湖北省华中师范大学第一附属中学2018-2019学年高二上学期英语期末考试试卷

阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

    Crows(乌鸦) are remarkably intelligent birds. Now these feathered geniuses are given a job: Six crows have been trained to pick up rubbish in the Puy du Fou historical theme park in western France. Whenever the six crows put cigarette ends or other small  (piece) of trash in a special container, it offers a treat to reward the crows  their efforts.

    The idea came from one of the park's employees, Christophe. In 2012, the theme park held a show during which the crows picked up roses and brought them to a “princess”. It was the show  inspired him. Since then, six crows (raise) and trained to do the same with rubbish. The training system is similar to the one for testing crows' intelligence,  a food dispenser(分发器) gives away a food reward when a crow  (correct) performs a task. Christophe also introduced other species of birds to go through the training.  (compare) with other birds, crows are much cleverer.

    The purpose of  (train) the crows is to educate the people to reflect on themselves. Since the birds are able to protect the environment, we need to care about it too. “It is  funny way to remind people not (throw) the rubbish everywhere,” said Christophe.

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

    English perfectly shows the "network effects" of a global tongue: the more people use it, the more useful it is. Parents expect their children {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(master)English, which is encouraging the {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(grow)of private schooling. Education authorities are switching to English medium, in part to control the outflow(外流) of children into the private sector.

Teaching children in English is fine if that is {#blank#}3{#/blank#} they speak at home and their parents are fluent {#blank#}4{#/blank#} it. But that is not {#blank#}5{#/blank#} case in most public and low-cost private schools. Children are taught in a language they don't understand by teachers {#blank#}6{#/blank#} English is poor. The children learn neither English nor anything else.

    Research shows that children learn {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(much)when they are taught in their mother tongue than they do when they are taught in any other language. In a study of children in 12 schools in Cameroon last month, those taught in Kom {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(do)better than those taught in English in all subjects.

    English should be an important subject at school, but not {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(necessary)the language of instruction. Rather than switching to English-medium teaching, governments fearful of {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(lose) custom (光顾) to the private sector should look at the many possible ways of improving public schools.
