Text 1 From West Virginia to Arizona,public-school teachers are in revolt.They are demanding better pay,and they deserve it-so long as their salaries are tied to their performance.It's not that U.S.teachers are underpaid;the median income for the country's l million high-school teachers,for example,is more than 50 percent higher than that of the general population.But relative to peers with similar levels of education,teachers are falling behind.In 1994,public-school teachers made only 2 percent less than college graduates in other fields;by 2015,the gap was 17 percent.Cuts in state education budgets have made the problem WOfse.In more than half of the country,aftcr adjusting for inflation,average teacher salaries have declined since the start of the century.In West Virginia,where pay has dropped by 8.9 percent since 2000,teachers went on strike in late February,forcing Iawmakers to pass a 5 percent pay increase for the next school year,Teachers'unions in Arizona,Oklahoma and Kentucky plan similar walkouts if their demands aren't met.To avoid such an outcome-which hurts students the most-both sides need to compromise.Teachers shouldn't have to work second and third jobs to make ends meet,as many say they do,even in states with low are fiercely defended by teachers'uuions.But they reduce the funds available for other priorities-like encouraging teachers to relocate to rural and low-income districts and addressing shortages of teachers in STEM subjects.Across-the-board pay increases for teachers may go some way toward improving student performance,but not far enough.Despite opposition from unions,school districts in at least 30 states have introduced performance-based bonuses for teachers.In schools where teacher pay is tied to student performance,test scores have nsen by the equivalent of three additional weeks oflearning.Districts with merit pay are better able to hire strong entry-level candidates and prevent high-performing teachers from leaving.Intemational comparisons bear out a basic,if self-evident,truth:how well students perform depends on how well they're taught.The U.S.should pay its teachers more-and give the best ones incentives to show how much they're worth.22.The word"walkouts"（Para.3）most probably meansA.tactics.
B.strikes.
C.decisions.
D.attacks.答案：B解析：词汇理解题。解决此类题目的关键：通读对应段落后，仔细分析上下句，找到相对应的表达。单词所在句的上一句讲到西弗吉尼亚州的教师举行了罢工，由画线单词前面的修饰词similar可知，亚利桑那州、俄克拉荷马州和肯塔基州的教师工会计划进行类似的罢工，故B项为正确选项。【干扰排除】A项、C项和D项在原文中均没有体现，因此应当排除。 -

B.across-the-board pay.
C.seniority salaries.
D.performance-based incentives.答案：C解析：事实细节题。根据题干关键词，对应文章第五段。第五段提到“在绝大多数学区，教师的薪水取决于他们的教育背景和多年的课堂经验。因为他们奖励的是资历，所以教师工会极力捍卫这些工资表”。由此可知，教师的教育背景和教龄与工龄工资有关，故C项为正确选项。【干扰排除】A项、B项和D项均为文章第六段内容，第六段未提及教育背景及教龄，因而这三个选项均与教师的教育背景和教龄无关，故排除。 -

Teaching Is“One of the Least Popular Jobs in the UK”
1. The UK government has just published a report on the future of secondary-school teaching (pupils aged 11-16),and the conclusion of the report is that many secondary schools now face great difficulties in finding people who want to be teachers.Since the 1980s,the number of grad-uates who say they would“seriously consider”teaching as a career has fallen sharply,from 64% in 1982 to just 17%today.The report suggests that urgent action needs to be taken in order to encourage more intelligent young graduates into teaching.
2. The main drawback of secondary teaching,according to the report,is the low salary.Earnings in teaching are much lower than in many other jobs,and this means that fewer and fewer young people decide to be teachers.Joanne Manners,24 is a good example:“I graduated in maths last year,and I was thinking of doing a teacher training course to become a maths teacher,but when I looked into the details , it became clear that teaching isn't a very lucrative（赚钱的）job these days .I saw I could earn twice as much if I worked in marketing or advertising,and so I decided not to become a teacher.”
3 .It's not just about the money,however. The survey concluded that another reason why people don't want to be teachers is that some teenagers behave very badly in school. A lot of schools have problems with discipline,and it seems clear that children do not have the same respect for teachers as in the past.Here's the view of Dave Hallam,an accountant from London:“I think parents are to blame .They should have stricter rules with their children at home and also teach their children to have more respect for teachers.”
4.“I love teaching;it's my passion.I've been a secondary-school teacher of Spanish for ten years now,and although it's a very demanding job,it's very satisfying.When I see my students passing their Spanish exams,or singing along to Spanish pop songs,It makes me feel so proud.” Says Brian Jones,who works in a secondary school in London.So what does he think the government should do to encourage more people to become teachers?“My view is that the government should reduce the burden of work on teachers.I find that I always have too much work to do.”
5.The report is clear that the problem of teacher shortage is a very serious one.It says that the government should raise teachers' pay significantly,to catch up with workers in other professions. It also suggests that the government could launch a nationwide publicity campaign,with some advertisements on TV and in the newspapers,to show the positive sides of teaching to young people. Another solution could be set a maximum number of hours per week that teachers can work,in order to reduce stress on teachers.“Hopefully,”the report concludes,“these solutions can improve the poor image of secondary teaching,and increase the number of young people who want to become teachers in the future.”More and more young people are held back from teaching____.
A: discipline problems
B: Their childhood memories
C: their stress
D: more training
E: because of its low pay
F: Its benefits答案：E解析：由第一段首句“The UK government has just published a report… many secondary schools now face great difficulties in finding people who want to be teachers.”可知，第一段主要讲的是一份关于教师短缺的报告。故选E。
由第二段首句“The main drawback of secondary teaching, according to the report, is the low salary.”可知，第二段主要讲的是教师的低薪问题。故选D。
由第三段首句“It's not just about the money, however.”第二句“The survey concluded that another reason why people don't want to be teachers is that some teenagers behave very badly in school.”和第三句“A lot of schools have problems with discipline , and it seems clear that children do not have the same respect for teachers as in the past.”以及作者借用 Dave Hallam的观点，可知，第三段主要讲的是教师缺乏的其他原因，即学生的不良行为和缺乏纪律。故选A。
由第四段最后“My view is that the government should reduce the burden of work on teachers. I find that I always have too much work to do.”可知，第四段主要讲的是教师繁重的工作负担。故选C。
由第二段首句“The main drawback of secondary teaching, according to the report, is the low salary.”可知，阻止越来越多的年轻人从事中学教育的主要原因是低薪。故选E。
由第三段最后“I think parents are to blame. They should have stricter rules with their children at home and also teach their children to have more respect for teachers.”可以推断，当出现纪律问题时，父母被鼓励去支持教师。故选A。
由第五段第四句“Another solution could be to set a maximum number of hours per week that teachers can work, in order to reduce stress on teachers.”可知，政府应减轻教师的工作负担，以减轻教师的压力。故选C。
由第五段第三句中的“to show the positive sides of teaching to young people”可知，政府应通过宣传教师职业的益处来推广教师职业。故选F。 -

问答题Practice 1 You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. Write about the following topic: Some teachers think it is effective for students to study in a group while others think it is better to study alone. What are the benefits of each study method and which one do you think is more effective? You should write at least 250 words.正确答案： 【参考范文】
As for choosing a better way of learning, some people believe that group learning is efficient in many aspects, while, others, on the contrary, think that individual learning can be give big harvests. Personally, both sides of the issue should be taken into consideration as follows.
The benefits of teamwork can be illustrated from two aspects: For one thing, the solidarity and power of a team can not be compared with by only an individual, which makes it possible the accomplishment of more advanced and tougher missions And at the same time, one can learn the good points which they do not have from their partners. For the other thing, it is also significant for people to improve their communicative skills in learning and social activities. Apparently, interpersonal relationships are among the most important ones in people's daily activities. At the same time, group learning means more people are sharing the fees, which can lower the ecomic burden of students. Anyhow, abtaining an equal chance to pursue education is of fundamental importance.
When it comes to learning individually, however, also two main benefits should be manifested: Firstly, it cultivates one's independence step by step. In other words, one tries to explore what he wants to learn through learning and thinking individually. Moreover, if one has to accomplish a project all by himself, it will be definitely necessary for him to devote himself to studying without any disruptions. With preoccupation, he may discover something new, besides discovering knowledge already existing, which is superior to group learning.
To sum up, both group and individual learning are essential to students. The ways vary from person to person based on one’s own demands and desires of learning. To solve this problem more efficiently and effectively, governments and experts should consider over this issue more insightfully and prudently.解析： 暂无解析 -

Teaching Is“One of the Least Popular Jobs in the UK”
1. The UK government has just published a report on the future of secondary-school teaching (pupils aged 11-16),and the conclusion of the report is that many secondary schools now face great difficulties in finding people who want to be teachers.Since the 1980s,the number of grad-uates who say they would“seriously consider”teaching as a career has fallen sharply,from 64% in 1982 to just 17%today.The report suggests that urgent action needs to be taken in order to encourage more intelligent young graduates into teaching.
2. The main drawback of secondary teaching,according to the report,is the low salary.Earnings in teaching are much lower than in many other jobs,and this means that fewer and fewer young people decide to be teachers.Joanne Manners,24 is a good example:“I graduated in maths last year,and I was thinking of doing a teacher training course to become a maths teacher,but when I looked into the details , it became clear that teaching isn't a very lucrative（赚钱的）job these days .I saw I could earn twice as much if I worked in marketing or advertising,and so I decided not to become a teacher.”
3 .It's not just about the money,however. The survey concluded that another reason why people don't want to be teachers is that some teenagers behave very badly in school. A lot of schools have problems with discipline,and it seems clear that children do not have the same respect for teachers as in the past.Here's the view of Dave Hallam,an accountant from London:“I think parents are to blame .They should have stricter rules with their children at home and also teach their children to have more respect for teachers.”

第19题：
问答题Directions:In this section, there is one passage followed by 5 questions. Read the passage carefully, then answer the questions in a maximum of 10 words. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet. Questions 1 - 5 are based on the following passage. Alarmed by a 20-year decline in student achievement, American schools are considering major upheavals in the career structure of teachers, school boards around the country are planning to abandon traditional salary schedules and single out outstanding teachers for massive pay rise.The idea is regarded with deep suspicion by the United States’ biggest teachers’ unions, the National Education Association and the American Federation of Teachers. They say the creation of a cadre of elite teachers will sour professional relationships and encourage teachers to compete instead of cooperate; they also question whether a fair way can be devised to tell which teachers really do perform better than their colleagues. But heightened public anxiety about secondary education appears to have given the master teacher concept unstoppable political momentum. Florida and Tennessee are racing to introduce ambitious statewide master teacher schemes before the end of the year. Less grandiose proposals to pay teachers on the basis of merit instead of seniority have already been implemented in countless school districts. And the Secretary of Education, Mr. Terrel Bell, recently promised substantial incentive grants to states which intend to follow their example. Low pay is believed to be the single most important reason for the flight from teaching. The average salary of a teacher in the United States is just under $19,000, much less than that of an engineer ($34,700) and not much more than that of a secretary($16,500). To make ends meet it is common for teachers to take second jobs in the evening and in their summer holidays, and women, who used to make up the bulk of teacher candidates are turning to better paid professions. The unions insist that the answer to this problem is to increase the basic pay of all teachers, but most states would find that too expensive, they would be better able to afford schemes that confine pay increases to a small number of exceptional teachers. Champions of the idea say it would at least hold out the promise of high pay and status to bright graduates who are confident of their ability to do well in the classroom, but are deterred by the present meager opportunities for promotion. One of the first large-scale tests of this approach will come in Tennessee, where a year of painstaking negotiations has just overcome bitter union opposition to a wide-ranging master teacher scheme. Tennessee promised that they will allocate $300 million as education budget. In return for a chance to earn bigger salaries and faster promotion, teachers will subject themselves to closer scrutiny. The Tennessee plan will make it harder for poor teachers to join the profession. Beginners will have to serve a probationary year before qualifying, and another three apprentice years before receiving tenure. Apprentice teachers who fail to reach a required standard will not be allowed to stay on. Survivors will be designated “career teachers” and given a chance to climb through three career rugs and earn bonuses of up to $7,000. Advancement will not be automatic. The performance of each teacher will be closely assessed by committees of teachers drawn from other districts. Questions: 1．What support is the federal government offering to states that set up a master teacher scheme? 2．What’s the purpose of the master teacher scheme? 3．In the state of Tennessee, how will teachers be assessed? 4．What is the main idea of the text? 5．What can be inferred from the text about the master teacher scheme?正确答案：
1.Substantial incentive grants. 第三段最后指出教育部长(Secretary of Education)答应给设立master teacher scheme的州substantial incentive grants。
2.To improve teacher performance. 从第三段可知master teacher scheme根据教师的merit而非seniority决定教师的工资,这一计划旨在提高教师的教学。
3.By committees of teachers from other districts. 第七段最后一句提到教师的表现将由committees of teachers drawn from other districts来评判。
4.American master teacher scheme has been adopted. 本文通篇都是讲述美国采取master teacher scheme。
5.It will not be carried out smoothly in other states. 倒数第二段提到在田纳西a year of painstaking negotiations has just overcome bitter union opposition to a wide-ranging master teacher scheme,可见这一计划推广受到很大的阻力,所以可以推测,在其他州也不会轻易实施这一计划的。解析： 暂无解析 -
第20题：
问答题The well-known phrase “honoring the teacher and respecting his teaching” has long been a part of Chinese tradition and culture. According to recent Global Teacher Status Index, teachers have the highest social status in China across the world. The following is a new report on people’s view on teaching profession. Read it carefully and write your response in about 300 words, in which you should: 1. summarize briefly the public’s view on teaching profession nowadays; 2. give your comment. Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks. As Teacher’s Day is approaching, the China Youth Daily received 1,089 reader responses from a nationwide survey. Results indicated that the teaching profession is still a respectable occupation; 91.6 percent voted that they wanted the most outstanding people to be teachers. “The profession of teacher should be the most respectable occupation in our society. The group should consist of the most outstanding people, or our nation’s development will be affected,” a respondent stated in the poll. Asked about which kind of teachers are the most outstanding ones, some readers answered: “Not all talented teachers are outstanding in their fields. An excellent teacher ought to be first of all a person of high morals, since teachers educate young people.” Even more interesting, 76.3 percent of the respondents said that a teacher is someone who influenced them most. But people’s views toward what kind of teachers are good teachers have changed. Another survey this June showed that 31.6 percent of the people admired knowledgeable teachers, 67.6 percent liked teachers who made their classes easy and interesting, and 51.9 percent preferred teachers with a good sense of humor. In short, being knowledgeable is the first and most important aspect of being a teacher, and on this basis, students clearly prefer lively and witty teachers. The bad news: recent years have seen the rapid reduction of normal universities and colleges. Many have been upgraded to comprehensive universities by name changes and mergers. Education experts worry that this kind of development will harm teacher training because these courses were conducted in those types of universities or colleges. The good news: the latest government work report states that the country would provide free education for students attending teacher training universities. The policy has become a reality as a total of 11,000 students enrolled in six teacher-training universities bare now begun enjoying free education as of last week. These students began registration respectively at the six universities based in Beijing, Shanghai, Changchun, Wuhan, Xi’an and Chongqing on September 4th. 73 percent of the readers who responded to the survey believed that the free education policy signals that the country is paying greater attention to education and teachers. 60.1 percent of the respondents said that the policy should be popularized and extended to more normal universities and colleges. Of those polled, the majority (55.6 percent) said that they wanted to be university or college teachers, because of the “high salary and low pressure, good working environment and non-fixed office hours.” “Some teachers even have their own research program.” 29.5 percent wanted to be middle school teachers, 13.4 percent wanted to be kindergarten teachers, and 8.2 percent say they didn’t want to teach at all. Some respondents said that the salary of rural teachers in central and western areas should be increased. If not, even those students who enjoy free education in normal universities and love the teaching jobs will still face the ultimate question: choose their dream job or find something better to make ends meet?正确答案：
【参考范文】
Even Teachers are Humans Needing Material Comfort The article above describes the dilemma of being a teacher in China The teaching profession, according to the survey did by China Youth Daily, is respected by the majority of Chinese people and the social expectation of teachers’ morality and knowledge remains high. Nevertheless, there is a worrisome trend that the number of teacher-training universities is decreasing and teachers’ salary is less than satisfactory. This mismatch is the very obstacle that prevents many young talents from the teaching profession. The fact soon catches the government’s attention and six universities are taking measures to help those potential teachers. From a student’s point of view, I know how important it is to have qualified teachers in my life and what a significant role the government should play in ensuring the teachers’ interests.
Two pertinent rewards to teachers should be guaranteed: tangible and intangible. We can learn from the news coverage above that teachers are now well-respected and have gained social recognition, which represents the teachers’ high social status. As for the tangible rewards, the situation is far from being contented. Most teachers in rural areas are under-paid and lead a dismal life. They are suffering from poverty, but meanwhile, they are responsible for thousands of students’ morality, knowledge and personality. I strongly believe that teachers deserve favorable housing allowance or an annual increase of bonus.
In conclusion, since teachers’ social value is widely recognized, they sure deserve better living conditions and higher salary. Without the fear of disturbance in the rear, the aspiring teachers can fully throw themselves into the teaching career.解析：

第24题：
单选题The expression “separate the wheat from the chaff in the teaching profession” is closest in meaning to ______.Adistinguish better teachers from less capable ones
Bdifferentiate young teachers from old ones
Ctell the essential qualities of good teaching
Dreevaluate the role of senior teachers
正确答案： A解析：
题干引用部分出现在第八段首句。文章中讲述了美国中小学教师招聘和工资发放以工作年限和学历为基础导致优秀教师流失，而水平一般的教师留了下来，此处separate the wheat from the chaff取其比喻义，chaff原义为“糠；谷壳”，文中形容把学校里的优秀教师和能力较差的教师进行明确区分。因此选项A正确。
