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(把……按能力分班) 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 children. After all, it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade!

Besides, it is rather unreal to grade pupils 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 deal with personal problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to analyze 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.

1．By “held back” (L.1. Para.1) the author means “__________”.

       A．made to remain in the same classes

       B．forced to study in the lower classes

       C．drawn to their studies

       A．Group work gives pupils the opportunity to learn to work together with others.

       B．Pupils also learn to develop their reasoning abilities.

       C．Group work provides pupils with the opportunity to learn to be capable organizers.

       D．Pupils also learn how to take part in teaching activities.

4．The author’s purpose in writing this passage is to ____________.

科目：高中英語 來源：山東省2009-2010學(xué)年度高一第二學(xué)期模塊考試（英語） 題型：其他題

第二節(jié)：閱讀表達(dá)（共5小題，每小題2分，滿分10分）

Would you spend more time playing outside, reading, or studying? Well, now it’s our chance to turn off your TV and find out! TV-Turnoff Week is here.

The goal of TV-Turnoff Week is to let people leave their TV sets off and participate in activities from drawing to biking. The event was founded by TV-Turnoff Network, a non-profit organization which started the event in 1995. In the beginning, only a few thousand people took part. Last year more that 7.6 million people participated, including people in every state in America and in more than 12 other countries! This is the 11 th year in which organizers are asking people to “turn off the TV and turn on life.”

According to the TV-Turnoff Network, the average kids in the US spend more time in front of the TV （about 1, 023 hours per year）than they do in school （about 900 hours per year）. Too much TV watching has made many kids      .In fact, in 2001’s TV-Turn-off week, US Surgeon General David Satcher said, “We are raising the most overweight generation of youngsters in American history. This week is about saving lives.”

Over the years, studies have shown that watching a lot of TV leads to poor eating habits, too little exercise, and violence. Frank Vespe of the TV-Turnoff Network said that turning off the TV “ is , or should be ,part of a healthy lifestyle.”

“One of the great lessons of participating in TV-Turnoff Week is the realization that every time I turn on the TV, I’m deciding not to do something else,” Vespe said.

TV-Turnoff Week seems to be making a difference. Recent US Census （人口普查）data shows that about 72 percent of kids under 12 have a limit on their TV time. That’s up from about 63 percent ten years ago.

81．What’s the best title of the passage? （Please answer within 10 words）

_______________________________________________________________________________

82．Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?

According to many studies, spending too much time in front of TV has many bad results.

_______________________________________________________________________________

83．Please fill in the blank in the third paragraph with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence. （Please answer within 10 words）

_______________________________________________________________________________

84．Can you think of other bad results of watching too much TV? （Please answer within 30 words）
