Many of them drop out within the first year. Some struggle on for two or three years and then give up.”可知作者列舉了三種情況,說明有些人不適合大學(xué)教育,故選A。縱觀全文可知,作者通過調(diào)查告訴人們大學(xué)教育的人才過多,而技術(shù)工人又非常缺乏,因而待遇反而更高。最后還談到了很多學(xué)生上了大學(xué)卻因種種原因無法完成學(xué)業(yè)。 【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及推理判斷和句義猜測兩個題型的考查，是一篇教育類閱讀，考生需要根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。 When someone is rude to you, it can put you in a bad mood. It may even lead you to be rude to someone else, creating a chain of rudeness. In fact, this troubling chain may even be caused by simply seeing someone be rude to another person. You don39。 The researchers worked with 81 persons, with occupations ranging from security to business to medicine, who were asked to plete online surveys over a 10day period. Participants recorded their moods when they woke up。 Each morning the participants also viewed a short video, describing workplace interaction of some kind. Half of the mornings, the video included some kind of rudeness while the other half had some kind of warm interaction in the workplace. Rudeness was conveyed through various means, including a lack of eye contact or unpleasant language. Not all participants were affected by the rudeness videos, however. A few weeks before the study began, the participants pleted an evaluation that measured their selfconfidence and emotional stability among other things. The participants who scored higher on this evaluation were significantly less likely to be influenced by the rudeness.The popularity of rudeness.A regular cause of rudeness.C.D.To make them spread rudeness.B.To expose them to various aspects of rudeness.D.Being unwilling to work.Poor ability to do their work.C.Less interaction with others.（4）Who may not be affected by the rudeness videos? positive and kind to themselves. keeping calm in stressful situations. owning confidence in others39。 （1）考查推理判斷。t even have to be the target of the bad behavior”你甚至不必成為不良行為的目標(biāo)，可知，第一段前半部分在描述了這種無禮行為的“傳染性”之后，是在引出一項(xiàng)關(guān)于這種行為的新發(fā)現(xiàn)。 （2）考查推理判斷?？芍寘⑴c者觀看視頻是為了讓他們受到更多的影響而研究他們的情緒變化。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。他們報告說，他們的整體工作因此受到影響。故選D。根據(jù)第五段中的“A few weeks before the study began, the participants pleted an evaluation that measured their selfconfidence and emotional stability among other things. The participants who scored higher on this evaluation were significantly less likely to be influenced by the rudeness.”在研究開始前幾周，參與者完成了一項(xiàng)評估，評估內(nèi)容包括他們的自信心和情緒穩(wěn)定性等?？芍?，不易受到影響的人較為冷靜沉著。 【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個題型的考查，是一篇教育類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。 It is hard to say the first day of school in the United States because when the first day of school is and what happens on the first day of school usually are different by districts(地區(qū)). Schools in Cleveland, Ohio used to start the school year on the day after the first Monday in September, but in the 19761977 and 19771978 academic years, the school year was affected by several bad snowstorms, extreme cold. In the 19781979 school year, the Ohio Department of Education moved the start of the year to late August, one week before the first Monday in September. This went into effect in the 19801981 school year. In American high schools, the freshmen class usually goes back one or two days before the rest of the school body for an orientation(迎新)period. An orientation period helps the freshmen get familiar with their new school, its rules, and surroundings. Schools in Denver.B.Schools in New York City.Schools in Boston.（2）Why did the Ohio Department of Education change the start of the school year? A.Because of the entrance examinations.C.D.About seven months.About eight months.C.D.a book about one39。B.an advertisement in a newspapera sports magazine【答案】 （1）A（2）D（3）C（4）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，美國開學(xué)第一天的日期沒有明文規(guī)定，因地區(qū)而異。根據(jù)第二段中的”For example, the Denver, Colorado schools go back in midAugust and schools in Cleveland, …Monday in September.“ 可知，丹佛的學(xué)校在八月中旬開學(xué),克里夫蘭的學(xué)校通常在9月的第一個星期一之前開始。綜上所述，丹佛的學(xué)校開學(xué)最早。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。故選D。根據(jù)第四段 中的”In most school districts in Utah, the school year starts …next year.“可知猶太州學(xué)年從8月25日到8月30日開始，一直持續(xù)到5月的最后一周或明年6月的第一周，持續(xù)時間為九個月左右，故選C?？v觀全文可知，本文介紹了美國學(xué)校開學(xué)第一天的日期的內(nèi)容，應(yīng)屬教育類，故選B。5．閱讀理解 There are no shortcuts to success in language learning. A good memory is a great help, but it is not enough only to memorize the rules from a grammar book. It is not much learning by heart long lists of words and their meanings, studying the dictionary and so on. We must learn by using the language..

We must learn through use. Practice is important. “如果我們對于記點(diǎn)語法規(guī)則就很滿足，但在并不是真正在學(xué)語言。所以選B。根據(jù)第三段中的”Practice is important. We must practise speaking and writing the language
