The current version of the law, signed by George W. Bush eight years ago, is known as the No Child Left Behind Act. That name would go away.The current policy calls for every student to be able to pass state tests in reading and math by 2014. All schools must show yearly progress toward this goal. But states decide how much students need to know to show proficiency.President Obamas goal is that every student should graduate from high schoolin his wordsready for college and a career. The target date for schools is 2020. Barack Obama: What this plan recognizes is that while the federal government can play a leading role in encouraging the reforms and high standards we need, the impetus for that change will come from states and from local schools and school districts.Under the new proposal, states and school systems would compete for federal grants. The idea is similar to the administrations four billion dollar Race to the Top competition to improve schools.Struggling schools could receive money for teacher improvement and for developing plans for success. The lowest performing schools would face changes such as replacing teachers and the principal or being closed.The plan would reward effective schools and teachers with money and other recognition. But leaders of the nations largest teachers unions criticized the administrations blueprint. Dennis Van Roekel from the NEA(National Education Association) said it still relies on standardized tests to identify winners and losers.Ann Bryant, executive director of the National School Boards Association, said: There is no research that says that if you fire the principal youre going to get better results. Theres very little research that says if you fire half the faculty youre going to get good results. And there is zero research that says closing the school necessarily helps those children.Randi Weingarten, one of the American Federation of Teachers, said the plan appears to place all the responsibility on teachers, but gives them zero percent authority.56. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to Obamas plan?A. The administration considered the proposal as the No Child Left Behind Act.B. Each student has to pass tests in order to be admitted into colleges and universities.C. The plan advocates rewarding effective schools and teachers with money.D. Schools which have bad performance must be closed down by the state government.57. What is the attitude of Dennis Van Roekel, Ann Bryant and Randi Weingarten in the passage?A. Critical. B. Supportive. C. Objective. D. Uninterested .58. Which may be the best title of the passage?A. Obamas “Blueprint for Reform” in education goes to CongressB. Newly-established education law causes debateC. The NEAs opinions on education reformD. Obamas proposal vs George W. Bushs59. The underlined word “impetus” is closest in meaning to _. A. reasonB. push C. blameD. promise BWelcome To International Summer SchoolAn enjoyable English language learning experience together with organized sports, activities and excursion(外出游学) program.International Summer School runs 3 different summer school centers for boys and girls aged from 8-21 years in the South of England.

The target readers of the passage are probably _.A. teachersB. childrenC. parentsD. schoolsCMountaineers have noted that as they climb, for example, up to the 12,633-foot Humphreys Peak in Arizona, plant life changes greatly. In the Sonoran Desert, one climbs into a pine forest at 7,000 feet and a treeless tundra(冻土带) on the top of the mountain. It may seem that plants at a given altitude are associated in what can be called communities groupings of species. The idea is that over time, plants that require particular climate and soil conditions come to live in the same places, and are frequently to be found together. Scientists study the history of plant life and build up a picture of how groups of plants have responded to climate changes and how ecosystems develop. But are these associations, which are real in the present, permanent?A great natural experiment took place on this planet between 25,000 and 10,000 years ago, when small changes in the earths orbit caused great sheets of ice to spread from poles. These glaciers(冰川) covered much of North America and Europe to depths of up to two miles, and then, as the climate warmed, they retreated. During this retreat, they left behind newly uncovered land for living things to occupy, and as those living things moved in they laid down a record we can read now. As the ice retreated and plants started to grow near a lake, they release pollen(花粉). Some would fall into the lake, sink to the bottom and mix with the sand. By drilling into the lake bottom it is possible to read the record of the plant life around the lake. The fossil record seems clear; there is little or no evidence that entire groups of plants moved north together. Things that lived together in the past dont live together now, and things that live together now didnt live together in the past. Each individual living things moved at its own pace. The fossil record seems to be telling us that we should be thinking about preserving species by giving them room to move aboutto respond to environmental changes.63. According to the passage, the movement of individual species of plants _.A. occurs in groupsB. often depends upon the formation of lakesC. does not occur in groupsD. depends upon climate and soil condit
