You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.
Passage One
Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.
Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time: if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people's. In the same way, when children learn to do all the other things they learn to do without being taught to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle--compare those performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his own mistakes for himself, let alone correct them. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Soon he becomes dependent on the teacher. Let him do it himself. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.
If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can't find the way to get the right answer. Let's end this nonsense of grades, exams,marks. Let us throw them all out, and let the children learn what all educated persons must someday learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know.
Let them get on with this job in the way that seems most sensible to them, with our help as school teachers if they ask for it. The idea that there is a body of knowledge to be learnt at school and used for the rest of one's life is nonsense in a world as complicated and rapidly changing as ours. Anxious parents and teachers say, "But suppose they fail to learn something essential, something they will need to get in the world?" Don't worry! If it is essential, they will go out into the world and learn it.
What does the author think is the best way for children to learn things?
A.By imitating what other people do.
B.By making mistakes and having them corrected.
C.By listening to explanations from skilled people.
D.By asking a great many questions.
5、根据材料,回答问题。

A.To show a videotape on survival in outer space.
B.To gain support for the space program.
C.To describe her experience on space missions.

Body language is one of the best ways to find out what is really going on inside someone’s head.A small1of the mouth or nose,or a wink of the eye—these2 can say much more about a person’s feelings than anything they say to you.But you need to be very3 to fully understand what you see.Here are some basic movements made by Westerners and4of what they mean to get you started.
Shrug one’s shoulders.This means“I don’t know”or“I am not5.”Ifyour friend shrugs his or her shoulders when invited to a party,it shows he or she is not very6going along to it.Keep one’s fingers crossed.It is a7 to wish forgood luck.Before people take exams,they often cross their fingers in the hope of
getting good grades.Football fans do the same thing when their favorite team gets an
advantage from a penalty—they wish the player will8a goal.Rub one’s chin.If someone rubs his or her chin,it often means he or she doesn’t believe what someone else is saying!So if your friend makes this gesture,it9 tells you what he or she feels.Scratch one’s head.If your foreign English teacher scratches his or her head when you ask a question,then he or she is10and might not have understood what you have said.Either that.or he or she can’t remember your name!
