1、Text 2 Disruptive students are a headache for public schools.They distract from lessons,skip class,and often bring down the graduation rates.That's why school districts across the country have resorted to opening altemative schools in recent decades,with hopes that smaller classes and individual attention might help these students get their diplomas.But even these alternative schools(which differ from charter schools in that they are still part of school districts and thus answer to supervisors)can be a burden:They're expensive to run,and their graduation rates are still pretty low.Desperate for help,many school districts are now hiring private companies to manage these altemative schools and educate their most troublesome students.Large,urban districts like Chicago and Philadelphia have been working with this emerging industry for several years now.Though research shows that problematic students in Philadelphia did better in alternative schools than traditional ones,there is a wide variance in school quality,and detailed information about their curricula is scarce.The question on the table is whether a business whose job it is to make money can better educate vulnerable students than a public system with no profit motive.It's not too different from the dynamic between the federal government and the private companies running its prisons across the country.But the Justice Department announced last week that it would stop contracting with the private sector,in part because it doesn't seem to save that much money,and in part because the service didn't improve either.Richmond is one of the latest cities to experiment with outsourcing education.In July,the city hired a Texas-based company called Camelot Education to run the Richmond Altemative SchooL which last year served 223 students from across the city in grades 6 through 11.Nearly all of the students at Richmond Alternative are black(97 percent)and most are poor(87 percent qualify for free lunches).Somc black parents once dubbed it the"colored children's prison"and it has been criticized for contributing to what's called the school-to-prison pipeline-Virginia is the state that refers the most students to law enforcement.Data provided by Richmond's school district shows that its altemative school has been floundering for years,When the school year ended three months ago,the numbers were alarming:The dropout rate had jumped to 38 percent,compared t0 28 percent just two years earlier.And students'scores in nearly every subject had fallen by 50 percent or more during that time. Parents of disruptive kids hold the view that alternative school_____

　　A is tolerant to colored children

　　B should punish students for violating laws

　　C contributes to the crime of disruptive students

　　D limits the freedom ofblack children

　　答案：C  

　　答案解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)定位詞定位到第四段。該段提到父母認(rèn)為非傳統(tǒng)學(xué)校是所謂的“有色人種兒童監(jiān)獄”，可見他們認(rèn)為非傳統(tǒng)學(xué)校助長了問題學(xué)生的犯罪，故C項為正確選項�！靖蓴_排除】黑人父母認(rèn)為非傳統(tǒng)學(xué)校是“有色人種兒童監(jiān)獄”，可見非傳統(tǒng)學(xué)校對這些孩子不夠容忍，故A項錯誤;文中沒有提到父母認(rèn)為學(xué)校應(yīng)該處罰學(xué)生，B項錯誤;這些父母認(rèn)為非傳統(tǒng)學(xué)校是監(jiān)獄，這是一種比喻和夸張的說法，這些非傳統(tǒng)學(xué)校并不是真的監(jiān)獄，沒有限制孩子的自由，故D項錯誤。

According to Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3,private companies_____

　　A have detailed information about curricula

　　B can deal with problematic students better than public schools

　　C aim to make money for federal governments

　　D will stop doing business with the Justice Department

　　答案：D  

　　答案解析：根據(jù)定位詞定位到第三段第三句。該句提到“司法部上周宣布，它將停止與私營部門的合作”，故D項為正確選項�！靖蓴_排除】第二段最后一句提到“關(guān)于課程的詳細(xì)信息也很少”，所以A項排除;在費(fèi)城，問題學(xué)生在非傳統(tǒng)學(xué)校比在傳統(tǒng)學(xué)校表現(xiàn)得更好，但是這些學(xué)校質(zhì)量差異巨大，可知B項“在處理問題學(xué)生的事情上會比公立學(xué)校更好”說法太肯定，所以B項錯誤;第三段第一句提到“以營利為目的的企業(yè)……”，是花費(fèi)聯(lián)邦政府的錢，不是幫聯(lián)邦政府賺錢，所以C項錯誤。

The most appropriate title for the text would be_____

　　A Can a Private Company Teach Troubled Kids?

　　B Alternative Schools-Prison or Paradise for Troubled Kids?

　　C Federal Government Failed to Run Alternative Schools

　　D Altemative Schools in Philadelphia Do Better than Other Schools

　　答案：A  

　　答案解析：主旨大意題。文章主要討論的是私人公司來管理非傳統(tǒng)學(xué)校，教育問題學(xué)生的內(nèi)容，并對這種方式提出疑問，可推測A項“私人公司能教好問題學(xué)生嗎?”是最合適的答案。【干擾排除】文章的主要內(nèi)容是討論私人公司是否能管理好非傳統(tǒng)學(xué)校和問題學(xué)生，并不是討論非傳統(tǒng)學(xué)校本身，所以B項排除;C項“聯(lián)邦政府未能開辦非傳統(tǒng)學(xué)校”是政府運(yùn)營管理的問題，并非本文論述的主要內(nèi)容.可排除：D項“費(fèi)城的非傳統(tǒng)學(xué)校比其他學(xué)校做得更好”是文中提到的一個案例，不能概括全文的內(nèi)容，所以D項錯誤。

It can be inferred that alternative schools are founded to_____

　　A offer diplomas to disruptive kids

　　B lay heavy burdens on local schools

　　C provide smaller classes and individual attention

　　D prevent disruptive children from entering public schools

　　答案：A  

　　答案解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)定位詞定位到第一段第三句。該句提到，“希望小班和個人關(guān)注能夠幫助這些學(xué)生獲得文憑”，故A項“給問題學(xué)生提供文憑”為正確選項。【干擾排除】B項“給當(dāng)?shù)貙W(xué)校帶來沉重的負(fù)擔(dān)”是當(dāng)?shù)貙W(xué)校和政府的問題，不是非傳統(tǒng)學(xué)校的問題，可排除;c項“提供小班和對個人的關(guān)注”是校方希望通過這樣的方式來幫助問題學(xué)生，而不是非傳統(tǒng)學(xué)校建立的目的，故C項錯誤;問題學(xué)生讓公立學(xué)校很頭疼，但是并沒有直接提到他們被公立學(xué)校拋棄，他們就讀的非傳統(tǒng)學(xué)校只是醬通學(xué)校的一部分，故D項錯誤。

　　A the school is developing well for years

　　B more children have given up going to school

　　C children's academic performance has been improved

　　D the government will continue to cooperate with the private company

　　答案解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)定位詞定位到最后一段。該段描述的是里士滿的這所非傳統(tǒng)學(xué)校的近況，包括輟學(xué)率上升，成績大幅下降，可見這所學(xué)校已經(jīng)在掙扎的邊緣，故這所學(xué)校的現(xiàn)狀是B項“更多的孩子已經(jīng)放棄上學(xué)”。【干擾排除】根據(jù)最后一段可推測這所學(xué)校的境況并不好，所以A項可排除;文中提到學(xué)生成績大幅下降，所以C項錯誤;里士滿的學(xué)校情況糟糕，政府可能不會繼續(xù)和公司合作，所以D項錯誤。
