17、s a land of extremes where the best of things are just as easily found as the worst. This is a cliche (陈词滥调 ). In the land of black and white, people should not be too surprised to find some of the gaps between the rich and the poor in the world. But the American Dream offers a way out to everyone.

18、【 B1】 _ No class system or government stands in the way. Sadly, this old argument is no longer true.

19、e median US family income has gone up 18 percent. For the top 1 percent, however, it has gone up 200 per cent.

21、percent of the population, it is the highest percentage in the developed world. Yet the tax burden on America s rich is falling, not growing.【 B5】 _ There was an economic theory holding that the rich spending more would benefit everyone as a whole.

29、 37 【 C7】 38 【 C8】 39 【 C9】 40 【 C10】 Part A Directions: Read the following three texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 40 Rowena and Billy Wrangler are model high school students. They study hard and do extremely well on achievement

30、tests. And next year, Rowena 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 Ro

31、wena nor Billy feels as if 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 t

32、heir children out of public 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

33、 places. But can parents really 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

34、knowledge. “They are very well 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 schoo

35、ling. Still, not every student 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 f

36、ewer chances to interact with 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.“ 41 Compared with other students, the most different thing Ro

37、wena and Billy do is that_. （ A） they study hard （ B） they do extremely well on achievement tests （ C） they never go to school （ D） they feel they have gotten a good education 42 At first in the 1980s parents gave home-schooling to children for_. （ A） better education （ B） religious education （ C） s

39、 to good universities. 44 The writer thinks_. （ A） parents can do a better job than schools （ B） home-schooling will be more and more useful （ C） students taught at home make greater achievements （ D） home-schooling is good in some aspects 45 The best title of this text might be_. （ A） Home-schoolin

40、g: A Growing Trend （ B） Home-schooling: A Better Choice （ C） Home-schooling: A Way to Success （ D） Home-schooling: A New Method of Education 45 A smile is a strong sign of a friendly and open attitude and a willingness to communicate. It is a positive, silent sign sent with the hope the other person

41、 will smile back. When you smile, you show you have noticed the person in a positive way. The result? That person will usually smile back. You might not realize a closed position is the cause of many conversational problems. A common closed position is sitting with your arms and legs crossed and you

42、r hand covering your mouth or chin. This is often called the “thinking pose“. Ask yourself this question; Are you going to interrupt someone who appears to be deep in thought? This position gives off “stay away“ signs and prevents your main “ sign sender“ ( your mouth) from being seen by others look

43、ing for inviting conversational signs. The open body position is most effective when you place yourself within communicating distance of the other person that is, within about five feet. Take care, however, not to enter someone s “personal space by getting too close, too soon. Leaning forward a litt

44、le while a person is talking shows your interest and how you are listening to what the person is saying. By doing this, you are saying: I hear what youre saying, and Im interested in keep talking! Often people will lean back with their hands over their mouth, chin, or behind their head in the “think

45、ing“ pose. This position gives off signs of judgment, doubt, and lack of interest from the listener. Since most people do not feel comfortable when they think they are being judged, this leaning-back position serves to prevent the speaker from continuing. In many cultures the most common form of fir

46、st contact between two people is a handshake. Be the first to extend your hand in greeting. Couple this with a friendly “Hello“, a nice smile, and your name and you have made the first step to open the lines of communication. Eye contact should be natural, not forced or overdone.
