"Nothing matters more to a child’s education than good teachers." Anyone who’s ever had a Ms. Green or a Mr. Miller whom they remember fondly instinctively knows this to be true. And while "Who’s teaching my kid " is an important question for parents to ask, there may be an equally essential (and rarely remarked upon)question-"Who’s teaching my kid’s teachers "
On Thursday, Secretary of Education Arne Duncan went to Columbia University’s Teachers College, the oldest teacher-training school in the nation, and delivered a speech blasting the education schools that have trained the majority of the 3.2 million teachers working in U. S. public schools today.

[填空题]Questions 47 to 51 are based on the following passage.
Personality is to a large extent inherent—A type parents usually bring about a type offspring. But the environment must also have a profound effect, since if competition is important to the parents, it is likely to become a major fact or in the lives of their children.
One place where children soak up A characteristics is school, which is, by its very nature, a highly competitive institution. Too many schools adopt the win at all costs moral standard and measure their success by sporting achievements. The current passion for making children compete against their classmates or against the clock produces a two-layer system, in which competitive A types seem in some way better than their B type fellows. Being too keen to win can have dangerous consequences: remember that Philippines, the first marathon runner, dropped dead seconds after saying: "Rejoice, we conquer!"
By far the worst form of competit

Here is a popular belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in spelling. This is, however, a (47) . No school I have taught in has ever ignored spelling or considered it (48) as a basic skill. There are, however, (49) different ideas about how to teach it, or how much priority it must be given over general language development and writing ability.

[单项选择] Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.
We find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed-ability teaching. On the contrary, both their knowledge and experience are enriched. We feel that there are many disadvantages in streaming pupils. It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates. It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright children. After all, it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade!
Besides, it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual ability. This is only one aspect of their total personality. We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full, not just their academic ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning.
In our classrooms, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups: This gi

[单项选择] Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.
Even plants can run a fever, especially when they’re under attack by insects or disease. But unlike humans, plants can have their temperature taken from 3,000 feet away-straight up. A decade ago, adapting the infrared (红外线的) scanning technology developed for military purposes and other satellites, physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops to determine which ones are under stress. The goal was to let farmers precisely target pesticide (杀虫剂) spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field, which invariably includes plants that don’t have pest(害虫)problems.
Even better, Paley’s Remote Scanning Services Company cold detect crop problems before they became visible to the eye. Mounted on a plane flown at 3,000 feet at night, an infra-red scanner measured the heat emitted by crops. The data were transformed into a color-coded map showing where plants were running "fevers".
A. resorting to spot-spraying
B. consulting infra-red scanning experts
C. transforming poisoned rain
D. detecting crop problems at an early date
