26、   During the high school career, students may begin to question the importance of a college education. They might find themselves asking, “Why is it important to go to college?” The answer is that, more than ever, college graduates enjoy much greater opportunities available to them than those who have not received a college education.

For many high school students, being able to immediately generate an income after graduation is an appealing thought. They may also be affected by the rising cost of tuition, and while it is true that a higher education may be one of the largest expenses you will ever face, the importance of a college education has become quite evident in terms of earning potential within today’s economy.

Why should you go to college? One important answer to this question is more opportunity. As opposed to generations of the past, high school graduates today are unable to obtain high-paying jobs that were once available. The U.S. has been transformed from a manufacturing-based economy to an economy based on knowledge, and the importance of a college education today can be compared to that of a high school education forty years ago. It serves as the gateway to better options and more opportunity.

There are additional reasons as to why it is important to go to college. When students experience a post secondary education, they have the opportunity to read books and listen to the lectures of top experts in their fields. This encourages students to think, ask questions, and explore new ideas, which allows for additional growth and development and provides college graduates with more opportunities in the job market over those who have not experienced a higher education.

The importance of a college education is also stressed because of the opportunity to gain valuable resources during the study. The more connections which are collected during your college career, the more options you will have when you begin your job search. Once you have ended your job search and have started your career, however, the importance of a college education has not been exhausted. Having a college degree often provides for greater promotion opportunity.

So, why should you go to college? The reasoning does not begin and end with the job aspect. A good education is beneficial from many different viewpoints, and though the importance of a college education is quite evident for many high school students, what is often not as clear is how they will pay for that education.

【1】Why do some high school graduates prefer working to college study?

A.To obtain high-paying jobs. B.To earn money at an early age.

C.To spend less money on tuition. D.To adapt to the knowledge-based society.

【2】The author most likely agrees with the idea that ____.

A.too much time is spent on lectures in college study

B.high school education is a gateway to more opportunity

C.college graduates gain more chances over others in job market

D.a college degree guarantees promotion in American companies

【3】What is most likely to be talked about in the paragraph after the last paragraph of the passage?

A.Refusing college education. B.Changing college education.

C.Receiving college education. D.Affording college education.

【4】What can be the best title for the passage?

A.Importance of college education. B.Education means opportunity.

C.Which is more important, job or education? D.How to survive in the college.

【5】Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage?

I: Introduction   P: Point   Sp: Sub-point (次要点)   C: Conclusion

A. B.

C. D.

27、   “Nature never stops being amazing,” says Rosemary Mosco, master of humorous nature art. Her new book, Birding Is MyFavorite Video Game, combines fascinating facts with charming pictures, and it's guaranteed to make you laugh. In fact, the learning and laughing are both equally important to Rosemary.

“There's so much to love about birds,” notes Rosemary. “I admire that they're real-life, modern dinosaurs! As an artist, I'm captivated by their color variations. Once you get into birds, the interest snowballs. You can find them almost everywhere. You start to notice subtle behaviors and wing patterns. You're never bored again. Teaching a kid to watch birds is a huge gift.”

Birds make regular appearances in Rosemary's nature art comics. She created charts explaining the songs and calls of common eastern and western birds. One of her most popular pieces is a flow chart helping you to decide whether or not to help a baby bird fallen from a nest. And her own personal favorite cartoon is about tiny owls, meant to be both motivational and mildly disturbing. Rosemary explains: “One reader asked me if we had any evidence that these owls can kill and eat a moose. My response was, not yet…”

Rosemary loves other animals, and is especially proud of a poster she drew showing every snake in the US and Canada. She also has a real soft spot for butterflies. “Their behaviors can be surprisingly complex,” she points out. “They defend habitats with dogfights. They have complex relationships with poisonous plants. Some of them eat waste and drink tears. Oh, and it helps that they pose nicely for photos.”

Mostly self-taught, Rosemary has taken a few art courses, even studying video game art for a bit. During her career, she's created many educational charts, and has been working on some children's science books. She also has an upcoming comics novel about the solar system.

“I'm excited to share more stories about the natural world.” Rosemary says about the future of her nature art comics. “Humor gives science wings!”

【1】What is the main feature of Rosemary's comics?

A.A novel of ecology and cartoons. B.A combination of nature art and science.

C.A mixture of entertainment and education. D.A book of interesting facts and behavior charts.

【2】What does the underlined word "captivated" mean in Paragraph 2?

A.Puzzled. B.Attracted. C.Shocked. D.Encouraged.

【3】The purpose of writing Paragraph 4 is to   .

A.share the content of Rosemary's comics B.explain the popularity of Rosemary's art

C.prove the hardship of Rosemary's creation D.disclose the source of Rosemary's inspiration

【4】What is Rosemary most likely to do next?

A.Take some art courses. B.Write a new birding book.

C.Draw the sun humorously. D.Observe moose's behavior.

28、   A campaign （活动）is being launched to encourage children to give up 30 minutes of screen time a day to head for the great outdoors.

The newly formed Wild Network — a cooperation of nearly 400 organisations --- is trying to attract teenagers away from television and computer screen and into fields, woods and parks. Organisers say that it is the UK's biggest ever campaign to reconnect children with nature and outdoor play, and that it could help improve fitness, mental（精神的）health and general well  being. A documentary film, Project Wild Thing, will announce the launch at more than 50 cinemas across the UK from Friday. It looks at the increasingly weak link between children and nature.

Andy Simpson, chairman of the Wild Network, said: "The sad truth is that kids have lost touch with nature. Time spent outdoors is down, activity areas and levels are falling strongly and the ability to identify common species （物种）has been lost."

Suggestions of how to get more time in nature include camping or racing and observing autumn colour on trees and so on. From January, the network will aim to make suggestions to politicians on how government can do more to get children muddy （沾满泥污的）and bright¬-eyed.

This is not the first time the message of less screen, more play has been brought up. Children in the 1980s were asked to do the same by the BBC TV series Why Don't You, which somewhat confusingly called on its viewers to "switch off your TV set, and do something less boring instead".

【1】The purpose of the campaign is to call on kids____________.

A.to love animals B.to play outdoors

C.to give up screens D.to protect nature

【2】What may make Andy Simpson sad?

A.Kids' disability to name some creatures.

B.The falling duration of Rids' vacations.

C.Strict rules on kids' outdoor activities.

D.The disappearance of common species.

【3】What does the network appeal to the government to do?

A.Reconnect kids with nature. B.Provide kids with more mud.

C.Take measures to protect kids. D.Pay attention to eye protection.

【4】Why does the author mention the BBC TV series?

A.To tell the development of BBC TV series.

B.To prove the recognition of his suggestion.

C.To show the TV series caused confusion.

D.To compare present TV series with old ones.
