Students should be allowed to study without worrying about grades. Fortunately, most educators are being aware of the fact that students have different interests and abilities. I understand that grades are useful, but grades often limit creativity. peting for better grades causes many students to turn down opportunities to pursue music, dramatics and sports. Grades force an arbitrary (武断的) standard of success on everyone. I do not demand, as some extremists do, that grades be removed immediately. However, I do believe that less emphasis should be placed on grades. I hope that someday grades will bee optional atVillageHigh School.MagdalenaSmithDrama ClubDear editor,Id like to say something about grades. Lets face the facts about grades. Grades perform three basic functions. First, grades motivate students to work at their highest level of petence. Second, they act as a reward for hardworking students and as a punishment to students who do not work hard. Finally, grades are used as an effective standard by which to measure student achievement. Good grades help students to get jobs and to get into university. Ive spoken with a number of students who have jobs, and most of them say that they were hired primarily on the basis of their grades. My grades helped me land a part-time job and will help me get into university next year. I think grades are extremely important atVillageHigh School.Simon HarperScience Club21. Which of the following is not Magdalena Smiths opinion?A. Students may give up the chance to learn music and sports for grades.B. Students creativity may not be developed for grades.C. Grades should not be used to measure a persons success.D. Grades should be taken away at once.22. We can learn Simon Harper _.A. believes in the benefits of good gradesB. is concerned about students creativityC. doesnt work too hard at his studiesD. supports students interests and abilities23. From the second letter, we can infer that Simon Harper is a/an _.A. teacherB. headmasterC. studentD. advertiserBThere is a story about a man who lost his legs and left arm in an accident. After the accident, only a finger and thumb on his right hand remained.He was a brilliant, creative, and educated man. He had gained a lot of experience while traveling around the world, so he became very depressed after his accident. He was afraid that he would spend the rest of his life suffering and would no longer be able to spend his life in a meaningful way. Then, he realized that he still had partial function of his right hand and could still write even though it was very difficult. An idea occurred to him, “Why not write to other people who need encouragement?”He wrote to the prison ministry about sending letters to the prisoners. The prison minister replied, “Writing to the prisoners is acceptable, but your letters will not be answered.”Filled with excitement, the man knew he could write his letters. He began sending one-way messages of Gods love, hope, strength, and encouragement. He wrote twice a week, testing his strength and ability to the limit. He poured his heart and soul into his words and shared his experience, sense of humor, optimism, and faith.It was difficult to write those letters, especially without hope of a reply. One day he received a letter from the prison ministry. It was a short note from the officer who monitored and checked the prison mail.The letter said, “Please write on the best paper you can afford. Your letters are passed from room to room until they fall to pieces!”No matter what circumstances life may present, we all have unique experiences, abilities, and God-given talents. We can discover ways to reach others who desperately need messages of encouragement and strength.24. Before the man had the accident, he_.A. had toured around the worldB. had visited local prisonsC. had tried doing exercise to recover himselfD. had been friends with the prison minister25. In order to live in a meaningful way, the man began to_.A. receive the school educationB. write to other people who needed encouragementC. meet the people who were depressedD. help other people who lost arms and legs26. From the officers short note we are told that_.A. the man would be offered free paper to write letters onB. some of the prisoners were not satisfied with his lettersC. the prisoners eagerly wanted to write back to the manD. his letters were very popular among the prisoners27. What can be the best title for the passage?A. Stories about a Humorous PersonB. Popularity of Special LettersC. Special Letters of EncouragementD. Relationship between Writers and PrisonersCBelieve it or not but it is true. There are people who lose the ability to understand or use words due to brain damage. But they bee extremely good at something else. They bee experts at spotting liars. The condition in which people lose their power to understand or use words due to brain damage are called aphasia(失语症). A study conducted in Massachusetts, U.S., has clearly proved that aphasics make good lie detectors(测谎仪).In the last 100 years, many doctors studying the brain have mentioned examples of this amazing power of patients suffering from aphasia. Recently, scientists conducted tests to see if all that was said about aphasics was true. They studied the powers of a mixed group of people. Some were normal; others were aphasic. And it was proved clearly that the normal volunteers still got fooled by words. The aphasics were far ahead of them in recognizing false speech. The results of the study were reported in the magazine Nature.Fourteen years ago, famous American doctor, Dr. Oliver Sacks, wrote about his experiences with aphasic patients in a book. He remembered a particular incident in a hospital. Patients from the aphasia room were watching TV. Their president, Ronald Reagan, was giving a speech. He was trying to put feelings into each and every word of his speech. But his speech had an opposite effect on the patients. They were not impressed. On the contrary, the whole room shook with their laughter. The aphasics knew that he did not mean a word of what he was saying.Dr. Sacks saw aphasics as more gifted than normal people.Normalpeople“get carried away”by words. An aphasic cannot understand words. But he or she can still understand what is being said. He said most of the aphasics had this superior understanding. So, while normal people think of aphasic patients as brain damaged, they actually seem to understand human expressions better.28. We can know from the first paragraph _.A. how aphasics get their special abilityB. that aphasics can tell if you are lyingC. that aphasics are good at telling liesD. why aphasics are experts at spotting liars29. The phrase“get carried away”in the last paragraph means _.A. get fooledB. get excitedC. get misunderstoodD. get discouraged30. Dr. Oliver Sacks thinks that aphasics _.A. are unluckyB. can not understand othersC. are specially gifted in a wayD. should be treated in a special way31. Which would be the best title of the passage?A. A great discoveryB. The great lie detectorsC. Why aphasics cant talkD. A special way of understandingDThey should be Britains gilded (镀金的) youth, enjoying opportunities to study, travel and start exciting careers in a way older generations could only dream about. But instead they are the “Ipod” generation “Insecure, Pressured, Over-taxed and Debt-ridden”according to a study by a group of experts who provide advice and ideas on social issues.“We thought that each generation would be better off than its predecessors (前辈),” said Professor Nick Bosanquet of Imperial College London, one of its authors. “But young people today have more duties and it is much more difficult for them to raise their ines and create wealth. This really is a very big issue for the country.”According to the report, todays youth dont have enough confidence and ability to build on the economic foundations created by post-war baby boomers (生育高峰期出生的人) . Because they are in debt, they are alsoreluctantto take risks. Levels of entrepreneurship (企业家精神) among Britains youth are lower than in America, Australia, New Zealand and Ireland and have fallen over the past decade. Many choose the jobs which offer a good amount of money after they retire. Others have to take any job that is available to try to pay off their debts.“I borrowed a lot of money from the bank to pay for my education at university, which is the biggest chain around my neck now,” said Phil Grech, 22, fromCumbria, who has a degree in maths from theUniversityofReading. “Im only doing a temporary job at the moment to pay the mounting bills. I havent really thought about the long term. Many people think that when you leave university you can get a good job, but its no longer like that.”While older generations enjoyed higher education funded by taxpayers, young people today face university tuition fees and a decreasing “return” in the salary advantage they will get from their degrees.32. What is the text mainly about?A. Britains gilded youth.B. The “Ipod” generation inBritain.C. The challenges faced by the British today.D. The career choicesBritains youth have.33. Whats the biggest problem in Phil Grechs life?A. Low ine.B. The debt.C. Not having a good college degree.D. Not having job opportunities.34. We can infer from the text that the “Ipod” generation_.A. doesnt have much determinationB. doesnt want to have a full-time jobC. lives a harder life than the older generationsD. hasnt realized the importance of saving money35. Which of the following words can best take the place of the word “reluctant” in the third paragraph?A. Unwilling.B. Foolish.C. Quick.D. Sorry.第二节：(共5小题；每小题2分,满分10分）根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How do you stay true to yourself when youre surrounded by friends and/or family that have an opinion on everything you do?
