Pre-school teacher Rosa Ramirez has a special way of asking her students to line up for playtime outside. “Pueden pararse si llevan puesto algo de color amarillo, como una abeja,” she tells them. In English, Ramirez would say, “You can stand up if you are wearing yellow—like a bee.” But this is the half of the school day in which she teaches completely in Spanish.

Students are not confused by her language choice. Most of the four-year-olds wearing yellow stand up as instructed. The pre-school bilingual program at Gates Street Early Education Center in Lincoln Heights is part of a growing number of bilingual education models in California and across the country. Many of them are designed to serve students from Spanish-speaking families, as well as students from other cultures, under growing evidence that learning two languages can help people from all backgrounds become stronger students.

About 3.8 million students in U.S. schools are native Spanish speakers who are not good at English. They make up a large part of about five million students nationwide identified as English language learners. English language learners are the fastest-growing population in schools and the lowest-performing, as judged by achievement tests and graduation rates. Sixty-seven percent of students with limited English skills graduated from high school after four years in 2016, compared with 84% of all students.

Language experts recommend how to improve the situation: more high-quality, long-term bilingual programs can close the achievement gap between English learners and native English Speakers after five to six years, according to research.

The programs can be hard to put into practice. Problems include a debate over the best way to teach English learners, shortages of bilingual teachers, and even the fact that bilingual programs often grow fastest in areas where upper-income parents ask for them. That’s good for children who participate, but it worries people who want to see language-minority students have equal access.

“If we can make children feel more ready and more accepted, then we’ve gone a long way to making them ready to learn, ” says Tara Fortune, an expert in children education.

1.How do the pre-school children react after hearing Rosa Ramirez's words?

A.They all stand up and try to catch bees.

B.Most children in yellow stand up as she asks.

C.They are all happy to wear new yellow clothes.

D.A large number of the children are confused.

2.What is the purpose of bilingual education models in America?

A.To help students from other cultures study.

B.To help students learn as many languages as they can.

C.To make English popular among students abroad.

D.To make students from other backgrounds physically stronger.

3.What is the situation of students who are native Spanish speakers, according to the passage?

A.They make up a small share of English language learners.

B.Sixteen percent of them fail to graduate every year on average.

C.They perform relatively poorly in studies.

D.84% of them can graduate with good scores.

4.What is the bilingual program like?

A.It is not accepted by rich families from other cultures.

B.It is not a good thing if it lasts for the whole life of students.

C.It is common in schools with students from different backgrounds.

D.It is hard to introduce especially with language-minority students.

Teens and their teachers know well that early-morning classes can be tiring. Doctors now have a solution: for better teen health, push the sleep button on school start times. Janet Croft, who studies teens and sleep at the Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention(CDC)in Atlanta high schools, says, “Most teens are actually brain dead when they go to these early classes. Too many students start their day as walking zombies(僵尸).”

One report stresses the importance of sleep for teens and describes the dangers from not getting enough sleep. Studies in the past have shown over and over that teens lacking sleep face higher risks of being overweight and being frustrated.

Many teens get too little sleep because they attend middle and high schools that start earlier than 8:30 am. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics(AAP),those early start times throw off a student’s internal body rhythm, called the circadian clock(生物钟).Too little sleep disturbs that clock and causes problems.

The study conducted by the National Sleep Foundation found that nearly 6 in every 10 middle school students and 9 in 10 high school students are sleeping too little. Yet many parents aren’t aware of this. In the same study,7 of every 10 parents said they believed their kids did sleep enough. That study shows too many parents are unaware of the science on teen-sleep needs, says Owens.

Kyla Wahlstrom, a former teacher, who has spent a lot of time with teens lacking sleep, says: “An incredible number of students are either sleeping at their desks or sitting there like a lump, not asking questions or raising their hands.”

Getting enough sleep can help a teen on the inside, too. Several studies have shown that children and teenagers who don’t sleep enough are more likely to become obese, or extremely overweight. Teens lacking sleep also are more likely to suffer from anxiety, depression and mood disorders. It’s time to recognize how important sleep is, particularly to teenagers.

1.What does the author want to stress by mentioning “walking zombies” in Paragraph 2?

A.The students’ brain health is worrying.

B.The students are fond of computer games.

C.The students are so used to staying up very late.

D.The students are in a bad state of learning in early classes.

2.According to AAP in Paragraph 4, early school schedules affect teens by

A.increasing their course load

B.affecting their circadian clock

C.affecting their performance at school

D.disturbing their relationships with classmates

3.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A.The number of teens lacking sleep is growing fast.

B.Physical and mental health are equally important to teens.

C.It is really necessary to adjust school start times in the morning.

D.Teachers should take measures to raise students’ interest in learning.

4.What’s the main idea of the text?

A.Parents are unaware of their kids’ sleep condition.

B.Being overweight is very common among American teens.

C.Early school start times can turn teens into the walking dead.

D.Researchers have found out how sleep is related to teens’ study.

The U.S. high school dropout rate has fallen in recent years, with the number of dropouts declining from 1 million in 2012 to about 750,000 in 2016, according to a new study released on Tuesday. The number of “dropout factories" — high schools in which fewer than 60 percent of freshmen graduate in four years—declined significantly during the same period.

"Clear progress is being made," said Bob Wise, a former West Virginia governor who heads the Alliance for Excellent Education, one of the organizations that published the study. “It’s not a total success yet. We shouldn't take a victory lap. But we can at least start warming up.”

Education Secretary Arne Duncan has said the improving graduation rate serves as evidence that the nation's public schools are making progress. But there are many reasons that graduation rates can rise, and not all of them have to do with stronger schools preparing more students for life after high school.

Alabama, for example，made outsize gains in 2014: Its graduation fate jumped more than six percentage points, the second-biggest increase in the nation. But the increase coincided with a policy change that took in the same year: Alabama students no longer had to pass a high school exit exam to earn a diploma. So what looks like a major improvement stemmed at least in part from easier requirements.

It is also not clear how many students are graduating with the skills they need for the workplace or for college. Graduation requirements vary widely across states, and many states offer multiple levels of diplomas with different requirements.

Arizona students can earn a standard diploma that requires four courses in math, four in English and three in science, according to Achieve, a nonprofit organization that has studied graduation requirements in each state. But Arizona students also can earn a “Grand Canyon" diploma, which requires just two courses each in math, science and English—less than many colleges require for admission.

1.The passage is meant to say that 　　　　　 .

A.there are few dropouts in U. S. high schools

B.the U.S. high school dropout rate has fallen

C.the number of “dropout factories" has increased

D.the number of high school students is increasing

2.The underlined phrase “coincided with" in the fourth paragraph can be replaced by 　　　　 .

A.led to B.agreed with C.conflicted with D.contradicted with

3.What do we know about the “Grand Canyon" diploma in Arizona?

A.Students need to put more efforts into it.

B.It's much required for colleges in Arizona.

C.Students who get it won't necessarily be admitted to colleges.

D.It' s more difficult to get than a standard diploma.

I have spent much of my time studying how children learn. Children come into the world beautifully designed to direct their own education. They are born by nature with powerful educative abilities, including curiosity, playfulness, sociability, attentiveness to the activities around them, desire to grow up and desire to do what older children and adults can do.

This amazing drive and ability to learn does not turn itself off when children turn 5 or 6. We turn it off with our compulsory system of schooling. The biggest, most lasting lesson of our system of schooling is that learning is work, to be avoided when possible.

The focus of my own research has been on learning in children who are of “school age”, but who aren't sent to school, or not to school as traditionally understood. I've examined how children learn in cultures that don't have schools, especially hunter gatherer cultures. I've also studied learning in our culture by children who are trusted to take charge of their own education and are provided with the chance and means to educate themselves. In these settings, children's natural curiosity and desire for learning continue firmly all the way through childhood and adolescence, and into adulthood.

In our culture today, there are many routes through which children can apply their natural drives and abilities to learn everything they need to know for a successful adulthood. More than 2 million children in the United States now base their education at home and in the larger community rather than at school, and an ever increasing proportion (比例) of their families have given up school-based approaches in favor of self- directed learning. These parents do not give lessons or tests, but provide a home environment that improves learning, and they help connect their children to community activities from which they learn. Some of these families began this approach long ago and have adult children who are now developing better in higher education and job- -hunting.

1.What is the author's attitude towards the system of schooling?

A.Disappointed. B.Indifferent. C.Serious. D.Optimistic.

2.What can be learned from the third paragraph?

A.Children of school age dislike educating themselves.

B.Hunter gatherer cultures are better than the current culture.

C.Children's self- directed learning abilities last for a long time.

D.The author put focus on students in the schools.

3.What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph?

A.Add some background information. B.Provide some advice for the reader.

C.Summarize the previous paragraphs. D.Offer additional related information.

4.What is the main idea of the text?

A.Staying away from school becomes popular. B.School- based learning damages our kids.

C.Children's learning abilities are amazing. D.Self-schooling children develop better.

Anyone who cares about what schools and colleges teach and how their students learn will be interested in the memoir (回忆录) of Ralph W. Tyler, who is one of the most famous men in American education.

Born in Chicago in 1902, brought up and schooled in Nebraska, the 19-year-old college graduate Ralph Tyler became hooked on teaching while teaching as a science teacher in South Dakota and changed his major from medicine to education.

Graduate work at the University of Chicago found him connected with honorable educators Charles Judd and W. W. Charters, whose ideas of teaching and testing had an effect on his later work. In 1927, he became a teacher of Ohio State University where he further developed a new method of testing.

Tyler became well-known nationally in 1938, when he carried his work with the Eight-Year Study from Ohio State University to the University of Chicago at the invitation of Robed Hutchins.

Tyler was the first director of the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford, a position he held for fourteen years. There, he firmly believed that researchers should be free to seek an independent spirit in their work.

Although Tyler officially retired (退休) in 1967, he never actually retired. He served on a long list of educational organizations in the United States and abroad. Even in his 80s he traveled across the country to advise teachers and management people on how to set objectives (目标) that develop the best teaching and learning within their schools.

1.Who are most probably interested in Ralph W. Tyler’s memoir?

In most developed countries the government provides free education for children because it realizes that educated citizens are useful to the country in their later life. Most countries also have private (私立的)education. This means that parents can pay to send their children to certain schools. People who agree with this system say that it gives parents a larger choice of schools. Other people think that private schools give the children who go to them an unfair advantage over other children.

At the age of three, many children go to nursery school. Two or three years later, they enter a primary school. At the age of 11 they go to a secondary school. Then they may have a chance .of continuing their studies at a university or college.

Universities and colleges are places where some young people go to continue their education after leaving school. Most university students study one main subject, though they may also study a number of others. Teaching is usually by lectures, or by discussions between a lecturer and students.

Most students stay at university for three or four years. At the end of that, they take an examination. If they pass, they receive their Bachelor’s degree, usually a BA, which is short for Bachelor of Arts, or a BS for Bachelor of Science. Some students study for several more years in order to get higher degree, such as a MA or a PhD

Most university courses don’t train students to do a certain job. Colleges, on the other hand, usually teach skills which enable students to follow a career（职业）, such as clothing design, or business studies.

1.The passage mainly tells us_______.

A.Something about the private schools in developed countries

B.How developed countries pay attention to education

C.Some general information about education in developed countries

D.Why education is important

2.Why do most developed countries provide free education to children?

A.Because the children don’t have money to go to school.

B.Because the government want their citizens to be useful to the country.

As is known to all, nowadays many students are interested in studying abroad.

Attending schools abroad has many advantages. First, by looking at our own country from outside, we can best see the strong points and weak points of our nation and therefore widen our vision and broaden our minds. Second, while studying in a foreign country, we can travel widely, visiting famous scenic spots and making friends with the local people. Third, we can use the foreign language in our daily life so that our ability in that language may be improved quickly. But the most important is to learn advanced science and technology. For all these advantages, it is really worthwhile to go abroad for education.

However, as everything has two sides, there are also some disadvantages in attending a foreign university. The most serious problem is the language barrier (障碍). Most of the students who are ready to go abroad do not prepare themselves well for the new language environment. As a result, on arriving there, they will find it difficult to understand what the instructors are saying in class. Besides, for not knowing about the customs and way of life of the local people, they may run into trouble in dealing with various situations. Therefore, misunderstandings often arise. Furthermore, the cost of living is much higher than that in our country, so most students have to find part-time jobs in order to help support themselves. Faced with these difficulties, many students find themselves unable to pay full attention to their studies and some students may even fail in their courses and learn little.

Therefore, given an opportunity to attend a school abroad, one must consider the factors carefully before making up his mind. On the one hand, it is a good thing to go and study abroad. But on the other hand, one must not neglect (忽视) the disadvantages.

1.According to the passage, the following are all advantages of studying abroad EXCEPT ________________________________________________________.

A. having more chances to get good jobs

B. improving foreign language ability quickly

C. visiting well-known scenic spots

D. learning advanced science and technology

2.The underlined word “instructors” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________________________________________________________.

A. neighbors　　 B. teachers

C. strangers　　 D. classmates

3.Why do some students find part-time jobs?

A. Because they want to learn more skills in a different country.

B. Because they want to make full use of their spare time.

C. Because they are not interested in studying.

D. Because they have to support themselves.

4.The passage mainly tells us that ________________________________________________________.

A. studying abroad is a good way to learn advanced science and technology

B. everything has two sides

C. people should think twice before going abroad

D. going abroad has more advantages than disadvantages
