Part 3 阅读训练.
Ⅰ.阅读理解
Many years ago, an experiment in education was carried out in secret at a school in England.The school had two classes for children of the same age.At the end of the school year an examination was held, in order to select the children for the classes of next year.However, the results of the exam were never made known.In secret, based on their performance in the exam, the higher performing and lower performing children were divided equally between the two classes.Only the headmaster and the psychologists knew the truth.Teachers for the next year were carefully selected for equal ability and experience.Even the classrooms were chosen with similar facilities (设备)．Everything was made as equal as possible, except for one thing: one was called “Class A”， the other, “Class B”．
In everyone's minds the children in Class A were the clever ones, and the kids in Class B were not so clever.Some of the parents of the Class A children were pleasantly surprised that their children had done so well and rewarded them with presents and praise, while the parents of some of the Class B kids complained that their children did not work hard enough and took away some of their rewards.Even the teachers taught the Class B kids in a different manner, not expecting so much from them.For a whole year the illusion existed.Then there was another end of year exam.
The results were not surprising.The children of Class A performed so much better than those of Class B．In fact, the results were just as if they had been the top half chosen from last year's exam.They had become “Class A” children.And those in the other group, though equal the year before, had now become “Class B” kids.That was what they were told for a whole year, that was
how they were treated, and that was what they believed — so that was what they became.
1．According to the text, it is a fact that ________．
A．the Class A kids worked harder
B．the Class A kids had better facilities
C．kids in the two classes had equal ability
D．teachers of Class A were more experienced
2．The underlined word “illusion” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “________”．
A．reward system B．false impression
C．teaching plan D．old tradition
3．Why didn't the Class B kids perform well in the second exam?
A．Because they didn't work hard.
B．Because they had lost selfconfidence.
C．Because their teachers were irresponsible.
D．Because what they learned was too difficult.
4．The experiment proved the importance of ________．
A．great ambitions B．natural talents
C．strong determination D．outside influence
Ⅰ.语篇解读：本文是说明文。介绍了一个令人深思的教育实验：学生资质相当且学习条件相同的两个班由于分别接受积极和消极的外部影响，一年以后两个班的成绩出现明显差距。证明了外部影响的重要性。
1．【答案】选C
【解析】：细节理解题。由第一段的“Everything was made as equal as possible, except ...”及第三段的“And those in the other group, though equal the year before”可知，两个班的学生资质相当而且学习条件相同。
2．【答案】选B
【解析】：词义猜测题。由该词所在段落的内容——尽管两个班的孩子无区别，但由于班级冠名不同而导致了家长、老师的错误印象和分别对待可知，illusion指“错觉”。
3．【答案】选B
【解析】：推理判断题。根据文章末句“that was what they ...what they became”可知，B班的学生被认为比较差，最后他们失去了自信，也就真的差了。
4．【答案】选D
【解析】：推理判断题。本文介绍了一个教学实验：学生资质相当并且学习条件相同的两个班由于分别接受积极的和消极的外部影响，一年以后两个班的成绩出现明显差距。因此这项实验证明了外部影响的重要性。

Ⅲ.短文改错
Last Saturday I went to the library as usually. At about noon, I was enjoying my reading near a lake while suddenly I hear someone crying for help. I went up to see what was happened. I was shocking to find a little child struggling in the water in the distance while many peoples were standing by without doing anything. Without any hesitation, I had pushed through the crowd as I took off my coat, but jumped into the water quickly. I managed to reach him and carried him back to safety. To his great relief, the kid was saved.
I was proud what I had done. I hope everyone can give a hand when someone else is in need.
【答案】第一句：usually→usual
第二句：while→when; hear→heard
第三句：happened→happening
第四句：shocking→shocked; peoples→people
第五句：去掉had; but→and
第七句：his→my
