asia societies, by contrast, the people have the same language, history and culture. perhaps for this reason, the educational system in much of the orient reflects societys belief in group goals and purposes rather than individualism. children in china, japan and korea often work together and help one another on assignments.there are advantages and disadvantages of both systems of education. for example, one advantage of the system in japan is that students there learn much more about math, physics, biology and chemistry than american students by the end of high school. they also study more hours each day and more days each year than north americans do. the system is difficult, but it prepares students for a society that values discipline and self-control. there is, however, a disadvantage. memorization is an important learning method in japanese schools, yet many students say that after an exam, they forget much of the information that they have memorized.the advantage of the educational system in north america, on the other hand, is that students learn to think for themselves. the system prepares them for a society that values creative ideas. there is, however, a disadvantage. when students graduate from school, they havent memorized as many basic rules and facts as students in other countries have.67. the writers purpose of writing this passage is .a. to share his idea with others in a new wayb. to introduce two different systems of education through contrastc. to criticize the society that values memorization d. to prepare students for society68.

do better in teamwork than american studentsb. chinese students are more hard-working in their studies than mexican studentsc. the western educational system is much better than the eastern educational system.d. the eastern educational system is as difficult as the western educational system.70. what is the best title for the passage?a. advantages and disadvantages of educational system.b. the value of individualism.c. educational system-an obvious difference between the east and the west.d. memorization-an important learning

glance that you do not intend to rob or murder him. to fulfill the first requirement you must have some marks to let drivers distinguish you at once from all other hikers. a serviceman，for instance，should wear his uniform，a student his scarf. in a foreign country an unmistakable indication of your own nationality will also arrest a drivers attention.when i hitchhiked 9,500 miles across the united states and back recently i wore a welltailored suit，a bowler hat and a trench coat，and carried a pencilthin rolled black umbrella. my suitcase was decorated with british flags. having plenty of luggage，moreover，i was not likely to be suspected of being a dangerous lunatic (精神病患者)i then had to get across to the driver the idea that i was a real traveler，and needed to get somewhere cheaply.but even with careful preparation，you must not assume that the task will be easy. you should be prepared to wait a little，for there are drivers who confess to a fierce prejudice against，(not to say hatred of)，hitchhikers，and would no more pick up a hiker than march from aldermaston to london. in america，my average wait was half an hour，and my longest two hours，but i have heard of people waiting all daythey probably took less pains to make themselves easy to notice.nor must you assume that all the drivers who stop for you are nice，normal people. on one occasion i found myself was with two boys of about nineteen who turned out to be on the run from the police，and were hoping to use me as an alibi(不在犯罪现场的证人)there are also lesser(较小的)risks：you may find yourself in the car of a fascist fanatic，a mormon missionary(传教士)，or just a bad driver. you cannot tell，of course until you are in the car. but you soon learn the art of the quick excuse that gets you out again.if the hitchhiker in the us. remembers that he is seeking the willingness of drivers to give him a free ride，and is prepared to give in exchange entertainment and company，and not go to sleep，he will come across the remarkable，almost legendary，hospitality of american of the west. it will also help if he can drivei drove myself about 4,500 of those 9,500 miles i hitchhiked in the states.1a hitchhiking serviceman should wear his uniform _.aso as not to look too unusualbto attract attentioncto show he is on dutydto put the driver at ease2in paragraph 3，we learn that the writer _.ahas sometimes failed to hitch a ridebhas marched from aldermaston to londonchas always been successful in hitching a ridedhas had to wait for long hours for a ride3in the last paragraph，the writer wants to tell us that a hitchhiker should _.anot talk to the driver too muchbfall asleep to make it a peaceful ridectry to make himself pleasant and entertainingdseek the willingness of drivers4a suitable title for the passage would be _.a“the art of hitchhiking”b“an englishmans view of the us.”c“an english hitchhiker”d“the joys and dangers of hitchhiking”答案：14 bcca阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出最佳选项。the child ego state is a set of behaviors, thoughts and feelings which are replayed from our own childhood. perhaps the boss calls us into his or her office, we may immediately get a churning in our stomach and wonder what we have done wrong. if this were explored we might remember the time the head teacher called us in to tell us off. of course, not everything in the child ego state is negative. we might go into someones house and smell a lovely smell and remember our grandmothers house when we were little, and all the same warm feelings we had at six years of age may come flooding back. the child ego states are constantly being updated. for example, we may meet someone who gives us the permission we needed as a child, and did not get, to be fun and joyous. we may well use that person in our imagination when we are stressed to resist our old ways of thinking that we must work longer and longer hours to keep up with everything. we might ask ourselves “i wonder what x would say now.” then on hearing the new permissions to relax and take some time out, do just that and then return to the work renewed and ready for the challenge. afterwards, rather than blaming ourselves for what we did or did not do, what tends to happen is that we automatically start to give ourselves new permissions and take care of ourselves. alternatively, we might have had an extremely unpleasant experience yesterday which goes into the child ego state as an antique memory that stands in the way of our growth. positive experiences will also go into the child ego state as antique memories. the positive experiences can then be drawn on to remind us that positive things do happen. the process of analyzing personality in terms of ego states is called structural analysis. it is important to remember that ego states do not have an existence of their own. they are concepts to enable understanding. therefore it is important to say “i want some fun” rather than “my child wants some fun.” we may be in our child ego state when we say this, but saying “i” reminds us to take responsibility for our actions. 1. the writer uses two examples in paragraph 2 in order to _.a. prove the child ego state is negative b. explain why we become nervous c. support the idea in paragraph 1 d. introduce the point of paragraph 3 2. by asking “i wonder what x would say now”, we intend to _. a. blame ourselves b. avoid stress c. keep up with everything d. accept challenges3. according to the passage, the child ego state _. a. exists in ones childhood b. shows ones wisdom c. limits ones thoughts d. influences ones actions 4. the underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refers to _. a. “i want some fun” b. “my child wants some fun” c. the child ego state d. structural analysis【参考答案】 cbda阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出最佳选项。one of indias top engineering schools has restricted internet access in its boarding houses, saying addiction to surfing, gaming and blogging was affecting students performance, making them lonely and even suicidal. authorities at the best indian institute of technology (iit) in mumbai said students had stopped socializing and many were late for morning classes or slept through them. now, a student doesnt even know who lives two doors away from him because he is so busy on the internet, said prakash gopalan, dean of student affairs. the old dormitory culture of companionship and socializing among students is gone. this is not healthy in our opinion. iit-mumbai, with about 5,000 students, is one of seven iits across india which are considered to be among the finest engineering schools in the world. they are also a talent pool for global technology giants. but their hard courses, tough competition and lonely campus lifestyle have taken an effect on students. depressive and dysfunctional (不正常的) lifestyles are known to be common among iit students, and at least nine have committed suicide in the past five years. students have unlimited free internet access in their boarding houses to help them in their studies, but many also use it to surf, chat, download movies and
