17、erson and James Madison met in 1776.Could it have been any other year? They worked together and started to further American Revolution and later to shape the official new plan of the government, 21 (develop) a close friendship, which lasted for 50 years. There were 22 (share) purposes and a common e
18、nd on both sides. Four and a half months 23 he died, when he was ill and worried about his family, Jefferson wrote to his longtime friend. His words and Madisons reply remind us that friends are friends till death. “The friendship which 24 (exist) between us for half a century, the harmony of our po
19、litical principles and pursuits have been sources of constant happiness to me through that long period. Its also been a great comfort to me 25 (believe) that you are engaged in vindicating(证实) to the younger generation the course that weve pursued for preserving to them. If ever the earth has notice
20、d a system of administration conducted with 26 single and keen eye to the general interest and happiness of those committed to, it must be the system protected by truth, to 27 our lives have been devoted. To myself, you have been a great supporter throughout life. Take care of me when dead and be as
21、sured that I should leave with you mylast affections.” A week later, Madison replied.“You cannot look back 28 the long period of our private friendship and political harmony with more affecting recollections than I do. 29 they are a source of pleasure to you,they are the same to me. We cannot be dep
22、rived(失去)of the happy consciousness of the pure devotion to the public goodand I have confidence 30 sufficient evidence will find its way to another generation to ensure, after we are gone, whatever of justice may be withheld while we are here.” Section BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper
23、word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A. analysisB. usuallyC. assures D. poursE. developmentF. necessary G. cloudyH. absentI. cultivateJ. allowK. extremelyHe Is KindlyThe other evening at a dancing club a young man introduced me to
24、 Mr. and Mrs. F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Scott seemed not to havechanged from the first time I met him at Princeton, when he was an eager undergraduate trying his best to 31 himself into a great author. He is still trying hard to be a great author. He is at work now on a novel which his wife 32 me is
25、far better than This Side of Paradise, but like most of our younger novelists, he finds it 33 to produce a certain number of short stories to make the wheels go around. That The Vegetable, his play, did not receive a Manhattan presentation seems to have disappointed rather than discouraged him. He i
26、s still 34 light-hearted.I have always considered him the most brilliant of our younger novelists. No one else can touch his style, nor the superb quality of his satire(讽刺). He has yet to put them in a novel with carefulness of conception and 35 of character. He can become almost any kind of writer
27、that his peculiarly restless character will 36 .Born in St. Paul, he attended Princeton, served in the Army, wrote his first novel in a training camp, achieved fame and fortune, married a Southern girl, has a child and lives in New York. At heart, he is one of the kindliest of the younger writers. A
28、rtistry means a great deal to F. Scott Fizgerald, and into his own best work he 37 great efforts. He demands this in the work of others, and when he does not find it, he criticizes with passionate earnestness. I have known him, after reading a young fellow-novelists book, to take what must have been
29、 hours of time to write him a lengthy, careful 38 .Just what he will write in the future remains 39 . With a firmer reputation than that of the other young people, he yet seems to me to have achieved rather less than Robert Nathan and rather more than Stephen Vincent Benet, Cyril Hume. His coming no
30、vel should mean a definite prediction for future work. It is to be hoped that from it will be 40 the seemingly unavoidable modern girls. III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank wit
31、h the word or phrase that best fits the context. Standards for Schools: Developing Organizational Accountability(绩效)Quality teaching depends on not just teachers knowledge and skills but on the environment in which they work. Schools need to offer a coherent curriculum focused on higher-order thinki
32、ng and performance across subject areas and grades, time for teachers to work 41 with students to accomplish challenging goals, opportunities for teachers to plan with and learn from one another, and regular occasions to evaluate the outcomes of their 42 .If schools are to become more responsible, t
33、hey must, like other professional organizations, make evaluation and assessment part of their everyday lives. Just as hospitals have standing committees of staff that meet regularly to look at evaluation data and discuss the 43 of each aspect of their worka practice reinforced by their accreditation
34、(评定) requirements, schools must have such regular occasions to examine their practice and effectiveness. As Richard Rothstein and his colleagues describe in Grading Education: Getting Accountability Right, school-level accountability can be supported by school 44 , like those common in many other na
35、tions, in which trained experts evaluate schools by spending several days visiting classrooms, 45 samples of student work, and interviewing students about their understanding and their experiences, 46 looking at objective data such as test scores, graduation rates, and so on. In some cases, principa
36、ls accompany the inspectors into classrooms and are asked for their own evaluations of the lessons. In this way, the inspectors are able to make 47 about the instructional and supervisory competence(能力)of principals. As described earlier, inspectors may also play a role in ensuring the 48 and compar
37、ability of school-based assessments (as in England and Australia), as well as schools internal assessment and evaluation process (as in Hong Kong).In most countries inspection systems, schools are rated on the quality of instruction and other services and supports, as well as students 49 and progres
38、s in a wide range of aspects, including and going beyond academic subject areas, such as extra-curricular, personal and social 50 , the acquisition of workplace skills and the 51 to which students are encouraged to adopt safe practices and a 52 lifestyle. Schools are rated as to whether they pass in
39、spection, need modest improvements, or require serious intervention(介入), and they receive extensive feedbackon what the inspectors both saw and 53 . Reports are publicly posted. Schools requiring intervention are then given more expert 54 and support, and are placed on a more frequent schedule of vi
40、sits. Those that persistently fail to pass may be placed under local government control and could be 55 if they are not improved. 41.

(A)NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC NEWSHumanAnimal NewsAncient WorldSpace/TechCulture Warning from ExpertsA growing amount of human-made orbital debris(太空轨道残骸)from rocket stages and out-of-date satellites is circling the Earth. Scientists say the orbital debris, better known a
45、s space junk, poses an increasing threat to space activities. “This is a growing environmental problem,” said Nicholas Johnson, the chief scientist and program manager for orbital debris at NASA(美国航空航天局) in Houston, Texas.Johnson and his team have developed a computer model capable of simulating pas
46、t and future amounts of space junk. The model predicts that even without future rocket or satellite launches, the amount of debris in low orbit around Earth will remain steady through 2055, after which it will increase. While current efforts have focused on limiting future space junk, these scientis
47、ts say removing large pieces of old space junk will soon be necessary.Since the first launch of satellite in 1957, humans have been generating space junk. The U.S. Space Surveillance Network is currently tracking over 13,000 human-made objects larger than ten centimeters in diameter orbiting the Earth. “Of the 13,000 objects, over 40 percent came from breakups of both spacecraft and rocket bodies,” Johnson said. In addition, there are hundreds of thousands of smaller object
