    　　A Nobel Prize is considered by most people one of the highest international honours a person can receive．As you know, the prizes were started by a Swede called Alfred Nobel．Alfred Nobel was born in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, and lived from 1833 to 1896．

    第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每题2分，满分40分）
    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
    The National Outline for Medium and Long Term Education Reform and Development (2010 - 20) was released over the weekend. Here are some of the highlights:
    Four – percent effort
    The government says spending on education will be 4 percent of GDP by 2012. globally, average spending on education is about 4.5% of GDP. China spend 3,33% in 2008. according to Hu Angang, of Tsinghua University’s Center for China Studies, even if China reaches that goal, it will only rank about 100 th out of 188 countries.
    Administrative rank
    Administrative rankings for school leaders are to be phased out to tackle the bureaucracy (官僚机构) problem that limits educational development, according to Cheng Fangping, of the national Institute for Educational Research. Areas like teaching programs, scientific research, and technological development will be more independent.
    Vocational Education
    The system will be free of charge. According to Wu Yan, of Beijing Institute of Educational Sciences, this will be key to developing China’s production capacity and will improve poor people’s lives dramatically.
    Entering college
    Universities could eventually have the freedom to choose some of their own high school applicants. Normally, students are accepted based on the uniform national exam scores. Also, students who agree to go to a remote area could be admitted to university under special circumstances. The most likely change could come on the college entrance English test, which might be modeled on the IELTS or TOEFL. Students will be able to take it several times and pick their best score.
    56．Which of the following is true in the future according to the passage?
    A．Applicants could take the IELTS or TOEFL instead of the college entrance English test.
    B．Colleges will be given the right to choose all of their own applicants.
    C．Vocational education will be party free to make people’s lives better.
    D．Applicants could sit for the college entrance English test more than once.
    57．Which of the following words is closest in meaning to “uniform” in the last paragraph?
    A．formal      B．official     C．same D．united
    58．We can learn from the passage even though our country spends 4% of GDP on education in 2012, ________.
    A．there will still be 188 countries ahead of China in this aspect
    B．China will certainly overtake the global average spending on education
    C．there might be nearly 100 countries ahead of China in this aspect
    D．China will be the 100 th country to spend over the global average on education
    59．From the third paragraph, we can infer that________.
    A．school leaders will have more freedom to manage the school
    B．schools will have more limits from the government
    C．School administrative rankings are to be strengthened to solve the bureaucracy problem
    D．schools and research centers will be fully independent from the government

    第二部分：阅读理解（第一节20小题，第二节5小题；每小题2分，满分50分）

    第一节：阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。

    Being interested in a theme park since the time that I was a child, I have learned a thing or two over the years about packing for a day of fun. A trip to a theme park is always a adventure, but if you’re not prepared, your day of fun could easily turn into a tiny little nightmare(噩梦). It is important to pack long sleeved(带袖的) shirts or jackets for all members of your family. I is also a good idea to pack an extra pair of socks for each member of the family, especially the children, as those wonderful water rides can be fun, but wet socks that won’t dry aren’t so much fun.

    You don’t want to pack too much food, as you will probably want to experience at least some of the food offered at the theme park of your choice(that’s half of the fun), but it’s always a good idea to bring some energy increasing snacks, such as fruit,trail mix,etc. This can mean the difference between spending a lot of money on snacks or a little money on one or two good meals.

    Theme parks,while fun and exciting, can wear a person out,especially a child, so it’s important to keep hydrated(含水的). I would suggest packing one bottle of water per person, and possibly a couple of cans of soda or bottles of juice as well.

    It’s a good idea to have at least two cell phones or even a set of “walkie-talkies” in the event that your family gets,separated in the park. It’s a good idea to give one of these things to the children and one to the parents and make sure that each of them knows how to use it. This could be the difference between trouble and a happy ending,

    1.You should get well prepared before going to a theme park__________.

      A. because the trip always costs much money

    B.because there are always too many people in a theme park.

    C. so as not to suffer from bad dreams when going back

    D.so as to cut down your trip expenses and have more fun

    2.From the passage, we can know_______________.

      A.the author was fond of visiting theme parks when he was a child

    B.wearing wet socks in a theme park will bring children much fun

    C.it is terrible to have a taste of the food offered in a theme park.

    D. we’d better bring enough food, clothing and water when going to a theme park

    3.What does th underlined part”walkie-talkies” in the last paragraph probably refer to?

      A. A kind of transportation tool           B.A kind of musical instrument

    C.A kind of CDplayer                  D.A kind of phone

    4.How many types of things does the author advise us to pack for day trips to a theme park?

      A Three         B.Five      C.Six      D. Eight
