    阅读理解

    　　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 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 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．

    We are always told that TV is not good for us. If it is true, how come the TV-addicted kids of our young generation nowadays are much smarter than we are? In my family, the only persons who can work the TV remote control well are the children.

    Probably TV really educates us. For example, we can learn a very useful medical fact: A man that has been shot always has time to speak a broken sentence when he is dying. “The killer was…” (dies)

    But I suppose the biggest things that we learn from TV can be regarded as “Life Skills”. Bad things simply happen on either stormy or dark nights. Emotional breakdowns make people wander in the heavy rain without raincoats or umbrellas. And contrary to the scientists, the crack of lightning and the accompanying flash come on at exactly the same time, wherever the scenes are.

    I’ve even got to know useful geographical facts from science-fiction shows: Aliens only speak the language of English no matter which planet they come from.

    To make good use of something that we learn from TV can make our security better. Consider these truths. When you are really attacked by 20 bad guys, you needn’t worry about your being outnumbered. The criminals will hang back and take turns to approach you in ones and twos just so you can conveniently defeat them all. Bad guys who are completely covered in black clothes always remove their black masks to reveal that they are in fact, aha, women.

    TV often teaches us a lot of important information as well about escaping from danger. Watch and learn. (1) If anyone is running after you down a passage, you will find that boxes have been conveniently placed near all the walls you need to jump over. (2) If you are tall and handsome, you can run from any number of armed criminals, and every shot will miss you.

    Be warned, however, if your name card says “henchman” (帮凶) and you are part of a group of plain-looking people trying to catch a handsome individual, a single shot will kill you. But don’t be anxious: TV also delivers useful information for bad guys. All cars are inflammable (易燃的) and have amazing shock absorbers that enable them to fly into the air and land without damage — except police cars.

    TV even teaches us about TV. Whenever anyone turns on a TV, it shows a news flash about someone they know. They then turn the box off immediately after that news item.

    1. When the writer says “A man that has been shot always has time to speak a broken sentence when he is dying” (Paragraph 2), he shows his________.

    A. humor            B. sympathy          C. deep concern        D. medical knowledge

    2. We can learn from Paragraph 3 that in the real world________.

    A. bad things cause people to break down in the rain

    B. bad things never happen on dark and stormy nights

    C. people with emotional problems like to walk in the rain without umbrellas

    D. you can’t hear the crack of lightning and see the accompanying flash exactly at the same time

    3. On TV what usually happens when a person turns it on?

    A. The program shown is always about the importance of TV.

    B. The person always turns off the TV when it’s time for news.

    C. The news shown is always about someone the person knows.

    D. TV always shows news about famous people.

    4. What’s the main idea of this passage?

    A. Life skills can be learned from TV.

    B. What happens in TV is quite different from reality.

    C. Watching TV makes people more creative.

    D. TV plays an important role in society.

    5. The writer of this passage takes a(n) ________ attitude towards TV plays.

    A. positive         B. casual          C. negative           D. indifferent

    Section B

    　　There are two types of people in the world．Although they have equal degrees of health and wealth and the other comforts of life, one becomes happy, the other becomes unhappy．This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, and events, and the resulting effects upon their minds．

    　　The people who are to be happy fix their attention on the conveniences of things, the pleasant parts of conversation, the well-prepared dishes, the goodness of the wines, and the fine weather．They enjoy all the cheerful and positive things．They are in good spirits all the time．People like to make friends with them and are happy when they are successful．It can make you popular among your classmates and strengthen the relationship with others．

    　　Those who are to be unhappy always think and speak the negative things．So they are continually discontented．Those people tend to criticize and offend others, which makes themselves disagreeable everywhere．No one loves them and treats them as their friends．No one shows respect to them, either．They should change this bad habit, or they would not live a happier life．

    　　While the threat of a reappearance of SARS is still there, it is reassuring to learn about the latest developments in vaccine research．

    　　More than 1,400 vaccine shots for SARS have been produced in China, and an application for clinical tests has been referred to the State Food and Drug Administration(SFDA), according to a Xinhua report on Sunday．

    　　“If everything goes smoothly, conducting of clinical experiments will be agreed before the end of December,”said Ying Hongzhang, head of Biological Product Section of the SFDA．

    　　So far, China is far ahead of other countries in the search for a SARS vaccine, claimed Yin．At that time, volunteers will be sought in Beijing and Guangzhou to take part in experiments using the new vaccine．However, while cheering for the research breakthrough, voices of reason should also be heard．

    　　What medical workers should always maintain is a cool head and careful attitude, which are essential in any scientific research．This is especially true when conducting experiments on human beings, because they are directly concerned with the volunteers’ health and even their lives, and also because knowledge of the deadly virus(病毒)still too limited．

    　　Media reports indicate that members of the public are reacting actively to the news of selecting volunteers and are expressing their readiness．Their courage is well worth our admiration．The trust they are placing in these medical researchers is the biggest support of their work．

    　　The researchers have no other choice but to be highly cautious in the expected experiments．The safety of volunteers should always be the first consideration．Scientists from different countries have been put in a race in uncovering the mystery surrounding the virus．But to play a leading role should by no means be the ultimate pursuit(最终目的)of the scientific workers．It is people’s safety and health that remain the biggest concerns．

    　　While there are still so many mysteries to be solved, it is too early to celebrate．

    阅读理解。
         In so many ways, cyberspace (网络空间) mirrors (反映) the real world. People ask for information,
    play games, and share hobby tips. Others buy and sell products. Still others look for friendship, or even
    love.
         Unlike the real world, however, your knowledge about a person is limited to words on a computer
    screen. Identity (身份) and appearance mean very little in cyberspace. Rather, a person's thoughts or at
    least the thoughts they type are what really counts. So even the shyest person can become a chat-room
    star.
         Usually, this "faceless" communication doesn't create problems. Identity doesn't really matter when
    you are in a chat-room discussing politics or hobbies. In fact, this emphasis (重视) on the idea themselves makes the Internet a great place for exciting conversation. Where else can so many people come together
    to chat?
         Some Internet users want more than just someone to chat with. They are looking for serious love
    relationships. Is cyberspace a good place to find love? That answer depends on whom you ask. Some of
    these relationships actually succeed. Others end in tears. Supporters of online relationships claim that the
    Internet allows couples to know how intelligent they are first. Personal appearance doesn't get in the way.
          But critics (批评者) of online relationships argue that no one can truly know another person in
    cyberspace. Why? Because the Internet gives users a lot of control over how others view them. Internet
    users can carefully choose their words to fit whatever image they want to give. And they don't have to
    worry about what their non-verbal communication is doing for their image. In a sense, they're not really
    themselves. All of this may be fine if the relationship stays in cyberspace. But not knowing a person is a
    big problem in a love relationship. With so many unknowns, it's easy to let one's imagination "fall in the
    blanks". This surely leads to disappointment when couples meet in person. How someone imagines an
    online friend is often quite different from the real person.
         So before looking for love in cyberspace, remember the advice of Internet pioneer Clifford Stoll,
    "Life in the real world is far richer than anything you'll find on a computer screen."
    1. Which would the critics of online relationships most probably DISAGREE to?
    A. Nobody can truly know another person in cyberspace.
    B. Internet users can choose words to create any image they like.
    C. The Internet allows couples to know how intelligent they are.
    D. In a sense, Internet users are not really themselves.
    2. Even the shyest person can become a chat-room star because what's really important is
        a person's ________.
    A. non-verbal communication            
    B. thoughts typed on the screen
    C. knowledge and appearance            
    D. identity shown in the chat
    3. The underlined word "This" (Paragraph 5) refers to_______.
    A. imagining online friends with so many unknowns.
    B. forming personal relationship in cyberspace.
    C. having exciting conversations online.
    D. knowing a person in a love relationship.
    4. What's the writer's attitude towards finding love in cyberspace?
    A. Positive
    B. Disinterested
    C. Interested
    D. Negative
