6.选择题

　　Jim Thorpe was a Native American. He was born in 1888 in an Indian Territory(印第安人保护区)that is now Oklahoma. Like most Native American children then, he liked to fish, hunt, swim, and play games outdoors. He was healthy and strong, but he had very little formal education. In 1950, Jim Thorpe was named the greatest American football player. He was also an Olympic gold medal winner. But Thorpe had many tragedies in his life.

　　Jim had a twin brother who died when he was nine years old. By the time he was 16, his mother and father were also dead, Jim then went to a special school in Pennsylvania for Native American children. There, he learned to read and write and also began to play sports. Jim was poor, so he left school for two years to earn some money. During this time, he played on a baseball team. The team paid him only $15 a week. Soon he returned to school to complete his education. Jim was a star athlete (运动员) in several sports, including baseball, running, and football. He won many awards for his athletic ability, mainly for football. In many games, he scored all or most of the points for his team.

　　In 1912, when Jim Thorpe was 24 years old, he became part of the U.S Olympic team. He competed in two very difficult events: the pentathlon and the decathlon. Both require great ability and strength. The pentathlon has five track and field events, including the long jump and the 1500-meter race. The decathlon has ten track and field events, with running, jumping and throwing contests.

　　People thought it was impossible for an athlete to compete in both the pentathlon and the decathlon. So everyone was surprised when Thorpe won gold medals in both events. When the King of Sweden presented Thorpe with his two gold medals, he said, “Sir, you are the greatest athlete in the world.” Thorpe was a simple and honest man. He just answered, “Thanks, King.”

　　1. From the passage we learn that Jim Thorpe was born in    1    .

　　Since its founding in 1948, McDonald's has grown from a family burger（汉堡包）stand to a global fast-food chain, with more than 30,000 locations in 118 countries.

　　With 58 million daily customers worldwide, McDonald's is now so ubiquitous around the globe that The Economist publishes a global ranking of currencies' purchasing power based on the prices charged at the local McDonald's, called the Big Mac Index（巨无霸指数）.That's not to say that every nation carries the same menu items: choices vary widely depending on location. Some Asian locations serve fried shrimp in a Big Mac roll, while McDonald's in India doesn't serve beef at all, relying instead on burgers made from vegetables, rice and beans.

　　Not everyone in the world has been happy to greet Ronald McDonald when he moves to town. Many see McDonald's as a symbol of American economic and cultural chauvinism（沙文主义）, and European nations in particular have viewed American-style fast food as an insult to their national food. A French farmer, Jose Bove, became something of a national hero in 1999 after he and a group of people destroyed a McDonald's under construction to protest globalization and “bad food.” The next year, a bomb exploded in a French McDonald's, killing a 27-year-old employee. No one claimed responsibility.

But regardless of whether you like their food or their policies, McDonald's is still widely seen as one of the true pioneers of peaceful globalization.

　　1. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE    1    

　　A. McDonald's was founded in 1948.

　　B. McDonald's has opened its restaurants in every city of the world.

　　C. McDonald's has over 30,000 locations in the world now.

　　2. The word ubiquitous in Paragraph 2 is most likely to mean    2    .

　　A. very crowded 

　　B. very clean

　　C. existing everywhere

　　3. From Paragraph 2, we can conclude that    3    .

　　A. McDonald's designs its menu to suit the local people

　　B. millions of young adults got their first job with McDonald's

　　C. the McDonald's menu sticks to old-fashioned favorites such as the Big Mac

　　4. What did Jose Bove and his people do in 1999 to protest against McDonald's    4    

　　A. They destroyed a McDonald's under construction.

　　B. They protested outside a McDonald's.

　　C. They refused to go to a newly-built McDonald's.

　　5. In    5    , an employee died in a fatal bomb attack on a McDonald's restaurant in France.

　　A. 1998

　　B. 1999

　　C. 2000

　　The National Union of Students (NUS) welcomes the news that greater numbers of black and disabled students are studying at UK universities, but there is still a lot of work to be done on widening access, writes the union's president, Gemma Tumelty.

　　A recent Department of Communities and Local Government (DCLG) equalities review showed that significant numbers of potential students felt their disability was    1    to accessing higher education (HE). This is simply unacceptable. 

　　Equality and diversity is not entirely a “numbers game” and before too much praise is given we need to hear more from    2    , not just about their experience of accessing higher education but also going through the system.

　　Equality in society is absolutely, and fundamentally, linked to    3    .

　　   4    , university is the place where they will be first exposed to different cultures and    5    . As well as fighting for better access, the NUS wants to see diversity properly valued and promoted within the student experience. Many pay lip service to the value of diversity, but is this recognized and promoted as a core asset to those who go through the HE system 

　　Equality in society can be promoted by equality and diversity at university. But the benefits of university as a positive, diverse environment must be seen by students as adding “value” as much as any other factors before the numbers game is really won by the champions of diversity.

E. in part because of this

　　Education and academic quality can mean different things to different people, depending on their perspective, role and context and,    1    , quality is notoriously difficult to evaluate. The question of how to do this has been pursued for many years.

　　Nevertheless, the goal of improving educational quality is agreed by all and stimulated further by the recent worldwide economic downturn and the need to counteract the impact of    2    and prepare for economic recovery.

　　As the World Bank and UNESCO said 10 years ago: “The quality of knowledge generated within higher education institutions, and its availability to the wider economy, is becoming increasingly critical to national competitiveness.” They also rightly emphasized that “   3    at the national level opens up the possibility that substantial additional public benefits can be realized through international links.”

　　This is precisely why    4    should contribute to these global benefits, reforming and improving evaluation systems for educational and academic quality. Original and good research, especially in science, economics and social sciences, has a trickle-down effect on society. And it offers additional benefits    5    , though international collaboration and exchange of the best evaluation policy and practice can bring substantial advantages to all partners in relation to lessons learned elsewhere.

　　All communication begins with the sender and ends with the receiver. The sender is responsible for successful conveyance. The sender's personality, beliefs, cultural and educational background all influence the message and it is important for the sender to be aware of this as he or she is encoding the message. Simply put, encoding is translating information into symbols that represent the ideas or concepts of the message that needs sending. These symbols are usually words in written or spoken form. To ensure successful communication, the sender should know as much about his or her audience – the receiver – as possible in order to focus and support the encoding process.

　　In addition to this awareness of self and encoding, the sender must choose the proper channel for conveying the message. Using the wrong channel may result in miscommunication. Like the sender, receivers are influenced by internal factors: their personality, their receptivity to the message or their relationship to the sender. Additionally, their current feelings, mood, or state of mind can affect a message. Once the message moves through the channel, the receiver then decodes it. The receiver uses his or her own experience and the context of the message to interpret its meaning.

　　Feedback is the return message from the receiver to the sender. It is feedback that enables the sender to know whether the message was received successfully or not. Therefore it is essential to the communication process.

　　This process, though very common, is fraught with potential breakdown at every turn. Spoken or written language is inherently easy to misinterpret. In conclusion, effective and successful Communication takes place when the message is successfully received and the receiver provides the sender with desirable feedback.

　　1. The sender's gender also influences the message.   1    

　　2. Encoding is a process that translating information into symbols which serve as the ideas or concepts of the message that will be sent later.   2    

　　3. These symbols are usually words and sentences in written form.   3    

　　4. Channel is not crucial for conveying the message.   4    

　　5. Feedbacks enable the sender to know whether the receiver has received the message successfully or not.   5

　　When Bill de Blasio ran for New York City mayor last year, he promised to end a controversial （有争议的）, citywide cell-phone ban（禁令）in public schools, which is not equally enforced in all schools. Now, under his leadership, the city is preparing to end the ban. It will be replaced by a policy that allows phones inside schools but tells students to keep them packed away during class.

　　Many schools have a rule about enforcing the ban that says, “If we don't see it, we don't know about it.” That means teachers are OK with students bringing in cell phones, as long as they stay out of sight and inside bags and pockets.

　　But at the 88 city schools with metal detectors, die ban has been strictly enforced. The detectors were installed to keep weapon out of schools，but the scanners（扫描器）can also detect cell phones. So students at these schools must leave their phones at home or pay someone to store it for them.

　　The ban was put into place in 2007 under mayor Michael Bloomberg. Ending the ban will also likely end an industry that has sprung up near dozens of the schools that enforce the ban. Workers in vans（厢式货车）that resemble food tracks store teens' cell phones and Other devices for a dollar a day,

　　Critics of the ban say cell phones are important safety devices for kids during an emergency. They also say that enforcement of the ban is uneven and discriminatory. Where the ban is enforced, it puts a disadvantage on students who can't afford to pay to store their phones.

　　Before putting an official end to the cell-phone ban, city education officials are working on creating a new policy. It will include rules about not using the phones during class or to cheat on tests.

　　1. Which of the following is the main idea of the passage    1    

　　A. New York City will give financial aid to poor students.

　　B. New York City plans to restrict cell phone use in libraries.

　　C. New York City will soon end a ban on cell phones in schools.

　　2. Students pay    2    a day to leave their cell phones in a van parked near their school.

　　A. a dollar

　　B. two dollars

　　C. five dollars

　　3. Metal detectors were installed in 88 city schools, mainly to keep    3    out of schools.

　　A. cell phones

　　B. weapons

　　C. drugs

　　4. The word discriminatory in Paragraph 5 probably means    4    .

　　A. necessary

　　B. tough

　　C. unfair

　　5. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE    5    

　　A. After the cell-phone ban is ended, students can use their phones during class.

　　B. The cell-phone ban is equally enforced in all public schools.

　　C. A phone-storage industry has appeared outside the 88 metal-detector campuses.

6.选择题

　　Imagine a school that expected its students to become literate(有读写能力的) without any formal instruction. Most parents would be alarmed by such an approach, which would leave their children confused and with gaps in their understanding. This however has been the philosophy on character development in many of our schools. Why is the development of character seen as somehow different from the other skills that we teach?

　　Of course there will always be learning by osmosis(耳濡目染)in any school, but as a teacher and primary school head I have found that a child's moral literacy is strengthened when they acquire the building blocks of good character such as consideration, courage and honor: qualities which are commonly known as virtue(美德).

　　I personally find that exploring a virtue over a two-week period provides a simple and effective program that allows for the creative input of both teacher and student and a chance for the virtue to embed(使融入)itself. Once a lesson on a virtue such as honesty has been completed we need to allow time for children to practice this concept just as would be the case with fractions or verbs. Allowing children to role play a situation such as making up excuses to cover a mistake can be enormously interesting, and the drama can be frozen allowing the characters to be questioned about their feelings and motives. It's also a safe way for children to experience for themselves how a lie usually goes out of control.

　　Our role as educators is also to look for opportunities to help our students as they attempt to strengthen their characters. When something goes wrong we guide the young person to the virtue that will prevent it from happening again. For instance, when am student thoughtlessly disturbs the calm atmosphere of the library, instead of a response such as, "that was really disrespectful and selfish of you!" we draw out from them the required virtue: "When you're walking through the library, what virtues do you need to use?"

　　1. Which of the following is the main idea of this passage?   1    

　　A. Teaching morals and values has been a frequently discussed topic in the past few years. 

　　B. The author and his staff embed virtues into lessons and school life to encourage character development in children.

　　C. Kids throughout the population face the same needs, the same challenges, and the same realities in their lives.

　　2. We can infer from the first paragraph that    2    .

　　A. there tends to be disagreement about what character education is

　　B. most parents are not satisfied with the teaching methods adopted in schools

　　C. the approach to character education is generally considered different from the approaches to other skills

　　3. The word "philosophy" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to    3    .

　　A. study

　　B. subject

　　C. viewpoint?

　　4. The author is a    4    .

　　A. teacher

　　B. librarian

　　C. reporter?

　　5. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as a way to build character in children?   5    

　　A. Story readings and discussions.

　　B. Osmosis.

　　C. Taking every opportunity to teach character.

Alternative Legal Billing – Win Strategies

　　Hourly billing is the best way to be charged for legal services. About 95 percent of lawyers still perform their legal work on an hourly basis. If you want something better than the old “bill by the hour” deal, try presenting one of these billing structures.

Project billing for routine issues

　　If your legal needs include large but repetitive tasks, consider a flat-fee approach. Once you get a project billing estimate, don't hesitate to shop around to compare prices and services with other law firms. A firm may provide a better deal if it expects future work from your company.

Results-oriented options

　　“Pay-according-to-success” is one choice. It considers fees based on the outcome of the case and the performance of your counsel. Contingency fees turn the matter into a shared risk or shared encouragement, making the law firm your business partner, not just representation.

Multi-layered tasks

　　If you're shopping for a firm for actual legal work involving a number of legal specialties, consider using blended hourly fees. The firm calculates in advance an “average” rate based on the anticipated time each lawyer spends on the matter.

　　This arrangement helps the client to avoid paying a senior partner's hourly rate for research that should be conducted by a junior associate.

　　Legal “Insurance”

　　The contract fee allows the client to pick up the phone and talk to the lawyer without needing to eye the clock. This approach works like a legal insurance policy. It encourages companies to contact their counsel on non-litigation, non-crisis matters, and to save money in the long run by engaging in more preventive legal action.

?

　　1.    1    is the best way to be charged for legal services.
