(2015·镇江市高三教学情况调研)“I decided that my education was the most important thing that I could ever have, because without your education, you cant do much in this world. Some people find out the hard way. I did not want to be one of those people.”
Seventeenyearold high school senior Diamond May is devoted to her education. She takes all collegelevel classes in her school?s demanding International Baccalaureate program, where her gradepoint average last year was above a 4.0. Her favorite subjects are math, biology, psychology, and “Theory of Knowledge”， and she’s considering forensic science, mechanical engineering, and architecture as possible careers. Diamond also lives in southeast Washington, D．C., one of the most poverty and violencestricken neighborhoods in our nations capital — and was homeless for part of her sophomore year and nearly all of her junior year.
When the temperature dropped dramatically, Diamond’s family was assigned to move to the D．C. General Homeless Shelter, a former abandoned hospital. The squalor (肮脏) and desperation in the shelter made national headlines after 8yearold Relisha Rudd went missing just days before Diamonds family moved in. In the wake of that tragedy, newlyenforced rules said that parents and children had to arrive at and leave the shelter together. One of Diamond?s biggest challenges was rearranging her own academic and afterschool activities every day in order to coordinate with her mother and brother. Yet through it all, Diamond actually increased her academic performance — while many of her peers never had any idea what her family was going through.
On November 18 Diamond and four other extraordinary D．C.area high school seniors will be honored with the Children’s Defense Fund’s Beat the Odds award and a scholarship for college, given each year to students who have overcome great odds stacked against them to give back to their communities. Diamond’s phenomenal high school counselor Nigel Jackson describes Diamond and children like her this way：
“Theres been breakdown in the family, poverty and homelessness. So all of what we call risk factors, you can apply to every facet of Diamond?s experience ... children who grow up in a community that is underresourced, where all of the public schools are underperforming, where there?s crime, violence, where people experience trauma, where there?s loss, they are essentially being prepared to fail, and at worst, they?ve been prepared to die. Our students treat death like it?s a common occurrence. They haven?t been taught that they?re allowed to grieve. They?ve been taught that they have to tolerate trauma. And when you consider all those circumstances, she has beaten the odds because she has a warrior spirit. She is humble and she?s focused, and she has a goal. She?s not just alive but she?s thriving. She doesn?t see herself as small, or a victim, or minor. She sees herself as a diamond.”
I am so proud of Diamond, the other four young women the Children?s Defense Fund will honor, and the millions of other children like them who are forced to endure circumstances many adults could not imagine. Please consider joining us or supporting other Children?s Defense Fund Beat the Odds programs across the country or honoring a parent, grandparent, teacher, or mentor by providing a college scholarship in their honor. So many children need help escaping the poverty and violence and homelessness and unequal schools that are setting them up to fail. They have never been taught that they, too, are diamonds.

(2015·苏北四市第二次调研)My father was a selftaught mandolin player.When he was younger，he was a member of a small country music band.They would play at local dances and on a few occasions would play for the local radio station.He often told us how he had auditioned and earned a position in a band that featured Patsy Cline as their lead singer.
Occasionally, Dad would get out his mandolin and play for the family. We three children：Trisha, Monte and I, George Jr. , would often sing along. Dad only had to hear the song twice before he learned it well enough to play it. I loved to sing, but I never learned how to play the mandolin. This is something I regret to this day.
When Dad was younger, he worked for his father on the farm. In 1950, our family moved from the farm. Dad had gained employment at the local limestone quarry. When the quarry closed in August of 1957, he had to seek other employment. He worked for Owens Yacht Company in Dundalk, Maryland and for Todd Steel in Point of Rocks, Maryland.
While working at Todd Steel, he was involved in an accident. On this particular day, Dad got the third index finger of his left hand mashed between two pieces of steel. The doctor who operated on the finger could not save it, and Dad ended up having the tip of the finger amputated (锯掉). He didn?t lose enough of the finger where it would stop him picking up anything, but it did impact his ability to play the mandolin.
After the accident, Dad was reluctant to play the mandolin. When I came home on leave and asked him to play he would make excuses for why he couldn?t play. Eventually, we would wear him down and he would say “Okay, but remember, I can?t hold down on the strings the way I used to.” or “Since the accident to this finger I can?t play as good.” For the family it didn?t make any difference that Dad couldn’t play as well. We were just glad that he would play.
In August of 1993 my father was diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer.
He chose not to receive chemotherapy (化疗) treatments so that he could live out the rest of his life in dignity.About a week before his death, we asked Dad if he would play the mandolin for us. He made excuses but said “okay”. He knew it would probably be the last time he would play for us. He tuned up the old mandolin and played a few notes. We felt at the time that he wouldn?t have enough strength to play, and that makes the memory of that day even stronger. As sick as he was, he was still pleasing others. Dad sure could play that Mandolin!
★5.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Dad changed his jobs several times.
B．The author could play the mandolin well.
C．The author joined a band and played for the local radio station.
D．Dad had worked at a limestone quarry before working on his father’s farm.
6．Why was Dad unwilling to play the mandolin after the accident?
A．He was no longer fond of playing the mandolin.
B．His family didnt allow him to play the mandolin.
C．He was so seriously wounded that he couldnt play it any more.
D．He feared that he wouldnt be able to play it as well as he had before.
7．What does the underlined word in the last paragraph mean?
A．Impractical. B．Unclear.
C．Incurable.
D．Impossible.
8．Whats the best title of this passage?
A．A terrible accident
B．How to play the mandolin
C．My father and the mandolin
D．The life of my family

(2015·南京师大附中高三模拟考试)In a country as obsessed with education as China, it makes sense that online teaching has huge potential.
Wealthy Chinese spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to send their children abroad for what they perceive as a better education. And China?s scale means onlineeducation companies can serve vast audiences, justifying upfront investments.
“Everyone is looking at education as the next frontier，” said Yat Siu, chief executive at Outblaze, a Hong Kongbased mobile games and animation company. “The challenge is how we get people to transfer to the digital side, China is not quite there yet, but it will come.”
Online education has been slow to catch on in China even though the country has the world’s largest Internet user base and is the world’s largest smartphone market. Listed educational companies, facing pressure to generate steady cash flows, have been slow to invest in their online operations.
________. The country’s focus on tests means there is less need for interactive learning than in the U．S. system, which cultivates a wide range of interests and often seeks to accommodate different learning styles. In China, traditional programs that help with exams and job searches are still the most popular.
And there is a shortage of uptodate technology. Relatively few teachers in China have access to technology necessary for online, interactive education programs.
Traditional education companies have to adapt to the change, whether they like it or not. Yu Minhong, chairman of New Oriental Education & Technology Group Inc., said recently at a forum that online education will account for 40% of the private education market in three to five years, from 10% now, and the company is positioning itself as a content provider. Attention needs to be shifted from offline to online development, otherwise New Oriental won’t survive, Mr. Yu said.
Changing views of education in China make a shift to more online education inevitable. Chinese students are becoming less fixated on tests. Parents are increasingly sending their children to Englishimmersion camps abroad rather than classrooms. Today’s children are more comfortable with elearning.
Although Chinese consumers are often reluctant to pay for things on the Internet, there appears to be a higher willingness to pay for tools, education and efficiencyimprovement apps, judging by the top 100 apps in the paid categories for the iPhone and iPad.
“Once you put a device into a child’s hand, the ability to learn from it is very strong，” said Outblazes Mr. Sui, who has donated tablets to schools in Nepal.“Lectures are still the most popular way of learning, but the system is now more about explanation and selflearning.”
★9.According to the passage, online education is NOT popular in China now for the following reasons EXCEPT ________.
A．Chinese consumers are often unwilling to pay for things on the Internet
B．listed educational companies have difficulty investing in their online operations
C．Chinese consumers are used to the traditional education system
D．all teachers are not well equipped with the latest technology for interactive education programs
10．Which of the following sentences can be best put at the beginning of Paragraph 5?
A．Online teaching has huge potential in China.
B．Education companies will attach more importance to online education.
C．Another reason is China’s education system itself.
D．Selflearning plays the most important part in the education system.
11．Yu Minhong, chairman of New Oriental Education & Technology Group Inc., positions his company as a content provider because________.
A．online education is expected to expand
B．Chinese consumers are willing to pay for education
C．Chinese students are becoming less interested in tests
D．parents are sending their children to camps organized by his company
