2010年全国职称英语综合类（C级）考试真题及答案
Ambition and determination have always been a big part of Ellen's personality．When she was younger，she lived in a kind of hut(棚屋)for three years while she was trying to get sponsorship tocompete in a transatlantic race．Then she took a one-way ticked to France，bought a tiny seven meter Class Mini yacht，slept under it while she was repairing it，and then she raced it 4，000 kilometers across the Atlantic in 1997，alone for 33 days．
Ellen has had to learn many things，because sailing single-handed means that she has to be herown captain，electrician，sail maker，engineer，doctor，journalist，cameraman and cook．She alsohas to be very fit，and because of the dangers of sleeping for long periods of time when she's in themiddle of the ocean．she has trained herself to sleep for about 20 minutes at a time．
And she needs courage．Once，in the middle of the ocean，she had to climb the mast(桅杆)of a boat to repair the sails-at four o'clock in the morning．with 100 kph winds blowing around her．It took her many hours to make the repairs．Ellen says，"I was exhausted when I came down．It'shard to describe how it feels to be up there．It's like trying to hold onto a big pole，which for me isjust too big to get my arms around，with someone kicking you all the time and trying to shakeyou off．"But in her diary，Ellen also describes moments which make it all worthwhile(值得的)："Abeautiful sunrise started the day，with black clouds slowly lit by the bright yellow sun．I have a verystrong feeling of pleasure，being out here on the ocean and having the chance to live this．I just feellucky to be here．"

One-room Schools
One-room schools are part of the heritage of the United States，and the mention of them makespeople feel a vague long for the way things were．One-room schools are an endangered species，however．For more than a hundred years，one-room schools have been systematically shut down andtheir students sent away to centralized schools．As recently as 1930 there were 149，000 one-roomschools in the United States．By 1970 there were 1，800．Today，of nearly 800 remaining one-roomschools．more than 350 are in Nebraska．The rest are scattered through a few other states that haveon their road maps wide-open spaces between towns．
Now that there are hardly any left，educators are beginning to think that maybe there is some-thing yet to be learned from one-room schools，something that served the pioneers that might serve aswell today．Progressive educators have come up with progressive-sounding names like"peer-groupteaching"and"multi-age grouping"for educational procedures that occur naturally in the one-roomschools．In a one-room school the children teach each other because the teacher is busy part of thetime teaching someone else．A fourth grader can work at a fifth-grade level in math and a third-gradelevel in English without the stigma associated with being left back or the pressures of being skippedahead．A youngster with a learning disability can find his or her own level without being separatedfrom the other pupils．In larger urban and suburban schools today．this is called"mainstreaming．"A few hours in a small school that has only one classroom and it becomes clear why SO many parentsfeel that one of the advantages of living in Nebraska is that their children have to go to a one-roomschoo1．
