1.材料题“If there is one thing I’m sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers．It is not that newspapers are a necessity．Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio．Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday．But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation． The nature of what is news may change．What basically makes news is what affects our lives — the big political stories, the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same．I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though．It’s already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic(基因) engineering．In the future, I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do — as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are． It’s quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted(传送) electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home．In fact, I’m pretty sure that how it will happen in the future．You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read — sports and international news, et C． I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media(媒体)．They actually feed off each other．Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers, but that hasn’t happene D．What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air．And as for the Internet, it’s never really pleasant to read something just on a screen．40 From the passage, we can infer _______．

3.Mr.Leonard，the principal of the Bedford Academy High School in Bedford-Stuyvesant，Brooklyn，is a man of many solutions，many of them creative，many of them，apparently, also effective.In New York City, only about 50 percent of students manage to graduate in four years.At Bedford Academy 63 percent of the students qualify for free lunch，a majority of which are being raised by a single mother and another significant number are being raised by someone other than a parent.Yet close to 95 percent of students graduate，and actually every one of those goes on to college.Mr.Leonard does not achieve those results by admitting only high-testing students into hisschool.Of the students arriving with lower test scores，Mr.Leonard says that he is not looking for the students with the highest grades，or even the best behavior.He’ S looking for the ones who understand his basic mission of discipline and respect，and are willing to devote themselves to his regular training course.The Bedford Academy High School is famous for its autonomy.For Mr.Leonard，autonomy means insisting that all entering students spend their Saturday mornings in preparatory classes the summer before they enroll.Autonomy also means an automatic weeklong suspension for any student who “disrespects a female，”said Mr.Leonar D.It means requiring struggling students，in the weeks before the Regents exams，to attend studying sessions on Saturday from 9 A.m.until 9 p.m.It means the most senior, experienced teachers，including Mr.Leonard，teach not the school’S academic jewels，but the most struggling students.And autonomy also means the school’ S teachers administer almost no omework.Instead they emphasize after-school tutoring where the teachers Can keep a better eye on whether the student is actually grasping the material.The school insists that students should____.

The merchant then took a slip of paper out of his pocket and wrote: "If the man who was seen to take an umbrella from the City Church last Sunday evening doesn't wish to get into trouble, he will return the umbrella to No, 10 Broad Street．He is well known." This appeared in the paper, and on the following morning, the man was astonished when he opened the front door．In the doorway lay at least twelve umbrellas of all sizes and colors that had been thrown in, and his own was among the number．Many of them had notes, fastened to them saying that they had been taken by mistake, and begging the loser not to say anything about the matter.28 This is a story about __.

Passage FourSometimes I scratch my head when I read about the government' s efforts to improve schools:new standards and tests to be applied, strict teacher evaluations, and threats of school closures and job losses. They frighten the school employees, not to mention the students. Instead of making people unable to solve problems or try new ideas--which is what fear does to us--research on school reform strongly suggests that policy-makers should encourage school leaders to take a more humane approach. In their study on the reform efforts of twelve Chicago public schools, Bryk and Schneider found that enabling positive social relationships between the adults was the key to successful school improvement and that trust was at the heart of those relationships.Trust in schools comes down to one thing:psychological safety or safety to speak one's mind,to discuss with openness and honesty what is and isn' t working,to make collective decisions.Yet this kind of safety doesn' t come easily to schools. According to Bryk and Schneider, the adults in school rely on each other to do their jobs correctly and with integrity （正直). The challeage is that our expectations are very diverse based on our unique backgrounds.At one school where I taught, each teacher had different expectations about how much effort teachers should put into their work--a big difference between the teachers who left af~the last bell and those who worked into the evening. And when expectations are uncoasci or unspoken, it becomes impossible for others to live up to them.We also make assumptions about the intentions behind a person' s behavior. As we all Imam,assumptions are often wrong. For example, parents and teachers my think the principal taml particular decision based on his career advancement rather than hat" s best for the studeata. don't feel psychologically safe to question our assumptions and e~aecmtiatm, trust itiea am the window and our relationships suffer.48. According to Paragraph 1,why does the author scratch his head?
