A welding team was repairing a broken track for one of the trains that help carry gold ore to the surface. Suddenly, an acetylene tank sparked and flared flames swept through the tunnel, igniting plastic-covered wiring, which in turn set fire to polyurethane foam that keeps the walls fry and solid. Within minutes the mine shaft filled with thick black smoke containing toxic fumes from the burning plastic. Choking miners immediately fell and died of asphyxiation. When the initial several hours rescue operation ended, 177 were dead, one was missing, and 235 were injured, making Kinross the worst gold-mine disaster in South African history. All but five of the victims were black, and the black-dominated National Union of Mineworkers denounced the “unacc eptably low safety standards” in the mines. In fact, Kinross last year lost its top safety rating. But the mine’s general manager said the plastics that burned had been considered safe. A government investigation is now under way.1. We know that the accident happened_____.A. at nightB. in the daytimeC. at noonD. in the afternoon2. It was_____ that caused the fire.A. an acetylene tankB. plastic-covered wiringC. polyurethane foamD. thick black plastic3. Which of the following statements is true?A. Many miners were burnt to death.B. Many miners choked and died.C. Many miners fell into the mine and were killed.D. A, B, C are wrong.4. The plastic that covered the wiring was_____.A. blackB. thickC. poisonousD. gold5. _____of the victims were black.A. FourB. FiveC. MostD. AllTEXT BNICHOLAS MONSARRAT, who has died, aged 69, based “The Cruel Sea,” his runaway bestseller first published in 1951, on his own experiences in the Battle of the Atlantic.In September, 1957, Mr. Desmond Flower, chairman of Cassell Co., handed him the millionth copy of the book. By March, 1964, more than seven copies had been sold.In its 14th year it was still selling at the rate of 30,000 a year. It was translated into 18 languages.Soon of Mr. Keith Monsarrat, a Liverpool surgeon, Nicholas John Turney Morsarrat was articled to a firm of Nottingham solicitor, but preferred the sea to the law.With a typewriter and 40 he went in 1934 to London, where he was soon reduced to sleeping on the Thames Embankment and in St. Martin’s crypt.But then his writing lifted him from the doldrums. Half a dozen books precedes the publication of “The Cruel Sea,” which owed its compelling attraction to the author’s first-hand experience as a lieut-commander with the RNVR, with which he served from 1940 to 1946.Before he joined the Royal Navy he went to Winchester and Trinity College, Cambridge.Winchester re calledThe pungency of Monsarrat’s pen was never better illustrated than with the description of his life at Winchester, which he called “A Season in Hell.”In 1926, he said, the college was “an awful place” and his presence coincided with “a disgusting peak of bullying and tyr anny.” The five years he spent at Winchester represented “a never-to-be-forgotten ordeal.”“Things must since have changed for the better,” he observed in The Sunday Telegraph, which serialized his story. “Indeed”, he added, “there was no other way for th em to go. The only reason I would like to believe in Hell is that these selected candidates might fry in it.”1. Which war did Monsarrat describe in his The Cruel Sea?A. The First World War.B. The Second World War.C. The Great War.D. The First World War and the Second World War.2. By 1958 how many copies of The Cruel Sea had been sold?A. More than a million copies.B. More than seven million copies.C. More than thirty thousand copies.D. More than forty thousand copies.3. The Cruel Sea was popular because ______.A. the author was well-knownB. it was based on personal experienceC. it was full of adventuresD. the plot is interesting4. Which statement is not true?A. Nicholas Monsarrat liked adventure.B. Nicholas Monsarrat hates his school.C. Nicholas Monsarrat slept rough in London by choice.D. Nicholas Monsarrat wrote the novel based on personal experience.5. According to Nicholas Monsarrat, his life at Winchester was _____.A. miserableB. happyC. dullD. excitingTEXT CHow can the U.S. Government raise tax revenues without raising taxes? One way may be to get tax evaders to pay up. To encourage those truants to come forth, Washington is considering introducing its first tax-amnesty program--one that would allow the cheaters to clear their consciences without penalty. Supporters of the idea say that a six-month amnesty could raise up to $25 billion from guilt-redden Americans. And congressional supporters of the plan say that the states have shown amnesty can work. In the last three years 18 states have offered amnesty programs. Among the success stories: New York raised $334 million in three months; Massachusetts took in $85 million.Fair share: But not everyone is a convert. Internal Revenue Service Commissioner Roscoe L. Egger Jr. told the House Ways and Means Committee last week that he believes the collection estimates are overstated. Most of the critics denounced the idea as an insult to those who pay their fair share. “It penalizes honest people and is one of the worst proposals I’ve ever heard,” says Republican Budget Committee member Sen. Slade Gorton. Egger, along with Treasury Secretary James A. Baker III, noted that amnesty could make future tax collection even more difficult by suggesting the possibility of future amnesties. Backers of the plan say the government must vow that it would be a one-time offer, and that stricter enforcement would follow. The administration has yet to take a stand on amnesty, but the lure of billions of dollars in new revenues may be hard to resist.1. How can the U.S. Government raise tax revenues?A. By punishing tax evaders.B. By protecting honest people.C. By making the “truants” pay their tax in full.D. By improving the tax rate.2. Which of the following is the view of the supporters of the tax-amnesty program?A. The tax-amnesty idea is an insult to honest people.B. The tax-amnesty program would raise a large amount of money.C. Amnesty could adversely affect future tax collection.D. The tax-amnesty idea is an insult to dishonest people.3. Why is it likely that amnesty will cause more difficulties?A. Because it may create more cheaters.B. Because it will need strict enforcement.C. Because it may lure the administration to make more money.D. Because it may create less cheaters.4. How many states have introduced amnesty programs?A. Twenty-fiveB. TwoC. EighteenD. None5. Which of the following ideas is not mentioned in the text?A. Amnesty will allow all the cheaters to have clear consciences.B. Amnesty can work.C. New York has benefited from amnesty.D. A，B and C.PRRT IV PARAPHRASE.

Pat and Bobwere quite bright, but Mike was rather dull.One day as Pat and Mike were walking down the sidewalk together, Pat put his hand on a solid brick wall and said, "Mike, hit my hand as hard as you can." Mike struck a hard blow, but Pat pulled his hand away from the wall just before Mike's fist hit it. Of course, it hurt Mike's hand very much when he hit the wall, but Pat said, "That was a good joke on you, wasn't it?" Mike agreed, but was not too happy.The following day Mike and Bob were walking in the town square. Mike decided to play the joke on Bob. He looked around, and seeing no solid object, he placed his hand over his face and said, "Bob, hit my hand as hard as you can." Bob agreed, and as he struck a hard blow with his fist, Mike quickly pulled his hand away and wasanalysis of it. The second guy is so amazed that he says to the mermaid, "Hey, triple my IQ."

The mermaid looks at him and says, "You know, I normally don't try to change people's minds when they make a wish, but I really wish you'd reconsider."The guy says, "No, I want you to increase my IQ five times, and if you don't do it, I won't set you free." "Please," says the mermaid, "you don't know what you're asking... It'll change your entire view of the universe. Won't you ask for something else? A million dollars or anything?"But no matter what the mermaid says, the guy insists on having his IQ increased by five times its usual power. So the mermaid sighs and says, "Done."

Tevident.Bob White: I thought e-mail messages were gender neutral!Dr. Herring: No. While theoretical gender equality exists for the Internet, in reality women are not given equal opportunity because of differentcommunication and language styles between the sexes.Bob White: How does that happen? Do you have any hard facts to back up this impression?Dr. Herring: Yes. I've done a research project using randomly selected e-mailmessages from online discussion groups. I found that females uselanguage that is more collaborative and supportive such as "Thanksfor all your tips on...", "Good point." and "Hope this helps!". Mentend to use more aggressive or competitive language such as "Do youunderstand that?", "You should realize that...", "It is absurd tothink...".Bob White: How great are these gender differences?Dr. Herring: Males write messages using aggressive, competitive language more than twice as often as females did, while females use collaborativematter who opens the door for whom. Maybe females just should not expect too much. Life isn't a fairy tale after all.John: It's absolutely true. Sometimes I feel that there isn't any difference in the roles both genders can perform. Of course I'm not saying that men can give birth.Rather what I meant was except for the physical and natural differences between both sexes, there isn't much difference between them.Cathy: But honestly, although I don't expect guys to open doors for me, or to pull outa chair for me, I am usually quite impressed if they do so, as many guys don'tdo it nowadays. If the guy was walking in front of me and went through thedoor first, I'd appreciate it if he could hold the door and not let it slam in myface.John: Well, if I'm the one walking in front, I will open the door and hold it for the people behind me, be it a girl or a boy. I actually had the door slam right in my face a number of times though, when the person walking closely in front of me didn't hold the heavy glass door and let it swing back in my face. Of course, I tried to hold the door, but it was too heavy and too late. But I think it was more embarrassing for him than me as everyone was looking at him, while I was rubbing my squashed nose.Cathy: So being a gentleman does not stop at opening doors.

Men and women are created equally but boys and girls are not born the same.You throw a little girl a ball, and it will hit her in the nose. You throw a little boy a ball, and he will try to catch it.

When boys play with Barbie dolls, they like to tear their hair off.Boys couldn't care less if their hair is untidy. But for girls, if their hair got cut a quarter-inch too short, they would rather lock themselves in their room for two weeks than be seen in public.Baby girls find mommy's makeup and almost instinctively start painting their faces.One day I took my seven-year-old son with me to shop for an electric wall clock for the kitchen and found a whole counter full of them on sale at a discount store. I had trouble deciding which clock to buy. While I held one clock in my hand and looked at another, I asked my son which one he liked better.“The one you’re holding with the mouse in it, Mom,” he said.Before I understood his words, a real, live mouse jumped out onto the counter and ran away. I screamed so loud everyone turned to see what was wrong. I was so embarrassed. I tried to make my way quietly out of the store. Everyone was looking at me.

B 2. D3. A4. C5. DListening 4It is my belief that gender stereotypes are very real gender characteristics that are exaggerated to the extreme ends with no gray areas. So in truth a woman is "weak" physically only because a man is in reality "stronger". A woman is "submissive" only because a man in reality is more "aggressive". A woman is "emotional" only because a man is "less emotional". All these are observed facts.Are there ways to avoid the stereotyping? This is hard to do. We as males and females love to exaggerate our differences. It seems we love to do this in many ways.We love to exaggerate gender traits as if to say "Look how female I am" or "Look how male I am". Do we go so far as to actually create differences that do not exist? Not from what I see. I think we like to exaggerate our differences because the more male we feel or the more female we feel the more attractive we feel.So all in all I believe stereotypes are true differences that are exaggerated. I don't think stereotypes should be avoided because they are real. I do think that we should not place extremes of a trait to a gender as a whole and most certainly not limit someone's potential abilities based on a stereotype. Stereotypes should apply in general but not to an individual. They should serve to help make judgment but not as an absolute.proficient 6)interesting 7) original 8) less 9) finish the race Listening IIOnce Wealth and Poverty approached a merchant and introduced themselves as Goddesses. The merchant greeted both of them and said, "May I ask why you have come to my humble home?" The Goddess of Wealth said, "We want you to judge between us who is the most beautiful."The merchant did not know what to say. He knew he was between the devil and the deep blue sea. If he said that Wealth was more beautiful than Poverty, Poverty would curse him. If he said that Poverty was more beautiful than Wealth, Wealth would abandon him. However, he became calm and said, "I have great respect for you both. Would you please do what I ask of you? It is the only way I can judge properly." The Goddesses agreed. He said, "Mother Wealth, would you please walk towards my house? Mother Poverty, Would you please walk away from my house? This way I can see you both better, from near and far." The two Goddesses did what the merchant had asked them to do. Then the merchant confidently declared, "Mother Wealth! You appear most beautiful when you are nearest my house. Mother Poverty! You looktiles on the roofs, many of these houses now have living roofs. The wooden top of the house is covered with a special waterproof plastic material. On top of this there is soil, in which grass and flowers are planted. Such a roof can be very beautiful. But this really is not a new idea. When the early settlers came to the United States, they often made their houses by digging into the ground. Their roofs were made of wood, and covered by large areas of soil with grass or turf. They were warm, though not always waterproof. People replaced these houses and roofs as soon as they could live in regular wooden homes with wooden or metal roofs. Now, 200 years later, some people think of this as a new idea. But I think, "There is nothing new under the sun."1. 1) partly underground 2) living 3 ) digging into the ground 4) grass waterproofQuestions:1. What does the speaker mean by saying "There is nothing new under the sun"?2. What makes the speaker think of "earth-sheltered houses"?3. What is a living roof?4. How many years ago did the early settlers first build earth-sheltered homes?5. Why did People replace these earth-sheltered houses with regular wooden ones?transmit television.Man: Garbage! It was the Italians.Woman: No, it says here, the first TV transmission was in London, 1925. And here we are again, the first traffic lights were in London, in 1868.Man: But they didn't even have cars then, so why would they have needed traffic lights?1．D A A F C E A B B2．1)1762 2)1888/Belgium 3)1890/the United States 4)New York5)1514/Holland 1557 6) 1903 7) 1868Part 4 Listening 1Juan comes up to the Mexican border on his bicycle. He's got two large bags over his shoulders. The guard stops him and says, "What's in the bags?""Sand," answered Juan.The guard says, "We'll just see about that. Get off the bike." The guard takes the two bags and rips them apart; he empties them out and finds nothing in them but sand. He detains Juan overnight and has the sand analyzed, only to discover that there is nothing but pure sand in the bags.The guard releases Juan, puts the sand into new bags, hefts them onto the man'sLater, people learned to mix different clays together to make stronger pottery and to put the pottery in a fire oven so that the clay would harden faster. The potter's wheel was invented in China around 3,100 BC. The wheel spins clay like a top. It allows people to make pottery much more quickly and make shapes that were perfectly symmetrical—bowls that were really round, rather than lumpy or uneven. Pottery is not only considered one of the first inventions but also one of the first art forms. Most types of pottery have been painted with figures or designs; some even tell a story!1. B A C2. 1.The oldest known piece of pottery was found in china and dates back to 7900BC(and was made almost 10,000 years ago).2. It was used for holding water ,milk ,seeds, and grains.3.

Because most types of pottery have been painted with figures or designs; someeven tell a story.Listening IIICathy: Yes, although she didn't like it.So, how did she cope?Michael:Cathy: She got an idea of putting art and candy together.Michael: How?Cathy: First she experimented with making an edible paint. She found that powdered food coloring mixed with vodka would work.Michael: That's quite a combination.Cathy: Then, for her "canvas", she melted white chocolate and molded it flat.She even learned how to make chocolate frames.Michael: What kind of art did she create?Cathy: She copied the works of famous painters. She displayed her candy art in the candy shop and customers would come in just to look at the art.Michael: What did her family think then?Cathy: They didn't take her seriously until the Toledo Museum of Art heard about her works and paid her to paint 77 reproductions of works intheir collection. That was her first big job. Now she works full-timeidea of making his own puppet show. He made a stage from wooden orange boxes and his mother's old curtains. He charged 2 cents for admission and earned 32 cents for his first performance.Spinney's family liked his creativity and encouraged him to do more . For Christmas when he was nine, his older brother made him a better puppet theater and his mother secretly sewed eight colorful puppets for him. Spinney later wrote, "The more I gave shows, the more I felt the power that one has when performing. All these people would sit in a room and listen to everything I said. I did all the character voices: little girl voices, an old lady voice, and a ghost voice. The audience listened and clapped atthe end, and also paid me to do it. What could be a better way to make a living than to perform? I knew that I would wind up in the world of entertainment."Spinney continued giving puppet shows. When he decided to go to art school, puppet shows helped him pay for his tuition. Even when he was in the army, he managed to continue giving puppet shows. He knew he wanted to do this as his life's work and that he wanted his audience to be children. When he was given the opportunity to create the character of Big Bird on "Sesame Street", he accepted it and over the years has made Big Bird one of the most beloved characters on American television.although it's really cold, you can still get a tan. Of course, the scenery is beautiful and it's really nice when you're tired to go and have a hot drink afterwards. The problem is that it's very expensive and really dangerous.

Advertisers trying to sell a product would often turn to baseball stars because the public knew them and loved them. Now looking at today's baseball players, the only time we seem to hear about them is when they are complaining about their salaries. Baseball is no longer the great national pastime, and kids are looking elsewhere for their role models.Back in the 1930s and 1940s, money wasn't such an important issue. Players playedThere was no atmosphere. So we brought in a pool table and fruit machines. When players choose to spend time together, it generates a better atmosphere.The team spirit is very important, but I don't believe in motivating the team as a team.I don’t give team talks. I try to motivate the team as individuals. I speak to the players individually and try not to put too much pressure on anyone. I believe players perform best when they are relaxed. If they're too tense, I can guarantee they won't play well.I also believe in giving people autonomy. I like all the people who work for me to be autonomous. I very rarely interfere. I feel people should be judged on their results. Ifthey prove incompetent, then I'm incompetent if I continue employing them.It's like that with the team. I get criticized for not interfering during a game and for not making more substitutions. But I feel if I've chosen those 11 players to get a result, then I should leave them alone to get on with it.If I'm dropping a player from the team, I don't feel I have to explain it to them. If they want to discuss it, I'll say, "Come back and talk about it in a couple of days' time." But I don't try to remotivate them. It's up to them to have the character to fight their way back to the team. I'm a great believer that almost everything you achieve in life isas an occasion for propaganda. But why should the feelings of a few spoil it for all those who continue to be inspired by the Games?No! As long as the majority wants it, these Games will continue. This is sport, not politics, and it should remain so.1. 1.What is said about the purpose of the Olympic Games? C2.What is said about the spirit of the Olympic Games ? B3.What is said about the influence of the Games ? B2. 1.Criticism. 2. It could be harmfully deployed, as in war.3. The world is like a big family.4. Hostilities.5. The majority of people.6.

I want to win a gold medal for Sweden.Karen: Well, I hope you do. Thank you, Bo Lundquist. Next we have Bob Smith with me in the studio. Bob's a long distance runner and theAmerican 3000 meters champion.Bob: Hi!Karen: Hello, Bob. How is your training going?Bob: Fine, just fine. I have a really good program and I think I'm infirst-class condition.Karen: Tell me about it, Bob.Bob: Well, I don't like training early in the morning. I don't know why. I just don't like it. So I start around 10 o’clock.Karen: Mmm. And what about having lunch?People in tropical countries can read about winter sports but are unable to participate in them. They cannot build snowmen, throw snowballs, toboggan, or ice-skate. Above all, they cannot go skiing.Someone defined skiing as gliding over the ground on two boards. The sport is popular in America in the states which have snow in the winter months. The pleasure we take in this healthy outdoor activity is shared by the Finns, the Russians, the Swedes, the Norwegians, the Germans, the Italians, the Swiss, and the French, who also live in temperate zones with winter climates. But what must people from Egypt, Libya, and Nigeria think of this strange sport?Skiing, unlike tennis and baseball, is not a city sport. Until recently, even in countries with snow, it was limited to mountainous regions. Now there is a new variation that can be enjoyed by everyone.

Reading comprehensions.(30)AThere has been a dramatic increase in the number of natural disasters over the past few years，and it is assumed that global warming and climate change could cause even more disasters in the future. Some of the world's leading cities are facing disasters like floods and heat waves.LondonLondon's flood defences are getting older. Since 1982, the Thames Barrier(水闸)has protected the city from the threat of flooding，but it was only designed to last until 2030 and close once every two or three years. About 21 years later the barrier now closes five or six times a year and according to Environment Agency predictions, by 2050 the barrier will be closed on almost every tide if the problem is not addressed.There are 26 underground stations, 400 schools, 16 hospitals，an airport and 80 billion worth of property in London's flood risk area, so large scale flooding would be disastrous.ParisOver a six-week period in July and August 2008，more than 11400—mainly elderly people—died in France from dehydration (脱水) and extremely high body temperature in a deadly heat wave. Heat waves of similar intensity(强度)are expected every seven years by 2050, so what can be done to make sure such a disaster does not happen again? One solution is to have air-conditioners installed in elderly care homes. But this is considered a short-term solution, as the increase in demand for electricity also increases carbon emissions.In Paris the local authorities are encouraging architects to design new types of buildings such as the building “Flower Tower”，which uses a covering of bamboo to act as a natural air-conditioner.ShanghaiShanghai is the fastest growing city on Earth. It has a population of 18 million and is only 4 meters above sea level. Sea levels are predicted to rise by 20 cm within the next century.An estimated 250,000 people move to Shanghai every year in search of work, placing extra demands on energy consumption. China relies heavily on coal-fired power stations, but these emissions increase temperatures and, in turn, warmer seas increase the risk of typhoons.( )46. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Big Cities Facing Big DisastersB. Big Disasters in the FutureC. The Increase of Natural DisastersD. Solutions to Natural Disasters( )47. What problem should be settled now in London?A. How to protect the city's property.B. Where to build its flood defences.C. How to use the Thames Barrier to protect the city.D. How to improve the function of the old flood defences.( )48. Which of the following measures can't solve the heat wave disaster in Paris?A. Putting up new types of buildings with a covering of bamboo.B. Having air-conditioners installed in elderly care homes.C. Forbidding the city to build “Flower Tower”．D. Encouraging architects to design new types of buildings.( )49. The major threats to Shanghai are ________.A. increasing population and coal-fired power stationsB. rising sea levels and typhoonsC. extremely high temperature and rising sea levelsD. extra demands on energy consumption and typhoons( )50. The purpose of the passage is ________.A. to tell us how to protect the big citiesB. to give advice on how to defend natural disastersC. to explain what causes flood and heat wavesD. to warn us of the increasing natural disasters in big citiesBTim Richter and his wife, Linda, had taught for over 30 years near Buffalo, New York—he in computers, she in special education. “Teaching means everything to us.” Tim would say. In Apr il 1998, he learned he would need a heart operation. It was the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about life's purpose.Not long after the surgery, Tim saw a brochure describing Imagination Library, a program started by Dolly Parton's foundation (基金会) that mailed a book every month to children from birth to age five in the singer's home town of Sevier, Tennessee. “I thought, maybe Linda and I could do something like this when we retire.” Tim recalls. He placed the brochure on his desk, “as a reminder”．Five years later, now retired and with that brochure still on the desk, Tim clicked on . The program had been opened up to partners who could take advantage of book and postage discounts.The quality of the books was of great concern to the Richters. Rather than sign up online, they went to Dollywood for a look­see. “We didn't want to give the children rubbish.” says Linda. The books—reviewed each year by teachers, literacy specialists, and Dollywood board members—included classics such as Ezra Jack Keats's The Snowy Day and newer books like Anna Dewdney's Llama Llama series.Satisfied, the couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and got to work. Since 2004, they have shipped more than 12,200 books to preschoolers in their area. Megan Williams, a mother of four, is more than appreciative：“This program introduces us to books I've never heard of.”The Richters spend about $400 a month sending books to 200 children.“Some people sit there and wait to die.” says Tim. “Others get as busy as they can in the time they have left.”( )51．What led Tim to think seriously about the meaning of life?A. His health problem.B. His love for teaching.C. The influence of his wife.D. The news from the Web.( )52．What did Tim want to do after learning about Imagination Library?A. Give out brochures.B. Do something similar.C. Write books for children.D. Retire from being a teacher.( )53．According to the text, Dolly Parton is ________.A. a well-known surgeonB. a mother of a four-year-oldC. a singer born in TennesseeD. a computer programmer( ) 54.Why did the Richters go to Dollywood?A. To avoid signing up online.B. To meet Dollywood board members.C. To make sure the books were the newest.D. To see if the books were of good quality.( ) 55.What can we learn from Tim's words in the last paragraph?A. He needs more money to help the children.B. He wonders why some people are so busy.C. He tries to save those waiting to die.D. He considers his efforts worthwhile.CIt is understood that a ballad is a song that tells a story, but a folk song is not so easily defined. A balled is a folk song, but a folk song is not a ballad until it tells a story. Folk song, then has included many kinds of music. For example, a sailo r’s song of the sea is a folk song. The blues, a type of jazz popular in New Orleans, may be a folk song. In fact, there are folk songs for every job.“Home on the Range” shows how a popular song may become a folk song. It was first picked up as a folk s ong in 1910 by John Lomax in San Antonio, Texas. Lomax heard the song from an old man who had been a cook many years before. The song was known all over the Midwest; thought it did not come to national attention until the early 1930s. By 1947 “Home on the Range” was so popular that it became the official state song of Kansas.56. A folk song is also a ballad when it___.A. tells a storyB. is sung by workersC. makes the listeners feel sadD. covers many kinds of music57. According to the author, which of the following is not always a folk song?A. A balladB. A sailor’s songC. A state songD. A goatherd’s song.58. According to the passage, which of the following is not true of a folk song?A. It is passed on orallyB. It has different formsC. It may talk about workD. It is found only in the western states59. The author uses the example of “Home on the Range” to show that folk songs ___.A. always tells a storyB. are based on written formsC. may come from popular songsD. have become state songs20. The main topic of the passage is the___ .A. different kinds of folk songsB. development of popular musicC. definition of a balladD. importance of folk songs in American lifeDWe find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed-ability teaching. On the contrary, both their knowledge and experience are enriched. We feel that there are many disadvantages in streaming (把……按能力分班) pupils. 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 child. 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, not 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 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 analyse 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 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 encouragement to attain this goal.60. In the passage the author’s attitude towards “mixed-ability teaching” is ___.A. criticalB. questioningC. approvingD. objective61. By “held back” (Line 1) the author means “___”.A. made to remain in the same classesB. forced to study in the lower classesC. drawn to their studiesD. prevented from advancing62. The author argues that a teacher’s chief concern should be the development of the student’s ___.A. personal qualities and social skillsB. total personalityC. learning ability and communicative skillsD. intellectual ability63. Which of the following is NOT MENTIONED in the third paragraph?A. Group work gives pupils the opportunity to learn to work together with othersB. Pupils also learn to develop their reasoning abilitiesC. Group work provides pupils with the opportunity to learn to be capable organizersD. Pupils also learn how to participate in teaching activities64. The author’s purpose in writing this passage is to___.A. argue for teaching bright and not-so-bright pupils in the same classB. recommend pair work and group work for classroom activitiesC. offer advice on the proper use of the libraryD. emphasize the importance of appropriate formal classroom teachingVI.
