Prambanan, the second monument, shares a remarkable number of things in _51__ with Borobudur. First, both huge temple complexes are _52__ to have been built at about the same time, around 850 A.D. However, scholars are not completely sure about the exact dates of _53_ of either place. Some historians think that both temples were _54_ durin g the era of the Sailendra Dynasty. Second, in both cases, the temples appear to have been _55_ just after they were completed. Why were they left alone, _56_ in the mountains of Java? Perhaps it is due to the eruption of the volcano, Mount Merapi. It certainly took a great deal of effort to build the monuments, so why would use come to a standstill without a very good reason? The third common factor is that both priceless monuments _57_ a great deal of damage during the centuries when they were left alone. Prior to efforts to restore and _58_them in the 1800s, they lay in ruin, covered with plants. Today, both Borobudur and Prambanan are UNESCO World Heritage sites, famous for their _59_ art.
B A beliefs B programmed C struggled D plunged AB independent AC success AD determined BC urgently BD firmly CD hopelessly A group of girls, on a picnic in a mountain area, had taken a wrong path. After spending a terrifying night in the high country, they were wandering _60_ cold wet and hungry. “They will never find us,” one girl sobbed. “We are all going to die.” Then, an 11-year-old, Evancell Towne, stepped forward. “ I am not going to die,” she said _61_. “I have heard that if you follow a little stream it empties into a big stream and finally you come to a town. I am going to follow that stream we saw. The rest of can come if you want.”Evancell_62_ resolutely into the woods towards a tiny stream. The others followed,. For more than five hours they _63_ through bushes along ever-larger stream beds. Finally, they heard voices, and their shouts brought the rescue party. The _64_ youngster had led the group to safety. “A born leader,” people say when I tell this story. In their view, people like Evancell are _65_ at birth to lead, while others are destined to follow. But my work with athletes, students, Air Force plots and hotel managers has convinced me that leaders aren’t born?they are made. Men and women who run organizations, lead the community and captain sports teams are the products of strict parents who follow rules that help develop a leadership mentality?strength of mind and _66_ thinking. Their children do not easily give in under pressure; they follow their own _67_. A leadership mentality pays off tomorrow as well today. Childhood leadership in class and after-school activities is more accurate a predictor of adult _68_ for both sexes than intelligence or academic grades. II. Reading Comprehension Section A（30分） Directions: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A B C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Almost every day we come across situations in which we have to make decisions one way or another. Choice, we are given to believe, is a right. _69_ for a good many people in the world, in rich and poor countries, choice is a _70_, something wonderful but hard to get, not a right. And for those who think they are exercising their right to make choices, the whole system is merely an illusion, a false idea created by companies and advertisers _71_ to sell their products. The endless choice gives birth to_72_ in people’s lives. Buying something as basic as a coffee pot is not exactly simple. Easy _73_ to a wide range of everyday goods leads to a sense of powerlessness in many people, ending in the shopper _74_ up and walking away, or just buying an _75_ item that is not really wanted. Recent studies in England have shown that many electrical goods bought in almost every family are not really needed. More difficult decision-making is_76_ either _77_ or trusted into the hands of the professionals, lifestyle instructors, or advisors. It is not just the availability of the goods that is the problem, but the _78_ at which new types of products come on the market. Advances in design and production help quicken the process. _79_ also need to have a short lifespan _80_ the public can be persuaded to replace them within a short time. The typical example is computers, which are almost out-of-date _81_ they are bought. This indeed makes selection a problem. _82_ are the days when one could just walk _83_ into a shop and buy one thing ;no choice, no anxiety. 69.A.AlsoBButC.Thus D.Moreover70.A.decisionBchanceC.luxuryD.sense71.A.hopingBstartingC.regrettingD.suggesting72.A.anxietyBpowerC.needD.relaxation73.A.hintsBaccessC.evidenceD.attention74.A.keepingBmakingC.pickingD.]giving75.A.unsuitableBunfamiliarC.unusualD.unknown76.A.howeverBthereforeC.neverthelessD.instead77.A.releasedBmaintainedC.avoidedD.undergone78.A.endBgrowthC.distanceD.speed79.A.ProducersBCommercialsC.ProductsD.Customers80.A.so thatBas a resultC.such asD.such that81.A.unlessBafterC.untilD.once82.A.TheseBGoneC.AvailableD.Unnecessary83.A.with easeBwith careC.with worryD.with decisionSection B (26分) Directions: Read the following passages.

B We are all interested in equality, but while some people try to protect the school and examination system in the name of equality, other, still in the name of equality, want only to destroy it. Any society which is interested in equality of opportunity and standards of achievement must regularly test its pupils. The standards may be changed?no examination is perfect?but to have no tests or examinations would mean the end of equality and of standards. There are groups of people who oppose this view and who do not believe either in examinations or in any controls in school or on teachers. This would mean that everything would depend on luck since every pupil would depend on the efficiency, the values and the purpose of each teacher. Without examinations, employers will look for employees from the highly respected schools and from families known to them?a form of favourtism will replace equality. At the moment, the bright child from an ill?respected school can show certificates to prove he or she is suitable for a job, while the lake of certificate indicates the unsuitability of a dull child attending a well?respected school. This defense of excellence and opportunity would disappear if examinations were taken away, and the bright child for m a poor family would be a prisoner of his or her school’s reputation, unable to compete for employment with the child from the favoured school. The opponents of the examination system suggest that examinations are an evil force because they show differences between pupils. According to these people, there must be no special, different, academic class. They have even suggested that there should be no form of difference in sport or any other area: all jobs or posts should be filled by unsystematic selection. The selection would be made by people who themselves are probably selected by some computer.
88. The word “favouritism” in paragraph 3 is used to describe the phenomenon that________. A. bright children also need certificates go get satisfying jobs. B. children from well?respected schools tend to have good jobs C. poor children with certificates are favoured in job markets D. children attending ordinary schools achieve great success
89. What would happen if examinations were taken away according to the author? A. Schools for bright children would lose their reputation. B. There would be more opportunities and excellence. C. Children from poor families would be able to change their schools. D. Children’s job opportunity would be affected by their school reputation.
90. The opponents of the examination system will agree that _________. A. jobs should not be assigned by systematic selection B. computers should be selected to take over many jobs C. special classed are necessary to keep the school standards D. schools with academic subjects should be done away with
91. The passage mainly focuses on ___________. A. schools and certificates B. examination and equality C. opportunity and employment D. standards and reputation
C Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A?F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need. A. New teachers’ opinions of involving parents B. An argument over an assignment [來源:Z#xx#k.Com] C. A conflict between assumption and reality D. Difficulties in sharing goals AB. The best way to score high AC. Proper ways of parental involvement 92. _________________________________ An Iowa high school counselor gets a call from a parent protesting the “C” her child received on an assignment. “The parent argued every point in the essay,” recalls the counselor, who soon realized why the mother was so disappointed about the grade. “It became apparent that she’d written it.” 93. ________________________________- In a survey, 90% of new teachers agreed that involving parents in their children’s education is a priority at their school, but only 25％described their experience working with parents as “very satisfying.” When asked to choose me biggest challenge they face, 31％ of them quoted involving parents and communicating with them as their top choice. 73％of new teachers said too many parents treat schools and teachers as enemies. 94.__________________________________ At a time when competition is rising and resources are limited, when battles over testing force schools to adjust their priorities, when cell phones and e-mail speed up the information flow and all kinds of private ghosts and public quarrels slip into the parent-teacher conference, it’s harder for both sides to step back and breathe deeply and look at the goals they share. 95.__________________________________ Everyone says the parent-teacher conference should be pleasant, civilized, a kind of dialogue where parents and teachers build partnership. But what most teachers feel, and certainly what all parents feel, is anxiety and panic. 96.___________________________________ When a teacher asks parents to be partners, he or she doesn't necessarily mean Mom or Dad should be camping in the classroom. Research shows that though students benefit modestly fro m having parents involved at school, what happens at home matters much more. According to research based on the National Education Longitudinal Study, a sample of nearly 25,000 eighth graders, among four main areas of parental involvement (home discussion, home supervision. school communication, and school participation), home discussion was the most strongly related
