During the 1880s, upper-class and society women (26) _ (change) into long gowns(礼服), gloves and hats for their afternoon tea. Traditional afternoon tea, (27) _ is typically served between 4p.m. and 6 p.m., is technically a small meal, not a drink. It consists of a selection of dainty sandwiches, freshly baked scones(松饼).

I decided to help students write in more detail about what they were thinking when they solved their problems or when they wrote about their ideas. I chose a mon, everyday task that all of us 38 in: choosing what to wear. When I asked them how they decided what they wore that day, there was a(n) 39 moment of silence. It seemed a 40 silly question. A few just said “they wore what they wore.” This was a perfect beginning as it was the same kind of response they were giving as to how they were getting their math answers. I told them how I decided what I wore that day.First I checked the weather in the paper and by looking outside. I had to decide between wearing a dress or skirt since either one could make a difference in the 41 I wish to give. Most of the girls related to this one. I had to be sure what I wanted to wear was clean and ironed. They 42 no one ironed clothes any more. I had to check to see if I had shoes that went with the possible outfit. I thought about what I had worn 43 as I usually dont wear the same clothes in the same week. I thought about the color I felt like wearing. I thought about the 44 I would be doing that day both at school and after school. Each new consideration brought out ments from the students. I could expand on each or just mention it and go on, 45 on how long I wanted the lesson to go. After this discussion, it was clear to students that their thinking process is richer than they first suspected. It was a good lesson for showing details of the thinking process of which we werent 46 .III. Reading prehension (22%)Section A (10%)Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fit the context.The United States is well-known for its network of major highways designed to help a driver get from one place to another in the shortest possible time. Although these wide modern roads are generally _47_ and well maintained, with _48_ sharp curves and many straight sections, a direct route is not always the most enjoyable one. Large highways often pass _49_ scenic areas and interesting small towns. Furthermore, these highways generally _50_ large urban centers, which means that they bees crowded with _51_ traffic during rush hours and the “fast, direct” way bees a very slow route.However, there is almost always another route to take if you are not in a hurry. Not far from the relatively new “superhighways”, there are often older, _52_ heavily travelled roads which go through the countryside. Or of these are good two-lane roads; others are uneven roads curving through the country. These secondary routes may go up steep slopes, along high _53_ or down frightening hillsides to towns _54_ in deep valleys. Through these less direct routes, longer and slower, they generally go to places _55_ the air is clean and the scenery is beautiful, the driver may have a chance to get a fresh, clean _56_ of the world.( )47.

A. viewB. varietyC. visitD. virtueSection B Directions: Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)During the school year many parents take on the role of driver as they drive their children from one lesson to another. Understandably so. Many of us want our children to have a little taste of everything, from organized sports to music, dance and more. But we can overdo it, leaving our children feeling a little burnt out, and according to parent educator Diane Loisie, its their school work which suffers the most. “After school, if they are busy in a number of sporting events, besides, they need to do their homework, then the time they will feel sleepy is in the classroom. Your child needs free time. So if you are filling up that after school time, then it is during the day they are going to be having a break.” Professor Claire McDermott agrees that there is a lot to be gained from sometimes putting those scheduled lessons and activities away. “Relaxing time is important for children. Its time just to do the things they want to do. A child can go up to their room, or they can play around. It doesnt look like productive time; parents certainly wouldnt be saying “Wow, are they ever leaning things now?” But this relaxing time gives both the body and the brain just a wonderful chance to relax after a day. It helps a child prepare for sleep, but it also helps to understand the learning thats gone on that day.”Its hard to prevent signing our kids up for some activities and lessons. After all, many of us want our children to have a head start in life and the chance to join in the great activities in the arts or sports is a part of that. However, Loisie feels that in the long run most children feel better with just a few key activities because it gives them an opportunity to master them. “ When we get our children in too many activities because we want our children to experience everything, then what were doing is setting them up not be good at one thing or gaining a skill”. So choose your childrens activities wisely. It may be one of the best things youve ever done for your kidsand for the family drivers!( ) 57. What is the biggest disadvantage for children to attend too many lessons after school?A. They can get bored easily about everything.B. They might have no time to do the homework.C. They might not pay much attention to learning.D. They cannot easily focus on learning during the day.( ) 58. What should we think of childrens playing around aimlessly?A. It is productiveB. It is helpfulC. It is a bad habit.D. It is a waste of time( ) 59.Why should parents limit the activities our children attend?A. Because children have no time.B. Because children cannot learn many thingsC. Because children do not have enough sleep.D. Because children cannot focus on too many activities.( ) 60. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Dont be childrens driver after school B. Choose activities for your children wisely.C. Make your children learn as much as possibleD. Let children learn something from various subjects.(B)Beginning college is exciting: new ideas to explore, new challenges to be met and many decisions to be made; your future begins here.However, you will find college life is different from your previous school environment. Many of us can be easily overwhelmed by the details of running a well-balanced life. While some of us may have the know-how, I guess there are more of us who can benefit from learning about the experiences of others who have walked the college halls before you.The following you may find of use about life on campus:Plan well. There are so many new things to do at a new college or university. Give yourself time to make new friends and bee familiar with the campus, but dont forget why you are there. Give some time for social activities and manage your time wisely.If you dont have a “system” for planning your time now (like a day timer, a puter data book), get one. Most of all, dont depend on your memory.Dont miss the guidelines. The restrictions, rules and regulations of all kinds can usually be found in your students handbook. Consider them well-balanced food for thought. What dates are important? What pieces of paper need to be handed in? What can/cannot you do in your student residence? Who do you need to plete to graduate?Write the word “STUDY” on the walls of the bedroom and bathroom, and maybe it will help to write it on a piece of paper and stick it on the telephone, TV and the kitchen table. Consider this - you are paying thousands of dollars for your course. You pay every time you have to repeat or replace a course. Build your identity. This is the time for you to decide what to do and what not to do. Take as much time as you need to explore new ideas. Do not be afraid of the beyond. This is learning to make good choices.( ) 61. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To offer advice on college lifeB. To explain why college life is exciting.C. To describe the importance of college life.D. To persuade you to go to college.( ) 62. According to the passage, why is it exciting to begin college life?A. Because you will have more freedom at college.B. Because you will no longer be afraid of the beyond.C. Because you prepare for your future career and life there.D. Because the professors will provide you with a lot of new ideas.( ) 63. The underlined word “know-how” refers to _.A. An understanding of how things are going at collegeB. Practical knowledge about how to behave and what to do at collegeC. College halls where rules and regulations are presentedD. An environment pletely different from the one you are used to( ) 64. According to the passage, college students _.A. neednt learn from those who went to college before themB. spends as much time as possible on social activitiesC. should know what they have fight for on campusD. are supposed to repeat or replace at least one course (C)Global Positioning Systems are now a part of everyday driving in many countries. These satellite-based systems provide turn-by-turn directions to help people get to where they want to go. But, they can also cause a lot of problems, send you to the wrong place or leave you pletely lost. Many times, the driver is to blame. Sometimes a GPS error is responsible. Most often, says Barry Brown, it is a bination of the two.We spoke to Mr. Brown by Skype. He told us about an incident involving a friend who had flown to an airport in the eastern United States. There he borrowed a GPS-equipped car to use during his stay. Barry Brown: “ And they just plugged in an address and then set off to their destination. And, then it wasnt until they were driving for thirty minutes that they realized they actually put in a destination back on the West Coast where they lived. They actually put their home address in. So again, the GPS is kind of garbage in garbage out.”Mr. Brown says this is a mon human error. But, he says, what makes the problem worse has something to do with some of the shortings, or failures, of GPS equipment. Barry Brown: “One problem with a lot of the GPS units is that they have a very small screen and they just tell you the next turn. Because they just give you the next turn, sometimes that means that it is not really giving you the overview that you would need to know that it is going to the wrong place.”Barry Brown formerly served as a professor with the University of California, San Diego. While there, he worked on a project with Eric Laurier from the University of Edinburgh. The two men studied the effects of GPS devices on Driving by placing cameras in peoples cars. They wrote a paper based on their research. It is called “The Normal, Natural Troubles of Driving with GPS.” It lists several areas where GPS systems can cause confusion for drivers. These include maps that are outdated, incorrect or difficult to understand. They also include timing issues related to when GPS mands are given.Barry Brown says to make GPS systems better, we need a better understanding of how drivers, passengers and GPS systems work together.( )65. In Para. 2, Mr. Brown mentioned his friend in the conversation to _. A. laugh at his stupid friendB. describe an example of human error C. build up his own reputationD. prove the GPS system is only garbage( )66. Which of the following statement would Barry Brown be most likely to agree with? A. GPS units are to blame for the most GPS service failure. B. We should introduce higher standard for the driving license C. Cameras are urgently needed to help improve GPS systems. D. Some sh- 配套讲稿:
