We find that bright children are seldom 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(按能力分班) pupils. It does not consider the fact that children develop at different rates. It can have had effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright children. After all, it can be quite discouraging to be the bottom of the top grade. Besides, it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual(智力) ability. This is only one aspect of their total personality. We care much about the development of all the pupils’ abilities to the full, not just their study ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed-ability teaching does good to these aspects of learning. In our classrooms, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups; this gives them the chance to learn to work together, to share, and to develop leadership skills. They also learn how to deal with personal problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to analyze(分析) an devaluate(评价) and to communicate effectively. The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teachers. Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes they work on individual(个人) tasks, and they can do this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this is proper. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this well. An advanced pupil can do advanced work and 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 achieve this goal. 1.By “held back” in the first paragraph, the writer means “________”. A. made to remain in the same class B. forced to study in the lower class C. drawn away form their studies D. prevented from advancing 2.The writer’s purpose of writing this passage is to ________. A. argue for teaching bright and not-so-bright pupils in the same class B. advise pair work and group work for classroom activity C. offer advice on the proper use of the library D. tell us the importance of proper formal classroom teaching 3.What would be the best title for the text? A. Pair work. B. Group work. C. Mixed-ability teaching D. Individual tasks.

Eat, drink and be merry. That’s what Spring Festival is all about. But there are millions of people, too, who love to let happiness go up in smoke. Offering cigarettes to guests is a traditional Chinese way of showing respect to them. A cup of tea and cigarettes are perhaps the most common way of welcoming a guest in China, especially during festive occasions. No wonder, 40 percent of the people surveyed(调查) recently said they would smoke at least twice the usual number of cigarettes during the Spring Festival because of all those gatherings and parties. Only 20 percent of the respondents said they would refuse a cigarette when offered one. Why can’t the others do the same? Because they could be seen as being rude, said more than half in the respondents. 15 percent feared they could be taken as “someone who cannot get along well with others”. The Think-tank Research Centre for Health Development and sohu. com survey shows 61 percent Chinese think offering a cigarette is useful for socialising, and 52 percent have offered cigarettes to others. The study surveyed 3,800 people, and 64 percent of them were men. One-third of those surveyed were smokers, out of which 57 percent said they couldn’t give up smoking because of the offering-and-accepting culture. “People have accepted offering cigarettes as an effective way of making friends,” research centre director Wu Yiqun says. China has more than 350 million smokers, catering to the tobacco market that is worth 500 billion yuan. “The survey shows we still have a lot of work to do,” Wu says. “It is time to let people know that offering a cigarette is a bad habit and it should be given up immediately.” 1.The passage is written with the purpose of ________. A. telling us a custom about the Chinese Spring Festival B. introducing a way to make friends with Chinese C. stopping smoking during the Chinese Spring Festival D. telling us that offering cigarettes is a bad habit 2.The third paragraph mainly tells us ________. A. the fact that smokers are greatly increasing during the festival B. the reason why refusing cigarettes is acceptable C. the fact that many people have to smoke more cigarettes during the festival D. it is rude to attend parties without smoking cigarettes 3.Which of the following may NOT be the reason that makes many people fail to refuse the offered cigarettes? A. It’s impolite to refuse. B. Smoking is harmful for non-smokers. C. They want to be friendly D. It’s a kind of social habit. 4.The writer mentions the 500 billion yuan tobacco market because ________. A. the tobacco market is not developing smoothly B. the writer thinks that smoking wastes a lot of money C. smoking is helpful to the tobacco market D. the tobacco market attracts too many smokers

Recently some American scientists have given a useful sincere piece of advice to people in industrialized nations that they would be much healthier if they ate more of the same kind of food eaten by humans living more than 10,000 years ago. The scientists say that the human body has changed very little since humans first appeared on the earth, but the way we live has changed greatly. Our body has not been able to deal with these changes in life style and this has led to new kinds of sicknesses. These new sicknesses were not known in ancient times, so they are called “diseases of civilization”. Many cancers and diseases of the blood system, including heart attacks and strokes ( 中风 ) are examples of such diseases. Scientists noted that people in both the Old Stone Age and the New Stone Age enjoyed very little alcohol or tobacco, probably none. Ancient people also got a great deal of physical exercise, but a change in food is one of the main differences between life in ancient times and that of today. Stone-age people hunted wild animals for their meat, which had much less fat than domestic or tame ones ( 家畜 ). They also ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables and fruits. They didn’t have milk or any other dairy products, and they made very little use of grains. But today, we eat a large amount of these. We eat six times more salt than our remote ancestors. We eat more sugar. We eat twice as much fat but only one third as much protein and much less vitamin C. People today probably do not want to live the way people thousands of years ago did, but scientists say that we would be much healthier if we ate much the same way as remote ancestors did, cutting the amount of fatty, salty and sweet food. 1.What is the main cause that people suffer from a lot of new sicknesses? A. Ancient people did a great deal of physical exercise. B. People today have a lot of alcohol. C. People today have more tobacco. D. Food today is quite different from that of ancient times. 2.Which of the following belongs to the dairy products? A. Milk B. Corn C. Pork D. Flour 3.New kinds of sicknesses have been found because ________. A. the human body has changed compared with humans who first appeared on the earth B. the way we live has changed a little C. our body can’t deal with the changes in life style D. the way we live today is proper for the human body 4.According to some scientists, Stone-age people were much healthier than people today because they ate a lot of ________. A. milk and other dairy products B. salt and sugar C. wild animals, fresh wild vegetables and fruits D. grain foods
