Ⅱ. Reading Comprehension
Passage 1
Teaching children to read well from the start is the most important task of elementary schools. But relying on educators to approach this task correctly can be a great mistake. Many schools continue to employ instructional methods that have been proven ineffective. The staying power of the “look-say” or “whole-word” method of teaching beginning reading is perhaps the most flagrant example of this failure to instruct effectively.
The whole-word approach to reading stresses the meaning of words over the meaning of letters, thinking over decoding, developing a sight vocabulary of familiar words over developing the ability to unlock the pronunciation of unfamiliar words. It fits in with the self-directed, “learning how to learn” activities recommended by advocates (倡导者)of “open” classrooms and
D. see through
with the concept that children have to be developmentally ready to begin reading. Before 1963, no major publisher put out anything but these “Run-Spot-Run” readers.
However, in 1955, Rudolf Flesch touched off what has been called “the great debate” in beginning reading. In his best-seller Why Johnny Can’t Read, Flesch indicted(控诉)the nation’s public schools for miseducating students by using the look-say method. He said—and more scholarly studies by Jeane Chall and Rovert Dykstra later confirmed—that another approach to beginning reading, founded on phonics(语音学), is far superior.
Systematic phonics first teaches children to associate letters and letter combinations with sounds; it then teaches them how to blend these sounds together to make words. Rather than building up a relatively limited vocabulary of memorized words, it imparts a code by which the pronunciations of the vast majority of the most common words in the English language can be learned. Phonics does not devalue the importance of thinking about the meaning of words and sentences; it simply recognizes that decoding is the logical and necessary first step.
31. The author feels that counting on educators to teach reading correctly is___________. A. only logical and natural C. probably a mistake
B. the expected position
D.merely effective instruction
32. The author indicts the look-say reading approach because___________.
A. it overlooks decoding
B. Rudolf Flesch agrees with him
C. he says it is boring
D. many schools continue to use this method
33. One major difference between the look-say method of learning reading and the phonics method is__________.
A. look-say is simpler
B. phonics takes longer to learn
C. look-say is easier to teach
D. phonics gives readers access to far more words
34. The phrase “touch off” (Line 1, Para.3) most probably means________. A. talk about shortly B. start or cause C. compare with D. oppose 35. According to the author, which of the following statements is true? A. Phonics approach regards whole-word method as unimportant. B. The whole-word approach emphasizes decoding.
C. In phonics approach, it is necessary and logical to employ decoding.
D. Phonics is superior because it stresses the meaning of words thus the vast majority of most common words can be learned.
Passage 2
It is not often realized that women held a high place in southern European societies in the 10th and 11th centuries. As a wife, the woman was protected by the setting up of a dowry (嫁妆). Admittedly, the purpose of this was to protect her against the risk of desertion, but in reality its function in the social and family life of the time was much more important. The dowry was the wife’s right to receive a tenth of all her husband’s property. The wife had the right to withhold consent, in all transactions the husband would make, and more than just a right; the documents
show that she enjoyed a real power of decision, equal to that of her husband. In no case do the documents indicate any degree of difference in the legal status of husband and wife.
The wife shared in the management of her husband’s personal property, but the opposite was not always true. Women seemed perfectly prepared to defend their own inheritance against husbands who tried to exceed their rights, and on occasion they showed a fine fighting spirit. A case in point is that of Maria Vivas. Having agreed with her husband Miro to sell a field she had inherited, for the needs of the household, she insisted on compensation. None being offered, she succeeded in dragging her husband to the scribe to have a contract duly drawn up assigning her a piece of land from Miro’s personal inheritance. The unfortunate husband was obliged to agree, as the contract says, “for the sake of peace.” Either through the dowry or through being hot-tempered, the wife knew how to win herself, with the context of the family, a powerful economic position. 36. Originally, the purpose of a dowry is to_________.
A. give a woman the right to receive all her husband’s property B. help a woman to enjoy a higher position in the family C. protect a woman against the risk of desertion D. both A and C
37. According to the passage, the legal status of the wife in marriage was__________. A. higher than that of a single woman B. higher than that of her husband C. lower than that of her husband D. the same as that of her husband
38. Why does the author give us the example of Maria Vivas?
A. To show that the wife shared in the management of her husband’s personal property. B. To show that the wife can defend her own inheritance. C. To prove that women have powerful position.
D. To illustrate how women win her property.
39. The compensation Maria Vivas got for the field is____________. A. some of the land Miro had inherited B. a tenth of Miro’s land
C. money for household expenses
D. money form Miro’s inheritance
40. The author’s attitude towards Maria Vivas is_____________. A. sympathetic
B. disapproval
C. indifferent
D. objective
Passage 3
There are many ways of defining success. It is accurate to say that each of us has our own concept of success to the extent that each of us is responsible for setting our own goals and determining whether we have met these goals satisfactorily. Because each of us possesses unique differences in genetic ability and favorable environments in which to express these abilities, it is necessarily true that we must define success broadly.
For some people, simply being able to live their life with a minimum of misery and suffering is considered a success. Think of the peace of mind of the poor shepherd who tends his sheep, enjoys his frugal life with his family in the beauty of nature, and who is respected because he does a good job of achieving the goals expected of and accepted by him and his society. On the other
