Basically the governments Scholarships for Moms program is a comprehensive attempt to get mothers who are keen on study back into the classroom.With the Obama scholarship,the worry of returning to school is removed.In almost any area of interest,working moms can earn a degree.This means they can be fully equipped to provide for their families.Higher education no longer has to be an unfulfilled wish or an unobtainable goal.The Scholarships for Moms program was designed to help create a brighter future for mothers and their children.【解题导语】 本文是一篇新闻报道。美国总统奥巴马为了鼓励妈妈们接受深造,对妈妈奖学金作出了改进,这些激励措施包括提高奖学金额度,扩大就读的学校范围和拓宽学习方式等,其目的是扩大妈妈们的生存空间和提高其养家糊口的能力。16From the first paragraph we can know that _.Apeople of all ages go to college in AmericaBObama values moms education very muchCmoms should try to support their familiesDmany mothers refuse to go to school now答案B推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Obama is particularly targeting working moms with his Scholarships for Moms program”等信息可以推知,奥巴马总统重视对妈妈们的教育。17More money is offered by the Scholarships for Moms program in order to _.Ahelp mothers to make a livingBinspire people to learn from othersCpersuade more students to work harderDencourage moms to go back to school答案D细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“To encourage more mothers to return to school,the Obama administration is now making some changes.”及第二段中的“the biggest incentive is the amount of money being offered”可知,设置妈妈奖学金的目的是鼓励妈妈们重返校园进行深造。18The underlined phrase “equipping mothers”(in Paragraph 2)probably refers to mothers who _.Ahave a degree Bare dressed wellCstay at home Down much money答案A词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“The aim of these grants is to allow working moms to return to school and earn a degree.”可知,此处指拥有学历的妈妈。19Many moms probably appreciate the program because _.Athey can make more money at schoolBthe university lasts as long as four yearsCthere are more chances for them to chooseDthey like the atmosphere in the classroom答案C推理判断题。根据第三段中的“a great incentive for moms considering this program is that it applies to enrollment in nearly any type of higher education institution”可以推知,妈妈们有更多的学习深造的机会和方式。20Who will benefit from the Obama scholarship most?ATeachers and their students.BWorking moms and their children.CAll the schools and families.DFathers and mothers in America.答案B细节理解题。结合文章最后一段中的“The Scholarships for Moms program was designed to help create a brighter future for mothers and their children.”可知,妈妈和孩子是这项奖学金计划的最大受益者。.写作(满分30分)假设你叫李华,是校报通讯员。上周三你班召开一次班会,会上重点讨论“老人摔倒要不要扶起”这一话题,原因是近几年发生过多起因扶起摔倒老人而引火烧身的官司。你班同学对此进行了激烈的辩论,请你结合辩论情况,用英语为校报写一篇报道,并发表自己的看法。注意:1.词数120150; 2可适当发挥,以使行文连贯。_【参考范文】A class meeting was held in our class last Wednesday.At the meeting we classmates had a heated debate on “whether we should help the old people up when they fall over.”Some classmates think we have responsibility to help them,because we Chinese have fine traditions to help people in trouble.Others have quite different opinions.They think we should leave a distance off and help to call 120,because in recent years many lawsuits have happened due to helping old people.The helpers had to pay the injurer a lot of money.In my opinion,when we help the old people,we should depend on specific situation.When the old people is in great danger and badly needs help,we should give an immediate first aid and help to send him or her to the nearest hospital.When the old man is slightly injured,wed better help to call the police.7
