讀寫任務(wù)
閱讀下面的短文,然后按照要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。
Nowadays, the pressures on schools and teachers are often passed on to students and parents. Students are tested more and assigned more homework. In the past 25 years, homework assignments have risen by 51% according to a 2008 study at the University of Michigan. That is an average of 12 extra hours of homework per week!
Excessive homework often leaves no time for students to have fun or do something for themselves. Many parents spend at least three hours every night going through their children's work.
However, the governments' efforts to cut the homework burden of primary and middle school students have drawn mixed reactions. Ironically, though teachers have been widely criticized for piling on homework, it is parents who sometimes ask for more work for their children! When teachers don't give homework, some parents will go to the school and complain. They want teachers to assign homework every day as a means of making sure teachers do their job and the children have work to do.

Growing up in Philadelphia, Lieberman started cooking with his stay-at-home dad when he was seven. His food-loving family had two kitchens, and he quickly learned what was the best way to bake his cakes. Lieberman improved his kitchen skills greatly during a year abroad before college, learning from a cook in Italy and studying local specialties(特色菜) in Germany, Spain, and France.
At Yale, he was known for throwing dinner parties, single-handedly frying and baking while mixing drinks for dozens of friends. Just for fun, he and some friends decided to tape a show named campus cuisine about his cooking. Lieberman was a real college student showing his classmates how to do things like making drinks out of dining-hall fruit. That helped the show become very popular among the students. They would stop Lieberman after classes to ask for his advice on cooking. Tapes of the show were passed around, with which his name went beyond the school and finally to the Food Network.
Food Network producer Flay hopes the young cook will find a place on the network television. He says Lieberman’s charisma (魅力) is key. “Food TV isn’t about food anymore,” says Flay. “It’s about your personality and finding a way to keep people’s eyeballs on your show.”
But Lieberman isn’t putting all his eggs in one basket. After taping the first season of the new show, Lieberman was back in his own small kitchen preparing sandwiches. An airline company was looking for someone to come up with a tasteful, inexpensive and easy-to-make menu to serve on its flights. Lieberman got the job.

2. The Food Network got to know Lieberman_________
A. at one of his parities B. from his teachers

B. He was famous for his shows on Food TV.

4. What can we learn about Lieberman from the text?

C. He enjoys traveling around. D. He often changes his menus.

Increasing affluence(富裕)and currency appreciation are behind the spike in Chinese students traveling abroad for their undergraduate studies, industry insiders said.
The Ministry of Education last month reported that a record 840,000 high school graduates did not register for the gaokao (university entrance exam) this year. Those numbers are fueling speculation that this was due to the increasing number of Chinese students wanting to study abroad.
The total number of students traveling abroad to study increased from 144,000 in 2007 to 170,000 last year. This figure will probably top 200,000 this year, said Feng Jishang, marketing manager of Wiseway, a consulting firm that advises students and their parents about overseas schools.
Years ago, most Chinese students who went abroad would first complete their undergraduate studies in China before applying to an overseas graduate school. But this traned is changing. According to industry estimates, the proportion of students seeking their first degree abroad has risen to 30 to 50 percent of all overseas-bound students. That means there could be as many as 60,000 to 100,000 such students this year—— triple the number in 2003.
Foreign college campuses are beginning to notice the trend. A source tat the University of San Francisco told China Business Weekly that the campus used to accept three or four Chinese undergraduate students every year. Today, the number has hit 80, the university source said.
Rapid economic growth, coupled with a currency that has risen by more than 20 percent against the US dollar over the last four years, is making an overseas education more affordable for Chinese students. That’s making US campuses such as the University of San Francisco, or USF, more of a bargain. “ Students used to tell me that they did not have the money to go to USF, and they needed full scholarships. That is not the case now,” said Stanley Nel, vice-president of international relations at the San Francisco campus.
Another reason is that there simply aren’t enough places in Chinese colleges, especially the higher-rated ones, to satisfy the demand for a university education. “ Four in ten students taking the gaokao won’t get university places. Furthermore, of those that do many don’t get into the schools of their choice. That is why more are going abroad,” Feng of Wiseway said.
A widespread perception among students is that going overseas for college improves their career prospects, sources said. “ For Chinese students, capability is not a problem, but they need work experience and communication skills,” said Alan McNeilly, assistant dean at Teeside University in the United Kingdom. “ If they get a degree overseas, they can expect higher salaries and better positions when they return,” McNeilly said. His university will set up an office in China next month to attract more students, Mc Neilly added.
1.More and more Chinese students have recently traveled abroad for studines because______.
A.they don’t want to take part in the gaokao
B.most Chinese students want to study abroad
C.many Chinese people become richer and US dollar has been devalued
D.it is easy to complete their undergraduate studies
2.Which of the following statistics-related statements is NOT true?
A.The number of students seeking their first degree abroad is around 20,000 to 33,000 in 2003.
B.The increment of the total number of students traveling abroad to study is probably bigger from 2008 to 2009 than that from 2007to 2008.
C.The number of Chinese undergraduate students accepted at USF is about 20 to 26 times of that in the past.
D.200,000 out of the 840,000 high school graduates who did not take the gaokao this year started their undergraduate study abroad.
3.Students interested in studying abroad take the following factors into account EXCEPT_____.
A.financial affordability
B.work opportunities after graduation
C.a(chǎn)ccommodation standard
D.the chance of getting into a more desirable university
4.What can be inferred from this passage?
A.If the Chinese RMB decreases 20 percent against the US dollar, the number of Chinese students traveling abroad to study will decrease 20 percent.
B.If more universities are established in China, fewer students will choose to study abroad.
C.Teeside University will set up an office in China to attract those students who have been admitted to USF but have not been offered full scholarships.
D.Without a degree overseas higher salaries and better positions are not impossible if you are experienced and have outstanding communication skills.

閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng),并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。
The ancient Greeks made a list of places they thought people should see. This list was named the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The only one of the ancient wonders that still exists is the Great Pyramid of Giza. Pyramids were built as tombs for the leaders of Egypt called Pharaohs.
The Hanging Gardens of Babylon is special because people do not know for sure if it existed. It was located on the bank of the Euphrates River.
The Statue of Zeus was built to honor the Greek god Zeus. It was made of wood and decorated with gold and ivory. Unfortunately, the statue was destroyed by a fire.
In addition to Zeus, the Greeks also built a very big statue to honor the Greek sun god, Helios. This wonder is known as the Colossus of Rhodes(羅德港巨人雕像). It is about the same size as the Statue of Liberty.
The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus(阿耳忒彌斯神廟) in what is now Turkey was built to honor the goddess of hunting, nature, and fertility. The temple was made of marble and had many bronze statues. The temple was later burned down.
Another wonder was the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus. This tomb was built for King Mausolus of Caria. Later, several earthquakes damaged it. However, it remained longer than any of the wonders, other than the Great Pyramid.
The Pharos of Alexandria was a lighthouse. A large mirror inside it was used to reflect sunlight to help warn ships getting close to the Egyptian shoreline. It was later ruined by earthquakes.
