四、 阅读理解（共1小题；每小题2分，满分0分）
In most developed countries the government provides free education for children because it realizes that educated citizens are useful to the country in their later life. Most countries also have private (私立的)education. This means that parents can pay to send their children to certain schools. People who agree with this system say that it gives parents a larger choice of schools. Other people think that private schools give the children who go to them an unfair advantage over other children.
At the age of three, many children go to nursery school. Two or three years later, they enter a primary school. At the age of 11 they go to a secondary school. Then they may have a chance .of continuing their studies at a university or college.
Universities and colleges are places where some young people go to continue their education after leaving school. Most university students study one main subject, though they may also study a number of others. Teaching is usually by lectures, or by discussions between a lecturer and students.
Most students stay at university for three or four years. At the end of that, they take an examination. If they pass, they receive their Bachelor’s degree, usually a BA, which is short for Bachelor of Arts, or a BS for Bachelor of Science. Some students study for several more years in order to get higher degree, such as a MA or a PhD
Most university courses don’t train students to do a certain job. Colleges, on the other hand, usually teach skills which enable students to follow a career（职业）, such as clothing design, or business studies.
56. The passage mainly tells us_______.
A Something about the private schools in developed countries
B. How developed countries pay attention to education
C. Some general information about education in developed countries
Why education is important
57. Why do most developed countries provide free education to children?
A. Because the children don’ t have money to go to school.
B. Because the government want their citizens to be useful to the country.
C. Because education doesn’t cost the country too much money.
D. Because there are not enough private schools.
58. Which of the following statement is true according to the passage?
All the university students study one subject.
After studying at the university for three or four years, all the students can
get a Bachelor’s degree.
C.
Students usually receive a master’s degree before receiving a Bachelor’s degree.
D.
Unlike university, colleges usually teach students some useful skills for a career.
B
Loneliness has been linked to depression（抑郁）and other health problems. Now, a study says it can also spread. A friend of a lonely person was fifty-two percent more likely to develop feelings of loneliness. And a friend of that friend was twenty-five percent more likely to do the same.
Earlier findings showed that happiness, obesity(肥胖) and the ability to stop smoking can also spread like infections within social groups. The findings all come from a major health study in the American town of Framingham, Massachusetts.
The study began in 1948 to investigate the causes of heart disease. Since then, more tests have been added, including measures of loneliness and depression.
The new findings involved more than five thousand people in the second generation of the Framingham Heart Study. The researchers examined friendship histories and reports of loneliness. The results established a pattern that spread as people reported fewer close friends.
For example, loneliness can affect relationships between next-door neighbors. The loneliness spreads as neighbors who were close friends now spend less time together. The study also found that loneliness spreads more easily among women than men.
The average person is said to experience feelings of loneliness about forty-eight days a year. The study found that having a lonely friend can add about seventeen days. But every additional friend can decrease loneliness by two and a half days.
Lonely people become less and less trusting of others. This makes it more and more difficult for them to make friends — and more likely that society will reject（排斥）them.
John Cacioppo at the University of Chicago led the study. He says it is important to recognize and deal with loneliness. He says people who have been pushed to the edges of society should receive help to repair their social networks.
59. As an average person, if you make 2 more friends, how many days a year might you suffer from loneliness?
A. 48 days.
B. 43 days.
C. 65 days.
D. 17 days.
60. What can we infer （推断）from the passage about lonely people?
A. They can overcome loneliness themselves.
B. They will decrease loneliness day by day.
C. They need help to get back to normal social life.
D. They can help others to repair their social networks.
61. What’s the best way to help lonely people according to this passage?
A. Bring them together.
B. Make friends with them.
C. Help them stop smoking.
D. Help them loose weight.
62. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Loneliness And Social Net Work B. Social Networks And Friendship
C. Loneliness And DietD. Help A Lonely Person
C
Do you often find yourself buried in lots of work and not knowing where to start? Or, are you often rushing to meet deadlines（截止日期）? This is a common problem for many managers with an increasing workload. At a very important time, it makes us nervous to achieve goals on time, which in turn can hurt the quality of our work. Becoming more organized in your working style can help make for a smoother sail at work.
Plan ahead: This is an obvious starting point, but the key is to stick to it, and to keep revising plans as things change. Set both long-term plans as well as a daily list of tasks. “Put things on your calendar rather than let things lead the calendar”, says Ongmu Gombu. “This calendar should list tasks by priority（优先）, with the ‘most important task’ placing at number one,” says Mr. Gombu. Planning ahead will help you gain a task that comes seasonally.
Prioritize: Once you know what needs to be done, be clear about what to do first. If you need help deciding, talk to your boss. Another way of prioritizing tasks is by understanding what has more impact on the business. An important part of prioritizing is to finish your work even if you have a comfortable deadline.
Keep cool: Often your well-planned and well-prioritized list will be thrown away by an event outside your control. Don’t let this put you totally off track. Keep yourself cool, because getting nervous and stressed about all that needs to be done will probably make you mad. Take a few deep breaths, and start with the most important task first. If you can’t decide one of two tasks, just pick one by throwing a coin. By doing this, you at least start moving toward your goal rather than wasting time.
Get help: When work comes at the same time and it seems like everything has to be done right away, seek help from your co-workers. This will ease the pressure and help you do a better job. It’s a two-way road, so be ready to help your co-workers in their times of need. Or even better, volunteer to do so when you have time. If you are a manager, groom your team members for more senior roles and give them power to make decisions so that you can rely on them when needed.
63. From the passage, we can know that ______.
A. planning ahead is the most important thing to finish your work
B. you can pick tasks by throwing a coin whenever and wherever
C. it is wise to do your tasks just on your own every time
D. it is important to learn what to do first after you decide your tasks
64. The passage is most likely to be chosen from a _______.
A. personal diary
B. travel guide
C. career （事业）magazine
D. science report
65. The underlined word “groom” in Paragraph5 can be replaced (代替) by “____”
A. train
B. control
C. lead
D. praise

九、任务型阅读（共
小题，每小题
分，满分 1 分）tudying Abroad
Nowadays, studying abroad gains popularity in China. Many rich parents would rather send their children abroad to receive education than have them educated in China.
As every coin has two sides, studying abroad is not an exception(例外). There are advantages for people to attend school abroad. In the first place, he can use the foreign language in his daily life so that his ability in the second language may be greatly improved, as it is obvious that there is no better chance to improve second-language than living in the country where it is spoken. While studying in a foreign country, he will most likely meet many others from overseas and it is possible to make friends from all over the world. This is not only exciting on the social level, but could lead to important overseas contacts in his career as well. He can get familiar with the knowledge updated in science and get the chance to use the first-rate facilities (设备) available. In this way, there is every chance that he is able to widen his horizon (眼界) and broaden his mind.
Of course, attending schools abroad may bring about a series of problems. The most serious problem is language barrier (障碍). Most of the students who go abroad don’t have enough skills in the language spoken there. As a result, on arriving there, they will find it difficult to understand what the teachers say. Besides, for lack of knowledge of the customs of the local people, they may constantly run into trouble in dealing with various situations.
Therefore, given an opportunity to attend a school abroad, one must consider both sides of the factors carefully before making up his mind.

Nicholas McMahon is a 4-year-old child. He is studying at college because he is too clever for school. Nicholas has computer lessons at the West London Institute. He spoke well before he was one year old. At 18 months old, he took telephone messages for his parents. At the age of two he began to learn French. The strange thing about Nicholas is that he taught himself to read before he could speak. His father said, “We knew immediately that he could read. When he could speak, he corrected my spelling.” When Nicholas went to school, his teachers just gave him pictures to color and toys to play with and didn’t have time to prepare special lessons for him. Then his parents decided that he couldn’ t stay at an ordinary school. Nicholas now spends more time in the West London Institute, and he also studies at home. He reads newspapers every day, and he can play the violin well.

作文
One possible version:
Dear Mr. Advice:
I am quite upset by two problems and don’t know how to deal with them.
My parents are hard on me and always want me to achieve high grades at school. Though I have developed a habit of playing the piano for one hour every day, my parents just require me to pay more attention to English study. They even want to punish me if I don’t drop it.
I am quite ashamed of my weight. I follow doctors’ advice and insist on working out every day, I pay attention to my diet as well, but I am still putting on weight! My weight just makes me feel embarrassed all the time. Do I really have to risk my health for a slim figure and take some weight-loss pills? They have side effects on our health!
Please give me some suggestions on how to get out of the terrible situation.
Sincerely yours,
Worried Angel
