二、阅读理解（共 3 道试题，共 60 分。）V 1.      Having raised eight children of my own, I know the dilemma (左右为难) parents face. In a world increasingly hostile to children, we want to show we care by acting on our loving impulses, which usually means spending. But when our kids came home asking for the latest designer wear, my wife and I knew we had to say “no” more often than not. Of course, deciding to have no TV in the house was the first real breakthrough; I doubt we would have won this battle without freeing ourselves from its influence.
    As a child, I grew up in what I now see was poverty. For the first few years of my life, I ate only the smallest amount. Yet, I would find it hard to imagine a happier childhood. Why? Because my parents gave us children time and attention on a daily basis. For instance, no matter how busy they were, they tried to eat breakfast with us before we went off to school each morning.
    No child should have to live in poverty. But I firmly believe that the happiness of a child does not depend on his or her access (接近) to material wealth. After all, it is the love we give our children, and not the things, that will remain with them for life.
    Having worked thirty years as a family counselor, I know that parents really do love their children, and want to do what is best for them. But what does it mean to give a child love? Next time you feel that you have failed your kids, and are tempted to relieve those feelings by bringing home gifts, remember that we can’t buy our children’s affection. All they really want, and need, is time and attentiveness, a listening ear and an encouraging word. These are things every parent can provide.

1). What the author most concerns about is _________________.
A. how to make children pleased
B. how to give children the true love
C. how to educate his children
D. how to meet the children’s needs
      满分：4  分
2). According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A. The author lived in a poor family when he was very young.
B. He never bought any gifts to his children.
C. When he was a child, his parents cared him and other children much in their own way.
D. Every parent has the ability to provide love for his or her children.
      满分：4  分
3). In Paragraph 1, when the author says, “But when our kid…we had to say ‘no’ more often than not”, he means ___________________.
A. he could not afford too much
B. in order not to spoil his children, he must refuse them
C. though he loved his children, he didn’t always satisfy their material needs


D. he wanted to fight against his children
      满分：4  分
4). The sentence “I would find it hard to imagine a happier childhood” (Para. 2) means _______________
A. his childhood was much happier than he could imagine
B. he did not have a happy childhood because of poverty
C. it’s hard to imagine whether he had had a happy childhood
D. none of the above
      满分：4  分
5). What does the author think is the best for his children?
A. Gifts.
B. A listening ear and an encouraging word.
C. Time and attentiveness.
D. Both B and C
      满分：4  分
2.      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 streaming (把……按能力分班) pupils. 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. After all, 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 pupils to the full, not just their academic ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning.
    In our classrooms, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups: this gives them 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, to analyze and evaluate, and to communicate effectively. The pupils learn from each other as well as from 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 they need in order to do this efficiently. An advanced pupil can do advanced work: it does not matter what 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.

1). In the passage the author’s attitude towards “mixed-ability teaching” is _______.
A. critical
B. questioning
C. approving
D. objective
      满分：4  分
2). By “held back” (Line 1) the author means “______”
A. made to remain in the same classes
B. forced to study in the lower classes
C. drawn to their studies
D. prevented from advancing
      满分：4  分
3). The author argues that a teacher’s chief concern should be the development of the student’s ______.
A. personal qualities and social skills
B. total personality
C. learning ability and communicative skills
D. intellectual ability
      满分：4  分
4). 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. Pupils also learn how to participate in teaching activities.
      满分：4  分

A. argue for teaching bright and not-so-bright pupils in the same class
B. recommend pair work and group work for classroom activities
C. offer advice on the proper use of the library
D. emphasize the importance of appropriate formal classroom teaching
      满分：4  分
3.      Oceanography has been defined as “The application of all sciences to the study of the sea”.
    Before the nineteen century, scientists with an interest in the sea were few and far between. Certainly Newton considered some theoretical aspects of it in his writings, but he was reluctant to go to sea to further his work.
    For most people the sea was remote, and with the exception of early intercontinental travelers or others who earned a living from the sea, there was little reason to ask many questions about it, let alone to ask what lay beneath the surface. The first time that question “What is at the bottom of the oceans?” had to be answered with any commercial consequence was when the laying of a telegraph cable from Europe to America was proposed. The engineers had to know the depth profile (轮廓) of the route to estimate the length of cable that had to be manufactured.
    It was to Maury of the US Navy that the Atlantic Telegraph Company turned, in 1853, for information on this matter. In the 1840s, Maury had been responsible for encouraging voyages during which soundings (深度测量) were taken to investigate the depths of the North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Later, some of his findings aroused much popular interest in his book The Physical Geography of the Sea.
    The cable was laid, but not until 1866 was the connection made permanent and reliable. At the early attempts, the cable failed and when it was taken out for repairs it was found to be covered in living growths, a fact which defied contemporary scientific opinion that there was no life in the deeper parts of the sea.
    Within a few years oceanography was under way. In 1872 Thomson led a scientific expedition (考察), which lasted for four years and brought home thousands of samples from the sea. Their classification and analysis occupied scientists for years and led to a five-volume report, the last volume being published in 1895.

1). The proposal to lay a telegraph cable from Europe to America made oceanographic studies take on ______.
A. an academic aspect
B. a military aspect
C. a business aspect
D. an international aspect
      满分：4  分
2). It was ______ that asked Maury for help in oceanographic studies.
A. the American Navy
B. some early intercontinental travelers
C. those who earned a living from the sea
D. the company which proposed to lay an undersea cable
      满分：4  分
3). The aim of the voyages Maury was responsible for in the 1840s was ______.
A. to make some sounding experiments in the oceans
B. to collect samples of sea plants and animals
C. to estimate the length of cable that was needed
D. to measure the depths of the two oceans
      满分：4  分
