Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)

Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by

some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four

choices marked A, B, CandD. You should decide on the best choice and blacken

the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.

Passage 1

Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:

The first year of school in America, known as kindergarten, usually begins

between the ages of five and six. Among rich countries such a late start is

very strange. President Obama believes it is an economic and social problem;

his education secretary goes as far as to say that it is "morally wrong”. This

statement has some support, as it is clear from research into vocabulary that

youngsters from poor families enter kindergarten well behind those from rich

families—a disadvantage that usually lasts a lifetime. Children from

households on welfare knew 525 words by the age of three, while the children of

professionals had mastered1,116.

(76) Pre-school can help close this gap. So in a speech last month, Mr. Obama

called for a partnership between the federal government and the states to

expand it to every American child. It later became known that "every" meant

those who come from families with incomes of up to 200% above the poverty line

—equal to an income of $47,000 for a family of four.

(77) Some critics say that sending children to school at the age of four does

not work. The evidence suggests otherwise. For example, on March 20thnew

results were announced from a study of 9tol1yearolds in New Jersey. This report

found that disadvantaged children who had attended pre-school had better

literacy (读写能力), language, maths and science skills. And two years of pre-

kindergarten were better than one.

Some studies also follow the effects of early learning over lifetimes, such as

its effect on crime rates and other factors that may eventually burden society.

Critics have singled out a government scheme called Head Start, created in

1965, which provides poor households with a range of services including school-

based early education.

1．Kindergarten in rich countries other than America usually begins at the age

of _______

A. eight B. seven C. six D. four

2．According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?

A. Poor pre-school kids have a larger vocabulary than rich kids.

B. President Obama believes that early education can solve all economic and

social problems.

C. Rich pre-school kids have a richer vocabulary than poor kids.
