5 . Suppose nearly every student passed the tests. What would the respond be from politicians, business people and the media? Would these people shake their heads in admiration and say, "Damn, those teachers must be good!"?. But in the real world, it would be mentioned as evidence that the tests were too easy. For example, when results on New York's math exam rose in 2009, the minister of the state's Board of Regents said, "What today's scores tell me is not that we should be celebrating, but that New York State needs to raise its standards."

The unavoidable and deeply disturbing effect is that "high standards"really mean "standards that all students will never be able to meet". If everyone did meet them, the standards would just be ratcheted up again---as high as necessary to ensure that some students failed.

The standards-and-responsibility movement is not about leaving no child behind. On the contrary, it is a detailed sorting device, intended to separate wheat from chaff(谷壳). The fact that students from low-income- families and students whose first language isn't English are disproportionately(不成比例地) defined as chaff makes the whole enterprise even have more gradual and accumulated effects.

But my little thought experiment uncovers a truth that extends well beyond what has been done to our schools in the name of "raising the bar", We have been taught to respond with suspicion whenever all members of any group are successful. In America, excellence is regarded as a rare product. Success doesn't count unless it is obtained by only a few. The goal, in other words, isn't to do well but to defeat other people who are also trying to do well. Grades in this view should be used to announce who's beating whom. Comparative success just gives the winner rights to talk"We're No.1!" proudly. And again, it creates the misleading impression of unavoidable, permanent failure for some.

1. Which can replace the underlined words"ratcheted up"?

A．Ended up with bad result.	B．Increased by a fixed amount
C．Obtained within a certain time.	D．Presented in an unexpected way.

2. What is the author s attitude towards "high standards"?

A．Critical.	B．Approval.
C．Unconcerned	D．Neutral.

3. What is the text mainly about?

A．What are the ideal test standards?

B．Why do students fail in their studies?

C．Why can't every student meet test standards?

D．When do students' backgrounds make effect?

4. What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A．People are encouraged to accept failure bravely.

B．People are used to taking the failure for granted

C．Some people lack the abilities to reach their goals.

D．One's success completely depends on oneself.

6 . 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Detecting strong X-ray flares (耀斑) beaming from the center of a blackhole is nothing new. But detecting light signals from behind one is a different story. That’s     1     the force of gravity in a blackhole is so severe that nothing that goes in can come out. No scientist has managed     2     (find) light from beyond— until now.

In contrast     3     what their name implies, supermassive (特大质量的) blackholes can be one of the brightest sources of continuous light in the universe. Their     4     (extremely) gravity brings in all kinds of material around them. Little is known about supermassive black hole coronas, so scientists turned to blackhole I Zwicky 1,     5     lies 100 million light years from Earth, to investigate the beams shooting out.

Scientists     6     (detect) smaller X-ray “echoes” around the supermassive blackhole, in addition to the expected flares. The obvious light characteristics of these pulsing beams (脉冲光束) indicated that they were the same X-ray flares, but reflected from the backside,     7     (mean) the supermassive black hole’s gravity must have actually abnormal space-time, thus bending the beams around in a detectable direction by specialized telescopes. The     8     (finding), published in Nature, support a key     9     (predict) from Einstein’s theory of general relativity.

This is the     10     (one) research to confirm what the famous physicist predicted more than half a century ago.

7 . A single toy catches a child's attention for a limited period of time, but a box of items that allows a child to build their own toys will catch their imagination for years to come. This brilliant idea already exists in real product form, and it's called Toyi.

Toyi is described as an eco-friendly creative building kit, and it recently won the well-known IF Design Award. It came from Istanbul, Turkish, where a young female designer named Elif Atmaca first came up with the idea for it when she wanted to help the kids living in disadvantaged areas. These children do not have access to the variety of interesting toys that wealthier children do.

Toyi Atmaca's design allows children to transform what are around them into clever toys. It consists of sticks, junction parts, flexible connectors, toy body parts like feet, eyes, hands, and wheels that can be used to turn old water bottles, cups, boxes, towels, etc. into cute, clever, and unique playthings. This toy kit upcycles(升级利用) materials that would otherwise go to waste, turning a recycling bin into a treasure container.

“Our initial target was to deliver Toyi kits to only disadvantaged children in Turkish,” Atmaca told the media. But during a research conducted with around 300 children, .she realized that the restriction on being creative went beyond any boundary. “I saw that everything was planned and shaped by grown-ups, blocking the kids' imagination in a significant way,” said Atmaca.

Atmaca concluded that each kid needed space where he or she could freely create. She explained the entire process should be left to kids’ creativity, reminding teachers and all grown-ups that child-led play was an excellent way for children to develop lifelong skills.

Toyi's creators are now considering distributing the kits to as many children as possible around the world through different international NGOs. Atmaca notes that for each Toyi kit sold out, they will also donate one kit to a disadvantaged child through different partnerships around the world.

1. Why did Atmaca design Toyi at first?

A．To win the famous IF Design Award.

B．To help poor kids make their own toys.

C．To protect the environment in Istanbul.

D．To recycle all the waste in the dustbin.

2. Which is probably the product made with the toy kit of Toyi?

A．A new picture of a young boy.	B．A computer with high technology.
C．A treasure container from a dustbin:	D．A six-armed “robot” from a water bottle.

3. How do the toy kits help improve the children's ability?

A．It provides the kids various types of toys.

B．It offers space for the kids’ creative minds.

C．It changes the poor kids' living conditions.

D．It teaches the kids to share joys with others.

4. What is the new target for Atmaca and her partners?

A．Donating toy kits to more poor children.

B．Selling toy kits to every kid in the world.

C．Designing new toy kits for kids and adults.

D．Doing further research on the kids' demands.

8 . 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

I was in Walt Disney World with my son, Daniel, who is autistic (患自闭症的), and at that time he was 7 years old. My wife and our three other sons were with us too. He was having one of his melt down screaming tantrums (发怒), only God knows why. So my wife and I decided I would take the bus back to the hotel, and she would stay in the park with the other three children.

After we got on the bus, the screaming continued. My son looks “normal”. To the many people on the bus, he appeared to just be a kid screaming --- or a spoiled child who did not get his special toy that day. It did not take long --- less than a minute --- before the screaming brought about stares, then glares from the other passengers.
