ⅢReading Comprehension ( 30 points,2 points for each item )
从下列每篇短文的问题后所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。
Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
I began teaching at the James School twenty-two years ago when I was twenty-six. In those days the place was very different. But time changes, and of course educational theory changes, too. Methods and materials change. Even the classroom looks different.
Twenty years ago, our classroom was a lot less pleasant. Very old-fashioned. We had fewer windows, for example. There were five rows of desks, six desks in a row. Since everything was nailed to the floor, a student sat in the same place all day long. Oh, we had to be very strict. Now students move all over the room. They go to different areas for different subjects, and they write at these movable desks. The students are more mobile, and because they’re more mobile, they’re less restless, and because they’re less restless, they are more attentive. At least that’s the theoryAnd as a matter of fact, we really don’t have many behavior problems here.
We use a modified open classroom system here at the James. I’ll try to explain what that means. Each student makes a work contract with his teacher. Basically, he agrees to a certain amount of work on a certain project. He hands the work in when he gets it done. He works at his own speed and plans his own time. If he is particularly motivated in one subject—math, for instance—he can explore the subject more thoroughly than the others. But he must also complete his contract in arts or reading or social science. Freedom within a structured system: that’s what we are trying to offer.
21Now,the author of this passage must be in his .
A20’s B30’s
C40’s D50’s【 】
22Now we really do not have many behavior problems in the classroom because .
Athe students are more mobile and attentive
Bthe teachers are more strict

Dthe students are less attentive and restless【 】
23The main idea of the third paragraph is about .
Athe characteristic of the modified open classroom system
Bthe characteristic of the work contract
Cthe freedom of the students
Dthe generosity of the teachers【 】
24In a modified open classroom system, .
Athe student needn’t do any home work
Bthe student can get more freedom in their study
Cthe subject that the student should learn is decided by the teacher
Dthere is not any discipline that the student should obey【 】
25According to the author, the educational system today is .
Amore strict and attentive
Bmore pleasant and efficient
Cis similar to the educational system twenty years age
Dis satisfied by every teacher and student【 】
Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
A breakthrough in the provision of energy from the sun for the European Economic Community(EEC)could be brought forward by up to two decades, if a modest increase could be provided in the EEC’s research effort in this field, according to the senior EEC scientists engaged in experiments in solar energy at EEC’s scientific laboratories at Ispra, near Milan.
The senior West German scientist in charge of the Community’s solar energy programme, Mr.Joachim Gretz, told journalists that at present levels of research spending it was most unlikely that solar energy would provide as much as three percent of the Community’s energy requirements even after the year 2,000.But he said that with a modest increase in the present sums devoted by the EEC to this work it was possible that the breakthrough could be achieved by the end of the next decade.
26The phrase“modest increase”in the first sentence means
Aincrease in the need of energy
Bincrease in the money spent on energy
Cincrease in the effort to make the research
Dincrease in the number of scientists in the programme【 】
27The phrase“engaged in”in the first sentence most probably means .
Ataking part in Btaking in
Cinterested in Dattracted by【 】
28Some scientists believe that the most important thing for a breakthrough in the use of solar energy is .
Aadvanced technology and learned scientists
Bmore experiments and advertisement
Cresearch spending
Dwellequipped laboratories【 】
29According to Mr.Gretz, the present research spending will enable the scientists to provide .
Aless than 3% of the EEC’s needs before the year 2000
B3% of the EEC’s need before the 21st century
Ca little more than 3% of the EEC’s needs after the year 2000
DOnly 3% of the EEC’s needs in the future【 】
30We can infer from this passage .
Ajust like many other people, scientists also like money
Bmodest increase in the money for the programme will make sure for a breakthrough
Cthe scientists’ hard work is the deciding factor for the success of the programme
Da breakthrough in the research needs not only the effort of the scientists but also necessary research spending.【 】
