4、hat he may be saying is that he doesnt think you deserve your luck.How can you tell the real meaning behind someones words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking.

19、)A.B.C.D.The British National Health Service (NHS) was set up in 1948 and was designed to provide equal basic health care, free of charge, for everybody in the country. Before this time health care had to be paid for by individuals.Nowadays central government is directly responsible for the NHS alth
20、ough it is administered by local health authorities. About 83 percent of the cost of the health service is paid by general taxation and the rest is met from the National Insurance contributions paid by those in work. There are charges for prescription and dental care but many people, such as childre
21、n, pregnant women, pensioners, and those on Income Support, are exempt from payment.Most people are registered with a local doctor (a GP, or General Practitioner) who is increasingly likely to be part of a health centre which serves the community.As the population of Britain gets older, the hospital
22、 service now treats more patients than before, although patients spend less time in hospital. NHS hospitals-many of which were built in the nineteenth century-provide nearly half a million beds and have over 480, 000 medical staff. The NHS is the biggest employer in Europe although Britain actually
23、spends less per person on health care than most of her European neighbours.During the 1980s there was considerable restructuring of the Health Service with an increased emphasis on managerial efficiency and the privatization of some services (for example, cleaning). At the end of the 1980s the gover
24、nment introduced proposals for further reform of the NHS, including allowing some hospitals to be self-governing, and encouraging GPs to compete for patients. Patients would be able to choose and change their family doctor more easily and GPs would have more financial responsibility. The political q

The building of the Bastille had been started in 120 under Cha
30、rles V. By the seventeenth century it had stopped to be important for defense. Cardinal Richelieu turned it into a prison. It was not an ordinary prison to punish common crimes. Its huge doors closed only on enemies of the King. The Bastilles workings were secret. Prisoners were taken to it in close
31、d vehicles. Soldiers on guard duty had to stand with their faces to the wall. No talking was allowed. Worst of all, a prisoner never knew if he would be there a day, a week, a year, or forever; only the Kings letter could set him free.Over the years the number of arrests by Kings letter had become s
32、maller. By the time of its fall, most of the prisoners were writers who had written against the corruptions of the government. Voltaire, the famous French writer, spent a year there in 17171718, and another 12 days in 1726.For those who believed in free speech and free thinking, the Bastille stood f
33、or everything evil. The day it was captured, only seven prisoners were found inside. Still, the Bastille was hated by the people.

38、f the BastilleD. gives a brief history of the Bastille(分数:4.00)A.B.C.D.As long as teachers fail to distinguish between teaching and learning, they will continue to undertake to do for children what only children can do for themselves. Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them. It i
39、s certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that“ Reading cannot be taught directly and schools should stop trying to do the impossible“.Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They differ in kind and function. The function of teaching is to c
40、reate the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read. Teaching is also a public activity; it can be seen and observed.Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world of prin
41、ted language. Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process is not open to public scrutiny.If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable, what then can be done through teaching to aid the child in the quest for knowledge? Smith has one principal rule
42、 for all teaching instructions. “Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children.“When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teacher and learner fulfill them appropriately, then much of the press
43、ure and feeling of failure for both is eliminated. Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of learning to read by reading.(分数:20.00)(1).The problem with the reading course as mentioned in the first paragraph is

45、t school for studentsB. teachers can enable students to develop their own way of readingC. teachers can devise the most efficient system for readingD. teachers can make their teaching activities observable(分数:4.00)A.B.C.D.(3).The underlined word “scrutiny“ most probably means“_“.A. inquiry B. observ
46、ationC. control D. suspicion(分数:4.00)A.B.C.D.(4).According to the passage, learning to read will no longer be a difficult task when _.A. children become highly motivatedB. teacher and learner roles are interchangeableC. teaching helps children in the search for knowledgeD. reading enriches childrens
47、 experience(分数:4.00)A.B.C.D.(5).The main idea of the passage is that _.A. teachers should do as little as possible in helping students learn to readB. teachers should encourage students to read as widely as possibleC. reading ability is something acquired rather than taughtD. reading is more complic
