poets of the time.His best-known works are Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage and Don Juan. Byron’s fame lies not only in his writings,but also in his life.He was described by Lady Caroline Lamb as “mad,bad,and dangerous to know”. Born on January 22,1788,Byron spent his early years in Aberdeen,and was educated at Harrow School and Cambridge University.In 1809,he left for a two-year tour of a number of Mediterranean countries.He returned to England in 1811,and in 1812 the first two cantos(篇) of Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage were published.Byron became famous overnight. In 1815,Byron married Annabella Milbanke,with whom he had a daughter.The couple separated in 1816.Facing the pressure of his failed marriage and huge debts,Byron left England in April 1816 and never returned.He spent the summer of 1816 at Lake Geneva with Percy Bysshe Shelley. Byron traveled to Italy,where he was to live for more than six years.It was in this period that Byron wrote some of his most famous works,including Don Juan.On April 19,1824,he died from fever at Missolonghi,in Greece.His death was mourned throughout Britain.His body was brought back to England and buried at his hometown in Nottinghamshire. Byron influenced many authors and artists of the Romantic Movement during the 19th century. 【語(yǔ)篇導(dǎo)讀】本文介紹了19世紀(jì)英國(guó)著名的詩(shī)人拜倫的一生及其對(duì)浪漫主義文學(xué)的影響。 31What’s the text mainly about?

Academics suggested that children given more time to naturally develop their language skills in the early years had a better foundation when they started schooling at seven. The study,based on an analysis of pupils in New Zealand,will raise fresh concern over reforms of pre-school education,which appears to place a greater focus on the reading skills at an increasingly early age. Most British schoolchildren already start classes earlier than their peers in many other European nations.Children are normally expected to be in lessons by five,although most are enrolled(入學(xué)) in classes aged four. But the latest study found that children who begin decoding(解讀) words later than their peers can “eventually achieve equally in reading fluency”.“Our findings suggest that success at reading is not assured by an earlier beginning,”it said. Researchers tracked hundreds of children who started formal schooling at different ages.This included those who joined New Zealand state schools at five and others who were allowed to delay formal tuition(教學(xué)) until seven. The second group remained in nurseries for two more years,where written language is banned to encourage the development of oral munication and children spend time on play-based activities,such as painting,drawing,cooking,singing or oral storytelling. Children were given reading tests at different stages during the first six years of their primary education to assess their ability to decode individual words and fluently read a passage of text. The study found that those learning to read later had caught up by the age of 10 and actually had “slightly better reading prehension” before the end of primary education. “Instead of focusing on developing decoding-related skills between the ages of five and seven,in the first years of school,it seems that the environments in the Steiner kindergartens favored language development,which later feeds into reading prehension,”said the research. 【語(yǔ)篇導(dǎo)讀】英國(guó)推遲入學(xué)年齡,提倡七歲上學(xué)。七歲上學(xué)似乎能讓孩子有更好的閱讀理解能力。 35It can be learned from the text about the study that 　　　. A.it is based on an analysis of the students in the UK B.it causes new worries on the reform of education C.it shows reading at an early age ends up better D.it is focused on the students in high schools 答案:B 解析:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段的“The study...will raise fresh concern over reforms of pre-school education...”可知答案。 36.What do the kids do in nurseries according to the text? A.They are encouraged to do writing exercises. B.They spend less time on oral munication. C.They mainly attend play-based activities. D.They are forced to attend language tests. 答案:C 解析:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第七段的“...children spend time on play-based activities,such as...”可知答案。 37.What may also contribute to the development of reading according to the last paragraph? A.Ages. B.Language skills. C.Favors. D.Environments. 答案:D 解析:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段的“...it seems that the environments in the Steiner kindergartens favored language development...”可知答案。 38.Which part of a website is this text probably taken from? A.Education. B.Science. C.Economy. D.Entertainment. 答案:A 解析:推理判斷題。本文講的是孩子上學(xué)方面的問(wèn)題,故應(yīng)屬于教育方面的內(nèi)容,故可知答案為A項(xiàng)。 39.C Forbes set out to determine which master’s degrees would provide the best long-term opportunities,based on the salary and employment outlook.To find the mid-career average pay for the 35 popular degrees,we turned to Payscale,which lets users pare their salaries with those of other people in similar jobs by gathering real-time salary data from its 35 million profiles.We then looked at the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ employment estimate data to see how fast employment was expected to increase between xx and 2020 in popular jobs held by people with each degree.Finally we averaged each degree’s pay rank and estimated growth rank to find the best and worst master’s degrees for jobs. Physician assistant degree is at the top of the Forbes’ third-annual look at the best master’s degrees for jobs.Physician assistants are medical professionals who provide diagnostic and preventative health care services under the guidance of doctors. “Both an aging population and health care reform are contributing to a higher demand for health care services,”says Katie Bardaro,Payscale’s lead economist. They don’t earn as much as doctors,but their mid-career average pay is $97,000.Another advantage of a physician assistant degree:employment opportunities are expected to grow 30% by 2020(from the xx employment numbers),according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. By our count,puter science follows close behind as the No.2 best advanced degree for jobs.Mid-career average pay for these grads is $109,000,sixth best out of the 35 degrees in our survey.Employment opportunities for puter science degree holders are expected to expand about 22% between xx and 2020.Electrical engineering,physics and economics degrees also make the top 10,all with an average mid-career salary of about $110,000 a year. Not all master’s degree holders enjoy anywhere near such optimistic job prospects(前景) or extraordinary pay.Biology,chemistry and history degrees are toward the bottom of the list,but that doesn’t mean they’re useless.If you’re enthusiastic about these fields,the lower pay and slimmer job prospects shouldn’t prevent you from pursuing a master’s degree. Before you make a decision,you should bear one thing in mind:master’s degree holders don’t necessarily earn more than other people in similar jobs,so don’t base your decision to pursue one on the idea that you’ll bring in bigger paychecks. It’s also important to think about work-life balance and employee satisfaction for the mon jobs associated with these degrees.“You need to consider overall happiness,”Bardaro says.“If obtaining a master’s degree causes an imbalance due to time devoted to education and potentially more stress at work,then one will need to decide if these costs are worth it.” 【語(yǔ)篇導(dǎo)讀】為了弄清楚哪些碩士學(xué)位能提供最好的長(zhǎng)期的機(jī)會(huì),福布斯從薪水和就業(yè)前景兩個(gè)方面對(duì)獲得碩士學(xué)位的人員進(jìn)行了一項(xiàng)調(diào)查。調(diào)查表明,醫(yī)師助理最熱門,其次是計(jì)算機(jī)行業(yè),而生物、化學(xué)和歷史學(xué)位墊底。 39Forbes turned to Payscale to 　　　. A.let users pare their salaries with those of other people in different jobs B.see how fast employment was expected to increase between xx and 2020 C.sum up the pay of those graduates with the 35 popular degrees in different fields D.figure out the mid-career average pay in popular jobs held by people with different degrees 答案:D 解析:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段內(nèi)容可知,福布斯借助這個(gè)網(wǎng)站是為了找到35個(gè)熱門碩士學(xué)位的職業(yè)中期的平均薪酬數(shù)據(jù),以比較出就業(yè)最好和最差的碩士學(xué)位,因此選D項(xiàng)。 40.Physician assistant degree ranks first on the list because 　　　. A.physician assistants are medical professionals B.physician assistants enjoy the highest pay pared with other grads C.the qualifications of physician assistants are not second to those of doctors D.the demand of physician assistants is expected to expand largely and they are well paid 答案:D 解析:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。第三、四段在分析其原因時(shí)說(shuō),人口老齡化和醫(yī)療改革都使人們對(duì)醫(yī)療保健的需求增加,醫(yī)師助理的薪水不如醫(yī)生高,但職業(yè)中期的平均薪酬能達(dá)到97,000美元,由此可判斷這一行業(yè)的薪水較高,且人們對(duì)這一職業(yè)的需求在上升,故選D項(xiàng)。 41.What can be inferred from the passage? A.$100,000 is a satisfying pay for most of the grads. B.It is the first time that Forbes has done a survey of this kind. C.Biology degrees were once hot for those master’s degree pursuers. D.Doctors earn more than those in electrical engineering on average. 答案:A 解析:推理判斷題。第五段最后說(shuō)排名前十位的平均薪水是一年大約十一萬(wàn)美元,因此可推斷出A項(xiàng)“對(duì)大多數(shù)畢業(yè)生來(lái)說(shuō),年薪十萬(wàn)美元是一個(gè)令人滿意的薪水標(biāo)準(zhǔn)”正確。 42.According to what Bardaro said in the last paragraph,we may conclude that 　　　.
