Passage Two Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage. Phonics, which involves sounding out words syllable(音节) by syllable, is the best way to teach children to read. But in many classrooms, this can be a dirty word. So much so that some teachers have had to sneak phonics teaching materials into the classroom. Most American children are taught to read in a way that study after study has found to be wrong. The consequences of this are striking. Less than half of all American adults were proficient readers in 2017. American fourth graders rank 15th on the Progress in International Literacy Study, an international exam. America is stuck in a debate about teaching children to read that has been going on for decades. Some advocate teaching symbol-sound relationships (the sound k can be spelled as c, k, ck, or ch), known as phonics. Others support an immersive approach (using pictures of a cat to learn the word cat), known as “whole language”. Most teachers today, almost three out of four according to a survey by the EdWeek Research Centre in 2019, use a mix called “balanced literacy”. This combination of methods is ineffective. “You can't sprinkle in a little phonics,” says Tenette Smith, executive director of elementary education and reading at Mississippi's education department. “It has to be systematic and explicitly taught.” Mississippi, often behind in social policy, has set an example here. In a state once notorious for its low reading scores, the Mississippi state legislature passed new literacy standards in 2013. Since then Mississippi has seen remarkable gains. Its fourth graders have moved from 49th (out of 50 states) to 29th on the National Assessment of Educational Progress, a nationwide exam. In 2019 it was the only state to improve its scores. For the first time since measurement began, Mississippi's pupils are now average readers, a remarkable achievement in such a poor state. Mississippi's success is attributed to implementing reading methods supported by a body of research known as the science of reading. In 1997 Congress requested the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development and the Department of Education to convene a National Reading Panel to end the “reading wars” and synthesize the evidence. The panel found that phonics, along with explicit instruction in phonemic (音位的) awareness, fluency and comprehension, worked best. Yet over two decades on, “balanced literacy” is still being taught in classrooms. But advances in statistics and brain imaging have disproved the whole-language method. To the teacher who is a proficient reader, literacy seems like a natural process that requires educated guessing, rather than the deliberate process emphasized by phonics. Teachers can imagine that they learned to read through osmosis (潜移默化) when they were children. Without proper training, they bring this to classrooms. 51. What do we learn about phonics in many American classrooms?A) It is ill reputed.B) It is mostly misapplied.C) It is arbitrarily excluded.D) It is misrepresented. 52. What has America been witnessing for decades?A) An obsession with innovating teaching methodologies of reading.B) An enduring debate over the approach to teaching children to read.C) An increasing concern with many children's inadequacy in literacy.D) An ever-forceful advocacy of a combined method for teaching reading. 53. Why does Tenette Smith think a combination of teaching methods is ineffective?A) Elementary school children will be frustrated when taught with several methods combined.B) Phonics has to be systematically applied and clearly taught to achieve the desired effect.C) Sprinkling in a little phonics deters the progress of even adequately motivated children.D) Balanced literacy fails to sustain children's interest in developing a good reading habit. 54. What does the author say Mississippi's success is attributed to?A) Convening a National Reading Panel to synthesize research evidence.B) Placing sufficient emphasis upon both fluency and comprehension.C) Adopting scientifically grounded approaches to teaching reading.D) Obtaining support from Congress to upgrade teaching methods. 55. What have advances in statistics and brain imaging proved ineffective?A) The teaching of symbol-sound relationships.C) Efforts to end the reading wars.B) Explicit instruction in phonemic awareness.D) The immersive approach.

The vast majority of job advertisements call for "good communication skills." It is a term that is used regularly in the workplace, yet very few people understand this expression in full. Communication is interaction and is vital in business, perhaps more so than anywhere else. Communication is the thing that ensures smooth operation between staff members, employers and clients. Employers need to use excellent communication skills in order to get the very best out of their employees. Employees need to use communication skills when talking to clients as well as colleagues and employers. Communication doesn't always refer to conversation. There are many ways in which you will need to communicate whilst at work. Written communication is often forgotten about when applying for a job. Your application letter, for example, is a form of communication. This is why it is so important that it is well written and correct in grammar. At some point when working in an office environment, you will most likely have to write emails and/or letters. You should ensure that these always look and sound professional. Another form of communication is that between employees. Regardless of how good you are at your job, if you don't form at least basic relationships with those around you, it will ultimately affect your success. Bad communication leads to misunderstandings. Many employers organize social events to encourage good communication between staff members. In order for companies to succeed, communication between them and their clients has to be perfect. To ensure that business continues to flow, a company's clients have to be able to trust them implicitly. This can never be the case if there is any miscommunication. Many companies decide that it is a good idea to hire a Head of Communication. This person will be the sole point of contact for all clients. This removes any opportunity for misunderstanding as all communication runs through one person. In conclusion, communication in the workplace is a key element of any company. It ensures the smooth running of the day-to-day business and guarantees that employees feel happy and secure.1. Why is it especially important to master the communication skills in business?A) It is helpful for employers to know their employees.B) It is vital for constructing the harmonious relationship.C) It ensures the smooth operation between people concerned. D) It guarantees employees' constant improvement in business.2. Employers are advised to master excellent communication skills so that they ________.A) can make their employees more qualifiedB) can make their employees more sociableC) can make the best use of their employees D) can make the best use of their clients3. In an office environment, what will eventually influence employees' success?A) Written communication skills.B) Language competence and performance.C) The good relationship with their clients.D) The basic relationship with others around them. 4. How do many employers encourage good communication between staff members?A) By organizing social events. B) By raising the staff benefits.C) By trusting them implicitly.D) By offering them training programs.5. In many companies, a Head of Communication is hired to ________.A) improve the service qualityB) ensure the business continues to flowC) avoid any possible miscommunication D) promote the efficiency of communication不是我要搜的题？马上反馈1、C2、C3、D4、A5、C

Americans experience more food recalls (召回) today than they did five years ago, especially when it comes to meat and poultry (家禽). Meat and poultry recalls increased by two-thirds from 2013 to 2018, while food recalls overall went up 10%, according to the report recently published by the U.S. Public Interest Research Group.Meanwhile, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates (估计) 48 million people get sick, 128,000 are hospitalized and 3,000 die from food-borne disease each year in the U.S. "We are looking for the farm-to-fork preventative solutions," said Adam Garber, the research group's consumer watchdog. "By doing that, we can protect people's health."Over the five-year period, poultry posted the most recalls (168), followed by beef (137) and pork (128). The report shows the most serious meat recalls are on the rise. Among meat and poultry, the number of Class I recalls has increased by 83%, nearly doubling. Class I, the most serious of the recalls, is issued when there is a reasonable probability that the food will cause health problems or death.53. When would Class I recalls be issued?A. When the food is likely to cause health problems or death.B. When there are too many complaints from customers.C. When the food problem lasts for five years.D. When the product quality is below standard.

The Harry Potter series, written by J.K. Rowling, is perhaps the most popular set of novels of the modern era. With seven books and many successful films to its name, the series has gathered about 15 billion dollars in sales. How did the series become so popular? The reason can be broken down into several areas.The first book in the series was rejected 12 times before it was picked up by Bloomsbury—a small publisher in England. So receiving this contract was Rowling's first step to success. However, getting a book contract does not ensure the success of a book. The story was soon loved by children and adults alike. In light of this, Bloomsbury Publishing published a second version of the books with “adult” (less colorful and more boring) book covers. This made it easier for a full range of ages to enjoy the series.Another factor that worked like a charm was that the publisher and Rowling herself, through the books, conducted midnight releases, promotions, and pre-ordering more readers. Customers who feared that their local bookstore would run out of copies responded by pre-ordering over 700,000 copies before the July 8, 2000 release.What does the underlined word “releases” (Para. 3) mean?A. The activity that frees or expresses energy or emotion.B. The announcement about the book’s publishing information.C. The sales of books that is available only at midnight.

The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign counterparts. Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation. In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator’s role becomes that of an impersonal supplier of information and cash. In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator’s position. Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator. Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success of negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations, they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding. [共5题](1)What kind of manager is needed in present international business and foreign investment? [本题2分]A. The man who represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation. B. The man with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. C. The man who is wealthy and impersonal. D. The man who can negotiate with his foreign counterparts.

Most children with healthy appetites are ready to eat almost anything that is offered them and a child rarely dislikes food (51) it is badly cooked. The way a meal is cooked and served is most important and an (52) served meal will often improve a child’s appetite. Never ask a child whether he likes or dislikes a food and never (53) likes and dislikes in front of him or allow anybody else to do so. If the father says he hates fat meat or the mother refuses vegetables in the child’s hearing he is (54) to copy this procedure. Take it (55) granted that he likes everything and he probably will. Nothing healthful should be omitted from the meal because of a (56) dislike. At meal times it is a good idea to give a child a small portion and let him (57) back for a second helping rather than give him as much as he is likely to eat all at once. Do not talk too much to the child (58) meal times, but let him get on with his food, and do not allow him to leave the table immediately after a meal or he will soon learn to swallow his food (59) he can hurry back to his toys. Under (60) circumstances must a child be coaxed or forced to eat.55（）。A. withB. asC. overD. for
