B9.C10.C11.B12.C&nbsp;13.C14.A15.C16.B17.C[/SPOILER]SECTION B: Read the following passage carefully , then choose the best answer to each question&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time: if corrected too much , he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit , he make necessary changes to make his language like people’s. In the same way , children learning to do all the other things , they learn without being taught – to walk , run, climb, whistle , ride the bicycle – compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes for himself , let alone correct them. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notices a mistake unless it was pointed out for him, or correct it unless he was made to. Soon he becomes dependent on the teacher. Let him do it himself. Let him work out , with the help of other children if he want it, what this word says , what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying&nbsp; or doing this or not.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; If it is a matter of right answer, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can’t find the way to get the right answer. Let’s end all this nonsense of grades, exams, marks. Let us throw them all out, and let the children learn what all educated persons must someday learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or don’t know.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Let them get on with this job in the way that seems most sensible to them, with our help as school teachers if they ask for it. The idea that there is a body of knowledge to be learnt at school and used for the rest of one’s life is nonsense in a world as complicated and rapidly changing as ours. Anxious parents and teachers say, “but suppose they fail learn something essential, something they will need to get on in the world?”. Don’t worry. If it is essential, they will go out into the world and learn it.21.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; What does author think is the best way for children to learn things?a.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; By copy what other people dob.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; By making mistakes and having them correctedc.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; By listening to explanations from skilled peopled.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; By asking a great many questions22.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; What does the author think teachers do which they should not do?a.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; They give children correct answerb.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; They point out the children’s mistakes to themc.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; They allowed their children to marks their own workd.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; They courage children to copy form one another23.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; The passage suggests that learning to speak and learning to ride a bicycle area.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Not really important skillsb.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; More important than other skillsc.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Basically different from learning adult skillsd.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Basically the same as learning other skills24.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Exams, grades, and marks should be abolished because children’s progress should only be estimated bya.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Educated personsb.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; The children themselvesc.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Teachersd.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Parents25.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; The author fears that children will grow up into adults who are a.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Too independent of othersb.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Too critical of themselvesc.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Unable to think for themselves d.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Unable to use basic skills&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; [SPOILER]&nbsp; &nbsp; 21.A&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 22.B&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 23.D&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 24.B&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 25.C[/SPOILER][SPOILER][/SPOILER]&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; PAPER 2: WRITING&nbsp; &nbsp; SECTION A: Use of EnglishA.&nbsp; &nbsp; Fill each of the numbered blanks in the following passage.
