［正确答案］61-65 CDDCA ［答案解析］ 65. 第3段讲到："只有当有人建议铺设一条从欧洲到美洲的海底电缆时, 人们才开始从 商业意义上对海底进行探索"。人们必须要知道海底有什么, 是个什么样子, 需要多长的电缆 等等。因此, 选项C是答案。 66. 本题问的是谁向Maury请教海洋研究方面的问题。要答对这一题, 必须看懂原文第 4段第l句。这是一个强调句型(1t was...that...), 原文突出"向美国海军的MauD请教"。而题 干也是一个强调句型, 突出谁向Maury请教。理解本句的关键还在于学生要掌 握 turned to...for...这个短语的用法。可见, 答案是选项D。 67. 本题问的是19世纪40年代Maury负责的远洋航行的目的是什么。这个问题比较具 体。题干本身已点明了答案可能的出处, 即第4段的第2句。这句中动词不定式 to investigate the depths of the North Atlantic and Pacific 0ceans回答了这个问题。所以, 答案是 D项。 68. 本题考核学生根据上下文推测词义的能力。defied是defy的过去式。要准确地推 测它的词义, 必须完全读懂defied前后部分的意思：前一部分是说："从海底捞出的电缆上覆 盖着各种各样的生物", 后一部分是说："当时的科学观点认为海洋深处是没有生命的"。由此 可见, 前一部分的"事实"(..., a fact which...)是"批驳"后一部分的"观点"。所以, 答案是C项 challenged(向…挑战, 指责)。 69. 本题问及全篇的中心意思。考生只有读懂全文各段, 才能有把握地回答。第1段谈 及是关于"海洋学"的定义; 第2段是讲19世纪前对海洋感兴趣的科学家不多; 第3段谈到由 于有人提出铺设海底电缆, 人们才开始研究"海底深处究竟有什么"; 第4段说Maury考察北大 西洋和太平洋的发现引起广泛的注意; 第5段讲在铺设海底电缆过程中发现大量海样生 物; 最后一段是海洋学研究的成果。可见全篇主要还是讲海洋学的研究是如何开展起来的, 所 以答案是A项。 Passage 2 We find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed-ability teaching. On the contrary, both their knowledge and experience are enriched. We feel that there are many disadvantages in streaming pupils. It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates. It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright child. After all, it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade! Besides, it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual 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 cope with personal problem as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to analyse and evaluate, and to communicate effectively. 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 assignments, and they can do this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate. 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. 66.
