On the contrary, both their knowledge and experience are enriched. We feel that there are many disadvan tages 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 sobright 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 mixedability 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 peronal problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to analyse 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. 56. In the passage the writers attitude towards “mixed-ability teaching”is _. A. criticalB. questioning C. approvingD. objective（客观的） 57. 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 58. The writer argues that a teachers chief concern should be the development of the students _. A. personal qualities and social skills B. total personality C. learning ability and communicative skills. D. intellectual ability 59. 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. 60. The writers purpose in writing this passage is to _. A. argue for teaching bright and not-so-bright pupils in the same class. B. recommend（推荐）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 B Beatrice Were attended a school in Kampala, Uganda, and married a bank official. He left her. Everything might have been fine had he stayed away, but he returned and infected her with HIV. He died of AIDS in 1990 while she was taking the final exams for a degree in social work, leaving her with two children. Her husbands brother, according to the custom of the place, was allowed to take her as a wife. “I saved that boys life, ”30yearold Were says now, I stood up and said, “Im HIVpositive. ”Were says the family disowned her. Thanks to the aid by an international organization, Were is now taking the “triple cocktail”that promises to extend the lives of the infected by several years. The drugs cost upwards of $ 15,000 a year. But for the help of the organization, Were would never be able to afford it, for one days medicine costs much more than what the government spends on each citizens health care in a year. Her pills are always with her in a silver box, but she admits that she often cut back her doses to avoid the weight gain that often occurs as a side effeet, ever though taking the drugs improperly will make them less effective. 61. Beatrice Weres husband returned home _. A. to remarry her B. to make everything fine with the family C. only to cause his wifes sudden disease D. and became a bank official 62. The fact that Beatrice told the family that she was HIV -positive shows that _.

The government of Uganda _. A. couldnt afford to pay for the “triple cocktail”for Beatrice B. promises to extend Beatrices life by several years C. thanks an international organization for their help to save Beatrice D. spends less than $ 40 on each citizens health care each year 64. We can infer from the passage that _. A. the “triple cocktail”can prevent AIDS from spreading B. Beatrice Were pays much attention to cutting a good figure （体形） C. the government of Uganda spent a lot on its citizens health care D. AIDS can sometimes be cured C Magic is believed to have begun with the Egyptians, in 1700 BC. A magician named Dedi of Dedsnefu was reported to have performed for the pharaoh, or the king. He was also known to have entertained the slaves who built the pyramids. The “Cups and Balls”trick which he was particularly good at is still performed by magicians all over the world today. The ancient Greeks and Romans were also fascinated （attracted）by the idea of magic. Actually, one of their main interests was the art of deception. This explains why at that time the priests（神父）even built magic devices into their temples. These devices made it possible for doors to open by themselves and wine to flow magically out of statues mouths. This was done mainly to convince（使信服）people that the priests were powerful. Magic, however, was not well accepted before the 1800s. Magicians were thought of as freaks and were only allowed to perform in a circus. It was in the 19th century that the magician Robert Houdin came along and changed peoples views and attitudes about magic. It was also because of Robert Houdin that many magicians were able to add Dr. or MD to their names. Today magicians try hard to find new ways to show their practiced skills. Magic is now entertainment for families all over the world. 65. What is the best title for the passage? A. Magical Tricks B. A Great Magician C. Magic as Entertainment D. The History of Magic 66. In ancient Greece, what did the priests do to show people they had unusual power? A. They performed magical tricks to entertain people. B. They made the statues in the temples drink wine as they wished. C. They treated the people with wine flowing down from statues mouths. D. They built magic devices in the temples to make doors open by themselves. 67. What did people think of magic before 1800? A. Magic should be used only in temples. B. Magic could only be performed in a circus. C. Magic was performed by freaks and doctors. D. Magic was the major daily activity for the pharaohs. 68. Which of the following statements is true? A. Magic began about 3,700 years ago. B. Dedi of Dedsnefu Performed magic for kings only. C. Robert Houdin was the first magician to perform magic. D. The “Cups and Balls”trick has been performed for about 1,700 years. D The Gabon Viper is a snake that grows to two metres in length. It is black all over and as thick as a strong mans arm. When angry, it barks like a dog and spits poison. It is one of natures most dangerous gifts to the world. Most people would prefer nature to keep gifts like that to itself. Others think differently. They think that Gabon Vipers, along with other poisonous snakes, spiders and reptiles are perfect animal friends for their children. They believe that the neighbors will be envied if they keep a lion in the backyard. And they believe that no home is complete without a monkey or a parrot in a cage. That is why the trade in unusual pets is now worth over US $ 10 billion per year in spite of being illegal in most countries. The serious effect of the trade is the damage it does to the natural environment. Hunters catch young parrots by cutting down the trees which the birds use to make nests in. Baby monkeys always stay close to their mothers. So the hunters simply shoot the mothers. These facts are now well known, but the trade continues. It seems that the strong desire to keep pets has deep roots in the human mind. Some psychologists（心理学家）say that it is a way for people to get closer to nature. People keep cats and dogs as a kind of historical echo（仿效）of the days when dogs were used to control sheep and cats were kept in the home to hunt mice and rats. As technology moves society further away from the natural worl
