九年级英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

The students are quieting down in their seats. The teacher begins to give lessons. Then she asks a question for the class to answer, and the students all react in separate ways.

Each student is special with different strengths and weaknesses. Because of this fact, different students learn differently. While some may learn by quickly answering the teacher's question, speaking up with ease and comfort, others may learn just as well by listening to their classmates and teacher speak. These students should not be punished for learning the way they do, but when teachers grade class participation (参与), that is exactly what they are doing.

According to a survey carried out by Bonnie M. Miller, a professor at University of Massachusetts Boston, 60%of her students believe that grading participation does not encourage them to participate more in class. They feel more comfortable expressing their thoughts if they know what they say will not be given a number later on.

Some other students believe that when class participation is graded, teachers are awarding outgoing students while punishing shy ones. Grading class participation sends the message that shy students are not good students. It makes them feel like they should be outgoing, loud, and able to learn by talking, which makes them feel uncomfortable.

In my experience with classes where class participation was graded, I felt difficult to do well. For example, instead of being able to fully focus on what my teacher and classmates said, my mind would race with the things that I could possibly share in the class discussion. Either I would be too slow in raising my hand, or feel too nervous to lift it at all. Imagining my falling grades, wishing that I could somehow be a more outgoing person, suddenly my thoughts would be interrupted by the sound of my classmates getting up to leave, and I would realize that I learned nearly nothing that class.

What's more, by focusing on the students who talk the most in class, teachers fail to award students who may be good listeners-a skill that is as important as being able to talk in front of a group of people.

Teachers can increase class participation by providing different ways of grading participation that are acceptable to different personalities and learning ways. For example, they can give students opportunities to write their ideas.

Most importantly, teachers should create classrooms where students want to learn.

1.According to the passage, in a class where participation is graded, ________.

A.most students are likely to act actively

B.some students feel stressed to be who they are

C.students are forced to listen to their classmates

D.students are encouraged to learn the way they prefer

2.The writer talks about his own experience in Paragraph 5 to explain ________.

A.why students care much about grades

B.why listening is as important as speaking up

C.how grading participation influences learning process

D.how students feel when preparing for speaking up in class3

3.What's the writer's main purpose in writing the passage?

A.To remind teachers of the importance of grading properly in class.

B.To tell students the effect their personalities have on learning.

C.To encourage teachers to keep students active in class.

D.To provide students with ways to participate in class.

The summer sun is out, and we're beginning to feel the heat. Before you go outside to have fun, make sure you put on the right things!

Do you know what kind of clothes can make you look hot and keep you cool? Here are some ideas for clothes to help you look great.

Fun colors and cartoons are back from the 1980s this year; the dirty look is out. People will be looking for fresh bright colors this summer. Girls in pink look cute and sweet. And green makes everyone look more lively. Some of the best colours are cotton candy pink and lime green. These soft colours go well with jeans or just about anything else. As soon as you put on one of these colours, you'll feel like a star!

Some girls like something more interesting than all solid(单一的) colours. For them, there are lots of floral patterns (花卉图案) to choose from in shirts, dresses or skirts. A floral shirt looks nice with a light-coloured solid skirt or trousers.

Of course, jeans are in for boys. If you get too hot, try something lighter, like khaki cargo pants. They'll have enough pockets to keep everything you need for studying, playing and keeping cool! Army green is all the rage(盛行) this year.

1.This passage mainly tells us ____.

2.The underlined word “in” probably means ____.

3.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

4.Khaki cargo pants are special because they ____.

5.Which of the following colours may not look good in summer according to the passage?
