experiences as you are having. here, i am going to give some advice to you. dont feel down when you have found the real america isnt the one you had thought. we all thought america is too wonderful for us to go. dont be disappointed when your whole family live in a one-room house. the rent of housing is increasing sharply now. dont get disappointed that the food is distasteful. the american food has their own traits. try to taste different things in another way. american food may become delicious when we get used to these tastes. dont be disappointed that the clothes look ugly. american people like simple, plain clothes. the clothes are very soft and comfortable. you will love to wear them one day. no matter where we are, we always need to keep working hard. the competitions are keen in america. especially, we are new immigrant students. we must have more challenges than the other american students. we shouldnt give up ourselves. we should believe we will beat all challenges to reach our goals. english is the biggest problem that every immigrant student has in america. learning a new language is not easy. therefore, we need to work harder to learn english. we especially need to build up our vocabularies. those vocabularies will help us to write and communicate with other people. english language is really important to learn in america. in conclusion, these are all my own opinions. these are what i had experienced or am experiencing. i hope they are really helpful to you. good luck, my dear friend. yours sincerely, jack 21.the writer talks about the following things

especially need to build up our vocabularies”可知答案。bmany people underestimate music education in the schools today. a new study showed, however, music education is extremely important.in college, music education is one of the largest programs. teachers have to learn general education materials and techniques. they must learn to play every instrument; they must learn music history and music theory; they must learn instrument repair and teaching methodologies; they must learn conducting and so much more. at the same time, much of our culture and tradition is absorbed in music.music plays a very important role in our education.music helps with math and science. students learn to count, keep a steady rhythm, and how to multiply and divide. they even learn a little bit of algebra (代數(shù)). students also use science to discover what sounds good together and what does not. students also need science to understand something called the “overtone series”, which is about how music is produced by vibration (顫動(dòng)) and why.students learn a lot about languages through music. many songs are written in other languages, including ancient ones. students must learn to translate these works to understand what they are singing about. a song is likely to be a famous short work set to music; so students are exposed to that very often while singing.students learn a huge amount of cooperation of body parts through music, so parts of the body can work better together. students must use motor (肌肉運(yùn)動(dòng)的) skills in order to play an instrument. singers and wind (管樂器) players must learn breath control and be in good shape to play.students learn about art. some famous pieces were written about important pieces of art, and students learn about the artists and styles as theyre playing the music.music education also brings higher thinking to our children. it allows them to think about complex patterns. it almost leads to a philosophical environment. students have to be absolutely aware of what every other musician does at every time. in that way, it develops cooperation, as well. they tend to develop more capability for learning.as one can see, music is very important to education.24.as to the benefits from music, which of the following is not included in the passage?a.relaxation.b.language study.c.calculation. d.cooperation of body parts.25.which of the following statements is true according to the passage?a.science and music are against each other.b.music is good to our all-round development.c.only the wisest person can learn music well.d.all of us know the importance of music clearly.26.the last paragraph serves to .a.let everyone discussb.introduce another topic c.summarize the whole passaged.explain the purpose of writing the passage27.what is the best title of the passage?a.music and educationb.an introduction to music educationc.the importance of music educationd.abilities required for music education【答案與解析】研究表明,音樂教育在學(xué)校教育中非常重要。它能幫助學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)數(shù)學(xué)、自然科學(xué)、語言以及身體部位的密切合作等等。24.a根據(jù)文章第4、5、6、7、8段所講內(nèi)容可知,沒有提到音樂能使人放松這一好處。25.b根據(jù)文章第4、5、6、7、8段所講內(nèi)容可知,音樂對(duì)促進(jìn)人的全面發(fā)展有很大幫助。26.c文章開頭提出論點(diǎn),音樂教育尤為重要,接著又提出為什么音樂教育非常重要,最后總結(jié)全文,得出論點(diǎn)。27.c該篇文章主要介紹了音樂教育的重要性,故c項(xiàng)作為題目最佳。cas a professor i have grown accustomed to the opinion regarding american education. we are repeatedly told that american schools are failing, that colleges are not teaching, and that the students of today are not as good as the students of the past.there are, of course, problems with the education system. because of economic inequality some schools are significantly better than others and the ideas of equality of education and equality of opportunity are cruel jokes. however, the mere fact that there are some serious problems does not mean that all the dire claims are true.one stock (陳腐的) claim is that america has fallen behind the world in education in terms of performance on various tests. while the fact that america is behind other countries is a point of concern, there are at least three points worth considering here. the first is the above-mentioned economic inequality which will tend to result in poorer performance when taking the average for america. the second is that many countries have put considerable effort into improving their education systems and hence it is worth considering that americas decline is also due to the improvement of others. the third is the matter of the measuresdo they, in fact, present an accurate picture of the situation? i am not claiming that the data is bad. i am merely raising a reasonable concern about how accurate our picture of education is at this time.another stock claim is that american students are doing badly on standardized tests. while there is clearly value in assessment, it is reasonable to consider whether or not such tests are a proper and adequate measure of education. it is also worth considering whether the puzzle with these tests is itself causing damage to education. that is, as teachers teach for the test and students learn for the test, it might be the case that what is being taught is not what should be taught and what is being learned is not what should be learned.28.what does the underlined word “dire” in the second paragraph mean? a.exact or precise. b.extremely serious or terrible. c.fair or objective.d.long and boring.29.judging by the text, the claims are centered on .a.what should be taught in the american classroom b.fair judgment of american education c.american students performance on testsd.an accurate picture of american colleges 30.what can we learn from the last paragraph?a.people questioned the value in assessment.b.standardized tests are not proper and adequate.c.the tests are causing damage to education.d.american students perform poorly in standardized tests.31.the passage is written mainly to .a.defend american educationb.show dissatisfaction with american education c.explain why american students do badly on tests d.offer advice on american education reform【答案與解析】現(xiàn)在人們普遍認(rèn)為美國(guó)教育在倒退,究其原因,人們眾說紛紜。28.b該單詞所在的段落主要講述了人們對(duì)目前美國(guó)教育系統(tǒng)的問題以及造成這些問題的原因的抱怨,但作者認(rèn)為這些糟糕的抱怨并不都完全正確,故b項(xiàng)符合語境。29.c根據(jù)第3、4段可知,人們對(duì)美國(guó)教育制度的抱怨主要源自美國(guó)學(xué)生在考試的表現(xiàn)上不佳。30.d根據(jù)最后一段第1句“another stock claim is that american students are doing badly on standardized tests”可知答案。31.a文章針對(duì)人們對(duì)美國(guó)教育的抱怨,作者進(jìn)行了辯駁陳述,認(rèn)為美國(guó)教育并不像人們說的那樣糟糕,目的是捍衛(wèi)美國(guó)教育制度。 dfood picked up just a few seconds after being dropped is less likely to contain bacteria than if it is left for longer periods of time, according to the findings of research carried out at aston universitys school of life and health sciences. the findings suggest there may be some scientific basis to the “5-second rule”the belief about it being fine to eat food that has only had contact with the floor for five seconds or less. although people have long followed the 5-second rule, until now it was unclear whether it actually helped. the study, undertaken by final year biology students and led by anthony hilton, professor of microbiology at aston university, monitored the transfer of the common bacteria from a variety of indoor flooring types such as carpet, cement (水泥) floor to toast, pasta, a biscuit and a sticky sweet when contact was made from 3 to 30 seconds. the results showed that: time is a significant factor in the transfer of bacteria from a floor surface to a piece of food; and the type of flooring the food has been dropped on has an effect, with bacteria least likely to transfer from carpeted surfaces and most likely to transfer from cement flooring surfaces to moist (濕的) foods making contact for more than 5 seconds. professor hilton said: “consuming food dropped on the floor still carries an infection risk as it very much depends on which bacteria are present on the floor at the time.”the aston team also carried out a survey of the number of people who employ the 5-second rule. the survey showed that: 87% of people surveyed said they would eat food dropped on the floor, or already have done so. 55% of those who would eat or have eaten food dropped on the floor are women. 81% of the women who would eat food from the floor would follow the 5-second rule. professor hilton added, “our study showed that a surprisingly large majority of people are happy to consume dropped fo
