feb. 18，2014 （xinhua news agency） britain will send experts to east chinas shanghai to learn from the citys experience in maths teaching in an attempt to raise the teaching standards.british education minister elizabeth truss is to lead a delegation of experts on a fact-finding mission to shanghais schools next week to see how children there have become the best in the world at maths, to get a first-hand look at maths classes and teaching methods there, and particularly to investigate why the performance of almost all children in shanghai is high, regardless of gender or income. britain was last year placed 50th out of 148 countries and regions in the world economic forums competitiveness ranking in quality of maths and science education. two years ago, shanghai topped the 2012 international pisa tables for maths, while england was ranked in 26th place. the top five were all in southeast asia, with 15-year-olds in shanghai judged to be three years ahead of their peers in maths.the education department said: englands performance in maths has lagged behind while other countries have improved and overtaken us, including poland and germany. actually, it is the latest step in the governments drive to raise standards in maths, looking at what has made schools in the far east the most successful in the world in teaching the subject.shanghai is the top-performing part of the world for mathstheir children are streets ahead. shanghai and singapore have teaching practices and a positive mind that make the difference. they have a belief that diligence makes up for lack of ability, truss said. our new curriculum has borrowed from theirs because we know it worksearly learning of key arithmetic, and a focus on times tables and long division（长除法）, for instance. she was determined to change the situation as performance in maths is weakening the countrys skills base and threatening the productivity and growth. the government is emphasizing maths because of the importance of good grades in the subject to young people competing for good jobs in a global labor market and to the economy more generally.an education and skills survey released by the confederation of british industry last year showed that 30 percent of employers reported dissatisfaction with the standard of school and college leavers numeracy. more than two-thirds of employers said they wanted both maths and science promoted more in schools.28. why does the british government send a delegation of experts to shanghai?a. to see how children from rich families have become the best at maths.b. to investigate why the performance of almost all children in china is high.c. to get a first-hand look at science classes and teaching methods there.d. to raise the teaching standards in maths in britain.29. what has made schools in shanghai the most successful in teaching maths in the eye of truss? a. curriculum and teaching methods. b. teaching practices and a positive mind.c. early learning of key arithmetic and times tables. d. a focus on times tables and long division.30. how will students poor performance in maths affect the country eventually?a. by threatening the countrys competitiveness of economy.b. by weakening the countrys political system.c. by losing international competitions in education.d. by failing to find jobs in a global labor market.dwhen something goes wrong，it can be very satisfying to say, “well, its so-and-sos fault.” or “i know im late，but its not my fault；the car broke down.” it is probably not your fault，but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation，you are a loser. you have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. however, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. this is the winners key to success. winners are great at overcoming problems. for example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. for another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. ask to work with a different person, or dont rely on the person. you should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well. this is what being a winner is all aboutcreatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. winners dont have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. they are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. so, stop focusing on “whose fault it is.” once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stop on for success.31. according to the passage, winners . a. have responsible and able colleagues b. meet with fewer difficulties in their lives c. deal with problems rather than blame others d. blame themselves rather than others32. the underlined word “remedy” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to . a. improveb. accept c. avoid d. consider33. when your colleague brings about a problem, you should . a. ask a more able colleague for help b. blame him for his lack of responsibility c. tell him to find the cause of the problem d. find a better way to handle the problem 34. when problems occur, winners take them as . a. excuses for their failuresb. chances for self-development c. challenges to their colleaguesd. barriers to greater power35. which of the following is the best title for the passage? a. a winners secret. b. a winners problem. c. a winners opportunity.d. a winners achievement.第二节：根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。what is the purpose of reading or studying? if you cant remember what you read or study, it will be a waste of time. 36 one useful aid that does help you remember what you study is to have a specific purpose or reason for reading.why does a clerk in a store go away when your reply to her offer to help is, no, thank you, im just looking.? both you and she know that if you arent sure what you want, you are not likely to find it. but suppose you say instead, yes, thank you. i want a pair of sun glasses. she says, right this way, please.” its quite the same with your studying. if you choose a book, just looking for nothing in particular, you are likely to get just thatnothing. 37 your reasons will vary; they will include reading or studying to find out more about, to understand the reasons for and to find out how 38 before you start to study, you say to yourself something like this, i want to know why stephen vincent benet happened to write about americabecause you know why you are reading or studying, you relate the information to your purpose and remember it betterreading is not one single activity. 39 as you read, you take in ideas rapidly and accurately. but at the same time you express your own ideas to yourself as you react to what you read. you have a kind of mental conversation with the authorthis additional process of thinking about what you read includes evaluating it, relating it to what you already know, and using it for your own purposes. 40 one part of critical reading, as you have discovered, is distinguishing between facts and opinions. facts can be checked by evidence. opinions are ones own personal reactions. another part of critical reading is judging sources. still another part is drawing accurate inferences.a. this is an effective studying way. b. in other words, a good reader is a critical reader.c. you remember better when you know what youre reading.d. at least two important processes go on at the same time.e. it is important for students to have a positive attitude to their study.f. but if you do know what you want, you are almost sure
