Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Children’s Schoolbags Are Getting Heavier. You should write at lease 120 words following the outline given below in Chinese.

1． 现在学生的书包越来越重 2． 学生学业负担减轻不了的原因 3． 你的建议 Sample Writing Children’s Schoolbags Are Getting Heavier

Recently we often hear that children groan under the pressure of an ever-increasing burden of their studies. The schoolbags on their back are becoming heavier and heavier, and the hours on their assignments longer and longer.

Why can’t their burden be relieved despite social protests? For one thing, parents expect their

children to gain early intellectual achievement. If they don’t force their children to read more, they believe that their children may miss the chance of being admitted to key schools. For another, teachers focus on students’ scores for it is a measurement of a teacher’s performance. Therefore, it is natural for teachers to assign more homework for his own sake as well as for his students’.

Although it is not easy to ease children’s academic burden, it is worth trying, for after all parents and teachers don’t want the heavy schoolbags to crush children.

Direction: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over a passage quickly and then read ten statements following it. For statements1-10, write

T (for True) if the statement agrees with the information given in the passage; F (for False) if the statement contradicts the information given in the passage; N (for Not Given) if the statement is not given in the passage.

In my family, success is weighed by a single standard: the ability to be first. It does not matter what you are first at as long as you are first at something.

My relatives came from Europe at the height of the Machine Age. Every day, something else in America was new and first. The first flush toilet (抽水马桶)，the first radio, the first hat with a fan. My family got first fever. Foods and other good ideas all counted. Styles, inventions, phrases, too. The sole standard for being first at something was simply not having heard that somebody else had done it. Then you earned the right to say the wonderful words: “I did it first!”

My great-grandfather on my mother’s mother’s side invented the toodle. The toodle is a little square of paper with a bit of mustard (芥末) rolled up into it. You could take a toodle to work in the morning with a piece of cold meat and squeeze some fresh mustard on it at lunch.

This great-grandfather, the toodle-inventor, had three daughters: Ruthie, the first girl who ever made a curtain into a jacket; Gertie, the first girl who ever made a jacket into a curtain; and Polly, my grandmother, who perfected a brush to clean the inside of a water tap. “Just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean it isn’t dirty,” she was fond of saying.

Polly was proud of the fact that every inch of her apartment was touched by human hand at least twice a year. She even dusted the top of doors, using a top-of –the-door duster made of old stockings, stuffed with more old stockings. Old stockings have always been perceived as a challenge by my family. My mother uses hers as an onion bag, an idea she says she invented. She also takes credit for being the first person to use both legs of a pair of stockings at the same time, one leg for onions, one leg for potatoes or garlic. But I am getting ahead of myself.

Perhaps my most famous relative of all, the one who really left his mark on America, was Reb Sussel, my great-grandfather on my father’s father’s side. According to my family stories, he introduced the pastrami (五香烟熏牛肉) sandwich to the world. In 1879, Reb Sussel left his

native country to find fame and fortune on the streets of New York. He had worked at a mill in the old country, but, finding the wheat business too much of a grind, began selling pots and pans off his back.. He had no home and would sleep in the basements or stables of the people he sold pots to. While praying one morning he was kicked by a horse.

Reb Sussel knew how to butcher meat, so he decided to change his job and opened a small butcher shop. The first week, a friend stopped by and asked if he could store a trunk in the back of the shop. “I’m just going back to the old country for a few years,” he said. “If you store my trunk, I’ll tell you how to make pastrami.” As the story goes, Great-Grandpa took the trunk, learned how to make pastrami, and began selling big pieces of pastrami over the counter. Soon he was selling it by the slice. Then, between two pieces of bread. He met up with my great-grandfather on my mother’s side, who introduced him to the toodle, and before long, people were coming to his shop for sandwiches more than they were coming for meat.

My father’s father, Jacob Volk, took credit for the wrecking ball. Jake took his wrecking ball all over lower Manhattan Island in New York. Painted on the sides of all his trucks were the words “The Most Destructive Force on Wall Street”. He married Granny Ethel, who was so beautiful she did not have to be first at anything. She was, though—the first calendar girl in Princeton, N.J. In the early 1900’s her picture was used by a bank there for its first calendar. That’s where Grandpa met her, in the bank. She was so beautiful, she once received a letter addressed: Postman, Postman Do your duty Deliver this letter

To the Princeton beauty.

It was dropped off right at her front door.

My grandmother on my mother’s side invented the shoe pocket. It was her belief that if you always kept a nickel in your shoe, nothing bad would happen to you. You could always make a phone call. You could always buy something. You would never be broke. But the nickel could slide around. And if it could slide around, it could slide out. So she constructed a small pocket that fastened to the inner sole. That way, any pair of shoes could have its own secret sum of money. Me, I have yet to make my mark. I am still waiting to find a first. Sometimes I think my life is too comfortable. Why should I mother an invention if all my needs are met? But then something gets my attention, and I begin to think of new uses for items such as old light bulls or eggshells. When you come from a family of firsts, whether you like it or not, you’re thinking all the time. Statements:

1. In my family, being first at something is greatly valued.

2. According to the passage, being first at something means inventing new tools only. 3. Polly, one of the toodle inventor’s daughters, was enthusiastic. 4. Stockings have been made full use of by my family.

5. In 1879, Reb Sussel left his native country to find fame and fortune on the streets of Boston. 6. Those who went to Reb Sussel’s shop became more and more fond of pastrami sandwiches. 7. My grandpa and my granny were very famous in New York.

8. The shoe pocket invented by my grandmother can be used to keep nickels from sliding. 9. In such a family, I always thought of becoming a great inventor.

10. From this passage, we can conclude that the author dislikes the tradition of her family. ②

Directions: There are two passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and choose the corresponding letter.

Lives like Chaplin’s are now being systematically studied by social scientists. They are finding that all children subjected to homelessness and sever stress don’t turn out the same way. While many become severely disturbed adults, others, like Chaplin, surprisingly turn out to be smart and resourceful.

As adults they may go on to lead paradoxically high-achieving and remarkable lives as valued members of society. Chaplin was such a person.

Chaplin’s first feature-length comedy and masterpiece, The Kid ( 1921 ), was a remarkable film in which the Little Tramp found, adopted and raised a lost child. While The Kid derived its immediate inspiration from 30-year-old Chaplin’s personal bereavement (his first-born son had died a few days after birth, only two and a half weeks before Chaplin began shooting the film), its twin themes of emotional loss and homelessness resonated with contemporary social concerns. On everyone’s minds were the displaced refugee children of World War I, as well as for those persons grieving for loved ones killed in that war.

And among intellectuals, Charlie’s cinematic lost child spoke to a lost generation. No movie maker and no other movie ( with the exception Griffith’s Birth of a Nation ) had done as much in one single stroke to earn instant recognition for the cinema as a legitimate art form.
