Soft skills are personal qualities that help a person relate effectively to others. Officials say this kind of training can help students succeed in the job market and in life. The training is being offered at the St. Bernadette Kamonyi Secondary School in Kigali, Rwanda. For weeks, its students have been visiting neighborhood businesses. The goal of these field trips is for the young people to learn what is necessary to secure a job. For the secondary school students, this information is important. In a few months, they39。ll plete their studies and try their best to find work. One of the Rwandan students is 22yearold Aminadab Niyitegeka. He says he will look for any job available. He hopes that what he learns in his work readiness class will help. Traditionally, secondary schools in Africa have spent more time on subjects like mathematics and science, largely ignoring areas like public speaking and teamwork. But that is changing. Schools are exploring new teaching models to offer soft skills and professional training. It is part of an effort to prepare students to bee better municators, problem solvers and citizens (公民). Rwanda has started a work readiness training program called Akazi Kanoze Access. It means work well done in Kinyarwanda, the official language of Rwanda. The program has trained more than 20,000 students to help make them more appealing to employers. Emmanuel Ntagungira is a teacher and works as a trainer for Akazi Kanoze Access, He often visits employers who have given jobs to high schools. The employers are very happy because the graduates are ready to work. He says he hopes the program will help lower unemployment, which stands at over 13 percent nationwide. He also explains that the graduates have a healthy mindset and employers are satisfied with the job they39。ve been doing.（1）Which of the following is not an example of soft skills? petent in software. with others well. a good speech in public. a good sense of cooperation.（2）In what way have secondary schools in Africa changed? focus on mathematics and science. ignore areas like public speaking and teamwork. apply new teaching methods. make an effort to offer students soft skills.（3）What can we learn from the passage? program Kazi Kanoze Access aims to appeal to employers.

But that is changing. Schools are exploring new teaching models to offer soft skills and professional training”可知傳統(tǒng)上，非洲的中學(xué)花時(shí)間在數(shù)學(xué)和科學(xué)等科目上，很大程度上會(huì)忽略公共演講和團(tuán)隊(duì)協(xié)作等領(lǐng)域。但現(xiàn)在這樣的情況正在改變。學(xué)校正在探索新的教學(xué)模式以提供軟技能和專業(yè)訓(xùn)練。所以非洲中級(jí)學(xué)校的改變是他們努力教給學(xué)生軟技能。故選D。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的“Soft skills are personal qualities that help a person relate effectively to others. Officials say this kind of training can help students succeed in the job market and in life”可知軟技能是指人的品質(zhì)，能幫助人與人之間有效交流的品質(zhì)。權(quán)威人士說(shuō)這樣的訓(xùn)練能幫助學(xué)生在找工作和生活中成功。因此軟技能幫學(xué)生跟人和睦相處。故選C。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇教育類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。8．閱讀理解 A recent documentary produced by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) has caused a stir in China and in the UK. 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 U
