Two hundred years ago, it took several weeks for the news of the important Battle of T

rafalgar to reach London.Nowadays, you can watch a terrorist attack as it happens anywhere in the world.The communications revolution means that we are constantly bombarded with instant news.This has great advantages, but it also raises important questions.

Satellites have enabled immediate reporting worldwide.A reporter can send the news to a network like CBS News and within seconds it can be all over the world.They send electronic reports that go straight into the newspaper or onto the TV screen.Reporters can now also transmit images through their mobile phones.Consequently, live, “on-the-spot” reporting has become the norm and TV viewers can get a much better idea of what a natural disaster, a conflict or an interesting scientific discovery is like.

In recent years, several changes have occurred in the ownership of news media.Networks owned by large companies and governments have become bigger and very powerful.These networks – such as BBC News 24–are hungry for news and have huge audiences.However, there can only be a limited number of such networks and their ownership is a big issue.

Some companies not only own TV and radio networks but newspaper groups as well.Who decides what news to publish and what sort of “spin” to put on it? Is it always objective? There are now “spin doctors” who manipulate the news,emphasising certain parts and not others – and as a result, much of it is not neutral.Therefore, the question of control of the media matters very much.In some cases, the media companies are more powerful than governments.They can even influence elections.So the question is – should they be controlled and if so, by whom?

A.reporters

B.the use of news networks

4.According to the passage, the big issue is ().

A.ownership of news networks

B.that there can only be a limited number of such networks like BBC News 24

C.that networks owned by large companies and governments have become bigger and very powerful

D.that the news reporting is manipulated by big companies

5.What can be inferred from this passage? ().

Take any long piece of paper. Now glue(粘)the ends of the paper together. You have mad
e a ring.

Take a second long piece of paper. Twist the paper once and glue the ends together. Now you have made a Mobius band(带子). For people studying maths, this band is uncommon.

This strange band was first made in the 1800s by a German man namedAugust. Mobius. Mr. Mobius studied maths. He wanted to find a way to show how this band works with maths. Understand it or not, this band has only one surface. You can find this out for yourself.

If you draw a line on the surface of the paper before you twist and glue it, the line is only on one side of the paper. The paper has two surfaces. However, if you draw a line after you make the Mobius band, you can follow the line around all sides of the paper. In other words, the Mobius band must have only one surface.

It is also very interesting to see what happens when you cut the band. If you cut the Mobius band in half once down the line you drew, you do not get two Mobius bands. Instead, after you cut the band, it turns into one large twisted ring. Then, if you cut this ring in half along the middle of the band again, you get two connected(相连的)Mobius bands.

1、What is a Mobius band?()

A、A long piece of paper

B、A paper ring for people to wear

C、A metal ring for music

D、An interesting twisted ring

2、Why didAugust Mobius make this ring?()

A、To help study a maths problem

B、To show it's the same as others

C、To show the only surface of any band

D、To find out how many sides it has

3、How can you change the two surfaces of a long piece of paper into one surface?()

A、Glue the ends of the long piece of paper

B、Cut the two surfaces of the paper into one

C、Draw a line in the middle of the paper

D、Twist the paper once and glue the two ends

4、What do you get if you cut the Mobius band along the middle?()

A、A long piece of paper

B、Two long pieces of paper

C、Two Mobius bands

D、One large twisted ring

5、Which of the following is NOT true?()

A、You can use any long piece of paper to make a Mobius band

B、Any long piece of paper has two surfaces

C、The Mobius band was first made about two hundred years ago

D、You have to draw a line in the middle of the long piece of paper before making a Mobius band

Teeth have been a part of animals almost from the beginning of animal life. The first
animals to have teeth were fish. These sea creatures lived millions of years ago. They had many finely pointed teeth for grabbing food from the water. They were distant cousins of today’s sharks.The teeth of animals help them do certain jobs or eat certain kinds of foods. Elephants have two large teeth, called tusks, which they use for digging up plants or for fighting. Lions and tigers have long, sharp teeth for tearing apart other animals. Those of horses and cows are short and flat. They are used for grinding plants.People have three main kinds of teeth. They have teeth that cut, teeth that tear, and teeth that grind. When biting into a piece of fruit, people use their cutting teeth. When pulling a piece of meat from a bone, they use their tearing teeth. When nibbling on a fresh carrot, they use their grinding teeth.Every person grows two sets of teeth. The first set often begins to appear when a baby is about six months old.

Section B – TWO questions ONLY to be attemptedThe independent board of governors (an indep

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)

第10题
John Preston lives in a flat in north London. He moved there after his wife died four
years ago to be close to his daughter’s family, and because his big detached house and garden were too much work for him as he got older. It’s easier in the flat because the letting agent does everything that needs doing. The agent has the not satisfied because the window frames need painted two years ago, but the painters didn’t do it very well, so they need doing again. John pays over £1,500 a year for service and maintenance, and he thinks that it’s not good enough because the flats look shabby and a lot of things need repairing.

His daughter June, and her husband, Pete, on the other hand, have to do everything themselves or find builders to do it. They live in a large semi-detached house further out from the center of London than John, but they are still near enough to see him often. They live in the suburbs with a nice garden when their children play. They moved there four years ago to have more space. The only drawback is that June’s husband has to commute into the centre of London every day, but, overall, they are happy with their decision. When they bought the house, a lot needed doing to it and still does. June says, “We have a list of things to do as long as your arm-the roof needs repairing and the chimney needs mending. The bedrooms need decorating and we haven’t had the broken windowpanes replaced yet in the conservatory. We need to fix the gate and repair the path-it looks dreadful when you arrive.

31. John lives in the centre of London.()

32. The agent hasn’t done anything to John’s flat.()

33. June and Pete live near to John.()

34. There are broken windowpanes in conservatory.()

35. The front of the house is in a good state (处于较好的状态)。()
