单选题One important thing during the pre-Christmas rush at our house was the arrival of my daughter"s kindergarten report card. She got high praise for her reading, vocabulary and overall enthusiasm. On the other hand, we learnt that she has work to do on her numbers and facility with the computer, though the detailed handwritten report her teachers prepared is absent of any words that might be interpreted as negative in describing her efforts. A number system indicates how she"s measuring up in each area without any mention of passing or failing. All of which seems to make my daughter"s school neither fish nor fowl when it comes to the debate over the merits of giving formal grades to kids. At one level, the advantages and disadvantages are obvious. A grade system provides a straightforward standard by which to measure how your child is progressing at school—and how he or she is getting on compared to other children. But as writer Sue Ferguson notes, "Grades can deceive." The aim should be "to measure learning, not simply what a student can recall on a test." The two aren"t the same—and if you doubt that as an adult, ask yourself whether you could sit down without any preparation and still pass those high-school-level examinations. If you"re old enough, you"ve lived through this debate before. At one time, it was considered unfair to put children in direct competition with one another if it could be avoided. The intention behind that may have been good, but it ignored the fact that competition, and the will to come out on top, are essential components of the human condition. This time around, educators working with a no-grades approach are emphasizing different reasons. The thing is, that approach is much more commonplace in the adult workplace than is the traditional pass-fail system we place on our children. Many workplaces conduct regular employee evaluations. There are usually fairly strict limits to what an employer can tell an employee in those evaluations—and even then, negative evaluations can be challenged by the employee. No matter where you sit in the debate over the grade system, then, the real question is this: if it"s so good for kids, why isn"t that also true for adults?

单选题 {{B}}Text{{/B}} … Dramatic Peak District, with its genuine steep fells, never fails to astonish me. A car will{{U}} (9) {{/U}}you all round the Peak District{{U}} (10) {{/U}}a morning. It is nothing{{U}} (11) {{/U}}a crumpled green handkerchief. {{U}}(12) {{/U}}, we hear of search parties going out there to find{{U}} (13) {{/U}}travelers. I have never explored this region properly, and so it remains to me a country of{{U}} (14) {{/U}}. I could go on with this list of surprises, but perhaps you had better make your own. Another{{U}} (15) {{/U}}of our landscape is its exquisite moderation. It has been born of a compromise{{U}} (16) {{/U}}wildness and tameness, between Nature and Man. One{{U}} (17) {{/U}}for this is that it contains that exquisite{{U}} (18) {{/U}}between Nature and Man. The fence and the gate are man-made, but are not severely regular and trim{{U}} (19) {{/U}}they would be in some other countries. The trees and hedges, the grass and{{U}} (20) {{/U}}flowers, all suggest that Nature has not been forced{{U}} (21) {{/U}}obedience. The irregularity and coloring of the cottage make it{{U}} (22) {{/U}}snugly into the landscape, and you feel it might have grown there, because it looks nearly as much a piece of natural history as the trees. In some countries, the cottage would have declared, "Man, the drainer, the tiller, the builder, has settled here. " In this English{{U}} (23) {{/U}}there is no such direct opposition. Men and trees and flowers, we feel, have all settled down comfortably together. The motto is, "Live and let live. " This exquisite{{U}} (24) {{/U}}between Nature and Man explains in part the charm of the older Britain. The whole town fitted snugly into the landscape, {{U}}(25) {{/U}}they were no more than bits of woodland; and roads went{{U}} (26) {{/U}}the easiest way as{{U}} (27) {{/U}}as rivers. It was impossible to say where cultivation ended and wild life began. It was a country rich{{U}} (28) {{/U}}trees, birds, and wild flowers, as we can see to this day.
