27、n the early 1950s, my father quit his job to start his own company. However, he got a heart attack and was sent to hospital. After three years of therapy, he moved us to New York, where he got a sales job with the English carmaker Jaguar. One of the jobs perks(额外津贴 ) was the car he was given to driv

28、e. It was a two-tone Mark IX, the last of the elegant rounded Jaguars. It looked like it belonged to a movie star. Every morning my father would drop me off at school in his Jaguar before going to work. Being the son of a blacksmith(铁匠 ), he was proud of the car and thought I should be proud to be d

29、riven to school in it. He loved it very much. But the car embarrassed me. After the years of illness and debt, we probably didnt have any more money than the mostly working-class kids at school. But we had a Jaguar, so we might as well have been Rockefellers. The car separated me from others, especi

30、ally from Danny Kowalski. He was what they called a juvenile delinquent in those days. He was high and had blond hair. It was rumoured he always carried a knife and maybe even a gun. Every morning Danny would stand silently in the same spot by the school fence and watch me climb out of my two-tone J

31、aguar. I knew he hated the car and that he hated me, and that one day he would beat me up. My father died just months later. We lost the car, of course, and soon Id have to go live with my grandmother. Before then, Mrs. Ritchfield, an elderly neighbour, offered to walk me to school the day after the

32、 funeral. As we arrived that morning, I could see Danny standing at the school fence, same as always. But this time, as I passed him in the company of my elderly neighbour and no elitist English car, I left as if a wall between us came down. Now I was more like Danny, more his friends. We were final

33、ly equals. Relieved, I walked into the schoolyard. And that was morning Danny Kowalski beat me up. 46 According to the author, which of the following statements is NOT true about their car-Jaguar? （ A） It was given to his father as an extra payment. （ B） It was loved by his father. （ C） It made the

34、author really proud. （ D） The car was very elegant and fashionable. 47 We can learn from the fourth paragraph that （ A） the author looked down upon the other working-class kids （ B） most working-class kids had got expensive cars （ C） the authors family was then as rich as Rockefellers （ D） the autho

35、rs family had been involved in great debts during the past years 48 In the sixth paragraph, by saying Danny Kowalski hated him very much and would beat him up one day, the author most probably implied_. （ A） Danny was cynical(愤世嫉俗的 ) about his expensive car （ B） Danny was selfish （ C） Danny was his

36、best friend （ D） Danny did not like him 49 When Mrs. Ritchfield walked him to school the day after the funeral, the author felt_. （ A） embarrassed by no elitist English car （ B） inferior to Danny and his friends （ C） relieved for being equals with Danny and his friends （ D） extremely sensitive about

37、 the loss of an expensive car 50 What is the best title for this passage? （ A） Danny （ B） A Car （ C） My Father （ D） My Story 50 Antinuclcar campaigners plan to announce that a new study shows that infant death rates downwind of eight American nuclear power plants dropped significant after they were

38、shut down. Some plan to use the findings to support calls for closing the nuclear reactors at Indian Point( A nuclear power station is U. S. A. ), the plant closest to New York City. But federal officials, some radiation experts and representatives of the nuclear plants and that minute, occasional r

39、eleases from such plants were much lower than natural radiation levels, The new statistical study, which is being published in Archives of Environmental Health, was conducted by a group of scientists who for many years have intended to show a link between mortality and illness and low levels of radi

40、ation from power plants, bomb tests and other sources. The study said the infant death rate in communities for two years before the plant shutdowns averaged 8.44 deaths per l, 000 births and, when all the mortality data for two years after the plant shutdowns were combined, the infant mortality rate

41、 dropped to 7.01 per l, 000 births. The difference was statistically significant, the authors said, and the drop was greater than the general drop in infant death rates around the country in recent years. Joseph Mangano, a public health statistician and the national coordinator for the group, said a

42、 statistical link does not prove a cause and effect, but points to the need for more work. He said,“ The list is literally endless. This doesnt mean weve proved anything beyond a shadow of a doubt, but what I will say is we really need to do more follow-up.“ 51 The new study was conducted by_. （ A）

43、the government （ B） radiation experts （ C） antinuclear campaigners （ D） public health statisticians 52 The federal officials argued that_. （ A） infant death the rate is not reliable （ B） the little radiation cannot threaten health （ C） infant death rate has nothing to do with nuclear plants （ D） the

44、 modem nuclear plants can avoid releases 53 From the report, we can conclude that_. （ A） the study revealed the relation between infant deaths and nuclear plants （ B） the study contained infant deaths of many years before the plant closed （ C） the reduction of infant deaths was steady （ D） the scien

45、tists have not drawn a clear conclusion 54 In Joseph Manganos opinion_. （ A） the study is worth researching deeply （ B） it is no use to study （ C） we need not pay attention to the report （ D） the unclear plants should be alarmed by the report 55 According to the passage, it can be inferred that_. （

46、A） many unclear plants will be shut down gradually （ B） the release of Indian Point nuclear plant is serious （ C） infant death rate study is the main task of the Archives of Environmental Health （ D） no one makes sure that the nuclear radiation causes infant deaths 55 Teaching children to read well

47、from the start is the most important task of elementary schools. But relying on educators to approach this task correctly can be a great mistake. Many schools continue to employ instructional methods that have been proven ineffective. The staying power of the “look-say“ or“ whole-word“ method of tea

48、ching beginning reading is perhaps the most flagrant example of this failure to instruct effectively. The whole-word approach to reading stresses the meaning of words over the meaning of letters, thinking over decoding, developing a sight vocabulary of familiar words over developing the ability to u

49、nlock the pronunciation of unfamiliar words. It fits in with. the selfdirected, “learning how to learn“ activities recommended by advocates (倡导者 ) of“ open“ classrooms and with the concept that children have to be developmentally ready to begin reading. Before 1963, no major publisher put out anything but these“Run-Spot-Run“readers. However, in 1955, Rudolf Flesch touched off what has been called“ the great debate“ in beg
