Passage One 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 to develop their 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. 21.In the passage the writer's attitude towards "mixed-ability teaching" is ( ).

A. critical B. questioning C. approving D. objective 22.By "held back" the writer means"( )". A.made to remain in the same classes B.forced to study in the lower classes C.drawn to their studies D.prevented from advancing 23. 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 24.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. 25.The writer's purpose in writing this passage is to ( ). A.argue for teaching bright and not-so-bright pupils in the same class B.recommend pair work and group work for classroom activities C.offer advice on the proper use of the library D.emphasize the importance of appropriate formal classroom teaching Passage Two

There was a time in my life when beauty meant something special to me.I guess that would have been when I was about six or seven years old, just several weeks or maybe a month before the orphanage（孤儿院）turned me into an old man. I would get up every morning at the orphanage, make my bed just like the little soldier that I had become and then I would get into one of the two straight lines and march to breakfast with the other twenty or thirty boys who also lived in my dormitory. After breakfast one Saturday morning I returned to the dormitory and saw the house parent chasing the beautiful monarch butterflies who lived by the hundreds in the bushes scattered around the orphanage. I carefully watched as he caught these beautiful creatures, one after another, and then took thegn from the net and then stuck straight pins through their head and wings, pinning them onto a heavy cardboard sheet. How cruel it was to kill something of such beauty.I had walked many times out into the bushes, all by myself, just so the butterflies could land on my head, face and hands so I could look at them up close. When the telephone rang the house parent laid the large cardboard paper down on the back cement(水泥) step and went inside to answer the phone.I walked up to the cardboard and looked at the one butterfly who he had just pinned to the large paper. It was still moving about so I reached down and touched it on the wing causing one of the pins to fall out.It started flying around and around trying to get away but it was still pinned by the one wing with the other straight pin.Finally its wing broke off and the butterfly fell to the ground and just trembled. I picked up the torn wing and the butterfly and I spat on its wing and tried to get it to stick back on so it could fly away and be free before the house parent came back.But it would not stay on him. 26.The author set the living butterfly free because ( ). A.he liked it very much B.he had sympathy for the beautiful butterfly C.he couldn't bear a butterfly dying in his favorite bushes D.its wing broke off 27.According to the passage, the author's life in the orphanage was ( ). A.dull and full of strict rules B.simple and easy

C.happy and full of hope D.hard and busy 28. What is the author's attitude towards the house parent's pinning some butterflies on the cardboard? A. tolerant B. unconcerned C. disgusted D. discouraged 29.We know from the passage that ( ). A.the author lived alone in the dormitory B.there were one hundred butterflies living in the bushes C.the cardboard paper was left on the step so as to be watched D.the author failed to stick the worn wing onto the butterfly with his spit 30.Which of the following is right according to the passage? A.I found beauty meant nothing special to me. B.The house parent helped the children handle the quilt. C.The house parent chased the butterfly in order to show it to the children. D.I thought it cruel to catch the butterfly. Passage Three What exactly is a lie? Is it anything we say which we know is untrue? Or is it something more than that? For example, suppose a friend wants to borrow some money from you, you say "I wish I could help you but I'm short of money myself." In fact, you are not short of money but your friend is in the habit of not paying his debts and you don't want to hurt his feeling by reminding him of this.Is this really a lie? Professor Jerald Jellison of the University of Southern California has made a scientific study of lying. According to him, women are better liars than men, particularly when telling a "white lie".For instance, when a woman at a party tells another woman that she likes her dress, she really thinks it looks awful.
