21、About PISA
The Program for International Student Assessment（PISA）is a triennial（每三年一次的）international survey which aims to evaluate education systems worldwide by testing the skills and knowledge of 15-year-old students.To date，students representing more than 70 economies have participated in the assessment.
What makes PISA different
PISA is unique because it develops tests which are not directly linked to the school curriculum.The tests are designed to assess to what extent students at the end of compulsory education can apply their knowledge to real life situations and be equipped for full participation in society.The information collected through background questionnaires also provides context which can help analysts interpret the results.
What the assessment involves
Since the year 2000，every three years，fifteen-year-old students from randomly selected schools worldwide take tests in the key subjects：reading.mathematics and sciences with a focus on one subject in each year of assessment.The students take a test that lasts 2 hours.The tests are a mixture of open-ended and multiple-choice questions that are organized in groups based on a passage setting out a real-life situation. A total of about 390 minutes of test items are covered. Students take different combinations of different tests.
Additional PISA initiatives
PlSA-based Test for Schools（PTS）
As interest in PISA has grown，School and local educators have been wanting to know how their individual schools compare with students and schools in education systems worldwide. To address this need，the OECD（The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development）has developed the PISA-based test for schools.It is currently available in the United States and the OECD is in discussions with governments to make the test available in other countries such as England and Spain.

22、The United States government is back in business. Early Thursday morning, President Barack Obama signed a bill to reopen the government. The budget bill, drafted by Senate late on Wednesday night, raised the government’s debt ceiling and averted(避免)a serious economic crisis. “With the shutdown behind us,” Obama said after the Senate vote, “we now have an opportunity to focus on a sensible budget that is responsible, that is fair and that helps hardworking people all across this country.”
Now that a settlement has been reached, formerly furloughed(休假)employees have returned to work, national museums and parks are reopening, and the government’s gears are slowly beginning to turn again.
Before the shutdown, a federal funding bill went back and forth between the Senate and the House. A major issue was whether or not the government would pay for changes in Obama’s healthcare plan. The Senate, with a Democratic majority, wanted to pass a budget that would fund the new healthcare law. But the House, which has a Republican majority, did not want government money used that way. Because an agreement could not be reached on a budget plan, the government was forced to partially shut down.
Sixteen days later, the two sides have come together to pass a measure that raised the country’s debt ceiling. The debt ceiling is the strict legal limit Congress places on the amount of money that can be borrowed each year. Had this agreement not been met by October 17, the U.S. may not have been able to pay its promised payments. This legislation, or law, will fund the government through January 15. During this time, Obama and Congress will work on a long-term spending plan.
The effects of the two-week government shutdown were widespread. In addition to national parks, museums, memorials and monuments were off-limits to visitors. Workers at government-run organizations like NASA and the Environmental Protection Agency were furloughed. Part of the new legislation will pay back the 800,000 workers who were without pay during the shutdown.
Early Thursday, the Smithsonian Institution celebrated the government’s reopening on Twitter. “We’re back from the shutdown!” they wrote, announcing that museums would reopen Thursday and the National Zoo in Washington on Friday.
To the delight of many people, that also means the return of the zoo’s popular live Panda camera.
【1】What may have lead to the government shutdown?
A. Economic crisis.
B. The senate voting.
C. Dispute on the budget bill.
D. Lazy people across the country.
【2】What does the underlined phrase “two sides” in paragraph four refers to?
A. The senate and the house.
B. The senate and the president.
C. The president and the congress.
D. The legislator and the government.
【3】What can we learn about the U.S. Government from the shutdown?
A. It is run by lazy workers.
B. It is affected by different political forces.
C. The people has no say in the decision making process.
D. Obama decides whether his health care bill will be passed or not.
【4】In mentioning the live Panda camera, the author suggests that ______.
A. zoos were government-run
B. pandas were popular among the public
C. the effects of the shutdown were widespread
D. tourists were affected the most by the shutdown
23、It was a weeknight. We were a half dozen guys in our late teens, hanging around “the flat” — as usual. The flat was poorly furnished, which, after some time, grew tiresome. We wanted action.
We got in a car, big enough for all of us to crowd into — and off we went, in search of adventure. We soon found ourselves at Blue Gum Corner, a place named after the huge old blue gum tree that stood by there, a well-known local landmark. It stands at a minor crossroad leading to our town. The trunk is tall and smooth with no handholds for climbing. About six metres from the ground the first branch sticks out over the road. We parked beneath the huge old tree and discussed what we might do. All of a sudden we hit upon an idea — a hanging! I was chosen as “hangee”.
The plan was quite simple. As I stood upon the roof of the car, the rope (绳子) was threaded down my jacket through my collar and down one leg of my jeans. I put my foot through the loop at the bottom. There I hung, still. The boys rolled about laughing until, a car, I hear a car! Before they ran to hide in the nearby field, they gave me a good push so that “the body” would swing as the car drove by.
To our disappointment, the car simply turned off for town without even slowing. The boys came out of their hiding places and we discussed the situation. Surely they had seen me, hadn’t they? Then we heard another car. The act was repeated, but still without any obvious reaction. We played the game about five or six times, but as no one seemed to notice, we abandoned the trick.
What we did not know was that every car that had passed had unquestionably seen “the body” and each one, too scared to stop, had driven directly to the local Police Station. Now at that time of the night, the local policeman was sound asleep in his bed, so the first person sent to the scene was the traffic officer that happened to be on duty that particular night. He had been informed that some person had been killed, by hanging, at Blue Gum Corner. When he arrived, the body was gone! And he was hearing “unnatural sounds” from the surrounding area. As far as he knew, some fierce animal was hiding in the field before him, possibly dragging a body behind him — and we thought we were scared!
He went to his radio and made a call that really began to worry us. I lay so close that I could hear every word. He called for the “armed police” and a “dog team, better make it two” and he had a “serious situation” at Blue Gum Corner. Then the police officer arrived. After a briefing from the traffic officer he decided not to go into the field until armed police and dog teams arrived. Now two spotlights were on the field and none of us could move.
As luck would have it, police cars cannot leave their spotlights on all night without charging their batteries. So, after a time, the two officers began lightening the field by turns, allowing us the opportunity to move on our fours for freedom. One by one, we all managed to steal away and make our way home. Behind us we left what must have looked like a small city of lights, police cars, roadblocks, barking dogs, armed officers and an old rope hanging from a tree.
When I think back to that night, to that tree, to what the drivers of the cars think happened, to what police believe happened, and to what I know happened, I am reminded of a simple truth — our eyes see darkness and light, color and movement, our ears hear only vibrations (振动) in the air. It is how we explain these vivid pictures that shapes our “reality”.
【1】The boys made the “hanging” plan in order to ______.
A. make a fool of the police
B. draw public attention
C. seek fun and excitement
D. practise acting skills
【2】Seeing that no car passing by stopped, the boys must have felt ______.
A. discouraged B. proud
C. annoyed D. confident
【3】Why was the traffic officer sent to the scene of “hanging”?
A. Because a fierce animal kept the traffic in disorder.
B. Because the local policeman was not available at that time.
C. Because some naughty kids were playing a terrifying game.
D. Because many scared drivers turned directly to him for help.
【4】The boys managed to escape from the field when ______.
A. the two police cars were being charged
B. the police officer was taking over the duty
C. the traffic officer was making a call for help
D. the two spotlights were not working together
【5】What is conveyed in the passage?
A. Actions speak louder than words.
B. The truth lies beneath the surface.
C. Experience is the best teacher.
D. To see is to believe.
【6】What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Blue Gum Tree B. A Body Found Hanging
C. Escape to Freedom D. A Disappointing Experience
24、Whether you want to impress a new teacher, or just chat with a new acquaintance, knowing how to start a conversation can help you feel more comfortable and confident.
【1】. To take an example, when you go into a room full of strangers, most people there are just like you in their hopes and fears. So when you approach someone to start a conversation, you’re helping him, because he wants someone to talk to as much as you do. 【2】, you can acknowledge and accept them, which will be to your advantage.
No matter what the situation is, you can find something positive to say. Comment on the weather, the food, or the event itself. Saying something as simple as you hope your conversation partner has a good time also is a good way to get a conversation rolling. People tend to respond better to a positive subject rather than a negative one. Staying positive also helps put others at ease. 【3】.
It can be difficult to try to talk to someone when it feels that you have little in common. In these situations, getting the other person to talk about his or her own interests, work, or expertise can be a useful way. 【4】, so expressing a genuine interest in the things that other people enjoy can be excellent fuel for a great conversation.
Learning how to start a conversation is an important skill that can help you build social connections. It can be difficult initially, particularly if you struggle with shyness or social anxiety. 【5】. The more often you start to interact with others, the stronger your conversational skills will become.
A．If you put the skills into practice
B．Instead of pushing your fears away
C．Everyone feels some level of fear in social situations
D．Eye contact will make your partner feel embarrassed
E．Try to think of every interaction as a practice session
F．People often enjoy talking about things they are passionate about
