5、learners first or home languages or dialects and. in their orality?Some approaches to literacy instruction represent an ideology of individualism, control, and competition. Consider, for example, the difference in values conveyed and represented when students engage in choral reading versus the prac

6、tice of having one student read out loud to the group. To identify as a literacy animator is to choose the ideology of “sharing, solidarity, love, equity, co-operation with and respect of both nature and other human beings“. Literacy pedagogy that matches the animator ideology works on maintaining t

7、he languages and cultures of millions of minority children who at present are being forced to accept the language and culture of the dominant group. It might lead to assessment that examines the performance outcomes of a community of literacy learners and the social significance of their uses of lit

8、eracy, as opposed to measuring what an individual can do as a reader and writer on a standardized test.

Experts say you can keep those resolutions long term, even if youre struggling now.“The motiv

15、y, then thats going to pay off in the long run.“Stewart advises to use what she calls the 90 -10 eating rule.“If youre eating healthy 90 percent of the time, then 10 percent of the time, you can cut yourself some slack and eat pleasurably.“She says she believes that “healthy eating is evolution inst

16、ead of resolution.“The same principle can be applied to a lagging exercise resolution, too.Staying motivated is key to long-term success, and reviewing original goals can help strengthen a weakening workout program.Adding variety to a fitness regime also can prevent you from hanging up those exercis

17、e shoes. After a few weeks of well-intentioned workouts, boredom may be creeping into your routine.Setting goals too high is another common mistake, “If youre not running a marathon at the end of the month, dont worry,“ said Mayo Clinic experts. A too intense workoutand the resulting pain and stiffn

24、 been cast adrift, without any firm basis for judgments. Publications and institutions to support serious criticism, in this view, either no longer exist or are few in number.Critics today, it is also claimed, are too cozy behind the ivied walls of academe, content to employ a prose style that is de

25、cipherable only to a handful of the cognoscenti. The deadly dive of Uniersity critics into the shallow depths of popular culture, moreover, reveals the unwillingness of these critics to uphold standards. Even if the reasons offered are contradictory, these Jeremiahs huddle around their sad conclusio

26、n that serious cultural criticism has fallen into a morass of petty bickering and bloated reputations.Such narratives of declension, a staple of American intellectual life since the time of the Puritans, are misplaced, self-serving, and historically inaccurate, so difficult to prove. Has the level o

27、f criticism declined in the last 50 years? Of coarse the logic of such an opinion depends on the figures that are being contrasted with one another. Any number of cultural critics thriving today could be invoked to demonstrate that cultural criticism is alive and well.But many new and thriving venue

28、s for criticism and debate exist today, and they are not limited solely t6 the discussion of literary works. Actually, they became so entrusted with their own certitude and political judgments that they beacme largely irrelevant. Today the complaint is that literary culture lacks civility. We live i

29、n an age of commercialism and spectacle. Writers seek the limelight, and one way to bask in it is to publish reviews that scorch the landscape, with Dale Peck as the famous, but not a typical case in point. Heidi Julavits, in an essay in The Believer, lamented the downfall of serious fiction and rev

30、iewing. She surveyed a literary culture that had embraced “snark“, her term for hostile, self-serving reviews.The snark review, according to Julavits, eschews a serious engagement with literature in favor of a sound-bite approach, an attempt to turn the review into a form of entertainment akin to fi

31、lm reviews or restaurant critiques. A critic found cultural criticism to be in “critical condition“. For him, the postmodern turn to theory, in its questioning of objectivity, cut the critical, independent ground out from under reviewers. The rise of chain bookstores and blockbuster best sellers dem

32、eaned literary culture, making it prey to the commercial values of the market and entertainment.The criticism does not seem discontinuous. Nor should we forget that civility rarely reigned in the circles of New York intellectuals. The art critic Clement Greenberg physically pummeled the theatre crit

33、ic Lionel Abel after Abel rejected the view that Jean Wahl, the French philosopher, was anti-Semitic. Though Robert Peck has the reputation of a literary hatchet man, so far as I know his blows thus far have all been confined to the printed page.Cultural criticism has certainly changed over the year

34、s. The old days of the critic who wielded unchallenged authority have happily passed. Ours is a more pluralistic age, one not beholden to a narrow literary culture. The democratization of criticism as in the Amazon system of readers evaluating booksis a messy affair, as democracy must be. But the so

35、lution to the problems of criticism in the present is best not discovered in the musty basements of nostalgia and sentiment for the cultual criticism of a half-century gone. Rather the solution is to recognize, as John Dewey did almost a century ago, that the problems of democracy demand more democr

36、acy, less nostalgia for a golden age that never was, and a spirit of openness to what is new and invigorating in our culture.（分数：10.00）(1).What is the possible connection between cultural critics and publications and institutions?（分数：2.00）A.Cultural critics attack postmodernism and commercialization

37、 cherished by publications and institutions.B.Postmodernism and commercialization are attacked by the serious publications and institutions.C.Cultural criticism is short of judgments and will not exist without the support of publications and institutions.D.Publications and institutions show almost n

38、o interest in serious cultural criticism.(2).How do the university critics like the serious cultural criticism?（分数：2.00）A.Cultural criticism is not serious enough when the articles are written in the cozy prose style.B.Popular culture is so prevailing that serious critics are not willing to keep to

39、the shallow standards.C.Serious cultural criticism is full of insignificant quarrels and the public do not really trust it.D.Cultural critics have become so serious as to tell the stories imbued with American intellectual Puritanism.(3).What is the authors opinion of the current complaint about the

40、literary expansion into the other fields?（分数：2.00）A.When literary critics discuss issues with political judgments, their views are likely to be meaningless.B.It is reasonable for writers to seek limelight since we are living in the age of commercialism.C.Critics should be encouraged to write and pub

41、lish poignant articles which would scorch the landscape.D.It is the critics responsibility to lament the downfall of serious fiction and reviewing.(4).What does “the snark review“ refer to according to Heidi Julavits?（分数：2.00）A.Cultural reviews which are unfriendly and selfless.B.Literary reviews av

43、dgments without challengesB.pluralism should be held back, reinforcing the unchallenged authority in the literary criticismC.democriatic criticism should not be adopted because it is rather messy as proved in the Amazon systemD.we should encourage more democracy, dismiss nostalgia and cultivate an o

44、pen attitudeBPassage Four/BIn July, almost unnoticed by the national press, a deadly bird virus arrived on a pheasant farm in Surrey. Experts from the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) identified Newcastle disease, a virus usually mortal to turkeys and geese but not huma

45、ns, in a flock of 9,000 pheasant chicks imported from France ahead of the shooting season.Within hours of the diagnosis, veterinary experts had swung into action, throwing up a 3km exclusion zone around the farm near Cobham and culling 10,000 birds. The carcasses were burned and premises cleaned to

46、stop the virus escaping. It was four weeks before Defras Veterinary Exotic Diseases Division felt it was safe for poultry move virus has reached Turkey, similar emergency plans are being readied by officials from Defra and other agencies. The scenario they are preparing for is that the H5Nlvirns, wh

47、ich so far has led to the culling of billions of chickens in south-east Asia and 60 human deaths, will soon arrive on these shores.What happens next depends on where the outbreak occurs, whether it can be contained, and most important of allwhether it mutates to become infectious between people. So

48、far, only poultry workers or those directly exposed to chicken faeces or blood are thought to be at risk, though direct human-to-human transmission cannot be ruled out.“Every time a new person gets infected with the virus there is a small chance that person will trigger a pandemic,“ said Neil Fergus

49、on, a scientist at Imperial College, who has been running simulations on what might happen were H5N1 to reach Britain. “Its a very small chance, probably 1 in a 1,000, 1 in 10,00O or less.“Should diseased birds reach Britain, the first step for veterinary officials would be to contain the outbreak as they did with Newcastle disease. An amber alert would be sounded and samples sent to the Veterinary Laboratory Agency (VLA) in Weybridge, Surrey. If lan Brown, the head of avian virology, there, c
