14、） AWe find that bright children are seldom 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(按能力分班) pupils. It does not take into account(考虑) the fact that children develop at different rates
15、. It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright children. 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. W
16、e 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(方面) of learning.In our classrooms, we work in various ways. The pupils
17、 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(评估), and to communicate effectively. The pupils l
18、earn 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 w
19、e 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 reach this goal.36. By “held back” (Para. 1) the author
20、 means “_”.A. made to remain in the same classes B. forced to study in the lower classesC. drawn to their studies D. prevented from advancing37.

Group work gives pupils the opportunity to learn to work together with others.B. Pupils also learn to develop their reasoning abilities.C. Group work provides pupils
22、 with the opportunity to learn to be capable organizers.D. Pupils also learn how to take part in teaching activities.39. The author s purpose in writing this passage is to _.A. argue for teaching bright and not-so-bright pupils in the same classB. recommend pair work and group work for classroom act
23、ivitiesC. offer advice on the proper use of the library D. emphasize(强调) the importance of proper formal classroom teaching BWhen asked to point out one or two things that are most important to themselves, many put friends ahead of homes, jobs, clothes and cars. A true friendship carries a long hist
24、ory of experience that determines who we are and keeps us connected. It is a treasure we should protect. Unfortunately, the better friends you are, the more probably youll have disagreements. And the result can be what you dont wantan end to the relationship. The good news is that most troubled frie
25、ndships can be mended. First, dont let your pride get in your way. Most of us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open. Second, apologize when youre wrong even if youve been wronged. Over the course of a friendship, even the best people make mistakes. Sometimes, it may be
26、best if the wronged person takes the lead and apologizes. When you apologize, give your friend a chance to admit that he has been wrong. Third, see things from your friends point of view. And finally, accept that friendships change as our needs and lifestyles change. Making friends can sometimes see
27、m easy. The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the natural ups and downs that have an effect on all relationships. My suggestion: Consider friendship an honor and a gift, and worth the effort to treasure and nurture（培养）.40What would be the best title for the text?A. Easy Ways to Make

30、s of view. B. Avoid making mistakes. C. Make an apology first. D. Change our lifestyles. CDuring the 19th century scientists found that when certain parts of the brain of man were injured, he would lose the power to do something. And so people thought that each part of the brain did a different job.
31、 But modern research has found out that this is not so, for it is not easy to say exactly what each part of the brain does.In the past fifty years, there has been a great increase in the amount of research done on the brain. Chemists and biologists have discovered that the way the brain works was no
32、t so simple as people in general may think. Chemists tell us that, 1, 000, 000 chemical changes take place in the brain every second. Some recent researches also suggest that we can remember EVERYTHING that happens to us. We may not be able to recall the things weve heard and seen, but they are all
33、kept there in the storehouse of the mind.Earlier scientists thought that the power of ones brain got weaker and weaker as one grow older. But it is now thought that it is not true. As long as the brain is given plenty of exercise, it keeps its power. It has been made sure that an old person who has
34、always been active in the mind has a quicker mind than a young man who has done some physical work without using much of his brain. The more work we give our brains, the more work theyre able to do.44. Now the scientists have found that _.A. a certain part of a mans brain does a jobB. if a mans brai
35、n is injured, he cant do anythingC. its difficult to conclude what each part of a mans brain doesD. the brain is more powerful than any other parts of a mans body45. Some recent researches suggest that _.A. a mans brain can store all the things in the worldB. no one can recall everything he has hear
36、d and seenC. not everyone can recall all the things he has heard and seenD. anybody has a house of the mind46. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. The older a man grows, the stronger his brain gets.B. The younger a man is, the more quickly his brain works.C. The more active hi
37、s brain is, the more quickly his brain works.D. The more work a man does, the more quickly his brain works. DLife is difficult.It is a great truth because once we truly understand and accept it, then life is no longer difficult.Most do not fully see this truth. Instead they complain about their prob
38、lems and difficulties as if life should be easy. It seems to them that difficulties represent a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families, their class, or even their nation.What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painf
39、ul one. Problems, depending on their nature, cause us sadness or loneliness or regret or anger or fear. These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.Ye
40、t, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems are the serious test that tells us success from failure. When we desire to encourage the growth of human spirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for our children
41、 to solve. It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn. As Benjamin Franklin said, “Those things that hurt, instruct.” It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems.47. From the passage, it can be inferred that _.A. everybod
42、y has problemsB. we become stronger by meeting and solving the problems of lifeC. life is difficult because our problems bring us painD. people like to complain about their problems48.

44、 “Those things that hurt, instruct” suggests that _.A. we do not learn from experienceB. we do not learn when we are painC. pain teaches us important lessonsD. pain cannot be avoided四、单词拼写 （共10小题；每小题0.5分，满分5分）51.
