My wife and I have always been friendly with the clerks at the local store. I don’t think many people appreciate what a difficult job these clerks have. They work for a little money and I often wonder how they make ends meet.
One of the clerks, Charlie, was always wearing his glasses but he didn’t one day. I asked him about it and he said they’d been out of order and that he couldn’t afford a new pair. His family needed money. It was clear that he was having a difficult time.
We wanted to help him, so we turned to our own eye doctor for help with a plan. We had his secretary contact him, asking him to come in for an eye exam for free. We told the doctor to let him order whatever glasses he wanted and that we would pay for them. Although Charlie questioned what was going on, the doctor just told him that someone had offered the money for his new glasses. When we went in to pay the bill, the doctor told us he was touched by our idea so that he waived the exam fee and only charged us for half the price of the glasses!
It was so wonderful to see Charlie in his new glasses and he enjoyed telling all the regular customers how the gift came about. I’m sure that upon hearing his story, ideas of kindness may have come in the minds of many people.
24.Why didn’t the clerk Charlie wear glasses one day?
A. It was very warm and fine. B. His glasses were missing.
C. His old glasses were broken. D. He forgot to wear his glasses.
25.From the passage, we can infer that ______.
A. Charlie was a young man with skills
B. Charlie knew who paid the money for the new glasses
C. Charlie completely accepted the money for the new glasses
D. Charlie couldn’t support his family with enough money

B. A Friendly Clerk — Charlie
C. The Wonderful Feeling of Helping others
D. An Expensive Pair of Glasses

So much to do, so little time. So much information, so little time to read it. In this age there is more information than ever before. There is not enough time to read everything we want to read. However, you can consume more information in shorter time through speed-reading.
The first thing about speed-reading is looking at the word and recognizing it. Don’t say the word in your mind, just look at it and recognize its importance. Later you will recognize clumps of four words or more to increase your speed. This is the first and most important step in speed-reading.
The next step is technique. As with any other skill, speed-reading requires technique. You should first be sitting up straight with your book flat on a horizontal (水平的) surface such as a table or a desk. Next, you should be able to see the entire page. This is necessary if you want to recognize clumps of words. Lastly, you should be focused. It is hard to read with a lot of noise. Find a quiet place to read. This will help your understanding of the text.
You need something to guide your eyes while reading. You should use your finger. Move your finger smoothly across the page. Keep your eyes focused on the words as you recognize them while using your finger as a guide. This will increase your speed.
The third step is practice. Practice makes perfect. Read using different techniques, but make sure you understand what you are reading.
28.From the first paragraph, we know that _______.
A. there is more limited information than ever before
B. conditions ask people to use less time to know more information
C. people can read what they like
D. the less you read, the more time you will spend
29.Which of the following shows the RIGHT time order for speed-reading according to the passage?
a. Ask for more technique.
b. Look at many words and recognize them.
c. Practise more.
A. c, a, b B. c, b, a C. b, a, c D. a, c, b
30. The underlined part “you should be focused” in the third paragraph means that .
A. a person should devote all his attention to reading
B. your feelings will be hurt while reading
C. a person should forget his difficulties while reading
D. you should pay attention to your faults while reading
31.To speed up your reading, you could .
A. use something to guide your eyes
B. say every word out loud
C. know it is necessary to read quickly
D. underline some important words while reading
D
I went to Arizona earlier this month to see what the college of the future might look like. What I found is an exciting new era of higher education that will help more students get a great, personalized education at an affordable price.
This future may not always include the lecture halls, dormitories, and other features of the traditional college experience. Instead, the colleges I visited are experimenting with ways for students to get their degrees online, allowing them to take courses any place and at any time.
These “colleges without walls,” as they are sometimes called, are at the forefront of the effort to broaden access to higher education, especially for low-income students with full-time jobs and families. During my visit, I heard encouraging stories of students who were taking advantage of these flexible learning models to pursue degrees that could put them on paths to new careers.
One of those students was Shawn Lee. He had a compelling story: After dropping out of college decades ago, he found himself in a series of low-paying, often back-breaking jobs. He recently decided to get his degree when he had his first child and wanted to start building a better life.
Tucked away in an industrial park in Tempe, Rio Salado didn’t look much like a traditional institute of higher education. There were no students running to class. Just a couple of glass-faced office buildings. The college had just 22 full-time faculty serving 60,000 students, with more than half of them attending classes online.
Several students I met during my visit said they liked learning online. “I’ve taken college classes in a big auditorium with herds of people. There was no personal connection,” one student said. “Now I can reach my teacher with the click of a mouse.”
After several days’ visit, I left Arizona feeling quite optimistic about what the future holds for higher education.
32.What does “colleges without walls” in the third paragraph refer to?
A. Colleges that have no walls around.
B. Colleges that students attend online.
C. Colleges that can be entered freely.
D. Colleges that give students more freedom.
33.What made Shawn Lee return to attend college again?
A. That he has nothing to do.
B. That he couldn’t find a job.
C. That the cost of the college is low.
D. That he wanted to find a better job.
34.How did the writer feel after the visit?
A. Hopeful. B. Dissatisfied. C. Disappointed. D. Upset.
35.What is the writer’s purpose by writing this passage?
A. To explain what “colleges without walls” are.
B. To advertise the colleges.
C. To encourage people to attend higher education.
D. To introduce a new model of education.

If tests can make students nervous, anxious and even scared, shouldn’t schools just get rid of them?36.__________ Teachers and schools give students tests for very important reasons:
37.___________ Giving a test is a way for a teacher to see which students are learning the skills and knowledge they should be learning, and which ones are having trouble. Depending on how kids do on the test, the teacher will know if he or she must go back over some things, or if it’s okay to keep moving forward.
To see how well your school is teaching you. All parents want their kids to finally graduate with the ability to earn a living. 38.________ And one way to do this is to have them take tests.
To assign grades. 39.________ Besides your homework, tests are one of the best ways for you to show the teacher that you’ve really learned what’s being taught, and for the teacher to figure out what grade you should get. Grades are also a way to show your parents how you’re doing in school.
To keep you motivated. Admit it: you work harder if you know someone is checking up on your work. For example, if your mom tells you to clean your room but you know she will never go in and check, then you might not do it, right? 40.________ Because you know that you’ll eventually have to take a test on the material and you might be more likely to give it that extra effort and make sure you know everything you’re supposed to know.
A. To see if you’re learning.
B. To see if you are totally prepared.
C. Students must work hard to get good grades.
D. Well, believe it or not, tests don’t just exist to trouble you.
E. Grades are important in most schools, and tests play a big role.
F. So schools have to prove they’re trying their best to educate students.
G. Well, tests help make sure that you don’t leave your homework behind.
