There are about 88,000 public schools all over the US. Some students attend about 3000 independent public schools called charter schools.Charter schools are self-governing. Private companies operate some charter schools. They are similar in some ways to traditional public schools. They receive tax money just as other public schools do. Charter schools must prove to local or state governments that their students are learning. These governments provide the schools with the agreement called a charter that permits them to operate.Charter schools are different because they do not have to obey most laws governing traditional public schools. Local, state or federal governments cannot tell them what to teach. Each school can choose its own goals and decide the ways it wants to reach them. Class size is usually smaller than in traditional public schools.The Bush Administration strongly supports charter schools as a way to re-organize public schools that are failing to educate students. But some education agencies and unions oppose charter schools. One teachers union has just made public the results of the first national study comparing the progress of students in traditional schools and charter schools.The American Federation of Teachers criticized the governments delay in releasing the results of the study, which is called the National Assessment of Educational Progress. Union education experts say the study shows that charter school students performed worse on math and reading tests than students in regular public schools.Some experts say the study is not a fair look at charter schools because students in those schools have more problems than students in traditional schools. Other education experts say the study results should make charter school officials demand improved student progress.36If a private company wants to operate a charter school, it must .Atry new methods of teaching R175Bprove its management abilityCobey the local and state lawsDget the governments permission37Charter schools are independent because .Athey make greater progressBtheir class size is smallerCthey enjoy more freedomDthey oppose traditional ways38Whats the governments attitude toward charter schools?A.

DOptimistic.39What can we learn from the text?AMore students choose to attend charter schools.BCharter schools are better than traditional schools.CStudents in charter schools are well educated.DPeople have different opinions about charter schools.40It can be inferred from the text that .Acharter schools are part of the education systemBone-on-one attention should be paid to studentsCthe number of charter schools will be limitedDcharter schools are all privately financedB One hot night last July, when our new baby wouldnt or couldnt sleep, I tried everything I could think of : a warm bottle, songs gentle rocking. Nothing would settle him. Guessing that I had a long night ahead of me, I brought a portable TV into his room, figuring that watching the late movie was as good a way as any to kill of the hours till dawn. To my surprise, as soon as the TV lit up, the baby quieted right down, his little eyes focused brightly on the tube. Not to waste an opportunity for sleep, I then tiptoes out of the room, leaving him to watch the actors celebrate John Bellushis forty-fifth birthday. My wife and I heard none of the baby that night, and the next morning when I went into his room, I found him still watching TV himself. I found in my babys behavior a symbol of the new generation. My wife and I had given him some books to examine, but he merely spit upon them. When we read to him, he did not feel comfortable. And so it is in the schools. We find that our students dont read and they look down upon reading and scold those of us who teach it. All they want to do is watch TV. After this experience with the baby, however, I have reached a conclusion: “Let them watch it!” If television is that much more attractive to children than books, why should we fight about it? Let them watch it all they want! 41Why did the author bring a TV set into his sons room? ATo make his son keep quiet. BTo spend the night by watching TV programs. CIn order not to let his son feel lonely.DTo make his son go to sleep as soon as possible. 42The babys reaction to the TV program was _ . Aunexpected BencouragingCexciting Dnervous 43From this passage we know that the author is . Aa doctorBa reporterCan editorDa teacher44According to the passage, which is true of the school children? AThey prefer reading to watching TV. BThey like watching TV after school. CThey would rather watch TV than read books. DThey like their teachers who teach them reading. 45What does the underlined phrase in the last paragraph mean according to the passage?Atalk aboutBthink aboutCquarrel aboutDcare aboutC It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel. It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the drivers seat is another matter.Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the most cool-headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude drivingOn the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fightingA friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and calm so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such behaviors of politeness are by no means enoughMany drivers nowadays dont even seem able to recognize politeness when they see itHowever, misplaced politeness can also be dangerousTypical examples are the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may be not able to stop in timeThe same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to.An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings. Unfortunately, modern drivers cant even learn to drive, let alone master the roadmanship. Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take from all road usersIt is high time for all of us to take this message to heart46The passage mainly talks about .Aroad politenessBtraffic jams Cgood mannersDmodern drivers47Troubles on the road are often caused by .Atraffic jamsBthe behavior of the driversCgreat speedDterrible road conditions48According to the writer, a good driver should .Abeat back when forced to face rude drivingBbe able to recognize politeness when he sees itCencourage old ladies to cross the roads whenever they want toDjoin in traffic stream quickly however other people feel49The following statements are right EXCEPT that .Asome modern drivers are not good at drivingBroad politeness is good sense as well as good mannersCit is also right to have a tiger in the drivers seatDa friendly driver should nod or wave thanks in answer to an act of politeness50It is not always right for drivers to .Amaster roadmanshipBrecognize politeness when they see itCwave a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the pathDgive a friendly nod in answer to an act of politenessDIt may be one of Britains most successful exports Miss World. This 53-year-old event took place in China last week and attracted over 120 women worldwide with knockout looks in a mad struggle for the crown.Traditional values have long kept the Chinese, especially women, from displaying beauty. But Chinese people have now changed their attitude toward beauty contest, although some men will still be shouting that the winner is no more beautiful than his wife or his former girl friend or even his mother in a sour tone. But such men are not shouting for the right reason. The question to be: Why isnt there a Mr. World Beauty Contest?And a further question to be asked is: Does taking part in a beauty contest show a womans courage, wisdom and liberation or rather the opposite a forced choice and a revolting act made under conditions of long-term discrimination?Organizers of such beauty contests claim that the contestants are judged on qualities other than just their physical appearance. But still no answer is given to why there isnt a Mr. Beauty or a Mr. World Contest? Or at least, why isnt that kind of contest popular? Why is it that only womens “qualities” need to be recognized but not mens?Think about who is always standing beside a fancy car on show? Is it a boy or a girl? And this is how “qualities” are judged: if the girl l
