第二部分　阅读(共两节，满分50分)

第一节：阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分，满分40分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。

A

Children's books or children's literature is very hard to define and categorise, because there is no set genre for children to enjoy. All in all they can be categorised into six major classes, namely early childhood picture books, traditional literature, fiction, non­fiction, biography and poetry.

Children have unique taste and interest. Although Harry Potter may be an all­time favourite book for children all over the globe，they prefer funny books to fairy tales when it comes to bedtime. The top three favourite books in bedtime stories are The Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler，The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Erie Carle and The BFG by Roald Dahl.

There are many writers who popularized the children's literature or children's books through their brilliant works. John Amos Comenius is the author of Orbis Pictus which is considered to be the first picture book specifically for children. Charles Perrault is believed to be the one who laid the foundations of fairy tales.  Perrault's stories include Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and so on. Hans Christian Anderson is best known for his fairy tales, such as The Snow Queen, The Little Mermaid and The Emperor's New Clothes.

Many children's books have been made into feature films and are equally successful in this medium, like Alice in Wonderland, the BFG series and the Harry Porter series. These series collected a huge amount of money when released worldwide in cinema halls. All these movies based on popular children's books are not only popular among children but also popular among adult audiences.

Children's books are in demand all over the world and more and more writers and authors are coming up with some new books. The potential market is immense because children are more into reading in this era than previous and they are enjoying it to the fullest.

语篇解读：本文介绍了儿童图书的分类、著名儿童作家及其作品，其中有些作品已经被改编成了电影。在体裁上，本文属于说明文的范畴，作者旨在让读者了解这方面的知识。

26.Before going to sleep children like to enjoy________.

A.fairy tales　  B.non­fiction

A.Adults seem not to like them at all.

B.They bring in a lot of money.

C.They are very popular with children.

解析：判断是非题。文章第四段中交代了很多儿童书被改编成了电影，而根据该段最后一句“All these movies based on popular children's books are not only popular among children but also popular among adult audiences”可知，成人也喜欢这些电影。

解析：标题选择题。文章介绍了很多儿童书籍被改编成电影的情况以及儿童书籍未来的发展潜力等，这些都表明了儿童书籍很流行。故D项符合题意。

答案：D

B

Children who are taught by the best teachers learn twice as fast as those with poor teachers，Prof. Dylan William says. Which school a child attends therefore matters much less than which teachers they have. A simple method of providing continuous feedback(反馈)on pupils' performance is far more effective(有效的) than providing whiteboards, expensive computer equipment or even reducing class sizes. In some cases, money spent on these things could be money wasted, if teachers do not change the way they teach.

He said earlier studies showed that the reduction of class sizes from 30 to 20 did not change teaching methods, and therefore the huge increase in spending it would require was not effective.

“I'm in favor of cost­benefit analyses”， he said. “Any measures must be thought about. Education is expensive. I want children to have nice buildings and computers. But we need to look at how we can spend this money effectively. ”To illustrate this idea, he said that if 60 pupils were taught in three classes of 20 pupils instead of two classes of 30, it would create 150,000 extra classes and teaching spots to fill in England. At a cost of around  ￡20,000 per class，the potential benefits should be weighed up against the cost.

Prof William said extra training would be needed in how to give continuous, immediate feedback. One way of providing such continuous feedback is to use a “traffic light” system, he says.

Pupils show a green light if they have understood what has been taught, a yellow one for partial understanding and a red one if they do not understand.

This way，Prof William says，a teacher can find out how many students are following the lesson, and at what speed to take the class.

A spokesperson said Assessment for Learning(AfL) could bring “important benefits”. “We introduced AfL into our National Strategy in 2009, and want it to be_rolled_out everywhere. We believe it helps improve good practice and  track pupils' progress.”

语篇解读：虽然很多学校都配备了电脑、多媒体等现代化的教学设施，但如果不改变老师们的教学方式，结果只能是造成资源浪费。

31.In the opinion of William, how to make education effective?

A.By giving students constant and quick feedback.

B.By reducing the size of a class.

C.By equipping the classroom with computers.

D.By having nice school buildings.

解析：细节理解题。根据第一段的“A simple method of providing continuous feedback on pupils' performance is far more effective than providing whiteboards, expensive computer equipment or even reducing class sizes”可知A项正确，即要想使教学有成效，提供反馈是最好的方法。

答案：A

32.According to the passage, how much would be paid for extra classes?

A.￡3 billion.   B.￡45 billion.

C.￡30 billion.  D.￡30 billion.

解析：细节理解题。由文章第三段中“it would create 150,000 extra classes and teaching spots to fill in England. At a cost of around ￡20,000 per class”可知答案为A。

答案：A

33.Why did William suggest using a “traffic light” system in class?

A.To make it easier for teachers to manage students.

B.To judge how many students understand the lesson.

C.To teach students the importance of keeping traffic rules.

D.To attract the attention of students to the lesson.

解析：细节理解题。结合倒数第二段的“find out how many students are following the lesson”可知B项正确。

答案：B
