Text 1

Rowena and Billy Wrangler are model high school students. They study hard and do extremely well on achievement tests. And next year, Rowena will be attending Harvard University. Billy, her younger brother, hopes to go to Com ell. What makes Rowena and Billy different from most students is that they don't go to school. In fact, they've never been to school. Since kindergarten, they've studied at home. Neither Rowena nor Billy feels as if they've missed out on anything by being taught at home. Like many of more than one million people who receive home schooling in the United States, they feel as if they've gotten a good education.

The home-schooling trend began in the U.S. in the 1980s with parents keeping their children out of public schools so they could provide religious education at home. Today, as the home-schooling trend continues to grow, parents are more likely to consider home schooling as an option because they believe schools don't do a very good job of teaching and are occasionally dangerous places. But can parents really do a better job?

The answer in many cases is yes. In many studies, students taught at home ranked average or above average when compared to students who went to public schools. More importantly, these students were often more self-directed and have a greater depth of knowledge. "They are very well prepared for academic challenges," says Patricia Riordan, the dean of admissions at George Mason

University.

One such student, Robert Conrad, now a sophomore at university, claims he really learned how to study and schedule his time during his eight years of home schooling. Still, not every student is as successful as Robert.

"For every home-schooling success story, there are an equal number of failures," states Henry Lipscomb, an educational researcher. "There are just so many disadvantages that students taught at home have to overcome. " For example, they have fewer chances to interact with others of their own age. Consequently, they sometimes lack the usual social skills. "No matter what, though," states Lipscomb, "home-schooling is a growing trend. I think we'll be seeing more and more of this. "

26. Compared with other students, the most different thing Rowena and Billy do is that________

A. they study hard

B . they do extremely well on achievement tests

C . they never go to school

D . they feel they have gotten a good education

A. better education

D . all the above

A. Home is a safer place for children.

B . Students taught at home are more self-directed.

C . Students taught at home have a greater depth of knowledge.

D . Students taught at home can go to good universities.

29. The Walter thinks

A.parents can do a better job than schools

B . home-schooling will be more and more useful

C . students taught at home make greater achievements

D . home-schooling is good in some aspects

30. The best title of this text might be________

A. Home-schooling: A Growing Trend

B . Home-schooling: A Better Choice

C . Home-schooling: A Way to Success

D . Home-schooling: A New Method of Education

Text 2

A smile is a strong sign of a friendly and open attitude and a willingness to communicate. It is a positive, silent sign sent with the hope the other person will smile back. When you smile, you

show you have noticed the person in a positive way. The result? That person will usually smile back.

You might not realize a closed position is the cause of many conversational problems. A common closed position is sitting with your arms and legs crossed and your hand covering your mouth or chin. This is often called the "thinking pose". Ask yourself this question: Are you going to interrupt someone who appears .to be deep in thought? This position gives off "stay away" signs and prevents your main "sign sender" ( your mouth) from being seen by others looking for inviting conversational signs.

The open body position is most effective when you place yourself within communicating distance of the other person--that is, within about five feet. Take care, however, not to enter someone's "personal space" by getting too close, too soon.

Leaning forward a little while a person is talking shows your interest and how you are listening to what the person is saying. By doing this, you are saying: I hear what you're saying, and I'm interested in--keep talking!

Often people will lean back with their hands over their mouth, chin, or behind their head in the "thinking" pose. This position gives off signs of judgment, doubt, and lack of interest from the listener. Since most people do not feel comfortable when they think they are being judged, this leaning-back position serves to prevent the speaker from continuing.

In many cultures the most common form of first contact between two people is a handshake. Be the first to extend your hand in greeting. Couple this with a friendly "Hello", a nice smile, and your name and you have made the first step to open the lines of communication.

Eye contact should be natural, not forced or overdone. Direct eye contact shows you are listening to the other person and that you want to know about her.

31. A person smiles to show________

A. he is kind and useful

B . he is happy all the time

C . he is ready to talk with you

D . he sees something funny

32. According to the text, troubles in communication may result from________

A. a dosed body position

B . an open body position

C . no smile

D . the main " sign senders"

33. Leaning back with your hands behind your head in deep thought while a person is talking________

A. shows you are interested in and listening to what the speaker is saying

B . shows you want to keep some distance from the speaker

C . makes him think-you are thinking about something else

D . makes him believe you are not interested in his talk

34. All of the following gestures encourage communication except________

A. leaning forward a little while a person is talking

B . crossing your arms

C . looking in others' eyes

D . extending your hand in greeting

35. From the text we know that________

A. communication depends.ads little on verbal language and much on body language

B . gestures always prevent the "sign sender" (mouth)

C . we should pay much attention to body language

D . eye contact is always helpful

29.【答案】D

【题型】推理题

【解析】题干意为“作者的观点是什么?”文章第三、四、五段谈到家庭学校既有优势也有缺陷，因此A、B、C都有失片面，而D“在一些方面家庭学校不错”更合文意。故选D。

33.【答案】D

【题型】推理题

【解析】题干意为“当别人在说话时，你双手放在脑袋后面，身体向后仰，陷入沉思，这会怎样?”这道题需要把四个选项和原文逐一对比、逐一排除。从文章第五段前两句“0ften people will lean back with their hands...or behind their head in the“thinkin9”pose.This position gives off signs of...lack of interest from the listener.”，因此可见正确答案为D。

34.【答案】B

【题型】细节题
