Imagine a school that expected its students to become literate(有读写能力的) without any formal instruction. Most parents would be alarmed by such an approach, which would leave their children confused and with gaps in their understanding. This however has been the philosophy on character development in many of our schools. Why is the development of character seen as somehow different from the other skills that we teach?

Of course there will always be learning by osmosis(耳濡目染)in any school, but as a teacher and primary school head I have found that a child's moral literacy is strengthened when they acquire the building blocks of good character such as consideration, courage and honor: qualities which are commonly known as virtue(美德).

I personally find that exploring a virtue over a two-week period provides a simple and effective program that allows for the creative input of both teacher and student and a chance for the virtue to embed(使融入)itself. Once a lesson on a virtue such as honesty has been completed we need to allow time for children to practice this concept just as would be the case with fractions or verbs. Allowing children to role play a situation such as making up excuses to cover a mistake can be enormously interesting, and the drama can be frozen allowing the characters to be questioned about their feelings and motives. It's also a safe way for children to experience for themselves how a lie usually goes out of control.

Our role as educators is also to look for opportunities to help our students as they attempt to strengthen their characters. When something goes wrong we guide the young person to the virtue that will prevent it from happening again. For instance, when am student thoughtlessly disturbs the calm atmosphere of the library, instead of a response such as, ""that was really disrespectful and selfish of you!"" we draw out from them the required virtue: ""When you're walking through the library, what virtues do you need to use?""

1. Which of the following is the main idea of this passage?{A; B; C}

A. Teaching morals and values has been a frequently discussed topic in the past few years.

B. The author and his staff embed virtues into lessons and school life to encourage character development in children.

C. the approach to character education is generally considered different from the approaches to other skills

A. study

B. subject

C. viewpoint

4. The author is a {A; B; C}.

A. teacher

B. librarian

C. reporter

5. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as a way to build character in children?{A; B; C}

Questions are based on the following passage.For years, high school students have received

Questions are based on the following passage.

For years, high school students have received identical textbooks as their classmates.Even asstudents have different learning styles and abilities, they are force-fed the same materials."Imagine adigital textbook where because I"m adifferent person and learn differently, my book is different thanyour book," said Richard Baraniuk, founder of OpenStax.

OpenStax will spend two years developing the personalized books and then test them on Houston-area students.The books will also go through a review and evaluation process similar to traditionaltextbooks.Baranluk expects 60 people to review each book before publication to ensure its quality.The idea is to make learning easier, so students can go on to more successful careers and lives.

Baraniuk isn"t just reproducing physical textbooks on digital devices, a mistake e-book publishers havemade.He"s seriously rethinking that the educational experience should be in a world of digital tools.Todo this means involving individuals with skills traditionally left out of the textbook business.Baraniuk iscurrently hiring cognitive scientists and machine learning experts.Baraniuk wants to use the tactics of Google, Netfllx and Amazon to deliver a personalized experience.These Web services all rely oncomplex algorithms (算法) to automatically adjust their offerings for customers.Just as Netlix recommends different movies based on your preferences and viewing history, a textbook might present materials at a different pace.The textbook——which will be stored on a range of digital devices——will automatically adjust itself thanks to machine learning.As a student learns about a topic, he or she could be interrupted by brief quizzes that evaluate, whether he or she masters the area.Depending on how the student does, the subject could be reinforce~l with more material.Or a teacher could be automatically e-mailed that the student is struggling with a certain concept and could use some one-on-one attention.This personalized learning experience is possible thanks to the wealth of data a digital textbook cantrack.This data can be used to better track students" progress during a course.Parents and teacherscan monitor a student"s development and provide in time more proper assistm ce.With personalizedlearning methods, our students" talents will be better developed.

What do we learn about personalized books? 查看材料

A.Their quality will be ensured since they are developed by OpenStax.

B.They will be examined and judged before being published.

C.They will overlook different learning styles and abilities.

D.They will be much similar to traditional textbooks.

第二篇Milosevic’s Death Former Yugoslav leader Slobodan Milosevic was found dead last Sa

第二篇Milosevic’s Death

Former Yugoslav leader Slobodan Milosevic was found dead last Saturday in his cell at the Hague-based International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia.The 64-year-old had been on trial there since February 2002.

Born in provincial Pozarevac in 1941,he was the second son of a priest and a school teacher.Both of his parents died when he was still a young adult.The young Milosevic was“untypical”,says Slavoljub Djukic,his unofficial biographer.He was“not interested in sports,avoided excursions(短途旅行)and used to come to school dressed in the old-fashioned way-white shirt and tie.”One of his old friends said,he could“imagine him as a station-master or punctilious(一丝不苟的)civil servant.”职称英语教材

Indeed that is exactly what he might have become,had he not married Mira.She was widely believed to be his driving force.

At university and beyond he did well.He worked for various firms and was a communist party member.By 1986 he was head of Serbia’s Central Committee.But still he had not yet really been noticed.

It was Kosovo that gave him his chance.An autonomous province of Serbia,Kosovo was home to an Albanian majority and a Serbian minority.In 1989,he was sent there to calm fears of Serbians who felt they were discriminated against.But instead he played the nationalist card and became their champion.In so doing,he changed into a ruthless (无情的) and determined man.At home with Mira he plotted the downfall of his political enemies.Conspiring(密谋)with the director of Serbian TV,he mounted a modern media campaign which aimed to get him the most power in the country.

He was elected Serbian president in 1990.In 1997,he became president of Yugoslavia.The rest of the story is well-known:his nationalist card caused Yugoslavia’s other ethnic groups to fight for their own rights,power and lands.Yugoslavia broke up when four of the six republics declared independence in 1991.War started and lasted for years and millions died.Then Western countries intervened.NATO bombed Yugoslavia,and he eventually stepped down as state leader in 2000.

Soon after this,Serbia’s new government,led by Zoran Djindjic,arrested him and sent him to face justice at the Yugoslav war crimes tribunal in the Hague.

36.Where did Milosevic die?

A.In a basement.

B.In a prison.

C.In Kosovo.

D.In his own country.

第10题
There is a great concern in Europe and North America about declining standards of literacy
in schools. In Britain, the fact that 30 percent of 16 year old have a reading age of 14 or less has helped to prompt massive educational changes. The development of literacy has far-reaching effects on general intellectual development and thus anything which impedes the development of literacy is a serious matter for us all. So the hunt is on for the cause of the decline in literacy. The search so far has forced on socioeconomic factors, or the effectiveness of "traditional" versus "modem" teaching techniques.

The fruitless search for the cause of the increase in illiteracy is a tragic example of the saying "They can't see the wood for the trees". When teachers use picture books, they are simply continuing a long-establisbed tradition that is accepted without question. And for the past two decades, illustrations in reading primers have become increasingly detailed and obtrusive, while language has become impoverished -- sometimes to the point of extinction.

Amazingly, there is virtually no empirical evidence to support the use of illustrations in teaching reading. On the contrary, a great deal of empirical evidence shows that pictures interfere in a damaging way with all aspects of learning to read. Despite this, from North America to the Antipodes, the first books that many school children receive are totally without text.

A teacher's main concern is to help young beginning readers to develop not only the ability to recognize words, but the skills necessary to understand what these words mean. Even if a child is able to read aloud fluently, he or: she may not be able to understand much of it: this is called "barking at text". The teacher's task of improving comprehension is made harder by influences outside the classroom. But the adverse effects of such things as television, video games, or limited language experiences at home, can be offset by experiencing "rich" language at school.

Instead, it is not unusual for a book of 30 or more pages to have only one sentence full of repetitive phrases. The artwork is often marvellous, but the pictures make the language redundant, and the children have no need to imagine anything when they read such books. Looking at a picture actively prevents children younger than nine from creating a mental image, and can make it difficult for older children. In order to learn how to comprehend, they need to practise making their own meaning in response to text. They need to have their innate powers of imagination trained.

As they grow older, many children turn aside from books without pictures, and it is a situation made more serious as our culture becomes more visual. It is hard to wean children off picture books when pictures have played a major part throughout their formative reading experiences, and when there is competition for their attention from so many other sources of entertainment. The least intelligent are most vulnerable, but tests show that even intelligent children are being affected. The response of educators has been to extend use of pictures in books and to simplify the language, even at senior levels. The Universities of Oxford and Cambridge recently held joint conferences to discuss the noticeably rapid decline in literacy among their undergraduates.

Pictures are also used to help motivate children to read because they are beautiful and eye-catching. But motivation to read should be provided by listening to stories well read, where children imagine in response to the story. Then, as they start to read, they have this experience to help them understand the language. If we present pictures to save children the trouble of developing these creative skills, then I think we are making a great mistake.

Academic journals ranging from educational research, psychology, language learning, psycholinguistics, and so on cite experime

A.they read too loudly

B.there are too many repetitive words

C.they are discouraged from using their imagination

D.they have difficulty assessing its meaning

第11题
During the adolescence, the development of political ideology becomes apparent in the indi
vidual: ideology here is defined as the presence of roughly consistent attitudes, more or less organized in reference to a more encompassing set of general principles. As such, political ideology is dim or absent at the beginning of adolescence. Its acquisition by the adolescent, in even the most modest sense, requires the acquisition of relatively sophisticated cognitive skills; the ability to manage abstractness, to synthesize and generalize, to imagine the future. These are accompanied by a steady advance in the ability to understand principles.

The child's rapid acquisition of political knowledge also promotes the growth of political ideology during adolescence. By knowledge I mean more than the dull "facts" such as the composition of country government, that the child is exposed to in the conventional ninth-grade school course. Nor do I mean only information on current political realities. These are facts of knowledge, but they are less critical than the adolescent's absorption of a feeling for those many unspoken assumptions about the political system that comprise the common ground of understanding, for example, what the state can "appropriately" demand of its citizens, and vice versa, or the "proper" relationship of government to subsidiary social institutions, such as the schools and churches. Thus, political knowledge is the awareness of social assumptions and relationships as well as of objective facts. Much of the naivete that characterizes the younger adolescent's grasp of politics stems not from an ignorance of "facts" but from an incomplete comprehension of the common conventions of the system, of which is and not customarily done, and of how and why it is or is not done.

Yet I do not want to over-emphasize the significance of increased political knowledge in forming adolescent ideology, Over the years I have become progressively disenchanted about the centrality of such knowledge and have come to believe that much current work in political socialization, by relying too heavily on its apparent acquisition, has been misled about the tempo of political understanding in adolescence. Just as young children can count numbers in series without grasping the principle of ordination, young adolescents may have in their heads many random hits of political information without a secure understanding of those concepts that would give order and meaning to the information.

Children's minds pick up bits and pieces of data, but until the adolescent has grasped the encompassing function that concepts and principles provide, the data remain fragmented, random, disordered.

The author's primary purpose in the text is to ______.

A.clarify the kinds of understanding an adolescent must have in order to develop a political ideology

B.dispute the theory that a political ideology can be acquired during adolescence

C.explain why adolescents are generally uninterested in political arguments

D.suggest various means of encouraging adolescents to develop personal political ideologies
