第三部分：閱讀理解（共15小題）
閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。
A
Most American students go to traditional public schools. 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 government’s 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.
56．If a private company wants to operate a charter school, it must .
A．try new methods of teachingB．prove its management ability
C．obey the local and state lawsD．get the government’s permission
57．Charter schools are independent because .
A．they make greater progressB．their class size is smaller
C．they enjoy more freedomD．they oppose traditional ways
58．What’s the government’s attitude toward charter schools?
A. Doubtful B. Supportive. C. Subjective. D．Optimistic.
59．What can we learn from the text?
A．More students choose to attend charter schools.
B．Charter schools are better than traditional schools.
C．Students in charter schools are well educated.
D．People have different opinions about charter schools.
60．It can be inferred from the text that .
A．charter schools are part of the education system
B．one-on-one attention should be paid to students
C．the number of charter schools will be limited
D．charter schools are all privately financed
B
One hot night last July, when our new baby wouldn’t or couldn’t 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 Bellushi's 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 baby's 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 don't 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!
61．Why did the author bring a TV set into his son's room?
A．To make his son keep quiet.
B．To spend the night by watching TV programs.
C．In order not to let his son feel lonely.
D．To make his son go to sleep as soon as possible.
62．The baby's reaction to the TV program was _______ .
A．unexpected B．encouragingC．exciting D．nervous
63．From this passage we know that the author is .
A．a(chǎn) doctorB．a(chǎn) reporterC．a(chǎn)n editorD．a(chǎn) teacher
64．According to the passage, which is true of the school children?
A．They prefer reading to watching TV.
B．They like watching TV after school.
C．They would rather watch TV than read books.
D．They like their teachers who teach them reading.
65．What does the underlined phrase in the last paragraph mean according to the passage?
A．talk aboutB．think aboutC．quarrel aboutD．care about
C
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 driver’s 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 driving．On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting．A 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 enough．Many drivers nowadays don’t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it．
However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous．Typical 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 time．The 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 can’t 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 users．It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart．
66．The passage mainly talks about .
A．road politenessB．traffic jams C．good mannersD．modern drivers
67．Troubles on the road are often caused by .
A．traffic jamsB．the behavior of the drivers
C．great speedD．terrible road conditions
68．According to the writer, a good driver should .
A．beat back when forced to face rude driving
B．be able to recognize politeness when he sees it
C．encourage old ladies to cross the roads whenever they want to
D．join in traffic stream quickly however other people feel
69．The following statements are right EXCEPT that .
A．some modern drivers are not good at driving
B．road politeness is good sense as well as good manners
C．it is also right to have a tiger in the driver’s seat
D．a(chǎn) friendly driver should nod or wave thanks in answer to an act of politeness
70．It is not always right for drivers to .
A．master roadmanship
B．recognize politeness when they see it
C．wave a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path
D．give a friendly nod in answer to an act of politeness

One possible version
According to a recent survey，many students have never said “Thank you” to their parents who have done all they could to bring them up in the past years.
The interviewed students claim such reasons as follows. First, a quarter of them regard it as parents’ duty to support them spiritually and financially. And it is not necessary to express appreciation to them. Half of them are aware of their parents’ tender love but are not accustomed to saying “Thank you”. Another quarter even find a generation gap between themselves and their parents, thus feeling reluctant to express their affection for their parents.
In my opinion, extending thankfulness to our parents is a way of respecting them and their love. We should express our feelings directly and bravely. What’s more ,we should do all we can to reward them with gratitude.

Text 10
One day, Peter went to the post office in his village. When he came home, he couldn’t find his wallet. So he told some of the villagers about it. Peter was sure that one of them must have found the wallet, but no one returned it to him.
A few weeks passed, and then one evening, Peter found his wallet outside his front door. In the wallet he found half the money he had lost, with a note. It said, “A thief, yes, but only 50 percent a thief.” Two months later, some more money was sent to Peter with another note saying, “Only 25 percent a thief now.” Finally, all Peter’s money was paid back in this way. The last note said, “I am 100 percent honest now.”
