六、阅读理解
At School in the 1950s ... Today
“Smith.”
A boy stands up.
“Stand straight.”
“Yes, sir.”
“What's 63×84 ”
A short silence. There are no calculators.
“5 292, sir.”
“Yes. Sit down.”
This is a scene from a 1950s British classroom. The boys, all in their uniform and all with short hair, sit at their desks in the classroom. The teacher stands at the front and gives instructions ( .. / .. / .. / .. / NSE / NSE-SH1 / Template / Normal / temp2.html ). The boys write what he says or writes on the blackboard into their books. No explanation is given. They use old ink-pens and most of them have plenty of ink on their hands.
The lesson isn't very exciting. Aren't they bored ( .. / .. / .. / .. / NSE / NSE-SH1 / Template / Normal / temp2.html )
All these boys really live in the 21st century. They are part of a reality television programme that gives teenagers ( .. / .. / .. / .. / NSE / NSE-SH1 / Template / Normal / temp2.html ) the experience of what it was like to go to school in the past. Fifty years ago, boys and girls in Britain usually went to different schools. Rules about uniform and behaviour ( .. / .. / .. / .. / NSE / NSE-SH1 / Template / Normal / temp2.html ) were usually stricter ( .. / .. / .. / .. / NSE / NSE-SH1 / Template / Normal / temp2.html ), and handwriting, spelling and pronunciation were even more important. Of course, there were no computers, and the textbooks and many teaching methods ( .. / .. / .. / .. / NSE / NSE-SH1 / Template / Normal / temp2.html ) were less interesting. They had History, Literature ( .. / .. / .. / .. / NSE / NSE-SH1 / Template / Normal / temp2.html ), Mathematics and Geography, though there were less people studying science subjects like Physics, Chemistry and Biology. Printing and photocopying was difficult, so most notes had to be written out by hand.
If we go back 200 years in Britain, there is even more difference. Not everyone went to school, or they only went for a few years to learn to read and write. Girls were taught at home. Often the teacher taught the senior boys; they taught the boys in the middle and then the juniors, so progress was slow. Most of the time was spent learning languages, like French and German, and English literature ( .. / .. / .. / .. / NSE / NSE-SH1 / Template / Normal / temp2.html ). There was very little physical education in schools—that started about 150 years ago. We would be very bored ( .. / .. / .. / .. / NSE / NSE-SH1 / Template / Normal / temp2.html ) in one of these schools, and we might be frightened ( .. / .. / .. / .. / NSE / NSE-SH1 / Template / Normal / temp2.html ). If a student could not answer a question, he would get into a lot of trouble. Classrooms would not be comfortable, and they would probably be very cold in winter.
It's really amazing ( .. / .. / .. / .. / NSE / NSE-SH1 / Template / Normal / temp2.html ) how much the world has changed!
In the 1950s classroom, ____.
the boys and girls had short hair
students used calculators
C. students copied notes by hand
2. The writer thinks that ____.
A．lessons were less interesting in the past
B．teachers were stricter ( .. / .. / .. / .. / NSE / NSE-SH1 / Template / Normal / temp2.html ) in the past
C. copying notes is a good idea
3. In Britain around 1800, ____.
A．the girls went to different schools than the boys
B．older students often taught younger ones
C. there were not many subjects on the school timetable ( .. / .. / .. / .. / NSE / NSE-SH1 / Template / Normal / temp2.html )
