12、r the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. （40 points） Text 1 It is curious that Stephen Koziatek feels almost as though he has to justify his efforts to give his students a better future. Mr.Koziatek is part of something pioneering. He is a teac

13、her at a New Hampshire high school where learning is not something of books and tests and mechanical memorization, but practical. When did it become accepted wisdom that students should be able to name the 13th president of the United States but be utterly overwhelmed by a broken bike chain? As Kozi

14、atek knows, there is learning in just about everything. Nothing is necessarily gained by forcing students to learn geometry at a graffitied desk stuck with generations of discarded chewing gum. They can also learn geometry by assembling a bicycle. But hes also found a kind of insidious prejudice. Wo

15、rking with your hands is seen as almost a mark of inferiority. Schools in the family of vocational education “have that stereotype, that its for kids who cant make it academically,” he says. On one hand, that viewpoint is a logical product of Americas evolution. Manufacturing is not the economic eng

16、ine that it once was. The job security that the US economy once offered to high school graduates has largely evaporated. More education is the new principle. We want more for our kids, and rigitfully so. But the headlong push into bachelors degrees for all -and the subtle devaluing of anything less-

17、misses an important point: Thats not the only thing the American economy needs. Yes, a bachelors degree opens more doors. But even now, 54 percent of the jobs in the country are middle-skill jobs, such as construction and high-skill manufacturing. But only 44 percent of workers are adequately traine

18、d. In other words, at a time when the working class has turned the country on its political head, frustrated that the opportunity that once defined America is vanishing, one obvious solution is staring us in the face. There is a gap in working-class jobs, but the workers who need those jobs most are

19、nt equipped to do them. Koziateks Manchester School of Technology High School is trying to fill that gap. Koziateks school is a wake-up call. When education becomes one-size-fits-all, it risks overlooking a nations diversity of gifts. 21. A broken bike chain is mentioned to show students lack of_. A

20、. mechanical memorization B. academic training C. practical ability D. pioneering spirit 文案大全实用文档 22. There exists the prejudice that vocational education is for kids who_. A. are financially disadvantaged B. are not academically successful C. have a stereotyped mind D. have no career motivation 23.

21、 We can infer from Paragraph 5 that high school graduates_. A. are entitled to more “educational privileges B. are reluctant to work in manufacturing C .used to have more job opportunities D. used to have big financial concerns 24. The headlong push into bachelors degrees for all_. A. helps create a

22、 lot of middle-skill jobs B. may narrow the gap in working-class jobs C. is expected to yield a better-trained workforce D. indicates the overvaluing of higher education 25. The authors attitude toward Koziateks school can be described as_. A. supportive B. disappointed C. tolerant D. cautious Text2

23、 While fossil fuels- coal, oil, gas- still generate roughly 85 percent of the worlds energy supply, its clearer than ever that the future belongs to renewable sources such as wind and solar. The move to renewables is picking up momentum around the world: They now account for more than half of new po

24、wer sources going on line. Some growth stems from a commitment by governments and farsighted Business to fund cleaner energy sources. But increasingly the stories about the plummeting prices of renewables, especially wind and solar. The cost of solar panels has dropped by 80 percent and the cost of

25、wind turbines by close to one-third in the past eight years. In many parts of the world renewable energy is already a principal energy source. In Scotland, for example, wind turbines provide enough electricity to power 95 percent of homes. While the rest of the world takes the lead, notably China an

26、d Europe, the United States is also seeing a remarkable shift. In March, for the first time, wind and solar power accounted for more than 10 percent of the power generated in the US ,reported the US Energy Information Administration. President Trump has underlined fossil fuels - especially coal - as

27、 the path to economic growth. In a recent speech in Iowa, he dismissed wind power as an unreliable energy source, But that message did not play well with many in Iowa, where wind turbines dot the fields and provide 36 percent of the states electricity generation - and where tech giants like Microsof

28、t are being 文案大全实用文档 attracted by the availability of clean energy to power their data centers. The question “what happens when the wind doesnt blow or the sun doesntshine? has provided a quick put-down for skeptics. But a boost in the storage-capacity of batteries is making their ability to keep po

29、wer flowing around the clock more likely. The advance is driven in part by vehicle manufacturers, who are placing big bets on battery-powered electric vehicles. Although electric cars are still a rarity on roads now, this massive investment could change the picture rapidly in coming years. While the

30、res a long way to go, the trend lines for renewables are spiking. The pace of change in energy sources appears to be speeding up perhaps: just in time to have a meaningful effect in slowing climate change. What Washington does-or doesnt do- to promote alternative energy may mean less and less a time
