Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them. It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that“ reading cannot be taught directly and schools should stop trying to do the impossible”.Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They differ in kind and function. The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read. Teaching is also public activity. It can be seen and observed.Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world of printed language. Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process is not open to public scrutiny.If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable ,what then can be done through teaching that will aid the child in the quest（探索）for knowledge? Smith has one principal rule for all teaching instruct ions. “Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children. ”When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teacher and learner fulfill them appropriately, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is eliminated. Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of leaning to read by reading.46．The problem with the reading course as mentioned in the first paragraph is that _______________.A. it is one of the most difficult school coursesB. students spend endless hours in readingC. reading tasks are assigned with little guidanceD. too much time is spent in teaching about reading47．The teaching of reading will be successful if _______________.A. teachers can improve conditions at school for the studentsB. teachers can enable students to develop their own way of readingC. teachers can devise the most efficient system for readingD. teachers can make their teaching activities observable48．The underlined word “scrutiny” most probably means“______________”.A. inquiryB. observationC. controlD. suspicion49．According to the passage, learning to read will no longer be a difficult task when ______________.A. children become highly motivatedB. teacher and learner roles are interchangeableC. teaching helps children in the search for knowledgeD. reading enr iches children’s experience50．The main idea of the passage is that ______________.A. teachers should do as little as possible in helping students learn to readB. teachers should encourage students to read as widely as possibleC. reading ability is something acquired rather than taughtD. reading is more complicated that generally believed51 According to the passage, which of the following is correct?A Help from teachers’ is the best way for student to learn reading.B Teaching differs very much from learning, which cannot be observed.C The role of teachers and learners should always be interchangeable.D The pressure will be huge if the learners play teachers’ role properly.Cloze:The sound of the rain hitting the windows wakes me up and it sound just exactly as it did 15 years ago, which reminded me of my girlhood.It was my second day of school and it was raining heavily. I could not resist the habit I had at home, so I fell asleep right at my desk. I woke up to find myself not in the classroom but carried on Dad’s back. We were 4 home. It was the last time I felt close to him.After that, he never carried me or hugged me as other fathers did to their children. I was not bothered much by this thought. I was proud of it, for I felt 7 and “grown up.” However, there were times when I felt depressed by not having sought 8 from him.One day, I was writing Chinese characters as homework. I hated doing this more than anything. Dad came and stood behind me for a moment, watching me scratching (勾抹) the paper. Then he said, “This kind of writing needs patience. Your writing is not strong enough. Press harder.”I follow his advice for the next two words, but 12 I could see little improvement, I followed my own method-the fast way. His advice did not improve my writing but our relationship. As I grew older, I found out that he had finished his 15 in Grade 6, which was the highest grade in town then, so he was considered to be a scholar. People used to ask him to write something to put on the walls, but he never felt very useful.He often said to me, “As you can see, this family is going to count on you. We are 17 to improve you anything for your future .Your have to get an education to change the life for yourself.”As a result of his expectation, I have made it through high school and through college.1 A. at B. already C. beyond D. halfway2. A. lonely B. depressed C. independent D. comfortable3. A. comfort B. help C. support D. explanation4. A. even if B. while C. as D. though5. A. schooling B. life C. hope D. expectation6. A. tired B. glad C. useless D. readyFill the blanks:Do you know why different animals or pests (昆虫) have their special colors? Colors in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.Some birds like eating locusts (蝗虫), but birds cannot e____ catch them. Why? It is because locusts change their colors t______ with the change of the colors of crops(庄稼). When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest time comes, locusts change to the same brown color as crops have. Some other pests with different colors from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives and a_____ only at night.If you study the animal life, you’ll find the main u_____ of coloring is to protect themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be easily seen by hunters (猎人). This is because they have the colors much like the trees.Have you ever noticed an even s_____ act? A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very black liquid when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over (散开), its e______ cannot find it. And it immediately swims away. So it has lived up to now t_____ it is not strong at all.Answer the questions:Yesterday the police and more than 20 volunteers started to search for the two missing teenagers, Vicky Gray and Tom Hunter, and their guide, Gavin Jones. The police said that they had disappeared during an adventure tour of Cape York Peninsula.This was the second day of the search and it was getting dark. The police were now very worried about the safety of the missing people.The police said that the search had covered a wide area, but the rainforest was thick and their work was made harder by the recent rain. Later on Chief Inspector (警官) Roger Fleet said, “The travellers had a radio with them. If they had been in trouble, they would have called us.”The travellers left Cooktown very early on Saturday morning in a Toyota car. They took a small dirt road that runs down to the Daintree River, a dangerous river full of crocodiles (鳄鱼). Chief Inspector Roger Fleet said the tourists wouldn’t have got into trouble if they h ad stayed on the main road.A photo of Vicky and Tom was found by a policeman under the “Be Careful about crocodiles” sign near the river. Why was the photo left behind? This is just one of the unanswered questions. Other questions are: Why was the Toyota parked and locked at the edge of the rainforest? The police said that the travellers had left a map of the area behind. Why? Why had someone drawn a cross on the point (地点) where the car is? Is this a sign? What does it mean? If anyone can give information or has seen these young people, contact the local police in Cooktown.99.
