第1题：
Online learning is also called distance education. Many American colleges and universities have been offering it for years.
One example is New York University in Manhattan. The School of Continuing and Professional Studies began online classes in nineteen ninety-two. Its Virtual College has taught more than ten thousand students from across the United States and other countries.
Last year, the School of Continuing and Professional Studies launched NYU Online. It offers NYU's first online programs to earn a bachelor's degree. Programs are offered in three areas: leadership and management, information systems management and social sciences. University officials say classes are highly interactive, where students communicate with each other and their teachers. Some classes require students to all log in at the same time so they can attend live lectures by a professor. Students can also ask questions and work together on team projects. The university says classes are taught by NYU professors who have been trained in online teaching.
International students must take two admission tests before they can be accepted into the program. These are the SAT and the TOEFL. We will discuss these tests later in our series.
The cost to attend NYU Online depends on how many classes a student takes. It can cost as much as fifteen thousand dollars a year. NYU offers no financial aid for international students in this program. You can get more details at nyu.edu.
1. When did New York University start its online classes?
A. In 1990
B. In 1998.
C. In 1992.
D. In 1982.
2. Which of the following is NOT included in the online programs offering a BA degree?
A. Information Systems Management.
B. Finance and Economy.
C. Leadership and Management.
D. Social Sciences.
3. What can the students do in the online learning programs?
A. Communicate with each other and the teacher.
B. Attend classes and lectures together.
C. Ask questions and work together on team projects.
D. Students are taught by NYU professors in the classroom.
4. International students can be accepted into the program after ________ .
A. they take the SAT and the TOFEL
B. they go to New York University
C. they apply and log in
D. two years in the United States
5. How much does the online learning program cost per year?

EDGEWOOD - Every morning at Dixie Heights High School, customers pour into a special experiment: the district’s first coffee shop run mostly by students with special learning needs. Well before classes start, students and teachers order Lattes, Cappuccinos and Hot Chocolates. Then, during the first period, teachers call in orders on their room phones, and students make deliveries. By closing time at 9.20 a.m., the shop usually sells 90 drinks. "Whoever made the chi tea, Ms. Schatzman says it was good," Christy McKinley, a second year student, announced recently, after hanging up with the teacher. The shop is called the Dixie PIT, which stands for Power in Transition. Although some of the students are not disabled, many are, and the PIT helps them prepare for life after high school. They learn not only how to run a coffee shop but also how to deal with their affairs. They keep a timecard and receive paychecks, which they keep in check registers. Special-education teachers Kim Chevalier and Sue Casey introduced the Dixie PIT from a similar program at Kennesaw Mountain High School in Georgia. Not that it was easy. Chevalier's first problem to overcome was product-related. Should schools be selling coffee? What about sugar content? Kenton County Food Service Director Ginger Gray helped. She made sure all the drinks, which use non-fat milk, fell within nutrition (营养) guidelines. The whole school has joined in to help. Teachers agreed to give up their lounge (休息室) in the mornings. Art students painted the name of the shop on the wall. Business students designed the paychecks. The basketball team helped pay for cups.
59．What is the text mainly about?
A．A best-selling coffee.
B．A special educational program.
C．Government support for schools.
D．A new type of teacher-student relationship.

Passage 1
Kimberley Asselin sits in a rocking chair in front of her 22kindergartners, a glistening smile across her face as she greets them for themorning. Even at 9 a.m., she is effervescent and charismatic.
Yet behind Asselin′s bright expression, her enthusiasm is fading.
Asselin,24, is days away from finishing her first year as a teacher, the career of her dreams since shewas a little girl giving arithmetic lessons on a dry-erase board to her stuffed bears and dolls.
While she began the school year in Virginia′s Fairfax County full of optimism, Asselin nowfinds herself, as many young teachers do, questioning her future as an educator. What changed in themonths between August and June She says that an onslaught of tests that she′s required to give toher five-and six-year-old students has brought her down to reality.
"It′ s more than a first-year teacher ever imagines," Asselin said."You definitely have a lot ofhighs and lows, and it keeps going up and down and up and down."
New federal data that the Education Department released in April shows that about 10 percent ofnew teachers leave the profession within the first year on the job, and 17 percent leave within five yearsof starting. Though far lower than earlier estimates, it still means that many young educators bail fromthe classroom before they gain much of a foothold. For Asselin, testing has been the biggest stressor.
The proliferation of testing in schools has become one of the most contentious topics in U.S.education. The exams can alter the course of a student′s schooling and can determine whether ateacher is promoted or fired. In Virginia, schools earn grades on state-issued report cards based onthe scores students earn on mandatory end-of-year exams.
The Fairfax County school system, one of the nation′s largest, boasts that its kindergartenstudents take part in coursework that exceeds the state′ s standards. Unlike most states, Virginia hasnever adopted the Common Core State Standards, but Virginia officials say that the state′ s academicstandards are just as--or more--rigorous.
Asselin said that means that even the youngest students in public school are trader an academicmicroscope, making kindergarten about far more than socialization and play time.
What is Asselin likely to do under the current educational system
A.Reconsider her future.
B.Change her ways of teaching.
C.Have fewer tests for her students.
D.Emphasize her students' academic skills.答案：A解析：推断题。题干：在现在的教育制度下，Asselin最可能做什么。根据原文第二段“Yetbehind Asselin’s bright expression，her enthusiasm is fading”，第三段“questioning her future as an educator”，可以推断Asselin可能会重新考虑她的未来。选择A。B项“改变她的教学方法”和D项“侧重她的学生的学习技能”与原文“她的热情在褪去”矛盾；C项“给她的学生少些考试”。这不是她能决定的。 -
第5题：
根据下面资料，回答
That year, in the local school, there was a new math teacher, as well as some new pupils. One of the new kids was the stupidest child that anyone had ever seen. It made no difference how quickly or how slowly they tried explaining numbers to him; he would always end up saying something enormously stupid. Like two plus two was five, seven times three was twenty-seven, or a triangle had thirty comers, etc.
Before this boy arrived, math lessons had been the most boring of all. Now they were great fun. Encouraged by the new teacher, the children would listen to the pieces of nonsense spouted by the new kid, and they would have to correct his mistakes.
Whenever the new teacher asked questions, the stupid kid would stand up but made the wrong answers, the other students all wanted to be the first to find his mistakes, and then think up the most original ways to explain them. To do this they used all kinds of stuff: sweets, playing cards, oranges, paper planes, etc. It didn′t seem like any of this bothered the new kid.
However, little Lewis was sure that it was bound to make him feel sad inside. Lewis was sure he would see him crying. So, one day, he decided to follow the new kid home after school. On leaving school, the new kid walked a few minutes to a local park, and there he waited for a while, until someone came along to meet him.
It was the new teacher!
The teacher gave the new kid a hug, and off they went, hand in hand. Following from a distance, Lewis could hear they were talking about math.
What does the underlined word "this" in the third paragraph refer to?A.To find the new kid' s mistakes.
B.To think up the most original ways to explain.
C.To use all kinds of stuff.
D.To follow him home after school.答案：C解析：指代题。根据第三段中“to do this they used all kinds of stuff：sweets，playing cards,oranges，paper planes，ere．It didn’t seem like any of this bothered the new kid．"可知选C。 -

第7题：
Text 3 Today,widespread social pressure to immediately go to college in conjunction with increasingly high expectations in a fast-moving world often causes students to completely overlook the possibility of taking a gap year.After all,if everyone you know is going to college in the fall,it seems silly to stay back a year,doesn't it?And after going to school for 12 years,it doesn't feel natural to spend a year doing something that isn’t academic.But while this may be true,it’s not a good enough reason to condemn gap years.There's always a constant fear of falling behind everyone else on the socially perpetuated“race to the finish line,”whether that be toward graduate school,medical school or lucrative career.But despite common misconceptions,a gap year does not hinder the success of academic pursuits－in fact,it probably enhances it.Studies from the United States and Australia show that students who take a gap year are generally better prepared for and perform better in college than those who do not.Rather than pulling students back,a gap year pushes them ahead by preparing them for independence,new responsibilities and environmental changes－all things that first-year students often struggle with the most.Gap year experiences can lessen the blow when it comes to adjusting to college and being thrown into a brand new environment,making it easier to focus on academics and activities rather than acclimation blunders.If you're not convinced of the inherent value in taking a year off to explore interests,then consider its financial impact on future academic choices.According to the National Center for Education Statistics,nearly 80 percent of college students end up changing their majors at least once.This isn’t surprising,considering the basic mandatory high school curriculum leaves students with a poor understanding of themselves listing one major on their college applications,but switching to another after taking college classes.It’s not necessarily a bad thing,but depending on the school,it can be costly to make up credits after switching too late in the game.At Boston College,for example,you would have to complete an extra year were you to switch to the nursing school from another department.Taking a gap year to figure things out initially can help prevent stress and save money later on.
The word“acclimation”（Line 8,Para.3）is closest in meaning to_____A.Adaptation
B.application
C.Motivation
D.competition答案：A解析：根据题干关键词“acclimation”（Line 6,Para.3）定位到第三段最后一句。定位句指出，空档年的经历可以减轻适应大学生活和突然进入全新环境时的各种冲击，使他们更容易将精力集中在学术和活动上，并且在acclimation之后是名词blunders“失误”。定位句主要在强调适应全新环境的问题，由此可知，可能出现的失误或者障碍都应该是与适应环境有关的，故正确答案为A。 -
第8题：
Text 2 Disruptive students are a headache for public schools.They distract from lessons,skip class,and often bring down the graduation rates.That's why school districts across the country have resorted to opening altemative schools in recent decades,with hopes that smaller classes and individual attention might help these students get their diplomas.But even these alternative schools（which differ from charter schools in that they are still part of school districts and thus answer to supervisors）can be a burden:They're expensive to run,and their graduation rates are still pretty low.Desperate for help,many school districts are now hiring private companies to manage these altemative schools and educate their most troublesome students.Large,urban districts like Chicago and Philadelphia have been working with this emerging industry for several years now.Though research shows that problematic students in Philadelphia did better in alternative schools than traditional ones,there is a wide variance in school quality,and detailed information about their curricula is scarce.The question on the table is whether a business whose job it is to make money can better educate vulnerable students than a public system with no profit motive.It's not too different from the dynamic between the federal government and the private companies running its prisons across the country.But the Justice Department announced last week that it would stop contracting with the private sector,in part because it doesn't seem to save that much money,and in part because the service didn't improve either.Richmond is one of the latest cities to experiment with outsourcing education.In July,the city hired a Texas-based company called Camelot Education to run the Richmond Altemative SchooL which last year served 223 students from across the city in grades 6 through 11.Nearly all of the students at Richmond Alternative are black（97 percent）and most are poor（87 percent qualify for free lunches）.Somc black parents once dubbed it the"colored children's prison"and it has been criticized for contributing to what's called the school-to-prison pipeline-Virginia is the state that refers the most students to law enforcement.Data provided by Richmond's school district shows that its altemative school has been floundering for years,When the school year ended three months ago,the numbers were alarming:The dropout rate had jumped to 38 percent,compared t0 28 percent just two years earlier.And students'scores in nearly every subject had fallen by 50 percent or more during that time.
The most appropriate title for the text would be_____A.Can a Private Company Teach Troubled Kids?
B.Alternative Schools-Prison or Paradise for Troubled Kids?
C.Federal Government Failed to Run Alternative Schools
D.Altemative Schools in Philadelphia Do Better than Other Schools答案：A解析：主旨大意题。文章主要讨论的是私人公司来管理非传统学校，教育问题学生的内容，并对这种方式提出疑问，可推测A项“私人公司能教好问题学生吗？”是最佳答案。【干扰排除】文章的主要内容是讨论私人公司是否能管理好非传统学校和问题学生，并不是讨论非传统学校本身，所以B项排除；C项“联邦政府未能开办非传统学校”是政府运营管理的问题，并非本文论述的主要内容．可排除：D项“费城的非传统学校比其他学校做得更好”是文中提到的一个案例，不能概括全文的内容，所以D项错误。 -
第9题：
About 35%of all high school graduates in America continue their education in an institution of higher learning.The word college is used to refer to either a college or a university.These institutions offer four-year programs that lead to a Bachelor of Arts(B.A.)or Bachelor Science(B.S.)degree.Some students attend a junior college(providing only a two-year program)for one to two years before entering a four-year college as a sophomore(二年级生)or junior(三年级生).
It is generally easier to be accepted at a state university than at a private one.Most private schools require strict entrance examinations and a high grade point average(GPA),as well as specific college prep classes in high school.Private schools cost considerably more than state colleges and famous private schools are very expensive.Poorer students can sometimes attend,however,by earning scholarships.Some college graduates go on to earn advanced masters or doctoral degrees in grad(graduate)school.Occupations in certain fields such as law or medicine require such advanced studies.
Since college costs are very high,most students work at part-time jobs.Some have full-time jobs and go to school part-time.Often some will take five or more years to complete a four-year program because of money/job demands on their time.
While the college and work demands take up the great part of a student’s time,most still enjoy social activities.Sports,dances,clubs,movies,and plays are all very popular.However,gathering together for long,philosophical talks at a favorite meeting place on or near the university is probably the most popular activity.
College education is_______in America.A.quite common
B.very rare
C.something difficult
D.almost impossible答案：A解析： -

单选题Passage1Soon after starting his job as superintendent of the Memphis，Tenn.，public schools，Kriner Cash ordered an assessment of his new district's 104，000 students. The findings were depressing：nearly a third had been held back at least one academic year. The high school graduation rate had fallen to 67%.One in five dropped out. But what most concerned him was that the number of students considered highly mobile，meaning they had moved at least once during the school year，had ballooned to 34，000，partly because of the home-foreclosure crisis. At least 1，500 students were homeless-probably more.I had a whole array of students who were angry，depressed，not getting the rest they needed，Cash says. It led him to consider an unusual proposition: What if the best way to help kids in impoverished urban neighborhoods is to get them out？Cash is now calling for Memphis to create a residential school for 300 to 400 kids whose parents are in financial distress，with a live-in faculty rivaling those of elite New England prep schools. If Cash's dream becomes a reality，it will probably look a lot like SEED，a charter school in Southeast Washington，which stands for Schools for Educational Evolution and Development. Its 320 students-seventh-to 12th-graders-should live on campus five days a week. They are expected to adhere to a strict dress code and keep their room tidy. There are computers in the dorm's common areas, and each student in grades 10 and above is given a desktop computer. At 11:30 every night it's lights out.In his plan for Memphis, Cash wants even more time. Perhaps the most provocative aspect of his proposal is to focus on students in grades 3 through 5 for homelessness is growing sharply among kids at that critical age, when much of their educational foundation is set, Cash says. His aim: to prevent illiteracy and clear other learning roadblocks early, so the problem won't migrate into middle and high school. Students will remain on campus year-round. The school would cost up to S50,000 a day to operate-three times the cost of a traditional day school with more than twice as many students.It sounds very exciting, but the devil is in the details. says Ellen Bassuk, president of the National Center on Family Homelessness in Newton, Mass.What is Kriner Cash worried about most after knowing the result of the assessment?AThe falling rate of high school graduation.
BMiddle school student's dropping out at a very high speed every year.
CStudents being held back an academic year.
DThe growing number of students moving frequently during the school year.

Text 3 Today,widespread social pressure to immediately go to college in conjunction with increasingly high expectations in a fast-moving world often causes students to completely overlook the possibility of taking a gap year.After all,if everyone you know is going to college in the fall,it seems silly to stay back a year,doesn't it?And after going to school for 12 years,it doesn't feel natural to spend a year doing something that isn’t academic.But while this may be true,it’s not a good enough reason to condemn gap years.There's always a constant fear of falling behind everyone else on the socially perpetuated“race to the finish line,”whether that be toward graduate school,medical school or lucrative career.But despite common misconceptions,a gap year does not hinder the success of academic pursuits－in fact,it probably enhances it.Studies from the United States and Australia show that students who take a gap year are generally better prepared for and perform better in college than those who do not.Rather than pulling students back,a gap year pushes them ahead by preparing them for independence,new responsibilities and environmental changes－all things that first-year students often struggle with the most.Gap year experiences can lessen the blow when it comes to adjusting to college and being thrown into a brand new environment,making it easier to focus on academics and activities rather than acclimation blunders.If you're not convinced of the inherent value in taking a year off to explore interests,then consider its financial impact on future academic choices.According to the National Center for Education Statistics,nearly 80 percent of college students end up changing their majors at least once.This isn’t surprising,considering the basic mandatory high school curriculum leaves students with a poor understanding of themselves listing one major on their college applications,but switching to another after taking college classes.It’s not necessarily a bad thing,but depending on the school,it can be costly to make up credits after switching too late in the game.At Boston College,for example,you would have to complete an extra year were you to switch to the nursing school from another department.Taking a gap year to figure things out initially can help prevent stress and save money later on.
A gap year may save money for students by helping them____A.avoid academic failures
B.establish long-term goals
C.switch to another college
D.decide on the right major答案：D解析：根据题干关键词save money和by helping可以定位到第四段第一句，定位句指出，“如果度过一个空档年去发现兴趣点的内在价值还不足以令你信服的话，那么考虑一下它对未来学业选择的经济影响吧。”在随后的分析中，作者指出，高校新生换专业十分频繁，因为他们多半在入学前不了解自己的真正需求和大学学业特点，空档年有助于他们想清楚自己的实际兴趣和需要，避免换专业带来的经济等方面压力，由此可知，正确答案为D。 -

第20题：
Text 2 Disruptive students are a headache for public schools.They distract from lessons,skip class,and often bring down the graduation rates.That's why school districts across the country have resorted to opening altemative schools in recent decades,with hopes that smaller classes and individual attention might help these students get their diplomas.But even these alternative schools（which differ from charter schools in that they are still part of school districts and thus answer to supervisors）can be a burden:They're expensive to run,and their graduation rates are still pretty low.Desperate for help,many school districts are now hiring private companies to manage these altemative schools and educate their most troublesome students.Large,urban districts like Chicago and Philadelphia have been working with this emerging industry for several years now.Though research shows that problematic students in Philadelphia did better in alternative schools than traditional ones,there is a wide variance in school quality,and detailed information about their curricula is scarce.The question on the table is whether a business whose job it is to make money can better educate vulnerable students than a public system with no profit motive.It's not too different from the dynamic between the federal government and the private companies running its prisons across the country.But the Justice Department announced last week that it would stop contracting with the private sector,in part because it doesn't seem to save that much money,and in part because the service didn't improve either.Richmond is one of the latest cities to experiment with outsourcing education.In July,the city hired a Texas-based company called Camelot Education to run the Richmond Altemative SchooL which last year served 223 students from across the city in grades 6 through 11.Nearly all of the students at Richmond Alternative are black（97 percent）and most are poor（87 percent qualify for free lunches）.Somc black parents once dubbed it the"colored children's prison"and it has been criticized for contributing to what's called the school-to-prison pipeline-Virginia is the state that refers the most students to law enforcement.Data provided by Richmond's school district shows that its altemative school has been floundering for years,When the school year ended three months ago,the numbers were alarming:The dropout rate had jumped to 38 percent,compared t0 28 percent just two years earlier.And students'scores in nearly every subject had fallen by 50 percent or more during that time.
The current situation of Richmond's altemative school is that_____A.the school is developing well for years
B.more children have given up going to school
C.children's academic performance has been improved
D.the government will continue to cooperate with the private company答案：B解析：推理判断题。根据定位词定位到最后一段。该段描述的是里士满的这所非传统学校的近况，包括辍学率上升，成绩大幅下降，可见这所学校已经在挣扎的边缘，故这所学校的现状是B项“更多的孩子已经放弃上学”。【干扰排除】根据最后一段可推测这所学校的境况并不好，所以A项可排除；文中提到学生成绩大幅下降，所以C项错误；里士满的学校情况糟糕，政府可能不会继续和公司合作，所以D项错误。 -

第23题：
单选题请阅读 Passage 1,完成21-25小题。 Passage 1 Kimberley Asselin sits in a rocking chair in front of her 22 kindergartners, a glistening smile across her face as she greets them for the morning. Even at 9 a.m., she is effervescent and charismatic. Yet behind Asselin´s bright expression, her enthusiasm is fading. Asselin,24, is days away from finishing her first year as a teacher, the career of her dreams since she was a little girl giving arithmetic lessons on a dry-erase board to her stuffed bears and dolls. While she began the school year in Virginia´s Fairfax County full of optimism, Asselin now finds herself, as many young teachers do, questioning her future as an educator. What changed in the months between August and June? She says that an onslaught of tests that she´s required to give to her five-and six-year-old students has brought her down to reality. "It´ s more than a first-year teacher ever imagines," Asselin said."You definitely have a lot of highs and lows, and it keeps going up and down and up and down." New federal data that the Education Department released in April shows that about 10 percent of new teachers leave the profession within the first year on the job, and 17 percent leave within five years of starting. Though far lower than earlier estimates, it still means that many young educators bail from the classroom before they gain much of a foothold. For Asselin, testing has been the biggest stressor. The proliferation of testing in schools has become one of the most contentious topics in U.S.education. The exams can alter the course of a student´s schooling and can determine whether a teacher is promoted or fired. In Virginia, schools earn grades on state-issued report cards based on the scores students earn on mandatory end-of-year exams. The Fairfax County school system, one of the nation´s largest, boasts that its kindergarten students take part in coursework that exceeds the state´ s standards. Unlike most states, Virginia has never adopted the Common Core State Standards, but Virginia officials say that the state´ s academic standards are just as--or more--rigorous. Asselin said that means that even the youngest students in public school are trader an academic microscope, making kindergarten about far more than socialization and play time.How did Fletcher Davis make a living before starting to sell his "hamburgers"?AHe was a sailor in Germany.
BHe sold fried potato strips.
CHe opened a lunch counter.
DHe sold pottery products.
