The documentary, titled Are Our Kids Tough Enough? focuses on five Chinese teachers who are sent to teach 50 UK teens at a school in Hampshire. The teachers instruct the students for a month. The pupils are then tested, and the results are pared to the ones of those who have continued in the regular UK education system. The idea is to see if the Chinese method improves academic performance. The Chinese teachers use their own teaching methods but receive strong resistance from the students. A clip from the documentary online shows some problems, with Chinese teachers calling their students lazy and lacking in discipline, while the students say the high pressure and harsh teachers are driving them crazy. This has aroused a new debate in both China and the UK, with some arguing the teenagers need more regulation and discipline. Others say Chinese methods encourage rote learning (死記硬背) instead of independent thinking. For instance, Chinese language teachers should do more than pass on knowledge about words and characters. They should inspire students, helping them feel the sentiment from Chinese literature. This is a higher level of teaching. Yang Dongping, dean of the 21st Century Education Research Institute, says, The Chinese teaching methods are designed to strictly train the majority. Foreign teaching methods, however, are more natural and relaxing, and designed to inspire students39。 interest in learning. Education methods are based on culture. That is why a successful education method in one place may not work that well when simply 39。transplanted39。 into another place. Yang Dongping says, The documentary does reflect some problems rooted in traditional Chinese teaching methods. Nobel prize winner, Yang Zhenning, gave a very fair ment on this issue. He said the Chinesestyle education method works for most ordinary qualified students effectively, helping them reach high standards. However, it may weaken the training for highpotential outstanding students.（1）Why are five Chinese teachers sent to teach 50 UK teens? test the intelligence of the UK teens. help the school improve their teaching efficiency. do some practical research into the UK education system. test the effectiveness of Chinese teaching methods.（2）What39。s the meaning of the underlined word harsh in the fourth paragraph? strict friendly cold attractive（3）According to Yang Dongping Chinese teaching methods ______. all countries be improved the best in the world not as good as British methods【答案】 （1）D（2）A（3）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，一部關于教學方法的紀錄片在中英兩國引起了不小的關注——五名中國老師被派去教英國學生，結果學生很不適應，這說明教學方法是以文化為基礎的，在一個國家取得成功的教學方法在另一個國家不一定奏效。 （1）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“The idea is to see if the Chinese method improves academic performance.”這個想法是為了看看中國的方法是否能提高學習成績，可知，五名中國老師被派去教英國學生是為了檢驗中國教學方法的成效。故選D。 （2）考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)第四段中的“with Chinese teachers calling their students lazy and lacking in discipline, while the students say the high pressure and harsh teachers are driving them crazy.”中國老師稱他們的學生懶惰和缺乏紀律，而學生則說壓力太大和嚴厲的老師讓他們發(fā)狂。由此可知，劃線詞意為“嚴厲的”。故選A。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“The Chinese teaching methods are designed to strictly train the majority. Foreign teaching methods, however, are more natural and relaxing, and designed to inspire students39。 interest in learning. Education methods are based on culture.”可知，楊東平認為，中國的教學方法側重于嚴格要求，而英國的教學方法更為自然和輕松，旨在激發(fā)學生的學習興趣，教學方法是以文化為基礎的。由此可知，楊東平認為中國的教學方法有待改進。故選B。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解，詞義猜測和推理判斷三個題型的考查，是一篇教育類閱讀，考生需要準確捕捉細節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關系，進行分析，推理，從而選出正確答案。8．閱讀理解 Food experts say washing could spread the germs on your turkey in the kitchen sink or nearby food. But it39。s been a challenge trying to convince cooks to stop rinsing (沖洗)off raw poultry. Germs that can make people sick are mon in the guts of healthy poultry and are legally allowed to be on raw turkey and chicken. The assumption is that nobody eats their poultry raw, and that thorough cooking will kill the bacteria. The do — not — wash raw poultry advice from the USDA is relatively new and perhaps hasn39。t caught on because it goes against the mon belief that washing makes things clean, said Chapman. Benjamin Chapman, a study author and food safety expert at North Carolina State University, said the instinct to wash raw poultry goes back at least decades when people relied more on visual clues to spot problems with poultry. Meanwhile, washing hands and surfaces are also important. But food preparation is a plicated act, and germs from poultry can be spread even if it39。s not washed, especially when birds are removed from packaging. The USDAfunded study stresses that point. Researchers sprayed raw chicken with a harmless strain of E. coli (大腸桿菌)and watched volunteer cooks at test kitchens. Among those who washed their raw chicken, about a quarter ended up spreading the bacteria to their lettuce. But even some of those who did not rinse the chicken got germs on the lettuce. And there are other opportunities for germs to survive on turkeys: melting and cooking. To ensure a bird is thoroughly cooked, they say to use a thermometer to check that the deepest and thickest parts of it have reached 165 degrees. Even after the meal is cooked, you aren39。t out of the danger zone. To keep turkeys and other leftovers safe, experts say they should be refrigerated after two hours.（1）People don39。t accept USDA39。s advice because____. advice is relatively new seems more trustworthy clean the turkey before cooking it can kill most germs and no one eats raw food（2）What can be concluded from Paragraph 4? packages carry germs. and surfaces are easy to get E. coli. from a turkey can be spread whether it is washed or not. methods should be applied to food to get rid of germs.（3）Which way may help to cook a turkey safely? off the turkey before it is heated. the turkey away from the lettuce and refrigerator. hands and packages before taking out the turkey. a thermometer to check
