In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don’t. It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs. But this isn’t accepted by all people.Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education only for a way of living. This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education. In fact, if education is just a way of making a living, people don’t need to spend so much time in school. People can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone. Even language and mathematics need not be taught in detail(详细地), either. Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.Education is well-rounded and it is mainly for improving a man. It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities. After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human. Education is to make a man lead a better life. Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and most of them take an interest in the world.I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education, but certainly not the most important or the main reason.16. People with little education usually .A. spend a long time in schoolB. have a good chance to get a jobC. spend the best years to choose jobsD. have fewer chances to get a good job17. The earliest education was probably to .A. make a man lead a better lifeB. teach a man to write and readC. make people get a way of livingD. teach people to read good books18. The underlined word “well-rounded” in the passage means “ “in Chinese.A. successfulB. equitableC. fairD. comprehensive19. It is expected that educated people will be able to .A. make a way of livingB. feel an interest in the whole worldC. develop their abilities in every aspectD. learn subjects like language and math20. The passage mainly tells us that .A. education should make a man improveB. people can get education in a short timeC. people should be able to get good paying jobsD. all subjects are so important for a way of livingPassage 2I promised Michael I wouldn’t mention this until the season was over. Now l think it's time.Early last season, I wrote a column about an art of kindness I had seen Jordan do to a disabled child outside the stadium. After it ran, I got a call from a man in the western suburbs. He said, “I read what you wrote about Jordan, but I thought I should tell you another thing I saw. ”Here it comes, I thought. It always does. Write something nice about a person, and people call you up to say that the person is not so nice.A few weeks later Jordan and I were talking about something else before a game, and I brought up what the man had said. Was the man right Had Jordan really been talking to those two boys in that poor and dirty neighborhood "Not two boys," Jordan said. "But four. "And he named them. He said four names. And what did they talk about"Everything,” Jordan said. “I’ve asked to see their grades so that I can check to see if they're paying attention to their study. If it turns out that one or two of them may need teaching, I make sure they get it. "It's just one more part of Michael Jordan's life, one more thing that no one knows about, and one more thing Jordan does fight for. The NBA season is over now, and those boys have their memories. So do I! When the expert reviewers begin to turn against Jordan as they surely will, I'll think about those boys under the streetlight, waiting for the man they know to come. For someone they can depend on.21. The writer wrote this story about Jordan and his young friends because .A. he thought highly of Jordan's deedsB. he hated to see Jordan do something badC. he believed it was time to help the disabledD. he felt sure he needn't keep the promise then22. A man in the western suburbs made a call to .A. know why Jordan stopped in a bad areaB. get a chance to become famous himselfC. let the writer know Jordan was not that niceD. offer an example to show how Jordan helped others23. Jordan talked with the boys because he .A. needed their supportB. had promised to do soC. liked to teach them to play basketballD. liked to help people24. The writer of the passage might be .A. a teammateB. a columnistC. a coachD. the father of those boys25.

Then the telephone rings, you say hello, and the drama starts. The person on the other end has a depressing tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to. You are still in a wonderful mood Impossible!Communicating with negative people can wash out your happiness. It may not change what you think, but communicating long enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or a long time.Life brings ups and downs, but some people are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer. They only feel glad when they make others feel bad. No wonder they can hardly win others' pity or respect.When you communicate with positive people, your spirit stays happy and therefore more positive things are attracted. When the dagger(匕首)of a negative person is put in you, you feel the heavy feeling that all in all, brings you down.Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people. This could be a co-worker, or a relative. In this case, say what needs to be said as little as possible. Sometimes it feels good to let out your anger back to the negative person, but all this does is to lower you to that same negative level and they won't feel ashamed of themselves about that.Negativity often affects happiness without even being realized. The negative words of another at the start of the day can cling to(附着) you throughout the rest of your day, which makes you feel bad and steals your happiness. Life is too short to feel negative. Stay positive and avoid negativity as much as possible.26. The purpose of the first paragraph is to .A. make a comparisonB. offer an evidenceC. introduce a topicD. describe a daily scene27. How can negative people have effect on usA. By influencing our emotion.B. By telling us the nature of life.C. By changing our ways of thinking.D. By comparing their attitudes to life with ours.28. Some negative people base their happiness on .A. other people's pity for themB. making other people unhappyC. building up a positive attitudeD. other people's respect for them29. According to the passage, to reduce negative people’s influence on us, we are advised to .A. change negative people's attitudes to lifeB. show our dissatisfaction to negative peopleC. make negative people feel ashamed of themselvesD. communicate with negative people as little as possible30. What is the author's attitude towards negative peopleA. Favorable.B. Critical.C. Indifferent.D. Supportive.Passage 4Violin prodigies (神童), I learned, have come in distinct waves from distinct regions. Most of the great performers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries were born and brought up in Russia and Eastern Europe. I asked Isaac Stern, one of the world's greatest violinists, the reason for this phenomenon. “It is very clear," he told me. "They were all Jews (犹太人) and Jews at the time were severely oppressed and ill-treated in that part of the world. They were not allowed into the professional fields, but they were allowed to achieve excellence on a concert stage." As a result, every Jewish parent'sdream was to have a child in the music school because it was a passport to the West.Another element in the emergence of prodigies, I found, is a society that values excellence in a certain field and is able to nurture (培育) talent. Nowadays, the most nurturing societies seem to be in the Far East. "In Japan, a most competitive society with stronger discipline than ours, “says Isaac Stern, “children are ready to test their limits every day in many fields, including music. When Western music came to Japan after World War II, that music not only became part of their daily lives, but it became a discipline as well. " The Koreans and Chinese, as we know, are just as highly motivated as the Japanese. That's a good thing, because even prodigies must work hard.Next to hard work, biological inheritance（遗传）plays an important role in the making of a prodigy. J. S. Bach, for example, was the top of several generations of musicians, and four of his sons had significant careers in music.31. Jewish parents in Eastern Europe longed for their children to attend music school because .A. it would allow them access to a better life in the WestB. Jewish children are born with excellent musical talentC. they wanted their children to enter into the professional fieldsD. it would enable the family to get better treatment in their own country32. Nurturing societies as mentioned in the passage refer to societies that .A. are highly motivated in the education of musicB. treasure talent and provide opportunities for its full developmentC. encourage people to compete with each otherD. promise talented children high positions33. Which of the following contributes to the emergence of musical prodigies according to the passage .A. A natural gift.B. Extensive knowledge of music-C. Very early training.D. A prejudice-free society.34. The success of J. S. Bach and his sons show that .A. most musical prodigies are JewsB. people in the Far East are more sensitive in musicC. genic factors play an important role in making prodigiesD. a great musician must grow up in a family of musicians.35. Which of the following titles best summarizes the main idea of the passage .A. Jewish Contribution to Music.B. Training of Musicians in the World.C. Music and Society.D. The Making of Music Prodigies三、完型填空（共15分，每小题1分）An old man lay in a hospital bed, heavily sedated（给……服镇静剂）to ease the pain? from his heart attack.
