Passage one

Questions 1 to 5 are besed on the following passage:

A

quality

education

is

the

ultimate

liberator.

It

can

free

people

form

poverty,giveing

them

the

power

to

greatly

improve

thier

lives

and

take

a

productive

place

in

society.

It

can

also

free

communities

and

countries,

allowing

them

to

leap

forward

into

periods

ofg

wealth

and

social

unity

that

otherwisewould

not

be

possible.

For

this

reason,the

international

community

has

committed

itself

to

getting

all

the

world's children into primary school by 2015, a commitment known as Education for

All.

Can Education for All be achieved by 2015? The answer is definitely

“

yes

”

,

although it is a difficult task. If we now measure the goal in terms of children

success fully completing a minimum of five yeas of primary school, instead of just

enrolling for classes, which used to be the measuring stick for education, the

challenge

will

become

even

more

difficult.

Only

32

countries

were

formerly

believed

to be at risk of not achieving education for all on the basis of enrollment rates.

The

number

rises

to

88

if

completion

rates

are

used

as

the

,

the

goai

is achievable with the rigt policies and the right support form the international

community.

59 of

the 88

countries at risk can

reah universal primary

completion by

2015 if

they

bring the

efficiency and quality of their education

systems into line

with standards

observed

in higher-perforrming also need significant

increasesin external(

外部的

)financing and technical support. The 29 countries

lagging(

落后

) farthest behind wll not reach the goal without unp recedented(

空前

的

)ra tes

of

progress.

But

this

is

attainable

with

creative

solutions,

including

the

use

of

information

technologies,flexible

and

targeted

foreign

aid,

and

fewer

people

living in poverty.

A key lesson of experience about what makes development effective is that a

country'to

use

aid

well

depends

heavily

on

its

policies,institutions

and

a country scores well on these standards, foreign assistance can

be highly effective.

can be inferred from the passage that a quality education has the function

Passage Two

Questiongs 6 to 10 are besed on the following passag:

This thanksgiving ,mang families are closer than they've been in years. An

increasing

number

of

extended

families

across

the

USA

are

under

the

same

roof

living

together

These

arrangements

are

multigenerational,

with

adut

children,

grandchildren or an elderly parent sharing quarters. The reasons are economic and

social.

“

This is a pattern that will continue,

”

predicts Neil Howe, a historian and

economist.

”

High rates of multigenerational family living had been a norm until

after World War II,when the emphasis shifted to the nuclear family enabled by

construction

of

interstate

highways,

the

rise

of

suburbs

and

the

affluence(

富裕

)of

young

adults.

But

by

the

late

1950s,

there

was

a

generration

gap

and

almost

generation

war

,

”

Howe

says.

“

There

was

a

time

in

the

1970s

when

no

one

wanted

to

live

together.

Seniors

were

moving

to

Leisure

World

to

get

away

from

the

culture

of

the

s

were

divorcing

and

youngsters

wanted

to

strike

out

on

their

own.

But

now,

many

young

adults do return home, at least temporaaily .

”

Michele

Beatty,

54,

of Waynesville

Ohio,

and

her

husband,

Cordon,

56,

had

an

empty nest between the time the youngest of their three sons went to college and

the return of their oldest, Patrick, who left his jod as a graphic designer.

“

They said, 'you can come home to your old room and continue to look for

employment,

'”

says

Patrick

Beatty,28.

“

I

was

stuck

there.

We

were

all

brought

up

with the cultural expectation that once you leave the nest, you are not supposed

to return.. I feel part of the time like a burden,

”

he says.

“

I try to contrbute

to the house when Ican. I try to stay out of their way as much as possible. It 's

home , but not the home I'd be building for myself if I had my way .

”

A survey of 2 , 226 adults, done by Narris Interactive for the non-porfit

Generations United, found that of those in a multigenerational home , 40%reported

that jod loss , changes in jod status or unemployment was a reason for the living

Passage Three

Questions11 to 15 are based on the following passage:

Researchers at the University of Maryland's School of Nursing found that 55

percent of the 2, 103 female nurses they surveyed were odese(

肥胖的

), citing job

stress and the effect on sleep of long , irregular work hours as the cause.

The study, which measured obesity using estimates of body mass index(

体质指

数

)

，

found that nursing schedules affected not only the health of the nures but

the quality of care .

“

Health

care

professionals

are

often

involved

in

provding

advice

or

care

to

patients

that relates

to things that aren't totally under control in their own lives. It's not uniform

for health care professionals to eat

well

or avoid tobacco,

”

said Dr. David Katz,

the director of the Yale University Prevention Research Center.

Keith-Thomas Ayoob , associate professor at the Albert Einstein College of

Medicine , said nurses are jsut as susceptible to health problems as the rest of

society.

“

Before we were health professionals , we were real people. Just because we

became

health

professionals

doesn't

mean

we

stopped

being

members

of

regular

society

with allthe problems that go along with it . It illustrates that knowledge alone

isn's always enough to produce behaiioral changes,

”

said Ayoob.

The same is true with smoking ,Ayoob said.

“

We all konw smoking is bad . It doesn'matter if you're a doctor ora nurse or

a

plumber.

You

might

assume

that

your

interest

in

health

would

be

higher

if

you

were

a health professional, but a lot of doctors and nures smoke,

”

said Ayoob.

“

Nurses

need

to

understand

the

importance

of

taking

care

of

themselves

before

patients or their families,

”

Ayoob said.

To

combat

the

high

obesity

rate

among

nurses,

Kihye

Han

,

the

author

of

the

study

,

proposed more education on good sleep habits, and better strategies for adapting

word

schedules.

She

also

called

for

napping

at

work

to

relive

sleep

deprivation(

睡

眠不足

)

，

reduce fatigue and increase engery.

11. One of the causes of the high obesity rate among nurses is .

A. heavy smoking B. nursing schedules

C. less education D. unhealthy food

saying

“

It's not

uniform for

health care

tobacco

Passage Four

Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:

A new study shows an astonishing number of people are using their cellphones

on the john(

盥洗室

)

。

Form web brows an texting to conference calls and online

shopping ,it seems this technology- driven no time for bathroom breaks.

11

mark

,

an

integrated

marketing

agency,

surveyed

1

,000

American

mobile

users

in October. Seventy-five percent of them admitted they used their phones while on

the toilet-leaving no mystery as to what happens behind closed stalls.

And this doesn 't just account for the technology-addicted youth. Forty-seven

percent

of

mobile

users

from

the

Silent

Generation

(born

1946

or

berof

),

65

percent

of Baby Boomers(1946-1964) and 80 percent of Gen X-ers(1965-1976) use their cell

phones in the bathroom.

But expected , Generation Y has the highest percentage of multitaskers ,using

their phones and the john at the same time.

Did

the

same

percentage

of

Gen

Y

wash

their

hands

afterward?

Ninety-two

percent

of

those

surveyed

reported

they

washed

their

hands

after

using

the

restroom

(perhaps

all those

“

You must wash your hands befor reurning to work

”

signs have started

to pay off).

But unfortunately the same cannot be said for mobile devices--only 14 percent

wash their phones after using the bathroom .Maybe this calls for a new-age health

intiative , requiring public restaurants to change their signs to

“

You must wash

your hands---and your phone

—

before retuning to work.

”

And for many , toilet talking and texting was not a just one-time thing , used

only

in

the

most
