【2013北京市通州区统一检测】C
The high school ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) diploma (文凭) is losing its value quickly, as a growing number of students graduate (毕业) from school without the math and reading skills that colleges and companies require, according to a new report.
The high school ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) graduation exams that most states (州) require students to pass before they graduate remain far too easy. Most of the exams generally test eighth-or ninth-grade level work.
Today, even high sch ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ool graduates who are going to have blue-collar (蓝领) jobs need to study the math, research and writing courses. But in high school, only students who are going to college are now required to take these courses.
“If you want a good jo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )b with a good pay, it’s a high-skill job,” said Michael Cohen, a leading member of the America Diploma Project.
The project sugges ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ts that all graduates master a wide range (范围) of skills. “A high school diploma should mean something to a company and university,” said Ohio Gov. Bob Taft, who is Achieve’s co-chairman.
In Taft’s state, ab ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )out 30% students who go directly to college from high school have to take remedial classes of English or math, he said. It’s easy to see that the present high-school graduating standards are not preparing students for college education.
And with high-skille ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d jobs increasingly headed overseas to places like India and Ireland, states need to act, he said.
To prove why math ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) and reading skills matter, the report includes real-life examples of problems students meet in college and that workers must solve each day on the job.
Some states are ta ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )king actions to upgrade the high school diploma. In Texas, all high school students, starting with the 2008 graduating class, will have to take the college-prep curriculum (大学预备课程) - unless a parent agrees to an easier course load. Other states are planning similar moves.
The report includes ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) examples of reading and math skills that high-school students should have. Project leaders say they hope parents will use those examples to judge (评定) the coursework at their kids’ high schools.
47. Why is the high school diploma losing its value quickly
A. Because the number of high school students is growing fast.
B. Because high school students fail to reach the standards.
C. Because the graduation tests are easier than it should be.
D. Because difficult courses are not required in high schools.
48. Remedial classes in Paragraph 6 mean classes____.
A. for good learners to study quickly and better
B. for slower learners weak in the subject
C. for learners to be taught one by one
D. for learners to reach a higher standard
49. What can we learn from the passage
A. Colleg ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )es require higher math and reading skills than companies.
B. It is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) easier for companies to find high-skilled workers in India.
C. Math and read ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ing skills help little for workers to solve daily problems.
D. Parents ask hi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )gh schools to offer college-prep curriculum in Texas.
50. What can be the best title for the passage
A. High School Diploma Means Little
B. Give Students More High-skill Jobs
C. Math and Reading Skills Really Matter
D. Judge Coursework at High Schools

Do you like sports If ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) your answer is yes, sometimes you'll find it very difficult to have enough time to do it, even if it's on weekends. However, you don't have to worry now because a "sunshine sports" program was started by the Ministry (部)of Education .
It suggests st ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )udents around the country have an hour of sports every day. The difference is that students will be able to do any sport they please. The idea is to make students happy and keep them healthy at the same time.
Han Jiawen, from ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Shanghai Yangsi Middle School, likes the idea. Han and her classmates skip rope together. "We have a good time. " said Han, "Playing is better than having classes. "Wang Lichao welcomes the idea, too. "It's good to be able to breathe some fresh air instead of sitting in the classroom. "But the 14-year-old from Tianjin wonders whether there will be enough space for everyone. "With so many students outside, " he said, " I'm afraid there won't be enough standing room in the playground. Wu Jiatong's school is in Liaoning. Wu and other students have been jogging for 40 minutes every morning. " It's tiring. " said Wu, " But we do feel healthier. " " We hope we can do what we want. The school says later we can have rope jumping or kicking Jianzi. I can't wait!" she said. What about your school There must be more sports that interest you and your schoolmates.

【2016中考模拟】阅读下列材料，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳的答案。
【材料:2009年无锡市中考英语试题；题目主要摘自《初中英语阅读6+1*中考冲刺全真模拟》略有改编与调整】
About ten men in ev ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ery hundred suffer from color blindness in some way. Women are luckier; only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman!
There are differ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ent forms of color blindness. In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shadows of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades (色调) of green －a strange world indeed.
Color blindne ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ss in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”. These help us to see in a bright light and to tell difference between colors. There are also millions of “rods”, but these are used for seeing when it is near dark. They show us shape but no color.
Some insects have ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) favorite colors. Mosquitoes (蚊子) prefer blue to yellow. A red light will not attract insects, but a blue lamp will. In a similar way human beings also have favorite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible colors around us.
Why do some people say it is safer to be driven by women
Women are more careful.
There are fewer color-blind women.
Women are luckier than men
D. None of them has trouble in recognizing (识别) colors.
Which of the statements about color-blind is true
Quite a few of them see everything in shades of green.
None of them can see deep red.
Not all of them have the same problem
None of them can tell the difference between blue and green
23. According to the passage, with the help of “cones”, we can______.
A. tell different shapes B. see in a weak light
C. kill mosquitoes D. tell orange from yellow
24. The passage is mainly about ________.
A. color blindness B. The invisible colors around us
C. Danger caused by color blindness D. color and its surprising effects.
We can attract and kill mosquitoes by using a ______
A. red light B. yellow light C.C. blue light D. Green light

My grandparents never let me do any chores because they want me to do my schoolwork.
I used to tak ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e everything for granted*. I never said “thank you” to people. As time went by, I found that my classmates didn’t like me and my best friends left me. one day, I asked Leo, who used to be one of my best friends. He said that I was selfish, rude* and bad-tempered*. “No one wants to make friends with a person who always receives but never gives anything!” he said. I was shocked* at his words. “Oh, no! Please don’t leave me. I need friends! I will be lonely and unhappy without friends!” I locked myself up in the room and cried. “I want my friends back. But how ”

It is true that peop ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )le with better education are usually able to get better paying jobs. In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don’t. It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs. But this isn’t accepted* by all people.
Some people ma ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education only for a way of living. This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education. In fact, if education is just a way of making a living, people don’t need to spend so much time in school. People can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone. Even language and math need not be taught in details*, either. Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.
Education is we ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ll-rounded and it is mainly for improving a man. It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities*. After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements* of human. Education is to make a man have a better life. Educated people are expected *to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and most of all take an interest in the world.
I would agree that ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) making a good living is an important reason for education, but certainly not the most important or the main reason.
( ) 52. People with little education usually .
A. spend a long time in school
B. have a good chance to get a job
C. spend the best years to choose jobs
D. have fewer chances to get a good job
( ) 53. The un ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )derlined word “well-rounded” in the passage means “ ” in Chinese.
A. 圆满的 B.崭新的 C.公平的 D.全面的

A. accept education as a way of living

Three men tr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )aveling on a train began a conversation about the world’s greatest wonders.
“In my opini ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )on,” the first man said, “the Egyptian Pyramids（金字塔） are the world’s greatest wonder. Although they were built thousands of years ago, they are still standing, and remember the people who built them had only simple tools. They did not have the kind of machinery that builders and engineers have today.”
“I agree that the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Pyramids in Egypt are wonderful, ” the second man said, “but I do not think they are the greatest wonder.

For most Americans ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), life without a car is hard to imagine. However, society has realized the serious air pollution problem caused by cars. The polluted air becomes poisonous(有毒的) to our health.
One way to get rid ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) of(摆脱) the polluted air is to build a car that does not pollute. That’s what several large companies have been trying to do. But to build a clean car is easier said than done. Progress is this field has been slow.
Another way i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s to replace the car engine(发动机) with something. Now inventors are working on steam(蒸汽) cars as well as electric cars. Many car makers believe that it will take years to develop a useful model that pleases people.
To prevent the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) world from being polluted by cars, we make some changes in the way we live. Americans, for example, have to reduce(减少) the number of their total cars. They should be encouraged to travel and go to work by bicycle.
But this chan ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ge does not come easily. A large number of workers might find themselves without jobs if a car factory is closed. Thus the problem of air pollution would become less important than that of unemployment(失业).
Although ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) cars have led(引导) us to better lives, they have also brought us new problems.
1. A car is very important for most Americans.
2. Building a clean car is not difficult.
3. One way to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) get rid of the polluted air is to replace the car engine.
4. The writer th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )inks that the problem of air pollution is more important that that of unemployment.

Many years ago, t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )here was a man. He had a cat and loved it very much. He decided to call it Sky. One day, a friend said to him, "Let me tell you that there is something stronger than the sky. I mean the clouds, for they cover the sky." "You are right." answered the man, "And now I'm going to give my cat the name ‘Cloud’”.
Two days later, another man was having supper with him at his house. “Why do you call cat Cloud The wind blows away the cloud without difficulty.” So the man changed its name again. It was then called Wind.
But a week had not passed when his neighbor noticed this quite beautiful cat. He said, “Wind seems to be the worst name. Even a wall can stop the wind. Wall seems to be better.” So the cat was called Wall. But a teacher said that a wall was not stronger than a mouse. The man had to change the name again. Just then the man's son came in. “Mouse!” he shouted. “What a foolish name! I know something much stronger than a mouse. Everyone knows that a cat catches the mouse and eats it. A cat is stronger than a mouse,” said the boy. This time the man saw his mistake. He changed its name back to Cat again.
1. The man named his cat “Sky” because he liked it very much.
2. One day he chan ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ged the name Sky because he was told that the sky was higher than the cloud.
3. He turned the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )name to “Cloud” because he found that the cloud would be blown away by the wind.

What do you see when ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )you look at abstract (抽象) art Does it make sense to you Does it look like anything
Abstract art became popular in the early 20th century. Artists did not want to paint, draw, or sculpt things like they looked. They didn’t want their art to be realistic (现实的). They were more interested in basic shapes（基础的造型） and colours.
Picasso is probably the most famous of these artists. He painted and drew in many, many styles. Sometimes he used a lot of blue colours (his “blue period”). Later, he used more red and pink colours (his “rose period”). Many of his other paintings are called “cubist (立体画派)” because they are made of painted squares.
After a long time, Picasso’s paintings became more and more abstract. He painted people and things using strange shapes. His work was so original, many his fellow artists didn’t understand it.
Kindinsky, another famous artist, used lines, shapes, and patterns to paint his subjects. His paintings also used strong colours to express feelings.
Other artists like the surrealists (超现实主义者), they were interested in the subconscious (潜意识). Painters like Breton and Magritte used many symbols (象征) in their work. The meaning or subject of their work wasn’t always clear. Dai, another artist, painted pictures that looked like dreams.
There are still many abstract artists around the world. It's often hard to say what their art is about. That’s the way many artists like better. They want each person to look at art and find their own meaning in it.
【小题1】Which would be most like abstract art
A．a painting of a horse
B．a sculpture(雕塑) of a car
C．a drawing of two people in a coffee house.
D．A red and blue painting, with no clear subject.

A．It became more abstract.
B．It became less original.
C．He went from using red colours to using blue colours

I had gone to to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )wn to do some shopping, and as I was walking through the park on my way home from the shop, it suddenly began to rain.

“Oh, I don ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )’t want to use the phone,” he replied with a smile. “I’ve just come to repair it. It’s out of order, you see.” I felt myself go bright red in the face and I hurried away with my head down. That was certainly one of the most embarrassing moments of my life!

People think of ice c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ream as an American food. Yet, ice cream really came from Asia. In the late 1200s Marco Polo, the great explorer, is said to have seen rich Asians eating dishes of ice. Camels had brought the ice from distant mountains. Before it was served, the ice had been flavored (调味）with fruits.
Marco Polo brought this new dish to Italy, In France cooks changed the ice recipe (配方）and made ice cream.

Dolly Madison, wife of President James Madison, also liked ice cream, and she often served it at the White House. Actually, a famous brand (品牌）of ice cream was even named after her.
In the late 1800s, the ice cream industry began to grow. A way of keeping ice cream frozen had been found, so ice cream makers did not have to worry about ice cream melting(融化）anymore.
