classrooms across seven primary schools in Blackpool were studied by the University of SalfordStandardized datasuch as age，gender（性别） and academic performancewere collected on each child at the start and end of the year，while each classroom was evaluated for quality on ten different environmental factors，such as direction for natural light，shape，color and temperatureThe results，published in Building and the Environment，showed that the architecture and design of classrooms has an important role to play in influencing academic performanceSix of the environmental factorscolor，choice，connection，complexity，flexibility and lightwere clearly correlated with grade scoresArchitect Peter Barrett，the studys head author，said，This is the first time a whole assessment has been made that successfully links the overall impact directly to learning rates in schoolsThe impact identified is in fact greater than we imaginedAccording to the results，once the differences between theworstandbestdesigned classrooms in the study were taken into account，it was found that the influence thatbestdesigned classrooms bring is equivalent（相等的） to the progress that a typical pupil would be expected to make over a yearThe results are particularly interesting as the government has introduced a controversial series of standardized templates（模板） for new school buildings，with the purpose of reducing the costs of hiring architectsThe opinion on a range of strictlydefined design features replaces the previous Labour governments more architecturally luxurious Building Schools for the Future program，which was canceled by education secretary Michael GoveHe has claimed that his departments new Priority School Building Program，and its basic plans，will put an end to a situation which he believes existed only tomake architects richer61It can be inferred that the standardized dataAwere based on ten environmental factorsBwere collected twice in an academic yearCwere collected

withDbased on63What did Peter Barrett think of the result of the study？AIt was not believableBIt was wonderfulCIt was arguableDIt was against his expectations64Why did Michael Gove cancel the program？ABecause the program didnt reach the standardBBecause standardized templates were not finally decidedCBecause the program was made by the previous governmentDBecause it was against the governments demand for cost saving65Whats the best title for the passage？ASchool Design Can Greatly Affect TeachersLifeBSchool Design Can Greatly Affect TeachersWorkCSchool Design Can Greatly Affect Childrens InterestDSchool Design Can Greatly Affect Childrens Grades66（12.5分）To say that the child learns by imitation and that the way to teach is to set a good example oversimplifiesNo child imitates every action he seesSometimes，the example the parent wants him to follow is ignored while he takes over contrary patterns from some other exampleTherefore we must turn to a more subtle theory thanMonkey see，monkey doLook at it from the childs point of viewHere he is in a new situation，lacking a ready responseHe is seeking a response which will gain certain endsIf he lacks a ready response for the situation，and cannot reason out what to do，he observes a model who seems able to get the right resultThe child looks for an authority or expert who can show what to doThere is a second element at work in this situationThe child may be able to attain his immediate goal only to find that his method brings criticism from people who observe himWhen shouting across the house achieves his immediate end of delivering a message，he is told emphatically that such a racket（叫嚷） is unpleasant，that he should walk into the next room and say his say quietlyThu
