Small
Schools Rising
This year’s list of the top
100 high schools shows that today, those with
fewer
students are flourishing.
Fifty
years ago, they were the latest thing in
educational reform: big, modern,
suburban high
schools with students counted in the thousands. As
baby boomers(二
战后婴儿潮时期出生的人) came of high-school
age, big schools promised economic
efficiency.
A greater choice of courses, and, of course,
better football teams. Only
years later did we
understand the trade-offs this involved: the
creation of excessive
bureaucracies(官僚机构),the
difficulty of forging personal connections between
teachers and scores began dropping in
1963;today,on average,30% of
students do not
complete high school in four years, a figure that
rises to 50% in
poor urban neighborhoods.
While the emphasis on teaching to higher, test-
driven
standards as set in No Child Left
Behind resulted in significantly better
performance
in elementary(and some
middle)schools, high schools for a variety of
reasons seemed
to have made little progress.
Size isn’t everything, but it does matter,
and the past decade has seen a
noticeable
countertrend toward smaller schools. This has been
due ,in part ,to the
2
Bill
and Melinda Gates Foundation, which has invested
$$1.8 billion in American high
schools, helping
to open about 1,000 small schools-most of them
with about 400 kids
each with an average
enrollment of only 150 per grade, About 500 more
are on the
drawing board. Districts all over
the country are taking notice, along with mayors
in cities like New York, Chicago and San
Diego. The movement includes independent
public charter schools, such as No.1 BASIS in
Tucson, with only 120 high-schoolers
and 18
graduates this year. It embraces district-
sanctioned magnet schools, such
as the
Talented and Gifted School, with 198 students, and
the Science and Engineering
Magnet,with383,which share a building in
Dallas, as well as the City Honors School
in
Buffalo, N.Y., which grew out of volunteer
evening seminars for students. And
it includes
alternative schools with students selected by
lottery(抽签),such as
H-B Woodlawn in Arlington,
Va. And most noticeable of all, there is the
phenomenon
of large urban and suburban high
schools that have split up into smaller units of
a few hundred, generally housed in the same
grounds that once boasted thousands of
students all marching to the same band.
Hillsdale High School in San Mateo, Calif, is one
of those, ranking No.423
—among the top 2% in
the country—on Newsweek’s annual ranking of
America’s top
high schools. The success of
small schools is apparent in the listings. Ten
years
ago, when the first Newsweek list based
on college-level test participation was
published, only three of the top 100 schools
had graduating Classes smaller than
100
students. This year there are 22. Nearly 250
schools on the full ,Newsweek list
of the top
5% of schools nationally had fewer than 200
graduates in 2007.
Although many of
Hillsdale’s students came from wealthy households,
by the late
1990 average test scores were
sliding and it had earned the unaffectionate
nickname
(绰号) “Hillsjail. ” Jeff Gilbert. A
Hillsdale teacher who became principal last
year, remembers sitting with other teachers
watching students file out of a
graduation
ceremony and asking one another in astonishment,
“How did that student
graduate?”
So in
2003 Hillsdale remade itself into three “houses,”
romantically named
Florence, Marrakech and
Kyoto. Each of the 300 arriving ninth graders are
randomly(随
机地) assigned to one of the houses.
Where they will keep the same four core subject
teachers for two years, before moving on to
another for 11th and 12 grades. The
th
closeness this system cultivates is
reinforced by the institution of “advisory”
classes Teachers meet with students in groups
of 25, five mornings a week, for
open-ended
discussions of everything from homework problems
to bad Saturday-night
dates. The advisers also
meet with students privately and stay in touch
with parents,
3
so they are
deeply invested in the students’ success.“We’re
constantly talking
about one another’s
advisers,” says English teacher Chris Crockett.
“If you hear
that yours isn’t doing well in
math, or see them sitting outside the dean’s
office,
it’s like a personal failure.” Along
with the new structure came a more demanding
academic program, the percentage of freshmen
taking biology jumped from 17 to 95.
“It was
rough for some. But by senior year, two-thirds
have moved up to physics,”
says Gilbert “Our
kids are coming to school in part because they
know there are
adults here who know them and
care for them.”But not all schools show advances
after
downsizing, and it remains to be seen
whether smaller schools will be a cure-all
solution.
The Newsweek list of top U.S.
high schools was made this year, as in years past,
according to a single metric, the proportion
of students taking college-level exams.
Over
the years this system has come in for its share of
criticism for its simplicity.
But that is also
its strength: it’s easy for readers to understand,
and to do the
arithmetic for their own schools
if they’d like.
Ranking schools is always
controversial, and this year a group of 38
superintendents(地区教育主管)from five states wrote
to ask that their schools be
excluded from the
calculation.“It is impossible to know which high
schools are ‘the
best’ in the nation, ”their
letter read. in part. “Determining whether
different
schools do or don’t offer a high
quality of education requires a look at man
different
measures, including students’
overall academic accomplishments and their
subsequent performance in college. And taking
into consideration the unique needs
of their
communities.”
In the end, the
superintendents agreed to provide the data we
sought, which is,
after all, public
information. There is, in our view, no real
dispute here, we are
all seeking the same
thing, which is schools that better serve our
children and our
nation by encouraging
students to tackle tough subjects under the
guidance of gifted
teachers. And if we keep
working toward that goal, someday, perhaps a list
won’
t be necessary.

some questions or unfinished
statements For each of them there are four choices
marked A),B),C) and D).You should decide on
the best choice and mark the
corresponding
letter on
Answer Sheer 2 with a single line
through the centre.
Passage One
Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following
passage.
In times of economic crisis.
Americans turn to their families for support. If
the Great Depression is any guide, we may see
a drop in our skyhigh divorce rate.
But this
won’t necessarily represent. an increase in happy
marriages. In the long
run, the Depression
weakened American families, and the current crisis
will probably
do the same.
We tend to
think of the Depression as a time when families
pulled together to
survive huge job losses, By
1932. when nearly one-quarter of the workforce was
unemployed, the divorce rate had declined by
around 25% from 1929 But this doesn’
t mean
people were suddenly happier with their marriages.
Rather, with incomes
decreasing and insecure
jobs, unhappy couples often couldn’t afford to
divorce.
They feared neither spouse could
manage alone.
Today, given the job losses
of the past year, fewer unhappy couples will
risk starting separate households,
Furthermore, the housing market meltdown will
make it more difficult for them to finance
their separations by selling their homes.
After financial disasters family members also tend
to do whatever they can
to help each other and
their communities, A 1940 book. The Unemployed Man
and His
Family, described a family in which
the husband initially reacted to losing his job
“with tireless search for work.”He was always
active, looking for odd jobs to do.
The
problem is that such an impulse is hard to sustain
Across the country, many
similar families were
unable to maintain the initial boost in
morale(士气). For some,
the hardships of life
without steady work eventually overwhelmed their
attempts to
keep their families together. The
divorce rate rose again during the rest of the
decade as the recovery took hold.
14
Millions of American families may now
be in the initial stage of their responses
to
the current crisis, working together and
supporting one another through the early
months of unemployment.
Today’s economic
crisis could well generate a similar number of
couples whose
relationships have been
irreparably(无法弥补地)ruined. So it’s only when the
economy is healthy again that we’ll begin to
see just how many broken families have
been
created.

Two
Questions 62 to 66 are based on the
following passage:
People are being lured
(引诱)onto Facebook with the promise of a fun, free
service without realizing they’re paying for
it by giving up toads of personal
information.
Facebook then attempts to make money by selling
their data to
advertisers that want to send
targeted messages.
Most Facebook users
don’t realize this is happening. Even if they know
what
the company is up to, they still have no
idea what they’re paying for Face book
because
people don’t really know what their personal data
is worth.
The biggest problem, however, is
that the company keeps changing the rules

create own little private network. Last year. The
company changed its privacy
rules so that many
things you city. Your photo, your friends’ names-

people could choose to use them or not to use
them,”
Schrage admits.

注意:此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。
Because
conflict and disagreements are part of all close
relationships, couples
need to learn
strategies for managing conflict in a healthy and
constructive way.
Some couples just 67 and
deny the presence of any conflict in a
relationship. 68 ,denying the existence of
conflict results in
18
couples
69 to solve their problems at early 70
,which can then
lead to even greater problems
later 71 .Not surprisingly, expressing anger
and disagreement leads to lower marital
(婚姻的)satisfaction at the beginning.
However,
this pattern of behavior 72 increases in
marital satisfaction over
time. Research
suggests that working 73 conflicts is an
important predictor
of marital satisfaction.
So, what can you do to manage conflict in
your own relationships? First, try
to
understand the other person’s point of view 74
put yourself in his of
her place. People who
are 75 to what their partner thinks and
feels 76 greater relationship
satisfaction. For example, researchers found
that among people in dating relationships
77 marriages, those who can
adopt their
partner’s perspective show more positive 78
.more
relationship-enhancing attributes and

Second, because conflict and disagreements
are an 80 part of close
relationships.
People need to be able to apologize to their
partner for wrongdoing
and 81
forgiveness from their parents for their own acts.
Apologies
minimize conflict, lead to
forgiveness, and serve to restore relationship
closeness.
In line 82 this view, spouses
who are more forgiving show higher

have 84 health benefits. For example,
when people reflect on
hurtful 85 and

Comprehension
Section A
Conversation 1
W:Good evening, and welcome to this week’s
business world. The program for
and about
business people. Tonight we have Mr. Steven Kayne,
who has just taken over
25
and
established bicycle shop. Tell us, Mr. Kayne, what
made you want to run your
own store?
M:
Well, I always loved racing bikes and fixing them.
When I was working full-time
as a salesman for
a big company, I seldom had time to enjoy my
hobby. I knew then
that as soon as I had
enough money to get my own business going, I’ll do
it. I had
my heart set on it and I didn’t let
anything stand in my way. When I went down to
the bank and got a business loan, I knew I’d
love being my own boss. Now my time
is my own.
I open the store when I want and leave when I
want。
W:You mean you don’t keep regular
hours?
M: Well, the sign on my store says
the hours are ten to six, but if business
is
slower than usual, I can just lock up and take off
early。
W: Had you hired any employees to
work with you yet?
M: Yeah, a couple of
friends of mine who love biking as much as I do.
They help
me out a few days a week. It’s great
because we play cards or just sit around and
talk when there are no customers.
W:
Thank you, Mr. Kayne. We wish you success in your
new business。
is the woman doing?
did Mr. Kayne do before he took over the bicycle
shop?
did the man take over a bicycle shop?
do we learn about the people working in the
shop?

Conversation 2
W: Well,
the main activities in the region were
historically steel and paper
processing, I
think。
M: Yes, but I’m not quite sure about
the status of those industries now. Could
you
tell us something about that?
W: Yes, of
course. In fact, they are less significant, but
steel-related
manufacturing still accounts for
44% of industrial activity. So it’s still very
important. In fact, 80% of Spain’s machine
tools are from the Basque country. As
for
paper processing, there’s still a little. But it’s
no longer what it once was
in the region. So,
is that clear?
M: Yes, thanks。
W: Now,
to get back to what I was saying, there’s a lot of
unemployment as well
as geographical problems
in the region。
M: Sorry, Victoria. What do
you mean by geographical problems?
26
W: Well, what I mean is the area is
very hilly, mountainous in parts. So there
used to be transport problems, now though
there are new train links and better roads,
but it may be that some smaller towns inland
remain not very well connected, is that
OK?
Does that make sense? When we talk about specific
location suggestions for the
factory, we’ll
see this in more detail, so we’ll come back to
this question, OK?
M: OK, right。
W: So
I was about to say something about the work force
in the region and the
level of training and
education. In general, it’s very good and
improving。
Question 23-25 are based on the
conversation you have just heard。
23. What
does the woman say about the steel-related
manufacturing in the region?
24. What
problems hinder the region’s development?
25. What will the speakers discuss later?

23. B

On Excessive
Packaging
In recent years, with the economy
growing, all kinds of goods are
flowing into
our life. The packaging of goods becomes more and
more
attracting our eyes. However, the problem
of excessive packaging has
aroused people’s
wide concern。
This phenomenon exists for a
number of reasons. For one thing, the
business
has seen through the mind of most consumers who
are face-saving,
for they thought that the
more beautiful the packaging of goods is, the
best people like. For another thing, excessive
packaging can make the
majority of merchants
get high profit for the cheap commodity by
improving
price. Perhaps the primary reason
lies that the form far outweighs the
content。
30
In my opinion, it is more
advisable to focus on the quality of goods
than to decorate its appearance. So, it is
urgent that immediate measures
should be taken
to stop the situation. Only in this way can we
reduce
unnecessary waste and have a rational
and pure shopping condition, making
our money
worthwhile。
