三、阅读理解（共15小题，每题2分，满分30分）

A

Last year more than 100 foreign delegations （代表团） and governments visited Helsinki， hoping to learn the secret of their schools success.

In 2006， Finlands pupils scored the highest average results in science and reading in the whole of the developed world. In the OECDs exams for 15 yearolds， known as PISA， they also came second in maths， beaten only by teenagers in South Korea.

This isnt a oneoff： in previous PISA tests Finland also came out top.

The Finnish philosophy with education is that everyone has something to contribute and those who struggle in certain subjects should not be left behind.

A strategy used in almost every lesson is the supply of an additional teacher who helps those who struggle in a particular subject. But the pupils are all kept in the same classroom， regardless of their ability in that particular subject.

According to the OECD， Finnish children spend the fewest number of hours in the classroom in the developed world.

This reflects another important theme of Finnish education.

Primary and secondary schooling is combined， so the pupils dont have to change schools at the age of 13.They avoid a possibly troubled changeover from one school to another.

Children in Finland only start main school at the age of seven. The idea is that before then they learn best when theyre playing and by the time they finally get to school they are keen to start learning.

Finnish parents obviously claim some recognition for the impressive school results. There is a culture of reading with the kids at home and families have regular contact with their childrens teachers.

The educational systems success in Finland seems to be partcultural. Pupils study in a relaxed and informal atmosphere. The success is built on the idea of less can be more. There is an emphasis on relaxed schools， free from political prescriptions. This combination， they believe， means that no child is left behind.

36. What does the underlined word “oneoff” in Paragraph 3 mean according to the passage？

A. Something that occurs only once.

B. Something successful in the PISA tests.

C. Something that takes place repeatedly.

D. Something strange and unexpected.

37. Which of the following is true according to the passage？

A. Finlands pupils got the highest average score in science in the world in 2006.

B. Finlands pupils got the highest score in reading in the world in 2006.

C. In PISA， Finlands pupils also got the highest average score in maths.

D. Pupils from South Korea got the top No.1 in maths in PISA.

38. A strategy in the Finnish education is that .

A. pupils who struggle in certain subjects should be left behind

B. there is an additional teacher who helps pupils who have difficulty with a particular subject

C. pupils are separated in different classrooms according to their ability in a particular subject

D. pupils have to change schools at the age of 13

39. Finlands success in education lies in the following facts except that .

A. everyone has something to contribute and those who struggle in certain subjects should not be left behind

C. the pupils often change from one school to another

For high school leavers starting out in the working world， it is very important to learn particular skills and practice how to behave in an interview or how to find an internship （实习）. In some countries， schools have programs to help students onto the path to work. In the United States， however， such programs are still few and far between.

Research shows that if high schools provide careerrelated courses， students are likely to get higher earnings in later years. The students are more likely to stay in school， graduate and go on to higher education.

In Germany， students as young as 13 and 14 are expected to do internships. German companies work with schools to make sure that young people get the education they need for future employment.

But in America， education reform programs focus on how well students do in exams instead of bringing them into contact with the working world. Harvard Education school professor Robert Schwartz has criticized education reformers for trying to place all graduates directly on the fouryear college track. Schwartz argued that this approach leaves the countrys most vulnerable （易受影响的） kids with no jobs and no skills.

Schwartz believed that the best career programs encourage kids to go for higher education while also it needs to teach them valuable practical skills at high school. James Madison High School in New York， for example， encourages students to choose classes on careerbased courses. The school then helps them gain onthejob experience in those fields while theyre still at high school.

However， even for teens whose schools encourage them to connect with work， the job market is daunting. In the US， unemployment rates for 1619yearolds are above 20 percent for the third summer in a row.

“The risk is that if teenagers miss out on the summer job experience， they become part of this generation of teens who had trouble in landing a job，” said Michael， a researcher in the US.

40. In the authors opinion， American high school leavers .

A. have enough careerrelated courses

B. need more career advice from their schools

C. perform better in exams than German students

D. can get higher earnings in later years

41. According to Robert Schwartz， .

A. there is no need for kids to go for higher education in the US

B. students should get contact with the working world at high school

C. education reform should focus on students performance in exams

D. teenagers in the US cant miss out on the summer job experience

42. What can be inferred from the text？

A. Unemployment rates for US teenagers remain high at the moment.

B. Students with careerbased courses never have problems finding a job.

C. US companies work with schools to prepare young people for future employment.

D. High school leavers with no practical skills cant find a job absolutely.

43. Whats the main idea of the text？

A. Arguments about recent US education reform.

B. Tips on finding jobs for high school leavers.

C. The lack of careerbased courses in US high schools.

D. Advice for American high school leavers.

Its a nightmare for Huazhong University of Science and Technology （HUST）：within a week， two students committed suicide by jumping off dorm buildings.

Officials from the university are reluctant to give interviews.

“We had a hard time calming down students who were shocked at the suicides，” said Zhang Jingyuan， one official of HUST.

“Media coverage may arouse some students negative emotions again. Suicide can be contagious，” Zhang said.

The university reacted promptly to the first suicide on October 23.

Advisors and class leaders conducted dormtodorm checks to find students suffering depression. Then psychologists offered oneonone counseling to them.

Notice boards publicizing tips for identifying peers mental problems and offering help were set up in front of dorm buildings. Leaflets carrying similar information were handed out to each dorm.

However， the second suicide came seven days later.

Both students were described as men of few words. Their schoolmates didnt see anything to indicate suicide.

Zhang revealed that the two students had been bothered by mental disorders. But the school didnt know this until the students close friends outside school and their parents unveiled the truth after the suicides.

According to Zhang， there are only three fulltime counselors working in the universitys counseling center for its 60，000 students. He complained， “Its unrealistic to rely only on counselors to detect students mental problems.”

Effective prevention comes from longterm education for life instead of temporary intervention to meet an emergency， said Hu Yian. Hu delivers a course of lectures on life and death at Guangzhou University. He worries that universities have paid little attention to education for life.

“Education for life helps students respect and love life so they wont resort to ending their lives when they have difficulties，” said Hu.

According to Hu， the principles can be incorporated into everyday teaching.

Hu is also concerned that some universities are conveying discriminatory message that will hold back students from seeking help.

When HUST conducted the dormtodorm examination， students with poor academic performance were paid special attention. In March， Peking University also released a controversial policy， which required teachers to have a chat with students “with biased thinking”.

However， Hu suggested that students step out of their comfort zone to seek reallife communication.

44. Why did the advisors and class leaders go to the students dorm？

A. To learn the first suicide.

B. To avoid the second suicide.

C. To learn about the students suffering depression.

D. To offer help to the students.

45. Which one of the following is NOT the reason why officials from the university are reluctant to give interviews？

A. The university reacted promptly to the first suicide on October 23.

B. They had a hard time calming down students who were shocked at the suicides.

C. Media coverage may arouse some students negative emotions again.

D. Two suicides within a week is really a nightmare for the university.

46. Whats the main idea of the passage？

A. Two students of HUST committed suicide.

B. What can we do to prevent the students suicide？

C. The reasons why the students committed suicide.

D. The dangers in the universities in China.

Literature is a term used to describe written as well as spoken material. Generally speaking， it is often used to describe anything from creative imagination， including works of poetry， drama and fiction.

Then why read literature， since it is often imaginary and seems unconnected with real life？

A lot of us read literature for pleasure and relaxation. Its always pleasant to read some interesting books， such as comedies and novels， in our spare time. In a modern life full of pressure， it is our common desire to read some imaginary works and seek relaxation from the stress in life.

Reading literature is more than fun； it also enables us to acquire knowledge. As a general rule， literature represents a language or a people， and it often gives us an insight（洞察力）into the traditions， customs， beliefs， attitudes and values of the age in which it was written.

Sometimes literature can even offer us new， creative ways to have a better understanding of the world. It helps us make sense of the world around us. It introduces us to new worlds of experiences. We enjoy the comedy and the tragedy of poems， stories and plays； and we may even grow through our literary journey with books. Eventually， we may discover meaning in literature by looking at what the author says and how he / she says it. In a sense， we explore the human condition and analyze how and why people think the way they think and feel the way they feel. Literature enables us to think analytically and promotes open minds. We see the world through the eyes of different cultures and in turn learn the ways to deal with things that happen around.

So we can definitely say literature is of great importance to us. Why not get going with one poem， drama or fiction at once？

五、One possible version：

Today we hold a discussion about the key points for school education. Id like to present our results. As we all know， normally school education aims to cultivate students abilities to learn and think. But more and more people realize that without the cultivation of moral norms and ethics， we can hardly expect a society to be nice enough for leading a harmonious life. As a result， schools should attach more attention to students character education， such as qualities of honesty and filial piety.

Character education plays an important role in the development of future society. It meets the needs of emphasizing and developing the students allround qualities. In the long run， it protects students from being selfish and indifferent. Whats more， it teaches students how to learn efficiently， how to live colorfully， how to do things seriously， for their own future， and also for the future of their motherland.

According to me， I am in favor of the importance of character education for the reason that a moral degenerate student can never contribute to our society.
