6、ency and the privatization of some services (for example, cleaning).

C。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后

12、一自然段最后一句可知，建立國(guó)家保健中心的最初目的是為農(nóng)村居民提供免費(fèi)的基本健康護(hù)理，而不是針對(duì)所有的人，所以前兩項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤。42. C。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第4自然段“The NHS is the biggest employer in Europe”可知。從第二自然段第一句可以看出國(guó)家保健中心由中央政府直接負(fù)責(zé)，但由地方當(dāng)局管理，所以A項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤。43. B。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一自然段話“and encouraging GPs to compete for patients”可知政府鼓勵(lì)全科醫(yī)生之間相互競(jìng)爭(zhēng)，而不是讓他們進(jìn)行競(jìng)賽，看誰(shuí)的醫(yī)術(shù)高明。44.

Teaching children to read is not passing reading on

14、to them. It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that“ reading cannot be taught directly and schools should stop trying to do the impossible”.Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They differ in kind and function. The function of tea

15、ching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read. Teaching is also public activity. It can be seen and observed.Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the wo

16、rld of printed language. Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process is not open to public scrutiny.If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable ,what then can be done through teaching that will aid the child in the quest（探索）for knowledge? Smith h

17、as one principal rule for all teaching instructions. “Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children. ”When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teacher and learner fulfill them appropriately,

18、then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is eliminated. Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of leaning to read by reading.46The problem with the reading course as mentioned in the first par

19、agraph is that _.A. it is one of the most difficult school coursesB. students spend endless hours in readingC. reading tasks are assigned with little guidanceD. too much time is spent in teaching about reading47The teaching of reading will be successful if _.A. teachers can improve conditions at sch

23、統(tǒng)的閱讀教學(xué)方式進(jìn)行批判的同時(shí)，論述了作者自己閱讀的教學(xué)觀：閱讀的教與學(xué)是兩個(gè)完全不同的過(guò)程。教學(xué)的任務(wù)是為學(xué)生能夠找出自己最有效的自學(xué)閱讀的方法創(chuàng)造條件和氛圍。學(xué)生的閱讀能力并不是通過(guò)教師教就能掌握的；教師應(yīng)做的是給學(xué)生創(chuàng)造一個(gè)好的環(huán)境和條件，激發(fā)學(xué)生閱讀的渴望，培養(yǎng)出良好的閱讀習(xí)慣、方法。只有這樣，學(xué)生才能掌握閱讀技能，提高閱讀水平。46D。推理判斷題。依據(jù)文章第一自然段第3行“It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading.”（教學(xué)生如何閱讀當(dāng)然不是帶著學(xué)生花費(fèi)大量的時(shí)間去一點(diǎn)一點(diǎn)地讀）?？梢钥闯?，作

24、者認(rèn)為現(xiàn)在教閱讀的時(shí)間太多了，這當(dāng)然是因?yàn)榻潭唤谭?。所以選項(xiàng)D正確。47B。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。依據(jù)文章第二自然段第2行開(kāi)始的句子：“The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselvesto read”（教學(xué)的任務(wù)是為學(xué)生能夠找出自己最有效的自學(xué)閱讀的方法創(chuàng)造條件和氛圍），B項(xiàng)符合上述意思，為正確答案。48B。意義猜測(cè)題

25、。該題為猜測(cè)詞義。inquiry“詢問(wèn)”。observation“觀察”。control“控制”。suspicion“懷疑”。該詞出現(xiàn)在第三自然段最后一句“process is not open to public scrutiny”，考生可從該句的上文作出推測(cè)。最明顯的提示出現(xiàn)在第二自然段最后一句“Teaching is also a public activity；it can be seen and observed”所以，scrutiny最可能的詞義應(yīng)該是observation，故B項(xiàng)正確。49A。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。依據(jù)文章第四自然段、第五自然段所提供的信息，特別是第5段第3行“Learni

26、ng to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of learning to read by reading”（當(dāng)教師們創(chuàng)造了一種環(huán)境，使孩子們有機(jī)會(huì)自己通過(guò)閱讀解決所遇到的問(wèn)題時(shí)，學(xué)習(xí)閱讀就變得容易多了），可以看出A項(xiàng)與之最為相近。50C。主旨大意題。依據(jù)文章第一自然段第4行“reading cannot be taught directly and”說(shuō)明學(xué)生的閱讀能力并不是通過(guò)教師教就能掌握的

27、。教師應(yīng)做的是給學(xué)生創(chuàng)造一個(gè)好的環(huán)境和條件，激發(fā)學(xué)生閱讀的渴望，培養(yǎng)出良好的閱讀習(xí)慣、方法。只有這樣，學(xué)生才能掌握閱讀技能，提高閱讀水平。所以選項(xiàng)C正確。其他選項(xiàng)與文章討論的范圍不符。C（words:348&282）TAIBEIIncreasing numbers of Taiwanese students are joining the islands “China rush”, seeking education on the Chinese mainland According to official Chinese figures, the number of Taiwanes
