15、五、PART READING COMPR(总题数：0，分数：0.00)六、TEXT A(总题数：1，分数：5.00)I was just a boy when my father brought me to Harlem for the first time, almost 50 years ago. We stayed at the Hotel Theresa, a grand brick structure at 125th Street and Seventh Avenue. Once, in the hotel restaurant, my father pointed out Joe

16、 Louis. He even got Mr Brown, the hotel manager, to introduce me to him, a bit paunchy but still the champ as far as I was concerned.Much has changed since then. Business and real estate are booming. Some say a new renaissance is under way. Others decry what they see as outside forces running roughs

17、hod over the old Harlem.New York meant Harlem to me, and as a young man I visited it whenever I could. But many of my old haunts are gone. The Theresa shut down in 1966. National chains that once ignored Harlem now anticipate yuppie money and want pieces of this prime Manhattan real estate. So here

18、I am on a hot August afternoon, sitting in a Starbucks that two years ago opened a block away from the Theresa, snatching at memories between sips of high-priced coffee. I am about to open up a piece of the old Harlem the New York Amsterdam News when a tourist asking directions to Sylvias, a promine

19、nt Harlem restaurant, penetrates my daydreaming. Hes carrying a book: Touring Historic Harlem.History. I miss Mr Michauxs bookstore, his House of Common Sense, which was across from the Theresa. He had a big billboard out front with brown and black faces painted on it that said in large letters: “Wo

20、rld History Book Outlet on 2,000,000,000 Africans and Nonwhite Peoples.“ An ugly state office building has swallowed that space.I miss speaker like Carlos Cooks, who was always on the southwest corner of 125th and Seventh, urging listeners to support Africa. Harlems powerful political electricity se

21、ems unplugged - although the streets are still energized, especially by West African immigrants.Hard-working southern newcomers formed the bulk of the community back in the 1920s and 30s, when Harlem renaissance artists, writers, and intellectuals gave it a glitter and renown that made it the capita

22、l of black America. From Harlem, W.E.B. DuBois, Langston Hughes, Paul Robeson, Zora Neal Hurston, and others helped power Americas cultural influence around the world.By the 1970s and 80s drugs and crime had ravaged parts of the community. And the life expectancy for men in Harlem was less than that

23、 of men in Bangladesh. Harlem had become a symbol of the dangers of inner-city life.Now, you want to shout “Lookin good!“ at this place that has been neglected for so long. Crowds push into Harlem USA, a new shopping centre on 125th, where a Disney store shares space with HMV Records, the New York S

24、ports Club, and a nine-screen Magic Johnson theatre complex. Nearby, a Rite Aid drugstore also opened. Maybe part of the reason Harlem seems to be undergoing a rebirth is that it is finally getting what most people take for granted.Harlem is also part of an “empowerment zone“-a federal designation a

25、imed at fostering economic growth that will bring over half a billion in federal, state, and local dollars.

30、s the same as ever.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.七、TEXT B(总题数：1，分数：4.00)Dwight attended Lincoln elementary school, directly across the street from his home. The curriculum emphasized rote learning. “The darkness of the classrooms on a winter day and the monotonous hum of recitation,“ Eisenhower wrote in his memo

31、irs .” are my sole surviving memories. I was either a lackluster student or involved in a lackluster program.“ He came to life for the spelling bee and arithmetic. Spelling contests aroused in him his competitive drive and his hatred of careless mistakes he became a self-confessed martinet on the su

32、bject of orthography. Arithmetic appealed to him because it was logical and straightforward an answer was either right or wrong.The subject that really excited him, however, was one that he pursued on his own, military history. He became so engrossed in it, in fact, that he neglected his chores and

33、his schoolwork. His first hero was Hannibal. Then he became a student of the American Revolution, and George Washington excited his admiration, He talked history to his classmates so frequently that his senior yearbook predicted that he would become a professor of history at Yale (it also predicted

34、that Edgar would become a two-term President of the United States).During Dwights high school years his interests were, in order of importance, sports, work, studies, and girls. He was shy around the girls and in any case wanted to impress his male classmates as a regular fellow, just one of the gan

35、g. Paying too much attention to the girls was considered somewhat sissy. He was careless of his dress, his hair was usually uncombed, and he was a terrible dancer on the few occasions he tried the dance floor.Studies came easily to him and he made good to excellent grades without exerting himself. H

36、e got all Bs in his freshman year, when. the subjects were English, physical geography, algebra, and German. He did a bit better the next year, and as a junior and senior he was an A or A-plus student in English, history, and geometry. His sole B was in Latin.Sports, especially football and baseball

37、, were the center of his life. He expended far more energy on sports than he put into his studies, lie was a good, but not outstanding, athlete. He was well coordinated, but slow of foot. He weighed only 150 pounds. His chief asset was his will to win. He loved the challenge of the games themselves,

38、 enjoyed the competition with older and bigger boys, bubbled over with pleasure at hitting a single to drive in the winning run or at throwing the other teams star halfback for a loss.It was in sports that he first discovered his talents as a leader and an organizer. As a boy, he provided the energy

39、 and leadership that led to a Saturday-afternoon game of football or baseball. Later, he was the one who organized the Abilene High School Athletic Association, which operated independently of the school system. Little Ike wrote to schools in the area to make up a schedule, and solved the problem of

40、 transportation by hustling his team onto freight trains for a free ride from Abilene to the site of the contest.He also organized camping and hunting trips. He got the boys together, collected the money, hired the livery rig to take them to the camping site, bought the food, and did the cooking.The

41、 central importance of sports, hunting, and fishing to Little Ike cannot be overemphasized. He literally could not imagine life without them.（分数：4.00）(1).As can be inferred from the passage, at Lincoln elementary school, Dwight _.A. benefited a lot from rote learningB. was an average studentC. studi

44、the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. Dwights competitiveness.B. Dwights interest in work.C. Dwights talents as a leader.D. Dwights great ambition.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.八、TEXT C(总题数：2，分数：7.00)Why Immersion Teaching WorksAs a Canadian immersion teacher, I was enthused to see the letter from Joh

45、n Whelpton about the Canadian immersion experience (South China Morning Post, June 11). I would like to take this opportunity to expand upon and challenge some of his views.I agree that the Canadian immersion and bilingual schools have been successful in producing functionally bilingual students. In

46、 the province of Manitoba, there are French, Ukrainian, and German immersion schools; Hebrew bilingual schools; and a school for native Indian students. English immersion programs are popular for students from the province of Quebec as well as from countries such as Libya and Japan. However, Mr. Whe

47、lptons suggested condition that teachers in these schools must be fully bilingual may be unnecessary. For example, primary teachers can and do function with a smaller vocabulary than secondary teachers.Secondly, it is doubtful that students will use English because they understand and accept the obj

48、ective of “making English the language of the classroom“ which is a rather sterile motive. One reason that Canadian immersion programs work is because of the commitment to Whole Language Learning, that is, children learn a language, (first or second), by using it to transmit or receive meaningful me

49、ssages that are interesting, real and important.They want to make their needs and desires known and to understand the world around them. Immersion programs integrate language and content in an activity-based, child-centered manner so that the child is motivated to use the second language as a tool to transmit and receive messages related to social and academic inte
