27、D. obtain CD. symbols ABC. referAmong the note-taking forms in todays US schools, the Cornell method is widely recommended. Providing a form for concentrating and organizing notes, the Cornell method sets up a system to direct students to _49_ the paper into two columns. The note-taking column, whic

28、h is usually on the right, is twice the size of the key word column on the left. The student should leave five to seven lines blank, at the bottom of the page.Notes from a lecture or teaching occupy the note-taking column which _50_ contain the main ideas of the textbook or lecture. Most _51_ ideas

29、and long sentences are avoided while _52_ or abbreviations（缩写） are preferred instead. To assist with future reviews, _53_thoughts or questions should be noted down as soon as possible so that the students may _54_ to these points for reflection or further research. The key-word column is a(n) _55_ p

30、lace to note down these ideas. These ideas may later turn into potential research results as students are always encouraged to reflect on the notes _56_ or go deep into the questions further.Within 24 hours after the note-taking, the student must revise and then produce a short summary in the bottom

31、 space. Such move helps him to _57_ the topic better. When preparing for a test, the student has _58_ to a brief but detailed record of the previous classes.IV. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fil

32、l in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.In todays American society, high school dropout has day by day grown into a big problem threatening social and economic stability, as many cases of family _59_ or even tragedies, caused by youth dropout are grabbing headlines in medi

33、a. Dropping out is defined as leaving school without a high school diploma or equivalent _60_ such as a General Educational Development (GED) certificate. Although students who drop out come from various backgrounds, several _61_ facts can be noticed. National data show that students from low-income

34、, black or single-parent families are much more likely to drop out of school than their fellow students. _62_ performance is also playing a role. Students receiving poor grades which, in turn, leads to _63_ self-recognition, are sure to be on the high-risk list of dropping out.In recent years, advan

35、ces in technology have _64_ the demand for a highly skilled labor force, changing a high school education into a minimum requirement for entry into the labor market. As high school completion has become a(n) _65_ requirement for many entry-level jobs, dropouts are having a really hard time in todays

36、 job market. On average, dropouts are more likely to be unemployed than high school graduates and to earn less money even if they _66_ find jobs. Employed dropouts in a variety of studies are usually working at unskilled jobs or at _67_ service occupations offering little opportunity for upward mobi

37、lity.Considering the serious consequences dropping out may bring about, national leaders have demanded that schools, communities, and families take major steps to keep students at school. To make school attendance compulsory(强制的) looks like an effective measure. _68_, many people fear that it will n

A. calling upB. setting upC. picking upD. finishing upSection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are fou

43、r choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A)Wealth starts with a goal saving a dollar at a time. Call it the piggy bank strategy. There are lessons in that time-honored coin-saving container. Any huge task see

44、ms easier when reduced to baby steps. I f you wished to climb a 12,000-foot mountain, and could do it a day at a time, you would only have to climb 33 feet daily to reach the top in a year. If you want to take a really nice trip in 10 years for a special occasion, to collect the $15,000 cost, you ha

45、ve to save $3.93 a day. If you drop that into a piggy bank and then once a year put $1,434 in a savings account at 1% interest rate after-tax, you will have your trip money. When I was a child, my parents gave me a piggy bank to teach me that, if I wanted something, I should save money to buy it. We

46、 associate piggy banks with children, but in many countries, the little containers are also popular with adults. Europeans see a piggy bank as a sign of good fortune and wealth. Around the world, many believe a gift of a piggy bank on New Years Day brings good luck and financial success. Ah, but you

47、 have to put something in it. Why is a pig used as a symbol of saving? Why not an elephant bank, which is bigger and holds more coins? In the Middle Ages, before modern banking and credit instruments, people saved money at home, a few coins at a time dropped into a jar or dish. Potters(制陶工) made the

48、se inexpensive containers from an orange-colored clay called “pygg,” and folks saved coins in pygg jars.The Middle English word for pig was “pigge”. While the Saxons pronounced pygg, referring to the clay, as “pug”, eventually the two words changed into the same pronunciation, sounding the “i” as in

49、 pig or piggy. As the word became less associated with the orange clay and more with the animal, a clever potter fashioned a pygg jar in the shape of a pig, delighting children and adults. The piggy bank was born. Originally you had to break the bank to get to the money, bringing in a sense of serio

50、usness into savings. While piggy banks teach children the wisdom of saving, adults often need to relearn childhood lessons. Think about the things in life that require large amounts of money- college education, weddings, cars, medical care, starting a business, buying a home, and fun stuff like grea

51、t trips. So when you have money, take off the top 10%, put it aside, save and invest wisely. 74. What is the piggy bank strategy? A. Paying 1% income tax at a time. B. Setting a goal before making a travel plan. C. Aiming high even when doing small things. D. Putting aside a little money regularly f

52、or future use.75. Why did the writers parents give him a piggy bank as a gift?A. To delight him with the latest fashion. B. To encourage him to climb mountains.C. To help him form the habit of saving. D. To teach him English pronunciation.76. What does then underlined word “something”(Paragraph 3) m

53、ost probably refer to?A. Money B. GiftsC. Financial success D. Good luck77. The last paragraph talks about _. A. the seriousness of educating children B. the enjoyment of taking a great trip C. the importance of managing money D. the difficulty of starting a business (B) Last summer, two nineteenth-

54、century cottages were rescued from remote farm fields in Montana, to be moved to an Art Deco building in San Francisco. The houses were made of wood. These cottages once housed early settlers as they worked the dry Montana soil; now they hold Twitter engineers. The cottages could be an example of th

55、e industry s odd love affair with “low technology,” a concept associated with the natural world, and with old-school craftsmanship that exists long before the Internet era. Low technology is not virtual (虚拟的) so, to take advantage of it, Internet companies have had to get creative. The rescued wood

56、cottages, fitted by hand in the late eighteen-hundreds, are an obvious example, but Twitters designs lie on the extreme end. Other companies are using a broader interpretation of low technology that focuses on nature. Amazon is building three glass spheres filled with trees, so that employees can “w

57、ork and socialize in a more natural, park-like setting.” At Googles office, an entire floor is carpeted in glass. Facebooks second Menlo Park campus will have a rooftop park with a walking trail. Olle Lundberg, the founder of Lundberg Design, has worked with many tech companies over the years. “We h

58、ave lost the connection to the maker in our lives, and our tech engineers are the ones who feel impoverished (贫乏的) , because theyre surrounded by the digital world,” he says. “Theyre looking for a way to regain their individual identity, and weve found that introducing real crafts is one way to do t

59、hat.” This craft based theory is rooted in history, William Morris, the English artist and writer, turned back to pre-industrial arts in the eighteen-sixties, just after the Industrial Revolution. The Arts and Crafts movement defined itself against machines. “Without creative human occupation, peopl

60、e became disconnected from life,” Morris said. Research has shown that natural environments can restore our mental capacities. In Japan, patients are encouraged to “forest-bathe,” taking walks through woods to lower their blood pressure. These health benefits apply to the workplace as well. Rachel K

61、aplvin, a professor of environmental psychology, has spent years researching the restorative effects of natural environment. Her research found that workers with access to nature at the officeeven simple views of trees and flowersfelt their jobs were less stressful and more satisfying. If low-tech o

62、ffices can potentially nourish the brains and improve the mental health of employees then, fine, bring on the cottages.78. The writer mentions the two nineteenth-century cottages to show that _. A. Twitter is having a hard time B. old cottages are in need of protection C. early settlers once suffere

63、d from a dry climate in Montana D. Internet companies have rediscovered the benefits of low technology79. Low technology is regarded as something that _. A. is related to nature B. is out of date today C. consumes too much energy D. exists in the virtual world80. The main idea of Paragraph 5 is that

64、 human beings _. A. have destroyed many pre-industrial arts B. have a tradition of valuing arts and crafts C. can become intelligent by learning history D. can regain their individual identity by using machines81. What might be the best title for the passage? A. Past Glories, Future Dreams B. The Vi

65、rtual World, the Real Challenge C. High-tech Companies, Low-tech Offices D. The More Craftsmanship, the Less CreativitySection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.However important we may regard school life to be,

66、 there is no denying the fact that children spend more time at home than in the classroom. Therefore, the great influence of parents cannot be ignored or discounted by the teacher. They can become strong allies of the school personnel or they can consciously or unconsciously hinder and frustrate cur

67、ricular objectives.Administrators have been aware of the need to keep parents informed of the newer methods used in schools. Many principles have conducted workshops explaining such matters as the reading readiness program, manuscript writing and developmental mathematics. Moreover, the classroom te

68、acher, with the permission of the supervisors, can also play an important role in enlightening parents. The informal tea and the many interviews carried on during the year, as well as new ways of reporting pupils progress, can significantly aid in achieving a harmonious interplay between school and

69、home.To illustrate, suppose that a father has been drilling Junior in arithmetic processes night after night. In a friendly interview, the teacher can help the parent sublimate (升华) his natural paternal interest into productive channels. He might be persuaded to let Junior participate in discussing

70、the family budget, buying the food, using a standard or measuring cup at home, setting the clock, calculating mileage on a trip and engaging in scores of other activities that have a mathematical basis.If the father follows the advice, it is reasonable to assume that he will soon realize his son is

71、making satisfactory progress in mathematics, and at the same time, enjoying the work. Too often, however, teachers conferences with parents are devoted to petty (不重要的) accounts of childrens misdeeds, complaints about laziness and poor work habits, and suggestion for penalties and rewards at home.Wha

72、t is needed is a more creative approach in which the teacher, as a professional adviser, plants ideas in parents minds for the best utilization of the many hours that the child spends out of the classroom.In this way, the school and the home join forces in fostering the fullest development of youngs

73、ters capacities.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements with NO MORE THAN 14 WORDS)82. Why do parents also have great influence on children?_83. Through which ways can the teacher play an important role in enlightening parents?_84. According to the teacher, that parent should let the

74、boy _if he wants to sublimate his natural paternal interest into productive channels in teaching his son arithmetic.85. A more creative approach is needed for _of children out of classroom. 第二卷I.

85、talk with Mr. Maloney might be quite open and frank.Q: What does the woman mean?Section B Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.When I borrowed my friends ancient jeep for a trip to the mountain, he assured me of the vehicles good condition and I decided to give it a shot. At fi

86、rst, the drive up to the top of the mountain was smooth, and the magnificent landscape along the road took my breath away. But just minutes before I reached my destination, the smoke started to pour out of the engine. I was forced to stop at a small village from which the nearest repair place was mi

87、les away. Villagers gathered to look, some even starting to inspect the jeep. An old man patted me on the shoulder, saying, “Theres a hole in the jacket of the water tank. You just need some green bananas!” Just as I was puzzled about what he said, a boy ran to us with green bananas in his arms. The

88、 old man cut one in half and pressed one half against the tank. The banana, to my surprise, melted against the hot metal, covering the hole instantly. After one more application of the green banana, the villagers waved me goodbye and within an hour, the jeep amazingly made it to repair place.This ch

89、ance experience with the green banana showed me not only the genius of those villagers but also the potential of the green banana. In fact, as I thought about the experience further, I realized that the green banana had been there for ages, patiently waiting to be appreciated as more than a common f

90、ruit. The green banana taught me that if we can see the world in a new light, we may discover many more unexpected green bananas.Questions:11. What happened to the ancient jeep on the way?12. How was the problem solved?13. What did the author learn from the incident?Questions 14 through 16 are based

91、 on the following passage.This is the local daily news. More than half of British airline pilots say they have fallen asleep during flight, a survey said yesterday.According to BALPA, the British Airline Pilots Association (BALPA), 300 out of 500 commercial pilots surveyed admitted being asleep duri

92、ng work. And one third of these sleeping pilots said that they had woken up to find their co-pilot also asleep. Pilot exhaustion became the headlines and aroused public concern this week when a newspaper reported two pilots on a British flight fell asleep, leaving the full plane travelling automatic

93、ally in the air. The survey came before the European governments decide on the air rule changes.The rule changes would mean that pilots could work a total of 110 hours in a two-week period, more than the 95-hour limit under the current regulations, and at night pilots could be expected to fly for up

94、 to 11 hours, against a current 10-hour limit.Many people are worried about the changes. Tiredness is already a major challenge for pilots who are deeply concerned that unscientific new EU rules will increase levels of tiredness, which is believed to be the leading cause for air accidents, beating m

95、echanical faults and natural threats such as storms or fogs.Questions 14. How many pilots surveyed have found their co-pilots asleep during flight?15. What is the air rule change proposed by European governments?16. What is the No. 1 reason for the flight accidents?Section CBlanks 17 through 20 are

And I am afraid I have to make some changes.W: OK, sir. Can you give me your purchase serial number so that I can loca

What can I help you with?M: Well, I am thinking about changing our seats from the back to the front. It tu

98、rned out that my girlfriend is poor in eyesight. I fear that she cant see the stadium clearly from the back.W: Sure sir. I should note down your stated reason for the change: Poor eyesight. OK, and there are two seats available at the 5th row. Its quite near the main stadium.M: Oh, good.W: But of co

99、urse you have to pay for the price difference. Your previous ticket is 54 dollars each and the new ticket is 224 dollars each, which means you have to pay an extra 170 dollars for each ticket. 340 dollars in total. Cash and credit cards are both acceptable.M: I will pay cash.W: Then you can go to th

100、e stadium box office on that day, state your serial number and pay on site.Blanks 21 through 24 are based on the following conversation:M：Hey, Jenny. Its going to be Thanksgiving .

101、your credit card.W: I am paying through PayPal. Its a global e-business allowing payments and money transfers.
