阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

Generations of children who sat through endless lessons of "chalk and talk" in front of a bossy teacher could take some relief. But the "chalk and talk" method helped them achieve better exam results. Modern classroom techniques may make school days a great deal happier, but contentment(满意) is not the road to success in examinations, according to university researchers.

Their three-year study, monitoring the progress of 2,000 teenagers, tried to measure the influence of the "boredom factor" in 17 selected schools in the north of England. The researchers also found that the old-fashioned approach of teachers ordering pupils about is still alive and producing results. Their conclusions were welcomed yesterday by educationists who were worried by the shift to less formal lessons.

The pupils in the latest study were asked to award teachers marks to measure how frequently they followed or ignored today's fashion for "child-centred" education. A five-point scale was given to spot the teachers who always told them what they should know and what to write down. "It was significant and not something you would get by chance or accident. Certainly, when you compare the pupil's interest and attitude to school, there is a quite definite and highly significant difference," one of the researchers said. But the rankings were turned upside down when the team of four researchers looked at how the children did in examinations. The sort of methods now frowned upon (不认同) actually improve the final grades.

The researchers said, "There is nothing wrong with old-fashioned, didactic(说教式的) teaching in the right place, even if it isn't the flavor at the moment." However, he insisted the best teachers had always mixed the two techniques to match the needs of pupils, although certain examinations forced some to concentrate more on dictation and learning by rote(死记硬背).

71. We can infer from Paragraph 3 that ______.

A. child-centred education promotes friendship among children

B. the research findings are not significant enough for a conclusion

C. those who show greater interest in school did better in exams

D. those who don't show much interest in school may turn out to score higher in tests

72. The researchers suggest that ______.

A. more old methods be used in teaching

B. students be taught how to score high in exams

C. dictation be used as one of the best teaching methods

D. old and new methods be used together

73. The best title for this text would be ______.

A. The Examination-based Teaching            B. Rote Learning Was the Winner

C. The Problem of Child-centred Education D. The Problem of the Traditional Method

32. His composition won first prize, ______ made him too happy to sleep for nights.

A. what                 B. that                   C. which               D. Where

12. Bungee is an adventurous sport, popular with young adults, ______ courage matters more than strength.

A. where               B. that                   C. of which           D. whose

Piercings（穿洞）have moved up on the trend list in recent Tattoos（纹身）and body years. Around Western schools lots of teens are sporting new holes and flesh ink. Like all other subjects, we’ll surely be faced with such situation. To get a better view of what has happened in the West, let’s sit down and hear what they say.

Kerstin Otto from Washington:

The hotter it gets and the more layers of clothing disappear, the more tattoos and piercings appear on various places of the human body, I wouldn’t be caught dead with a snake tattooed on my ankle or with a piece of metal stuck in my belly button.

Tiara from Indiana:

I personally think body piercing is sickening. If there were supposed to be holes in your body, you would have been born with them. I do, however, think that ear piercing, is not wrong.  There is a difference between ear piercing and belly button piercing. Ear piercing is not nearly as dangerous. I would be sick if someone stuck a needle in my belly button.

Lee from Illinois:

Hi! I live in Illinois. I am 23. I have 12 tattoos and three piercings. I love my tattoos

and consider myself an art collector. You would be surprised at who has given me the thumbs-up on my art work. People on the street stop me to look at that on my leg. Most of them don’t know what it is. They just think the work itself is great.

Nagib from Washington:

I wanted an earring. My friends had them and it looked like a cool thing. I wanted to get a nose ring, but my mum wouldn’t let me. Now I’m glad I didn’t get it. I just wanted a little stud, but I wouldn’t have looked good with it.

Jackson from Ohio:

I don’t think it’s wrong, but when people do it all over the place like their face and everything —I think that’s ridiculous. People who get the big dragons that cover your whole body—I don’t think that’s necessary. When I see naked chicks on guys, I think. “You have no respect for women.”

Brittney from New York:

You don’t want to do stuff to your body. You don t need to do that because you were made perfect. You don’t need to add piercings. If it will make you feel beautiful and you really feel like you need to do it for yourself, then okay. If it really makes a big difference impacting your self-esteem and how you are towards others, then do it. But otherwise, don’t mess with what you got. Maybe you should try something more substantial（充实的）to find beauty in yourself.

60. Who is wholeheartedly lost in tattoos and piercing?

A. Tiara            B. Kerstin            C. Nagib.            D. Lee.

61. Who doesn’t think tattoos and piercing are beautiful?

A. Jackson.           B. Brittney.            C. Tiara.            D. Nagib.

62. We can conclude that ________.

A. tattoos and piercing are a new kind of elegant art

B. all the teachers in the West are in favor of tattoos and piercing

C. everything is changeable with time going on

D. it is necessary to live with all different views of beauty

63. The best title for this passage is probably _________.

A. Body Art or Damage                    B. Damage to the Youth’s Body

C. Young People’s Different Curiosities       D. A Great Anxiety About Young People
