11、hoices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the passage.)Imagine this: Youre sitting in a London caf with an English friend.

12、e day you ever started studying the terrible English language; or C) give your opinion of whether that girl over there is crazy or not?Teachers and students often talk about the “plateau” of language learning.

14、 may come as a surprise: You need slang to lift you up and away.Of course textbooks wont recommend this route. Slang is too fast-changing to be recorded in them. And slangs also a dirty word to some teachers, who only like polite English. But English is not only an old-fashioned, polite language, it

15、 is also changing quickly. At the end of 2005, two fat new dictionaries“The New Partridge Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English” and “Cassells Dictionary of Slang” hit the bookshops. Ignoring Englishs slang is like travelling to a new country and only visiting places recommended in a 10-yea

16、r-old guidebook. Boring. So where can you get a fix?New books are good slanguage (slang-language) sources. If youre tired of reading, buy a CD. Musicians and rappers like the UKs Artic Monkey and The Streets and the US Kelis and Eminem are slang sensations (引起轰动的人), constantly playing tricks with th

17、e Queens English.As the Austrian-British philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein said, the limits of your language are the limits of your world.

22、g three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions. Respond to the questions according to the passage.)AIn a society such as the United States or Canada, which has many national, religious, and cultural differences, people highly value individualismthe differences among people. Teachers

23、 place a lot of importance on the equalities that make each student special. The educational systems in these countries show these values. Students do not memorize information. Instead, they work individually and find answers themselves. There is often discussion in the classroom. At an early age, s

24、tudents learn to form their own ideas and opinions.In most Asian societies, by contrast, the people have the same language, history, and culture. Perhaps for this reason, the educational system in much of the Orient reflects societys belief in group goals and purposes rather than individualism. Chil

25、dren in China, Japan and Korea often work together and help one another on assignments. In the classroom, the teaching methods are often very formal. The teacher lectures, and the students listen.

For example, one advantage to the system in Japan is that students there learn much more math and science than American students learn by the end of high school. They also study more hours each day and more days each ye

27、ar than North Americans do. The system is strict, but it prepares students for a society that values discipline and self-control. There is, however, a disadvantage. Memorization is an important learning method in Japanese schools, yet many students say that after an exam, they forget much of the inf

28、ormation that they have memorized.The advantage of the educational system in North America, on the other hand, is that students learn to think for themselves. The system prepares them for a society that values creative ideas. There is, however, a disadvantage. When students graduate from high school

31、characterized as communities of learners where students come first, teachers set high expectations for students, and instruction is interactive（互动式的） and student-centered rather than teacher-centered. Teachers empower students to become excited about and responsible for their learning. Effective schools for students share a vision for all students.
