As a French graduate who has taught for more than twenty-five years, I have some _21_ of why the failure is so total. 22 the faults already found out in the education system as a whole, there have been several serious 23 which have a direct effect on language teaching.The first is the removal from the curriculum (课程) of the thorough teaching of English 24 . Pupils now do not know a verb from a noun or the subject of a sentence from its object.Another important error is mixed-ability teaching, or teaching in ability groups so 25 that the most able groups are 26 and are bored while the least able are lost and 27 bored.Progress depends on memory, and pupils start to forget immediately they stop having 28 lessons. This is why many people who attended French lessons at school have forgotten it a few years later.Most American schools have accepted what is necessary and 29 modern languages, even Spanish, from the curriculum. Perhaps it is time for Britain to do the same, and stop 30 resources on a subject which few pupils want or need.21. A. question B. evidence C. idea D. knowledge22. A. Due toB. In addition toC.

They studied a mixed group of people. Some were normal; _36_ were aphasics. It was proved that the aphasics were far ahead of the normal people in recognizing false speeches in most cases, the normal people were fooled by words,_37_ the aphasics were not.Dr. Oliver Sacks mentioned a particular case in _38_ hospital. Some aphasics were watching the president giving a speech on TV.

Before that time, large computers were only used by large, rich companies that could afford the investment. With the advancement of technology, small computers have come onto the market, which are capable of doing the work that used to be done by much larger and expensive computers, so now most smaller companies can use themThe main development in small computers has been in the field of word processors (处理器) , or WPS as they are often called. 40% of British offices are now estimated to have a word processor and this percentage is growing fast.There are many advantages in using a word processor for both secretary and manager. The secretary is freed from a lot of daily work, such as re-typing letters and storing papers. He or she can use this time to do other more interesting work for the boss. From a managers point of view, secretarial time is being made better use of and money can be saved by doing daily jobs automatically outside office hours.But is it all good? If a lot of daily secretarial work can be done automatically, surely this will mean that fewer secretaries will be needed. Another worry is the increasing medical problems related to work with visual display units (显示器). The case of a slow loss of sight among people using word processors seems to have risen greatly. It is also feared that if a woman works at a VDU for long hours, the unborn child in her body might be killed. Safety screens to put over a VDU have been invented but few companies in England bother to buy them.Whatever the arguments for and against word processor, they are a key feature (特征) of this revolution in office practice.41. Ten years ago, smaller companies did not use large computers because_.A. these companies had not enough money to buy such expensive computersB. these computers could not do the work that small computers can do todayC. these computers did not come onto the marketD. these companies did not need to use this new technology42. According to the writer, the main feature of the revolution in office work over the lastten years is _.A. the saving of time and moneyB. the use of computers in small companiesC. the wide use of word processorsD. the decreasing number of secretaries43. It is implied but not directly stated in the passage that with the use of word processors_.A. some secretaries will lose their jobsB. daily jobs can be done automatically outside office hoursC. medical problems related to work with a VDU have increased greatlyD. the British companies will make less money44. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. There are both advantages and disadvantages in using a word processor.B. The British companies care much for the health of the people using word processors.C. The technology in the field of computers has been greatly advanced over the lastten years.D. Using word processors, secretaries can get more time to do more interesting workfor their bosses.45. It can be concluded from the passage that _.A. safety screens are of poor qualityB. working at a VDU for a long time is good for ones healthC. more and more British offices will use word processorsD. British companies will need fewer and fewer managersBIt was Thanksgiving morning and in the crowded kitchen of my small home I was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving turkey when the doorbell rang. I opened the front door and saw two small children in rags huddling together inside the storm door on the top step.“Any old papers, lady?” asked one of them.I was busy. I wanted to say “no” until I looked down at their feet. They were wearing thin little sandals, wet with heavy snow.“Come in and Ill make you a cup of hot cocoa.”They walked over and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. I served them cocoa and bread with jam to fight against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started again on my household budget.The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, “Lady, are you rich?”I looked at my shabby slipcovers. The girl put her cup back in its saucer carefully and said, “Your cups match your saucers.” Her voice was hungry with a need that no amount of food could supply. They left after that, holding their bundles of papers against the wind. They hadnt said “Thank you.” They didnt need to. They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful. Plain blue china cups and saucers were only worth five pence. But they matched.I tasted the potatoes and stirred the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof over our heads, my man with a good steady jobthese matched, too.I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The muddy prints of small sandals were still wet upon my floor. Let them be for a while, I thought, just in case I should begin to forget how rich I am.46. Two children came to the writers front door because _.A. it was Thanksgiving DayB. they were beggarsC. they wanted old papersD. they wanted a cup of cocoa47. Why did the writer let the children in?A. She showed great pity on themB. She had old papers to sellC. She wanted to invite them to her Thanksgiving feastD. She wanted them to see how rich she was48. The girl thought the writer was rich perhaps because _.A. she saw that the ladys room was comfortableB. she saw the cups matched the saucersC. the writers slipcovers were very newD. the writer was preparing a big meal while she was too hungry.49. From the passage, we can infer that whether you are rich depends on _.A. how much money you have hadB. how you feel about your lifeC. how you have helped othersD. what job your husband is doing50. The writer left the muddy prints of small sandals on the floor for a while to _.A. show her husband that someone had comeB. remind her that she had helped two childrenC. remind her that she was very rich in the neighborhoodD. remind her how life should beCAre some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no amount of education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of persons intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from population, it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.51. The writer is in favor of the view that mans intelligence is given to him_.A. at birth B. through educationC. both at birth and through education D. neither at birth nor through education52. If a child is born with low intelligence, he can_.A. become a geniusB. still become a genius if he should be given special educationC. reach his intelligence limits in rich surroundingsD. not reach his intelligence in his life.53. In the second paragraph, the underlined sentence means if we_.Apick any two personsB. take out two different personsC. choose two persons who are relativeD. choose two persons with different intelligence54. The example of the twins going to a university and to a factory separately shows_.A. the importance of their intelligenceB. the role of environment on intelligenceC. the importance of their positionsD. the part that birth plays55. The best title of the passage can be _.A. Surroundings B. IntelligenceC. Dependence on Environment D.
