Teaching children to read well from the start is the most important task of elementary schools. But relying on educators to approach this task correctly can be a great mistake. Many schools continue to employ instructional methods that have been proven ineffective. The staying power of the "look-say" or "whole-word" method of teaching beginning reading is perhaps the most flagrant example of this failure to instruct effectively.
The whole-word approach to reading stresses the meaning of words over the meaning of letters, thinking over decoding, developing a sight vocabulary of familiar words over developing the ability to unlock the pronunciation of unfamiliar words. It fits in with the self-directed,"learning how to learn" activities recommended by advocates of "open" classrooms and with the concept that children have to be developmentally ready to begin reading. Before 1963, no major publisher put out anything but these "Run-Spot-Run" readers.
However, in 1955, Rudolf Flesch touched off what has been called "the great debate" in beginning reading. In his best-seller Why Johnny Can"t Read, Flesch indicted the nation"s public schools for miseducating students by using the look-say method. He said——and more scholarly studies by Jeane Chall and Rovert Dykstra later confirmed——that another approach to beginning reading, founded on phonics, is far superior.
Systematic phonics first teaches children to associate letters and letter combinations with
sounds; it then teaches them how to blend these sounds together to make words. Rather than building up a relatively limited vocabulary of memorized words, it imparts a code by which the pronunciations of the vast majority of the most common words in the English language can be learned. Phonics does not devalue the importance of thinking about the meaning of words and sentences; it simply recognizes that decoding is the logical and necessary first step.
The author feels that counting on educators to teach reading correctly is_________. 查看材料
A. only logical and natural
B. the expected position
C. probably a mistake
D. merely effective instruction

The Robot Man
According to Hans Moravec, universal robots will take over all the physical activities that we engage in,leaving us with little to do. Moravec sees four generations on the road to true universal robots. The first generation will be here by 2010 and will consist of free-ranging robots that can navigate by building an internal mental map of their surroundings. In new situations they"ll be able to adapt, unlike today"s mobile industrial robots. These robots will have the computing power to cope with simple speech and text recognition, and will be used for tasks such as domestic cleaning.
The second generation will arrive around 2020 and will be distinguished by the ability to learn. Second generation robots are programmed with sets of primitive tasks and with feedback that provide" pleasure" and" pain" stimuli. For example, a collision provokes a negative response, a completed task would be positive.
Move forward another ten years to 2030 and you get to generation three. This robot can build internal simulations of the world around it. Before beginning a task, it can imagine what will happen in order to predict problems. If it has a free moment, it can replay past experiences and try variations in order to find a better way of doing things next time. It could even observe a person or another robot performing a task and learn by imitation. For the first time, we have here a robot that can think.
By the time we get to generation four in 2040, Moravec predicts that robots will be able to match human reasoning and behaviour; generalise abstract ideas from specific experience; and conversely, compile detailed plans of action from general commands such as "earn a living" or"make more robots".
The Moravec manifesto (宣告) runs something like this. As robots start to become useful in generation one, they"ll begin to take on many tasks in industry. Driven by the availability of this cheap and tireless labour force, the economy will boom and the demand for robots will grow so rapidly that they will soon become low-cost commodity items. So much so that they"ll move into the home, where the domestic robot will relieve us of many chores.
With increasing automation in generations two and three, the length of the average working day will plummet, eventually to near zero. Most people will be unemployed as robots take over not just primary industry, but the service economy too. Moravec sees the fourth generation as an opportunity to surpass our human limitations.
These future machines will be our" mind children". Like biological children of previous generations, they will embody humanity"s best hope for a long-term future.
What will be the distinctive feature of the second generation robots? 查看材料
A.They will be able to recognize speeches and texts.
B.They will be able to learn by themselves.
C.They will be able to predict problems.
D.They will be able to match human reasoning and behaviour.
Almost every child, on the first day he sets foot in a school building, is smarter,
more curious, less afraid of what he doesn’t know, better at finding and 27 , more
confident, resourceful (机敏的), persistent and 28 than he will ever be again in
his schooling – or, unless he is very unusual and very lucky, for the rest of his life.
Already, by paying close attention to and 29 the world and people around him, and
without any school-type formal instruction, he has done a task far more difficult,
complicated and 30 than anything he will be asked to do in school, or than any of his
teachers has done for years. He has solved the 31 of language. He has discovered it
– babies don’t even know that language exists – and he has found out how it works and
learned to use it 32 . He has done it by exploring, by experimenting, by developing
his own model of the grammar of language, by 33 and seeing whether it works, by
gradually changing it and 34 it until it does work. And while he has been doing this,
he has been learning other things as well, including many of the “ 35 ” that the
schools think only they can teach him, and many that are more complicated than the ones
they do try to teach him.

The first navigational lights in the New World were probably lanterns hung at harbor en-trances. The first lighthouse was put up by the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1716 on Little Brewster Island at the entrance to Boston Harbor. Paid for and maintained by "light dues" levied (征收) on ships, the original bcacon was blown up in 1776. Until then there were only a dozen or so true lighthouses in the colonies. Little over a century later, there were 700 lighthouses.
The first eight lighthouses erected on the West Coast in the 1850s featured the same basiC.New Eng.and design:a Cape Cod dwelling with the tower rising from the center or standing close by. In New England and elsewhere, though, lighthouses reflected a variety of architectural styles.
Since most stations in the Northeast were set up on rocky eminences (高出), enormous towers were not the rule. Some were made of stone and brick, others of wood or metal. Some stood on pilings or stilts; some were fastened to rock with iron rods. Farther south, from Maryland through the Florida Keys, the coast was low and sandy. It was often necessary to build tall towers there——massive structures like the majestiC.lighthouse in Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, which was lit in 1870. 190 feet high, it is the tallest brick lighthouse in the country.
Not withstanding differences in construction appearance, most lighthouses in America shared several features : a light, living quarters, and sometimes a bell (or, later, a foghorn). They also had something else in common: a keeper and usually the keeper"s family. The keeper"s essential task was trimming the lantern wick (灯芯) in order to maintain a steady, bright flame. The earliest keepers came from every walk of life, they were seamen, farmers, mechanics, rough mill hands and appointments were often handed out by local customs commissioners as political plums. After the administration of lighthouse was taken over in 1852 by the United States Lighthouse Board, and agencv of the Treasury Department, the keeper corps gradually became highly profes-sional.
Which is the best title for the passage? 查看材料
A.The Lighthouse on Little Brewster Island.
B.The Life of a Lighthouse Keeper.
C.Early Lighthouses in the United States.
D.The Modern Profession of Lighthouse-keeping.
