"题目: Diana Smith thought her family had a workable plan to pay for college for her 21-year-old twin sons: a combination of savings, income, scholarships, and a modest amount of borrowing. Then her husband lost his job, and the plan fell apart.
"I have two kids in college, and I want to say "come home," but at the same time I want to provide them with a good education," says Diana.
The Smith family did work out a solution: They asked and received more aid from the school, and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the federal loan (贷款) program. They will each graduate with a $20,000 debt, but at least they will be able to finish school.
With unemployment rising, financial aid administrators expect to see more families like the Smiths. More students are applying for aid, and more families expect to need student loans. College administrators are concerned that they will not have enough aid money to go around.
At the same time, tuition (学费)continues to rise. A report from the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education found that college tuition and fees increased 439% from 1982 to 2007, while average family income rose just 147%. Student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade.
"If we go on this way for another 25 years, we won’t have an affordable system of higher education," says Patrick M. Callan, president of the center. "The middle class families have been financing it through debt. They will send kids to college whatever it takes, even if that means a huge amount of debt."
Financial aid administrators have been having a hard time as many companies decide that student loans are not profitable enough and have stopped making them. The good news, however, is that federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing, and the government says that money will flow uninterrupted.
选项:
16: According to Paragraph 1, why did the Smith family’s plan fail?
A.The twins wasted too much money.
B.The father was out of work.
C.Their sayings ran out.
D.The family fell apart.
17: How did the Smiths manage to solve their problem?
A.They asked their kids to come home.
B.They borrowed $20,000 from the school.
C.They encouraged their twin sons to do part-time jobs.
D.They got help from the school and the federal government.
18: Financial aid administrators believe that _____.
A.more families will face the same problem as the Smiths
B.the government will receive more letters of complaint
C.college tuition fees will double soon
D.America’s unemployment will fall
19: What can we learn about the middle class families from the text?
A.They blamed the government for the tuition increase.
B.Their income remained steady in the last decade.
C.They will try their best to send kids to college.
D.Their debts will be paid off within 25 years.
20: According to the last paragraph, the government will _____.
A.provide most students with scholarships
B.dismiss some financial aid administrators
C.stop the companies from making student loans
D.go on providing financial support for college students
答案:16:B
17:D
18:A
19:C
20:D
解析:16:细节推断题。题目问的是计划失败的原因,由第一段的最后一句话 Then her husband lost his job可以得出答案为 B。
17:细节事实题。该题考查细节理解。题目问的是史密斯一家是如何解决他们的问题的。由第三段中 The Smith family did work out a solution: They asked and received more aid from the school, and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the federal loan program.可知答案为 D。
18:细节事实题。由第四段的第一句话可知,随着失业的增加,资金援助管理人员认为:很多家庭都会遇到史密斯一家那样的情况。由此可知答案为 A。
19:细节事实题。由倒数第二段中的最后两句可知,中产阶级将不惜任何代价送他们的孩子上大学。由此可知答案为 C。
20:推理判断题。根据最后一段的最后一句话The good news, however, is that federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing, and the government says that money will flow uninterrupted.可知,政府将继续向大学生提供的资金援助不会中断,选项D中go on providing financial support正是最后文章最后一句话的转述。故答案为 D。"

"题目:It is often difficult for a man to be quite sure how much tax he ought to pay to the government because it depends on so many different things: whether the man is married; how many children he has; whether he supports any relations, how much interest he receives, how much he has spent on his house during the year, and so on. All this makes it difficult to decide exactly how much the tax is.
There was an artist who was always very careful to pay the proper amount.
One year, after posting his check as usual, he began to wonder if he had paid enough, and after a lot of work, with a pencil and paper, he found that he had not. He thought that he owed the government something.
He was just writing another check to send it to the tax collector when the postman dropped a letter into the box at the front door. Opening it, the artist was surprised to find inside it a check for five pounds from the tax collector. The official explained that too much had been paid, and that therefore the difference was now returned to the taxpayer.

"题目:The number of American students who study in other countries has been growing. The Institute of International Education, in its most recent report, counted more than 223,000, a record. A few years ago a commission(委员会)established by Congress called for a goal of one million a year by 2017.

解析:21:推理题。由题干simple changes定位于文章首段第四句"Up to half of home accidents could be prevented by making some very simple changes."(有一半的家内事故都能通过做一些非常简单的改变来避免发生。)可推出:事故减少一半,这样老年人会生活得更安全。A、B、C项文中均未提及。因此,答案为D。
22:细节推断题。由题干last steps 和high-risk accident area定位到文章第二段第三句"Applying bright tapes and using bright light in these areas would make these spots easier to see."(在这样的地方用亮色的带子和明亮的灯照明,会使这些地方更容易被看清。)可推出:如果不用亮带子和灯,最后几个台阶还是事故高发的地方。A项颜色问题文中未提;C项安装把手是在浴室采取的措施;D项强光照明,最后几个台阶就不是事故高发地带了。因此,答案为B。
23:细节题。由题干bathroom 和 unfortunate定位到文章第三段第三句"..because it's easy to make the area safe from accidents."(……因为使这样的地方不发生事故很容易。)A项they can easily be avoided,意为"在浴室的跌倒很容易避免",与原文意思一致,是它的改写。B、C、D项均与原文相反。因此,答案为A。
24:细节题。由题干personal alarm 定位到文章倒数第一句"..the alarm automatically sends a signal,which gets someone to call and see if the person needs help."(……警报器自动发出信号,这会叫来其他人,来看看这个人是否需要帮助。)C项send out signals for help与此句一致,为同义转述。因此,答案为C。
25:主旨题。由题干the purpose判定此题为主旨题。主旨题通常要通读全文了解全文的意思。本篇文章的目的,即为要告诉人们什么。第一段介绍了主要关注的问题"跌倒",接下来的三段为三条避免跌倒的建议。选项C意为"在家内的跌倒可以通过采取一些简单措施来避免"最为准确。A、B、D项在文中只是提及,均不是本文中心。因此,答案为C。"

"题目: Cars are lots of fun, but they could also be dangerous. We have to be careful when we drive them or ride in them.
It's always a good idea to put on your seat belt when you're in a car. Why? Think about this example: You put an egg on a skateboard(滑板) and give it a push. If the skateboard hits a stone, it will stop, but the egg won't. It will fly through the air, hit the ground and break.
Now, think what would happen if you tied the egg to the skateboard. When the skateboard hits a stone, the egg won't go flying. It will stay safely on the skateboard.
Volvo, a famous Swedish carmaker, was the first to use seat belts in 1949. Air bags are also very important for car safety, because sometimes a seat belt isn't enough. If the car is going really fast and runs into something, seat belts could even hurt the people who wear them.
Most newer cars have air bags in front of and next to the seats. When a car hits something, its air bags will come out quickly--in less than one second--to keep the people inside safe.
选项:
21: We have to be careful in driving a car mainly because it could be _____.
A.little fun
B.a pleasure
C.a lot of trouble
D.a great danger
22: The example of an egg on a skateboard is used to show that _____.
A.eggs break easily on a moving skateboard
B.cars should not be stopped suddenly
C.seat belts are important to safety
D.driving is a dangerous act

A.People with seat belts tied will always be safe in cars.
B.Volvo was the first carmaker to use seat belts in cars.

24: According to the passage, air bags are another device that _____.
A.adds safety to car driving
B.is going to replace seat belts
C.comes out slowly to function
D.prevents cars from running too fast
25: The best title for this passage is _____.
A.Buy a Volvo with Air bags
B.Make a Car Safe Inside
C.Fasten Your Seat Belts
D.Add Air Bags to Cars
答案:更多答案,请关注【江开搜题】微信公众号
解析:21:事实细节题。由题干be careful定位到文章第一段的第一句话" Cars are lots of fun,but they could also be dangerous."开车小心的原因是因为"汽车同样电可能带来危险。"此句叙述与选项D一致。A、B、C项与原文不符,因此,答案是D。
22:推理判断题。文章第二三段把人系安全带开车和鸡蛋系在运动的滑板上进行比较,通过系在滑板上的鸡蛋不容易摔碎这个例证.我们可以推导出正确答案C。A、B、D项没有正确的体会作者用意。
23:推理判断题。由文章第三段第一句话"Volvo,a famous Swedish carmaker,was the first to use seat belts in 1949."。选项B是该意思的同意转述。A项原文没有提及,C、D为错误信息。
24:事实细节题。由题干air bags定位到文章第四段的第二句话"Air bags are also very important for car safety""气囊对汽车安全也非常重要"此句叙述与选项A一致。B、C、D项不是气囊的真正用途.因此,答案是A。
25:主旨大义题。本文第一段指出驾车既有乐趣也能带来危险;第二三段通过系在滑板上的鸡蛋的例证说明安全带的重要性;接着第四五段阐述了气囊对汽车安全的重要性。本文的最终目的是阐述汽车安全问题。A、C、D项叙述过于片面,因此,答案应选B。"
