As reported by The Times on July 12, half of primary schools in the UK will soon adopt the traditional Chinese method of maths teaching in a Government drive to stop British children falling behind those in Asian. They will get rid of “child-centered” styles and instead return to repetition, drills and “chalk and talk” whole-class learning. Teachers will be offered training, textbooks and advice on how to adopt the Shanghai maths method.

Children in the UK are far behind those in China, Singapore and Japan in international league tables of numeracy(计算能力).  Critics blame “progressive” teaching styles that focused on applying maths to real-life scenes in an effort to make the subject more interesting. They say this has led to confusion and stopped children learning the basics.

Under the Government’s new plans, children as young as five will have drills to practise sums and exercises, and must master each concept through repetition before moving to the next. Nick Gibb, the schools minister, said that training would be provided for 8,000 primary schools – half the country’s total – to switch to the Shanghai ‘mastery’ approach. “We are seeing a renaissance(复兴) in maths teaching in this country, with good ideas from around the world helping to make our classrooms more lively,” he said, “I am confident that the steps we are taking now will make sure young people are properly prepared for further study and the 21st-century workplace, and that the too often heard phrase ‘can’t do maths’ is abandoned to the past.” He has promised £41 million to provide textbooks and training for two teachers from each participating school.

But some teaching leaders questioned whether the success of Asian countries was purely down to the style of lessons. James Bowen, director of NAHT Edge, a union for middle school leaders, said: “Part of the success of maths teaching in countries like China comes from the respect in which they hold teachers and the time they give them to plan and prepare. If the Government wanted to import these practices, too, we wouldn’t object.”

24. What is the passage mainly about?

A. China has better approaches to teaching maths than Britain.

B. Practice and repetition play an important part in learning maths.

C. Chinese maths teaching methods will come into British primary classrooms.

D. The British government attaches great importance to education.

25. According to the Government’s new plan,______________.

A. 8,000 British schools will have to teach maths in Chinese style.

B. individual-based maths teaching approaches will be adopted.

C. £41million will be provided for the necessary textbooks for teachers.

D. British pupils will be taught maths as a whole class.

26. What is the author’s attitude toward the Government’s new plans ?

A. NegativeB. DoubtfulC. Objective  D. Supportive

27. Why wasn’t James Bowen in favor of the plan ?

A. British has different educational conditions from Asian countries.

B. He didn’t have much confidence in British teachers and children.

C. He didn’t believe in the Chinese maths teaching methods

D. The success of maths teaching in Asian countries is due to teachers.

C

After a serious accident ended his snowboarding career , Kevin Pearce is starting over and looking to a new future.

Kevin Pearce has no memory of the crash that brought his snowboarding career to a sudden stop. On December 31, 2009, he was training for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Park City, Utah, when he fell and hit his head on the edge of the halfpipe.(U型管).

Luckily, he was wearing a helmet. Doctors say it saved his life. But he suffered a brain injury that affected his vision, balance and memory. He spent four months recovering in hospitals. He still can't recall several weeks of his life after the accident. What he does remember is watching the Olympics on TV and seeing Shaun White win the gold. "It was hard lying there in the shape I was in, watching those guys do amazing tricks," admits Pearce.

Today, Pearce's focus is getting his health back to 100%. So far, he's made great progress in his physical therapy (治疗). A year ago, he couldn't walk straight. Now, not only can he walk, he can drive again too.

Pearce says his speedy recovery is the result of his fans, his friends and mostly, his family. His mother, Pia, says her youngest son's attitude helped too. "I knew Kevin was going to find a way to be okay."

These days, Pearce is back on the snowboarding circuit.(环道）Instead of performing tricks, though, he's commenting on them from the broadcasting booth.(小房间）He still longs for competition. But he understands the danger of another fall.

28. The main purpose of the text is to____________.

A. advise people to live a healthy life

B. explain the meaning of fair competition

C. stress the importance of a strong will

D. introduce one popular winter sport.

29. Kevin Pearce can say nothing about the accident because he ________.

A. doesn't want to recall the terrible experience

B. wasn't allowed to say anything about it

C. lost the power of speech in the accident

D. has no memory of the accident

30. What can be inferred from the underlined sentence by Pearce's mother in Paragraph 5?

A. She has confidence in her son's recovery.

B. She is very worried about  her son's health.

C. She is thankful to her friends and relatives.

D. She regrets she can't help her son recovery.

31. We can learn from the text that these days Pearce __________.

A. can teach others to snowboard

   B. is still involved with snowboarding

   C. is still lying in bed and watching TV

   D. is learning new tricks from other players

D

We know the famous ones—the Thomas Edisons and the Alexander Graham Bells—but what about the less famous inventors? What about the people who invented the traffic light and the windshield wiper  (雨刮器)?  Shouldn' t we know who they are?

Joan Mclean thinks so. In fact, Mclean, a professor of physics at Mountain University in Range, feels so strongly about this matter that she's developed a course on the topic. In addition to learning “who” invented “what”, however, Mclean also likes her students to learn the answers to the “why” and “how” questions. According to Mclean, “When students learn the answers to these questions, they are better prepared to recognize opportunities for inventing and more motivated to give inventing a try.”

Her students agree. One young man with a patent for an unbreakable umbrella is walking proof of McLean's statement. “If I had not heard the story of the windshield wiper's invention，” said Tommy Lee, a senior physics major.“I never would have dreamed of turning my bad experience during a rain storm into something so meaningful.” Lee is currently negotiating(商谈) to sell his patent to an umbrella producer.

So, just what is the story behind the windshield wiper? Well, Mary Anderson came up with the idea in 1902 after a visit to New York City. The day was cold and stormy, but Anderson still wanted to see the sights, so she jumped aboard a streetcar. Noticing that the driver was struggling to see through the snow covering the windshield,  she found herself wondering why there couldn't be a built－in device for cleaning the window. Still wondering about this when she returned home to Birmingham, Alabama, Anderson started working out solutions. One of her ideas, a lever (操作杆) on the inside of a vehicle that would control an arm on the outside, became the first windshield wiper.

Today we benefit from countless inventions and innovations.(创新） It's hard to imagine driving without Garrett A．Morgan's traffic light. It's equally impossible to picture a world without Katherine J．Blodgett's innovation that makes glass invisible. 

32. By mentioning “traffic light” and “windshield wiper”, the author indicates that countless inventions are________．

A．beneficial, though their inventors are less famous

B．beneficial, because their inventors are famous

C．not useful, because their inventors are less famous

D．not useful, though their inventors are famous

33. Professor Joan McLean's course aims to________．

A．add color and variety to students'  campus life

B．prepare students to try their own invention

C．carry out the requirements by Mountain University

D．inform students of the windshield wiper' s invention

34. Tommy Lee's invention of the unbreakable umbrella was________．

A．not eventually accepted by the umbrella producer

B．not related to Professor Joan McLean's lectures

C．due to his dream of being caught in a rainstorm

D．inspired by the story behind the windshield wiper

35. Which of the following can best serve as the title of this passage?

A. How to Help Students to Sell Their Inventions to Producers?

B．How to Design a Built－in Device for Cleaning the Window?

C．Shouldn't We Develop Invention Courses in Universities?

D．Shouldn't We Know Who Invented the Windshield Wiper?

Dear Peter,

I am writing to you regarded the problem of global warming. When I watch TV, I was surprised to watch the weather forecast saying that it was going to be warmer. Was it to  continue, people would have no place to live in. These years, the earth has became warmer and warmer owing humans’ activities. This phenomena has appealed to many scientists, for who want to find out the cause of it. For example, people use too many energy in order to develop economy without caring about the earth. Meanwhile, factories give off too much carbon dioxide what has a great influence on an increase of temperature of the earth.

Yours  sincerely,

  Li Hua
