As a single parent, I tried to do my best to talk to him. But the more I tried, the more he pulled away. When his report card arrived during his junior year, it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six falling grades for the year. At this rate he would never graduate. I sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged him. Nothing worked.One night I felt so powerless that I got down on my knees and pleaded for help. “Please God, I cant do anything more for my son. Im at the end of my rope. Im giving the whole thing up to you.”I was at work when I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as the headmaster. “I want to talk to you about Karls absences.” Before he could say another word, I choked up and all my disappointment and sadness over Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger. “I love my son but I just dont know what to do . Ive tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. Its out of my hands. “For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line. The headmaster seriously said, “Thank you for your time”, and hung up.Karls next report card showed a marked improvement in his grades. Finally, he even made the honor roll .In his fourth year, I attended a parent-teacher meeting with Karl. I noticed that his teachers were astonished at the way he had turned himself around. On our way home, he said, “Mum, remember that call from the headmaster last year?” I nodded. “That was me. I thought Id play a joke but when I heard what you said, it really hit me how much I was hurting you. Thats when I knew I had to make you proud.”56By saying “Karl became withdrawn”, the author means that the boy changed entirely and _ .Apreferred to stay alone at home Blost interest in his studies Crefused to talk to others Dbegan to dislike his mother 57There was silence on the other end of the line because .Athe speaker was too moved to say anything to the mother Bthe speaker waited for the mother to finish speaking Cthe speaker didnt want the mother to recognize his voice Dthe speaker was unable to interrupt the mother 58The sentence “he even made the honor roll” means that “ _ ”.Ahe was even on the list to be praised at the parent-teacher meeting Bhe was even on the list of students who made progress in grades Che was even on the list of students who had turned themselves around Dhe was even on the list of the best students at school 59What is the main idea of this passage?AChildren in single-parent families often have mental problems.BMothers love plays an important role in teenagers life.CBeing understood by parents is very important to teenagers.DSchool education doesnt work without full support from parents.【B】If you are a recent social science graduate who has had to listen to jokes about unemployment from your computer major(主修学生) classmates, you may have had the last laugh. There are many advantages for the social science major because this high-tech "Information Age" demands people who are flexible (灵活的) and who have good communication skills.There are many social science majors in large companies who fill important positions. For example, a number of research studies found that social science majors had achieved greater managerial success than those who had technical training or pre-professional courses. Studies show that social science majors are most suited for change, which is the leading feature of the kind of high-speed, high-pressure, high-tech world we now live in.Social science majors are not only experiencing success in their long-term company jobs, but they are also finding jobs more easily. A study showed that many companies had filled a large percentage of their entry-level positions with social science graduates. The study also showed that the most sought-after quality in a person who was looking for a job was communication skills, noted as "very important" by 92 percent of the companies. Social science majors have these skills, often without knowing how important they are. It is probably due to these skills that they have been offered a wide variety of positions.Finally, although some social science majors may still find it more difficult than their technically trained classmates to land the first job, recent graduates report that they don't regret their choice of study.60. By saying that "you may have had the last laugh" in the first paragraph, the author means that you may have _.A. shared the jokes with computer majors B. earned as much as computer majors C. found jobs more easily than computer majors D. stopped joking about computer majors61. Compared with graduates of other subjects, social science graduates _.A. are ready to change when situations change B. are better able to deal with difficulties C. are equally good at computer skills D. are likely to give others pressure62. The underlined word “land” in the last paragraph probably means _.A. keep for some time B. successfully getC. immediately start D. lose regretfully63. According to the text, what has made it easy for social science graduates to find jobs? A. Willingness to take low-paid jobs. B. Readiness to gain high-tech knowledge. C. Skills in expressing themselves. D. Part-time work experience.【C】Three months after the government stopped issuing（发放）or renewing permits for Internet cafes because of security concerns, some cafe owners are having financial concerns of their own.The permits were stopped suddenly three months ago by the government until new safeguards could be put in place to prevent misuse of the information superhighway, but for cafe owners its a business breakdown with no fix in sight.“I handed in a request to open up an Internet café and received the conditions,” said the businessman Obeidallah. “I rented a place in the Sharafiah district at SR45,000 and prepared the place with equipment that cost me more than SR100,000. When I went to the local government after finishing everything, I was surprised to find that theyd stopped issuing permits for Internet cafes.”Having an Internet cafe without Internet is much like having a coffee shop without coffee. “Im avoiding closing the place, but its been more than three months with the situation ongoing as it is.” Obeidallah said. “Who will bear the losses caused by the permit issue?”The decision took many cafe owners by surprise. “I asked to open an Internet café, and I was handed a list of all the things that were needed to follow through, such as a sign for the place, filling
