Reading.PASSAGE 1Would be language teachers everywhere have one thing in common: they all want so

14、me recognition of their professional status and skills, and a job. The former requirement is obviously important on a personal level, but it is vital if you are to have any chance of finding work.Ten years ago, the situation was very different. In virtually every developing country, and in many deve

15、loped countries as well, being a native English speaker was enough to get you employed as an English teacher.Now employers will only look at teachers who have the knowledge, the skills and attitudes to teach English effectively. The result of this has been to raise non-native English teachers to the

16、 same status as their native counterparts ( 相對應的人) something they have always deserved but seldom enjoyed. Non-natives are now happy-linguistic discrimination(語言上的歧視) a thing of the past.An ongoing research project, funded by the University of Cambridge, asked a sample of teachers, educators and emp

17、loyers in more than 40 countries whether they regard the native /non-native speakers distinction as being at all important.“No” was the answer. As long as candidates could teach and had the required level of English, it didnt matter who they were and where they came from. Thus, a new form of discrim

18、ination this time justified because it singled out the unqualified-liberated the linguistically oppressed (受壓迫的). But the Cambridge project did more than just that: it confirmed that the needs of native and non-native teachers are extremely similar.Questions:S1 The selection of English teachers used

19、 to be mainly based on_S2 What did non-native English teachers deserve but seldom enjoy?_S3 What kind of people can now find a job as an English teacher?_S4 What is the result of the “new form of discrimination” (Line 5, Para.4)_S5 The phrase “the linguistically oppressed” (Line 6, Para.4) refers to

20、 those who were_PASSAGE 2What personal qualities are desirable in a teacher? I think the following would be generally accepted.First, the teachers personality should be lively and attractive. This does not rule out people who are plain-looking, or even ugly, because many such people have great perso

21、nal charm. But it does rule out such types as the over-excitable, sad, cold, and frustrated.Secondly, it is not merely desirable but essential for a teacher to have a genuine capacity for sympathy, a capacity to understand the minds and feelings of other people, especially, since most teachers are s

22、chool teachers, the minds and feelings of children. Closely related with this is the capacity to be tolerantnot, indeed of weaknesses and immaturity of human nature which induce people, and again especially children, to make mistakes.Thirdly, I hold it essential for a teacher to be both intellectual

23、ly and morally honest. This means that he will be aware of his intellectual strengths and limitations, and will have thought about and decided upon the moral principles by which his life shall be guided. There is no contradiction in my going on to say that a teacher should be a bit of an actor. That

24、 is part of the technique of teaching, which demands that every now and then a teacher should be able to put on an act to enliven a lesson, correct a fault, or award praise. Children, especially young children, live in a world that is rather larger than life.A teacher must be capable of infinite pat

25、ience. This , I may say, is largely a matter of self-discipline and self-training, for we are none of us born like that.Finally, I think a teacher should have the kind of mind which always wants to go on learning, teaching is a job at which one will never be perfect; there is always something more t

26、o learn about it. There are three principal objects of study; the subjects which the teacher is teaching; the methods by which the subjects can best be taught to the particular pupils in the class he is teaching; and by far the most importantthe children, young people, or adults to whom the subjects

27、 are to be taught. The two fundamental principles of British education today are that education is education of the whole person, and that it is best acquired through full and active co-operation between two persons, the teacher and the learner.S1 Plain-looking teachers can also be admired by their

28、students if they have _.S2 The author says it is _ that teachers be sympathetic with their students.S3 A teacher should be tolerant because humans tend to have S3(1)_ and to be S3(2)_S4 A teacher who is _ will be able to make his lessons more livelier.S5 How can a teacher acquire infinite patience?_

29、S6 Since teaching is a job no one can be perfect at, it is necessary for teachers to keep improving their knowledge of thesubjects they teach and their _S7 Teachers most important object of study is _S8 Education cannot be best acquired without _ between the teacher and the learner.PASSAGE 3Question

30、s 1to 5 are based on the following passage.The predictability of our mortality rates is something that has long puzzled social scientists. After all, there is no natural reason why 2,500 people should accidentally shoot themselves each year or why 7,000 should drown or 55,000 die in their cars. No o

31、ne establishes a quota for each type of death. It just happens that they follow a consistent pattern year after year.A few years ago a Canadian psychologist named Gerald Wilde became interested in this phenomenon. He noticed that mortality rates for violent and accidental deaths throughout the Weste

32、rn world have remained oddly static throughout the whole of the century, despite all the technological advances and increases in safety standards that have happened in that time. Wilde developed an intriguing theory called “risk homeostasis”. According to this theory, people instinctively live with

33、a certain level of risk. When something is made safer, people will get around the measure in some way to reassert the original level of danger. If, for instance, they are required to wear seat belts, they will feel safer and thus will drive a little faster and a little more recklessly, thereby stati

34、stically canceling out the benefits that the seat belt confers. Other studies have shown that where an intersection is made safer, the accident rate invariably falls there but rises to a compensating level elsewhere along the same stretch of road. It appears, then, that we have an innate need for da

35、nger.In all events, it is becoming clearer and clearer to scientists that the factors influencing our lifespan are far more subtle and complex than had been previously thought. It now appears that if you wish to live a long life, it isnt simply a matter of adhering to certain precautions eating the

36、right foods, not smoking, driving with care. You must also have the right attitude. Scientists at the Duke University Medical Center made a 15-year study of 500 person personalities and found, somewhat to their surprise, that people with a suspicious or mistrustful nature die prematurely far more of

37、ten than people with a sunny disposition. Looking on the bright side, it seems, can add years to your life span.1. What social scientists have long felt puzzled about is why _.A) the mortality rate can not be predictedB) the death toll remained stable year after yearC) a quota for each type of death

38、 has not come into beingD) people lost their lives every year for this or that reason2. In his research, Gerald Wilde finds that technological advances and increases in safety standards _.A) have helped solve the problem of so high death rateB) have oddly accounted for mortality rates in the past ce

39、nturyC) have reduced mortality rates for violent and accidental deathsD) have achieved no effect in bringing down the number of deaths3. According to the theory of “risk homeostasis”, some traffic accidents result from _.A) our innate desire for riskB) our fast and reckless drivingC) our ignorance o

40、f seat belt benefitsD) our instinctive interest in speeding4. By saying “statistically canceling out the benefits that the seat belt confers” (Para. 2), the author means_.A) wearing seat belts does not have any benefits from the statistic point of viewB) deaths from wearing seat belts are the same a

41、s those from not wearing themC) deaths from other reasons counterbalance the benefits of wearing seat beltsD) wearing seat belts does not necessarily reduce deaths from traffic accidents5. Which of the following may contribute to a longer life span?A) Showing adequate trust instead of suspicion of o

42、thersB) Eating the food low in fat and driving with great careC) Cultivating an optimistic personality and never losing heartD) Looking on the bright side and developing a balanced level of riskPASSAGE 4Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.In California the regulators, the utilities a

43、nd the governor all want the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to cap spot (現貨的) market prices. The Californians claim it will rein in outrageous prices. Federal regulators have refused. The battle is on.Governor Gray Davis says“, Im not happy with the Federal Regulatory Commission at all. Theyre

44、 living in an ivory tower. If their bills were going up like the people in San Diego, they would know that this is a real problem in the real world.”As part of deregulation, price caps were removed to allow for a free market. Timing is everything; natural gas prices had already skyrocketed. Demand w

45、as high from Californias booming economy. No new power plants had been built here in ten years, and power producers had the right to hike prices along with demand. And hike them they did.Loretta Lynch of the Public Utilities Commission says,” This commission and all of California was beating down th

46、e door of federal regulators to say “help us impose reasonable price caps to help to keep our market stable.”Federal regulators did ask for longer-term contracts between power producers and the utilities to stabilize prices. The federal commission, unavailable for comment on this story, released a r

47、ecent statement defending its position not to reregulate.Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Dec. 15, 2000“: The commissions intention is to enable the markets to catch up to current supply and demand problems and not to reintroduce command and control regulation that has helped to produce the curr

48、ent crisis.”Some energy experts believe that, without temporary price caps, the crisis will continue.Severin Borenstein of the U.C. Energy Institute says“, Some federal regulators have a blind commitment to making the market work and I think part of the problem is they really dont understand whats g

49、oing on.”Gary Ackerman of the Western Power Trading Forum says, “Hes dead wrong about that.
