2、onding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. 1 We find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed ability teaching. On the contrary , both their knowledge and expensive are enriched. We feel that there are many disadvantages in streaming(按智力划分 ) pupils. It does no
3、t take into account the fact that children develop at different rates. It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not so bright child. After all, it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of t he top grade! Besides, it is rather unreal to grade pupils just according to their intellec
4、tual ability. This is only one aspect of their total personality (76) We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full , not just their academic ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed ability teaching contributes to all these aspect
5、s of learning. In our classrooms, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups: this gives them the opportunity to learn to co operate, to share, and to develop leadership skills. They also learn how to cope with personal problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to a
6、nalyze and evaluate, and to communicate effectively. The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teacher. Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes they work on individual tasks and assignments, and they can do this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this
7、 is appropriate. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this efficiently. An advanced pupil can do advanced work: it does not matter what age the child is. We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every encour

12、asize the importance of appropriate formal classroom teaching 6 If you smoke particularly cigarettes you are far more likely than a non smoker to suffer or die from several major diseases notably lung cancer. One smoker in four dies prematurely (过早地 ) because of his smoking. The risk of dying for a
13、heavy smoker (between the ages of 35 and 55) is roughly equal to the risk run by a non smoker 113 years older. Cigarette smoking and to a lesser degree pipe and cigar smoking may aggravate(使恶化 ) or be partly responsible for the development of a wide variety of other diseases ,which include cancers o
14、f the mouth and throat ,peptic ulcers (胃溃疡 ), and loss of teeth. (77) Women who smoke during pregnancy produce babies on average about 5 to 8 ounces lighter than those who dont. Take lung cancer for example: Britains lung cancer figures are the highest in the world, and rising. Ninety people die eve
15、ry day, 33, 000 in 1969. Almost all these deaths can attributed directly to tobacco smoking. (78) The prospects of a cure for lung cancer are, at present, remote, and it is impossible to estimate when, if ever, someone will find one. You would be foolish to rely on someone finding a cure before you
16、needed it. One man in eight who dies between the ages of 35 and 64 is kill ed by lung cancer. The figures for women in this age group are lower, about 1 in 20. This is partly because women smoke less, and have not smoked as long. But the figures are still very high. 6 According to the passage, lung
17、cancer _. （ A） is the major cause of death between the ages of 35 and 55 （ B） is most often caused by smoking （ C） never affects non smokers （ D） has nothing to do with smoking 7 Women who smoke during pregnancy produce _. （ A） lighter babies than those who dont （ B） heavier babies than those who do
18、nt （ C） babies who cant live long （ D） babies who suffer from heart diseases 8 The cure for lung cancer _. （ A） can be found before long （ B） is available if one needs it （ C） is unknown at present （ D） will be found before you need it 9 The passage suggests that women _. （ A） smoke as much as men （
19、 B） react better than men to smoking （ C） are affected by smoking only during pregnancy （ D） run the risks as men if they smoke 10 What is the main idea of the passage? （ A） Man smokers live shorter than woman smokers. （ B） All the deaths in Britain result directly from tobacco smoking. （ C） Smoking
20、 is the main killer of babies. （ D） Smoking can give rise to several major diseases. 11 Modern mass production methods lower the cost of making goods, and thus give us better values. At the same time ,American ingenuity(独创性 ) and science are constantly at work improving the quality of products. (79)
21、 In this way, better quality products at good values are continually being brought to the people of all income groups. As an example of how this worked, when facial tissues (面巾纸 ) were first put on the market in 1924, they were made in limited quantities and sold at 65 cents per box of 200. People l
22、ike these facial tissues immediately and began asking for them when they went into different stores. Because there was such a demand for the product, manufacturers began making tissues in larger and larger quantities. Because the manufacturers were making tissues in greater quantities, their product
23、ion costs were lowered, so that the price of tissues went down. (80) In the meanwhile, the quality of facial tissues was constantly improving, because more manufacturers went into the business of making tissues, and each manufacturer strove to make his product better than his competitors. Today, ins
24、tead of costing 65 cents, a box of 200 tissues costs around one third of that price, and they are both softer and stronger. When people are free to compete when they are free to make more things and make them better everyone benefits. 11 In regard to the production of goods in greater quantities, th
25、e author states that _. （ A） the price of the goods should drop （ B） the quality of the goods should improve （ C） the price and the quality should both rise （ D） the quality and the price should both drop 12 When the demand for facial tissues increased, _. （ A） the supply was quickly exhausted （ B）
26、its price went up （ C） the manufacturers tried to improve its quality （ D） more manufacturers went into the business of making tissues 13 Improved quality of facial tissues resulted from _. （ A） mass production methods （ B） popular demand for a better product （ C） a decrease in production costs （ D）
27、 competition among manufacturers 14 According to the passage we can see that lower prices and better quality occur _. （ A） as a result of the effect of one on the other （ B） always at the same time （ C） independently of each other （ D） when the demand exceeds the supply 15 The author believes that i
28、n a nation where free enterprise (自由企业制 ) exists , manufacturers will produce _. （ A） as much as they like （ B） better quality merchandise (商品 ) （ C） more than they are able to sell （ D） both A and B 二、 Part II Vocabulary and Structure (30%) Directions: In this part, there are 30 incomplete sentence
