21、As a society we might want to rethink the time and money spent on education，so that these resources can benefit a greater percentage of the population．Ideally，both high schools and colleges can prepare individuals for the ever-changing roles．
High school degrees offer far less in the way of preparation for work than they might，or than many other nations currently offer，creating a growing skills gap in our economy．We encourage students to go on to college whether they are prepared or not，or have a clear sense of purpose or interest，and now have the highest college dropout rate in the world．
We might look to other countries for models of how high schools can offer better training，as well as the development of a work ethic(美德)and the intellectual skills needed for continued learning and development．
Meanwhile，the liberal arts(人文学科)become more important than ever．In a knowledge economy where professional roles change rapidly and many college students are preparing for positions that may not even exist yet，the skill needed is one that prepares them for change and continued learning．
Learning to express ideas well in both writing and speech，knowing how to find information，and knowing how to do research are all solid background skills for a wide variety of roles，and such training is more important than any particular major in a liberal arts college．We need to continue to value broad preparation in thinking skills that will serve for a lifetime．
Students also need to learn to work independently and to make responsible decisions．The lengthening path to adulthood appears exacerbated（恶化）by parental involvement in the college years．Given the rising investment in college education，parental concern is not surprising，but learning where and when to intervene will help students take more ownership of the outcomes of these increasingly costly educations．
【1】What kind of education does the author think is ideal？
A．It benefits the great majority of the general population．
B．It prepares students to meet the future needs of society．
C．It encourages students to learn throughout their lives．
D．It ensures that students’ expectations are successfully fulfilled．
【2】What is the feature of a knowledge economy?
A．People have to receive higher education to qualify for a professional position．
B．Students majoring in liberal arts usually have difficulty seeking a job．
C．New positions are constantly created that require people to keep learning．
D．Colleges find it hard to teach students how to cope with the changing economy．
【3】According to the author，a liberal arts college should focus on________？
A．solid background knowledge in a particular field
B．practical skills urgently needed in current society
C．basic skills needed for change and lifelong learning
D．useful thinking skills for advanced academic research
【4】What suggestion does the author offer to parents？
A．Rethinking the value of higher education．
B．Investing wisely in their children’s education．
C．Helping their children to bring their talent into full play．
D．Avoiding too much intervention in their children’s education．
22、 I was ten when my father first sent me flowers. I had been taking ballet lessons for four months, and the school was giving its yearly performance. As a member of the beginners’ chorus group, I was surprised to hear my name called out at the end of the show along with the leading dancers and to find my arms full of red roses. I can still feel myself standing on that stage, seeing my father’s big smiles.
Those roses were the first of many bunches accompanying all the milestones in my life. Getting all those roses was wonderful, but they brought a sense of embarrassment. I enjoyed them, but I also felt they were too much for my small achievements.
Not for my father. He did everything in a big way. Once, when mother told him I needed a new party dress, he brought home a dozen. His behavior often left us without money for other more important things. Sometimes I would be angry with him.
Then came my 16th birthday. It was not a happy occasion. I was fat and had no boyfriend. And my well-meaning father furthered my suffering by giving me a party. As I entered the dining room, there on the table next to my cake was a huge bunch of flowers, bigger than any before.
I wanted to hide. Now everyone would think my father had sent flowers because I had no boyfriend to do it. Sweet 16, and I felt like crying. But my best friend, Jenny, whispered, “Boy, you’re lucky to have a father like that.”
As the years passed, other occasions—birthdays, awards, graduations—were marked with Dad’s flowers. Those flowers symbolized his pride, and my success. As my fortunes grew, my father’s health became worse, but his gifts of flowers continued until he died. I covered his coffin with the largest, reddest roses I could find.
Often during the dozen years since, I felt an urge to buy a big bunch to fill the living room, but I never did. I knew it would not be the same.
Then one birthday, the doorbell rang. I was feeling blue because I was alone. My husband and my two daughters were away. My 10-year-old son, Tommy, had run out earlier with a “see you later”. So I was surprised to see Tommy at the door. “Forgot my key,” he said. “Forgot your birthday too.” He pulled a bunch of roses from behind his back.
“Oh, Tommy,” I cried. “I love flowers!”
【1】The writer felt embarrassed getting her first roses because .
A.she wasn’t a member of leading dancers.
B.she thought her success wasn’t big enough.
C.she regarded the flowers as a milestone in her life.
D.she found herself standing on the center of the stage.
【2】Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A.The father made the writer happy by giving her a party.
B.The father was proud of the writer in her growth stages.
C.The father didn’t leave the family money for important things.
D.The father bought the writer flowers when she got angry with him.
【3】Tommy came back again, mainly to .
A.take back his keys. B.show his love for flowers.
C.encourage his mother. D.bring his mother birthday gift.
【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.Love in Bloom. B.Father and Me.
C.Pleasure and Embarrassment. D.Father’s Flowers.
23、Babies teach their older brothers and sisters empathy（移情）, according to a new research. Empathy means understanding and entering others’ feelings. Until now, younger kids have generally been regarded to learn plenty from their older brothers or sisters but don’t give back much. But this study, published in Child Development confirms that younger siblings（兄弟姐妹）ensure their big brothers and sisters don’t grow into disgusting people—no easy task.
“Although it’s assumed that older siblings and parents are the primary socializing influences on younger siblings’ development but not vice versa, we found that both younger and older siblings positively contributed to each other’s empathy over time,” study co-author Marc Jambon said in a statement. Prior sibling studies have focused on the influence of older brothers and sisters, probably because their impact is most obvious. As one review of literature notes, studies have shown that older siblings influence everything from their younger siblings’ motor development to their risk of smoking later in life. And although separated studies have tried to pin down effects that younger siblings have on their older siblings, the influence of baby brothers and sisters remains unclear.
For this new study, Jambon and his colleagues recruited（招募）a diverse group of 452 Canadian sibling pairs between the ages of 18 months and four years. At the start of the study, individual researchers assessed children’s baseline empathy levels by visiting the kids at home and then pretending to hurt themselves or break a valuable item. Eighteen months later, they found small but significant increases in empathy.
One unexpected exception—older sisters did not appear to experience increased empathy after 18 months living with their little brothers, specifically. The researchers aren’t sure why this exception appeared, and they recommend that future studies dive into more complex phenomena.
【1】What has been found in the new research?
A. Young kids could show more sympathy on others.
B. Young siblings know more about empathy than the older.
C. Younger siblings could contribute to their older ones’ empathy.
D. Younger kids can learn a lot from their older brothers or sisters.
【2】What does Marc Jambon say about kids’ empathy development?
A. Siblings influence each other in a positive way.
B. Parents play a more important role than teachers.
C. Older siblings have far more obvious influences.
D. Younger siblings make much smaller contribution.
【3】What does the underlined words “pin down” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Assess. B. Limit.
C. Confirm. D. Reduce.
【4】What can we infer about the research from the last paragraph?
A. It offers no exceptions. B. It appears to be under control.
C. It is recognized to be scientific. D. It needs to be carried out further.
24、When I was worried my son was coming down with a little something, I remarked that his eating was slowing down a bit.
“I’ve noticed how fast you eat,” my wife’s Auntie Carmel said. I looked down at my plate — the plate from which my food had just been emptied — and looked up at her stare. “I’m not being critical,” she assured me, “and I find it fascinating.” She said “fascinating” in the way a polite member of the FBI might describe your recent Internet searches.
“You do eat pretty fast,” whispered my wife by the time I’d placed my knives and forks down. Her mother shared the same view shortly after that, and soon the entire table were unanimous in this opinion.
We were at my wife’s parents’ home in Dublin because Auntie Carmel was visiting from New York, and it was a good chance for her to meet our son, who immediately adored her. We all adore Auntie Carmel for her ability to speak her mind in a way that never seems rude.
In fairness to Carmel, I do eat quickly. I’m fond of saying it’s because I come from a large family. I now realize this makes no sense. There is also the fact that my wife’s mum and Auntie Carmel themselves both come from a family of 12. The same is true for her dad. Yet somehow, none of them eat as if their legs were on fire.
It’s a habit I picked up along the way, and I might have been permanently blind to it without this intervention. Left unexamined, it might have coloured my parenting, demanding my speed as a default (默认) for my son, for I remarked that his eating was slowing down a bit. For now, at least, he can clear his plate as slowly as he likes.
【1】How does Auntie Carmel feel about the author’s eating habit?
A．Interesting.
B．Satisfactory.
C．Disturbing.
D．Puzzling.
【2】What does the underlined word “unanimous” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A．At a loss.
B．In agreement.
C．In embarrassment.
D．Under consideration.
【3】What do we know about Auntie Carmel?
A．She likes little children.
B．She tends to criticize others.
C．She is skilled at expressing herself.
D．She is particular about table manners.
【4】What can be learned from Paragraph 5?
A．Children’s eating habits are not easy to change.
B．The author often has excuses for his behaviors.
C．The family size isn’t related to one’s eating speed.
D．Children in small families don’t need to eat quickly.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Here’s the story of my growth over the past year. It’s a story of how I found the strength to change myself for better and then how I get rid of my fears to be even better. If anyone is inspired by this, that’s wonderful.
I’d been stuck as this incredibly insecure, under-confident and just scared individual for years and years. Since childhood I’d been stuck like this. Kids I met for the first time looked at me rudely and unkindly. Even my friends—actually, I had very few friends because I just felt too ashamed and frightened to make some, though I was eager to and felt extremely lonely in the depth of my heart—laughed at me and gave me bad nicknames. I felt terrible, but I’d just resigned to a life where I’d be afraid of everything and be this “introvert” (内向的人) or whatever. I thought I would never be able to change, never, for my whole life.
But then it all started changing. Something clicked. I suddenly determined to go on a diet, and lost some weight. It was tough. I felt hungry all the time. I was always tempted by the smell of bread and hamburger, even when I didn’t see them. But the toughest thing was that even if I had just had my meals, I felt hunger mentally. However, I held on. In over a period of 6 months I finally managed to stick to one of my diets. I didn’t know how. But I did make it.
The loss of 90 lbs brought me from overweight straight down to underweight. This isn’t the best part. More importantly and inspiringly, I suddenly found strength in me. I realized I could be totally different. And maybe, I could even be whatever I wanted to be. This taught me that I could change myself.
Then I wondered, perhaps, I could also get rid of those of my fears, just like I succeeded in losing my extra pounds. It might not be easy, but it might not be that difficult.
