13．Students inC hina spend a lot of time learning English．B ut most of them cannot use it to communicate．Some experts think the reason lies in the testing system，because the current English testing system inC hina puts too much pressure on students to get high marks and pay no attention to the development of their overall（全面的） language abilities．C onsidering this，recently many experts are calling for reforms（改革） of the English language testing system to make it more effectively to develop actual language abilities．They say changes are necessary for the development of the national English education system．
寫(xiě)作要求：
1．用30個(gè)詞左右概括上述話題的主要內(nèi)容；
2．用約100個(gè)詞就這一話題發(fā)表自己的看法，并包括如下要點(diǎn)：
（1）你是否贊成英語(yǔ)考試的改革．
（2）你贊同或反對(duì)的理由（至少兩條）．
（3）對(duì)"How to develop overall language abilities"談?wù)勀愕目捶ǎ?br />Recently，the topic of whether English test system should be changed has caused a heated discussion．Many people think the current testing system prevents students from developing overall language abilities and therefore argue for a reform．
Personally，I am against reforming the current testing system．The following are my reasons．Firstly，I don't think it prevents the cultivation of our overall languge abilities．As far as I know，many students are good at all the four skills of using English．Moreover，it is generally the fairest way for students to get selected for college study．Nobody can be sure a new testing method will do better．
As for the development of comprehensive language abilities，I think the only way is to practice more，either listening and reading or speaking and writing．Only in this way can we learn the English language well．．

分析 寫(xiě)好這類作文要注意幾個(gè)步驟：1． 認(rèn)真審題，找準(zhǔn)提示語(yǔ)中的關(guān)鍵詞或句，確定中心思想．2． 依據(jù)關(guān)鍵句，草擬提綱，梳理文章的脈絡(luò)3． 準(zhǔn)確定位人稱、時(shí)態(tài)．注意使用高級(jí)詞匯和高級(jí)句型使文章顯得更有檔次．4．最后還要認(rèn)真查驗(yàn)是否有漏寫(xiě)情況，有無(wú)拼寫(xiě)錯(cuò)誤及標(biāo)點(diǎn)誤用等
高分句型一：
Many people think the current testing system prevents students from developing overall language abilities and therefore argue for a reform．
許多人認(rèn)為現(xiàn)行的考試制度阻礙了學(xué)生語(yǔ)言能力的全面發(fā)展，因此需要改革．
高分句型二：
As for the development of comprehensive language abilities，I think the only way is to practice more，either listening and reading or speaking and writing．Only in this way can we learn the English language well．
關(guān)于綜合語(yǔ)言能力的培養(yǎng)，我認(rèn)為唯一的辦法就是多練習(xí)，多聽(tīng)、多讀、多說(shuō)、多寫(xiě)，這樣才能學(xué)好英語(yǔ)．

When it comes to teaching people about poetry，Li Dingguang，the show's academic advisor，suggested that teachers should explain more about the beauty of the poetry from both the aesthetic （審美的） and emotional sides，and guide students to lose themselves in the poems，rhythmic and rhyming （押韻的） lines．
"Although the proportion of ancient Chinese poems in the textbooks of primary and secondary schools has increased，many students still learn them for exams．"Li Dingguang said，"Therefore，it's important to help students truly appreciate the artistry and fun of poetry．"

28．The TV show has been produced toD．
A．a(chǎn)ppreciate classical Chinese poetry and value our traditional culture．

B．Students should memorize the poems'rhythmic and rhyming lines．
C．The main duty of teachers is to help students truly appreciate the artistry and fun of poetry．

2．Singapore's schools have become global role models with high results in international tests．But now they want to move，beyond this-towards something that encourages creativity and what they term"holistic（全面的）education"．

Minister of Education，Heng Swee Keat，says this is"less about content knowledge"，but"more about how to process information"．He describes this challenge of innovating（創(chuàng)新）as being about to"tell truth from untruth，connect seemingly different things，and create knowledge even as the situation changes"．
This approach aims to prepare today's students for the demands of the next 20 years．It means that schools are under more pressure，and will be given more freedom，to come up with creative ways to teach students．So instead of the traditional impressions of high-pressure Asian schools，with rows of heads buried in books，they are trying different approaches to learning．
To put this into practice，on a sunny April morning，80 students from one of Singapore's top schools were traveling outdoors．The nine to ten-year-old from Rosyth School were on a"learning journey"in a park，with science topics and values such as caring for the environment．
"We are conducting a biopsy（活組織檢查）to find out why a bee，a fish，a bird or a plant died strangely，"said one student．"Is it because of human actions？"
They photographed"evidence"on smart phones and digital cameras，getting facts on plants and animal species．"They can really learn through hands-on experience and putting things into action，"said moral education teacher，Joslyn Huang．

24．What are Singapore's schools famous for according to the passage？A
A．Test results．
B．Strict management．
C．Teaching methods．
D．Learning environment．
25．What does Singapore's"holistic education"lay emphasis on？B
A．Students'moral behavior．
B．Students'creative ability．
C．Students'content knowledge．
D．Students'hands-on experience．
26．Why did the 80students from Rosyth School conduct a biopsy？C
A．To improve the environment．
B．To protect animals and plants．
C．To study the relationship between human actions and some animals'death．
D．To find out the relationship between human behaviors and climate changes．
27．How did the author tell us about a different way of learning in Singapore's schools？A
A．By giving examples．
B．By making comparisons．
C．By listing figures．
D．By analyzing cause and effect．

3．Are you left-handed？If you are，you make up just 10percent of the world's population．（36）C Most people write and play musical instruments with their right hands．
（37）BA new theory，called"cooperation vs competition"may have the answer．As humans evolved，we needed to work together to live．When making tools for a right-handed person-like a knife-it was easier if everybody could use the same hand．But some humans wanted to compete instead．So to have an advantage over right-handed people，they would use their left hand to surprise competitors．
（38）FGerman born American scientist Albert Einstein，British physicist Isaac Newton and British biologist Charles Darwin are some famous"lefties"．At least six US presidents were left-handed，including Barack Obama，Bill Clinton，and Harry Truman．
"Lefties"are also often linked with creativity and visual （視覺(jué)） skills．（39）AWell，the left side of our brain is where we solve problems．The right side of our brain is where we develop creativity．Right-handers tend to use the left side more than the right side．Yet left-handers tend to use both sides more evenly than right-handers．
"This is why there are more of them in creative areas，such as music，art and writing，"said Alan Searleman，PhD，from St．Lawrence University，New York．（40）DThey tend to have worse memories，often forgetting names and places．

A．How can this be？
B．Why are so few people left-handed？
C．This means we live in a right-handed world．
D．However，it's not all good news for left-handers．
E．That means lefties should celebrate their differences．
F．Although there are few left-handed people，some of them are geniuses．
G．Therefore，they are always less creative than the left-handers while working．
