They have more money, more funding and better resources and they dont have the more challenging students we get in the state sector. That was before I became a teacher-researcher in a two-year project led by my college, aiming to find the best way to support high-ability students. With funding from the London Schools Excellence Fund, we teamed up with some of the countrys top private schools, like Eton and St Pauls, as well as a number of state schools, to find out how to bring the knowledge-rich learning that characterizes independent schools into the state sector. Before the project, I hadnt had much contact with people who had been educated there. But the first thing I found when I visited was that teachers are the same. In the independent sector, they have challenges toojust different ones. After two years, our research project has produced a huge set of findings. One of the most useful findings was the importance of independent learning habits outside the classroom. I realized that although I was always telling students that they needed to do four to five hours of private study a week, they didnt have a clear idea of what this could look like beyond making notes. So I set them different activities including reading articles, doing activities and completing examination questions. I started to put much more emphasis on activities outside the classroom, like researching topics beyond the syllabus（教学大纲） or discussing things in the news. And I praised anyone who asked questions in class, so we created a culture where students were proud to ask a question rather than seeing it as a way of flagging up the fact that they hadnt understood something. My research is beginning to have a real influence. My students now come to class and tell me what they want to know about. But they no longer expect me to do the researchthey want to find out for themselves. At the end of the year I gave students a questionnaire on independent learning. One wrote, “Independent learning would limit the help I got from other students. It helps you to think for yourself.”24. What did the author say about independent school students before her research?

It is questioned by her students. D. It involves many more students.C Squirrels arent natural city dwellers（居民）. In 1986 the sight of one in a tree near New Yorks city hall so surprised passers-by that a newspaper published a report about the “unusual visitor”. Around that time, the tree-dwelling animals were being set free in Americas urban areas to “create pockets of peace and calm like the countryside,” says University of Pennsylvania historian Etienne Benson, who studied our relationship to squirrels over the course of five years. First, they were introduced to Philadelphia, then to New Haven, Boston, and New York City. Park visitors were encouraged to feed them, and security guards ensured their safety. In the 1910s a leader of the Boy Scouts of America（an organization teaching boys practical skills）said that teaching children to feed squirrels could show the rewards of treating a weaker creature with sympathy, says Benson. By the early 20th century, though, America began to regret the friendliness it had shown squirrels. Cities had once been filled with animalsfrom horses pulling goods to dairy cows. By the 1950s those working animals had been moved to the countryside. Pets and wild animals such as birds and squirrels were all that remained of the urban animal kingdom. Before long, peoples enthusiasm for squirrels wore off, and they started to see them as annoyances. By the 1970s many parks banned feeding the creatures. Today, it is rare to find kids with their parents offering food to squirrels under a tree. And, unfortunately, with more and more buildings being constructed in the city, fewer inhabitable（适宜栖息的）areas are left for the little tree-dwelling animals. What would be lost if the last of these city dwellers were forced to leave? “I think theres something constructive to have other living creatures in the city that are not humans and not pets but share the land with us,” says Benson. “Its a good thing to live in a landscape where you see other creatures going around making lunch. Its good for the soul.”28. Whats the purpose of introducing squirrels to Philadelphia? A. To entertain park visitors. B. To keep the natural balance. C. To encourage kids to protect animals. D. To make the urban life more peaceful.29. What was the Boy Scouts leaders attitude towards feeding squirrels?A. Disagreeable. B. Doubtful. C. Supportive. D. Uncaring.30. What might have happened to squirrels in cities around the 1960s? A. They might have inhabited more homes. B. They might have begun to go out of favor. C. They might have been introduced to more cities. D. They might have been moved to the countryside.31. What does Benson suggest in the last paragraph? A. Squirrels living in cities are annoying. B. Feeding squirrels should be discouraged. C. Squirrels should be allowed to live in cities. D. It is possible for people to keep squirrels as pets.D Pigeons in London have a bad reputation. Some people call them flying rats. And many blame them for causing pollution with their droppings. But now the birds are being used to fight another kind of pollution in this city of 8.5 million. “The problem for air pollution is that its been largely ignored as an issue for a long time,” says Andrea Lee, who works for the London-based environmental organization Client Earth. “People dont realize how bad it is, and how it actually affects their health.” Londons poor air quality is linked to nearly 10,000 early deaths a year. Lee says, citing（引用）a report released by the city manager last year. If people were better informed about the pollution they re breathing, she says, they could pressure the government to do something about it. Nearby, on a windy hill in Londons Regents Park, an experiment is underway that could helpthe first week of flights by the Pigeon Air Patrol. It all began when Pierre Duquesnoy, the director for DigitasLBi, a marketing firm, won a London Design Festival contest last year to show how a world problem could be solved using Twitter. Duquesnoy, from France, chose the problem of air pollution. “Basically, I realized how important the problem was,” he says. “But also I realized that most of the people around me didnt know anything about it.” Duquesnoy says he wants to better measure pollution, while at the same time making the results accessible to the public through Twitter. “So”, he wondered, “how could we go across the city quickly collecting as much data as possible?” Drones were his first thought. But its illegal to fly them over London. “But pigeons can fly above London, right?” he says. “They liveactually, they are Londoners as well. So, yeah, I thought about using pigeons equipped with mobile apps. And we can use not just street pigeons, but racing pigeons, because they fly pretty quickly and pretty low.” So it might be time for Londoners to have more respect for their pigeons. The birds may just be helping to improve the quality of the citys air.32. What can we infer about Londons air quality from Paragraph 2? A. Londoners are very satisfied with it. B. The government is trying to improve it. C. Londoners should pay more attention to it. D. The government has done a lot to improve it.33. Duquesnoy attended the London Design Festival to _. A. entertain Londoners. B. solve a world problem. C. design a product for sale. D. protect animals like pigeons.34. Why did Duquesnoy give up using drones to fly across London? A. Because they are too expensive. B. Because they fly too quickly. C. Because they are forbidden. D. Because they fly too high.35. Which can be the best title for the text? A. Clean air in London. B. Londons dirty secret. C. Londons new pollution fighter. D. Causes of air pollution in London.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节。满分45分） Two years ago, something happened that changed me and changed how I lived in my neighborhood.
