27、D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 45 Perhaps it was his own lack of adequate schooling that inspired Horace Mann to work so hard to accomplish the important reforms in education. While he was still a boy, his father died, and he had to support his family. Like most of the children in his town,

28、 he attended school two or three months a year. Later, with the help of several teachers, he was able to study law and become a member of the Massachusetts bar, but he never forgot those early struggles. While serving in the Massachusetts legislature ,he signed a historic education bill that set up

29、a state board of education. Without regret, he gave up his successful legal practice to become the first secretary of the board. There he exercised an enormous influence during the critical period of reconstruction that brought into existence the American graded elementary school as a substitute for

30、 the older district school system. Under his leadership, the curriculum was restructured, the school year was increased to a minimum of six months, and mandatory schooling was extended to age sixteen. Other important reforms that came into existence under Manns guidance included the establishment of

31、 state normal schools for teacher training. Considered quite radical at the time, the Massachusetts reforms later served as a model for the nations educational system. Mann was formally recognized as the father of public education. During his lifetime, Horace Mann worked tirelessly to extend educati

32、onal opportunities to agrarian families and the children of poor laborers. In one of his last speeches he summed up his philosophy of education and life :“Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity.“ 46 Which of the following can be the best title of the passage? （ A） The Father

33、of American Public Education. （ B） Philosophy of Education. （ C） Policies of Educational Institutions. （ D） Horace Mann and the Massachusetts State Board of Education. 47 Why does the author mention Horace Manns early life? （ A） As an example to show the importance of education. （ B） To make the bio

34、graphy more complete. （ C） Because it served as the inspiration for his later work in education. （ D） In appreciation of the teachers who helped him succeed. 48 The word“ radical“ ( Para 3 ) is closest in meaning to _. （ A） equal （ B） extreme （ C） excellent （ D） basic 49 With which of the following

35、statements would the author most probably agree? （ A） Horace Manns influence on American education was very great. （ B） Horace Mann exerted a small but important influence on American education. （ C） Few educators fully understood Horace Manns influence on American education. （ D） The influence on A

36、merican education by Horace Mann was not appreciated. 50 The reforms that Horace Mann achieved _. （ A） were not very radical for the time （ B） were used only by the state of Massachusetts （ C） were enforced by the Massachusetts bar （ D） were later adopted as a model for the nations educational syste

37、m 50 Many studies have identified a strong link between suicide and diagnosable mental illness, especially depression. So, because women suffer from depression at a much higher rate than men, they would seem to be at higher risk for suicide. Yet, women actually commit suicide about one fourth as oft

38、en as men. George E. Murphy, professor of psychiatry at Washington university school of Medicine in St. Louis, says that females may be protected because of the way they think about problems and interact with others. “Women process their experience with friends. They discuss their feelings, seek fee

39、dback, and take advice. They are much more likely to tell a physician how they feel and cooper ate in the prescribed treatment. As a result, women get better treatment for their depression.“ That treatment may help protect them from suicide, but Murphy suggests there is more to it. The approach to p

40、roblem-solving is what often lands a woman in a psychiatrists office in the first place, and that approach may be keeping female suicide rates lower. Murphy believes women are less inclined to commit suicide because their thinking is more inclusive. While a man might tend to throw aside seemingly pe

41、ripheral(非本质的，边缘的 )issues to get to the core of a problem, a woman might take more things into account. She may continue to seek input and process problems long after the point where men decide on a course of action. “Shell consider not just her feelings, but also the feelings of others-her family,

42、the children, even acquaintances-and how these people will be affected by a decision like suicide. A man is much less likely to take those things into account. He makes his decision, and its about him, so he does not feel the need to share it with anyone else.“ 51 What is the passage mainly concerne

43、d with? （ A） The relationship between depression and suicide. （ B） Mens higher risk of committing suicide. （ C） Reasons for womens lower risk of committing suicide. （ D） Causes of womens depression. 52 Females get better treatment for their depression because _. （ A） they are more concerned about th

44、eir health （ B） they need physicians advice and feedback （ C） they discuss their feeling with a doctor and cooperate with him （ D） they often urge their friends to send them to a psychiatrists office 53 The word“ inclusive“ in paragraph 4 probably mean _. （ A） including many things （ B） open-minded

45、（ C） considerate （ D） relevant to a problem 54 It is implied that a man can reduce his chance of committing suicide if he _. （ A） goes straight to the core of a problem （ B） does not allow himself to be influenced by his acquaintances （ C） consults a psychiatrist regularly （ D） changes the way he th

46、inks about problems and interact with others 55 When a man suffers 6om depression, it is typical of him to _. （ A） process his feelings and seek advice （ B） consider just his feelings when he makes a decision （ C） throw aside obviously important issues （ D） act in a hostile manner towards a psychiat

47、rist 55 The decline in moral standards-which has long concerned social analysts-has at last captured the attention of average Americans. And Jean B. Einstein, for one, is glad. The fact the ordinary citizens are now starting to think seriously about the nations moral climate, says this ethics profes

48、sor at the University of Chicago, is reason to hope that new ideas will come forward to improve it. But the challenge is not to be underestimated. Materialism and individualism in American society are the biggest obstacles. “The thought that Im in it for me has become deeply rooted in the national c

49、onsciousness,“ Ms. Einstein says. Some of this can be attributed to the disintegration of traditional communities, in which neighbors looked out for one another, she says. With todays greater mobility and with so many couples working, those bonds have been weakened, replaced by a greater emphasis on self. In a 1996 poll of Americans, loss of morality topped the list of the biggest problems facing the U. S. And Einste
