　　—I put it there just now in case you needed it.

　　A．does it landB．has it landed

　　C．will it land

　　D．had it landed

　　解析：选B。考查动词的时态。句意为：——我并没有要这份名单。为什么我的桌子上放着这东西？——这是我刚刚放的，以备你需要。I didn’t ask for和I put it there just now都表示过去的动作，很有迷惑性，但Why has it landed on my desk？是到说话时为止的情况，名单在桌子上。现在完成时表示过去发生的对现在有影响的动作，故选B。

　　2．—__________ you see those people on that little sandy island？They __________ handkerchiefs for the last half hour.I wonder why.

　　—They need help.The tide’s coming in and very soon that little island will be under water.

　　A．Do；have been waving

　　C．Do；had been waving

　　解析：选A。句意：——你看见小沙洲上的那些人了吗？半小时了，他们一直挥舞着手绢。我不知是怎么回事。——他们需要救援。潮水正在上涨，不一会儿那小岛就要被淹没。根据时态第一空采用一般现在时。现在完成进行时表示一个过去开始、现仍在继续的动作，所以第二空采用现在完成进行时。

　　A．have been laying down

　　B．have laid down

　　C．have been laid down

　　D．were laying down

　　解析：选A。句意：成千上万的巴勒斯坦人为了他们国家的和平而一直在献出生命。强调一直在做某事，动作的延续，故用完成进行时。完成进行时强调动作一直在延续，没有停止，而完成时强调动作到说话时刻不再进行。另外，短语lay down one’s life是“献出生命”的意思。

　　A．was

　　B．had been

　　Each new school year brings fresh reminders of what educators call the summer learning gap.Some call it the summer learning setback.Put simply，it means the longer kids are out of school，the more they forget.The only thing they might gain is weight.Recent studies show that children gain weight more quickly in the summer vacation than when they are in school.

　　Most American schools follow a traditional nine-month calendar.Students get winter and spring breaks and about ten weeks of summer vacation.Some schools follow a yearround calendar.They hold classes for about eight weeks at a time，with a few weeks off in between.But many experts point out that the number of class days in a year-round school is generally the same as in a traditional school.

　　Last year，a study at Ohio State University reported that year-round students did not learn any more than other students.Lead researcher Paul von Hippel said “year-round schools don’t really solve the problem of the summer learning setback.They simply spread it out across the year”．

　　Across the country，research shows that students from poor families fall farther behind over the summer vacation than other students.Experts say this can be prevented.They note that many schools and local governments offer the programs that can help.

　　But calling them “summer schools” could be a problem.The director of the summer learning center at Johns Hopkins，Ron Fairchild，recently wrote about this issue on his blog.

　　He said that in American culture，the idea of summer vacation is connected to the beliefs about freedom and the joys of childhood.He said research with groups of different parents in Chicago and Baltimore found that almost all strongly disliked the term summer school.They said it created an image of children being forced to do work they missed during the school year.

　　1．Which of the following is the result of the long summer vacation?

　　A．Kids become much stronger.

　　B．More kids drop out of school.

　　C．Kids become poor in learning.

　　D．Kids take part in all kinds of activities.

　　解析：选C。细节推断题。根据第一段中的“Each new school year...learning setback.”可知C项正确。

　　2．Some American schools have their vacations ________.

　　A．every two months

　　B．every few weeks

　　C．every three months

　　D．every four months

　　解析：选A。推理判断题。根据第二段中的“They hold classes for about eight weeks at a time”可知有些美国学校每八周放假一次，也就是每两个月。

　　3．The study at Ohio State University suggests that ________.

　　A．the traditional calendar is better than the year-round one

　　B．the year-round calendar is better than the traditional one

　　C．the traditional calendar is as bad as the year-round one

　　D．the year-round calendar is the same as the traditional one

　　解析：选D。细节理解题。根据第二段的内容以及第三段中的“Last year，a study at...other students.”可知D项正确。

　　4．According to American culture during the summer vacation kids ________.

　　A. should try their best to improve their lessons

　　B．must choose to take part in one of the programs

　　C．should do what they like and enjoy themselves

　　D．must be forced to make up for their poor lessons

　　解析：选C。细节推断题。根据最后一段可知，在美国文化中，暑假应该代表着自由和童年的快乐。

　　I first met Confucius in a friend’s living room，nearly 10 years ago.OK，so it wasn’t really the bearded(蓄胡子的)Chinese philosopher.It was a collection of his most famous lines，printed and resting on a coffee table.As I looked through the pages，an image of the man began to form in my mind.

　　It wasn’t until last Saturday，though，that I finally had a chance to put a name to the face—that of Hong Kong star Chow Yun-fat，who played the role of Confucius.I went to see the film knowing very little of Confucius’ personal story.I left wondering what I would have thought of the man if I really had met him in person.

　　Would I have been like the farmer in the film who kept on harvesting grain when Confucius and his disciples(门生)stopped and asked for directions? Would I have been like the alluring consort(played by Zhou Xun) who requested a meeting with the sage(圣人) only to test him? Or would I have been one of the young men who left everything to follow him into the wilderness?

　　I suppose it all depends on the historical knowledge of director Hu Mei’s Confucius.

　　In the movie，we see a man who is all at once humble(虚心的)，wise，humorous，intelligent，disciplined(自律的)and firm.Even when Zhou’s character all but throws himself on Confucius，the philosopher walks away with hardly a trace of desire on his face.

　　Still，though，I’m not quite sure I’d have given up everything—family，livelihood，home—to sit at his feet day and night and live on horse-meat soup，as his followers do in the movie.For if Chow’s Confucius has one flaw (瑕疵)，it’s that he abandons his wife and daughter in order to spread his philosophy throughout China.

　　【解题导语】　电影《孔子》(Confucius)在全国各大影院公映。电影中，无论是孔圣人周润发的大气磅礴，还是南子周迅的艳光四射，都能给人带来耳目一新的视觉震撼和发人深省的精神震撼。这样一部经典电影，这样一个圣人形象在外国人眼中却不是尽善尽美的。作者尤其不欣赏孔子抛弃妻女到全国各地传播思想的做法。

　　I once had my Chinese MBA students brainstorming on “two-hour business plans”．I separated them into six groups and gave them an example: a restaurant chain.The more original their idea, the better, I said.Finally, five of the six groups presented plans for restaurant chains.The sixth proposed a catering(餐饮) service.Though I admitted the time limit had been difficult, I expressed my disappointment.

　　My students were middle managers, financial analysts and financiers from state-owned enterprises and global companies.They were not without talent or opinions, but they had been shaped by an educational system that rarely stressed or rewarded critical thinking or inventiveness.The scene I just described came in different forms during my two years’ teaching at the school.Papers were often copied from the Web and the Harvard Business Review.Case study debates were written up and just memorized.Students frequently said that copying is a superior business strategy, better than inventing and creating.

　　In China, every product you can imagine has been made and sold.But so few well-developed marketing and management minds have been raised that it will be a long time before most people in the world can name a Chinese brand.

　　With this problem in mind, partnerships with institutions like Yale and MIT have been established.And then there’s the “thousand-talent scheme”： this new government program is intended to improve technological modernization by attracting top foreign-trained scientists to the mainland with big money.But there are worries about China’s research environment.It’s hardly known for producing independent thinking and openness，and even big salary offers may not be attractive enough to overcome this.

　　At last, for China, becoming a major world creator is not just about setting up partnerships with top western universities.Nor is it about gathering a group of well-educated people and telling them to think creatively.It’s about establishing a rich learning environment for young minds.It’s not that simple.
