1、。Passage One A couple of years ago I spent the day at an elementary school in New Jersey. It was a nice average school, a square and solid building, full of reasonably well-behaved kids from middle-class families. I handled three classes, and by the time I staggered out the door I wanted to lie down
2、 for the rest of the day. Teachings the toughest job there is. In his new memoir, Teacher Man, Frank McCourt recalls telling his students, Teaching is harder than working on docks and warehouses. Not to mention writing a column. I can stare off into the middle distance with my chin (下巴) in my hand a
3、ny time. But you go mentally south for five minutes in front of a class of fifth graders, and you are sunk. The average new teacher today makes just under $30,000 a year, which may not look too bad for a twenty-something with no mortgage (抵押贷款) and no kids. But soon enough the new teachers realize t
4、hat they can make more money and not work anywhere near as hard elsewhere. After a lifetime of hearing the old legends about cushy (舒适安逸的) hours and summer vacations, they figure out that early mornings are for students who need extra help, evenings are for test corrections and lesson plans, and wee
5、kends and summers are for second and even third jobs to try to pay the bills. According to the Department of Education, one in every five teachers leaves after the first year, and almost twice as many leave within three. If any business had that rate of turnover, someone would do something smart and
6、 strategic to fix it. This isnt any business. Its the most important business around, the gardeners of the landscape of the human race. Unfortunately, the current way of dealing with problems in education is taken directly from business practice, and its a terrible fit. Instead of simply acknowledgi
7、ng that starting salaries are woefully low and committing to increasing them and finding the money for reasonable recurring raises, politicians have wasted decades talking about something called merit pay (奖励工资). Its a concept that works fine if youre making toys, but kids arent toys, and good teach

10、er occupations.BThey have to work during vacations to make ends meet.CThey have to plan their time well to get everything done.DThey can take a second or even a third job besides teaching.29. We can infer from the fourth paragraph that the author thinks _A_.Ameasures should be taken to keep teachers
11、 in their jobsBthe rate of turnover in teaching is low compared to other occupationsCits natural for a number of teachers to quit in three to five yearsDits fair to call teachers the gardeners of the landscape of the human race30.

Passage Two Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:I was born with a disability that affects my sense of bala
13、nce, causing me to walk with a limp. Not only does it affect the function of the legs, but it also has an impact on the kidneys. The disability has had its ups and downs. As a young child, I can remember the way other children would stare at me because of the way that I walked. There were many times
14、 that my schoolmates would laugh at me and call me names simply because of their lack of understanding, especially back in the mid 70s and early 80s. Children then were just unwilling to take the time to learn why one of their classmates might walk, speak or seem noticeably different from themselves
15、. Now that I am an adult, I have noticed that the stares and names have begun to fade, and judgments that once were negative have begun to turn toward acceptance. The signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) has played a great part in breaking down some of those barriers (障碍) that, as a
16、child, left me to fight a war that seemed to have no end. Now I look beyond what I cant do and focus on what I can. I have learned that limitations open doors that have been closed, showing other ways to meet our needs. I have always looked at life as a challenge, grasping each obstacle with open ar
