D. $ 150.00.BA study of English learning problems was carried out among a total of 106 foreign students.It shows that most students considered understanding spoken English to be their biggest problem on arrival. This was followed by speaking. Writing increased as a problem as students discovered difficulties in writing papers that they were now expected to hand in. Reading remained as a significant problem.The information gained helped us in determining where special attention should be paid in our course. Although many students have chosen to join the course with a reasonable motivation, we considered it important to note what seemed to encourage interest. Nearly all the students have experienced some kind of grammar-based English teaching in their own country. To use the same method would be self-defeating because it might reduce motivation, especially if it has failed in the past. Therefore a different method may help because it is different.Variety of activity was also seen as a way of maintaining or increasing motivation. Several years ago we had one timetable that operated throughout, but we soon found that both the students and the teachers lost interest by about halfway through the ten weeks. This led us to a major re-think, so finally we brought it into line with the expressed language needs of the students.24. What is the text mainly about?A. Foreign students have more problems.B. Teaching should meet students needs.C. English learning problems should be studied again.D. There are many ways to improve English.25. Writing became a bigger problem when foreign students _.A. became less interested in readingB. became better at speakingC. had to write their papersD. had fewer problems with listening26. We may infer from the last two paragraphs that _.A. teaching content should be changed halfwayB. grammar-based teaching seems to be encouragingC. English courses are necessary for foreign studentsD. different teaching methods should be used27. The word it underlined in the last paragraph refers to _.A. timetable B. re-think C. motivation D. activityCOne day ,I received a call from a colleague. He was about to give a student a zero for his answer to a physical problem .while the student claimed a perfect score. I was elected as their arbiter( 仲裁人).I read the examination problem： “Show how it is possible to determine the height of a tall building with the aid of a barometer(气压计).” The student had answered： “Take the barometer to the top of the building，attach a long rope to it，lower it to the street，and then bring it up, measuring the length of the rope. The length of it is the height of the building. ”The student had really answered the question completely ，but the answer didnt confirm his competence in physics. I suggested the student try again. I gave him six minutes to answer the question, warning that the answer should show some knowledge of physics. Five minutes later, he said he had many answers and clashed off one, which read： “Take the barometer to the top of the building and lean over the edge of the roof. Drop the barometer, timing its fall with a stopwatch. Then, use the physical formula (公式）to calculate the height of the building. ”At this point, my colleague had to accept it, and then the student made almost full marks. I couldnt help asking the student what the other answers were. He listed many others ,and then added5 “Probably the best is to take the barometer to the. administrator and said to him， Sir, here is a fine barometer. If you tell me the height of the building, I will give it to you.”Then, I asked the student if he really did not know the conventional answer to this question. He admitted that he did ,but said that he was fed up with high school and college instructors trying to teach him how to think.The name of the student was Bohr who later was famous all over ,the world. He won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1922.28.The student got a zero at the beginning because_.Athe teacher wasnt satisfied with himBhis answer wasnt complete or correctCthe teacher didnt fully understand his answerDhis answer didnt show his knowledge of physics29.We know from the passage that_Athe student knew the expected answerBthe administrator told Bohr the heightCthe author preferred Bohr s last answerDthe teacher was a very stubborn person30.We can learn from the passage that_.Ainstructors can teach students how to thinkBarbiters can help students to get high scoresCstudents should be given more freedom in thinkingDteachers should make students use physical formulas31. What was Bohrs attitude toward his schooling?ACritical. B. Optimistic. CApproving. DAmbiguous.DAn explosion on Thursday killed one and injured 21 in a busy street in Tongren.Southwest Chinas Guizhou Province.The bomb was hidden in a rubbish bin in the citys commercial hub, where lots of shops and restaurants are concentrated.The ear-splitting explosion was heard around 12: 50 p.m., said a local newspaper, which was described by witnesses.
