16、：60.00)7.Part III Reading Comprehension_8.Section A_Nearly two-thirds of businesses in the UK want to 1staff with foreign language skills. French is still the most highly prized language, but Spanish and Mandarin speakers are more in 2than in the past. Katja Hall, deputy director-general of Confeder
17、ation of British Industry(CBI), said that, given the EU was the UKs largest export market, it was no surprise to see European languages so 3valued. “But with China and Latin America seeing solid growth, ambitious firms want the language skills that can 4the path into new markets,“ she said. The 2014
18、 annual education and skills survey by the CBI and Pearson, the educational publisher that owns the Financial Times, found that 41 percent of the 291 companies surveyed across the UK believed knowledge of a foreign language was 5to their business. European languagesFrench, German and Spanishstill to
19、pped the list in 6of desirability, but these were closely followed by Mandarin and Arabic. However, the number of students studying foreign languages has 7in the past decade. Ms Hall said it was unclear whether recent government 8to encourage language learning in schools would have any impact. “It h

22、idsA)Tomi Hall did what she could to lobby for the best teachers for her two children, making her case this spring in letters to the principal. Then all she could do was waiting for news of their classroom assignmentsand it s been torturing. The Aurora mom knows her efforts carry no guarantees. One
23、year her son didnt get the teacher Hall had hoped for, and he struggled for months with one whose relaxed style came across to him as uncaring. “Granted, I know it s just kindergarten,“ said Hall, 39. “But. a teacher can make or break you.“B)In the next few weeks, many families will rip open notific
24、ation letters or go to school to see class lists posted on the front door. For parents accustomed to directing nearly every aspect of their child s early learning it can be difficult to have little voice in teacher selectiona decision they view as critical. Some spend hours crafting the perfect lett
25、er or meet with the principal to make an argument. For their childs early learning, parents regard that teacher is critical.C)Principals, meanwhile, struggle to create balanced classrooms while juggling(同时应付)individual requests. They say they want input but find it increasingly necessary to discoura
26、ge parents from asking for a specific teacher. Administrators don t want the selection process to be a popularity contestin part because what makes a teacher popular may have nothing to do with a particular child s educational needs.D)“Im bright enough to realize parents talk at soccer fields and ba
27、seball fields, but you have to realize your experience with Teacher A may be very different than someone else s Teacher A,“ said Scott Meek, the new principal at Northbrook Junior High School who is making classroom assignments this summer for 600 students with the help of an office display board. H
28、e asks parents to focus their input on the student and his or her learning style and trust the school to make the right match.E)Some students also recognize that certain teachers bring out the best in them. “I need one of those strict kinds of teachers,“ said Halls daughter Tori, 12, who is entering
29、 7th grade. “When I get a not-so-strict teacher, I think they dont really care about me. I really dont want a bad teacher. Ill get lower grades.“F)When Chaya Fish, 30, of West Rogers Park taught at a private school in New York, she said, it was obvious who the “in“ teachers were. She said she automa
30、tically joined them after the principal s son landed in her classroom. “It was ridiculous,“ said Fish. “The other teacher was probably better than me. It was how you dressed, how you talked“ that often determined parental favor.G)Teachers said the most vocal parents often get their way so that all p
31、arties involved can avoid a difficult school year. But educators warn that parents who get what they wish for may be sorry afterward. “A lot of times when people orchestrate(精心安排)who they think their child is best suited for, they find they made a mistake,“ said Mark Friedman, superintendent(督学)for
32、Libertyville Elementary School District 70. “I have many parents say later, I don t know why I did this. It isnt working out this year.“ Friedman said he assures parents their comments will be considered but never guarantees a specific teacher. In fact, he tells them that if they do request a teache
33、r and later regret that choice, “you have no one to blame but yourself.“H)Some parents said theyve learned their lesson about trying to guess which teacher would be best. Jamie Thompson said she was initially concerned when her daughter was assigned to a strict lst-grade teacher. She was aware other
34、 parents had lobbied for a different person, who had a more casual style. “At the end, it turned out that the other class was asking, Why isnt my child learning that?“ said Thompson, 36, of Arlington Heights. “That s why I dont want to interfere too much.“I)Yet parents have different reasons for req
35、uesting classes, and some have nothing to do with the teacher, said Michelle Van Every, 36, of Deerfield. She and other mothers once requested that their children not be placed in a classroom with a specific boynot because of him, but to avoid his mother, who had created problems in the past, she sa
36、id. “We didn t want to cross paths with her,“ said Van Every, who added that the school complied with their request. “We didnt want to have to volunteer with her at a class party.“J)Each district follows its own procedure for teacher selection. Some begin as early as April or May, officials said. Ma
37、ny ask parents to complete a form about their childs strengths and weaknesses. Typically, teachers have some say in the process by deciding early on which students should be separated or kept together, on the basis of academics, personalities and learning styles. The principal draws up the final cla
38、ss lists, often after meeting with parents or reviewing special requests, officials said. K)Many school districts wait until the last minute to announce class assignments, usually about two weeks before the start-up of school. Thats because they have come to expect a flood of phone calls within hour
39、s from parents who beg or demand to switch teachers.L)Other schools handle it differently. At Sawyer Elementary School on Chicagos Southwest Side, the fall class assignments are handed out with the last report card the previous spring, said teacher Maureen “Moe“ Forte. Forte said she is aware of col
40、leagues and members of the Local School Council who have asked that their children be moved from one class into another. “Its not fair,“ Forte said. “I was very upset that one of the LSC parents moved her daughter to my classroom.The parent just felt my personality fit better with her child. And it
41、s not a personality contest.“M)Denita Ricci of Lake Villa said she knows parents who request certain classes but tries to stay out of the process. Her son, Mason Wubs, 12, hopes to be placed in the same class as his best friend, easing the transition to 7th grade at a new school. “I trust the school
42、s judgment,“ she said, though she secretly hopes Mason will share a class with his friend. “I think they need to learn to deal with people who are different from them, just like an employer.“（分数：20.00）(1).Forte said, teaching at school is not a personality contest.（分数：2.00）填空项 1:_(2).Teachers will d
