第三部分 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Enter a typical high school,and the first thing you see is the front office,where the principal sits and report cards(学生成绩报告单)are stored.The front office also reinforces familiar rank:principal at the top,teachers in the middle,kids at the bottom,sitting with hands folded at their desks.
Now,imagine a school where the organizational structure is completely flat.At the New Country School in Henderson,Minn.,there is no front office.Visitors are immediately embraced by an airy atrium(中庭)that is the centerpiece of this one-room schoolhouse.All around the room,124 students sit at the desks—real office desks—working at their own personal computers on their own projects.
When Dee Thomas and her colleagues get together 15 years ago to design a new high school,they knew there was one thing that had to go:the bell.Thomas said that everyone agreed that the constant interruption of classes caused huge amounts of strain.Moreover, it’s just not natural, Thomas said.
There.are no teachers at New Country Adults are viewed as guides to learning.Every few weeks, students must present projects they’ve been working on to the rest of the school community.To prepare for their presentations,they gather at tables in the middle of the school atrium and then present their work to their guides.In their spare time, students clean the bathrooms and the rest of the school themselves.
Kids at New country test better than their peers on the state tests and
on the pre-college ACT.The school sends 90 percent of its graduates to college.But that doesn’t tell the whole story.New Country struggles to keep its seniors from leaving.The school’s senior project is demanding—300 hours of work.
But for some students,New Country offers a rare alternative,a choice they can’t find anywhere else.And the school is constantly visited by educators from around the world looking for new ideas.That’s the foundation of efforts to reform American high schools today and there’s a need to experiment with an institution that is failing millions of students.
56.The underlined part“there was one thing that had to go:the bell”in Paragraph 3 means that .
A.keeping the bell was necessary
B.the bell should be changed into a pleasant music C.the bell was very important D.the bell should be removed
57.Which of the following is TRUE about New Country according to the passage?
A.Students work on their own projects using their personal computers. B.Students consult with guides,who“teach”in a traditional way. C.It appeals to both junior and senior students. D.Students show their projects to each other every week. 58.Which of the following is NOT a feature of New Country?
A.No seniors B.No front
office C.No bells D.No cleaners
59.What would be the best title for the passage? A.Typical high schools and experimental schools
