题型：不详难度：来源：
On a Saturday, two officials greeted the nervous students. They asked the students to play a piece by Richard Strauss. But they had to sing the words to the music – German words!
Other tasks were also difficult. One student had to sing Mary had a Little Lamb, a children’s song, in an operatic (歌剧的) voice.
After three hours of testing, students waited for the results. They met some students from the New Jersey Youth Orchestra (管弦乐团). The judges(裁判员) gave them only a passing grade.
The worried New Milford students started to realize they had no chance. “I thought it was over,” said Bryan Olsen-Santana, a junior. “The person next to me was crying. I felt bad for her. I felt bad for myself, too, because music is everything to me.”
But then the headmaster came and told them something very dramatic (戏剧性的): “Someone’s played a joke on you!”
What was going on?
The test was part of a reality TV show (电视真人秀) called “Schooled”. The students’ parents, the school and a TV network had made it together.
Everything was fake. The two “officials” were really comedians (喜剧演员). The “students from New Jersey Youth Orchestra” were from another school. There were hidden cameras. The students’ parents were hiding as they watched.
As a reward for putting up with the joke, the students got gifts: MP3 players, digital cameras and school supplies. They were all from the show’s sponsor (赞助商).
小题1:What is the letter about?| A．The headmaster would come back next term. |
| B．The school didn’t have money to run. |
| C．The music department was in big trouble. |
| D．The students had to give up music. |
小题2:The students were nervous before the test, because _____.| A．they were not good at music |
| B．the judges were very strict |
| C．they thought they couldn’t pass |
| D．it would decide the future of the music department |
小题3:According to Olsen-Santana, we learn that _____.| A．their school failed the test |
| B．he likes music very much |
| C．the test was just a joke |
| D．the girl next to him was sorry for herself |
小题4:What does the underlined word “fake” mean in the passage?| A．顺利的 | B．假扮的 |
| C．受欢迎的 | D．便捷的 |
小题5:The students didn’t get _____ as gifts.| A．money | B．MP3 players |
| C．digital cameras | D．school supplies |
答案
小题1:C小题2:D小题3:B小题4:B小题5:A解析
试题分析：这篇文章主要告诉我们New Milford High School的学生参加了一次考试，如果考试不通过，音乐系就会关闭。考试任务很难。学生们很担心。最后，校长说这只是电视真人秀。小题1:主旨大意题。这篇文章主要是关于音乐学院，音乐系陷入麻烦。故选C小题2:推理判断题。根据The students had to pass a test, or the department(系) would be shut down.句意：学生不得不通过考试，否则音乐系会关闭。这是学生考试前紧张的原因。这次考试决定音乐系的将来。故选D小题3:推理判断题。根据“I thought it was over,” said Bryan Olsen-Santana, a junior. “The person next to me was crying. I felt bad for her. I felt bad for myself, too, because music is everything to me.”句意：一个初中生Bryan Olsen-Santana说：“我以为结束了。我旁边的人哭了。我替她感到难过。我也为自己感到难过因为音乐对我来说就是一切。”可知Bryan Olsen-Santana非常喜欢音乐。故选B。小题4:词义猜测题。从上下文中得知一切都是假的。因此fake意为假扮，故选B小题5:细节理解题。根据As a reward for putting up with the joke, the students got gifts: MP3 players, digital cameras and school supplies.句意：作为结束玩笑的奖赏，学生们得到礼物：MP3、数码相机、学习用品。可知学生没有得到钱。故选A考点：举一反三

Nowadays, the world is developing in a fast way, so it is very important for students to be good at skills such as solving problems, making decisions and critical thinking(批判性思维). It is said that all these skills appear in StarCraft. Therefore, StarCraft can provide a high effective environment for students to consider and take action in difficult situations.
“A student who gets a university education and goes into the business world could realize that something he learned in his StarCraft class helps him to think in a different way,” said one teacher in the University of Florida.
“The StarCraft class offers a new way to students to study. Study is not only about learning things from books,” said another teacher.

is said that the British are the worst language learners in Europe —62 percent of them can’t speak other language except their own! 38 percent of them speak at least one foreign language, only18 percent speak two.
Learning a foreign language is not at school in Britain; children start studying a foreign language at 11 and many completely at 14. So why don’t young people
studying languages at school?
The government is now looking at different ways to language learning. One idea is to start much and introduce foreign languages when kids are five. idea is to give school children more choice—they can choose to study their favorite language.
It may be difficult to people’s attitude(态度) to learning languages but the government has decided to have a try!

According to a study at the British Psychological ( 心理学的) Society Annual Conference held in London, students who bring water into exams may improve their grades by up to 10 percent.
Scientists at the University of East London and the University of Westminster, UK, did a study on 447 students. The students were studying for different degrees (学历) at the University of East London. Only 25 percent of them entered the exam hall with something to drink.
Scientists then compared their exam results with their normal schoolwork grades. They found that all those who had brought drinks with them got better grades by between 2 and 10 percent.
It is unclear why drinking water improves exam results. But scientists say having enough water in our bodies and not feeling thirsty could have a helpful effect on our brains. Drinking water may also cut down on anxiety ( 焦虑), which has a bad effect on exam performances, according to Chris Pawson, PhD, of the University of East London.
“Whatever the explanation, it is clear that students should try hard to stay hydrated (含水的)with water during exams,” he said.
So next time, when you are going to have a big exam, try bringing a bottle of water with you.Who knows – it may help you pass the exam!
小题1:How much may the students improve their grades most if they bring water into exams?

| C．reduce | D．change |
a. It is good for their brains.
b. It makes students smarter.
c. It helps students stay cool.
