17、 　　 (河南省郑州市盛同学校高一第一次月考)　　 China will fine the crew(全体工作人员) of the country's most expensive movie, "The Promise(《无极》)" by Oscar-nominated(提名) director Chen Kaige, for damaging the environment in an area of outstanding natural beauty, state media said on Wednesday.

The producers ignored to carry out an environmental effect report and did not apply for permission to build roads and buildings around Bigu Lake in the southwestern province of Yunnan, the Beijing Youth Daily and other newspapers reported.

Though most of the garbage at the site has now been cleaned up and some buildings are pulled down, about 100 concrete pilings(混凝土桩) are still standing, the newspaper said.

It will also take some time for marshland(沼泽) areas around the lake to recover, it added. The paper did not say how much fine will be imposed(强加惩罚于某人) on the film's crew.

"China's current environmental protection laws are not yet perfected, and there is a lack of standards or guidelines for fines for damaging the environment," the newspaper quoted a government environmental watchdog official as saying.

Producer and director Chen Kaige's wife, Chen Hong, has refused the charges, saying the crew had left "enough money" for the local government to deal with the consequences.

The film, part love story, part kung fu epic(史诗), opened in Chinese theatres last December and was nominated for a Golden Globe(金球奖).

Chen first impressed the world stage with his 1993 hit "Farewell My Concubine(《霸王别姬》)." "The Promise" is the most expensive film in Chinese history, with a budget of US$35 million, and was China's official entry in the best foreign film category at the Academy Awards in March.

16、 (河南省郑州市盛同学校高一第一次月考)　 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 children. After all, it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade!

　　 Besides, it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual ability. This is only one aspect of their total personality. 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 cooperate to share, and they develop leadership skills. They also learn how to deal 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 assignments, and they can do this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this is proper. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the skills 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 achieve this goal.
