official approval to operate.mr escalantes students were mostly mexicanamericans from a spanishspeaking area of the city. many were the worst students at the school and thought to be “unteachable”. but mr escalante pushed the group to work hard. he told them basic math was too easy and that they had the ability to do harder work. but they must have the desire to be successful.jaime escalante started an advanced math program with a small group of students. advanced placement is a program of collegelevel classes and tests. in 1982, eighteen of his students took the advanced placement test in calculus(微积分). they all passed. officials at the testing company suspected the students of cheating.mr escalante protested. he said the students were being rejected because they were hispanic and from a poor school. he asked his students to take the test again. twelve of the students repeated the test.and again, all of them passed. mr escalantes students went on to become engineers, scientists and university professors. the advanced math program at garfield became extremely successful over the next several years.jaime escalante received many teaching awards including the presidential medal of excellence. a movie about his success，stand and deliver，was released in 1988.it influenced other teachers to use his methods.1what do we know about jaime escalante?ahe had a very poor family

escalante students could do so well at first cdidnt think highly of the advanced math program at garfield dhad proof that jaime escalantes students cheated in the test解析：细节理解题。根据第四段的“officials at the

income, parents who want to spend more time with their children, college students and temporary agency workers. many people enjoy the advantages of not working fulltime, but one major disadvantage is that benefits are rarely offered to parttime employees.most people hope for health insurance and retirement benefits when taking a job. traditionally, companies only offer benefits to employees who work 30 hours or more a week. this is only a 25% reduction in hours, so it doesnt free up a lot of time for the employee who needs parttime hours. even when parttimers are offered health benefits, they are rarely offered paid time off and retirement benefits.many businesses hire parttime employees for the simple reason of saving money. if they work less than a certain number of hours, they dont need to pay for benefits.there are companies, however, that are beginning to offer benefits to parttime employees.some companies have begun to offer those in order to keep highquality, trained professionals that just want parttime hours. people who may only want parttime work may be forced to take a fulltime job to get the benefits. companies who offer benefits to parttimers have an advantage of offering more choices to their employees in terms of hours.conducting an internet search is probably the quickest way to find companies that provide benefits for parttime employees. many large corporations like starbucks, barnes and noble and whole foods offer benefits to parttime employees among other things. look for companies that offer a team approach to their employees. employees are given choices and part of decision making in the business. businesses that allow employee input are more likely to offer benefits to parttimers.5which of the following groups is not mentioned as people who would love to be parttimers?aretired people who want to make some money.bagency workers who want to work temporarily.cparents who want to get together with their children more.dpeople who prefer to spend more time on their hobbies.解析：细节理解题。根据第一段的“like people.temporary agency workers”可知前三项都有提到，唯独d没有提到。答案：d6we can learn from the second paragraph that _ aparttimers can enjoy as many benefits as fulltimersbpeople choose to work because they need insurancecmost parttime workers have paid time offdparttimers often enjoy fewer benefits than fulltimers解析：推理判断题。根据第二段“traditionally，companies only offer benefits to employees who work 30 hours or more a week”和“even when parttimers.they are rarely offered paid time off and retirement benefits”可知d正确。答案：d7why have some companies begun to give benefits to parttime workers?abecause the government forces them to do so.bbecause they want to attract and keep skilled workers.cbecause they want to show their concern for parttime workers.dbecause parttime workers wont work for them without benefits.解析：细节理解题。根据第三段的“some companies have begun.keep highquality，trained professionals”可知，一些企业开始给兼职者提供福利主要是想留住那些技艺熟练的兼职工作者。答案：b8why does the writer refer to companies like starbucks?abecause starbucks is a worldfamous coffee company.bbecause these companies advertise more on the internet.cbecause these companies give parttime workers benefits.dbecause these companies need more parttime workers.解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段的“many large.among other things”可知，作者是想以这些企业为例，说明现在很多大企业都给兼职者提供福利。答案：cdo you live in a safe neighborhood, or do you feel overcrowded, threatened, or unsafe in your surroundings? this, and other aspects of neighborhood

huge meals on holidays are gone.enter the red hat societya group holding the belief that old ladies should have fun.“my grandmother didnt do anything but keep house and serve everybody.they were programmed to do that，”said emily cornette，head of a chapter of the 7yearold red hat society.while men have long spent their time fishing and playing golf，women have sometimes seemed to become unnoticed as they age.but the generation now turning 50 is the baby boomers(生育高峰期出生的人)，and the same people who refused their parents way of being young are now trying a new way of growing old.if you take into consideration feminism(女权主义)，a bit of spare money，and better health for most elderly，the red hat society looks almost inevitable(必然的)in this society，women over 50 wear red hats and purple clothes，while the women under 50 wear pink hats and light purple clothing.the organization took the idea from a poem by jenny joseph that begins: “when i am an old woman，i shall wear purple.with a red hat which doesnt go，”said ellen cooper，who founded the red hat society in 1998.when the ladies started to wear the red hats，they attracted lots of attention.“the point of this is that we need a rest from always doing something for someone else，”cooper said.“women feel so ashamed and sorry when they do something for themselves.”this is why chapters are discouraged from raising money or doing anything useful.“were a ladies play group，it couldnt be more simple，” added coopers assistant joe heywood.13the underlined word “chapter” in paragraph 2 means_aone branch of an organization ba written agreement of a clubcone part of a collection of poems da period in a societys history解析：这是一道词义猜测题。根据其定语“of the 7yearold red hat society”可猜测出这个词的意思是“某个组织的一个分部”。答案：a14from the text，we know that the “baby boomers” are a group of people who_ahave gradually become more noticeablebare worried about getting old too quicklycare enjoying a good life with plenty of money to spenddtried living a different life from their parents when they were young解析：这是一道细节推断题。第三段“but the generation now turning 50 is the baby boomers，and the same people who refused their parents way of being young are now trying a new way of growing old”说明他们想过一种新的生活。答案：d15it could be inferred from the text that members of the red hat society are_ainterested in raising money for social workbprogrammers who can plan well for their futurecbelievers in equality between men and womendgood at cooking big meals and taking care of others解析：这是一道推断题。根据这篇短文的内容可推断出这个组织的成员相信男女平等。答案：c第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。there is no short cut to success, this is the first thing you should remember.for this
