In public schools there are 53. rules. Rules are plentiful at Catholic schools, and someone is always making sure they are 54. . Most people believe that nuns (修女) are kind women who have 55. their lives to their religion. Our headmaster, Sister Mary Elizabeth, was the meanest woman I 56. met. She smoked and 57. and carried a ruler through the halls. Shed use it to hit students who were not 58. . She even kept an even bigger stick in the storage closet in the gym. When a student 59. someone, she had a solution. The same solution existed for a student who had poor 60. . And if a student was too 61. or did something wrong, they were not sent to the headmasters office. 62. , they were sent to the gym closet. I went to the gym closet once. The room was 63. lit when I arrived. It was also 64. with cigarette smoke when I got there. Sister Mary Elizabeths constant bad 65. was even worse that day. It happened that her 66. baseball team, which she had bet on, lost. The experience really 67. me. Thats how it 68. with most students. They took their 69. once and were too frightened to do anything wrong again.

Part 3 Reading Comprehension (Multiple Choice) (Each item: 2) Directions:Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.Questions 91 to 95 are based on the same passage or dialog.Society usually tends to focus on the negative side of inner-city schools. Many people like to stereotype (模式化) these schools which, while these general statements may be true in some cases, tend to be worse most of the time. People think that the students of these schools receive inferior educations. My school, an inner-city school named St. Ignatius, is regarded as one of the best in the state. People also believe that violence occurs on a daily basis, both in the school itself and in the nearby city. I cannot even remember a serious fight at St. Ignatius. People who think that the teachers at inner-city schools lack love for their job worsen this typical stereotype even further. My teachers not only had a love for teaching, but they were also able to cultivate a love for learning in their students. Take Mrs. Borroni, my Spanish teacher, for example. She would often take time out of her class to tell her students about the numerous activities after class with which we should get involved. She loved her job so much that she stayed after school every day to moderate activities such as Amnesty International (an international organization that protects human rights) and the Spanish Club. Her students, including me, joined all of the clubs which she moderated just because she made them so interesting. After reading all of this, most people would argue that St. Ignatius should not be considered a true inner-city school. While this may hold some truth, I am arguing that my life was greatly enriched simply because of the schools location in the middle of Cleveland, as opposed to a poor suburban area. 91.What do people often think negatively about?A. Inner-city schools.B. Stereotypes.C. St. Ignatius.D. Violence.92.What can the author never remember seeing at St. Ignatius?A. Amnesty International.B. A serious fight.C. A Spanish club.D. Inferior students.93.What would Mrs. Borroni do after school?A. Give Spanish classes.B. Tell students about activities.C. Guide students in special groups.D. Help students love learning.94.Why might a reader of this article not view St. Ignatius as a real inner-city school?A. It is not in the middle of the city.B. It is in a poor suburban area.C. It enriched the authors life.D. It might be better than others.95.How does the author feel about inner-city schools?A. The stereotypes about them are not at all true.B. They are not necessarily all bad, as they can be good.C. They are much poorer than those in the suburbs.D. The students there are more enlightened.Questions 96 to 100 are based on the same passage or dialog.In 1913, the United States government introduced a bold, new nickel. James Earle Fraser said his goal was to design a coin that would be truly American. In his search for symbols, he found none more distinctive than the American buffalo. Choosing to show a Native American on the other side of the coin, Fraser said the new nickel had perfect unity of theme. Production of Buffalo or Indian Head nickels began in February 1913. A single coining press at the Philadelphia Mint (造币厂) started turning out the nickels at the rate of 120 a minute. But after the first examples were introduced, The New York Times said they were bad. Other critics said that the coins rough surfaces would encourage counterfeiters (造假币的人). But the most serious complaint about the nickel had to do with its inability to stand heavy use. One coin collectors magazine predicted that the slightest wear would remove the date and the words Five Cents beyond understanding. In 1938, the Government staged a competition for a new nickel picturing Thomas Jefferson. According to a news item of the day, the Department of Indian Affairs didnt receive a single complaint from Native Americans about the design change. Collectors didnt seem to mind either. 96.In the eyes of Fraser, a _ is the most distinctive.A. nickelB. buffaloC. Native AmericanD. unity of theme97.In the second sentence, Paragraph 2, the word press means _.A. publicationB. newspaperC. machineD. the act of pushing down98.The design of a buffalo was modified _.A. because it was not able to stand heavy useB. because the words Five Cents were beyond understandingC. because the coin couldnt be pressed by the Philadelphia MintD. because the words were too high on the coin99.According to one collectors magazine using a Native American and a buffalo was _.A. a good ideaB. a bad ideaC. a perfect ideaD. a forced idea100.It seemed that the new nickel picturing Thomas Jefferson _.A. won much praise from collectorsB. caused strong protests from American IndiansC. was OK both to the collectors and American IndiansD. was praised both by the collectors and American IndiansQuestions 101 to 105 are based on the same passage or dialog.In the early days of sea travel, seamen on long voyages lived exclusively on salted meat and biscuits. Many of them died of scurvy (坏血病), a blood disease which causes swollen gums, livid (铅色的) white spots on the flesh and general exhaustion. On one occasion, in 1535, an English ship arrived in Newfoundland with its crew seriously ill. The mens lives were saved by Iroquois Indians (易洛魁印第安人) who gave them vegetable leaves to eat. Gradually it came to be realized that scurvy was caused by something lacking in the sailors diet. Captain Cook, on his long voyages of discovery to Australia and New Zealand, established the fact that scurvy could be warded off by the giving fresh fruit to the sailors. Nowadays it is understood that a diet which contains nothing harmful may yet result in serious diseases if certain important elements are missing. These elements are called vitamins. Quite a number of such substances are known and they are given letters to identify them, A, B, C, D, and so on. Different diseases are associated with a lack of particular vitamins. Even a slight lack of Vitamin C, for example, the vitamin most plentiful in fresh fruit and vegetables, is thought to increase our chances of catching colds. The vitamins necessary for a healthy body are normally supplied by a good mixed diet, including a variety of fruit and green vegetables. It is only when people try to live on a very restricted diet, say, during the extended periods of religious fasting (斋戒), or when trying to lose weight, that it is necessary to supply the missing vitamins. 101.Which of the following happens because of scurvy?A. People become hungry.B. People lose blood.C. People become livid.D. People feel pain in their gums.102.How would the sailors ward off scurvy on long trips?A. They took fresh fruit with them.B. They stopped in places to relax.C. They often found Indians to help.D. They ate vegetable leaves regularly.103.Which vitamin helps protect us against colds?A. Vitamin A.B. Vitamin B.C. Vitamin C.D. Vitamin D.104.What supplies all the vitamins we need to be healthy?A. Any one of the different sorts of green vegetables.B. Diets like those taken by religious people.C. Certain important elements known by letters.D. Mixed diets with different fruits and vegetables.105.When should people take vitamins?A. When wanting to be healthy.B. When joining a religion.C. When dieting to lose weight.D. When protecting against sickness.
