Passage
one:
Question 1-5 are based on the following
passage
Last week I visited one of my ole
neighborhoods in Washington D.C..I
hade not
been there for twenty years and as I walked along
the street ,my
mind was flooded by mentions of
the past .I saw the old apartment building
where I had lived and the playground where I
had played.(S1) As I viewed
these once family
surroundings .image of myself as a child there
came to
mind .However ,what I saw and what I
remembered were not the same I sadly
realized
that the best moments are those left untouched.
My old apartment building ,as I remember ,was
bright and alive. It was more
than just a
place to live .It was a movie house ,a space
station, or whatever my
young mind could
imagine .I would steal away with my friends and
play in
the basement .This is always exciting
because it was so cool and dark, and
there
were so many things there to hide among. There was
a small river in the
back of the building .We
would go there to lie in the shade of trees and
enjoy
ourselves.
However, what I saw was
completely different The apartment building was
now in disrepair. What was once more than a
place to live looked hardly
worth living in.
The windows were all broken. the once clean wall
were
covered with dirty marks. The river was
hardly recognizable. The water was
polluted
and the trees and flowers were all dead. The once
sweet smelling
river now smelled terrible. It
was really heartbreaking to see all this.
I
do not regret having seen my old neighborhood.
However I do not think
my innocent childhood
memories can ever be the same. I suppose it is
once
they say: you can never go home again.

called the school year
ran out on them a few

cities, schools were
open seven or eight hours
a day, 11 months a year. In rural American, the
year
was arranged around the growing seasons.

follow the
agriculture model, but nearly all schools are
scheduled as if our

to milk cows and took months off to work the
crops. Now, three quarters of the mothers of
school age children work, but the
calendars is
written as if they were home waiting for the
school bus.

school year is regarded as somehow sacred.

when parents work an eight hour day and a 240-day
year, it means
something different. It means
that, many kids go home to empty houses. It

Passage four
Question 16 to 20 are based
on the following passage
The kids are
hanging out. I pass small bands of once and future
students on
my way to work these summer
mornings.
These kids are not old enough for
jobs, nor are they rich enough for camp.

are school children without school. The calendar
called the school year
ran out on them a few
weeks ago. Once looked after by teachers and
headmasters. They now appear to be in “self
care”

Americans framed the school year
around the
needs of work and family. In 19
th-centuty
cities, schools were
open seven or eight hours
a day, 11 months a year. In rural American, the
year
was arranged around the growing seasons.
Now, only 3 percent of families
follow the
agriculture model, but nearly all schools are
scheduled as if our
children. Went home early
to milk cows and took months off to work the
crops. Now, three quarters of the mothers of
school age children work, but the
calendars is
written as if they were home waiting for the
school bus.
The six hour day, the 180-day
school year is regarded as somehow sacred.
But
when parents work an eight hour day and a 240-day
year, it means
something different. It means
that, many kids go home to empty houses. It
