hing”的态度是支持的。因此，答案选C。27、By"heldback"thewritermeansstudentsare______.A、madetoremaininthesameclassesB、forcedtostudyinthelowerclassesC、drawntotheirstudiesD、preventedfromadvancing标准答案：D知识点解析：猜词题。本题的问题是：作者通过“heldback”想表达的意思是什么。holdback本意为“隐瞒；控制；阻碍；犹豫不决”，同样根据文章第一句话和第二句话可以看出此处holdback意为“阻止”，pre—ventfrom正合此意。“mixed—abilityteaching”对于聪明孩子并未阻止也就是说“mixed—abilityteaching”对于聪明孩子的发展并未阻止，所以答案为D。28、Thewriterarguesthatateacher’schiefconcernshouldbethedevelopmentofthestudent’s______.A、personalqualitiesandsocialskillsB、totalpersonalityC、learningabilityandcommunicativeskills.D、intellectualability标准答案：B知识点解析：细节题。本题的问题是：作者坚决主张一位教师主要应该关心学生哪方面的发展。由concern和development可以定位到文章第二段第三句"Weareconcernedtodeveloptheabilitiesofallourpupilstothefull，notjusttheiracademicability．"我们要关注学生所有方面能力的发展，并不仅仅是学术上的能力。由第二段第二句“Thisisonlyoneaspectoftheirtotalpersonality．”可以得到学生所有方面的能力即“totalpersonality”。因此，答案为B。29、Whichofthefollowingisnotmentionedinthethirdparagraph?A、Groupworkgivespupilstheopportunitytolearntoworktogetherwithothers.B、Pupilsalsolearntodeveloptheirreasoningabilities.C、Groupworkprovidespupilswiththeopportunitytolearntobecapableorganizers.D、Pupilsalsolearnhowtoparticipateinteachingactivities.标准答案：D知识点解析：细节题。本题的问题是：第三段没有提到什么。因此需要仔细阅读第三段。第二句话“Thepupilsoftenworkingroups：thisgivesthemtheopportunitytolearntocooperate，toshare，andtodevelopleadershipskills．”指出经常以小组学习的学生们可以有机会学会合作、分享，以及培养领导能力。由此，可以分别对应到选项A、C。第三句话“Theyalsolearnhowtocopewithpersonalproblemsaswellaslearninghowtothink，…”指出学生们以小组学习可以学到如何处理个人问题，而且还可以学会如何思考，可与选项B“reasoningabilities”思考能力相对应。所以，通过排除可以得到本题答案为D。文中只是说"Thepupilslearnfromeachotheraswellasfromtheteacher．"而非“participateinteachingactivities”。30、Thewriter’spurposeinwritingthispassageisto______.A、argueforteachingbrightandnot-so-brightpupilsinthesameclassB、recommendpairworkandgroupworkforclassroomactivitiesC、offeradviceontheproperuseofthelibraryD、emphasizetheimportanceofappropriateformalclassroomteaching标准答案：D知识点解析：主旨题。本题的问题是：作者写这篇文章的目的是什么。文章第一段以“mixed—abilityteaching”这一有利于学生发展的教学方法引出提升学生能力的话题：接着第二段提到学生能力的提升不仅仅是智力方面的提高，而是要全方面提升；第三段便举出课堂上提升能力的一种教学方法groupwork；最后一段作者提出学生学习还可以通过workinpairs、workonindividualtasksandassign—ments等其他formalclassteachingwhenthisisappropriate．目的就在于Weexpectourpupilstodotheirbest，nottheirleast，andwegivethemeveryencouragementtoattainthisgoal．通过文章脉络整理得到本题答案为D。Therewasatimeinmylifewhenbeautymeantsomethingspecialtome.IguessthatwouldhavebeenwhenIwasaboutsixorsevenyearsold,justseveralweeksormaybeamonthbeforetheorphanageturnedmeintoanoldman.Iwouldgetupeverymorningattheorphanage,makemybedjustlikethelittlesoldierthatIhadbecomeandthenIwouldgetintooneofthetwostraightlinesandmarchtobreakfastwiththeothertwentyorthirtyboyswhoalsolivedinmydormitory.AfterbreakfastoneSaturdaymorningIreturnedtothedormitoryandsawthehouseparentchasingthebeautifulmonarchbutterflieswholivedbythehundredsinthebushesscatteredaroundtheorphanage.Icarefullywatchedashecaughtthesebeautifulcreatures,oneafteranother,andthentookthemfromthenetandthenstuckstraightpinsthroughtheirheadandwings,pinningthemontoaheavycardboardsheet.Howcruelitwastokillsomethingofsuchbeauty.Ihadwalkedmanytimesoutintothebushes,allbymyselfJustsothebutterfliescouldlandonmyhead,faceandhands,soIcouldlookatthemupclose.Whenthetelephonerangthehouseparentlaidthelargecardboardpaperdownonthebackcementstepandwentinsidetoanswerthephone.Iwalkeduptothecardboardandlookedattheonebutterflywhohehadjustpinnedtothelargepaper.ItwasstillmovingaboutsoIreacheddownandtoucheditonthewingcausingoneofthepinstofalloutfitstartedflyingaroundandaroundtryingtogetawaybutitwasstillpinnedbytheonewingwiththeotherstraightpin.Finallyitswingbrokeoffandthebutterflyfelltothegroundandjusttrembled.IpickedupthetornwingandthebutterflyandIspatonitswingandtriedtogetittostickbackonsothatitcouldflyawayandbefreebeforethehouseparentcameback.Butitwouldnotstayonhim.31、Theauthorsetthelivingbutterflyfreebecause______.A、helikeditverymuchB、hehadsympathyforthebeautifulbutterflyC、hecouldn’tbearabutterflydyinginhisfavoritebushesD、itswingbrokeoff标准答案：B知识点解析：细节题。本题的问题是：作者为什么把还活着的蝴蝶放走。文章第五段第一句Howcruelitwastokillsomethingofsuchbeauty．作者觉得杀死如此漂亮的蝴蝶的做法非常的残忍．由此可以看出作者对美丽的蝴蝶非常的同情．因此答案为B。32、Accordingtothepassage,theauthor’slifeintheorphanagewas______.A、dullandfullofstrictrulesB、simpleandeasyC、happyandfullofhopeD、hardandbusy标准答案：A知识点解析：细节题。本题的问题是：根据文章，作者在孤儿院的生活是怎样的。通过文章第二段Iwouldgetupeverymorningattheorphanage，makemybedjustlikethelittlesoldierthatIhadbecomeandthenIwouldgetintooneofthetwostraightlinesandmarchtobreakfastwiththeothertwentyorthirtyboyswhoalsolivedinmydormitory．可以知道作者每天像个小军人一样早上起床叠被、排队吃饭然后再和其他一起住的二三十个孩子们一起回到宿舍，这样像军人的生活应该是fullofstrictrules。因此，答案为A。33、Whatistheauthor’sattitudetowardsthehouseparent’spinningsomebutterfliesonthecardboard?A、Tolerant.B、Unconcerned.C、Disgusted.D、Discouraged.标准答案：C知识点解析：态度题。本题的问题是：孤儿院管理员把一些蝴蝶钉在纸板上，作者对此的态度是什么。同样，文章第五段第一句Howcruelitwastokillsomethingofsuchbeauty．“cruel”显示出作者对于pinningsomebutterfliesonthecardboard这种杀死蝴蝶的做法非常的厌恶。因此，答案为C。34、Weknowfromthepassagethat______.A、theauthorlivedaloneinthedormitoryB、therewereonehundredbutterflie
