13.Primary schools could be told to remove some traditional subject-based lessons and replace them with"personal development"classes to encourage children to improve their social and practical skill.Parents,teachers and pupils,who took part in the investigation carried out for the biggest ever official review of the primary curriculum,argued that the number of subjects taught to very young people should be reduced.
The review,being conducted by the government's school's director Sir Jim Rose,will consider how to redesign the primary school day to handle concerns that too many pupils leave primary school unable to read,write and do maths at the level expected of them.It will also address criticisms that pupils are expected to study so many subjects there is little time for creative learning.
The 60focus groups brought together 1,500parents,pupils and school staff and is expected to heavily influence the thinking of the Rose review,which the government is promising to back.Instead of a broad range of subjects,pupils should study in-depth literacy and maths lessons alongside a more creative curriculum that encourages pupils to develop personal,learning and thinking skills,they say.Such lessons might include"healthy lifestyles,sex and relationships education,drugs and alcohol education".
"Child and personal development as priorities have been shamefully neglected in recent years in the rush to hit targets in the basics."John Bangs,head of education at the National Union of Teachers,said,"The worst thing would be to evaluate child development through the current high stakes testing system.That would weaken the capacity of teachers to meet children's unique needs."
However,the shadow schools minister,Nick Gibb,said,"If lessons on lifestyle are given the same status as traditional subjects,it is the most disadvantaged children who will be worst affected.""Children are not able to personally develop and succeed in the future if they don't have a grasp of basic subjects such as maths and English early on in primary school.Removing high requirement from the primary curriculum would increase the inequality gap between less well-off pupils and the rest."Nick added.A spokeswoman for the Department for Children,Schools and Families (DCSF) said,"This is a summary of stake holder's view,not the views of the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority or the DCSF,and has been submitted to Sir Jim Rose's review as evidence to consider."

62.According to the focus groups,the result of learning too many subjects is most likely to be thatD.
A.children may not have any freedom
B.children may not have enough time for personal interest
C.children may not know anything outside the classroom
D.children may not have creative ability
63.Which of the following is False about the review conducted by Sir Jim Rose?C
A.It will greatly influence the country's future primary curriculum.
B.It will remove high requirement from the primary curriculum.
C.It is supported by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority or the DCSF.
D.It needs to take fully into account varied views from the society.
64.John Bangs's attitude towards the current high stakes testing system isA.
A.negative  B.positive  C.uncertain  D.cautious
65.According to Nick Gibb,grasp of basic subjects early on in primary school is important forB.
A.the primary curriculum reform         B.children's development in the future
C.children's educational equality      D.increasing the children's confidence.

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀,作者通過這篇文章主要向我們描述了一項研究表明小學的基礎學科應當被減少,從而可以培養(yǎng)孩子的創(chuàng)造力.然而有人持有不同的觀點.

解答 62.D.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第二段的句子:It will also address criticisms that pupils are expected to study so many subjects there is little time for creative learning..可知學習太多的學科讓孩子失去創(chuàng)造力.選D.
63.C.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章最后一段This is a summary of stake holder's view,not the views of the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority or the DCSF,and has been submitted to Sir Jim Rose's review as evidence to consider.雙方的觀點不同,并非對他都表示支持.選C.
64.A.推理判斷題.文章倒數(shù)第二段的句子:The worst thing would be to evaluate child development through the current high stakes testing system.That would weaken the capacity of teachers to meet children's unique needs.可知這種高風險的測試系統(tǒng)是消極的.選A.
65.B.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章最后一段Nick Gibb的觀點"If lessons on lifestyle are given the same status as traditional subjects,it is the most disadvantaged children who will be worst affected.""Children are not able to personally develop and succeed in the future if they don't have a grasp of basic subjects such as maths and English early on in primary school.Removing high requirement from the primary curriculum would increase the inequality gap between less well-off pupils and the rest."可知他認為掌握小學的基礎學科對將來學生的發(fā)展很重要.選B.

點評 考察學生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力,做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進行比較,再做出正確的選擇.在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.

4.From the very beginning of school we make books and reading a constant source of possible failure and public humiliation.When children are little we make them read aloud,before the teacher and other children,so that we can be sure they"know"all the words they are reading.This means that when they don't know a word,they are going to make a mistake,right in front of everyone.After having taught fifth-grade classes for four years,I decided to try at all costs to rid them of their fear and dislike of books,and to get them to read oftener and more adventurously.
    One day soon after school had started,I said to them,"Now I'm going to say something about reading that you have probably never heard a teacher say before.I would like you to read a lot of books this year,but I want you to read them only for pleasure.I am not going to ask you questions to find out whether you understand the books or not.If you understand enough of a book to enjoy it and want to go on reading it,that's enough for me.Also I'm not going to ask you what words mean."
    The children sat surprised and silent.Was this a teacher talking?One girl,who had just come to us from a school where she had had a very hard time,looked at me steadily for a long time after I had finished.Then,still looking at me,she said slowly and seriously,"Mr Holt,do you really mean that?"I said just as seriously,"I mean every word of it."
    During the spring she really astonished me.One day,she was reading at her desk.From a glimpse of the illustrations I thought I knew what the book was.I said to myself,"It can't be,"and went to take a closer look.Sure enough,she was reading Moby Dick,in the edition with woodcuts.I said,"Don't you find parts of it rather heavy going?"She answered,"Oh,sure,but I just skip over those parts and go on to the next good part."
    This is exactly what reading should be and in school so seldom is,an exciting,joyous adventure.Find something,dive into it,take the good parts,skip the bad parts,get what you can out of it,go on to something else.How different is our mean-spirited,picky insistence that every child get every last little scrap of"understanding"that can be dug out of a book.
29.According to the passage,children's fear and dislike of books may result fromD.
A.reading little and thinking little      
B.reading often and adventurously
C.being made to read too much     
D.being made to read aloud before others
30.Upon hearing the teacher's talk,the children probably felt thatC.
A.it sounded stupid
B.it was not surprising at all
C.it sounded too good to be true
D.it was no different from other teachers'talk
31.Which of the following statements about the girl is TRUE according to the passage?C
A.She skipped over those easy parts while reading.
B.She had a hard time finishing the required reading tasks.
C.She learned to appreciate some parts of the difficult books.
D.She turned out to be a top student after coming to this school.
