literature and other liberal arts.evan glazer: “curriculum, when its seen within one 5 context, youre really just 6 knowledge and skills. but if you want to look at the complexity of real problems and 7 solutions, it requires people to come at them from different 8. and so we foster (培養(yǎng)) a lot of team teaching, 9 with teachers from different 10 so that, when theyre offering challenges to students, that they have 11 view-points as they approach problems.”he points out that as east asian countries consider greater 12 for their schools, american education is 13 in the opposite direction. most states have recently approved 14 standards in math and reading.evan glazer: “in china and in korea there is a strong interest in trying to get students to be more creative. and in america there

(首映) in cinemas. as first embodied by scottish actor sean connery, agent 007 was a fearless, cool-as-ice spy who excelled at sleuthing (偵查), fighting and saving the world.since then, more than 20 films featuring the iconic (偶像的) spy have been releasedmaking it one of the longest-running franchises (授權(quán)) in the history of cinema. on nov 9, the 23rd bond movie, skyfall, celebrated the legends 50th birthday.over the years, audiences have changed. it doesnt matter. six different actors have acted 007 and it doesnt matter. even shocking technological and cultural changes cant bend bond. why? is it the action, the sexy women, the cars, the gadgets and the exotic locations? yes, but the most important reason is still the man himself. bond can challenge his boss and shoot a bad guy in mere minutes. he is an expert in literature, languages, art and fine wines. he has a sharp tongue besides his wits. in the first film dr. no, as connery lit a cigarette, we heard james bonds voice and saw his caf for the first time. the simple scene and short phrase have defined the character for half a century.“next to the beatles and stones, james bond was the greatest british import of the 1960s,” david kamp, a us contributing editor for vanity fair, wrote in a recent article about the birth of bond and its influence on the us.the bond phenomenon has clearly affected movie culture, pop culture and spy culture. but perhaps the most amazing thing is that 007 has survived in the age of feminism. “talking of objectifying women, bond is essential huge henfner (founder of playboy magazine) with a gun,” movie critic xan brooks told the guardian. “but women liked bond, too. he couldnt have run for 50 years with male fans alone.”we love bond for many reasonsafter all 50 years, bond is still breathtaking. thrilling ride into the very heart of an icon like no other. but most of all, we may love him for one reason: “he always gets away with it.” one said.1. what attracts the audience most in james bond films?a. the violent fighting scenes.b. the sexy women.c. everything about bond himself.d. the car racing.2. what does the underlined sentence mean in paragraph 4?a. he can read peoples thoughts.b. he can easily beat any man who wants to murder him.c. he can predict what people are going to do by observing them.d. he has an unkind way of speaking and always thinks quickly and clearly.3. according to the passage, which of the following is true?a. the first james bond film was produced in 1963.b. skyfall is the last james bond film.c. david kamp is a uk editor for the guardian.d. the james bond film was popular in the age of feminism.4. what does the movie critic xan brooks imply?a. james bond films are not accepted by young girls.b. men are especially interested in james bond films.c. bond is actually a man against feminism.d. women are fond of james bond films too.5. what is the best title of the passage?a. still going strong fifty years on.b. introduction about james bond films.c. secrets of 007.d. the last james bond films.bwhich is safer-staying at home, traveling to work on public transport, or working in the office? surprisingly, each of these carries the same risk, which is very low: however, what about flying compared to working in the chemical industry? unfortunately, the former is 65 times riskier than the latter! in fact, the accident rate of workers in the chemical industry is less than that of almost any of human activity, and almost as safe as staying at home.the trouble with the chemical industry is that when things go wrong they often cause death to those living nearby. it is this that makes chemical accidents so newsworthy. fortunately, they are extremely rare. the most famous ones happened at texas city (1947), flixborough (1974), seveso (1976), pemex (1984) and bhopal (1984).some of these are always in the minds of the people even though the loss of life was small. no one died at seveso, and only 28 workers at flixborough. the worst accident of all was bhopal, where up to 3,000 were killed. the texas city explosion of fertilizer killed 552. the pemex fire at a storage plant for natural gas in the suburbs of mexico city took 542 lives, just a month before the unfortunate event at bhopal.some experts have discussed these accidents and used each accident to illustrate a particular danger. thus the texas city explosion was caused by tons of ammonium nitrate, which is safe unless stored in great quantity. the flixborough fireball was the fault of management, which took risks to keep production going during essential repairs. the seveso accident shows what happens if the local authorities lack knowledge of the danger on their doorstep. when the poisonous gas drifted over the town, local leaders were incapable of taking effective action. the pemex fire was made worse by an overloaded site in an overcrowded suburb. the fire set off a chain reaction of exploding storage tanks. yet, by a miracle, the two largest tanks did not explode. had these caught fire, then 3,000 strong rescue team and fire fighters would all have died.6. which of the following statements is true? _aworking at the office is safer than staying at home.btravelling to work on public transport is safer than working at the office.cstaying at home is safer than working in the chemical industry.dworking in the chemical industry is safer than traveling by air.7. chemical accidents are usually important enough to be reported as news because _.a. they are very rare.b. they often cause loss of lifec. they always occur in big citiesd. they arouse the interest of all the readers8. according to passage, the chemical accident that caused by the fault of management happened in _.a. texas cityb. flixboroughc. sevesod. mexico city9. from the passage we know that ammonium nitrate is a kind of _.a. natural gas, which can easily catch fireb. fertilizer, which cant be stored in a great quantityc. poisonous substance, which cant be used in overcrowded areasd. fuel, which is stored in large tanks10. from the discussion among some experts we may conclude that _.a. to avoid any accidents we should not repair the facilities in chemical industryb. the local authorities should not be concerned with the production of the chemical industryc. all these accidents could have been avoided or controlled if effective measure had been takend. natural gas stored in very large tanks is always safecwhen i was in middle school, i found out that my algebra teacher mrs. mcclure had gone to high school with dad. “gertrude mcclure!” my dad said as he pointed at her picture in my yearbook. “same old gertie.” he told me to tell mrs. mcclure that he said hello. “when she finds out, youre my kid, it will blow her mind!” he said.when i told mrs. mcclure so, she asked me. “whats your dads name?”“david murphy,” i answered.“i dont believe it!” she said. “what was my dad like in school?” i asked mrs. mcclure. she explained that dad wasnt really known for having an active interest in his studies. unlike my dad, i had more than an active interest in my studies. i was in an eighth grade math class even though i was a seventh grader, and i was on both the math team and the academic games team. i won first place in a national championship and i firmly believed that maybe those flavor of achievements would qualify me for 2.9% financing on a mortgage (按揭), a six-figure job or at least, get me some kind of prize for being a good person.this was the first time that i had noticed that my dad and i didnt really have a lot in common except that we both liked to read and we had the same group of relatives.dad was on the football team and in the drama club. he was in the air force and was the kind of guy that made friends everywhere he went. i remember once when i was little, a bunch of british sailors from the hms ark royal coming over to our very small mobile home one day. they played darts (飛鏢), barbequed, and talked funny things. i loved it. i figured since my dad had been in the armed forces, he must have known them from then. but later in life, i realized that my dad was in the air force stationed in the philippines during the vietnam war and these guys were in the british navy during peacetime docked in south florida. the odds (可能性) that he knew them were slim. i asked my mom how dad knew all these guys. my mother told me, “we took the public tour of the ship and you know your dad.”36. how did the authors father recognize mrs. mcclure was his former schoolmate?a. through a picture in the authors yearbook.b. through the authors description.c. during an accidental meeting.d. by attending a school meeting.37. when the author told his teacher that his father was her schoolmate, she felt_.a. happyb. shyc. terribled. amazed38. why did the author study hard to get as many achievements as he can?a. to get praise from his teacher.b. to win reputation for his school.c. to get a well-paid job.d. to win his parents favor.39. what kind of person was the authors father in his schooldays?a. he was good at sports.b. he was extremely popular among girls.c. he was not quite fond of studies.d. he was hard and clever.40. we can infer from the passage that the british sailors from the hms ark royal _.a. paid a visit to his fathers officeb. loved playing cards and chessc. were in the american navy during peacetimed. came across his father on a tripdi was brought up in the british, stiff upper lip style. strong feelings arent something you display in public. so, you can imagine that i was unprepared for the outpouring of public grief (悲傷) at a chinese funeral. my editorial team leader died recently after a short illness. he was 31. the news was so unexpected that it left us all shocked and upset. a female colleague burst into tears and cried piteously at her desk. somehow we got through the days work. the next day was the funeral. our big boss stepped forward to deliver a eulogy and was soon in tears. she carried on, in chinese of course, but at the end said in english: there will be no more deadlines for you in heaven. next came a long-term colleague who also dissolved in tears but carried on with her speech despite being almost overcome by emotion. then a close friend of the dead man paid tribute (哀悼), weeping openly as he spoke. sorrow is spreading. men and women were now sobbing uncontrollably. finally, the mans mother, supported between two women, addressed her son in his coffin. at one point, the mother almost collapsed and had to be held up. we were invited to step forward to each lay a white rose on the casket. our dead colleague looked as if he was taking a nap. at the end of the service i walked away from the funeral parlor stunned at the outpouring of emotion. in the uk, families grieve privately and then try to hold it together and not break down at a funeral. here in china it would seem that grieving is a public affair. it strikes me that it is more cathartic to cry your eyes out than try to keep it bottled up for fear of embarrassment, which is what many of us do in the west. afterwards, a chinese colleague told me that the lamenting at the funeral had been restrained (克制) by chinese standards. in some rural areas, she said, people used to be paid to mourn noisily. this struck me like something out of novel by charles dickens. but we have all seen on tv scenes of grief-stricken people in gaza and the west bank, in afghanistan, iraq and the relatives of victims of terrorist bombings around the world. chinese grief is no different. i realized that its the reserved british way of mourning that is out of step with the rest of the world. it was our newspapers production day. we were bussed back to the office to resume work. no more deadlines for our former colleague, but we had to pull together to put the newspaper to print. the boss invited the team to go out for dinner after work. we relaxed, smiled, joked. there was no mention of the funeral or our poor colleague. enough sorrow had been shed already. we needed a break. 41the underlined words “stiff upper lip style”mean “_”. acold-blooded bwarm-hearted cself-controlled dlight-hearted 42at the funeral, _. afive individuals made speeches bthe bosss speech was best thought of ceveryone was crying out loudly dthe writer was astonished by
