The teacher interrupted often with comments and questions. The 18 students seemed to be into it, but it was such an oldfashionedI guess to some educators_approach that I decided to see what other educators thought of it.Was the read aloud technique bad or good? Was it timewasting or useful? Read these comments.“I have observed this most often in high school English classes. During aloud reading, I have observed students becoming absent-minded from the teaching. While this may be a proper way for some teaching points, such as pronunciation, stress, fluency, when done for expediency (權(quán)宜), I find reading aloud to be ineffective.” Steve Johnson“We dont encourage using a lot of teaching time to read aloud in high school English classes. Reading aloud selected passages that are especially difficult or rich in meaning is a frequent practice, but the focus is on the discussion over the text rather than the reading. Another typical use of reading aloud is when the class is reading a drama, especially a Shakespeare play, but our advice is for students to read after preparation rather than doing a cold reading.”Jim Fliakas“We encourage a method that students practice reading independently, to increase their own fluency and understanding. This is done before sharing ideas with a partner, a group, or with the entire class. This method improves their understanding of the texts which are guided by the teacher.”Dave LevinIt all depends on the conditions, the students, the goal of the lesson and the style of the teacher.21In the opinion of Steve Johnson, reading aloud _.Amay cause students to lose concentrationB is always useful for a particular purposeCis a good way to involve every studentDis ineffective in developing students fluency22By saying “doing a cold reading”, Fliakas meant _.Areading something uninterestingBreading without preparationCreading in a cold environmentDreading while having a cold23What is the authors attitude towards reading aloud technique?ADoubtful. BSupportive. CWorried. DObjective.B Rock and roll music developed in the United States in the early nineteen-fifties. It was based on the music called rhythm and blues that was performed by African American musicians.Early rock and roll singers developed their own kinds of music. Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, the Beach Boys, and Bob Dylan were the most popular rock and roll musicians in the early 1960s. All were American. Then, in 1964, a new rock and roll group from England invaded America: the Beatles.Some people say the Beatles music shook America like an earthquake. The Beatles changed rock and roll forever. Their early songs were influenced by American rock and roll musicians, including Chuck Berry. But the Beatles looked different and sounded different from any musical group before them.The Beatles released their first album in the United States in 1964, when all of the top five records in America were by the Beatles. In 1967, they released an album called “Sergeant Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band.” It was one of the first “concept” albums. That is, all the songs were linked by a common story or idea.The popularity of the Beatles led the way for more rock and roll bands from England to become popular in America. The Rolling Stones was the most important of these bands. The Rolling Stones is one of the few groups from the 1960s that is still performing and recording today. In 1965, the group recorded one of its most famous songs, “Satisfaction”.By the 1970s, rock and roll music became known as rock music. Experts say rock music regained some of the energy of early rock and roll. Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band became popular with their album “Born to Run”. Springsteens music was like the lively rock and roll music of the early nineteen-sixties. Many of his songs were about social issues. He sang about the effects of unemployment and the war in Vietnam.24The main topic of this passage is _.Athe history of American musicBthe development of rock and roll musicCthe famous rock and roll groupsDthe new forms of rock and roll music25What does “the Beatles music shook America like an earthquake” mean?AThe Beatles music was as violent as an earthquake in America.Bthe Beatles looked differently because an earthquake hit America.CThe Beatles music had great effect on the rock and roll music in America.DThe Beatles music were greatly influenced by American rock and roll music.26Whose songs were mainly about social problems like unemployment and war?AElvis Presleys.BBob Dylans.CChuck Berrys.DSpringsteens.27From the passage, we can know that _.Aone of the Rolling Stones albums was called “concept”Ball of the top five records in America were by the Beatles in 1964Cthe Rolling Stones was the only band that became popular in AmericaDall the most popular rock and roll musicians in the 1960s were AmericanCThe earthquake affected the students of the destroyed areas in many ways: losing parents, being scared(害怕) and feeling lonely.

They might give up on life.How can we help them overcome these problems?The first thing is to build up trust with them. Show your sympathy and sadness, and be their friend. Then you have to give them a sense of safety. Tell them that theres a solution to every problem. Thirdly, try to satisfy their psychological needs.

Talk with an adult and/or share your feelings with someone who might feel similar.

You know the standard explanations: keeping a moderate diet, engaging in regular exercise, etc. But what effect does your personality have on your longevity? Do some kinds of personalities lead to longer lives? A new study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society looked at this question by examining the personality characteristics of 246 children of people who had lived to be at least 100.The study shows that those living the longest are more outgoing, more active and less neurotic（神經(jīng)質(zhì)的）than other people. Long-living women are also more likely to be sympathetic and cooperative than women with a normal life span. These findings are in agreement with what you would expect from the evolutionary theory: those who like to make friends and help others can gather enough resources to make it through tough times.Interestingly, however, other characteristics that you might consider advantageous had no impact on whether study participants were likely to live longer. Those who were more self-disciplined, for instance, were no more likely to live to be very old. Also, being open to new ideas had no relationship to long life, which might explain all those bad-tempered old people who are fixed in their ways.Whether you can successfully change your personality as an adult is the subject of a longstanding psychological debate. But the new paper suggests that if you want long life, you should strive to be as outgoing as possible.Unfortunately, another recent study shows that your mothers personality may also help determine your longevity. That study looked at nearly 28,000 Norwegian mothers and found that those moms who were more anxious, depressed and angry were more likely to feed their kids unhealthy diets. Patterns of childhood eating can be hard to break when were adults, which may mean that kids of depressed moms end up dying younger.Personality isnt destiny, and everyone knows that individuals can learn to change. But both studies show that long life isnt just a matter of your physical health but of your mental health.32What finding of the study might be out of our expectation?_.AHelpful people can live a relatively long life.BBeing self-disciplined makes no difference to longevity.CReadiness to accept new ideas offers more possibility to enjoy longevity.DPersonality characteristics that prove advantageous actually vary with times.33What does the recent study of Norwegian mothers show?AMothers anxiety may affect their childrens life spans.BPeople with unhealthy eating habits are likely to die at a young age.CMothers may have a longer influence on children than fathers.DChildrens personality characteristics are always shaped by their mothers.34What can we learn from the findings of the two new studies?AAnxiety and depression more often than not cut short ones life span.BA persons lifestyle is largely related to his or her health.CPersonality plays a decisive and significant role in how healthy one is.DA mixture of mental and physical health produces longevity.35According to the author, outgoing and sympathetic people _Ahave a good understanding of evolution.Bare probably more active and neurotic.Care more likely to recover from hardship.Dgenerally appear more resourceful.第二節(jié) （共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分）根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。“Youre hired！”Youve probably already been filling out job applications or talking to family or friends about getting a parttime job.And good for you!
