The announcement comes as a campaign is launched to raise adult maths skills. A survey of 300 adults for the numeracy campaign found that over a third thought their level of maths had held them back. An accompanying economic analysis said that a lack of maths skills cost the UK 20 billion pounds per year.The plan to bring 60 English-speaking maths teachers from Shanghai is an attempt to learn from a city that has been the top performance in the OECD's Pisa tests.The OECD says that children of poor families in Shanghai are on average better at maths than middle class children in the UK. The Shanghai teachers, expected to arrive from the autumn, will help share their teaching methods, support pupils who are struggling and help to train other teachers.“We have some smart maths teachers in this country but what I saw in Shanghai-and other Chinese cities-has only strengthened my belief that we can learn from them.” said education minister, Elizabeth Truss, who has recently visited Shanghai, accompanied by head teachers from England, “They have a can-do attitude to maths-and I want us to match that, and their performance,” She stressed the economic significance of raising maths standards, for individuals and the country. As part of our long term economic plan, we are determined to drive up standards in our schools and give our young people the skills they need to succeed in the global race.Good maths qualifications have the greatest earning potential and provide the strongest protection against unemployment,” said the education minister.24.

Their students are from poor families.B. Their students have a talent for maths.C. They have a positive attitude to teaching.D. They teach in a highly developed city.26. According to Elizabeth Truss, raising maths standards can be helpful in_____.A. equipping young people with global competitivenessB. promoting the pupils’ international test performanceC. teaching how to earn money in the global marketD. discovering one’s maths talent at an early age27. What can be the best title for the passage?A. Good Maths Skills Are about Hard WorkB. Why Are English Maths Standards Left Behind?C. Why Are Shanghai Maths Teachers Getting Popular?D. Chinese Teachers Bring the Art of Maths to English SchoolsCGetting rid of dirt(灰尘), in the opinion of most people, is a good thing. However, there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a way to block out disease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let illnesses in. A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538, the French king bad closed the bath houses in his kingdom. So did the king of England in 1546. Thus it began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV, King of France, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out.Though the belief in the merit of dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century. Scientically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War ll. Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea: clothes need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has the hate for dirt, however, gone too far?Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many first-time parents nervously try to warm their children of touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease. On the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an American immunologist(免疫学家), encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system. And the latter position is gaining some ground.28. The kings of France and England in the 16th century closed bath houses because________.A. they lived healthily in a dirty environmentB. they thought bath houses were too dirty to stay inC. they believed disease could be spread in public bathsD. they considered bathing as the cause of skin disease29. Which of the following best describes Henry IV's attitude to bathing?A. Approving.B. Afraid.C. Curious.D. Uninterested.30. How does the passage mainly develop?A. By providing examples.B. By following the order of importance.C. By making comparisons.D. By following the order of time.31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?A. To present the change of views on dirt.B. To stress the role of dirt.C. To call attention to the danger of dirt.D. To introduce the history of dirt.DIf you want to get something done, you might want to put your mobile phone back in your pocket. Researchers have found that the mere presence of a phone is distracting (分心) —even if it is not your own. And the devices (设备) are likely to distract you, even if they are not ringing or “pinging” with text messages. People asked to carry out electronic tests of their attention spans were found to perform worse when a mobile phone was present than other people performing in the presence of a paper notepad.Scientists from Hokkaido University in Japan said that their findings show that it is harder to concentrate when one of the electronic devices is present. The effect was most marked on people who are not regular users of phones. In tests on 40 undergraduates. Associate Professor Junichiro Kawahara and a colleague divided the subjects into two groups —one asked to carry out tests in the presence of an Apple iPhone next to a computer monitor, and the other in the presence of a notebook.The test involved asking the participant to search for a particular character among a mess of other characters on the screen. Researchers measured the time it took to find the target. The results of the experiment found that those with the mobile phone took longer to find the character, indicating that participants were automatically distracted by the presence of the phone. The researchers suggest that people are drawn to the presence of a mobile phone, although there are individual differences in how one attempts to ignore it. In conclusion. Professor Kawahara said. “The mere presence of a mobile phone was a distraction among infrequ ent internet users.”Another finding is that listening to one half of a mobile phone conversation also distracts people, and other studies have found that placing a mobile phone in view has a negative impact on the quality of face-to-face communications. Holding a mobile phone makes you less likely to get a fair hearing from others.32. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. A mobile phone won’t distract people unless it’s ringing.B. People find it hard to concentrate if their phones are present.C. Text messages distract people even if phones are power off.D. A paper notepad can help people record much information.33. Who will be affected most according to the findings?A. People irregularly using phones.B. People regularly using phones.C. People usually using notepads.D. People always using computers.34. In a face-to-face communication, what is the effect of putting a mobile phone in sight?A. It makes listeners feel much awkward.B. It causes other people to lose respect for you.C. It reduces people’s attention to what they are listening to.D. It makes the air of the conversation more pleasant.35. What can we learn from the text?A. People perform worse with a mobile phone at hand.B. Mobile phones do a lot of damage to people’s health.C. People working with mobile phones will do very well.D. Phones should be banned in all schools and universities.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
