10、riment ( D) decision Part A Directions: Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. (40 points) 21 Bilingual education in New York City was originally viewed as a transitional program that would teach foreign-born children in their native languages u
11、ntil they were fluent enough in English to enter the educational mainstream. But over the last 25 years, bilingual programs at many schools have become foreign-language ghettos from which many children never escape. The need to expose foreign-born students to more English during the school day and t
12、o move them as quickly as possible into the mainstreamwas underscored this week in a pair of reports, one from Mayor Rudolph Giulianis task force on bilingual education and one form Schools Chancellor Harold Levy. The push to reform bilingual education has intensified across the country since the Si
13、licon Valley millionaire Ron K. Unz championed a ballot initiative that ended bilingual education in California two years ago. Opponents of bilingual education want it replaced with the so-called immersion method, in which students are forced to “sink or swim“ in classes taught entirely in English.
14、Immersion has at least a chance of success in the early grades, where children are mainly being taught to read and write. But it is a recipe for failure in the upper grades, where older foreign-born students must simultaneously learn English and master complex subjects like math, science and literat
15、ure. Mayor Giuliani and Schools Chancellor Levy have wisely called for reforming special education instead of dismantling it. Both reports want to end the practice of dragooning children into the system, and call on administrators to offer parents a range of choices. Instead of automatically assigni
16、ng students to bilingual classes where they take subjects like mathematics and social studies in their native languages parents would be allowed to choose other options, including the strategy of English as a second language, in which most instruction is offered in English. Children would be moved i
17、nto the mainstream as quickly as possible, preferably within three years. But these sensible reforms have little chance of succeeding unless the city and the state act quickly to train and recruit teachers who can perform the needed task. Nearly 30 percent of bilingual instructors are uncertified. S
18、ome have not even mastered the languages they have been hired to teach. True reform will require dollars, determination and a qualified teacher in every classroom. 21 Which word can best describe the authors attitude to the two reports frequently mentioned? ( A) Supportive. ( B) Negative. ( C) Indif
19、ferent. ( D) Objective. 22 According to the passage, “sink or swim“(Sentence 2, Paragraph 2)is_. ( A) absolutely wrong. ( B) partly right. ( C) a good idea. ( D) a proven method. 23 Which of the following is NOT included in the two reports concerned? ( A) rents and children should have more right to
20、 choose courses. ( B) English may.be taught as a second language. ( C) Schools should establish a system so that students may be moved into the mainstream as soon as possible. ( D) Bilingual education is out of date and should be replaced by a brand-new teaching system. 24 The word “dragoon“(Sentenc
21、e 2, Paragraph 3) probably means_. ( A) deceive ( B) lead ( C) force ( D) manage 25 At the end of the passage, suggestions are made EXCEPT_. ( A) that the city and state take actions to improve bilingual education. ( B) that teachers who make contributions in this field be rewarded. ( C) that school
22、s be in great need of qualified teachers. ( D) that measures be taken to change the current situation. 26 In a perfectly free and open market economy, the type of employer government or private-should have little or no impact on the earnings differentials between women and men. However, if there is
23、discrimination against one sex, it is unlikely that the degree of discrimination by government and private employers will be the same. Differences in the degree of discrimination would result in earnings differentials associated with the type of employer. Given the nature of government and private e
24、mployers, it seems most likely that discrimination by private employers would be greater. Thus, one would expect that, if women are being discriminated against, government employment would have a positive effect on womens earnings as compared with their earnings from private employment.
