34.The underlined words “be rolled out” in the last paragraph probably mean “________”.

A.think about it carefully

B.drop it and make it turn

C.make it get out of the country

D.make it available all over the country

解析：猜测词义题。根据上文所说AfL能够带来important benefits，并且要引入2009年的National Strategy，后一句话说“We believe it helps improve good practice and track pupils' progress”，由此推知D项的解释符合画线词在语境中的意思。

答案：D

35.What is the main idea of this passage?

A.Education is much more expensive now.

B.Teaching is poor with best teaching equipment.

C.It is the teaching method that matters.

D.Modern equipment should be removed out of class.

解析：主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了虽然教室里安装了大量先进的教学设备，但是如果老师的教学方法不改变，不给予学生以持续、迅速的反馈，那么教学的效果仍然不会令人满意，所以重要的是老师的教学方法，而不是教学设备，故选C。

答案：C

C

Before James Blunt became a musician, he served in the army. He spent four and a half years there, with six months in Kosovo as part of the peacekeeping force. Before leaving the army，Blunt had decided to achieve his dream of becoming a musician. In 2003, he was discovered by music producer Linda Perry who signed him to her Custard label. However, the road to success never runs smoothly. It seemed that he would become another struggling singer trying to live from hand to mouth(勉强维持生计)when his first two singles failed to make an impact on the British charts. But everything changed when his third single You're Beautiful made it all the way to No. 1 on the UK singles charts, and remained there for five weeks. The album (专辑)Back to Bedlam soon followed and quickly became one of the biggest selling records of the year, remaining ten continual weeks at No. 1. Since then，he has sold more than three million records, making him the first British artist to top the American singles charts in nearly a decade.

Blunt,34，a throwback(返祖者)to the 1970s soft­rock golden age，has been quoted by Western media as saying that he will never get used to people screaming at him in the street.

His success proves a lasting theory: You spend years chasing the right song. Then，if you're lucky，and if the song really takes off, you spend the rest of your life trying to escape it，or learning to live with it. A few years removed from You're Beautiful, he can still fill stages worldwide with fans who stay until the end.

语篇解读：军人出身的英国歌手詹姆斯•布朗特以一首《美丽的你》一举成名，让我们一起来分享他的成功故事吧!

36.What do we know from the passage?

A.Blunt was discovered by Linda Perry before joining the army.

B.Blunt has already become famous before joining the army.

C.Blunt spent five years in the army altogether.

D.Blunt had the dream of becoming a musician before leaving the army.

解析：细节理解题。由第一段的第三句“Before leaving the army，Blunt had decided to achieve his dream of becoming a musician”可知，早在退伍前，Blunt就想成为一名音乐家。

答案：D

37.Which of the following can describe James Blunt's life as a musician before he sang the song You're Beautiful?

A.Difficult.　　　  B.Happy.

C.Boring.         D.Smooth.

解析：推理判断题。由第一段的第五、六句话可知，他在未唱红You're beautiful这首歌之前，和其他的struggling singer一样勉强维持生计，故他的生活应该是艰难的。

答案：A

38.What is the reason for Western media to conclude that “he will never get used to people screaming at him in the street” in the second paragraph?

A.Blunt will never adjust himself to the noisy environment around.

B.The popularity of Blunt has been gaining him an increasing number of fans out of his expectation.

C.What Blunt sings disturbs people so much that they yell to him their anger.

D.People in the street are rude civilians who are against any form of entertaining，including Blunt's songs.

解析：细节推断题。由文章第二段可知，James Blunt是连续将近十年稳居美国单曲排行榜榜首的第一位英国艺人。他的成功为他带来数量日益增多的歌迷。西方媒体对他的评价形象地表现了歌迷见到他欣喜若狂，前呼后拥，而他躲闪不及，无法适应的场面。因此B选项符合。

答案：B

39.We can infer from the last paragraph that________.

A.Blunt is well­known in the world for his talent

B.Blunt's fame as a musician came easily

C.Blunt wasn't lucky enough to win his fans'support

D.Blunt has to face the inconvenience his fame has caused

解析：推理判断题。James Blunt通过不懈的努力，终于因You're Beautiful这首歌曲一夜成名，但他从此不得不承受成名后的压力和烦恼。文章倒数第二段中“...he will never get used to people screaming at him in the street”也暗示了这一点，故答案选D。

答案：D

40.What is the passage mainly about?

A.The song You're Beautiful.

B.The latest album of James Blunt.

C.The success of James Blunt as a musician.

D.The whole life of James Blunt.

解析：主旨大意题。根据文章的内容可知，这篇文章主要讲的是歌手James Blunt以You're Beautiful这首歌而一夜成名，随后又以Back to Bedlam歌曲专辑而风靡全世界，故选C项。

答案：C

D

Neither television nor radio nor magazines nor books nor any other medium can begin to match newspapers for depth and breadth of coverage(新闻报道). In fact, all these media themselves depend on newspapers to bring them information that they then process and distribute as their own brand of news.

Now many newspapers are locked in a struggle for survival. If they lose—which is by no means impossible—we all lose.

The great task for editors and publishers is to respond to the competitive challenge caused by online news, and at the same time use their own online news to increase their profits(利润). As yet，they haven't figured out a smooth and sure way to do that.

So they cut some more to get profit. The cuts in size that they are making are in some cases risky and in others without considering the results. With every cut, publishers tirelessly argue that readers won't even know the difference. The trouble is that by the time customers do notice that they are getting less for their money，it will be too late—too late to notice the reduction in the number of readers.

The other big cuts, of course, are in staff(员工). The victims would be the oldest and most experienced workers because they are the highest paid. While there is plenty of tired deadwood among them，there is also a lot of talent.

When experienced staff leave in large numbers—as they often do now—the newspaper loses great professional memory. But the real loser is the readers, who are suddenly robbed of the insights(见识) that only the experienced reporters can bring.

As for the future, there is at least one big, bright sign：intelligent young people will continue to flood into journalism in urgent search of jobs, despite its high demands and modest(不太高的) pay.

语篇解读：本文介绍了作为媒体之一的报纸的现状。

41.The underlined word “deadwood” in Paragraph 5 may refers to “________”.

A.the staff who are going to retire

B.workers who are experienced

C.people who are no longer useful or needed

D.reporters who are tired of covering events

解析：猜测词义题。根据第五段第二句话可知那些富有经验的雇员因为工资高而最容易受到解雇，再结合后面的talent，可以推出deadwood指那些在报社里没有用途的人员，所以选C。

答案：C

42.According to the passage，which of the following can best describe the author's attitude towards the ways the editors and publishers have adopted to get profit?

A.The author has no objection.

B.The author opposes them.

C.The author regards them reasonable.

D.The author has not shown it explicitly.

解析：推理判断题。由第四段“The cuts in size that they are making are in some cases risky and in others without considering the results”和第六段“When experienced staff leave in large numbers...the newspaper loses great professional memory”可知，作者对这两种方式都是不赞成的。

答案：B

43.Who will be the real loser if newspapers lose according to the passage?

A.Publishers.　　B.Readers.

C.Editors.　　　 D.Writers.

解析：细节判断题。根据文章倒数第二段第二句话可知如果报纸在竞争中失败，真正的受害人是读者。

答案：B

44.The author seems to agree with the view that________.

A.journalism is a job offering highest pay for high demands

B.experienced workers are the last to be laid off

C.the challenge of newspapers is that there are not enough intelligent young people

D.it is possible that newspapers may not survive in the end

解析：推理猜测题。从第二段的“If they lose—which is by no means impossible—we all lose”可知报纸也许会在与其他媒体的竞争中失败，故选D。

答案：D

45.It is stressed by the passage that the most important quality for a journalist is________.

A.patience   B.selfishness

C.insights   D.sensitivity

解析：由第六段的“...the insights that only the...”可知，失去了具有独特远见的记者，读者的兴趣和数量都会下降。所以对记者而言，具有远见卓识至关重要。

答案：C
