第1题：
The text indicates that private schools are very selective because they
[A] have no reliable methods to pick students for a class.
[B] want a good mixture of boys and girls for classes.
[C] encounter more demand than they can cope with.
[D] prefer to enroll children of their relatives.
正确答案：C
43．C该题为推理题。根据第三段“The problem for the applicants is that while demand has increased．supply has not.”可知申请私立学校的人数在增加，但私立学校的招生名额却没有增加。接着第四段详细讲了一些私立学校如何选择学生。由此可推断，私立学校对学生如此精挑细选的原因在于有太多的学生申请，他们不得不通过各种方法来选择学生。选项A与文章的意思有所出入，第四段第二句“Schools know there is no easy way to pick a class when children are so young.”可知学校认为选择学生没有简单的方法，并不是如A项所表示的选择的方法不可靠。选项B是某些学校选择生源的方法，即男女比例协调，由此可知A、B两项不能作为学校精心选择学生的原因。选项D在文中没有提及，故选C。 -

Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
Online learning is also called distance education, which helps students who take classes by computer over the Internet to learn certain courses and earn a degree. And it has become more and more popular with both young people and educational institutions.
The School of Continuing and Professional Studies of New York University in Manhattan began online classes in 1992. Its Virtual School has taught more than 10,000 students from across the United States and other countries.
Last year，the school launched NYU Online. It offers NYU's first online Programs for a bachelor's degree. Programs are offered in three areas; leadership And management, information systems management and social sciences. The classes are highly interactive where students communicate with each other and their teachers. Some classes require students to log in at the same time so they can attend live lectures by a professor Students can also ask questions and work together on team projects.
The cost to attend NYU Online depends on how many classes a student is to take It costs as much as fifteen thousand dollars a year. NYU offers no financial aid for international students in this program. If you are interested in the program, you can gel more details at the website: www..nyu.edu. Many other schools, too, offer online education. Students should be especially careful of programs that offer a degree in return for little or no work. These are known as diploma mills, and are illegal in the United States.
Educational advisers also say that before you enter any program, make sure the work will be recognized in your country. You should also make sure the schools you are considering are officially approved.
26. The third paragraph is mainly about the __ of the programs of the School.
A. academic goal and system
B. courses and learning mode
C. learning methods and classes
D. courses and requirements
正确答案：B

第6题：
Text 2 Disruptive students are a headache for public schools.They distract from lessons,skip class,and often bring down the graduation rates.That's why school districts across the country have resorted to opening altemative schools in recent decades,with hopes that smaller classes and individual attention might help these students get their diplomas.But even these alternative schools（which differ from charter schools in that they are still part of school districts and thus answer to supervisors）can be a burden:They're expensive to run,and their graduation rates are still pretty low.Desperate for help,many school districts are now hiring private companies to manage these altemative schools and educate their most troublesome students.Large,urban districts like Chicago and Philadelphia have been working with this emerging industry for several years now.Though research shows that problematic students in Philadelphia did better in alternative schools than traditional ones,there is a wide variance in school quality,and detailed information about their curricula is scarce.The question on the table is whether a business whose job it is to make money can better educate vulnerable students than a public system with no profit motive.It's not too different from the dynamic between the federal government and the private companies running its prisons across the country.But the Justice Department announced last week that it would stop contracting with the private sector,in part because it doesn't seem to save that much money,and in part because the service didn't improve either.Richmond is one of the latest cities to experiment with outsourcing education.In July,the city hired a Texas-based company called Camelot Education to run the Richmond Altemative SchooL which last year served 223 students from across the city in grades 6 through 11.Nearly all of the students at Richmond Alternative are black（97 percent）and most are poor（87 percent qualify for free lunches）.Somc black parents once dubbed it the"colored children's prison"and it has been criticized for contributing to what's called the school-to-prison pipeline-Virginia is the state that refers the most students to law enforcement.Data provided by Richmond's school district shows that its altemative school has been floundering for years,When the school year ended three months ago,the numbers were alarming:The dropout rate had jumped to 38 percent,compared t0 28 percent just two years earlier.And students'scores in nearly every subject had fallen by 50 percent or more during that time.
According to Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3,private companies_____A.have detailed information about curricula
B.can deal with problematic students better than public schools
C.aim to make money for federal governments
D.will stop doing business with the Justice Department答案：D解析：根据定位词定位到第三段第三句。该句提到“司法部上周宣布，它将停止与私营部门的合作”，故D项为正确选项。【干扰排除】第二段最后一句提到“关于课程的详细信息也很少”，所以A项排除；在费城，问题学生在非传统学校比在传统学校表现得更好，但是这些学校质量差异巨大，可知B项“在处理问题学生的事情上会比公立学校更好”说法太绝对，所以B项错误；第三段第一句提到“以营利为目的的企业……”，是花费联邦政府的钱，不是帮联邦政府赚钱，所以C项错误。 -

Parents of disruptive kids hold the view that alternative school_____A.is tolerant to colored children
B.should punish students for violating laws
C.contributes to the crime of disruptive students
D.limits the freedom ofblack children答案：C解析：推理判断题。根据定位词定位到第四段。该段提到父母认为非传统学校是所谓的“有色人种儿童监狱”，可见他们认为非传统学校助长了问题学生的犯罪，故C项为正确选项。【干扰排除】黑人父母认为非传统学校是“有色人种儿童监狱”，可见非传统学校对这些孩子不够容忍，故A项错误；文中没有提到父母认为学校应该处罚学生，B项错误；这些父母认为非传统学校是监狱，这是一种比喻和夸张的说法，这些非传统学校并不是真的监狱，没有限制孩子的自由，故D项错误。 -

B.more children have given up going to school

主旨题。通读全文可知，本文主要论述的是美国由于学生多而学校少，学龄前儿童入学困难的问题。本文不但说明了现状、分析了原因，还给出了解决这一问题的建议。因此，本文主旨是“入学难困扰着学龄前儿童及其父母”。故A项为正确答案。B项意为“私立学校的繁荣”。C项意为“公立学校存在的问题”，均不正确。D项意为“美国人首要的关注点”所指太泛。 -
第11题：
问答题Practice 2 Private school does not mean better. But it does mean expensive. Public schools in the US are paid for by money from everyone; private schools are not. Parents who send their children to private schools must pay to do so. Parents may have enough money to pay for private schools. But these schools do not have to accept their children. Most private schools accept only children who are already doing well in school and are able to work quietly, Some take only boys or only girls. Classes are often quieter and less crowded than classes in public schools. This gives children a chance to learn more of what their teachers are trying to teach them. Public schools do not teach religion. So some parents choose private religious schools for their children. These schools each belong to a church. 6 They give lessons about that religion. They give lessons in all the usual school subjects as well. Children at many private schools wear special school uniforms, all exactly the same. At public schools, students wear what they want. They often dress in bright colors and tennis shoes. They sometimes invent new and wonderful fashions.正确答案： 【参考译文】
私立学校并不一定比公立学校好,但上私立学校肯定比上公立学校贵。公立学校的办学经费用的是每一个公民纳税的钱,而私立学校却不是这样。家长如果想把自己的孩子送到私立学校去念书,他们就得自己付钱。
即使家长有钱付学费,私立学校也不一定非得把孩子收下来。大部分的私立学校一般都只收学习成绩较好而又遵守纪律的学生。有的私立学校只收男生,而有的私立学校又只收女生。与公立学校相比,私立学校每个班的人数要少些,学生也能遵守课堂纪律。这样,学生在学校里就能学到更多的知识。
公立学校不设宗教课程。所以,有些家长就把自己的孩子送到私立的教会学校去上学。这类教会学校一般都属于某个教派,在学校里,他们就给学生上自己教派的宗教课程。当然,其他学校教的所有的课程,教会学校也都得教。
许多私立学校的学生都得穿式样统一的校服。在公立学校,学生爱穿什么就可穿什么。他们往往穿着艳丽的衣服和网球鞋;有时,学生们也会搞些新花样,很快就成为流行的时装。解析： 暂无解析 -

正确答案：A
45.A该题为主旨题。全文主要讲述儿童进入顶级私立学校困难，名额少，学校筛选过程谨慎，许多父母都在提早为学龄前孩子做准备。选项A“学龄前儿童的艰难时代”符合文意；选项B“私立学校的繁荣兴旺”，只是涉及文章的部分内容，文章主旨围绕的是学生申请私立学校困难这一现象，而不是私立学校本身；选项C“公立学校的难题”，而文中并没有提到；选项D“美国人最关注的问题”即教育，涉及教育方面的内容有很多，本文谈论的仅仅是其中一方 2010年9月笔试真卷参考答案及精析第5页（共12页）面，该说法过于宽泛，B、C、D均不符合文意，故选A。 -

［A］the best white high school students can get into colleges
［B］public universities can get excellent students
［C］students from poor rural families can go to colleges
［D］good minority students can get into public universities
正确答案：D本题考查事实细节。根据题干关键词the 10% rule定位到第四段。该段提到，该规则将使公立大学录取在高中毕业班排名前10%的学生。这种方法也使公立大学能招收到一般城市学校中名列前茅的少数民族学生。因此［D］正确。［A］和［B］本身表述并没有错，但都是泛泛而谈，没有具体提到“公立大学”或“少数民族学生”。［C］在文中根本没有涉及。

第17题：
When Francis Pearman was studying at Vanderbilt,he and a fellow graduate student noticed a striking phenomenon in Nashville White,affluent families were moving into low-income neighborhoods without sending their children to the neighborhood schools We were really curious to see what that relationship looked like at the national level,said Pearman,now a professor at the University of Pitts burgh When he and that student,Walker Swain,looked at national data,a pattern emerged.The ability to opt out of the neighborhood school increased the likelihood that a mostly black or Hispanic neighbor hood would see an influx of wealthier residents."As school choice expands,the likelihood that low-in-come communities of color experience gentrification increases.”Pearman said To choice advocates,this separation of avilable school options from segregated housing systems is a key feature To critics like Shedd,it raises tough questions about whether those newcomers help or harm a community.What is a neighborhood without a school?she asks."What is a school without a neighborhood?”Pearman and Swain's national study,published in the peer-reviewed journal Sociology of Education,looked at four different types of school-choice programs:magnet schools,charter schools,private school vouchers,and open enrollment across school districts When school choices are limited,poor communities with more white people are the ones more likely to gentrify.When there are more school-choice options,though,it's the neighborhoods with more people of color that are most likely to gentrify.The effects were substantial A predominantly non-white neighborhoods chance of gentrification more than doubles,jumping from 18 percent to 40 percent when magnet and charter schools are available.The study found no impact of the open-enrollment initiatives that allow students to cross school-district lines to attend school.Voucher programs,perhaps the most divisive of the school-choice options,had mixed effects The researchers note that they didn’t examine gentrifiers'aversion to neighborhood schools,which could be based on accurate perceptions of school quality or misguided,racially biased assumptions The Charlotte study examines a similar phenomenon in one district in the early 2000s.Rules under the federal No child left behind law meant that that when schools failed to meet certain progress bench marks two years in a row,students in the schools attendance zone received priority to attend other popular schools in the district.This made those areas attractive to families looking to get into favored schools and therefore primed for gentrification The researchers--Stephen Billings,Eric Brunner,and Stephen Ross-found that the policy led to increases in housing prices and meant homes were bought by higher-income families,compared to near Dy areas where schools were not deemed failing The same school-choice programs that maintain or exacerbate school segregation can encourage residential integration.That could be a real positive,as there is evidence that growing up in high-poverty neighborhoods can hurt kids.But what do these changes mean for existing schools,students,and residents?Neither paper offers answers to how the newcomers affect those communities
Which of the following could be inferred from Paragraph 5?A.The gentrification is closely connected with the number of wealthy families
B.Wider school choices enable communities with more white people to gentrify easily
C.Magnet and charter schools facilitate the non-white community gentrification.
D.Open enrollment schools have mixed effects on the poor community gentrification答案：C解析：推理题。根据题干信息可以定位到第五段。第五段承接第四段继续介绍了皮尔曼和斯温研究的四种不同类型的学校选择项目,即:特色学校、契约学校、私立学校教育券以及开放入学招生。第五段中提到了以下几点内容:1）学校选择有限的时候,白人较多的贫困社区更有可能中产阶级化。2）当有更多的学校可供选择时,那些有色人种较多的社区最有可能实现中产阶级化。3）当能就读特色学校和契约学校时,非白人占主导的社区中产阶级化的概率增加。4）允许学生跨片区人学的“开放入学倡议”无甚效果。5）教育券计划效果好坏参半。 -

第20题：
About 35%of all high school graduates in America continue their education in an institution of higher learning.The word college is used to refer to either a college or a university.These institutions offer four-year programs that lead to a Bachelor of Arts(B.A.)or Bachelor Science(B.S.)degree.Some students attend a junior college(providing only a two-year program)for one to two years before entering a four-year college as a sophomore(二年级生)or junior(三年级生).
It is generally easier to be accepted at a state university than at a private one.Most private schools require strict entrance examinations and a high grade point average(GPA),as well as specific college prep classes in high school.Private schools cost considerably more than state colleges and famous private schools are very expensive.Poorer students can sometimes attend,however,by earning scholarships.Some college graduates go on to earn advanced masters or doctoral degrees in grad(graduate)school.Occupations in certain fields such as law or medicine require such advanced studies.
Since college costs are very high,most students work at part-time jobs.Some have full-time jobs and go to school part-time.Often some will take five or more years to complete a four-year program because of money/job demands on their time.
While the college and work demands take up the great part of a student’s time,most still enjoy social activities.Sports,dances,clubs,movies,and plays are all very popular.However,gathering together for long,philosophical talks at a favorite meeting place on or near the university is probably the most popular activity.

B.very rare
C.something difficult
