Passage One
What do we talk about when we talk about money? We often think about what we can buy whit the money we have, what
're planning to we can ' t buy because we don ' t have enough and what we buy when we have more. We discuss the
careers that bring us money and the expenses that take it away. We talk about our favorite shops and restaurants, the causes we s upport, the place we been and seen. We share dreams that only money can make real.
In short, we talk about everything but money itself. In daily life, money is still a major conversational taboo (禁忌).This is a shame, because money is as interesting as the things it does and buys, and the more you know about it, the more interesting it is.
(81) As a financial advisor, I ' ve seen hundreds of people learn to control their money instead of
letting it control them and watched as they increased their freedom, power and security by
handling money consciously. Wouldn ' t you like to know that you ' ll always have enough money to live exactly as you want to?
You' ll never be powerful in life until you ' re powerful overyour own money. Talking openly about it is the first step.

Passage Two
A question often put to the specialist on fishes is " Howlong do fishes live? This puts the specialist in an embarrassing because he is often unable to give a direct answer to this simple question.
But actually this question is not as simple as it seems. There are thousands of different kinds of fishes, and they vary a great deal in size and life span. Moreover, it is not easy to find out just how long a fish lives in its natural state.
We can find out how old a fish is by studying its scales, but we cannot say how much more time it would live if we had not caught it.
We may rear fishes and record their life span but we cannot be sure that this is the length of time they would have lived, had they been left alone.
We may make marking to show how fast the fishes grow so that we can calculate the age of the largest on record , but unless this large fish dies of old age we are still not in a position to know its natural life span .
(82) Unlike human beings , fishes do not stop growing when they reach maturity ( 成熟).They continue to grow as long as they live, although the rate of growth slows down in mature fishes.

C. scales
D. length
49. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. Different kinds of fishes have different life spans.
B. It is hard for the specialist to know the length of time a fish lives in its natural state.
C. Mature fishes grow more quickly than young one.

Passage Three
We find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed-ability teaching. On the contrary, both their knowledge and experience are enriched. We feel that there are many disadvantages in streaming (把----按能力分班)pupils . It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates. It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright child. After all, it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade!
Besides, it is rather unreal to grade pupils just according to their intellectual ability. This is only one aspect of their total personality. (83) We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full, not just their academic ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning.
In our classrooms, we work in various ways .The pupils often work in groups: this gives them the opportunity to learn to co-operate, to share, and to develop leadership skills. (84) They also learn how to cope with personal problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to analyze and evaluate, and to communicate effectively. The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teacher.
Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes they work on individual tasks and assignment, and they can to this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the stills they need in order to do this efficiently. An advanced pupil can do advanced work: it does not matter what age the child is. We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every encouragement to attain this goal.
