三．阅读理解：
A
There are good Santas and there are bad Santas. The good Santas all realize one thing: In the mind of a child, Santa Claus is perfect.
That’s difficult. And so they come from around the world to attend the Charles W. Howard School in Midland, Mich. The school offers a three-day, 40-hour course for Santas hoping to be excellent. There’s a real range to what Santas earn, from big bucks for large events to no pay for charities(慈善). One thing for them all is pure love for children.
A former Macy’s Santa named Charles Howard founded the Michigan school in 1937. “Many people will think if you have a suit and you’re a Santa,” said Tom Valent, the school’s current dean. “It’s more than that.” So with a pet reindeer(驯鹿), his properly named wife Holly and a workshop full of wonder.
The school teachers everything from breathing techniques for carol singing(唱圣诞歌) to the beard maintenance(保养). There are lessons in child psychology(心理学), sign language and even media training for talk-show appearances and call-in shows. Santas also need to make sure they know all the names of the reindeer. What’s harder to do with, however, is children who ask for Christmas gifts like bringing daddy home or making mommy happy again.
After spending some time in the classroom, Weir went to the test his training. However, at one point, his hat fell off, and he was unsure how to react. “You’re the real Santa,” Valent said. “Pick that hat up, slip it back on, keep smiling and do your job. You’ve got to stay on top of your game. Even the last one at night, when you’re tired, you’ve got to remember: This one’s forever, so do a good job.”
1. According to the passage, good Santas should be the one’s that________.
A. can offer children some gifts
B. help adults look after their children
C. have ability to make children happy
D. are perfect in the mind of children
2. The underlined words “big bucks” in the second paragraph refer to____.
A. lots of money
B. many gifts
C. loves for children
D. gifts from children
3. The Michigan school was founded by Charles Howard with the purpose to_______.
A. train the pet reindeer for Santas
B. earn money from its students
C. train excellent Santa for the world
D. show the world’s concern to the poor
4. According to Weir’s performance, we can conclude that ________.
A. Weir was short of experience
B. Weir was not fit for the job as a Santa
C. Weir did very badly in the game
D. Weir was not a good student in school

The idea of peer pressure is something that most of us have experienced but we may not know it. Has anyone ever tried to get you to skip class? Have your friends tried to convince you to start smoking? When your friends or classmates try to get you to do something or influence how you act, it is called peer pressure.
Peer pressure can be both positive and negative. One of the ways in which peer pressure is good is that it encourages you to improve yourself. If all of your peers are studying hard and getting good grades, you will feel the pressure(压力) to do that too. Sometimes your peers may also pressure you to play a new sport. This is usually a good thing. Peer pressure is positive when it encourages you to do good things. However, peer pressure is often negative. One of your friends may try to convince you to steal something. You may also be pressured to bully(恐吓) another student. This is negative peer pressure because someone is trying to convince you to do something mean or wrong.
Many people give in to peer pressure because they want to fit in and be liked by their friends and classmates. When it is negative peer pressure, it’s important to learn ways to say “no” to your friends or classmates. One good way is to find a friend who will back you up and also resist(抵抗) peer pressure. That way you will not feel like the only one who is not giving in. It also helps to find friends that will not pressure you to do things you don’t want to do. Finding friends with similar interests will help you stay away from negative peer pressure. Be confident and you’ll find it is much easier to resist negative peer pressure. No one can make you do something you don’t want to do!

A. People would be most likely to give in to peer pressure.
B. Negative peer pressure influences how people act more easily.
C. There are ways to help people to deal with negative peer pressure.
D. Everyone can determine what to do by themselves.

Scientists have argued for long over whether birds show real intelligence. Some scientists believe birds have abilities(能力) including communication and different kinds of memory. In some unusual cases, their abilities seem better than those of humans.
Irene Pepperberg, a birds expert, did research about a grey parrot named. Griffin. Ms. Pepperberg says Griffin can arrange objects in order of size. She says the talking bird also can combine words in the right order. For example, he will combine words when asking for a piece of food. The researcher says experts had thought that only humans and other mammals with large brains have the ability to combine objects and words. She believes that bird brains have the ability to understand that complex(复杂的) tasks must be done in the correct order.
Some birds have other memory skills. For example, they collect and store thousands of seeds in autumn, and find them later in winter. Alan Kamil and Alan Bond of the University of Nebraska are studying the memories of birds called jays and nutcrackers. Their experiments show that these birds use natural objects to find the seeds they have stored.
It’s said some birds can learn as many as 2,000 different songs. Songs may have developed as a way for birds to communicate with other birds.
According to Verner Bingman of Bowling Green State University in Ohio, birds must have a special guidance system in their brain. He says that understanding how a bird’s brain operates may help us better understand how a human brain processes information.
However, some scientists do still believe birds do many things that appear to be acts of thoughtful intelligence. In most cases, they say, their behavior is simply instinctive(本能的)， no reasoning power directing it.
9. What is the main subject discussed in the passage?
A. The intelligence of birds.
B. Irene Pepperberg’s study on birds.
C. The difference between humans and birds.
D. Ways for experts to train birds.

A. Griffin, jays and nutcrackers are clever birds.
B. Objects help birds remember things.
C. Birds are as intelligent as humans.
D. Birds have certain memory skills.
11. It can be inferred from this passage that _____.
A. most scientists believe birds have real intelligence
B. mammals understand the relationship between objects and words
C. maybe trees help jays to find the seeds they have stored
D. birds always communicate with one anther by singing
12. What would probably be provided if this passage is continued?
A. More explanations on how birds communicate with one another.
B. More questions about the intelligence of birds.
C. More information about the guidance system in birds’ brain.
D. More examples to show the real intelligence of birds.

Consider... YOU. In all time before now and in all time to come, there has never been and will never be anyone like you. You are unique in the entire history and the future of the universe. Wow! Stop and think about that. You are better than anyone in a million, or a billion , or a gazillion.
You are the only one in a sea of infinity(无限)！
You are amazing! You are awesome(敬畏)！Beautiful young people are the whimsy(随意) of nature, but beautiful old people are true works of art. Howev-

You are the artist that paints your future with brush of today.

We believe that there is more to education than preparation for a job. Children must be prepared for all aspects of their adult life, work, leisure, personal relationships, creative activities, coping with money matters, independence and parenthood.
However, it would be unrealistic to provide an education which took no account of(不考虑) the needs of employers.
What type of training does the business would consider as important?
Many young people applying for jobs were, in the employers’ opinions, very weak in the basic skills of handwriting, grammar and spelling. Though additional education at university level improved the students’ general ability, a report states, “In basic skills the standards remained low.”
We should also remember that the job expectations of young people have increased. The girls who would have once become shop assistants or hairdressers now want to be secretaries. Boys who sought an apprenticeship(学徒) 20 years ago now desire to an engineering degree. But it is still the same girls and boys with the same degree of ability. No wonder that there are problems in reaching the “necessary standards” of the business world.
Many employers believed that it was important for teachers to have experience outside the world of college and school work for a while at some other kind of job “to see how the world of business and commerce differs from their own”. The teaching profession and society in general needed a greater understanding of manpower needs and therefore of “the desired” direction of the education system.
17. The passage is mainly about ______.
A. lack of education among young people
B. meeting the educational requirements of employment
C. the problems of unemployment
D. the weaker standards of education
18. In the writer’s opinion, education should ______.
A. pay more attention to students’ learning ability
B. only meet the needs of employment
C. be suitable to all aspects of being an adult, including employment
D. focus on grammar and spelling
19. The underlined phrase “the same girls and boys” (in Paragraph 6) refers to _______.
A. those who are likely to be unemployed
B. those who have just left middle school
C. those who are looking for jobs far beyond their abilities
D. those who might have become shop assistant, hairdressers and apprentices in the past
20. It’s suggested that teachers should ______.
A. never change their jobs
B. spend more time on their school work
C. improve their teaching methods
D. get some work experience outside school
