23、pparently, also effective. In New York City, only about 50 percent of students manage to graduate in four years. At Bedford Academy, 63 percent of the students qualify for free lunch, a majority of which are being raised by a single mother and another significant number are being raised by someone o
24、ther than a parent. Yet close to 95 percent of students graduate, and actually, every one of those goes on to college.Mr. Leonard does not achieve those results by admitting only high-testing students into his school. Of the students arriving with lower test scores, Mr. Leonard says that he is not l
25、ooking for the students with the highest grades, or even the best behavior. Hes looking for the ones who understand his basic mission of discipline and respect, and are willing to devote themselves to his regular training course.The Bedford Academy High School is famous for its autonomy. For Mr. Leo
26、nard, autonomy means insisting that all entering students spend their Saturday mornings in preparatory classes tile summer before they enroll. Autonomy also means an automatic weeklong suspension for any student who “disrespects a female,“ said Mr. Leonard. It means requiring struggling students, in
27、 the weeks before the Regents exams, to attend studying sessions on Saturday from 9 a. m. until 9 p. m. It means the most senior, experienced teachers, including Mr. Leonard, teach not the schools academic jewels, but the most struggling students.And autonomy also means the schools teachers administ
28、er almost no homework. Instead they emphasize after-school tutoring where the teachers can keep a better eye on whether the student is actually grasping the material.（分数：12.00）(1).In Mr. Leonards school, most of the students who dont have to pay for lunch _.A. are adopted children B. are parentlessC
29、. are homeless D. have a single parent（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(2).What can be a good indication of the Bedford Schools success?A. 63 percent of its students go on to college.B. A high percentage of students enjoy free lunch.C. All the graduates from the school go on to college.D. The number of its graduate
30、s is twice that of New York High School.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(3).What does Mr. Leonard expect from those low-testing students?A. The highest scores. B. The best behaviour.C. Respectfulness and discipline. D. Willingness to learn by themselves.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(4).The school insists that students should
31、_.A. leave the school if they fail to respect a womanB. attend the preparatory classes in the summer before enrollingC. do their homework to review what they have learnedD. come to the school on Sundays（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.Before a new type of airplane goes into service, every part of it is tested again
32、 and again. But there are two tests that are more important than all the others.The first is called the “tank test“. A modern airplane must fly very high in the sky. Air must be pumped into the plane so that the passengers can breathe. The metal structure(结构) of the plane has to be very strong for t
33、his reason. When the plane is filled with air, the air presses against the skin of the plane inside. The pressure (压力) on a small window is like a huge foot that is trying to get out. If a small part of the plane were to fail, the plane would explode in the sky. To test the structure of the plane, t
34、he plane is lowered into a huge tank or container of water. Then it is filled with air. The pressure inside the plane is greater than it ever will be when it is high up in the air. Finally, there is an explosion. This does not cause so much damage inside the water tank as it would anywhere else. Eng
35、ineers can discover which part of the plane has broken. Then that part is made stronger.The most dangerous test happens when the new plane is going through test flights in the air. The test pilot must find out exactly what happens when the engines (发动机) are all shut off at once. The plane begins to
36、fall like a stone. It is the pilots job to find out how he can get control of the plane again. These two tests are examples of how planes are made safe before they ever carry passengers.（分数：12.00）(1).By doing the “tank test“, the engineers can find out_.A. the amount of air in the planeB. the streng
37、th of the plane structureC. the pressure inside and outside the planeD. the power of the airplane engines（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(2).What will happen to the plane under the “tank test“?A. It will be broken.B. It will be made stronger.C. It will be filled with water.D. It wilt be tested by pilots.（分数：3.00）A
38、.B.C.D.(3).According to the text, why are test flights most dangerous?A. The plane may explode in the air.B. The pilot may lose control of the plane.C. The engines may be damaged.D. Too much air may get into the plane.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(4).What might be the most suitable title for the text?A. Two Imp
39、ortant Tests on AirplanesB. The Importance of Flying SafelyC. The Danger of Testing AirplanesD. How Airplanes Are Made and Tested（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.There was ice on the road, and the doctors car hit a tree and turned over three times. To his surprise, he was not hurt. He got off the car and walked to
40、the nearest house.He wanted to telephone the garage for help. The door was opened by one of his patients.“Oh, Doctor,“ she said, “I have only just telephoned you. You must have a very fast car. You have got here very quickly in deed. There has been a very bad accident on the road outside. I saw it t
41、hrough the window. I am sure the driver will need your help./（分数：12.00）(1).The story took place_.A. on a rainy day B. in summerC. in September D. on a cold day（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(2).The doctor wanted the garage_.A. to repair his car B. to sent him to a hospitalC. to pull his car back D. send for anoth
42、er doctor（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(3).Where did the doctor meet one of his patients?A. In the doctors houses. B. In the patients house.C. On the road side. D. In the hospital.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(4).Which of the following is true according to the story?A. As soon as he received the telephone call, the doctor i
43、mmediately drove to the house of the patient.B. The doctor did not receive the telephone call.C. The doctor had already known the accident before he came out of his house.D.

44、nows that the quality of lecturers varies greatly. A few are very effective communicators, conveying the substance of their lectures clearly and interestingly and inspiring students to want to know more about the subject. Others produce dull lectures from which the students learn little and which ar
45、e likely to kill any interest they may have in the subject. Lecturing is a major part of a university lecturers job and it would seem reasonable that effectiveness in this task should be a major standard in assessing a lecturer for promotion. However, it is very often the case that far more weight i
46、s given to such factors as participation in research, number of publications and even performance of administrative duties. My point of view is that a lecturers lecturing should be regularly evaluated and that the best people to carry out this evaluation are those directly on the receiving end.It co
47、uld, of course, be argued that students are not competent to evaluate the academic quality of lectures, If anyone should evaluate lecturers, it should be their colleagues. However, I am not arguing that students should be asked to comment on the academic content of lectures, but to evaluate the effe
48、ctiveness.I suspect that many of the objections to student evaluation stem from the fear some lecturers have of being subject to criticism by their students. However, lecturers should see such evaluation as an opportunity to become aware of defects in their lecturing techniques and thus to become be
49、tter lecturers. Such a system should benefit both students and lecturers as well as help department heads to assess the strengths and weaknesses of their teaching staff.（分数：12.00）(1).According to the author, all the students know that _.A. there are great differences among the lecturers as to their quality of teachingB. quite a lot of teachers can produce the results students desireC. they must be inspired to learnD. it is too dull to attend lectures（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(2)
