第四部分 書面表達(dá)（共兩節(jié)，滿分45分）
第一節(jié) 閱讀表達(dá)（共5小題；每小題3分，滿分1 5分）
閱讀下面的短文，并根據(jù)短文后的要求答題。（請注意問題后的詞數(shù)要求）
[1]Every language has its own special words and expressions．And a story can be told  about each of them．Hot is a simple，easily understood word．So are most of the expressions  made with the word hot．But not always，as we shall see．
[2]The words hot potato，for example，give you no idea at all to the meaning of the expression，hot potato．The potato is popular and many Americans like baked potatoes．Imagine trying to carry a hot potato in your hand．It would be difficult，even painful to do so．Some publicly argued problems are highly emotional．The problems must be treated carefully, or they will be difficult and painful if an elected official has to deal with them．One such hot potato is taxes．Calling for higher taxes can mean defeat for a politician．And yet，if taxes are not raised，some very popular government programs could be cut．And that also can make a politician very unpopular．The questions must be dealt with carefully，the same way you would handle any other hot potato．
[3]Another expression is not so hot．If you ask someone how she feels，she may answer“not so hot．"What she means is that she does not feel well．Not so hot also is a way of saying you do not really like something．You may tell a friend that the new play you saw last night is not so hot．That means_____________.
[4]A hot shot is a person，often a young person，who thinks he can do anything．He is very sure he can succeed．But often he fails．The expression was born in the military forces．A hot shot was a soldier who fired without aiming carefully．
[5]Hot is a word that is often used to talk about anger．A person who becomes angry easily is called a hothead．An angry person’s neck often becomes red．We say he is hot under the collar．
76．What is the text mainly about?（within 8 words） 
______________________________________________________________________________                                                                        
77．Fill in the blank in Paragraph 3 with a proper sentence．（within 8 words）
______________________________________________________________________________                                                                               
78．Which sentence in the text is the closest in meaning to the following one?
As you would deal with other difficult problems，you must be careful with these ones．
______________________________________________________________________________                                                                                
79．List three situations where“hot”expressions can be used according to the text．（within 30  words）
①_____________________________________________________________________________
②_____________________________________________________________________________
③_____________________________________________________________________________                                                                         
80．Translate the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 into Chinese．
______________________________________________________________________________  

76．The expressions of hot．（評分要求：依據(jù)與文章整體內(nèi)容的相關(guān)程度酌情給分，關(guān)鍵詞：hot）
77．you don't consider it a success/you don't like（enjoy）it （評分要求：要求給出答案能保持與上下文的連貫性，而且與參考答案的意思相近）
78．The questions must be dealt with carefully, the same way you would handle any other hot potato．（評分要求：要求準(zhǔn)確找出以上句子，并完整無誤地抄寫在題目要求的位置。）
79．①when you mean something difficult and painful to handle ②when you do not really like something ③when you mean a person who becomes angry easily（評分要求：只要作答合情合理即可酌情給分，每項(xiàng)1分，不根據(jù)原文作答者不給分）
80．這些問題必須認(rèn)真對待，否則，當(dāng)選官員處理起來會很棘手。（評分要求：要求在準(zhǔn)確、全面的基礎(chǔ)上，翻譯成較為通順的漢語，并表達(dá)出作者的思路。）

Maggiano is an award-winning teacher in the Social Studies Department at West Springfield High School in Virginia. He has taught in public and private schools for 25 years .In a piece on his blog called “The Classroom Post,” he calls for more males to enter the profession(職業(yè)).
Men Teach, a non-profit organization that encourages men to enter teaching, reports that in 2008, 18.8% of all elementary and middle school teachers were men. At the high school level during the same year, men comprised（構(gòu)成） 44% of the work force.
Why are there so few men in teaching? Men Teach says low pay and lack of prestige（聲望）, as well as a perception in our culture that teaching is for women. As a result, there is no organized effort across the country to attract men into the teaching profession.
A study in 2008 by the National Education Association showed that the number of male teachers hit a record 40-year low. Males comprised 24.5 percent of public schoolteachers. States with high percentages: Kansas (33.6 percent), Oregon (31.6 percent), Alaska (30.9 percent) and Indiana (30.5percent).States with the lowest percentage : Arkansas (16.2 percent), Virginia (17.4 percent), Mississippi (17.5 percent), Louisiana (18 percent), South Carolina (18.5 percent) and Georgia (19.7 percent).
There is no definitive(確定) research that male students--or female students, for that matter-- learn better from a particular sex.
But as Maggiano put it, “Kids today, both boys and girls, must have the same opportunity to learn from outstanding, devoted men that I did. However, I have heard little discussion about this problem coming from our national leaders.
小題1:What worries Maggiano is that_______.         
A．nobody will take his place when he retires
B．male teachers are not so excellent
C．men are not interested in teaching
D．there is not enough teachers in the schools
小題2:According to the text , we can infer that______.      
A．the number of male teachers hit a record 40-year low in 2008
B．it is not sure students will learn better from male teachers
C．male teachers get a higher pay
D．organized efforts have been made to call on men into the teaching profession
小題3:In which state are male teachers most badly needed?
A．Alaska B．Virginia C．Georgia D．Arkansas
小題4:What does the last paragraph suggest?
A．The government doesn’t pay much attention to the shortage.
of male teachers in the school.
B．Students find it easy to learn from male teachers.
C．I’m glad to hear the discussion about the shortage of male teachers in the school.
D．The shortage of male teachers in the school has no effect on students.

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項(xiàng)（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
It u won $ 50,000,000 would u still go to college?
Lots of people go to college so they have a chance to get a better job, but if you won $ 50 million, would you still pursue（追求）a higher education?
Re: If u won $ 50,000,000 would u still go to college?
I would surely still go to college if I had that much money, but I would not be competing for a scholarship on collegenet. com. I would probably still discuss things here and I would create other scholarships to help other people to go to college as well.
With $ 50 million, I would not have to worry about getting a loan（貸款）from Chase Bank or finding scholarships to study abroad. I would have published several books by now as well, but I would still pursue my education. Going to undergraduate school is something that I really want to do because I want to become a Pediatrician. Money may buy a lot of things, but it does not necessarily give you knowledge and knowledge is what I am hunting for now.
I am not just going to school to get a better job; I am going to school to realize all of my dreams. $ 50 million is a lot of money, but no amount of money can keep me from my dreams.
Veggie thought: “Money may make things easier, but it is not everything. ”
Re: If u won $ 50,000,000 would u still go to college?
Would I still go? UMM , YES YES YES YES YES! ! ! ! !
I still want to teach... I don’t care if I have more money than Bill Gates... I still want to be in a classroom teaching! ! And I need a degree to do that! Teaching is my dream job, and it would make me really happy.
I would pay off my loans as well as my boyfriend’s loans and help out a couple of friends who are having trouble with money.
Re: If u won $ 50,000,000 would u still go to college?
I would still go to college. The only difference is with that much money to go to college I probably would stay in college longer and pursue a few extra degrees while I am there. I am looking for knowledge not money. The only problem is I need money to pursue knowledge.
Also I could set up scholarship funds and I could save some more for additional dreams that I have.
56. According to the answers, what do they have in common?
A. They all prefer money to education.
B. They all want to get a better job.

A. patient         B. ambitious        C. mean            D. selfish

A. They all have something they want to do.

C. The first person is rich.
D. The second person doesn’t want to get other scholarship.

D
“Up until about five years ago, students at this school could have worn anything they wanted on Halloween,” said Rosemarie Nielson, a sixth-grade teacher at St. Theresa School, a Roman Catholic elementary school in the Pelham Bay section of the Bronx where there is a prohibition on toy weapons.
“When you consider all the horrific things that have happened in recent years, including 9/11, I can’t blame any school for wanting to stay away from anything that might promote violence,” Ms. Nielson said.
Mary Ellen Manniello, whose daughter, Courtney, 9, is a fourth grader at St. Gabriel School, a Roman Catholic elementary school in the Riverdale section of the Bronx, said she understood why officials had banned weapons with costumes. “They’re learning more about guns from issues in the street than educational issues.”
This year, the school has gone one step further and is prohibiting all costumes at its Halloween festivities. Ms. Manniello said it had become “a chaotic scene,” with parents helping their children change into their costumes at school.
Some parents said the no-weapons policy for Halloween costumes went too far and denied children a chance to express themselves.
“Halloween has always been the one day when it was acceptable for our children to be dressed like somebody they are not, like a cowboy or a pirate or a person from outer space, and now we’re taking that away from them,” said Laura Santoro, a nurse from New Milford, Conn., whose 7-year-old son, Johnny, is a second grader at Northville Elementary School there.
Ms. Santoro said that her son would dress as Capt. Jack Sparrow, the character played by Johnny Depp in the “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies, at the school’s Halloween party, but that he would not be allowed to take a sword — part of a policy that caught her by surprise last Halloween.
“I sent my son to school last year dressed as a special force Power Ranger, and he was told that he couldn’t take along his red laser blaster, which really surprised me, because the laser is red and made of plastic and lights up, and it could never, ever be mistaken for a real gun,” Ms. Santoro said. “I mean, come on, the whole thing is getting really sad.”
53. What do you think is the writer’s purpose of writing the passage?
A. To introduce to the public the no-weapons policy for Halloween costumes.
B. To state parents’ attitudes towards the no-weapons policy for Halloween costumes.
C. To tell the public that children should bring any weapons for Halloween costumes.
D. To analyse the fact that the no-weapons policy for Halloween costumes goes too far.
54. According to the passage, some parents understand the no-weapon policy for Halloween costumes because ____________.
A. schools should take a cautious approach to Halloween to prevent violence.
B. children are buying real guns in the street and there is always violence now.
C. those parents like to help their children change into their costumes at school.
D. children are learning more about guns from educational issues.
55. Which of the following is probably right according to the passage?
A. Children could bring any weapons into school five or six years ago.
B. The parents surveyed are those whose children are in elementary schools.
C. Guns are necessary on Halloween for children to express themselves.
D. Jack Sparrow is an actor who at one time acted as a pirate in a movie.
56. What do the underlined words “l(fā)aser blaster” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. A kind of costume.                           B. A real gun.
C. A toy weapon.                                 D. A kind of plastic.

Flattered, the man replied, “Oh yes, I agree with you completely. This must be a sign from God!”
The woman continued, “ and look at this, here is another miracle. My car is completely destroyed but this bottle of wine doesn’t break. Surely God wants us to drink this wine and celebrate our good fortune.” Then she handed the bottle to the man.

第二部分：閱讀理解 (共45分)
第一節(jié)（共20小題，每小題2分，滿分40分）
閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)
A
If you were to come up with a list of organizations whose failures had done the most damage to the American economy in recent years, you would probably have to start with the Wall Street firms that brought us the financial crisis. From there, you might move on to the automakers in Detroit.
But I would suggest that the list should also include a less obvious nominee(被提名): public education.
At its top level, the American system of higher education may be the best in the world. Yet in terms of its core mission(核心使命)---turning teenagers into educated college graduates--- much of the system is failing.
The United States does a good job enrolling (招生) teenagers in college, but only half of the students who enroll end up with a bachelor’s degree.
So identifying the causes of the college dropout crisis in the world’s largest economy matters enormously, and a new book called “Crossing the Finish Line” tries to do precisely that. Its authors are economists William Bowen and Michael McPherson, and a doctoral candidate Matthew Chingos. The first problem they diagnose is something they call under-matching. It refers to students who choose not to attend the best college they can get into. They instead go to a less selective one, perhaps one that is closer to home or less expensive. About half of the low-income students with an average of at least 3.5 in high school and an SAT score of at least 1,200 do not attend the best college they could have. “I was really astonished by the degree to which well-qualified students from poor families under-matched,” said Mr. Bowen.
In fact, well-off students attend the colleges that do the best job of producing graduates. Meanwhile, lower-income students -–even when they are better qualified—often go to colleges that excel（擅長）in producing drop-outs. “It’s really a waste,” Mr. Bowen said, “and a big problem for the country.” As the authors point out, the only way to lift the college graduation rate significantly is to lift it among poor and working-class students. Instead, it appears to have fallen.
What can be done? Money is clearly part of the answer.
41.Which of the following would people first think of as a factor responsible for the American financial crisis according to this passage?
A. The government.                      B. Public education
C. The Detroit automakers.                       D. The Wall Street firms.
42. What is a big problem with American higher education?
A. It is hard to enroll enough students into college.
B. Many colleges are experiencing low rate of graduation.
C. Many college students stay away from classes.
D. It is hard for many colleges to get financial aid from the government. 
43. The title of the book Crossing the Finish Line probably means______.
A. running to the end of the line                B. going to college
C. finishing college education                    D. working hard in college
44. Why do some students under--match ?
A. Because they have financial difficulty.  B. Because they face ambition crisis.
C. Because they lack confidence.             D. Because they can’t get guidance.
45. The passage is mainly about _______.
A. problems with secondary American education and possible solutions
B. America’s financial crisis, its cause and influence
C. low rate of American college graduation, its cause and its influence
D. relationship between American education and its economy

She is widely seen as proof that good looks can last forever. But, at nearly 500 years of age, time is catching up with the Mona Lisa.
    71    
“The thin, wooden panel on which the Mona Lisa is painted in oil has changed shape since experts checked it two years ago,” the museum said.   72     
        73   “It is very interesting that when you’re not looking at her, she seems to be smiling, and then you look at her and she stops,” said Professor Margaret Livingstone of Harvard University. “It’s because direct vision(視覺) is excellent at picking up detail, but less suited to looking at shadows. Da Vinci painted the smile in shadows.”
However, the actual history of the Mona Lisa is just as mysterious as the smile.      74   
In 1911, the painting was stolen from the Louvre by a former employee, who took it out of the museum hidden under his coat. He said he planned to return it to Italy. The painting was sent back to France two years later.
         75   
A．Nearly 6 million people go to see the Mona Lisa every year, many attracted by the mystery of her smile.
B．This picture is now so valuable that no one can tell its exact price. Therefore, many thieves tried to steal it in any way they could think of.
C．Visitors have noticed the changes but repairing the world’s most famous painting is not easy. Experts are not sure about the materials the Italian artist used and their current chemical state.
D．Da Vinci himself loved it so much that he always carried it with him, until it was eventually sold to France’s King Francis I in 1519.
E. The health of the famous picture, painted by Leonardo da Vinci in 1505, is getting worse by the year, according to the Louvre Museum (盧浮宮博物館) where it is housed.
F. During World War II, French hid the painting in small towns to keep it out of the hands of German forces. Like many old ladies, the Mona Lisa has some interesting stories to tell.
