Out of the country’s 12.2 million pupils only 851,536 speak English at home, yet 7.6 million pupils choose English as their favorite language of learning and teaching. Zulu is the most widely spoken home language, spoken by over 3.1 million pupils. However, less than a third of them choose to be taught in Zulu. The same thing is true of Pedi-speaking pupils, only a third of such pupils choosing to be taught in their home language. Besides English,
Afrikaans is the only language that has more pupils choosing it as their language of instruction than it has pupils who speak it at home. In primary schools, most pupils will choose African languages. As early as grade four, many would choose English or Afrikaans in their lessons.
The rising number of English-learning pupils is mainly caused by social and cultural reasons. English is the most common spoken language in official and public life in South Africa, the survey reports. In April 2011, the leaders of higher education and training said that they would take some steps to improve the university teaching and prevent the continuing decline of African languages. They suggested that in future every South African university student could be required to learn at least one African language in order to complete their studies at school.

举一反三
“It is only under an absolute emissions cap that carbon emission permits will become a scarce resource and possess the qualities of a commodity,” the State Council‟s Development and Research Center said in a paper in Seeking Truth, a magazine published by the ruling party.
China has traditionally baulked(犹豫) at the idea of emissions caps either on a regional basis or for industrial sectors, invoking a key Kyoto protocol principle that puts most of the burden of cutting green-house gases on developed countries.
China, the world ‘s biggest emitter of greenhouse gases, has also been under external pressure to make stronger commitments in the battle against global warming .The country has been the biggest beneficiary(受益人) of the Clean Development Mechanism, a UN-backed scheme that allows industrialized countries to meet their CO2 reduction targets by purchasing certified emission reductions or CERs from low-carbon projects launched in developing nations.
However, the European Union, the biggest buyer of CERs, has said it will not accept CERs generated by Chinese projects once the first phase of its Emissions Trading Scheme ends in 2012, though projects already registered will remain valid.
小题1: What does China hope to do in the next five years?
A.to cut its emissions by 45% |
B.to set up a carbon market |
C.to have lower emissions than other countries |
D.to increase both emissions and production |
A.they care about the environment |
B.emissions harm people’s health |
C.of pressure from other countries |
D.they want more profit for their factories |
A.Countries can buy the right to produce as much carbon emissions as they like. |
B.All countries are required to set a carbon emissions cap and can then get certificates on how developed their environmental programme is. |
C.Developed countries are allowed to produce more emissions than industrial countries. |
D.Developed countries can buy the right to produce more carbon emissions from developing countries that produce less. |
A.Air pollution is still increasing the problem of climate change all over the world. |
B.China is still resisting cutting emissions as it is necessary for the manufacturing industry. |
C.China believes that it is free from meeting international standards on emissions. |
D.China will need to cut its emissions in the near future in order to keep up with the international community |
Diet products weaken us psychologically. On one level, we are not allowing our brain to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fatty, high-calorie(卡), unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the counter instead. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word “diet” in food brands.
On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we don’t have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle.
The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients(营养成分). Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemical that go into diet products are potentially dangerous.
Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us, it is time to seriously think about buying them. Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, and therefore prevent the psychological harm that comes from using them.
小题1:The first paragraph mainly tells us _____.
A.diet products can bring out people’s potential |
B.people have difficulty in choosing diet products |
C.diet products are misleading people |
D.people are fed up with diet products |
A.resist a variety of diet foods |
B.hesitate before they enjoy diet foods |
C.pay attention to their own eating habits |
D.watch their weight rather than their diet |
A.to warn people of the side effect of diet products |
B.to tell people how to lose weight |
C.to advise people to eat diet products |
D.to introduce some diet products |
CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point(次要点) C: Conclusion
Besides, it is rather unreal to grade pupils just according to their intellectual(智力的) ability. This is only one aspect of their total personality. We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full, not just their academic ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning.
In our classrooms, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups: this gives them the opportunity to learn to co-operate, to share, and to develop leadership skills. They also learn how to deal with personal problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to analyze and evaluate, and to communicate effectively in order to have the ability to become leaders. The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teacher.
Sometimes the pupils work in pairs;sometimes they work on individual tasks , and they can do this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this is suitable. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this efficiently. An advanced pupil can do advanced work:it does not matter what age the child is. We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every encouragement to attain this goal.
小题1:We can know from the passage that the author’ s attitude towards “mixed-ability teaching” is______.
A.approving | B.disapproving | C.questioning | D.inactive |
A.drawn to their studies | B.forced to study in the lower classes |
C.made to remain in the same classes | D.prevented from advancing |
A.Pupils also learn to develop their reasoning abilities. |
B.Pupils also learn how to participate in teaching activities |
C.Group work gives pupils the chance to learn to work together with others. |
D.Group work supply pupils with the chance to learn to be good organizers. |
A.offer advice on the proper use of the library |
B.recommend pair work and group work for classroom activities |
C.argue for teaching bright and not-so-bright pupils in the same class |
D.tell us the importance of proper formal classroom teaching |
