floating down a river in a canoe? do you ever throw your school lunch leftovers into a compost (混合肥料) bin when you are finished? they are all part of a regular school day at barnard environmental studies magnet school in new haven, connecticut. known as a “green” school, barnard attracts students from all over the region who are interested in environmental studies. “we do earth day all the year round,” said marjorie drucker, barnards magnet resource teacher. with the schools special classes, its 325 students study the environment all day long. “being green means that everything in the building is designed with the environment in mind,” drucker told scholastic news. for example, the lights go off when people leave the room, and special windows provide “passive light”, cutting down on the need for electric lighting. when a window is open, the air-conditioning automatically turns off. conserving energy is not all that students do to help the environment. while learning about the dying salmon population in the connecticut rivers, students also do something to help out- they raise more salmon. in the classrooms there are fish tanks containing salmon eggs. the eggs are kept in water at two degrees celsius. after the eggs hatch, students observe the baby salmon through all the stages of development, and then release the adult salmon into connecticut rivers. composting is another part of taking care of the environment at barnard students deal with their lunches by throwing the remaining food into a compost bin in a greenhouse. the compost is used to help grow plants. at barnard, almost everything has to do with the environment. students sing songs about the environment; their artworks have something to do with the environment; even their math classes are focused on protecting the environment. barnard offers chances that students cant get in a regular school. the schools goal is to teach children to be good environmental role models. they also learn to live in a different way. to attend the school, students have to apply and express their interest in protecting the environment. “students come here because they care about the environment,” said drucker.they

are required to teach handwriting.but studies have yet to answer the question of how well they are teaching it. one study published this year found that about three out of every four teachers say they are not prepared to teach handwriting. some teachers are teaching handwriting by providing instruction for 10 15 minutes a day, and then other teachers who basically teach it for 60 to 70 minutes a day which really for handwriting is pretty much.many adults remember learning that way by copying letters over and over again. today s thinking is that short periods of practice are better. many experts also think handwriting should not be taught by itself.instead, they say it should be used as a way to get students to express ideas. after all, that is why we write.handwriting involves two skills. one is legibility,_which means forming the letters so they can be read. the other is fluency writing without having to think about it. fluency continues to develop up until high school.but not everyone masters these skills. teachers commonly report that about onefourth of their kids have poor handwriting. some people might think handwriting is not important any more because of computers and voice recognition programs.but steve graham at vanderbilt says word processing is rarely done in elementary school, especially in the early years. american children traditionally first learn to print, and then to write in cursive, which connects the letters. but guess what we learned from a spokeswoman for the college board, which administers the sat college admission test. more than 75 percent of students choose to print their essay on the test rather than write in cursive.語篇解讀文章介紹了在鍵盤普及的年代美國的書法教學(xué)情況。1we can learn _ from paragraph 1.a. teaching handwriting is a basic requirement in teaching jobb. most teachers prefer to teach handwritingc. teachers spend little time in teaching handwritingd. a keyboard has taken the place of the handwriting entirely解析推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中“90% of teachers say they are required to teach handwriting”可知書法教學(xué)是基本的教學(xué)要求，a項為正確推論。根據(jù)“one study published this year found that about three out of every four teachers say they are not prepared to teach handwriting”可知，很多老師不愿意教書法課，b項錯誤；根據(jù)第一段末句可知c項錯誤；根據(jù)全段判斷，只是說鍵盤普及使一些人認(rèn)為書法漸漸過時了，d項錯誤。答案a2which of the following is wrong for traditional handwriting in the usa?a. the students are taught by practicing a long period.b. the letters are repeated many times.c. handwriting includes two skills.d. to write in cursive is taught first.解析細(xì)節(jié)認(rèn)定題。根據(jù)第二段可知，傳統(tǒng)的書法教學(xué)重復(fù)很多遍并且持續(xù)時間長，因此a、b兩項內(nèi)容正確。根據(jù)第三段第一句可知c項內(nèi)容正確；根據(jù)最后一段第二句可知d項內(nèi)容錯誤。答案d3the underlined word “l(fā)egibility” in paragraph 3 means _.a. easy to read b. complexc. unexpected d. unreadable解析推測詞義題。根據(jù)下文“which means forming the letters so they can be read”可推測畫線詞的意思是“清楚，易讀”。答案a4the best title for the passage is _.a. how to improve handwriting in schoolb. right or wrong: the death of handwritingc. handwriting involves two skillsd. handwriting lessons are on the way out解析標(biāo)題歸納題。作者對美國書法教學(xué)的現(xiàn)狀作了敘述，沒有自己的主觀評論，故選擇b。a項沒有涉及，c項只是其中一部分內(nèi)容，d項只是一部分人的觀點(diǎn)。答案b5the author s attitude towards whether still to learn handwriting in school is_.a. negative b. objectivec. critical d. optimistic解析態(tài)度判斷題。根據(jù)全文的敘述，作者只是將美國書法教學(xué)的現(xiàn)狀和不同人的觀點(diǎn)呈現(xiàn)出來，并沒有發(fā)表自己的見解，因此作者持客觀的態(tài)度。答案b長難句解讀one study published this year found that about three out of every four teachers say they are not prepared to teach handwriting.今年公布的一項研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，大約每四個教師中就有三個說他們不準(zhǔn)備教書法了。published this year為過去分詞短語作后置定語，found后面為賓語從句，其中又含有一個賓語從句they are not
