3.Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Every artist knows in his heart that he is saying something to the public. Not only does he want so say it well,but he wants it to be something which has not been said before. He hopes the public will listen and understand-he wants to teach them. and he wants them to learn from him. What visual artists like painters want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to explain,because painters translate their experiences into shapes and colors,not words. They seem to feel that a certain selection of shapes and colors,out of the countless billions possible,is exceptionally interesting for them and worth showing to us. Without their work we should never have noticed these particular shapes and colors,or have felt the delight which they brought to the artist. Most artists take their shapes and colors from the world of nature and from human bodies in motion and repose:their choices indicate that these aspects of the world are worth looking at,that they contain beautiful sights. Contemporary artists might say that they merely choose subjects that provide an interesting pattern,that there is nothing more in it. Yet even they do not choose entirely without reference to the character of their subjects. If one painter chooses to paint a gangrenous(生坏疽的)leg and another a lake in moonlight,each of them is directing our attention to a certain aspect of the world. Each painter is telling us something,showing us something,emphasizing something-all of which mean that,consciously or unconsciously,he is trying to teach us.All artists are common in that______.A. they use shapes and colors instead of wordsB. they are trying to teach the publicC. what they want to teach is difficult to explainD. they want to learn from the public

    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 cooperate, to share, and to develop their 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.

    2.
    Among all the books I have read, A Dream of Red Mansions, one of the four great works in China, an encyclopedia of the ancient Chinese life, is my favorite.

Take Baochai for instance, though she was nice and considerate to everyone, when she was attacked by ridicules, she would fight back forcefully without hesitation. And her retort was always sparkling with wisdom, which I appreciate so much, and which I believe is indispensable in daily work. I believe that when we are challenged by some sharp questions, we should take Baochai as an example to make a tactful reply.

    Which of the following is NOT true about many people who experience mental health problems?
    A

    They can get over them or learn to live with them.

    B

    They don’t receive the right kind of help.

    C

    They are kept away from their families and friends.

    D

    They receive unfair treatment from the professionals who should care for them.


    正确答案: D
    解析:
    录音中讲到“幸运的是,大多数出现精神问题的人可以克服掉或学着与它们共存(get over them or learn to live with them)。不幸的是许多有精神问题的人不能接受到正确的帮助(don’t receive the right kind of help)。事实上,许多有精神问题的人受到他们的家人,朋友和专业人员的回避或歧视,这些人本应该照顾他们的”,由此可见只有D项错误。
    【录音原文】
      The word “mental” is seen almost exclusively in negative terms — as a term of abuse in the playground, at work and even in the family. But we are all “mental” beings — in the same way as we are all “physical” beings. And mental health is just as important as physical health. If we are to grow and to flourish, we need to accept that we are “mental” beings with emotional and spiritual needs, as well as physical ones.
      Good mental health isn’t just the absence of mental health problems. If we have good mental health, we can develop emotionally, creatively, intellectually and spiritually. We can initiate, develop and sustain mutually satisfying personal relationships. We can face problems, resolve them and learn from them. We can also use and enjoy solitude, play and have fun, and laugh both at ourselves and at the world. What is more, we are confident, assertive, aware of others, and empathetic with them.
      Mental health problems range from the worries and grief we all experience as part of everyday life, to the most bleak, suicidal depression or complete loss of touch with everyday reality. On average one in four of us will experience a mental health problem in the course of a year. These problems can cause real and lasting damage, both to the individual and to the community. Fortunately the majority of people who experience mental health problems can get over them or learn to live with them especially if they get help early on. Unfortunately many people experiencing a mental health problem don’t receive the right kind of help and some don’t receive any help at all. In fact many people with mental health problems are shunned or discriminated against by their families, friends and the professionals who are supposed to be caring for them.

    【录音原文】
      M: Today on mind matters, I’m talking to Dr Ann Winters, an expert on human memory. Ann, welcome to the program. Now, I suppose the first question everyone would ask is: what exactly is human memory?
      W: Well, like so many easy questions, the answer isn’t very simple. Basically, human memory is a compartment in people’s brains where they store images rather like the hard disc drive in a computer. And like a hard disc drive, our memories can become infected or even wiped out by accidents. But the comparison breaks down when we consider that we can train our memories to expand and work better which computers can’t manage yet.
      M: When you talk about memory being infected, do you mean by a disease?
      W: Yes. For instance, people suffering from a physiological disease like Alzheimer: forget things that happened in the past. And they also forget how to perform simple tasks like tying their shoelaces. The good news is that brain exercises can help keep the brain young. Research has shown that people who have better educations and more mentally active jobs have a lower risk of developing the disease.
      M: And how can someone exercise his brain? By thinking a lot?
      W: In a way, yes. But you can also practice using your memory which not only exercises your brain but also improves you ability to remember things. Unfortunately, a lot of devices in modern life are designed to make sure we don’t t forget things which can make our brains more idle and weaken our memories.
      M: Can you give us some examples of how to exercise our memories?
      W: Sure, there is a very simple technique, although it works better for some people than for others. When you want to remember something, think of a physical thing it reminds you of. If I want to remember a date from history, let’s say, 1066, the date of the Battle of Hastings. I might think that battle reminds me of bottle, so I think of a bottle with the number 1066 written on the label. And I just picture that bottle to myself.

    Passage 1Every day 25 million U.S. children ride school buses. The safety record for these buses is much better than for passenger cars; but nevertheless, about 10 children are killed each year riding on large school buses, and nearly four times that number are killed outside buses in the loading zones. By and large, however, the nation's school children are transported to and from school safety.Even though the number of school bus casualties is not large, the safety of children is always of intense public concern. While everyone wants to see children transported safely, people are divided about what needs to be done particularly whether seat belts should be mandatory.Proponents of seat belts on school buses-many of them parents and medical organizations argue that seat belts are necessary not only to reduce fatality and injury, but also to teach children lessons about the importance of using them routinely in any moving vehicle. A side benefit, they point out, is those seats belts help keep children in their seats, away from the bus driver.Opponents of seat belt installation suggest that children are already well protected by the school buses that adhere to the Nation Highway Traffic Safety Administrations(NHTSA) safety requirements set in 1977. They also believe that many children won't wear seat belts anyway and that may damage the belts or use them as weapons to hurt other children.A new Research Council report on school bus safety suggests that there are alternate safety devices and procedures that may be more effective and less expensive. For example, the study committee suggested that raising seat backs four inches may have the same safety effectiveness as seat belts.The report sponsored by the Department of Transportation at the request of Congress, reviews seat belts extensively while taking a broader look at safety in and around school buses.According to the passage, the school bus is________.
