Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best ch

19、oice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage One: Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.Rowena and Billy Wrangler are model high school students. They study hard and do extremely well on achievement tests. And next year, Row

20、ena will be attending Harvard University. Billy, her younger brother, hopes to go to Cornell. What makes Rowena and Billy different from most students is that they dont go to school. In fact, theyve never been to school. Since kindergarten, theyve studied at home. Neither Rowena nor Billy feels as i

21、f theyve missed out on anything by being taught at home. Like many of more than one million people who receive home schooling in the United States, they feel as if theyve gotten a good education.The home-schooling trend began in the U.S. in the 1980s with parents keeping their children out of public

22、 schools so they could provide religious education at home. Today, as the home-schooling trend continues to grow, parents are more likely to consider home schooling as an option because they believe schools dont do a very good job of teaching and are occasionally dangerous places. But can parents re

23、ally do a better job?The answer in many cases is yes. In many studies, students taught at home ranked average or above average when compared to students who went to public schools. More importantly, these students were often more self-directed and have a greater depth of knowledge. “They are very we

24、ll prepared for academic challenges,” says Patricia Riordan, the dean of admissions at George Mason University.One such student, Robert Conrad, now a sophomore at university, claims he really learned how to study and schedule his time during his eight years of home schooling. Still, not every studen

25、t is as successful as Robert.“For every home-schooling success story, there are an equal number of failures,” states Henry Lipscomb, an educational researcher. “There are just so many disadvantages that students taught at home have to overcome.” For example, they have fewer chances to interact with

26、others of their own age. Consequently, they sometimes lack the usual social skills. “No matter what, though,” states Lipscomb, “home-schooling is a growing trend. I think well be seeing more and more of this.”51. Compared with other students, the most different thing Rowena and Billy do is that_.A.t

27、hey study hardB.they do extremely well on achievement testsC.they never go to schoolD.they feel they have gotten a good education52. At first in the 1980s parents gave home-schooling to children for_.A.better educationB.religious educationC.safetyD.all the above53. According to the article, what is

28、NOT the advantage of being educated at home?A.Home is a safer place for children.B.Students taught at home are more self-directed.C.Students taught at home have a greater depth of knowledge.D.Students taught at home can go to good universities.54. The writer thinks_.A.parents can do a better job tha

29、n schoolsB.home-schooling will be more and more usefulC.students taught at home make greater achievementsD.home-schooling is good in some aspects55. The best title of this text might be_A.Home-schooling: A Growing TrendB.Home-schooling: A Better ChoiceC.Home-schooling: A Way to SuccessD.Home-schooli

30、ng: A New Method of EducationPassage One: Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage. When you turn on the radio, you hear an advertisement. When you watch television, you hear and see an advertisement. If you turn the pages of a newspaper or magazine, again you find an advertisement. If

31、you walk down the street, you see one advertising board after another. Every day, all day, people who want to sell you something compete to catch your attention. As a result, advertisements are almost everywhere.In the west, advertisements are the fuel that makes mass media work. Many TV stations, n

32、ewspapers, magazines, radio stations are privately owned. The government does not give them money. So where does the money come from? From advertisements. Without advertisements, there would not be these private businesses. Have you ever ask yourself what advertising is? Through the years, people ha

33、ve given different answers to the question. For some time it was a means of “keeping your name before the public.” And some people thought that advertising was “truth well told.” Now more and more people tend to define it in this way: Advertising is the paid, non-personal and usually persuasive pres

34、entation of goods, services, and ideas by identified sponsors through various media.First, adverting is usually paid for. Various sponsors pay for the ads we see, read, and hear over the various media. Second, advertising is non-personal. It is not face-to-face communication. Although you may feel t

35、hat a message in a certain advertisement is aimed directly at you, in reality, it is directed at large groups of people. Third, advertising is usually persuasive. Directly or indirectly it urges people to do something. All advertisements try to convince people that the product, idea, or service adve

36、rtised can benefit them. Fourth the sponsors of the advertisement must be identified. From the advertisement we can see if the sponsor is a corporation, or a committee, or an individual. Fifth, advertising reaches us through traditional and nontraditional mass media. Included in the traditional medi

37、a are newspapers, magazines, radio, television, and films. Nontraditional media include the mail, matchbox covers, and billboards.51.

39、ions.18. Individuals. 19.All of the above.54. Which of the following is considered nontraditional mass media ?A. NewspapersB. The mailC. MagazinesD. Films55.
