2016年广东专插本考试《英语》真题(2)

Besides,it is rather unusual 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 cope with personal problems as well as 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 effectively.An advanced pupil can do advanced work.It doesn’t matter how old the child is.We expect our pupils to do their best,not their least,and we give them every encouragement to attain this goal.

Passage3

In the1960s,medical researchers Thomas Holmes and Richard Rahe developed a checklist of stressful events.They appreciated the tricky point that any major change can be stressful.Negative events like serious illness of a family member were high on the list,but so were some positive life-changing events,like marriage.When you take the Holmes-Rahe test you must remember that the score does not reflect how you deal with stress—it only shows how much you have to deal with.And we now know that the way you handle these events dramatically affects your chances of staying healthy.

By the early1970s,hundreds of similar studies had followed Holmes and Rahe. And millions of Americans who work and live under stress worried over the reports. Somehow,the research was described briefly in a memorable message.Women’s magazines ran headlines like Stress causes illness!If you want to stay physically and mentally healthy,the articles said,avoid stressful events.

But such simple advice is impossible to follow.Even if stressful events are dangerous,many—like the death of a loved one—are impossible to avoid.Moreover, any warning to avoid all stressful events is a prescription()for staying away from opportunities as well as trouble.Since any change can be stressful,a person who wanted to be completely free of stress would never marry,have a child,take a new job or move.

The notion that all stress makes you sick also ignores a lot of what we know about people.It assumes we’re all weak and passive in the face of difficulties.But what about human initiative and creativity?Many people come through periods of stress with more physical and mental energy than they had before.We also know that a long time without change or challenge can lead to boredom,and physical and mental strain.

Passage4

Even plants can run a fever,especially when they're under attack by insects or disease.But unlike humans,plants can have their temperature taken from3,000feet away-straight up.A decade ago,adapting the infrared()scanning technology developed for military purposes and other satellites,physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops to determine which ones are under attack.The goal was to let farmers precisely target pesticide()spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field …… 此处隐藏：5573字，全部文档内容请下载后查看。喜欢就下载吧 ……
