Text 1 From West Virginia to Arizona,public-school teachers are in revolt.They are demanding better pay,and they deserve it-so long as their salaries are tied to their performance.It's not that U.S.teachers are underpaid;the median income for the country's l million high-school teachers,for example,is more than 50 percent higher than that of the general population.But relative to peers with similar levels of education,teachers are falling behind.In 1994,public-school teachers made only 2 percent less than college graduates in other fields;by 2015,the gap was 17 percent.Cuts in state education budgets have made the problem WOfse.In more than half of the country,aftcr adjusting for inflation,average teacher salaries have declined since the start of the century.In West Virginia,where pay has dropped by 8.9 percent since 2000,teachers went on strike in late February,forcing Iawmakers to pass a 5 percent pay increase for the next school year,Teachers'unions in Arizona,Oklahoma and Kentucky plan similar walkouts if their demands aren't met.To avoid such an outcome-which hurts students the most-both sides need to compromise.Teachers shouldn't have to work second and third jobs to make ends meet,as many say they do,even in states with low are fiercely defended by teachers'uuions.But they reduce the funds available for other priorities-like encouraging teachers to relocate to rural and low-income districts and addressing shortages of teachers in STEM subjects.Across-the-board pay increases for teachers may go some way toward improving student performance,but not far enough.Despite opposition from unions,school districts in at least 30 states have introduced performance-based bonuses for teachers.In schools where teacher pay is tied to student performance,test scores have nsen by the equivalent of three additional weeks oflearning.Districts with merit pay are better able to hire strong entry-level candidates and prevent high-performing teachers from leaving.Intemational comparisons bear out a basic,if self-evident,truth:how well students perform depends on how well they're taught.The U.S.should pay its teachers more-and give the best ones incentives to show how much they're worth.22.The word"walkouts"（Para.3）most probably means

A.tactics.
B.strikes.
C.decisions.
D.attacks.

正确答案：D
4．D该题为态度题。由最后一段的第一句“The worst thing a parent can do is to pressure preschoolers to perform-for example, by pushing them to read or do math exercises before they're ready.”可知作者认为强迫学龄前儿童学习是父母做的最糟糕的事。由此可推断出作者反对给学龄前儿童过度的压力，故选D。

第5题：

The Cost of Higher Education

Individuals (个人) should pay for their higher education.

A university education is of huge and direct benefit to the individual. Graduates earn more than non-graduates. Meanwhile, social mobility is ever more dependent on having a degree. However, only some people have it. So the individual, not the taxpayers, should pay for it. There are pressing calls on the resources (资源) of the government. Using taxpayers' money to help a small number of people to earn high incomes in the future is not one of them.

Full government funding (资助) is not very good for universities. Adam Smith worked in a Scottish university whose teachers lived off student fees. He knew and looked down upon 18th-century Oxford, where the academics lived comfortably off the income received from the government. Guaranteed salaries, Smith argued, were the enemy of hard work; and when the academics were lazy and incompetent, the students were similarly lazy.

If students have to pay for their education, they not only work harder, but also demand more from their teachers. And their teachers have to keep them satisfied. If that means taking teaching seriously, and giving less time to their own research interests, that is surely something to celebrate.

Many people believe that higher education should be free because it is good for the economy (经济). Many graduates clearly do contribute to national wealth, but so do all the businesses that invest (投资) and create jobs. If you believe that the government should pay for higher education because graduates are economically productive, you should also believe that the government should pay part of business costs. Anyone promising to create jobs should receive a gift of capital from the government to invest. Therefore, it is the individual, not the government, who should pay for their university education.

68. The underlined word "them" in Paragraph 2 refers to

A. taxpayers

B. pressing calls

C. college graduates

D. government resources

正确答案：B

第7题：

It can be inferred from the text that the novel is written _____.

［A］ with a mobile point of view

［B］ with a limited third person singular

［C］ from Manon’s perspective

［D］ from Sarah’s eye as a slave

正确答案：C

本题考查推理引申。第二段首句提到，读者被迫通过玛侬，而不是莎拉的视角去看这一切。由此可知［C］正确，排除［D］。第四段第三句提到，这本书的微妙之处在于随着故事情节的发展读者对所有人物的看法突然发生了改变。因此持变化观点的是读者，而非作者，排除［A］。第四段首句提到，玛侬的丈夫总是被称之为“我的丈夫”或“他”，没有给出名字，但由第二段首句可知，主人公玛侬是第一称。因此［B］也不正确。

第10题：

下列程序执行后，变量S的值为 Dim s As Long,x As Integer s=0 For x＝1 To 10 Step 2 s＝s+x Next x Text1.Text＝s

A．10

B．25

C．50

D．100

正确答案：B
解析：因为步长为2，故循环一共执行了5次。x＝1时，执行s＝s+x得s为1；x＝3时，执行s＝s+x即s＝1+3(注意：此时的s是上次执行的结果值)，故此时s为4；同理在x＝5时，执行s＝s+x得s为9；x＝7时，执行s＝s+x得s为16；x＝9时，执行s＝s +x得s为25；故最终变量s的值为25。
