Ⅲ.阅读理解
Diana Jacobs thought her family had a workable plan to pay for college for her 21-year-old twin sons: a combination of savings, income, scholarships, and a modest amount of borrowing. Then her husband lost his job, and the plan fell apart.
“I have two kids in college, and I want to say ‘come home,’ but at the same time I want to provide them with a good education,” says Jacobs.
The Jacobs family did work out a solution: They asked and received more aid from the schools, and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the federal loan (贷款) program. They will each graduate with $20,000 of debt, but at least they will be able to finish school.
With unemployment rising, financial aid administrators expect to hear from more families like the Jacobses.More students are applying for aid, and more families expect to need student loans. College administrators are concerned that they will not have enough aid money to go around.
At the same time, tuition(学费)continues to rise. A report from the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education found that college tuition and fees increased 439% from 1982 to 2007, while average family income rose just 147%. Student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade.
“If we go on this way for another 25 years, we won’t have an affordable system of higher education,” says Patrick M. Callan, president of the center. “The middle class families have been financing it through debt. They will send kids to college whatever it takes, even if that means a huge amount of debt.”
Financial aid administrators have been having a hard time as many companies decide that student loans are not profitable enough and have stopped making them. The good news, however, is that federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing, and the government says that money will flow uninterrupted.
28.According to Paragraph 1,why did the plan of the Jacobs family fail?
A.The twins wasted too much money.
B.The father was out of work.
C.Their savings ran out.
D.The family fell apart.
29.How did the Jacobses manage to solve their problem?
A. They asked their kids to come home.
B. They borrowed $20,000 from the schools.
C.They encouraged their twin sons to do part-time jobs.
D.They got help from the schools and the federal government.
30.Financial aid administrators believe that ________.
A. more families will face the same problem as the Jacobses
B. the government will receive more letters of complaint
C.college tuition fees will double soon
D. America’s unemployment will fall
31.What can we learn about the middle class families from the text?
A. They blamed the government for the tuition increase.
B. Their income remained steady in the last decade.
C.They will try their best to send kids to college.
D. Their debts will be paid off within 25 years.
32.According to the last paragraph, the government will ________.
A. provide most students with scholarships
B. dismiss some financial aid administrators
C.stop the companies from making student loans
D. go on providing financial support for college students
课时作业(一)
Ⅰ.1.A of much experience“有很多经验的”,a lot of interesting experiences意为“很多有趣的经历”。experience作“经验”讲时是不可数名词,作“经历”讲时是可数名词。
2.B devote…to…中的to为介词,其后跟名词、代词或动名词。
3.D on/upon+(doing) sth.固定搭配,“一做某事就……”;see sb.doing看见某人正在做。
4.C 考查强调句型。根据It is…that 结构可知。
5.B not a bit 意为“一点也不”=not at all,根据I have already known可知“一点也不吃惊”。
6.D 考查状语从句。so…that…如此……以至于……,引导结果状语从句。
7.A 考查倒装。not until放在句首要用部分倒装,排除C、D项;两个动作是同时发生的,故使用助动词did。
8.D 此句主干是:Those will succeed。中间部分是定语从句,关系代词who引导的从句修饰those。
9.C the one指代the book,作先行词;which引导定语从句,修饰the one,which可省略。
10.A 由于先行词前有all修饰,故关系代词用that。
11.D 当先行词有人和物时,关系代词用that。
12.B 可将问话人说的还原成:This is the painting _______ you…,可见the painting是先行词,关系代词应指代它作从句里for的宾语。故选B。
13.C inform如果用主动形式,则用法为:inform sb.of sth.但本题中,“我”与inform之间存在被动关系,故用过去分词作宾补。
14.B the way后有两种后置定语,即the way to do sth.或者the way of doing sth.。
15.A 本题考查非谓语动词中不定式的用法。“people have made much use of to enjoy music”是the electronic devices的定语从句,其中to enjoy music在从句中作目的状语。
Ⅱ.音乐能够触及人的心灵,创造奇迹。
16.A 当时Dr Offutt是作者的老师,所以应向学生“解释”他们将要学习的内容。speak表示说话的内容时是不及物动词,teach用在此处丝毫没有意义。
17.C 根据but一词可推测作者现在虽然身为校长,可当年并不知未来如何。
18.D 他不仅教育作者思考,而且以大量事例让作者“信服”。根据本句中的as much by example可知是举例让作者相信他的话。
19.A 根据下文的our relationship changed可判断此项正确。后三项分别表示“职位”、“形势”、“条件;状况”,在文中都没有信息支持。
20.B 几年后,作者被“任命”为系主任,此处name是动词,表示 “任命;提名”。A项表示 “指出”,应改为appointed。
21.D 本句中间部分提到作者以前的英语老师仍然在此处工作,所以作者认为管理这个系的工作极具“挑战”性。
22.C 根据but一词可知Dr Offutt自始至终“支持”作者。下一句提供了暗示。
23.A 上文提到作者很茫然,不知所措,由此可知他给作者提供“建议”。此处,根据后面give宾语的内容也可以判断此项正确。
24.B 本段第一句提到作者即将出任另一所学校的校长,由此可知这是一次“机会”。根据本句的前一句可知作者并没有决定去担当此任,所以A项不正确;C项表示 “占据;占有;职业”,与语义不符。
25.C 上文提到作者遇到困难时他总是提供帮助和支持,由此可判断此项正确。下—句也是暗示。
26.D 伟大的老师有“取之不尽的”课程资源财富。A、C两项有一定的干扰牲,但不能很好地与great相搭配。
27.A 作者认为学生拥有良师无比“幸运”,因为作者对Dr Offutt这样的优秀老师永远铭记在心。
Ⅲ.28.B 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句话可知答案为B。
29.D 细节理解题。根据第三段中They asked and received more aid form the schools, and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the federal loan (贷款) program.可以判断正确答案为D。
30.A 细节理解题。根据第四段第一句话以及后面更详细的说明可知,将有更多的家庭面临像Jacobs一家同样的问题,因此选A。
31.C 细节理解题。由倒数第二段的The middle class families…They will send kids to college whatever it takes, even if that means a huge amount of debt.可知,中产阶级不惜任何代价送他们的孩子上大学。由此可知正确答案为C。
32.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段…federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing, and the government says that money will flow uninterrupted.可以判断政府会继续给大学生们提供资金支持。
