Reading Tasks(20)Passage One:Reading is thought to be a kind of conversation between the reader and the text. The reader puts questions, as it were, to the text and gets answers. In the light of these he puts further questions, and so on. For most of the time this“conversation”goes on below the level of consciousness. At time, however, we become aware of it. This is usually we are running into difficulties, when mismatch is occurring between expectations and meaning. When successful matching is being experienced, our questioning of the text continues at the unconscious level.Different people converse with the text differently. Some stay very close to the words on the page; others take off imaginatively from the words, interpreting, criticizing, analyzing and examining. The former represents a king of comprehension, which iswrittenin the text. The latter represents higher levels of comprehension. The balance between these is important, especially for advanced readers.There isanother conversation which from our point of view is equally important, and that is to do not with what is read but with how it is read. We call this a“process” conversation as opposed to a“content”conversation. It is concerned not with meaning but with the strategies we employ in reading. If we are advanced readers our ability to hold a content conversationwith atext is usually pretty well developed. Not so our ability to hold a process conversation. It is precisely this kind of conversation that is of importance when we are seeking to develop our reading to meet the new demands beingplacedupon us by studying at a higher level.31. Reading as a kind of conversation between the reader and the text becomes conscious only when _.A) the readers expectations agree with what is said in the text.B.) the reader has trouble understanding what the author says.C) the reader asks questions and gets answers.D) the reader understands a text very well.32. At a lower level of comprehension, readers tend to _.A) read a text slowlyB) read without thinking hardC) interpret a text in their own wayD.) concentrate on the meaning of words only.33. A“process”conversation has to do with _.A.) the application of reading strategiesB) matching our expectations with the meaning of a textC) the development of our ability to check the detailsD) determining the main idea of a text.34. According to thepassage, it is of great importance for readers at a higher level to maintain a balance between _.A) conscious andunconsciouslevels of comprehensionB) the readersexpectations and the meaning of a textC.) lower and higher level of comprehensionD) interpreting and criticizing a text35. If we want to develop our reading ability at an advanced level, we should _.A.) learn to use different approaches in reading different textB) make our reading process more consciousC) pay more attention to the content of a textD) take a critical attitude towards the authors ideaPassage Two: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 streamingpupils. 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. Afterall, 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 pupilsto the full, not just their academic ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes toall these aspects of learning.In our classrooms, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups: this givesthem 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, toanalyze and evaluate, and to communicate effectively. The pupils learn from each other as well asfrom 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 theyneed in order to do this efficiently. An advanced pupil can do advanced work: it does not matterwhat 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.36.In the passage the authors attitude towards “mixed-ability teaching” is _.A) criticalB) questioningC.) approvingD) objective37.By “held back” (Line 1) the author means “_”A) made to remain in the same classesB) forced to study I the lower classesC) drawn to their studiesD.) prevented from advancing38.The author argues that a teachers chief concern should be the development of the students_.A) personal qualities and social skillsB.) total personalityC) learning ability and communicative skillsD) intellectual ability39.Which of the following is NOT MENTIONED in the third paragraph?A) Group work gives pupils the opportunity to learn to work together with other.B) Pupils also learn to develop their reasoning abilities.C) Group work provides pupils with the opportunity to learn to be capable organizers.D.)
