题目列表(包括答案和解析)
At the moment when looking round the world, all kinds of dance performances are being offered. There are competitions that claim to be a World Cup or World Championship, and the young dancer or the dance teacher who wants to enter his students might be quite confused. Which is which? Which is of high standard and good quality, and which is not worth going to? First of all it has clearly got to be distinguished between the different styles of dance and the purpose of such competitions. When a person wants to learn classical ballet, he or she would never dream of going to a ballroom teacher. Such a teacher might even have been world champion in his ballroom dancing, but he would definitely not be qualified in teaching proper classical ballet.
People in Britain and the USA are taking more interest in modern dance. Dance classes of all kinds are popular; the audiences going to watch modern dance companies are also larger. And perhaps the most popular modern dance company in Britain is the Ballet Rambert.
The Ballet Rambert is Britains’ oldest established dance company which began in 1926. In the 60 s the company lacked the money to go on staging big productions. The directors wanted to encourage new talent and to keep up their high standards. A chan
ge of direction was necessary. They decided to give the ballet a ‘new look” in 1966. The aim was to provide a chance for new talent – for musicians and designers as well as dancers – and to show dance as a contemporary art form. And although some of the company’s previous fans dislike the change, new audiences came to see the productions.
The modern dance pieces and modern music found unexpected popularity. In the 21 st century the Ballet Rambert was a great success in L
ondon’s West End. The company becam
e a focus for new, progressive talent in the art.
Then, the Ballet Ramvert started to introduce young people to modern dance by giving performances at schools, which again, was a success.
The Ballet Rambert has managed to make modern dance popular while creating original and often avant – garde (标新立异) productions. It can claim to be the oldest dance company in Britain and at the same time one of the most modern!

阅读下面的文章，按要求完成1～5小题。
Recently, many states of America have approved a program that will link increases in teacher’s pay to improvements in students’ test scores．The program will take effect next school year．It will increase a teacher’s pay if his or her students increase their scores on the Comprehensive Assessment Test, which measures reading and mathematics knowledge．It is now used to decide if students will pass to the next grade level．The state gives extra money to schools whose scores are good or have increased than the year before．Normally, the money is divided among the school workers．
Those teachers who teach reading and mathematics will be judged on the test scores only．That is, how much their students have improved since the year before．But those who teach other subjects like geography, art and music will have to be judged differently．
Teacher groups around the country generally oppose such a program．They say it is not fair to judge teachers by how well students score on a test．They say many things affect a student’s test scores, such as learning problems or lack of sleep．They point out that there are other ways to judge strengths and weaknesses of students．In addition, some teachers say the quality of teaching will decrease if teachers are forced to compete with each other for money and praise．They fear that teachers will refuse to work in schools where many children have learning problems or do not speak English well．
However, those who ________ say teachers must be judged by the way that other professionals are－by the results of their work．Using students’ test scores is a true measure of a teacher’s performance．
