Minister of State for Schools in the British Department for Education Nick Gibb said.‎ Gibb added that he would like to see schools across Britain adopt "whole class teaching" methods, particularly in math and science.‎ ‎"Whole class teaching" methods, also known as "chalk and talk" teaching, was primarily used in Britain until the 1950s when it was branded authoritarian(专制的) and replaced with the 'child-centered' approach. Under the new system, pupils are encouraged to 'discover' knowledge by themselves at their own pace, often in small groups, with the teacher offering them support.‎ The "whole class" teaching has proven popular and effective in China. In Chinese primary ‎ schools, pupils sit in rows of desks facing the teacher and blackboard. Videos showed that teachers interacted with the whole class 72 per cent of the time in Chinese classrooms, compared with only 25 per cent in England.‎ Research shows that children in China score up to 30 percent higher in math than British pupils of the same age.‎ As Shanghai's pupils have been the top performers in the Program for International Student Assessment organized by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, sixty of China's top math teachers from Shanghai were invited to selected British schools to share their skills in a bid to lift standards in Britain this September, while some British teachers flew to Shanghai to study teaching methods in China.‎ ‎21.Which of the following is NOT an advantage of Chinese "whole class teaching" method over British 'child-centered' approach？‎ ‎ A. More effective B. Students enjoying more freedom in class ‎ C. Better performance in math D. More interaction between teacher and students ‎ ‎22.The meaning of the underlined word “branded” is probably closest to “______”‎ ‎ A. strongly supported B. widely praised ‎ C. unfairly called D. gradually abandoned ‎23.What is the best title for this passage ?‎ ‎ A. Chinese Teaching Method Widely Accepted ‎ B. Advantages of "whole class teaching” Method ‎ ‎ C. Exchange Programs Between Britain and China D. British Schools Urged to Learn From China in Teaching ‎ B Fred Michel is one of 7.2 million Americans who moonlight. Once a week, after his day job as medical director of a mental health center, the 40-year-old psychiatrist heads to a part-time job at a treatment center for young people. Twice a month, he travels three hours to another teenage treatment center.‎ Last year, 5.4 percent of the American workforce held second jobs, according to the US Labor Department, and that looks set to increase this year.‎ ‎ Many workers like the safety that moonlighting provides, says Carl Hausman, the writer of "Moonlighting: 148 Great Ways to Make Money on the Side."‎ The information from the US Labor Department shows that 40 percent of US moonlighters take a second job to meet household expenses or pay off debts. Others save money or buy some special things.‎ People also take second jobs with an eye to the future一wanting to try out a new field or gain experience.‎ Michel started moonlighting when medical systems were unstable. He wanted to make sure he wasn't tied to one system that ended up failing.‎ Just as the purposes for moonlighting vary, the moonlighters cross all ages and racial groups. And they work in a variety of industries --- no longer just service, office and sale jobs.‎ ‎"Technology just affects your ability to make money," Hausman says, "that makes a frequent change in moonlighting."‎ As its name means, moonlighting still occurs mostly at night. And that results in some pressures. Chief among them is time.‎ Full-time employers could misunderstand, too. Some companies do not allow after-hour work ‎ because they fear it will affect their employees' 9-to-5 performance.‎ ‎"The primary employer is saying, `Wait, I'm paying you for the sharp, fresh, energetic you,"' says Tom Gimbel, president and founder of LaSalle Staffing in Chicago. "If you're burning yourself at both ends, it's going to show."‎ Still, the good done to the moonlighters can be great. Besides extra income, moonlighters enjoy variety, freedom and chance to do something new. They may also find their part-time jobs strengthen what they do full time.‎ Besides, "it's fun," Michel says. Not only do his part-time jobs offer a chance to network, stretch his professional skills and make more money, but they also give him the variety he wouldn't find just in a full-time job.‎ ‎ "It's a way of pulling from the spice cabinet" he says, "and offering a little variety throughout the day."‎ ‎24.The reason why Fred Michel began to moonlight is that _______.‎ A. he found it exciting to do a part-time job B. he needed to make ends meet with more money C. he felt more and more pressure from his employer.‎ D. he feared he would lose his present job one day ‎ ‎25.Some companies don't allow their workers to moonlight because they are afraid ______.‎ A. their workers can not do extra-hour work for them B. their workers will be too tired to try their best at work C. their workers will one day turn to some other different jobs D. their workers will not get to work and be off work on time ‎26.________ seems to be the main reason for people’s moonlighting.‎ A. Money B. Interest C. Variety D. Freedom ‎27.The underlined sentence "It's a way of pulling from the spice cabinet." in the last paragraph means _______.‎ A. moonlighting strengthens your professional skills B .moonlighting offers you freedom to make extra money C. moonlighting brings you chances to do something different ‎ D. moonlighting gets you away from the job you don't enjoy ‎ C At one time, computers were expected largely to remove the need for paper copies of documents because they could be stored electronically. But for all the texts that are written, stored and sent electronically, a lot of them are still ending up on paper.‎ It is difficult to measure the quantity of paper used as a result of Internet-connected computers, although just about anyone who works in an office can tell you that when e-mail is introduced, the printers start working overtime. “I feel in my bones this revolution is causing more trees to be cut down,” says Ted Smith of the Earth Village Organization.‎ Perhaps the best sign of how computer and Internet use pushes up demand for paper comes from the high-tech industry itself, which sees printing as one of its most promising new markets. Several Internet companies have been set up to help small businesses print quality documents from a computer. Earlier this week Hewlett-Packard Co. announced a plan to develop new technologies that will enable people to print even more so they can get a hard copy of a business document, a medical record or just a one-line e-mail, even if they are nowhere near a computer.‎ ‎ As the company sees it, the more use of the Internet the greater demand for printers.‎ Does all this mean environmental concerns have been forgotten? Some activists suggest people have been led to believe that a lot of dangers to the environment have gone away. “I guess people believe that the problem is taken care of, because of recycling,” said Kelly Quirke, director of the Rainforest Action Network in San Francisco. Yet Quirke is hopeful that high-tech may also prove helpful. He says printers that print on both sides are growing in popularity. The action group has also found acceptable paper made from materials other than wood, such as agricultural waste.‎ ‎28.The growing demand for paper in recent years is largely due to ________.‎ A. the increased use of the Internet B. the opening up of new markets C. the printing of high quality copies D. the rapid development of small businesses ‎29.Environmentalists believe one possible way of dealing with the paper situation is _______.‎ A. to encourage printing more quality documents B. to find new materials for making paper ‎ C. to develop new printers using recycled paper D. to plant more fast-growing trees ‎30.Hewlett-Packard Co. has decided to develop new technologies because _______.‎ A. people are concerned about the environment B. printers in many offices are working overtime C. small companies need more hard copies D. they see a growing market for printers ‎31.What would be the best title for the text?‎ A. Computers and Printers B. E-mail and the Business World C. Internet Revolution and Environment D. Modern Technology and New Markets D Anyone with a passion for hanging labels on people or things should have little difficulty in recognizing that an appropriate tag for our time is the Unkempt Generation. I am not referring only to college kids. The sloppiness(邋遢) virus has spread to all sectors of society," People go to all sorts of trouble and expense to look uncombed, unshaved, unpressed.‎ ‎ The symbol of the times is blue jeans -- not just blue jeans in good condition but jeans that are torn and discolored. They don't get that way naturally. No one wants blue jeans that are clean or brand new. Manufacturers recognize a big market when they see it, and they compete with one another to offer jeans that are made to look as though they've just been thrown away by clumsy house painters after ten years of wear. The more faded and seemingly ancient the garment, the higher the cost. Untidiness is in fashion; neatness is out of date. ‎ ‎ Nothing is wrong with comfortable clothing. It's just that current usage is more reflective of a blind conformity than a desire for ease. No generation has tried harder than ours to fake a casual, relaxed, cool look; none has succeeded more impressively in looking as though it had been stamped out by cookie cutters(模具). We desperately keep ourselves from being conventional, but we put on a uniform to do it. An appearance of radical difference is the goal, to be pursued in oversize sweaters and muddy sports shoes. ‎ ‎ Careless speech stems from the same root. Vocabulary, like blue jeans, is being drained of colour and distinction. A complete sentence in everyday speech is becoming increasingly rare. People communicate in chopped-up phrases, relying on something like “you know” or “I mean” to cover up annoyingly unclear expressions. Neatness should be no less important in language than it ‎ is in dress. The English language is one of the greatest sources of wealth in the world. In the midst of accessible riches, we are still sadly poor in language.‎ ‎32.What is the feature of the “Unkempt Generation”?‎ A. They prefer to wear blue jeans. B. They never wear comfortable clothes.‎ C. They tend to dress sloppily but speak neatly. D. They try to appear casual in dress and speech ‎33.Which of the following is true?‎ ‎ A. Fancy dress can always attract people’s attention.‎ ‎ B. People dress for comfort, not for youthful appearance.‎ ‎ C. Our slopping in dress resulted form our desire to be different.‎ ‎ D. Young people desperately try to look different from other people.‎ ‎34.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?‎ ‎ A. The increased wealth has enriched people’s vocabulary ‎ B. The way one speaks has little to do with what one wears.‎ C. The trend in casual wear has a big effect on how people speak.‎ D. The speech of the younger generation has become more colorful.‎ ‎35.What is the best title of this passage?‎ ‎ A. The Drop of Neatness B. The Necessity of Clean Clothes ‎ C. The Symbol of a New Generation D. The Importance of Formal English 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项是多余的选项。‎ If you go into the forest with friends, stay with them always. If you don’t, you may get lost. If you really get lost, this is what you should do. 36 .Don’t try to find your friends—let them find you by staying in one place. ‎ There is another way to help your friends or other nearby people to find you. Give them a signal by shouting or whistling three times. Stop. Then shout or whistle three times. Any signal given three times is a call for help. ‎ ‎ 37. When people hear you, they will know that you are not just making noise for fun. They will let you know that they have heard your signal. They will give two shouts, two whistles or two gun- shots. 38.‎ ‎ If you don’t think that you will get help before night comes, try to make a little house — cover up the holes with branches with lots of leaves. 39‎ What should you do if you get hungry or need drinking water? You will have to leave your little branch house to look for a river. Don’t just walk away. 40 ‎ ‎ The most important thing to do when you are lost is — stay in one place. ‎ A. Try every possible means to call for help and don’t panic.‎ B . When someone gives a signal, it is an answer to a call for help.‎ C .Make yourself a soft bed with leaves and grass.‎ D. Sit down and stay where you are.‎ E . Keep up the shouting or whistling always three times together.‎ F .Make a fire and stay up in case there are dangerous animals around.‎ G. Pick off small branches and drop them as you walk so that you know the way back.‎ 第三部分　英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节　完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ In the past, American families tended to be quite large.
