Parent volunteers, if available, can do a lot of help. Teachers can benefit from such help. New books can be marked Computers can be turned on or shut off properly. Teaching equipment can be cleaned and stored away. The list of jobs that parent volunteers can do is endless. Some schools even provide a coordinator to introduce these volunteers to teachers.It is important to make sure volunteers feel useful and are given a variety of tasks to do. When a volunteer realizes there is no real contribution to make, he or she will not come back. Sometimes being given too many boring repetitive tasks drives volunteers away, too.A teacher who wants to use the service of volunteers successfully should give time to the planning of tasks. Make a list of possible tasks for the volunteer to do. The tasks can be kept in a notebook. Information such as class schedule, names of students and school rules could also be included in the notebook. When the volunteer arrives, the teacher may not immediately have an opportunity to explain tasks. The volunteer can then check the notebook and pick a job on his or her own decision.It is obvious that the class benefits from having adults. Children often behave better with the volunteer near them. Some volunteers work one-on-one with children or with small groups, helping children get needed attention.

Many television companies have used sports to attract viewers from particular sections of the general public, and then they have sold audiences to advertisers. An attraction of sport programs for the major U.S. media companies is that events are often held on Saturday and Sunday afternoons the slowest time periods of the week for general television viewing. Sport events are the most popular weekend programs, especially among male viewers who may not watch much television at other times during the week. This means the television networks are able to sell advertising time at relatively high prices during what normally would be dead time for programming. Media corporations also use sports to attract commercial sponsors that might take their advertising dollars elsewhere if television stations did not report certain sports. The people in the advertising departments of major corporations realize that sports attract male viewers. They also realize that most business travelers are men and that many men make family decisions on the purchases of computers, cars and life insurance. Golf and tennis are special cases for television programming. These sports attract few viewers, and the ratings (收视率) are unusually low. However, the audience for these sports is attractive to certain advertisers. It is made up of people from the highest income groups in the United States, including many lawyers and business managers. This is why television reporting of golf and tennis is sponsored by companies selling high-priced cars, business and personal computer, and holiday trips. This is also why the networks continue to carry these programs regardless of low ratings. Advertisers are willing to pay high fees to reach high-income consumers and those managers who make decisions to buy thousands of “company cars” and computers. With such viewers, these programs dont need high ratings to stay on the air.68. Why would weekend afternoons become dead time without sport programs?A. Because there would be few viewers.B. Because the advertisers would be off work.C. Because television programs would go slowly.D. Because viewers would pay less for watching television.69. The ratings are not important for golf and tennis programs because _.A. their advertisers are car makersB. their viewers are attracted by sportsC. their advertisers target at rich peopleD. their viewers can afford expensive cars70. What is the passage mainly about?A. Television viewers are determined by male viewers.B. Rich viewers contribute most to television companies.C. Sports are gaining importance in advertising on television.D. Commercial advertisers are the major sponsors of sport events.【参考答案】68、ACC阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A.B.C和D项中，选出最佳选项。The record rise in world food prices last month is not only a start to a possible food price shock in the coming months, but also an obvious warning that the international community cannot afford to ignore. The fearful consequences of long-term climate change are more closing now and divided response to the global financial crisis could make them worse. Early this week, the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization announced that its benchmark food price index had jumped to 214.7 points in December, above the previous peak of 213.5, which was set in June 2008 and caused food riots(暴乱) in some poor countries. With the world economy showing little sign of emerging out of the mess any time soon, the record increase in food prices is certainly shocking. The 2008 food crisis was a silent tsunami for the worlds poor. So, what will happen if food prices remain high over the next several months? The obvious answer is: The number of hungry people across the world, about 1 billion according to UN estimates, will almost certainly increase. Hence, the international community should prepare to solve a food crisis similar to that in 2008. For the moment, that means policymakers across the globe should make joint efforts to prevent panic over food prices both at home and in the global market. But to prevent such food crises from happening again, the international community must first recognize that our future is likely to be affected by extreme weather more seriously than feared earlier if we continue to drag our feet in the fight against climate change. The looming food crisis calls for a stronger sense of urgency than what negotiators, especially those from developed countries, have shown at UN climate change conferences in recent years. Besides, soaring world food prices also highlight the threat of super-loose monetary policies that some rich countries have adopted to let rapid inflation erode（腐蚀） the real value of their debt burden. Excessive liquidity from developed countries has pushed up commodity prices in the world market and created considerable inflationary(通货膨胀) pressure on developing countries. This is unfair to developing countries, which are relatively poor and suffer a lot more from food-led inflation. As the worlds most populous country, China can draw some comfort from its bumper harvest last year, which was also its seventh continuous rich harvest. The countrys success in feeding one-fifth of the worlds population with less than 10 percent of global farming land shows that its great efforts to increase agricultural production have paid rich interest. But Chinese policymakers cannot assume that such favorable conditions will continue. Rapid urbanization and population changes in the country will make it increasingly difficult to further raise grain output. Therefore, China should take the record rise in world food prices as a call to double its efforts to improve farm productivity. 16. Whats the best title of the passage?A. Urgent Concern about the Rise of the World Food Prices B. The Climate Changes Are to BlameC. Global Farming D. Urgent Concern about the Poor Countries.17. What will happen if food prices remain high over the next several months?A. The number of hungry people all over the world will almost certainly increase.B. Many people will die easily for lack of food.C. People will fight with each other and cause riots across the world.D. Excessive liquidity from developed countries will create considerable inflation.18. Which of the following is not true according to the passage?A. The rapid inflation eroded the real value of some rich countries debt burden by the super-loose monetary policies.B. People all over the world should work together to prevent the food crisis.C. The food price index had jumped to the peak in 2008.D. The developing countries suffered a lot more from food-led inflation. 19. Which of the following has the similar meaning to the underlined phrase “drag our feet”?A. quicken our pace B. slow our paceC. pull our feet. D. walk quickly20. The Chinese policymakers doubt whether the grain output will continue to increase because_.A. the farms will not work harder than beforeB. the population in China will be smaller and smallerC. more houses will be built on the farm land in the futureD. the terrible weather will affect the agriculture production【参考答案】1620、AACBC 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A.B.C和D项中，选出最佳选项。My newly-rented small apartment was far away from the centre of London and it was becoming essential for me to find a job, so finally I spent a whole morning getting to town and putting my name down to be considered by London Transport for a job on the underground. They were looking for guards, not drivers. This suited me. I couldnt drive a car but thought that I could probably guard a train, and perhaps continue to write my poems between stations. The writers Keats and Chekhov had been doctors. T.S. Eliot had worked in a bank and Wallace Stevens for an insurance company. Id be a subway guard. I could see myself being cheerful, useful, a good man in a crisis（艰难危险时期）. Obviously Id be overqualified but I was willing to forget about that in return for a steady income and travel privileges those being particularly welcome to someone living a long way from the city centre.The next day I sat down, with almost a hundred other candidates, for the intelligence test. I must have done all right because after about half an hours wait I was sent into another room for a psychological test. This time there were only about fifty candidates. The interviewer sat at a desk. Candidates were signaled forward to occupy the seat opposite him when the previous occupant had been dismissed, after a greater or shorter time. Obviously the long interviews were the more successful ones. Some of the interviews were as short as five minutes. Mine was the only one that lasted a minute and a half.I can remember the questions now: “Why did you leave your last job?” “Why did you leave your job before that?” “And the one before that?” I cant recall my answers, except that they were short at first and grew progressively shorter. His closing statement, I thought, revealed a lack of sensitivity which helped to explain why as a psychologist, he had risen no higher than the underground railway. “Youve failed the psychological test and we are unable to offer you a position.”Failing to get that job was my low point. Or so I thought, believing that the work was easy. Actually, such jobs being a postman is another one I still desire demand exactly the sort of elementary yet responsible awareness that the habitual dreamer is least qualified to give. But I was still far short of full self-understanding. I was also short of cash.1The writer applied for the job chiefly because _.Ahe wanted to work in the centre of London Bhe could no longer afford to live without oneChe was not interested in any other available job Dhe had received some suitable training2The writer thought he was overqualified for the job because _.Ahe often traveled undergroundBhe had written many poemsChe could deal with difficult situations Dhe had worked in a company3The length of his interview meant that _.Ahe was not going to be offered the job Bhe had not done well in the intelligence testChe did not like the interviewer at all Dhe had little work experience to talk about4What does the writer realize now that he did not realize then?AHow unpleasant ordinary jobs can be. BHow difficult it is to be a poet.CHow unsuitable he was for the job.DHow badly he did in the interview.5Whats the writers opinion of the psychologist?A. He was very aggressive（有进取心的）. B. He was unhappy with his job.C. He was quite inefficient. D. He was rather unsympathetic.【参考答案】15、BCACD 【黑龙江哈尔滨第六中学四模】AThere are plenty of beauty schools throughout the country that can help to start a career in cosmetology(美容学).
