| 第1题：As the global village continues to shrink and cultures collide, it is essential for all of us to become more sensitive, more aware of, and more observant to the body language (motions/gestures) that surround us each day.And as many of us cross over cultural borders, it would be fitting for us to respect, learn, and understand more about the effective and powerful "silent language" of gestures. Without gestures, our world would be static and colorless. The social anthropologists,Edward T. Hall claims 60 percent of all our communication is nonverbal. In that case, how can we possibly communicate with one another without gestures The world is a giddy montage (蒙太奇) of vivid gestures—the ones used by traffic police, street vendors, expressway drivers, teachers, children on playground and athletes with their exuberant (热情洋溢的) hugging, clenched fists and "high fives". People all over the world use their hands, heads, and bodies to communicate expressively. Gestures and body language communicate as effectively as words—maybe even more effectively. We use gestures daily, almost instinctively, from beckoning to a waiter, or punctuating a business presentation with visual signals to airport ground attendants guiding an airline pilot into the jet-way or a parent using a whole dictionary of gestures to teach a chilD、 Gestures are woven into our social lives. The "vocabulary" of gestures can be at once informative and entertaining…but also dangerous. Gestures can be menacing, warm, instructive, or even sensuous. Bear in mind that some gestures are in general use, but there may always be exceptions. In recent years, Western and contemporary values and ideas have become more popular and have either influenced, altered, and even replaced, some of the more traditional gestures. Understanding human behavior is tricky stuff. No two people behave in precisely the same way. Nor do people from the same culture all perform exactly the same gestures and body language uniformly. For almost any gestures there will probably be a minority within a given nationality who might say, "Well, some might attach that meaning to it, but to me it means…" and then they will provide a different interpretation. In the world of gestures, the best single piece of advice is to remember the twoA’s—"ask" and be "aware". If you see a motion or gesture that is new or confusing, ask a local person what it signifies. Then, be aware of the many body signs and customs around you. What is the main purpose of the first paragraph A、To dramatize the diversity of body language. B．To emphasize the necessity of an excellent command of body language. C．To highlight the existence of body language. D．To explain the word "gesture". |

| 第2题：This summer, for the first time,EmoryCollege let freshmen pick their own roommates in an online roommate-selection system that works on the same principles as computer dating. Students, using screen names to hide their identities, posted profiles of themselves detailing personality attributes, work habits, music and food preferences, and answers to questions like whether they hoped to "do almost everything" with their roommate or "lead separate but compatible lives. " Roommate-matching is a summer ritual that plunges college housing offices into the most intimate realm of sleep patterns, cleaning habits, and noise tolerance. Online matching is on the cutting edge. Housing officials atEmory, inAtlanta, say they expect that letting students pick their own roommates will increase the likelihood of compatibility.And there’s little risk of hurt feelings if the e-mail exchanges do not lead to a match, since the initial round of contacts is done under screen names. Several studies have shown that roommates have an impact on the attitudes and social behavior of those they live with.And one recent study found that a roommate’s academic performance has a small, but statistically significant, effect on the other roommate’s grade-point average. Other studies, however, did not find that effect. The business of assigning roommates varies widely across the country.AtDavidsonCollege, the housing staff sort every freshman with careful hand-selection. TheDavidson philosophy is that roommates should be as similar as possible, while halls should be as diverse as possible. "We had a match that seemed perfect, until we discovered that one was a cattle rancher’s son and the other was a vegan (绝对素食者) ," said Ms. Kromm. "They should definitely meet, on the same hall.But we didn’t want to put them in the same room. " Occasionally, an incoming student asks to be paired with anAsian, or says she might not be able to get along with a Republican. In such cases, Ms. Kromm will remind them thatDavidson does not accept roommate preferences based on race, ethnicity, and religion. Davidson’s care in matching pays off. "ByChristmas last year, we had only four requests for roommate changes out of 480 students. " No one knows whether computer-matching works as well.But atEmory, so far, student reaction seems to be telling something: the online system is overwhelmed with clicks. If e-mail exchanges between students fail to find a match, the students involved ______.A．will end up with hurt feelings B．will stop using their screen names C．won’t feel embarrassed or discouraged D．won’t have another chance to contact others |

It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates. It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright chilD、After all, it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade! Besides, it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual ability. This is only one aspect of their total personality. We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils. To the full, not just their academic ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning. In our classrooms, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups: this gives them the opportunity to learn to co-operate, to share, and to develop leadership skills. They also learn how to cope with personal problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to analyze and evaluate, and to communicate effectively. The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teacher. Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes they work on individual tasks and assignments, and they can do this at their own speeD、They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this efficiently.An advanced pupil can do advanced work: it does not matter what age the child is.

A、argue for teaching bright and not-so-bright pupils in the same class B．recommend pair work and group work for classroom activities C．offer advice on the proper use of the library D．emphasize the importance of appropriate formal classroom teaching |
