30、owed to stay open round-the-clock under a planned radical change of Britains outdated licensing (许可证发放) laws.Prime Minister Tony Blair yesterday revealed a Bill (议案) to bring in the long-awaited improvement will be contained in the Queens Speech next week. Some public bars and clubs could be open al
31、l hours while others could choose different closing times into the early hours.Police forces around the country have said different closing times will mean the explosion in violence and vandalism (破坏行为) after 11 p.m.-when aggressive drunks are sent out at the same time.The move will be opposed by so
32、me MPs (下院议员) who fear it will lead to increased alcoholism, drunken behavior and crime. But ministers say there will be controls on which pubs and clubs are allowed to open 24 hours a day.Places which consistently attract violent drunks and troublemakers will be turned down.Mr. Blair said: “We beli
33、eve there should be greater flexibility in licensing. In the end, the evidence that we have is that it may help in the fight against anti-social behavior. At the moment the very fixed nature of the hours sometimes means that you get particular problems outside pubs and city centers at particular hou
34、rs of the evening.“The big change will be accompanied by a strict action on petty criminals who cause misery to urban and rural communities.In a bid to prevent criticism of the licensing improvement, the Government is to extend on-the-spot fines to a range of offences from vandalism.The PM said yest

But relying on educators to approach this task correctly can be a great mistake. Many schools continue to employ instructional methods that h
39、ave been proven ineffective. The staying power of the “look-say“ or “whole-word“ method of teaching beginning reading is perhaps the most flagrant example of this failure to instruct effectively.The whole-word approach to reading stresses the meaning of words over the meaning of letters, thinking ov
40、er decoding, developing a sight vocabulary of familiar words over developing the ability to unlock the pronunciation of unfamiliar words. It fits in with the serf-directed, “learning how to learn“ activities recommended by advocates of “open“ classrooms and with the concept that children have to be
41、developmentally ready to begin reading. Before 1963, no major publisher put out anything but these “Run- Spot-Run“ readers.However, in 1955, Rudolf Flesch touched off what has been called “the great debate“ in beginning reading. In his best-seller Why Johnny Cant Read, Flesch indicted(控诉)the nations
42、 public schools for miseducating students by using the look-say method. He said-and mere scholarly studies by Jeane Chall and Rovert Dykstra later confirmed-that another approach to beginning reading, founded on phonics(声学), is far superior.Systematic phonics first teaches children to associate lett
43、ers and letter combinations with sounds; it then teaches them how to blend these sounds together to make words. Rather than building up a relatively limited vocabulary of memorized words, it imparts a code by which the pronunciations of the vast majority of the most common words in the English langu
44、age can be learned. Phonics does not devalue the importance of thinking about the meaning of words and sentences; it simply recognizes that decoding is the logical and necessary first step.（分数：12.00）(1).The author feels that counting on educators to teach reading correctly is _ .A. only logical and
45、natural B. the expected positionC. probably a mistake D. merely effective instruction（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(2).The author indicts the look-say reading approach because _ .A. it overlooks decoding B. Rudolf Flesch agrees with himC. he says it is boring D. many schools continue to use this method（分数：3.00）A
46、B.C.D.(3).One major difference between the look-say method of learning reading and the phonies method is _ .A. look-say is simpler B. Phonics takes longer to learnC. look-say is easier to teach D. phonics gives readers access to far more words（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(4).The phrase “touch-off“ (Para 3, Lin
47、e 1) most probably means _ .A. talk about shortly B. start or cause C. compare with D. oppose（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.You can tell age of a tree by counting its rings. But these records of a trees life really say a lot more. Scientists are using tree rings to learn whats been happening on the suns surface f
48、or the last ten thousand years. Each ring represents a year of growth. As the tree grows, it adds a layer to its trunk, taking up chemical elements from the air. By looking at elements in the rings from a certain year, scientists can what elements were in the air that year. Dr. Stevenson is analyzin
49、g one element, carbon-14, in rings from both living and dead trees. Some rings go back almost ten thousand years to the end of the Ice Age. When Stevenson followed the carbon-14 track back in time, he found carbon-14 levels changed with the intensity of solar buring. You see, the sun has cycles. Sometimes it burns fiercely, and at other times its relatively calm. During the suns violent periods, it throws off charged formation
