Small Schools Rising This year's list of the top 100 high schools shows that today,those with fewerstudents are flourishing. Fifty years ago, they were the latest thing in educationalreform: big, modern,suburban high schools with students counted in the thousands. Asbaby boomers(二战后婴儿潮时期出生的人) came of high-school age, big schools promisedeconomic efficiency.A greater choice of courses, and, of course, better football teams.Only years later did weunderstand the trade-offs this involved: the creation of excessivebureaucracies(官僚机构)the difficulty of forging personal connections betweenteachers and students.SATscores began dropping in 1963;today,on average,30% of students donot complete highschool in four years, a figure that rises to 50% in poor urbanneighborhoods. While theemphasis on teaching to higher, test-driven standards as set in NoChild Left Behindresulted in significantly better performance in elementary(and somemiddle)schools, highschools for a variety of reasons seemed to have made littleprogress. Size isn't everything, but it does matter, and the past decadehas seen a noticeablecountertrend toward smaller schools. This has been due ,in part ,tothe Bill and Melinda

Gates Foundation, which has invested $1.8 billion in American highschools, helping toopen about 1,000 small schools-most of them with about 400 kidseach with an averageenrollment of only 150 per grade, About 500 more are on the drawingboard. Districts allover the country are taking notice, along with mayors in citieslike New York, Chicago andSan Diego. The movement includes independent public charterschools, such as No.1BASIS in Tucson, with only 120 high-schoolers and 18 graduates thisyear. It embracesdistrict-sanctioned magnet schools, such as the Talented and GiftedSchool, with 198 students, and the Science and EngineeringDallas, as well as the City Honors School in Buffalo, N.Y., whichgrew out of volunteerevening seminars for students. And it includes alternative schoolswith students selectedby lottery(抽签)such as H-B Woodlawn in Arlington, Va. And mostnoticeable of all, thereis the phenomenon of large urban and suburban high schools thathave split up intosmaller units of a few hundred, generally housed in the samegrounds that once boastedthousands of students all marching to the same band. Hillsdale High School in San Mateo, Calif, is one of those,ranking No.423-among thetop 2% in the country-on Newsweek's annual ranking of America's tophigh schools. The

success of small schools is apparent in the listings. Ten yearsago, when the firstNewsweek list based on college-level test participation waspublished, only three of thetop 100 schools had graduating Classes smaller than 100 students.This year there are 22.Nearly 250 schools on the full ,Newsweek list of the top 5% ofschools nationally hadfewer than 200 graduates in 2007. Although many of Hillsdale's students came from wealthyhouseholds, by the late1990 average test scores were sliding and it had earned theunaffectionate nickname (绰号) \"Hillsjail. \" Jeff Gilbert. A Hillsdale teacher who becameprincipal last year, rememberssitting with other teachers watching students file out of agraduation ceremony and askingone another in astonishment, \"How did that student graduate?\" So in 2003 Hillsdale remade itself into three \"houses,\"romantically named Florence,Marrakech and Kyoto. Each of the 300 arriving ninth graders arerandomly(随机地)assigned to one of the houses. Where they will keep the same fourcore subject teachersfor two years, before moving on to another for 11th and 12thgrades. The closeness thissystem cultivates is reinforced by the institution of \"advisory\"classes Teachers meet withstudents in groups of 25, five mornings a week, for open-endeddiscussions of everything

But by senior year, two-thirds have moved up tophysics,\" says Gilbert \"Our kids are coming to school in partbecause they know there areadults here who know them and care for them.\"But not all schoolsshow advances afterdownsizing, and it remains to be seen whether smaller schools willbe a cure-all solution. The Newsweek list of top U.S. high schools was made this year, asin years past,according to a single metric, the proportion of students takingcollege-level exams. Overthe years this system has come in for its share of criticism forits simplicity. But that is also its strength: it's easy forschools if they'd like.

Passage One Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage. In times of economic crisis. Americans turn to their families forsupport. If the GreatDepression is any guide, we may see a drop in our skyhigh divorcerate. But this won't necessarilyrepresent. an increase in happy marriages. In the long run, theDepression weakened Americanfamilies, and the current crisis will probably do the same. We tend to think of the Depression as a time when families pulledtogether to survive hugejob losses, By 1932. when nearly one-quarter of the workforce wasunemployed, the divorce ratehad declined by around 25% from 1929 But this doesn't mean peoplewere suddenly happier withtheir marriages. Rather, with incomes decreasing and insecure jobs,unhappy couples oftencouldn't afford to divorce. They feared neither spouse could managealone. Today, given the job losses of the past year, fewer unhappycouples will risk starting separatehouseholds, Furthermore, the housing market meltdown will make itmore difficult for them tofinance their separations by selling their homes. After financial disasters family members also tend to do whateverthey can to help each other

and their communities, A 1940 book. The Unemployed Man and HisFamily, described a family inwhich the husband initially reacted to losing his job \"withtireless search for work.\"He was alwaysactive, looking for odd jobs to do. The problem is that such an impulse is hard to sustain Across thecountry, many similarfamilies were unable to maintain the initial boost in morale(士气).For some, the hardships of lifewithout steady work eventually overwhelmed their attempts to keeptheir families together. Thedivorce rate rose again during the rest of the decade as therecovery took hold. Millions of American families may now be in the initial stage oftheir responses to the currentcrisis, working together and supporting one another through theearly months of unemployment. Today's economic crisis could well generate a similar number ofcouples whose relationshipshave been irreparably(无法弥补地)ruined. So it's only when theeconomy is healthy again thatwe'll begin to see just how many broken families have been created. 注意此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。 57In the initial stage, the current economic crisis is likelyto __________.

短文 Passage 1 I first met Joe Ganz when we were both nine years old, which isprobably the only reason he’s one of my best friends. If I had first met Joe as a freshman inhigh school we wouldn’t evenhave had the chance to get to know each other. Joe is a daystudent, but I am a boarding student.We haven’t been in same classes, sports or extra-curricularactivities. Nonetheless, I spend nearlyevery weekend at his house and we talk on the phone every night.This is not to say that we wouldnot have been compatible if we had first met in our freshman year.Rather, we would not havebeen likely to spend enough time getting to know each other due tothe lack of immediately visiblemutual interests. In fact, to be honest, I struggle even now tothink of things we have in common.But maybe that’s what makes us enjoy each other’s company somuch. When I look at myfriendship with Joe, I wonder how many people I’ve known whom Inever disliked, but simply

didn’t take the time to get to know. Thanks to Joe, I haverealized how little basis there is for thesocial divisions that exist in every community. Since thisrealization, I have begun to make aneven more determined effort to find friends in unexpected peopleand places。 Q: 26: Why does the speaker say Joe Ganz became one of his bestfriends? 27: Where does the speaker spend most of his weekends? 28: What has the speaker learned from his friendship with Joe? Passage 2 It was a bad night for Lewis. His research in the neighboringtown has taken longer than heexpected. It was late and he was very tired when he drove home.

space. The first block was full. The next block was almost empty.Lewis didn’t see a “noparking” sign, but he has expected that his parking were allowedthere. Most the spaces would befilled. Then he saw a small parking lot with two free spaces. Hewas so glad to see them that hedidn’t even think to read the sign by the entrance. He drove in,parked and hurried home to go tobed. The next morning he went back to the lot to get his car. Itwas gone. He ran home andtelephoned the city police to say that his car had been stolen. Ittook the police only a minute totell him what had happened: his car had been on a private lot. Ithad been taken away by the police.Lewis had to take a taxi to visit the city garage far from the citycenter. He had to pay a fee of 40dollars to get his car back.

31: Where did Lewis finally get his car back? Passage 3 Well, to pick up where we left off last time, I believe we agreedthat creativity is a mysteriousidea. It was those things we all recognize when we see it, but wedon’t really understand what it is.We seem to feel that some people are naturally creative, but we don’t know how they got that way.Is creativity a natural gift like good looks, or is it somethingthat can be acquired like knowledge?Perhaps if we analyze the creative process carefully, we might getsome insight into what it is andhow it might work in our lives. The creative process has alwaysbeen accepted as the source of allimportant work in the arts, but we should not think the creativityplays a role only in the arts.Every major scientific discovery began with someone imagining theworld to look differentlyfrom the way others saw it. And this is what creativity is allabout -- imagining the world in a newway. And despite what you may believe about the limits of your owncreative imaginations, we allhave the potential to imagine the world in an absolutely new way.In fact, you are born with it. It is

your birth right as a human being. And what’s more, you use itevery day, almost every momentof your life. Your creative imagination is what you use to makesense of your experiences. It’syour creative mind that gets meaning from chaos of experiences andbrings order to your world。 32. What did the speaker most probably discuss last time? 33. What is the widely accepted idea about the creative process? 34. What leads to major scientific discoveries according to thespeaker? 35. What does the speaker imply about the creative process? 复合式听写 Students have been complaining more and more about stolenproperty.

police to do the job? There are twenty officers in the campussecurity division. Their job is tohandle crime, accidents, lost-and-found items and traffic problemson campus. More than half oftheir time is spent directing traffic and writing parking tickets.Responding promptly toaccidents and other emergencies is important, but it is theirsmallest job. Dealing with crime takesup the rest of their time. Very rarely do any violent crimesactually occur. In the last five years.There have been no murders, seven robberies and about 60 otherviolent attacks, most of theseinvolving fights at parties. On the other hand, there have beenhundreds of thefts and cases ofdeliberate damaging of public property, which usually involvesbreaking windows or lights orwriting on walls. The thefts are not the carefully plannedburglaries that you see in movies. Thingsget stolen when it’s easy to steal them, because they are leftlying around unwatched. Do wereally need more police? Hiring more campus police will cost money,possibly making our tuitiongo up again. A better way to solve this problem might be for all ofus to be more careful with ourthings。
