We 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 cooperate to share, and the develop leadership skills. They also learn how to cope with personal problems as well as learning 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; 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.
59. In the passage the writer’s attitude towards “mixed-ability teaching”is ________.
A. critical. B. questioning. C. approving. D. objective(客观的).
60. By “held back”the writer means “________.”

C. drawn to their studies. D. prevented from advancing.
61. The writer argues that a teacher’s chief concern should be the development of the student’s_.
A. personal qualities and social skills. B. total personality.
C. learning ability and communicative skills. D. intellectual ability.
62. Which of the following is not mentioned in the third paragraph?
A. Group work gives pupils the opportunity to learn to work together with others.
B. Pupils also learn to develop their reasoning abilities.
C. Group work provides pupils with the opportunity to learn to be capable organizers.
D. Pupils also learn how to participate in teaching activities.
63. The writer’s purpose in writing this passage is to _______.

MIANYANG - At a corner of the city's Jiuzhou Stadium, one of the biggest camps set up for those left homeless in the earthquake, 62-year-old Liu Yaorong was leaning against a window on Thursday.
Pointing to a quilt and clothes he received from the local government, he said: "These are all I have. My home collapsed in the quake, and everything in the town was flooded."
He used to live in Xuanping town of Beichuan county which was destroyed by the quake. Adding to his misery, rivers blocked by landslides (山崩) led to flooding in the town.
But Liu said he was lucky because he was healthy, otherwise he would not have the energy to walk 10 hours on damaged and dangerous mountainous roads to escape the flood on Monday. He said the trip used to take him about 90 minutes when the roads were in good condition.
“The journey was difficult and "rocks kept falling," he said, showing injured legs and black, split toenails.
Liu said his three sons were working in eastern cities as migrant workers.
"I've been living alone in the mountains for more than 20 years. My wife died 30 years ago," he said in a low voice.
During his journey to Mianyang, Liu said he saw many elderly people who chose to stay.
"Soldiers were persuading them to leave for fear of floods," he said.
Talking about his home before the quake struck, Liu's mood lifted. "I raised pigs and chickens, and grew vegetables. I could have rice, meat and greens almost every day," he said.
"But now, I have only biscuits and instant noodles."
Liu said one of his sons returned home from Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province, after the quake, but left because the father refused to go with him.
"I don't want to leave home. And I know it is difficult for them out there. How could I add to their burden?" he asked, his eyes red.
"I still want to go back to my home. Given a small piece of land, I could live by myself."
It is learnt that resettlement plans for displaced people have not been finalized.
However, not every elderly person is as strong-willed as Liu.
Psychologists said the elderly need as much comfort as children. Lu Jianguo, a psychologist from Chengdu Medical College, said "We will first let them cry and tell their stories, and then help them regain confidence."
64. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Liu Yaorong spent 8.5 hours more than usual covering the roads in escaping the flood.
B. The flood was followed by an earthquake in Xuanping in the same day.
C. Liu Yaorong was in time to escape the quake without being hurt.
D. Being healthy, Liu Yaorong was the only old man to escape the flood.
65. The underlined word “misery” in the third paragraph most probably means “______”.
A. happiness B. fortune C. puzzle D. suffering
66. What’s Liu Yaorong’s attitude towards self-relief after the earthquake?
A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Aggressive. D. Dependent.
67. What would be the best title for the news report?
A. Elderly react more quickly to flood disaster
B. Elderly try hard to deal with quake disaster
C. Elderly prefer to stay at their own home
D. Elderly are well cared for by government

Research has shown that your talent for happiness is, to a large degree, determined by your genes. And yet, scientists who study happiness believe we can achieve happiness.
1. Don’t Worry:Choose to Be Happy
The most important step, however, is to make a choice to gain your happiness. In his book, The Achievement of Happiness, Bertrand Russell said, “Happiness must be an achievement rather than a gift of the gods, and in this achievement, effort, both inward and outward, must play a great part. ”
Once you’ve decided to be happier, you can choose some good ways to gain happiness.
2. To Be Thankful
In his book, Real Happiness, professor Martin Seligman encourages readers to perform a daily“gratitude(感恩)exercise”. This helps people keep away from sorrow and despair(绝望), he says, and makes people happier.
3. Remember:Money Can’t Buy Happiness
Research shows that having more money than you actually need brings very little extra happiness. “Part of the reason is that people aren’t very good at understanding what to do with the money, ”says George Loewenstein, an economist at Carnegie Mellon University.
4. Take Part in Meaningful Activities
People are seldom happier, says professor Michael, than when they’re in the “flow”. Yet he has found that the most common leisure (空闲) time activity—watching TV--produces some of the lowest levels of happiness. To get more Out of life, we need to put more into it. “Active leisure that helps a person grow does not come easily, ”he writes in Finding Flow.
So it turns out that happiness can be a matter of choice—not just luck. Some people are lucky enough to have genes that produce happiness. However, certain thought patterns and interpersonal(人际交往的)skills surely help people become “expert in experience”, says David Lynken.
68. The passage mainly tells us .
A. why some people are born happy
B. the importance of being engaged in good activities
C. some useful ways to achieve happiness
D. some new discoveries related to happiness
69. According to the passage, which of the following is the key to gaining happiness?
A. To earn more money. B. To have some good genes.
C. To change one’s attitude. D. To watch less TV.
70. According to Martin Seligman, we know that .
A. it is necessary to experience sadness if you want to be happy
B. we need to put more into1ife if we want to get more out of it
C. being thankful can help us get rid of our sadness and get happier
D. we must work hard if we want to gain more happiness
71. After reading the passage, we would know that .
A. researchers hardly make mistakes
B. everyone can be happy if he chooses to be happy
C. our genes determine if we are happy
D. the author must be a famous doctor himself
E
We believe that there is more to education than preparation for a job. Children must be prepared for all aspects of their adult life; work, leisure, personal relationships, creative activities, dealing with money matters, independence, etc.
However, it would be unrealistic to provide an education which didn’t consider the needs of employers.
What type of training does the business world regard as important?
Many young people applying for jobs were, in the employers’ opinions, very weak in the basic skills of handwriting, grammar and spelling. Though additional education at university level improved the student’s general ability, a report states, “In basic skills the standards remained stubbornly (顽固) low.”
It is doubtful whether standards have decreased in recent years. What is certain is that employers do not believe the standard is now high enough. Do technological changes make greater demands upon the students’ abilities?
We should also remember that the job expectations of young people have increased. The girls who would have once become shop assistants or hairdressers now want to be secretaries. Boys who sought an apprenticeship (学徒) 20 years ago now desire an engineering degree. But it is still the same girls and boys with the same degree of ability. No wonder there are problems in reaching the “necessary standards” of the business world.
Many employers believe that it is important for teachers to have experience outside the world of college and school. They should work for a while at some other kind of job “to see how the world of business and commerce differs from their own.” The teaching professor and society in general need a greater understanding of manpower needs and therefore of “desired” direction of the education system.
72.The article mainly talks about _________.
A.no education among young people
B.meeting the educational requirements of employment
C.the problem of unemployment
D.the weaker standards of education
73.In the writer’s opinion, education should _________.
A.pay more attention to students’ academic (学术的) ability
B.only meet the needs of employment
C.be suitable to all aspects of being an adult, including employment
D.focus on grammar
74.“The same girls and boys” in Para. 6 refer to _________.
A.those who are likely to be unemployed
B.those who have just left middle school
C.those who are looking for jobs far beyond their abilities
D.those who might have done work with basic skills in the past
75.This passage most probably appears in _________.
A.a story book B.an advertisement of jobs
C.a news report D.an educational magazine
