What about Tuesday?“ Dr. Gibson felt a sharp blow on his leg from the toe of Mollys shoe, but even so he accepted the invitation, much to the
24、old ladys satisfaction. A moment later Molly said to him, “ How could you go and waste one of our precious evening! Weve only got five now. Ive been planning all sorts of things for us to do tonight. “ “What sort of things?“ “Oh, I dont know. Things you used to like, “she looked at him boldly. “Forb

While he was still a boy, his father died, and he had to support his family. Like
31、most of the children in his town, he attended school two or three months a year. Later, with the help of several teachers, he was able to study law and become a member of the Massachusetts bar, but he never forgot those early struggles. While serving in the Massachusetts legislature, he signed a his
32、toric education bill that set up a state board of education. Without regret, he gave up his successful legal practice to become the first secretary of the board. There he exercised an enormous influence during the critical period of reconstruction that brought into existence the American graded elem
33、entary school as a substitute for the older district school system. Under his leadership, the curriculum was restructured, the school year was increased to a minimum of six months, and mandatory schooling was extended to age sixteen. Other important reforms that came into existence under Manns guida
34、nce included the establishment of state normal schools for teacher training. Considered quite radical at the time, the Massachusetts reforms later served as a model for the nations educational system. Mann was formally recognized as the father of public education. During his lifetime, Horace Mann wo
35、rked tirelessly to extend educational opportunities to agrarian families and the children of poor laborers. In one of his last speeches he summed up his philosophy of education and life: “ Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity. “ （分数：1.00）(1).Which of the following can be th

40、stemIts very interesting to note where the debate about diversity is taking place. It is taking place primarily in political circles. Here at the college Fund, we have a lot of contact with top corporate leaders; none of them is talking about getting rid of those instruments that produce diversity.
41、In fact, they say that if their companies are to compete in the global village and in the global market place, diversity is an imperative. They also say that the need for talented, skilled Americans means we have to expand the pool of potential employees. And in looking at where birth rates are grow
42、ing and at where the population is shifting, corporate America understands that expanding the pool means promoting policies that help provide skills to, more minorities, more women, and more immigrants. Corporate leaders know that if that doesnt occur in our society, they will not have the engineers
43、, the scientists, the lawyers, or the business managers they will need. Likewise, I dont hear people in the academy saying, “Lets go backward. Lets go back to the good old days, when we had a meritocracy“ ( which was never true we never had a meritocracy, although we ve come closer to it in the last
44、 30 years). I recently visited a great little college in New York where the campus has doubled its minority population in the last six years. I talked with an African American who has been a professor there for a long time, and she remembers that when she first joined the community, there were fewer
45、 than a handful of minorities on campus. Now, all of us feel the university is better because of the diversity. So where we hear this debate is primarily in political circles and in the media not in corporate board rooms or on college campuses. （分数：1.00）(1).The word “imperative“ in the first paragra
46、ph most probably can be replaced by_.（分数：0.20）A.remarkableB.superficialC.essentialD.debatable(2).Which of the following groups of people still differ in their views on diversity?（分数：0.20）A.Managers.B.Businessmen.C.Professors.D.Politicians.(3).High corporate leaders seem to be in favor of promoting d
47、iversity so as to_.（分数：0.20）A.lower the rate of unemploymentB.win equal political rightsC.be competitive in the world marketD.satisfy the demands of businessmen(4).Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?（分数：0.20）A.American political circles will not accept diversity.B.It is unlikely
48、 that diversity will occur in the US media.C.No debate is heard about diversity in minorities.D.Meritocracy can never be realized without diversity.(5).According to the passage, diversity can be achieved in American society by_.（分数：0.20）A.promoting policies that provide skills to employeesB.training
49、 more engineers, scientists and businessmenC.expanding the pool of potential employeesD.providing education for all regardless of race or sex五、Part B(总题数：1，分数：1.00)As any business owner knows, its not easy to keep going when the going gets tough.
