14、art.Each passage is followed by some question or incompletestatements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.You should decide on the best choice andwrite it in the brackets.Passage 1Testing has replaced teaching in most public schools.My own childrens school week is focused on p

15、retests,drills,test,and retests.I believe that my daughter Erica,who gets excellent marks,has never read a chapter of anyof her school textbooks all the way through.And teachers are often heard to state proudly and openly that theyteach to the state test.Teaching to the test is a curious phenomenon.

16、Instead of deciding what skills students ought to learn,helpingstudents learn them,and then using somesensible methods of an assessment to discoverwhether students havemastered the skills,teachers are encouraged to reverse the process.First,one looks at s test.Then one draws theskills needed not to

17、master,say,reading,but to do well on the test.Finally,the test skills are taught.The ability to read or write or calculate might imply the ability to do reasonably well on standard tests.However,neither reading nor writing develops simply through being taught to take tests.We must be careful to avoi

18、dmistaking preparations for a test of a skill for the acquisition ofthat skill.Too many discussions of basic skillsmake this fundamental confusion because people are test-obsessed rather than concerned with the nature andquality of what is taught.Recently many schools have faced with what could be c

19、alled the crisis of comprehension or,in simple terms,thephenomenon of students with grammatical skills till being unable to understand what they read.These students arecompetent at test taking,but they have little or no experience in reading or thinking,and talking about what theyread.They are taugh

20、t to be so concerned with their grades that they have no time or ease of mind to think aboutmeaning,and reread things if necessary.31.The author gives an account of Ericas performance in her study in order to.A.illustrate her cleverness in test taking B.reveal the incompetence of teachers C.show the

21、re is something wrong with current practice in teaching D.demonstrate the best way to read textbooks 32.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.The phenomenon of teaching to the test has around many educators curiosity.B.Skills in general not only are useless but often mislead stud

22、ents.C.The ability to read and write is one thing,and the ability to do well on standardized test is quite another.D.Preparations for a test of a skill does not necessarily mean the acquisition of that skill.33.The author insists that.A.state tests be replaced by some more sensible methods of an ass

23、essment B.teachers pay more attention to the nature and quality of what is taught C.students not be concerned with grades but do more reading and thinking D.radical change be brought about in the general approach to teaching 34.We can safely conclude thatmay cause educational problems.A.test obsessi

24、onB.standardized testsC.test-taking D.preparations for state tests 35.By crisis of comprehension the author means many students.A.are too much concerned with grades B.fail to understand the real goal of education C.lack proper practice in phonic and grammatical drills D.are unable to understand what

25、 they read,though they do reasonably well on standardized tests Passage 2In the earliest stages of mans development,he had no more need of money than animals had.Hewas contentwith very simple forms of shelter,made his own rough tools and weapons and could provide food and clothing forhimself and his

26、 family from natural materials around him.As he became more civilized,however,he began towant better shelter,more efficient tools and weapons,and more comfortable and more lasting clothing than couldbe provided by his own neighborhood or by the work of his own unskilled hands.For these things he had

27、 to turn tothe skilled people such as smiths,leather workers or carpenters who were springing up everywhere.It was thenthat the question of payment arose.At first he got what he wanted by a simple process of an exchange.The smith who did not have the time to lookafter land or cattle was glad to take

28、 meat or grain from the farmer in exchange for an axe or a plough.But as moreand more goods which had no fixed exchange value came on the market,the exchange became too complicated tobe satisfactory.Another problem arose when those who made things wanted to get stocks of wood or leather,oriron,but h

29、ad nothing to offer in exchange until their finished goods were ready.Thus the difficulties of an exchange led to the invention of money by degrees.In some countries,easily handledthings like seeds or shells were given a certain value and the farmer,instead of paying the smith for a new axe bygiving

30、 him some meat or grain,gave him so many shells.If the smith had any shells left when he had bought hisfood,he could get stocks of the rawmaterial of his trade.In some countries quite large things such as cows orcamels or even big flat stones were used for trade.Later,pieces of metal,bearing values

31、according to the rarity ofthe metal and the size of the pieces,or coins,were used.Money,as we know it,had arrived.36.Why were early human beings content with their simple life?A.They did not have to use money.B.They were able to make their own tools.C.They could provide food and clothing and simple

32、shelter for themselves.D.They had enough natural materials around them.37.As human beings became more civilized they.A.all learnt to make by themselves the things they needed B.had to travel a lot to look for what they wanted C.wanted better things than those they themselves could provide D.no longe

33、r provide food and clothing for themselves 38.The exchange of goods became difficult because.A.there was not a marketplace for farmers and smiths to exchange their goods.B.farmers were unwilling to provide smiths with grain and meat C.more and more goods which had no fixed exchange value came to the

34、 market D.skilled workers did not work hard enough to produce good tools and weapons 39.Before people used metal coins they used.A.shells or seeds because they could be easily handled B.camels even though they were large C.flat stones even though they were large D.all of the above 40.Money was not u

35、sed until.A.paper was invented B.people practiced a simple process of the exchange C.nothing could be offered in the exchange D.the exchange of one thing for another became too complicated Passage 3Increasingly,over the past ten years,people especially young people have become aware of the need to c

36、hangetheir eating habits,because much of the food they eat,particularly processed foods,is not good for health.Consequently,these has been a growing interest in natural foods.Natural foods,for example,are vegetable,fruit and grain which have been allowed to feed and move freely inhealthy farms.Compa

37、re this with what happens in the mass production of poultry:there are battery farms,forexample,where thousands of chickens live crowded together in one building and are fed on food which is littlebetter than rubbish.Chickens kept in this way are not only tasteless as food;they also produce eggs whic

38、h lackimportant vitamins.There are other aspects of healthy eating which are now receiving increasing attention from experts on diet.Take,for example,the question of sugar.This is actually a non-essential food.Although a natural alternative,such ashoney,can be used to sweeten food if this is necessa

39、ry,we can in fact do without it.It is not that sugar is harmfulin itself.But it does seem to be addictive:the quantity we use has grown steadily over the last two centuries and inBritain today each person consumes an average of 200 pounds a year!Yet all it does is to provide us with energy,in the fo

40、rm of calories.There are no vitamins in it,no mineral,and no fiber.41.People have become more interested in natural foods because.A.they are more conscious of healthB.they want to taste all kinds of foods C.natural foods are more deliciousD.they want to return to nature 42.Soil that is rich in organ

42、 food which is little better than garbage B.they live in very crowded condition C.the eggs they produce lack vitamins D.they are allowed to move about and eat freely 44.According to the passage,.A.people need sugar to give them energy B.sugar is bad for health C.the use of sugar is harmfully increas

43、ing D.sugar only sweetens,but provides us with nothing useful 45.The best title for this passage is.A.Peoples Growing Interest in Natural Foods B.Natural Foods and a Healthy Diet C.Harmful Effects of Sugar D.The Importance of Fiber in Foods Passage 4The trend towards globalization began in the early

44、 1970s when the system of fixed exchange rates,set up afterWorld War Two,was dismantled.This meant that the value of currencies would now be determined by the marketsinstead of individual governments.Over the next two decades,countries slowly began to remove their exchangecontrols.By 1990,nearly all

45、 the worlds major economies had got rid of restrictions on how much money could bemoved in and out of their countries.Other factors contributing to the rise of globalization are new communications technologies,and bettertransportation systems.These have enabled companies to grow into multinationals-

46、producing goods on one side of the planet and selling them on the other.Lower costs have also helped-the price oftelephone calls,for instance,is cheaper now than at any time in history.But adjusting to this neweconomic orderis proving difficult.In the developed world,and in particular theEuropean Un

47、ion,globalization is facing widespread public resistance.Critics complain that,without the protectionof trade barriers,jobs are being lost to workers in poorer countries,and wages for employees in rich countries arefalling.Opponents of globalization also point to its effects on workers in poorer cou

48、ntries.They agree that multinationalsmay be helping to reduce unemployment in the developing world,but theyargue that the jobs are hardly worthhaving since they are low-paid and exploitative.Those in favor of globalization accuse their critics of being shortsighted protectionists.They claim that a m

49、oreintegrated global economy will ultimately benefit everyone because it will enable countries to specialize in thoseareas where they perform best.Developing countries,with their higher populations and lower wages,willconcentrate on labor-intensive industries,such as raw materials and manufacturing,

50、in much the same way asWestern countries did during the industrial revolution.The richer countries,on the other hand,will diversify intohi-tech industries,where productivity and specialist knowledge are paramount.Few people doubt that the global economy will happen,even though it is still some way o
