第1题

Education begins with teachers. Yet teaching seems to be losing its appeal for many of the

best and brightest college students. In high school, many of the best students decide that they want to be teachers, but their relatives and friends soon convince them to change their minds. One student's mother kept reminding her of the relatively skimpy salaries teachers currently earn until the student changed to another major. Another student took computer science courses because his father thought that teachers were at the bottom of the social ladder. One said that none of her friends looked upon teaching as a worthwhile career, so she came to think of teaching as not noble enough and went into pharmacy instead. According to several recent reports on the shortcomings of American public schooling, teaching's lack of appeal for the brightest college students is one of the teaching profession's most worrisome problems.

Many articles on teaching, currently popular in newspapers, magazines, and professional education journals, concentrate on the negative aspects of teaching. The expression "teacher burnout" is commonly ascribed to thousands of thoughtful and dedicated teachers who are leaving the profession. Teacher burnout is caused by such problems as violence in the classroom, vandalism, inadequate salaries, involuntary transfers, interfering parents, oversized classes, and excessive paperwork. Even the best teachers cannot solve a child's problems, but many of them believe the public expects them to, and they give up teaching in despair.

Despite the more limited financial prospects, the deterioration of the American public's attitude toward teachers, and the problems caused by disruptive students, many of the best students conclude that they want to pursue careers in the classroom after all. The three students mentioned above discovered that they wanted personal fulfillment from their life's work more than they wanted material rewards. Each eventually chose to become a teacher. However, a growing body of evidence shows that such students are exceptions, rather than the rule, in America's more than 1,200 teacher-training programs. Many teacher-training schools are beginning to look at ways to recruit the kind of people who would be inclined toward the positive aspects of teaching. The teaching profession has to become more attractive to good students.

Prospective teachers will see increased emphasis by national teacher organizations, state certification agencies, and local districts on improving the status of the profession, as well as on improving teacher salaries. Continued efforts to eliminate jobs teachers do that are not teacher--such as policing the restrooms, hallways, and cafeterias--are important for upgrading the profession.

While teaching is not a wise career choice for all, teaching is a noble and rewarding profession for those who indeed seek personal fulfillment from their life's work. The first year of teaching is frequently the most frustrating year in a teacher's life. The experience of solving problems that deal with instruction, students, parents, administrators, and fellow teachers is of immeasurable value for future success.

The main idea of the first paragraph is that ______.

A．teachers are indispensable to education

B．teaching is not a worthwhile career

C．teaching is losing its appeal for the best college students

D．teaching profession is looked down on by most parents

第2题

One friend once said to me, "Do you know that most college students can't even put semi-co

lons(分号) in the right place？" Emphatic voices like his have recently made writing courses popular, strangely popular because of their hard-nosed attitude toward correct writing. Most administrators and teachers extend this medicinal metaphor (隐喻), they agree that students are suffering from a serious disease. Many tests identify increasing numbers of student writers as skills cripples (跛子), and they need treatment. Remedial courses are given everywhere. More writing labs are appearing and expanding.

Many students are willing to believe that there is really something wrong with them. More students than ever before tell me and my colleagues that they are indeed bad writers and need lots of help with grammar and punctuation. I feel like a doctor, my job is to diagnose (诊断) the disease and prescribe cures whenever I read student writing, It would be easy enough for me to circle spelling errors, cross out unnecessary commas, line out wordy sentences. And knowing that this sort of marking can sting, I would of course write, onto the end of the paper, something about how I know the student really tried hard, something about his rich imagination or his clear potential for doing well.

But I wonder whether all these well-intentioned scrawls (潦草写几句话) would do little more than confirm my student’s fears about how crippled he is.

According to the passage, a "skills cripple" is someone who ______. ()

A．is seriously ill

B．has a rich imagination

C．is a bad writer

D．has a serious injury to the leg

Inthefallof1924ThomasWolfe，freshfromhiscoursesinplaywritingatHarvardjoinedtheeightortenofu

In the fall of 1924 Thomas Wolfe， fresh from his courses in play writing at Harvard joined the eight or

ten of us who were teaching English composition in New York University. I had never before seen a man

so tall as he， and so ugly. I pitied him and went out of my way to help him with his work and make him

feel at home.

His students soon let me know that he had no need of my protectiveness. They spoke of his ability to

explain a poem in such a manner as to have them shouting with laughter or struggling to keep back

their tears， of his readiness to quote in detail from any poet they could name.

Indeed， his students made so much of his power of observation that I decided to make a little test and

see for myself. My chance came one morning when the students were slowly gathering for nine o‘clock

classes.

Upon arriving at the university that day， I found Wolfe alone in the large room which served all the

English composition teachers as an office. He did not say anything when I asked him to come

with me out into the hall， and he only smiled when we reached a classroom door and I told him

to enter alone and look around.

He stepped in， remained no more than thirty seconds and then came out. “Tell me what you see.”

I said as I took his place in the room， leaving him in the hall with his back to the door. Without the

least hesitation and without a single error， he gave the number of seats in the room， pointed out

those which were taken by boys and those occupied by girls， named the colors each student was

wearing， pointed out the Latin verb written on the blackboard， spoke of the chalk marks which the

cleaner had failed to wash from the floor， and pictured in detail the view of Washington Square from

the window.

As I rejoined Wolfe， I was speechless with surprise. He， on the contrary， was wholly calm as he

said， “The worst thing about it is that I‘ll remember it all.”

What is the passage mainly discussing？

A. Thomas Wolfe‘s teaching work.

B. Thomas Wolfe‘s course in playwriting.

C. Thomas Wolfe‘s ability of explaining.

D. Thomas Wolfe‘s genius.

第4题

The kids are hanging out. I pass small bands of students, in my way to work these mornings

. They have become a familiar part of the summer landscape.

These kids are not old enough for jobs. Nor are they rich enough for camp. They are school children without school. The calendar called the school year ran out on them a few weeks ago. Once supervised by teachers and principals, they now appear to be "self care'.

Passing them is like passing through a time zone. For much of our history, after all, Americans arranged the school year around the needs of work and family. In 19th century cities, schools were open seven or eight hours a day, 11 months a year. In rural America, the year was arranged around the growing season. Now, only S percent of families follow the agricultural model, but nearly all schools are scheduled as if our children went home early to milk the cows and took months off to work the crops. Now, three-quarters of the mothers of school-age children work, but the calendar is written as if they were home waiting for the school bus.

The six-hour day, the 180-day school year is regarded as something holy. But when parents work an eight-hour day and a 240-day year, it means something different. It means that many kids go home to empty houses. It means that, in the summer, they hang out.

"We have a huge mismatch between the school calendar and realities of family life," says Dr. Ernest Boyer, head of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching.

Dr. Boyer is one of many who believe that a radical revision of the school calendar is inevitable. "School, whether we like it or not, is educational. It always has been."

His is not a popular idea. Schools are routinely burdened with the job of solving all our social problems. Can they be asked to meet the needs of our work and family lives？

It may be easier to promote a longer school year on its educational merits and, indeed, the educational case is compelling. Despite the complaints and studies about our kids' lack of learning, the United State still has a shorter school year than any industrial nation. In most of Europe, the school year is 220 days. In Japan, it is 240 days long. While classroom time alone doesn't produce a well-educated child, learning takes time and more learning takes more time. The long summers of forgetting take a toll.

The opposition to a longer school year comes from families that want to and can provide other experiences for their children. It comes from teachers. It comes from tradition. And surely from kids. But the most important part of the conflict has been over the money.

Which of the following is an opinion of the author's？

A．The kids are hanging out.

B．They are school children without school.

C．These kids are not old enough for jobs.

D．The calendar called the school year ran out on them a few weeks ago.
