Many people like to think of our present system of schooling as providing plenty of steps up the ladder of success for clever children.It would be good to think that no one who is really bright can be missed out when the state system is apparently so thorough.It is obvious, for instance, that many children from less rich homes reach university or do well in other ways.
Unfortunately, we now have plenty of evidence that many children of every level of ability do much less well than they could.For instance, during the years of national military service it was possible to test the intelligence of all male 18-20 year olds.Half of those soldiers who were placed in the two highest ability groups had left schools at 15.
It has also been shown that the percentage of working class children going to university is almost the same now as it was in 1939.One study of 5000 children from birth to 21 years old indicated that up to half the bright pupils from working class homes left school when they reached 16 years old.Moreover, there is no difference in intelligence between the sexes, but far more boys than girls stay in education after 16.
It is clear from this and much other evidence that many children are still leaving school too early to benefit from the prizes------money, social respectability, and interesting jobs, which higher education gives.It is clear too that the reasons why such children leave have much to do with their social circumstances.Their parents often need the extra money another wage-owner can bring in; they do not value education for itself because their own was probably dull and unhappy.It is not so much that they force their sons and daughters to leave school, rather that they tend to say, “It's up to you”.
1.It is hoped that ROSLA will give all children （）.
A.a more enjoyable time at school
B.the same chances in society

D.higher scored in intelligence tests
2.People would like to think that （）.

3.Working class children are felt to be at a disadvantage because （）.
A.many of the clever ones leave school early
B.fewer go to university than ever before
C.more than half leave school when they are 16
D.fewer boys than girls stay at school after 16
4.Many children leave school early because （）.
A.their social circumstances make them unhappy
B.they have to work to support their family's income
C.their school is a dull and unhappy place

第5题
I have learned something about myself since I moved from Long Island to Florida three years ago. Even though I own a home in Port St. Lucie just minutes from the ocean, an uncontrollable urge wells up to return to Long Island even as others make their way south. I guess I am a snowbird stuck in reverse. Instead of enjoying Florida’s mild winters, I willingly endure the severe weather on Long Island, the place I called home for 65 years.
I’m like a migratory bird that has lost its sense of timing and direction, my wings flapping against season.
So what makes me fly against the tide of snowbirds？ The answer has a lot to do with my reluctance to give up the things that define who I am. Once I hear that the temperature on Long Island has dipped into the range of 40 to 50 degrees, I begin to long for the sight and crackling sound of a wood fire. I also long for the bright display o￡ colors — first in the fall trees, and then in the limits around homes and at Rockefeller Center. Floridians decorate too, but can’t create the special feel of a New England winter.
I suppose the biggest reason why I return is to celebrate the holidays with people I haven’t seen in months. What could be better than sitting with family and friends for a Thanksgiving turkey dinner, or watching neighbors’ children excitedly open gifts on Christmas？ Even the first snowfall seems special. I especially enjoy seeing a bright red bird settling on a snow-covered branch (My wife and I spend winters at a retirement community in Ridge, and I’m grateful that I don’t have to shovel.)
While these simple pleasures are not unique to Long Island, they are some of the reasons why I come back. Who says you can’t go home？
(1) What does the underlined word "snowbird" in Paragraph 1 refer to？()
A、A person spending winter in a warmer climate
B、A bird seen chiefly in winter
C、A person permanently living in a foreign country
D、A bird flying to the south in winter
(2)What’s the difference between Florida and Long Island？()
A、Winters in Long Island are milder
B、The snowbirds in Long Island are rarer
C、Weather in Long Island is severer
D、Long Island is nearer to the ocean
(3)What did the author miss most when he was in Florida？()
A、The colorful light display
B、The family gathering
C、The cold temperature
D、The winter landscape
(4) Which of the following is TRUE according to the text？()
A、The author enjoyed living in Florida
B、The author had a good time in Florida
C、The author owned a home in Florida
D、The author did not like mild weather
(5)What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text？()
A、To praise the beauty and warmth of his hometown
B、To describe his dream to be a free bird
C、To explain the reasons for moving from his hometown
D、To express his feeling of missing his hometown

City government around the world are already banning cars from city center for special events. Philadelphia asked residents to stop driving their cars for four days when Pope Francis visited in late September. Philadelphia residents felt more relaxed, and children were free to play in the streets.
But there are more reasons to limit cars in cities. Cars are polluting the air throughout the world. Drivers waste time looking for parking places. Residents also feel safer without cars. A 2013 study by doctors in New York City said people were more likely to be hit by a car while in a crosswalk.
Car free cities may not be a fantasy if Oslo' S experience provides a strong example. The world will be watching and seeing how it goes.
Oslo will give New York and London a road map if they want to go car free. In Norway, the plan includes at least 60 kilometer of new bike roads.

第7题
Section B – TWO questions ONLY to be attempted
The independent board of governors (an independent oversight body comprised of local residents, parents and other concerned citizens) of the state-funded Chambon school for 11–16 year old children met to consider its most recent set of public examination results. A key responsibility placed upon the school’s governors is the delivery, to its local government authority, of a report on exam performance in a full and timely manner. A report on both the exam results and the reasons for any improvement or deterioration over previous years are required from the governors each year. Accordingly, this annual meeting on exam performance was always considered to be very important. Although the school taught the national curriculum (a standard syllabus taught in all schools in the country) as required of it, the exam results at Chambon had deteriorated in recent years and on this particular occasion, they were very poor indeed. In order to address the weaknesses in the school, Chambon’s budget had increased in recent years and a number of new teachers had been employed to help improve results. Despite this, exam performance continued to fall. A recent overspend against budget was funded through the closure of part of the school library and the sale of a sports field.
One member of the board of governors was Sally Murol. She believed that the local government authority might attempt to close Chambon school if these exam results were reported with no convincing explanation. One solution to avoid this threat, she said, was to either send the report in late or to select only the best results and submit a partial report so the school’s performance looked better than it actually was. There is no central computerised exam results service in the country in which Chambon is located by which the local authority could establish the exam performance at Chambon school.
A general feeling of the governors’ meeting was that perhaps the school needed some new leadership and it was time to remove the existing headteacher. Mr Besse had been in the role for many years and his management style. was thought to be ineffective. He was widely liked by staff in the school because he believed that each teacher knew best how to manage their teaching, and so he tried not to intervene wherever possible. Mr Besse had sometimes disagreed with the governors when they suggested changes which could be made to improve exam performance, preferring to rely on what he believed were tried and tested ways of managing his teaching staff. He was thought to be very loyal to longstanding colleagues and had a dislike of confrontation.
Required:
(a) Explain, using evidence from the case, the characteristics which identify Chambon school as a public sector organisation and assess how its objectives as a public sector organisation have not been met. (10 marks)
(b) Explain the roles of a board of governors in the governance of Chambon school and discuss, in the context of Sally Murol’s suggestion, the importance of transparency in the board of governors dealings with the local government authority. (9 marks)
(c) Discuss the potential advantages to Chambon school of replacing the headteacher in seeking to address its problems. (6 marks)
