18、 On the contrary, both their knowledge and experience are enriched. We feel that there are many disadvantages in dividing pupils into different groups. It does not 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 c
19、hild. After all, it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade!Besides, it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual ability. This is only one aspect of their total personality. We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full, n
20、ot just their academic ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning.In our classrooms, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups: this gives them the opportunity to learn to cooperate,
21、 to share, and to develop leadership skills. They also learn how to cope with personal problems as well as how to think, to make decisions, to analyze and evaluate, and to communicate effectively. The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teacher.Sometimes the pupils work in pairs: someti
22、mes 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 is appropriate. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this effectively. An advanced pupil can do
23、 advanced work: it does not matter how old the child is. We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every encouragement to attain this goal.41 The phrase “held back“ in Line 1 means being_.（A）forced to study hard（B） stopped from making progress（C） unwilling to study har
24、d（D）pushed to make great progress42 The writers attitude towards “mixed -ability teaching“ is_.（A）approving（B） negative（C） critical（D）indifferent43 According to the writer, the main concern of a teacher should be the development of the students _.（A）social skills（B） total personality（C） personal qua
25、lities（D）intellectual ability44 Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the third paragraph?（A）Pupils can learn how to be capable organizers.（B） Pupils can learn how to work together with others.（C） Pupils can learn how to participate in teaching activities.（D）Pupils can learn how to develop thei
26、r reasoning abilities.45 This passage aims to_.（A）offer advice on the effective use of the library（B） emphasize the importance of teaching skills（C） discuss pair work and group work for classroom activities（D）argue for teaching bright and not-so-bright pupils in the same class45 Entire cultures oper
27、ate on elaborate systems of indirectness. For example, it is discovered in a small research project that more Greeks assumed that a wife who asked, “ Would you like to go to the party?“ was hinting that she wanted to go. They felt that she woulnt bring it up if she didnt want to go. Furthermore, the
28、y felt, she would not state her preference directly because that would sound like a demand. Indirectness was the appropriate means for communicating her preference.Japanese culture has developed indirectness to a fine art. For example, a Japanese professor, Harumi Befu, explains the delicate exchang
29、e of indirectness required by a simple invitation to lunch. When his friend extended the invitation, Befu first had to determine whether it was meant literally or just a ritual, much as an American might say, “Well have to have you over for dinner some time“ but would not expect you to turn up at th
30、e door. Having decided the invitation was meant literally and haying accepted, Befu was then asked what he would like to eat. Following custom, he said anything would do, but his friend, also following custom, pressed him to specify. Host and guest repeated this exchange an appropriate number of tim
31、es, until Befu, thought it polite to answer the question politelyby saying that tea over rice would be fine. When he arrived for lunch, he was indeed served tea over riceas the last course of a luxurious meal. Befu was not surprised by the feast, because he knew that custom required it. Had he been
32、given what he asked for, he would have been insulted. But custom also required that he make a great show of being surprised.46 According to Paragraph 1, Greeks believe that women_.（A）would like to give demands（B） use more questions than statements（C） carefully weave their wishes into questions（D）are
33、 afraid of expressing personal opinions47 On receiving a lunch invitation, Befu first has to_.（A）decide whether to accept it or not（B） figure out what he would like to eat（C） pretend to show great surprise（D）judge whether the invitation is serious48 Why would Befu ask for tea over rice?（A）To be poli
34、te by making things easy.（B） It is his favorite.（C） To avoid being insulted.（D）To end the conversation quickly.49 Which of the following statements is true?（A）Befu was served exactly what he had asked for.（B） It would be impolite to serve a simple lunch.（C） Befu was surprised by the last course for
35、lunch.（D）Befu acted like he enjoyed his meal a lot.50 What is the main idea of the passage?（A）Greeks and Japanese are well known for being indirect.（B） Indirectness is evident in many cultures.（C） Meals reveal a lot about a particular culture.（D）People sometimes tell lies with good intention.50 It i
36、s really a surprise that after hundreds of years, educationists have still failed to design anything more efficient and reliable than examinations. It is claimed that examinations test what you know, but it is common knowledge that they more often do the exact opposite. They may be a good means of t
37、esting memory, or the skills of working rapidly under extreme pressure, but they can tell you nothing about a persons true ability.As anxiety-makers, examinations are second to none. That is because so much depends on them. They are the mark of success or failure in our society. Your whole future ma
38、y be decided in one fateful day. No one can show his best in worry, or after a sleepless night, yet this is precisely what the examination system expects him to do.A good education should, among other things, train you to think for yourself. The examination system, however, does anything but that. W
39、hat has to be learnt is laid down by a syllabus(教学大纲 ) , so the student is encouraged to memorize. Examinations do not motivate a student to read widely, and they do not enable him to seek more and more knowledge. Furthermore, teachers themselves are often judged by the results of their students exa
40、minations. Consequently, they have to train their students to master exam techniques which they dislike. The most successful candidates are not always the best educated but the best trained.The results on which so much depends are often nothing more than a subjective assessment by some anonymous(匿名的
41、) examiners. They certainly make mistakes, because they have to mark mountains of scripts(答卷) in a limited amount of time. They work under the same sort of pressure as the candidates.51 The main idea of this passage is that examinations are_.（A）anxiety-makers（B） harmful to education（C） reliable and
42、efficient（D）good measures of memory52 It is clear that the author_examinations.（A）argues for（B） argues against（C） is interested in（D）is indifferent to53 The fate of students is decided by_according to the passage.（A）examination（B） education（C） teaching（D）learning54 According to the author, the most
43、importance of a good education is to_.（A）encourage students to read widely（B） teach students how to tackle exams（C） train students to think on their own（D）encourage students to seek more knowledge55 Which statement is NOT mentioned in the passage?（A）Examinations can make students anxious.（B） The exa
44、miners might make mistakes in marking.（C） Teachers work is judged based on the results of examinations.（D）Tools better than examinations to test students ability have been found.55 In a survey conducted by research firm Harris Interactive, 71% of Americans said that spending extra money on travel du
45、ring the holiday season is worthwhileso long as it affords them time with family and friends. But just because traveling may be the right thing to do, that doesn t mean it has to be the expensive thing to do. Traveling involves many hidden costs that, once you re aware of them, are easy to spotand e
46、ven easier to eliminate.To start, consider transportation fees. For example, if you re driving, fill up the gas tank before traveling on the highway, where its much costlier, says Clarky Davis, a personal finance expert. And make sure your car is in good condition by checking your heating vents, kee
47、ping up with routine maintenance and ensuring your tires are properly inflated, all of which help the car achieve favorable fuel economy. Furthermore, not only does a tow car(救援车) cause inconvenience: it also means extra costs.For those opting to fly, first, be aware of how much it costs to check a
48、bag. Most airlines are charging for every checked bag by weight, but prices vary from carrier to carrier. If you can manage to pack everything into a carry-on, you 11 save at least $15. Brooke Ferencsik, a travel expert, suggests considering secondary airports when booking your flight. These airports often are less crowded and frequently offer cheaper tickets.And when it comes to your actual destination, don t assume that hotels are going to cut back on fees simply because they re desperate to draw customers. “They wont be adding or increasing fees, but they won t be decreasing them either
