2、d tying a belt around its waist. Perhaps that was why my mother sent me to the French sewing class.French sewing was taught by Mademoiselle Lambert on Friday afternoons. She also taught us the French language. So we called the stitches (缝法) by their French names. I didnt have any trouble with that.

3、I was a star in French class.French sewing, however, was another matter. Sewing is a skill that requires the quality I always need: patience. Every Friday I suffered. I had to go to Mademoiselle Lambert and had her correct my mistakes. I watched sadly as, with a slight frown (皱眉), she carefully repa

4、ired my ugly sewing work. This was Mademoiselle Lambert in a different situation. I missed her energetic “Great！” after I successfully translated a passage in French.

6、hat I could sew well enough to complete easy patterns, though I could never sew like my mother.语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者小时候学了一门法语缝纫课程。虽然她在缝纫课上表现得很差，但是她的法语学得很好。相反，有的学生法语学得不好，但缝纫课却学得很好，这让作者明白一个道理：每个人都有自己独特的天赋。1The author was sent to the French sewing class because she seemed to be good at _.Areading booksBse

7、wingCdrawing picturesDspeaking French解析：选B推理判断题。第一段中讲到作者的母亲是一位很有天赋的裁缝。作者小时候喜欢给她的玩偶做衣服，这展露出的是她的缝纫天赋，所以她才被母亲送去上法语缝纫课。2In the French sewing class, the author suffered because _.Ashe could only create ugly sewing worksBMademoiselle Lambert was extremely strictCshe always made mistakes when reading in Fr

8、enchDshe was impatient at remembering the names of stitches解析：选A细节理解题。根据第三段的内容可知，在上缝纫课的时候，作者的缝纫活儿做得总是很差，每次都得去找老师修理她丑陋的作品，这让作者很痛苦。3The underlined part “the word” in the passage refers to “_”Athe French name of a stitchBthe name of a girlCGreatDOK解析：选C词义猜测题。根据倒数第二段可知，作者的法语学得好，经常获得老师的夸赞“Great”。但是，她的缝纫课

9、学得一团糟，每次老师帮她修理完作品后，老师都只勉强说声“OK”。同样，有的学生缝纫活儿做得好，但是法语学得不好，所以她们在法语课上都很期待得到老师的好评“Great”。4What lesson did the author learn from the French sewing class?AIt was a waste of time for impatient people to sew.BTalent and patience are the two great qualities.CPraise makes good students better.DEveryone has dif

10、ferent talents.解析：选D推理判断题。作者通过上缝纫课和法语课的经历懂得一个道理：每个人都有自己独特的天赋。BMany studies have shown that students learn in different ways and that good results can be achieved if they are taught by a teaching method that suits them best. Similarly, students performance varies in what types of test they are given.

11、 Therefore, it may seem reasonable to give students the chance to choose how they wish to be tested. However, this would mean teachers would be forced to prepare many different methods of assessment for the exact same material. Teachers are already very busy, creating tests, grading, coming up with

12、interesting lesson plans, teaching classes, not to mention holding parent teacher conferences, and creating new tests would only add to their burden.Another strain teachers would have to face is how to grade fairly and objectively if students were tested on the same material in a variety of ways. Fo

13、r instance, how do you compare a student who wrote an essay on one small topic of a book to another who answered every multiple choice question correctly over the entire book? Maybe the student who wrote the essay only read a small part of it in depth enough so that they could write the essay. But p

14、erhaps the student taking the multiple choice test only had a base understanding of the book and couldnt write a critical essay about something in it.This is not to say, however, that students should be graded in the same manner every time. This would be equally unfair as again, different students t

15、est better when assessed by different methods. Therefore, teachers need to be sure to give essay tests, multiple choice tests, as well as other multimedia (多媒体) projects to assess their students, just not over the same material. This gives students the opportunity to show off their abilities and mak

16、e up for tasks that theyre not good at. For instance, a student that is a bad test taker could make up for their grade with a wellperformed project. Another option is to provide students with extra credit opportunities. As such, students could be allowed to choose the method in which they wish to co

17、mplete their extra credit. If a student is a strong essay writer, they could write an extra essay to make up for their poor test grade. This would allow students to compensate for poor grades in areas in which they arent as accomplished.语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。不同的学生所擅长的考试方式不尽相同，那么是否应该让学生自己选择考试方式呢？作者对此问题展开讨论。5
