第一部分:阅读理解A篇——混龄教育
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中选出最佳选项。
As a fifth grade math teacher, Jenny met a problem in teaching. She noticed that some students entered her classroom at the second grade level, some were already at the eighth grade level, and then there were others in between. That is why Jenny began to take a more individualized teaching approach—mixed age classrooms.
Often found in non-traditional schools, mixed age classrooms were popular until the mid-19th century, when they were replaced by an age-centered, single-grade system. However, many schools turned to mixed age education again in the 1990s, arguing that it was more child-centered and suited students‘ development.
In mixed age classrooms, students of different ages may be in a single class together, but they are grouped by ability in different subjects. In this way, students receive education based on what they know and what they’re ready to learn next. Every child moves forward at their own pace and is not limited by their age. For example, 9- to 11-year-old children who are very good at math are given the chance to learn algebra, a subject which is not taught until the eighth grade, when students are 12 or 13.
Studies have shown that mixed age classrooms are as effective as single-grade schooling in terms of learning achievements but better in terms of social skills. That is because students are learning how to work and play with others of different ages. Older children often take on a leadership role and help guide their classmates. That can be beneficial to their social skills.
However, mixed age education also brings some challenges, especially to teachers. Teaching can be more difficult because mixed age classes tend to be larger and teachers are required to make sure that students are in the right groups. Applying such an approach to standardized learning can be difficult, though not impossible.
第31题——细节理解题
Jenny‘s problem in teaching was that her students ______.
A. came from different grades
B. were at different learning levels
C. often went to wrong classrooms
D. preferred to be in the eighth grade
答案:B
解析:题干问的是“Jenny在教学中的问题是什么?”
回原文定位第一段:“She noticed that some students entered her classroom at the second grade level, some were already at the eighth grade level, and then there were others in between.”
同一班级里,学生水平从二年级到八年级不等——问题是“不同学习水平”,不是“不同年级”(A选项是干扰项)。B选项“were at different learning levels”是原文的同义替换。
第32题——细节理解题
In the 1990s, many schools returned to mixed age education to ______.
A. gain popularity among students
B. follow education policies
C. meet students‘ development needs
D. include more students in a class
答案:C
解析:题干问的是“20世纪90年代,许多学校回归混龄教育是为了什么?”
回原文定位第二段最后一句:“many schools turned to mixed age education again in the 1990s, arguing that it was more child-centered and suited students’ development.”
“更适合学生的发展”对应C选项“meet students‘ development needs”。
第33题——细节理解题
Students in mixed age classrooms are divided according to their ______.
A. interest
B. age
C. subjects
D. abilities
答案:D
解析:题干问的是“混龄课堂中的学生按什么划分?”
回原文定位第三段第一句:“students of different ages may be in a single class together, but they are grouped by ability in different subjects.”
按能力分组,D选项“abilities”是原文原词。
第34题——段落主旨题
Paragraph 4 mainly tells us that children in mixed age classrooms ______.
A. acquire social skills better
B. achieve better learning results
C. spend more time studying
D. receive more mental guidance
答案:A
解析:题干问的是“第四段主要告诉我们什么?”
第四段第一句是段落主旨:“mixed age classrooms are as effective as single-grade schooling in terms of learning achievements but better in terms of social skills.”
A选项“acquire social skills better”是“better in terms of social skills”的同义替换。B“学习效果更好”与原文“as effective as”不符(一样好,不是更好),C和D原文未提及。
第35题——推理判断题
What is discussed about mixed age education in the last paragraph?
A. Its future.
B. Its history.
C. Its difficulties.
D. Its standards.
答案:C

第二部分:阅读理解B篇——占星师的故事
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中选出最佳选项。
A man who lived a long time ago believed that he could read the future in the stars. He called himself an astrologer. He spent his time at night watching the sky and was always busy worrying about the future. Some villagers often came to him, hoping to know what might happen to them in the future.
One evening he was walking along the open road outside the village. His eyes were fixed on the stars. He thought he saw the end of the world was near. He was lost in thought. As he was looking at the stars, he kept walking without looking down. Suddenly, he fell into a pond.
He was struggling in the water, unable to climb out. He cried for help. Hearing his cries, the villagers came up to help.
As they pulled him out of the water, one of them said, “You think you can read the future in the stars, and yet you fail to see what is at your feet. This may teach you to pay more attention to what is right in front of you, and let the future take care of itself.”
“What use is it to read the stars when you can‘t see what’s right here on the earth?” said another.
We all want our future to be bright and happy, but time doesn‘t stop for anyone. Each tomorrow turns into today, and your present is also a part of your future. There is always a tomorrow to look forward to. You can’t go back to yesterday. So, live your present life well while you work for a better tomorrow.
