Paul passed and went to a “grammar school”. Baz failed the examination and went to a “secondary modern school”. They did not see each other again for years,Many grammar schools _2_ （establish） hundreds of years ago to teach the Latin language to children who were not from rich families. They encouraged students _3_ （study） until they were 18 and then to go to university. Secondary modern school students left at 16, usually with fewer qualifications than grammar school students. Baz says the secondary modern school had _4_（few） resources and the quality of teaching was not as good.Things have changed. In the 1960 s and the 1970s “comprehensive schools” were created. Today, 90 percent children aged 11 to 16 from the same area to the same school without _5_ （take） any entry examination.The British often disagrees about the best way _6_ （educate） their children. Many people say that comprehensive schools help more children to succeed because they provide everybody _7_ similar opportunities in a fairer way. Another view, though, is that more intelligent children, especially _8_ from poor homes are better supported at grammar schools. Now, the government plans to open new grammar schools _9_ almost two million children will go to the same type of school that Paul attended.And Paul and Baz? Aged 60, they met again and compared what had happened to them. After university, Paul was qualified as a teacher _10_ Baz went to work in a factory at 16 and later became an engineer. In fact, Baz had a much higher salary than Paul so perhaps life is fair after all.Section B（10分）Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Among the note-taking forms in todays US schools, the Cornell method is widely recommended.

The note-taking column, which is usually on the right, is twice the size of the key word column on the left. The student should leave five to seven lines blank, at the bottom of the page.Notes from a lecture or teaching occupy the note-taking column which _12_ contain the main ideas of the textbook or lecture. Most _13_ ideas and long sentences are avoided while _14_ or abbreviations （缩写） are preferred instead. To assist with future reviews, _15_ thoughts or questions should be noted down as soon as possible so that the students may _16_ to these points for reflection or further research. The key-word column is a(n) _17_ place to note down these ideas. These ideas may later turn into potential research results as students are always encouraged to reflect on the notes _18_ or go deep into the questions further.Within 24 hours after the note-taking, the student must revise and then produce a short summary in the bottom space. Such move helps him to _19_ the topic better. When preparing for a test, the student has _20_ to a brief but detailed record of the previous classes.II.

At first I thought it was a crazy idea because I didnt have a good sense of _24_, nor did I have the team ability to keep pace with the others on the team and they would tease me. But for the teacher who kept insisting on my “going for it”, I wouldnt have decided to give a try.Taking the _25_ to go to the tryouts was only the half of it! When I first started attending the practice sessions I didnt even know the rules of the game. Sometimes Id get _26_ and take a shot at the wrong directionwhich made me feel really stupid. _27_, I wasnt the only one “new” at the game, so I decided to _28_ learning the game, do my best at each practice session, and not be too hard on myself for the things I didnt know “just yet”.I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the _29_ and the “moves”. Being part of a team was fun and exciting. Very soon the competitive part in me was winning over my _30_ confidence. With time, I learned how to play and made friends in the process friends who _31_ my efforts to work hard and be a team player. I never had so much fun!With my improved self-confidence comes more _32_ from teachers and classmates. I have gone from “_33_” in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call _34_ to myself, to raising my handeven when I sometimes wasnt and not 100 percent _35_ I had the right answer.
