核心考点
试题【I once worked in a charter school(特许公立学校).There students with serious problems w】;主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
Urban citizens(市民)can enjoy a more colorful life than rural citizens.Townspeople are well­informed because they have the easier access to news,while country people are uniformed because these districts are hard to get to.Urban traffic is so well­developed that the residents there often visit exhibitions and parks which are only a short bus ride away. For country people this is a major operation which involves considerable planning.Shopping,a necessary activity in everyday life is more convenient in the city than in the countryside. Townspeople can buy what they want at any time of a day.But rural residents go to town at most once a week.So after shopping they always stagger home loaded with heavy purchases. As for as meals and clothes concerned,townspeople are well­fed and well­dressed as there is an adequate(足够的)supply of goods.But rural residents are too busy to pay particular attention to them.It is for these reasons that more and more people are moving into the city and looking for a rest there.
On the contrary,some people are attracted by the rural area.Air pollution,noise and overcrowding which are the biggest problems confronting townspeople seem strange for rural residents.Medical studies have proved that rural residents can live longer than urban residents, because they are free from a polluted environment. In addition,the crime rate in the city is several times higher than in the countryside.As is known to all,the life in any city is much more expensive than in the countryside.So the safe, quiet and cheap life in the country appeals to(对……有吸引力)many city residents.
Either an urban or a rural area gives pleasure and trouble.But,I believe,the suburban area has the excellencies(优点)of both and is superior to both.As the automobile industry develops,more and more people will make their homes in suburban areas.

A.they live far away from town
B.they live a poorer life
C.they are busy with their work
D.they don"t like to dress up
小题4: For rural residents,the problems the urban citizens facing are________.
A.commonB.unfamiliar

Getting a good education is more important today than ever before. It is the best thing you can do to build a better future for your children and yourself.
Most children in Canada attend public schools. Public schools are completely founded by governments through tax (税收) income. Boys and girls attend the same school and share the same courses and classes. Schooling in Canada is provided in English and in French.
The rest of Canadian children attend private schools,which are supported mainly by fees (费) paid directly by parents. Some private schools enroll (招收) only boys or girls.
By law,children must attend school from age 5 to 16.Children are usually in school between 8:30 or 9:00 a.m.,and 3:00 or 4:00 p.m.Monday through Friday,from September to the middle of June. There are several different levels in the Canadian education system. The first is called Elementary Schools. In most provinces Elementary Schools include Kindergarten through Grade 7 or 8.
From Grade 8 or 9 through 12 or 13,children go to Secondary School or High School. High School students must take certain courses for several years,such as English or French and mathematics. Some courses help students get a job after they graduate from school. Other courses prepare students for college or university. In Canada,teenagers usually make these choices for themselves,with the advice of their teachers,guidance counselor (指导教师) and parents.
Schools usually offer extra activities at the end of the normal school day. These include sports,games,music and clubs.
Most elementary and high schools encourage parents to take part in school activities. Parents" nights are organized from time to time.
