1、Status of Teachers in AmericaAt present, in many American cities especially, many teachers in the public schools say they are underpaid. They point to jobs such as secretary ｏｒtruck driver, which often pay more to start than that of the teacher. In many other fields, such as law, medicine, computer science, a beginning worker may make more than a teacher who has taught fｏｒseveral year.Teaching has never been a profession that attracted people interested in high salaries. It is by history a profession that has provided rewards in addition to money, the satisfaction of sharing knowledge, of influencing others, of guiding young people. But in the past several years, there are more difficulties in teaching, fｏｒmany, than there are rewards.Unruly students, who would have chosen teaching as their life career in the past, are going into other fields.Another reason fｏｒthis change in teacher candidates is the changing status of women in the United States. Until the late 1960s ａｎｄ　1970s, one of the most popular choices fｏｒwomen was teaching. But as other professions, such as law ａｎｄ　medicine opened up to women, women stopped pouring into teacher training programs. Thus, a majｏｒpool of excellent candidates fｏｒthe teaching profession dwindled(减少).Bit by bit government officials ａｎｄ　others realized that the status of the teacher had suffered. They talked about change. But change in a vast society like the United States is not easy. People\'s attitudes have formed over many years, ａｎｄ　sometimes change takes many years.Which of the following is not a reason that influences women in their decision to become teachers?【单选题】

A.How much income the job can pay.

B.The changing status of women.

C.Less housework fｏｒwomen to do.

D.More professions opened up to women.

正确答案:C

答案解析:A选项可以在第2段中找到；B和D选项可以在第4段中找到，只有C选项没有提到。按照常理，选择当老师不可能是由于女人家务事少，因此选C。

2、March MadnessFｏｒthe rest of the month, an epidemic (流行病) will sweep across the US. It will keep kids stay home from school. College students will ignore piles of homework. Employees will suddenly lose their abilities to concentrate.The disease, known as "March Madness", refers to the nearly 65 teams in US men\'s college basketball tournament, it begins on March 15 ａｎｄ　lasts through the beginning of April. Teams compete against each other in a single elimination tournament that eventually crowns a national champion.Nearly 20 million Americans will become the prisoners of basketball festival madness.The fun comes partly from guessing the winners fｏｒevery game. Friends compete against friends, husbands against wives, ａｎｄ　colleagues against bosses.Big name schools are usually favored to advance into the tournament. But each year there are dark horses from little - known universities.This adds to the madness. Watching a team from a school with 3,000 students beat a team from a school with 30,000, fｏｒmany Americans, is an exciting experience. Last year the little - known George Mason University was one of the final four teams. Many people had never even heard of the university before the tournament.College basketball players are not paid, so the game is making a name fｏｒtheir university ａｎｄ　themselves. But ft doesn\'t mean money isn\'t involved. About $ 4 billion will be spent gambling on the event. According to Media Life magazine, the event will draw over $ 500 million in advertising revenue this year, topping the post - season revenue, including the NBA (全国篮球协会).Which of the following is NOT an instance of "March Madness"? ____【单选题】

4、Britain\'s Solo SailorEllen MacArthur started sailing when she was eight, going out on sailing trips with her aunt. She loved it so much that she saved her money fｏｒthree years to buy her first small sailing boat. When she was 18, she sailed alone around Britain ａｎｄ　won the "Young Sailｏｒof the Year" award.Ellen became famous in 2001. Aged only 24, she was one of the only two women who entered the Vendee Globe round the world solo race, which lasts 100 days. Despite of many problems, she came the second in the race out of 24 competitors ａｎｄ　she was given a very warm welcome when she returned.Ambition ａｎｄ　determination have always been a big part of Ellen\'s personality. When she was younger, she lived in a kind of hut (棚屋) fｏｒthree years while she was trying to get sponsorship to compete in a transatlantic race. Then she took a one - way ticket to France, bought a tiny seven meter Class Mini yacht (游艇), slept under it while she was repairing it, ａｎｄ　then she raced it 4,000 kilometres across the Atlantic in 1997, alone fｏｒ33 days.Ellen has to learn many things, because sailing single - handed means that she has to be her own captain, electrician, sailmaker, engineer, doctor, journalist, cameraman ａｎｄ　cooker, She also has to be very fit, ａｎｄ　because of the dangers of sleeping fｏｒlong periods of time she\'s in the middle of the ocean, she has trained herself to sleep fｏｒabout 20 minutes at a time.ａｎｄ　she needs courage. Once, in the middle of the ocean, she had to climb the mast (桅杆) of a boat to repair the sails at four o\'clock in the morning, with 100 kph winds blowing around her. It took her many hours to make the repairs, Ellen says: "I was exhausted when came down. It\'s hard to describe how it feels to be up there. It\'s like trying to hold onto a big pole, which fｏｒme is just too big to get my arms around, with someone kicking you all the time ａｎｄ　trying to shake you off".But in her diary, Ellen also describes moments which is worthwhile (值得的) :"A beautiful sunrise started the day, with black clouds slowly lit by the bright yellow sun. I have a very strong feeling of pleasure, being out here on the ocean ａｎｄ　having the chance to live this. I just feel lucky to be here."In the Vendee Globe race, Ellen won ____.【单选题】
