12月英語(yǔ)四級(jí)閱讀理解練習(xí)材料4

　　We find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed-ability teaching. On the contrary, both their knowledge and experience are enriched. We feel that there are many disadvantages in streaming pupils. 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 problem as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to analyse 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. We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every encouragement to attain this goal.

　　Passage 4

　　(16)(17)我們發(fā)現(xiàn)，聰明的孩子如果接受不按能力分班的教學(xué)，很少會(huì)因此被拖后了。相反，他們?cè)谥R(shí)和經(jīng)驗(yàn)方面都有長(zhǎng)進(jìn)。我們認(rèn)為把學(xué)生按照能力分班有很多弊端。這種做法沒(méi)有考慮到孩子們發(fā)展情形各不相同這一事實(shí)。對(duì)聰明的孩子和不太聰明的孩子都有不良影響。畢竟，在最好的那一檔里做最差的學(xué)生也夠令人氣餒了!

　　此外，只根據(jù)人的智力水平來(lái)對(duì)人進(jìn)行分類也是頗不現(xiàn)實(shí)的。這僅僅是全部人品特征的一個(gè)方面罷了。(18)我們關(guān)心的是讓所有的學(xué)生都能充分發(fā)展各方面的能力，而不僅僅是學(xué)術(shù)能力。我們也很看重個(gè)人品質(zhì)與社交技能，而我們發(fā)現(xiàn)不按能力分班的教學(xué)對(duì)學(xué)習(xí)所有這些方面都很有益。

　　在教室里，我們以不同的方式工作。(19)(A)學(xué)生們通常會(huì)以小組為單位進(jìn)行學(xué)習(xí);這樣他們便有機(jī)會(huì)學(xué)習(xí)相互合作、分享，以及(19)(C)培養(yǎng)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)技能。他們還能學(xué)到怎樣處理個(gè)人問(wèn)題，以及(19)(B)怎樣思考，怎樣作決定，怎樣分析和評(píng)價(jià)，與怎樣進(jìn)行有效的交流。學(xué)生們不僅向老師學(xué)習(xí)，也可以互相學(xué)習(xí)。

　　有時(shí)，學(xué)生們也會(huì)以結(jié)對(duì)的方式學(xué)習(xí);還有時(shí)，他們自己完成個(gè)人的任務(wù)，他們可以按照自己的速度來(lái)做。在適當(dāng)?shù)臅r(shí)候，他們也要接受正規(guī)的課堂教學(xué)。我們鼓勵(lì)學(xué)生們使用圖書館，所以我們要教他們所需的技巧，才能有效地利用好圖書館。一個(gè)先進(jìn)的學(xué)生可以做先進(jìn)的工作，而他的年齡多大并不重要。我們期望學(xué)生們可以最大限度而不是最小限度地發(fā)揮他們的能力，我們也會(huì)盡量鼓勵(lì)他們達(dá)到定目標(biāo)。

　　16、在文中，作者對(duì)“不按能力分班的教學(xué)”持_________態(tài)度。

　　A) 批判的 B)懷疑的 C)贊同的 D)客觀的

　　17、第一行的“held back”的意思是____________

　　A)可以待在同樣的班級(jí)里 B)被迫在較差的班里學(xué)習(xí)

　　C)吸引學(xué)習(xí) D)阻礙發(fā)展

　　18、作者的觀點(diǎn)是：教師主要應(yīng)關(guān)心學(xué)生___________發(fā)展

　　A)個(gè)人品質(zhì)與社交技能 B)整個(gè)人品特征

　　C)學(xué)習(xí)能力與交流能力 D)智力水平

　　19、下面哪個(gè)說(shuō)法沒(méi)有在第三段提到?

　　A) 以小組為單位進(jìn)行學(xué)習(xí)給學(xué)生們學(xué)習(xí)相互合作的機(jī)會(huì)

　　B) 學(xué)生們也要學(xué)習(xí)培養(yǎng)他們的推理能力

　　C) 以小組為單位的學(xué)習(xí)讓孩子們有機(jī)會(huì)學(xué)習(xí)怎么做一個(gè)有能力的組織者
