We are all interested in equality, but while some people try to protect the school and examination system in the name of equality, others, still in the name of equality, want only to destroy it.
Any society which is interested in equality of opportunity and standards of achievement must regularly test its pupils. The standards may be changed – no examination is perfect – but to have no tests or examinations would mean the end of equality and of standards. There are groups of people who oppose this view and who do not believe either in examinations or in any controls in school or on teachers. This would mean everything would depend on luck since every pupil would depend on efficiency, the values and the purpose of each teacher.
Without examinations, employers will look for employees from the highly respected schools and from families known to them – a form of favoritism will replace equality. At the moment, the bright child from an ill-respected school can show certificates to prove he is suitable for a job, while the lack of a certificate indicates the unsuitability of a dull child attending a well-respected school. This defense of excellence and opportunity would disappear if examinations were taken away, and the bright child from a poor family would be a prisoner of his school’s reputation, unable to compete for employment with the child from the favored school.
The opponents of the examination system suggest that examinations are an evil force because they show differences between pupils. According to these people, there must be no special, different academic class. They have even suggested that there should be no form of difference in sport or any other area: all jobs or posts should be filled by unsystematic selection. The selection would be made by people who themselves are probably selected by some computer.
The word “ favoritism” in paragraph 3 is used to describe the phenomenon that________.
bright children also need certificates to get satisfying jobs.
children from well-respected schools tend to have good jobs.
poor children with certificates are favored in job markets.
children attending ordinary schools achieve great success.
What would happen if examinations were taken away according to the author?
schools for bright children would lose their reputation.
There would be more opportunities and excellence.
Children from poor families would be able to change their schools.
Children’s job opportunity would be affected by their school reputation.
The opponents of the examination system will agree that_______________.
jobs should not be assigned by systematic selection.
computers should be selected to take over many jobs.
special classes are necessary to keep the school standards.
schools with academic subjects should be done away with.
The passage mainly focuses on _________________.
A. schools and certificates
B. examinations and equality
C. opportunity and employment
D. standards and reputation
5. The underlined word “reputation” means ______________.
A. successful achievement
B. good title
C. strict management
D. fame
B
One of the traditions which is now a necessary part of Christmas is that of Father Christmas, or Santa Claus. According to the modern legend, he is a magical figure who visits all the children of the world during the night before Christmas Day, leaving presents which they find the next morning. He flies through the night sky in a sledge pulled by reindeer, and enters houses by climbing down chimneys. This strange legend is based on the life of a man called Nicholas, but in fact we know very little about him. Historians think he was a Christian bishop(主教)in Turkey in about 285—350 A.D. One of the stories about him is that he helped three poor girls. No one would marry them because they were so poor. To provide them with money for their weddings, Nicholas secretly dropped some gold coins down the chimney of their house. After Nicholas died, he was made a saint(圣人)by the church. The name Santa Claus thus comes form St Nicholas. His feast day was celebrated in December, and parents started giving their children secret presents from St Nicholas. Over the years, this custom became part of our Christmas traditions.
Recently, a psychologist has claimed that Father Christmas is “the perfect fantasy” for children. According to Professor Anthony Clare, children love the character of Father Christmas because he is like an ideal father: he loves children and gives them presents, but he never criticizes them, is never angry, and children do not even need to thank him for the presents. Other writers, however, point out that Father Christmas can be a frightening character to some children. Jane Bidder says that some children are terrified of this fat, bearded old man. It can certainly confuse many children. As parents, we warn our children to be careful of strangers and never to let them into the house, and yet we tell children that a strange man will come into their bedroom at night! Some children can become very worried about this idea and fear that he is a kind of burglar.
Most children, however, understand from their parents and from the media that Father Christmas is basically a benign character, and look forward to his annual visit with joy and excitement.
The main point of the first paragraph is that ___________.
Father Christmas is an important part of Christmas
The tradition of Father Christmas is a modern idea
Father Christmas is a magical figure who can fly
The legends about Father Christmas are not true
The writer mentions details such as Father Christmas’s sledge, the reindeer and the way he climbs down chimneys because he/she ___________.
wants to make it clear that these things are impossible
is describing the history of St Nicholas
wants everyone to believe that Father Christmas is real
is explaining the modern legend of Father Christmas
Why does that writer mention the story about St Nicholas helping three poor girls?
It shows us that historians know very little about him.
This story explains why parents give secret presents to children.
It supports the writer’s main point that Father Christmas is based on an untrue story.
This story explains why we celebrate Christmas in December.
In the last paragraph, the underlined word “benign” means ___________.
A. religious
B. friendly
C. frightening
D. unreal
10 The best title for this passage would be __________.
A. Is Father Christmas Dangerous
B. The True History of St Nicholas
C. The Legend of Santa Claus
D. The Traditions of Christmas
C
In cities with rent control, the city government sets the maximum rent that a landlord (房东) can charge for an apartment. Supporters of rent control argue that it protects people who are living in apartment. Their rent cannot increase; therefore, they are not in danger of losing their homes. However, the critics say that after a long time, rent control may have negative effects. Landlords know that they cannot increase their profits. Therefore, they invest in other businesses where they can increase their profits. They do not invest in new buildings which would also be rent-controlled. As a result, new apartments are not built. Many people who need apartments cannot find any. According to the critics, the end result of rent control is a shortage of apartments in the city.
Some experts argue that the minimum wage law can cause problems in the same way. The federal government sets the minimum that an employer must pay workers. The minimum helps people who generally look for unskilled, low-paying jobs. However, if the minimum is high, employers may hire fewer workers. They will replace workers with machinery. Therefore, other things being equal, the number of workers that employers want decreases. Thus, critics hold the opinion that an increase in the minimum wage may cause unemployment. Some poor people may find themselves without jobs instead of with jobs at the minimum wage.
Supporters of the minimum wage say that it helps people keep their dignity. Because of the law, workers cannot sell their services for less than the minimum. Furthermore, employers cannot force workers to accept jobs at unfair wages.
Economic theory predicts the results of economic decision, such as decisions about farm production, rent control, and the minimum wage. The predictions may be corrected only if “other things are equal”. Economists do not agree on some of the predictions. They also do not agree on the value of different decisions. Some economists support a particular decision while others criticize it. Economists do agree, however, that there are no simple answers to economic questions.
11. There is the possibility that setting maximum rent may________.
cause a shortage of apartments
worry those who rent apartments as homes.
Increase the profits of landlords.
Encourage landlords to invest in building apartments.
We can safely say that rent control_________.
will always benefit those who rent apartments.
is unnecessary.
will probably bring inactive effects in the long run.
is necessary under all conditions
There will be the problem of unemployment if ________________.
the minimum wage is set too high..
the minimum wage is set too early.
the workers are unskilled.
the maximum wage is set for poor workers.
The passage tells us about _______________.
the relationship between supply and demand.
the possible results of government controls.
the necessity of government control.
the urgency of getting rid of government control.
15. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. The results of economic decisions cannot always be predicted.
B. Minimum wage cannot always protect employees.
C. Economic theory can help predict the results of economic decision if other factors are not changing.
D. Economists usually have the same prediction about an economic decision.
