26、The Education Secretary Michael Gove said all schools should follow the example set in the Far East where pupils are expected to follow a longer day and get less time off. In a speech, he warned the current shape of the academic year was created to fit the needs of an agricultural economy, with pupils taking time of in October to help harvest. The lack of time spent in the classroom is particularly damaging to children from poor backgrounds, Mr. Gove said.

Some of the Government's flagship academies- state schools run independent of local council controls- are using their independence to reform the school day, he said. Some open at 8:30 am and expect children to remain until at least 4:30 pm to undertake sport, music and other extra-curricular activities. Other schools such as David Young Community Academy operate four-week summer holidays for fear that children suffer an academic fall during the traditional six-week break.

Mr. Gove said all schools should follow a similar model to enable the nation to catch up with education systems elsewhere in the world. But the calls are likely to infuriate (激怒) teaching unions who are fiercely protective of the six-week summer break which they claim is vital to allow staff to recharge their batteries.

Earlier this month, the National Union of Teachers actually called for a shorter school day. But addressing the Spectator Education Conference in central London, Mr. Gove said a “higher level of effort is expected on behalf of students, parents and teachers” in nations such as Singapore and elsewhere in the Far East.

He insisted the Government was changing teachers' pay and working conditions which meant they could be paid more for taking on extra duties, allowing heads to organize their staff “in a way to get more out of young people”

“The expectation is that to succeed, hard work is at the heart of everything,” he said. “If you look at the length of the school day and summer holiday in England- and we compare it to the extra tuition and support children are receiving elsewhere then we are fighting or actually running in this global race in a way without doubt we start with a significant obstacle (障碍)”

【1】Which of the following is right according to the passage?

A．Some schools in the UK have prolonged the school day.

B．A shorter school day helps employ more young teachers.

C．Teachers in the Far East long to have a longer holiday.

D．A longer school day makes no difference to poor children.

【2】What may the National Union of teachers in the UK expect?

A．A longer summer break.

B．A longer school day.

C．A higher level of effort.

D．A bigger input of tuition

【3】What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?

A．Hard work is at the heart of everything.

B．The length of the school day is disadvantageous to England.

C．England has lost the global race in education.

D．The government offers a higher pay to attract more teachers.

【4】Where is the text most likely from?

A．A work report.

B．A notebook.

C．A biography.

D．A newspaper.

27、"Where there are Chinese speakers, there are his readers." That sentence highlights the huge influence of Louis Cha –Zha Liangyong, better known by his penname Jin Yong, one of the most influential Chinese novelists. Over 300 million copies of his books have been sold in the Chinese-speaking world alone.

Cha died on Tuesday afternoon, at the age of 94 in Hong Kong Sanatorium and Hospital, surrounded by family members, according to sources close to him. This news recorded 1.27 billion views, slightly less than China's population, on Sina Weibo.

In 1955, Cha published his first wuxia novel The Book and the Sword in the then New Evening Post using the penname Jin Yong. He wrote 15 popular wuxia novels, his last, The Deer and the Cauldron, was published in 1972. His novels have been made into films, TV and radio series, and deeply influenced the cultural development of Chinese-speaking communities around the world.

Cha also co-founded Hong Kong's major Chinese-language newspaper Ming Pao in 1959, and served as its editor-in-chief until retiring in 1989. During those 30 years, he wrote more than 7,000 editorials, covering a variety of global and domestic topics.

In May, 1967, when there were violent conflicts between the local police and some striking workers in Hong Kong, Cha wrote editorials all week calling for an end to the violence and for society to unite. In a most important of them, he wrote:

"We come from all regions and now we are one community. Hong Kong is home to us all."

In their condolences to his family, many people called Cha a "hero" even though he considered himself a writer of hero stories.

That's because of the humanistic concerns in both his novels and his newspaper articles. In all his wuxia stories, he shows a strong anti-war tendency. In The Legend of the Condor Heroes, one of his most famous novels, he wrote how Genghis Khan was moved by the hero's words and regretted his killings before his death.

【1】Which of the following best describes Cha's wuxia novels?

A．They are the most popular novels in China.

B．Most of them were published in the then New Evening Post.

C．More than 3,000 million copies of his books have been sold in China.

D．They had a huge influence on Chinese speakers in the world.

【2】Why did people call Cha a "hero"?

A．Because he wrote many stories about heroes.

B．Because he once stopped the conflicts in Hong Kong.

C．Because he was very successful in his career.

D．Because he conveyed humanistic value in his works.

【3】What is the authors’ purpose in writing the text?

A．To highlight Cha's influence on Hong Kong.

B．To introduce the Wuxia novels written by Cha.

C．To remember Cha as a great writer and editor.

D．To promote the values held by Cha.

28、   In the universe, there is the sun, the moon, the earth and many stars. Through our geography lessons, we know the earth goes around the sun, and the moon goes round the earth. We have day and night because the earth keeps turning all the time. When our part of the earth turns to the sun, it is day. When our part of the earth turns away from the sun, it is night. The other part of the earth is always contrary.

Just because the moon is closer to the earth than the sun, it looks much bigger than the sun. Big things will look smaller when they are further, and small things also look bigger when they are nearer.

The sun is big enough to give out very strong light. The moon can’t give any light at all, but it looks quite bright, too. Why? In fact, the light from the moon comes from the sun. The moon looks much bigger and brighter than the stars. But in fact, the stars are much bigger and brighter than the moon. They look smaller than the moon also because they are further away from the earth.

Earth is so important because living things and people can only live on the earth. And some countries have sent astronauts to the space to learn more about the universe. At 9:00 a.m. on October 15th, 2003, Chinese astronaut Yang Liwei was sent up to space. He stayed there for 21 hours. It was the first time for Chinese to get into space.

【1】We find the sun is ________ than the moon because it is ________ to us.

A．bigger; farther

B．smaller; closer

C．bigger; closer

D．smaller; farther

【2】When did the astronaut from our country return to the earth?

A．On November 15th, 2002.

B．On October 16th, 2003.

C．On May 15th, 2004.

D．On October 15th, 2003.

【3】Which of the best title of the passage?

A．The moon goes around the earth, and the earth goes round the sun.

B．The sun gives out strong light while the moon can’t.

C．All the living things and people can only live on the earth.

D．The sun, the moon and the earth.

29、We all know about the health benefits of swimming. It offers a great workout for the body—it builds endurance, muscle strength and cardiovascular fitness. If you don’t mind getting wet, it can be fun too. 【1】 Well, many people are fond of it, based on evidence that it can actually be good for us.

Cold-water swimming—sometimes called wild swimming—involves swimming in natural areas including ponds, rivers and the sea. Jumping in gives a short sharp shock to the body, 【2】 A cold dip might wake you up, but research has found it can have much bigger benefits than that for your body and mind. As well as being good exercise, spending time outdoors and by water improves wellbeing.

【3】 One man who suffered constant pain after surgery claimed he was cured by taking a plunge in cold open water. And another swimmer, Sandria Simons, told the BBC “the immersion4 of your body in cold, salt water, just feeling like you’re at one with nature if you like, just feels amazing.”

But what is it that people are gaining from this chilly experience? Doctors say getting into cold water arouses a stress response, but the more you do it, your reaction to stress is reduced. It’s also thought to have a strong anti-inflammatory effect. But there are bigger benefits to this stress-reducing exercise. Some experts believe cold-water swimming helps ‘cross-adaptation’, where one form of stress prepares the body for another. 【4】

So, if you’ re convinced that this is for you, take advice: approach it with caution, swim with a friend, and maybe start in the summer, 【5】

A．but many participants say they get used to it.

B．when the water temperatures are higher!

C．Swimming is good exercise, in part because it is fun.

D．But who would enjoy swimming in water that’s ice cold?

E．Cold weather limits the months when ocean or lake swimming is possible.

F．There is much evidence suggesting cold-water swimming’s benefits.

G．For example, it also helps reduce the stress of exercising at high altitude.

I _________ walked in this park with Rex --- a friendly, harmless little dog; and _______ we rarely met anyone in the park, I took Rex along without a leash(狗绳).

“Well, now,” the policeman responded in a soft tone, “I know it’s a ________ to let a little dog like that have a run out here when nobody is around.”

“Sure it is,” I replied, “____________ it is against the law.”

“Well, a little dog like that isn’t going to harm anybody,” the policeman protested.

“No, but he may kill __________,” I said.

“Well now, I think you are taking this a bit too seriously,” he told me.

“I’ll tell you what you do. You just let him run over the hill there where I can’t see him --- and we’ll forget all about it.”
