20、s section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks with the exact words you have just heard. Finally, when the passage is r

21、ead for the third time, you should check what you have written.You probably have noticed that people express similar ideas in different ways, depending on the situation they are in. This is very U U 1 /U /U. All languages have two general levels of usage: a formal level and an informal level. Englis

22、h is no U U 2 /U /U. The difference in these two levels is the situation in which you use a U U 3 /U /Ulevel. Formal language is the kind of language you find in textbooks, U U 4 /U /U, and in business letters. You would also use formal English in compositions and U U 5 /U /Uthat you write in school

23、. Informal language is used in conversation with colleagues, family members and friends, and when we write U U 6 /U /Unotes or letters to close friends.Formal language is different from informal language U U 7 /U /U. First, formal language tends to be more polite. What we may find interesting is tha

24、t it usually takes more words to be polite. For example, I might say to a friend or a family member, “Close the door, please.“ but to a U U 8 /U /U, I probably would say, “Would you mind closing the door?“ Another difference between formal and informal language is some of the U U 9 /U /UThere are bo

25、und to be some words and phrases that U U 10 /U /Uformal language and others that are informal. Lets say that I really like soccer. If Im talking to my friend, I might say “Im just crazy about soccer!“ But if I were talking to my boss, I would probably say “I really enjoy soccer.“ （分数：71.00）填空项 1:_填

Believe it or not, thats the number of Americans who struggle with hunger. To make tomorrow a little better,

28、 Feeding America, the nations largest U U 1 /U /Uhunger-relief organization, has chosen September as Hunger Action Month. As part of its 30 Ways in 30 Days program, its asking U U 2 /U /Uacross the country to help the more than 200 food banks and 61,000 agencies in its network provide low-income ind

33、n this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter.Smal

34、l Schools RisingThis years list of the top 100 high schools shows that today, those with fewer students are flourishing.A. Fifty years ago, they were the latest thing in educational reform, big, modern, suburban high schools with students counted in the thousands. As baby boomers (二战后婴儿潮时期出生的人) came

35、 of high-school age, big schools promised economic efficiency, a greater choice of courses, and, of course, better football teams. Only years later did we understand the trade-offs this involved: the creation of excessive bureaucracies (官僚机构), the difficulty of forging personal connections between t

36、eachers and students. SAT scores began dropping in 1963; today, on average, 30% of students do not complete high school in four years, a figure that rises to 50% in poor urban neighborhoods. While the emphasis on teaching to higher, test-driven standards as set in No Child Left Behind resulted in si

37、gnificantly better performance in elementary (and some middle) schools, high schools for a variety of reasons seemed to have made little progress.B. Size isnt everything, but it does matter, and the past decade has seen a noticeable countertrend toward smaller schools. This has been due, in part, to

38、 the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which has invested $1.8 billion in American high schools, helping to open about 1,000 small schoolsmost of them with about 400 kids each with an average enrollment of only 150 per grade. About 500 more are on the drawing board. Districts all over the country a

39、re taking notice, along with mayors in cities like New York, Chicago and San Diego. The movement includes independent public charter schools, such as No. 1 BASIS in Tucson, with only 120 high-schoolers and 18 graduates this year. It embraces district-sanctioned magnet schools, such as the Talented a

40、nd Gifted School, with 198 students, and the Science and Engineering Magnet, with 383, which share a building in Dallas, as well as the City Honors School in Buffalo, N.Y., which grew out of volunteer evening seminars for students. And it includes alternative schools with students selected by lotter

41、y (抽签), such as H-B Woodlawn in Arlington, V.A. And most noticeable of all, there is the phenomenon of large urban and suburban high schools that have split up into smaller units of a few hundred, generally housed in the same grounds that once boasted thousands of students all marching to the same b

42、and.C. Hillsdale High School in San Mateo, C.A., is one of those, ranking No. 423among the top 2% in the countryon Newsweeks annual ranking of Americas top high schools. The success of small schools is apparent in the listings. Ten years ago, when the first Newsweek list based on college-level test

43、participation was published, only three of the top 100 schools had graduating classes smaller than 100 students. This year there are 22. Nearly 250 schools on the full Newsweek list of the top 5% of schools nationally had fewer than 200 graduates in 2007.D. Although many of Hillsdales students came

44、from wealthy households, by the late 1990s average test scores were sliding and it had earned the unaffectionate nickname (绰号) “Hillsjail.“ Jeff Gilbert, a Hillsdale teacher who became principal last year, remembers sitting with other teachers watching students file out of a graduation ceremony and

45、asking one another in astonishment, “How did that student graduate?“E. So in 2003 Hillsdale remade itself into three “houses,“ romantically named Florence, Marrakech and Kyoto. Each of the 300 arriving ninth graders are randomly (随机地) assigned to one of the houses, where they will keep the same four

46、 core subject teachers for two years, before moving on to another for 11th and 12th grades. The closeness this system cultivates is reinforced by the institution of “advisory“ classes. Teachers meet with students in groups of 25, five mornings a week, for open-ended discussions of everything from homework problems to bad Saturday-night dates. The advisers also meet with students privately and stay in touch with parents, so they are deeply invested in the stude
