国家保健中心由中央政府直接负责，但由地方当局管理。建立国家保健中心的最初目的是为农村居民提供免费的根本安康护理，尤其儿童、孕妇等可享受免费治疗。41.C。细节理解题。根据最后一自然段最后一句可知，建立国家保健中心的最初目的是为农村居民提供免费的根本安康护理，而不是针对所有的人，所以前两项错误。42.C。细节理解题。根据第4自然段“TheNHSisthebiggestemployerinEurope…〞可知。从第二自然段第一句可以看出国家保健中心由中央政府直接负责，但由地方当局管理，所以A项错误。43.B。细节理解题。根据最后一自然段话“andencouragingGPstopeteforpatients〞可知政府鼓励全科医生之间相互竞争，而不是让他们进展竞赛，看谁的医术高明。44.D。猜想词义题。前面提到医生开药方及给病人治疗牙病需要收费，再结合but一词可推断儿童、孕妇等可享受免费治疗。45.D。细节理解题。根据最后一自然段最后一句可知。B〔words:281&217〕Solongasteachersfailtodistinguishbetweenteachingandlearning,theywillcontinuetoundertaketodoforchildrenthatwhichonlychildrencandoforthemselves.Teachingchildrentoreadisnotpassingreadingontothem.Itiscertainlynotendlesshoursspentinactivitiesaboutreading.Douglasinsiststhat“readingcannotbetaughtdirectlyandschoolsshouldstoptryingtodotheimpossible〞.Teachingandlearningaretwoentirelydifferentprocesses.Theydifferinkindandfunction.Thefunctionofteachingistocreatetheconditionsandtheclimatethatwillmakeitpossibleforchildrentodevisethemostefficientsystemforteachingthemselvestoread.Teachingisalsopublicactivity.Itcanbeseenandobserved.Learningtoreadinvolvesallthateachindividualdoestomakesenseoftheworldofprintedlanguage.Almostallofitisprivate,forlearningisanoccupationofthemind,andthatprocessisnotopentopublicscrutiny.Ifteacherandlearnerrolesarenotinterchangeable,whatthencanbedonethroughteachingthatwillaidthechildinthequest〔探索〕forknowledge"Smithhasoneprincipalruleforallteachinginstructions.“Makelearningtoreadeasy,whichmeansmakingreadingameaningful,enjoyableandfrequente*perienceforchildren.〞Whentherolesofteacherandlearnerareseenforwhattheyare,andwhenbothteacherandlearnerfulfillthemappropriately,thenmuchofthepressureandfeelingoffailureforbothiseliminated.Learningtoreadismadeeasierwhenteacherscreateanenvironmentwherechildrenaregiventheopportunitytosolvetheproblemofleaningtoreadbyreading.46．Theproblemwiththereadingcourseasmentionedinthefirstparagraphisthat_______________.A.itisoneofthemostdifficultschoolcoursesB.studentsspendendlesshoursinreadingC.readingtasksareassignedwithlittleguidanceD.toomuchtimeisspentinteachingaboutreading47．Theteachingofreadingwillbesuccessfulif_______________.A.teacherscanimproveconditionsatschoolforthestudentsB.teacherscanenablestudentstodeveloptheirownwayofreadingC.teacherscandevisethemostefficientsystemforreadingD.teacherscanmaketheirteachingactivitiesobservable48．Theunderlinedword“scrutiny〞mostprobablymeans“______________〞.A.inquiryB.observationC.controlD.suspicion49．Accordingtothepassage,learningtoreadwillnolongerbeadifficulttaskwhen______________.A.childrenbeehighlymotivatedB.teacherandlearnerrolesareinterchangeableC.teachinghelpschildreninthesearchforknowledgeD.readingenricheschildren’se*perience50．Themainideaofthepassageisthat______________.A.teachersshoulddoaslittleaspossibleinhelpingstudentslearntoreadB.teachersshouldencouragestudentstoreadaswidelyaspossibleC.readingabilityissomethingacquiredratherthantaughtD.readingismoreplicatedthatgenerallybelieved【答案与解析】46—50DBBAC本文是一篇议论文，在对传统的阅读教学方式进展批判的同时，论述了作者自己阅读的教学观：阅读的教与学是两个完全不同的过程。教学的任务是为学生能够找出自己最有效的自学阅读的方法创造条件和气氛。学生的阅读能力并不是通过教师教就能掌握的；教师应做的是给学生创造一个好的环境和条件，激发学生阅读的渴望，培养出良好的阅读习惯、方法。只有这样，学生才能掌握阅读技能，提高阅读水平。46．D。推理判断题。依据文章第一自然段第3行“Itiscertainlynotendlesshoursspentinactivitiesaboutreading..〞〔教学生如何阅读当然不是带着学生花费大量的时间去一点一点地读〕。可以看出，作者认为现在教阅读的时间太多了，这当然是因为教而不教法。所以选项D正确。47．B。细节理解题。依据文章第二自然段第2行开场的句子：“Thefunctionofteachingistocreatetheconditionsandtheclimatethatwillmakeitpossibleforchildrentodevisethemostefficientsystemforteachingthemselvestoread〞〔教学的任务是为学生能够找出自己最有效的自学阅读的方法创造条件和气氛〕，B项符合上述意思，为正确答案。48．B。意义猜想题。该题为猜想词义。inquiry“询问〞。observation“观察〞。control“控制〞。suspicion“疑心〞。该词出现在第三自然段最后一句“processisnotopentopublicscrutiny〞，考生可从该句的上文作出推测。最明显的提示出现在第二自然段最后一句“Teachingisalsoapublicactivity；itcanbeseenandobserved〞所以，scrutiny最可能的词义应该是observation，故B项正确。49．A。细节理解题。依据文章第四自然段、第五自然段所提供的信息，特别是第5段第3行“Learningtoreadismadeeasierwhenteacherscreateanenvironmentwherechildrenaregiventheopportunitytosolvetheproblemoflearningtoreadbyreading〞〔当教师们创造了一种环境，使孩子们有时机自己通过阅读解决所遇到的问题时，学习阅读就变得容易多了〕，可以看出A项与之最为相近。50．C。主旨大意题。依据文章第一自然段第4行“readingcannotbetaughtdirectlyand…〞说明学生的阅读能力并不是通过教师教就能掌握的。教师应做的是给学生创造一个好的环境和条件，激发学生阅读的渴望，培养出良好的阅读习惯、方法。只有这样，学生才能掌握阅读技能，提高阅读水平。所以选项C正确。其他选项与文章讨论的*围不符。C〔words:348&282〕TAIBEI－IncreasingnumbersofTaiwanesestudentsarejoiningtheisland’s“Chinarush〞,seekingeducationontheChinesemainland．AccordingtoofficialChinesefigures,thenumberofTaiwanesestudentsadmittedintocollegeandpostgraduate〔研究生〕programsonthemainlandtotaled461in1996,928in1997and839in1998．Althoughnolatestofficialnumberswereavailable,〞Netbig.Saidthisnumberhadrisenbetween30to50percentannuallyinthepasttwoyearswithwellover1000enteringmainlandcampuseslastyear.TheInternetsite,basedintheChinesecityofShenzhen,provideseducationserviceandinformationonChinesemainlandcollegeanduniversities.“ManyTaiwanesebelieveaChineseeducationgivingmoreknowledgeaboutthepeopleandcultureinthemainlandwillincreasetheirchancesintheChinesejobmarket,Net.vice-presidentIngridHuangsaid．“Ibelieveitwillgivemehands-one*perienceinthebusiness
