My 11-year-old daughter has been awarded an academic scholarship to a private school. It's only a small discount, but the scholarship means she'll skip the waiting list --- provided my husband and I can cover $20,000 a year. Should we pay the private school fees, or choose free education instead?

I always assumed my children would go to a private school, like I did. Not because my family is wealthy, but because I believe that the best education is private. It took years for me to make peace with the fact that my two children attended our local public primary school. They'll go to a private high school, I told myself. Yet here we are. My eldest is now in her last year of primary school, and my husband and I will struggle to afford private school. If so, I could increase my work hours. My law degree was supposed to be my ticket to a good job and a solid income, but that's not quite how it turned out.

The guilt and expectations are mine alone.I'm terrified that my daughter's potential will be wasted at the public school. And yet, I know that working more hours will crush(压垮)me.During many sleepless nights, I felt troubled by the decision.

Although I want to the best for my daughter, I have my own dreams too. I can't sacrifice everything for my precious girl. I explain that I want to be a positive role model for my daughter, and an unhappy parent is a terrible strain on a family. I point out that not even the privilege of private school will protect my children from disappointment or struggle. And finally, it's decided. My daughter is going to the public school behind our home. She couldn't be more pleased.

It's taken me a little longer, but now I'm content. More than my fancy private school education, it's my family that shaped me. With high school now 25 years in the past, I can no longer remember the mathematical problems and Shakespearean quotes I once knew so perfectly. The lessons from my childhood home, however, have proved impossible to forget.

24.From the passage we know that .

A. the scholarship her daughter won could cover most of her school fees

B. her two children attended their local private primary school

C. the writer had a good job and a solid income

D. it took a long time for her to make the final decision

25. Why did the writer want her daughter to go to a private school at first?

A. Because she wanted her daughter to receive the best education.

B. Because her daughter earned an academic scholarship.

C. Because she wanted her daughter to skip the waiting list.

D. Because her daughter's potential was wasted at the public primary school.

26. The underlined word "strain" in Paragraph 4 refers to .

A. anger

B. comfort

C. burden

D. relief

27. What does the passage indicate?

A. Parents should make every sacrifice for their children.

B. Finance should be taken into account when it comes to education.

C. Private school education is not as good as public school education.

D. Rather than school education, family influences a person most.

C

Imagine, one day, getting out of bed in Beijing and being at your office in Shanghai in only a couple of hours, and then, after a full day of work, going back home to Beijing and having dinner there.

Sounds unusual, doesn't it? But it's not that unrealistic, with the development of China's high-speed railway system. And that's not all. China has an even greater high-speed railway plan to connect the country with Southeast Asia, and eventually Eastern Europe.

China is negotiating to extend its own high-speed railway network to up to 17 countries in 10 to 15 years, eventually reaching London and Singapore.

China has proposed three such projects. The first would possibly connect Kunming with Singapore via Vietnam and Malaysia. Another could start in Urumqi and go through Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, and possibly to Germany. The third would start in the northeast and go north through Russia and then into Western Europe.

If China's plan for the high-speed railway goes forward, people could zip over from London to Beijing in under two days.

The new system would still follow China's high-speed railway standard. And the trains would be able to go 346 kilometers an hour, almost as fast as some airplanes.

China's high-speed train, the one connecting Wuhan to Guangzhou, already has the World's fastest average speed. It covers 1,069 kilometers in about three hours.

Of course, there are some technical challenges to overcome. There are so many issues that need to be settled, such as safety, rail gauge(轨距), maintenance of railway tracks. So, it's important to pay attention to every detail.

But the key issue is really money. China is already spending hundreds of billions of Yuan on domestic railway expansion.

China prefers that the other countries pay in natural resources rather than with capital investment. Resources from those countries could stream into China to sustain development.

It'll be a win-win project. For other countries, the railway network will definitely create more opportunities for business, tourism and so on, not to mention the better communication among those countries.

For China, such a project would not only connect it with the rest of Asia and bring some much-needed resources, but would also help develop China's far west. We foresee that in the coming decades, millions of people will migrate to the western regions, where the land is empty and resources unused. With high-speed trains, people will set up factories and business centers in the west once and for all. And they'll trade with Central Asian and Eastern European countries.

28. China's new high-speed railway plan will be a win-win project because _____.

A. China will get much-needed resources and develop its western regions

B. China and the countries involved will benefit from the project in various ways

C. China will develop its railway system and communication with other countries

D. the foreign countries involved will develop their railway transportation, business and tourism

29. According to the passage, the greatest challenge to the new high-speed railway plan is .

A. technical issues

B. safety of the system

C. financial problems

D. maintenance of railway tracks

30. Which of the following words best describes the author's attitude towards China's

high-speed railway plan?

A. Critical

B. Reserved

C. Doubtful

D. Positive

31. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?

A. Big Railway Dreams

B. New Railway Standards

C. High-speed Bullet Trains

D. International Railway Network

D

At the Backs of King's College there is a memorial stone in white marble honoring an graduate of the College, renowned Chinese poet Xu Zhimo. Moving to the UK in 1921, Zhimo spent a year studying at King's, where he fell in love not only with the romantic poetry of English poets like John Keats, but also with Cambridge itself.

His poem, commonly translated as Second Farewell to Cambridge, is arguably his most famous poem, and is now a compulsory text on Chinese literature, learnt by millions of school children across the country every year. The poem paints an idyllic portrait of King's and the River Cam, and serves as a reminder of Xu Zhimo's fondness for his time in Cambridge. While the poem has been set to music many times before, King's has commissioned（委派）the first musical setting of the text to a mainstream classical composer. The new piece, by renowned English composer John Rutter, has been written and recorded in celebration of the near 100-year link between King's College and Xu Zhimo, and has been released on 26 January 2018 on a new album of the King's College Record Label.

"Many intellectual transformations happened for him while he was here and in some ways the whole seed of his development as a person who became an intellectual poet, through the medium of poetry, all sort of connected up with his visit to Cambridge and the people he met." noted Steve Cherry, the associate dean of King's college.

"John Rutter is a very resourceful composer, and I was delighted with the way he imagined doing this, presenting most of the text through the singer for which we engage the Chinese singer." Stephen Cleobury, the current chief conductor, said,"Well, I wanted to have a go myself at making an arrangement of it which would express something of what we do at King's College."

"The inspiration I think came from the poem which is on the tablet by the bridge here in the college. Apart from the tourist self and the words, which of course are quite big elements in it, it's not specifically intended to be a Chinese piece. It's the sort of arrangement I would make for something like that, and it's a very beautiful melody."

32. What is the purpose of writing Second Farewell to Cambridge?

A. To reflect the romantic poetry of poets like John Keats.

B. To tell the link between King's College and Xu Zhimo.

C. To express the Xu Zhimo's love for his time in Cambridge.

D. To describe the beautiful scenery of King's and the River Cam.

33. Why is the poem learnt by millions of school children across China?

A. It is about the world famous university.

B. It is one of the famous Chinese poems.

C. It is a compulsory text on Chinese literature.

D. It shows something of what the poet enjoyed.

34. Why is the poem set to music once more?

A. It can attract the tourists from China and abroad.

B. It can introduce the Chinese culture to the British people.

C. It can bring the happiness to those who love Xu Zhimo a lot.

D. It can honor the connection between Cambridge and Xu Zhimo.

35. What in some ways made Xu Zhimo an intellectual poet?

A. His development as a romantic person.

B. His learning experience at King's College.

C. His inspiration which came from the poem.

D. His visit to the people he met in Cambridge.
