PETS5模拟考试真题-4Part A1.I’ve never believed that the only way to get an education is to sit at a desk with four walls around you. The world is our classroom and our home,a 41-foot sailing boat, takes us there.2.my husband and I dreamed of sailing around the world before our daughters were even born.3.as Cathy zoomed through the entire year’s course in a matter of two months, we realize that a prepackaged school was not what she ne eded. Cathy’s gifted mind needed to be challenged, excited, sent into orbit. We devised our own curriculum for the rest of the year.4.we also have limited room for school books and so those we have must be chosen carefully. Perhaps the thing we miss the most when traveling is not always having access to a library.We hope to upgrade our notebook computer to one with CD-ROM soon. Imagine having resources like encyclopedias and atlases all in a small enough format to fit on the boat.5.choosing courses of study for Cathy was great fun. We looked at where we would be sailing to during the school year, or where we would be stopping to work, and all sorts of topics of interest presented themselves, for example, while cruising down the East Coast to Florida, we chose space exploration for a unit of study. Our studies included both fictional and non-fictional reading, experiments and writing assignment. The final was watching a shuttle launch and visiting the Kennedy Space Center museums.6.to learn about the world around us---we do miss on a fewthings thatmost home-schooled children are able to take advantage of and which would perhaps make our academic life easier.7.the wonderful opportunities to learn about the world around us.8./9 all sorts of topics of interest presented themselves. choosing courses of study was great fun---Florida—not unsystematic.9.I’ve never believed that the only way to get an education is to sit at a desk with four walls around you--- the advantages of our floating school.Part BPassage 1Eccentric a. 古怪的；反常的eccentricity1.D r. David weeks, he has done several major studies into eccentricity andthinks that around one in 10,000 people are eccentric.2.t hey share some common traits. One link is that they are very happy people and their curiosity is the major aspect of that happiness3.t hey get very obsessed with subjects and topics they are interested in---Dr. Weeks claims that “eccentric” people have produced some of history’s major ideas. From time to time, they may seem to be sbsurd or even silly, but they have some very important ideas, like discovering a major antibiotic. He believes that there is a link between eccentricity and genius.A high proportion of geniuses behave in an unusual way and so appear eccentric to others, geniuses and eccentrics are linked in other ways. They share a high IQ.---he says that, over a lifetime, they have morerelationships than the average person. But they are always very friendly with their previous partners.---and are great eccentrics a dying breed? Dr. Weeks believes that eccentricity may increase as people all over the world have more leisure time. He says that in societies where there is more money and free time and where people have more power to do what they want, the number of eccentrics increases.Passage 22. Anna, at home, her generation, kids her age3. D：well, it’s true that computers are much, much more convenient. But it’s hard for me to learn programs on computers.---I know what you mean. You know, I have been thinking that maybe we should take an evening class.What do you think?----wom I’m really glad to hear you say that because I’v thought a lot about taking a class.(at home after the first computer class) Look at you. You’re really working hard at that computer!---nothing could tear me away. If it weren’t for our class, I’d be in a bind right now trying to figure out what to do. But I am doing OK. The class really help.Passage 31.I’d like to ask you some question about the new official standard weight that you purchased.—how is the standard weight used?—well, the people in our department use it to check the scales all over the country. As the department of weights and measures, we are a government agency. It’s our responsibility to see that all the scales measure a kilogram accurately so this is the way we use toadjust the scales.2.w e have an old standard weight that we used to use. It had to be replaced because it was imprecise. You see it was made ofpoor quality metal that was too porous. It absorbed too much moisture.3.45,000 dollars? For one kilogram weight? That’s more expensive than gold. Is it really worth that much?4.I’m sure it is. Industries depend on our government agency to monitor the accuracy of scales so that when they buy and sell their products there is one standard. Think of the drug industry, for example, those companies rely on high accuracy scales to manufacture and package medicine.Part C1.b oth hands2.M exico3.s incerity and respect4.t he UK5.l ook away6.f irst name7.I taly, the US and Brazil8.R ussia, Germany and France9.b usiness associates10.culture differences11.Bob: when I first went to Italy I thought it was OK to use everyone’s first name so as to seem friendly. And I later find that in business you shouldn’t use some one’s first name unless you are invited to, oh, and you should always use their title as well.12.I found out that you have to treat business card with respect. What you’ve got to do is hold them with both hands and then read them very carefully.13.In China I was trying to make ajoke when I pretended to criticize my business associate forbeing late for a meeting.---in Mexico I have to admit I found it a bit strange when business associates there touched me on the arm and shoulder. Well, I tried to move away and of course, they thought I was being very ,very unfriendly. Apparently, it’s quite usual there for men to touch each other in, you know, in a friendly way.14.the first time I went to Korea I thought it was polite not to look some one in the eye to much. The Koreans I met seemed to be staring at me when I spoke, which seemed, you know, a bit odd at first. In Korea, eye contact conveys sincerity and it shows you’re paying attention to the speaker.---oh it seems strange because you British don’t look at each other somuch when you’re talking to each other.I mean, you look away, you know, most of the time.。

听力材料：Questions 1 ~ 10 :Hello, everyone. Today I will introduce you the learning chains in Britain. Here the chains refer to schools linked together as part of a group. They can offer students many practical advantages.When people are asked to name a language school, more often than not, they think of one of the large international chains of schools. Some are vast language teaching organizations with schools in many different countries and may teach just one language.One of the main strengths of these chains is the fact that their name isfamiliar to people all over the world. This can be a big advantage in the con-fusing world of language learning. Most students are bewildered by the large choice of schools and courses on offer, both at home and abroad, and so many prefer to choose a school which has a familiar name and an established reputation. Chain schools know this, and part of their success is due to effective marketing and advertising, which helps to keep their name well-known.But chain schools should not be dismissed by serious students just be-cause they use clever marketing techniques. They have other important strengthens which can provide advantages to students. A school is only as good as its teachers and facilities, and many chains offer very high standards in both. More chains require that their teachers have internationally recognized qualifications and a maximum amount of teaching experience. It is important for chains to maintain these standards at all schools, because the reputation of the whole chain can be affected if one school performs badly.Students also benefit from the standardized structure of chains. Most chains use the same text books in all their schools, and often they produce their own coursework materials. They also organize their courses in the same way which means that starting dates and course lengths are usually the same at all schools.For students, one of the main advantages of this standardized structure is simplicity. If you cannot decide whether to study in the U. S. or Britain, for example, most chains allow students to start their language course at one school and continue at another, so they can experience different regions or different countries, as part of the same study trip.Chain schools tend to be larger than single center schools, which can al-so have advantages for students. With larger numbers of students, school administrators can achieve a better mixture of nationalities in classrooms. This means that students can avoid being with other students who speak their language. This gives them the chance to meet students from other countries, and to practice their English with them.Some chains offer students a very simple booking and enrolment procedure which is also useful. Application forms and enrolment procedures are the same for all schools, so students need only supply their details once. Students may find that they can book their course abroad through a representative of a chain school in their own town or city. Other chains offer a centralized booking facility, so students only have to contact one center to make a booking anywhere in the world.Chain schools often operate in different locations, whereas a single school is likely to be based permanently in one building. Many chain schools operate temporary schools, particularly during the summer holidays. In Britain, they often use secondary school premises which are empty during the school holidays.Studying English in an English-speaking country is the most effective way to learn thelanguage, but for many students this is only one stage of their learning career. Most students start learning English in their own country and they will probably want to continue learning once they return from their study trip. An international chain can usually offer you a continuous learning program from one country to the next.Language school chains can offer students high standards of teachingbased on widespread experience. For students it can be a useful way of making learning more flexible.Questions 11 - 13 :M: Now, I' d like to say that I think that this government proposing to build more nuclear power stations in this country is really being stupid. The point about nuclear power is that we haven' t learnt to do away with the waste. We haven' t learnt to cope with the waste from it yet.W: Well, I sometimes think that, you know, they' ve got an impossible job. I mean all the impression I get is that there is no alternative.., well, that' s the impression I get.M: No, no, no I... I don' t agree with that at all. There are plenty of alter-natives. There' s the sun.., solar power.., that is a source that is always there, we always have it.W: I don' t... I don' t quite see what you' re getting at actually, solar power,what' s that?M: Well, the heat from the sun, it can be used in solar panels on the tops of houses for heating, storing up power to heat water and to heat the houses, you know, some solar panels are in operation already and they are saving money...W: That' s a good point actually, but is it really viable, that, I mean becauseI'd...M:Sorry it must be! And the one great advantage is that I can see, if the government set up small units to build solar panels and to install them, it would be creating employment which would improve the unemployment situation and bring terrific advantages.W: I have heard that in England, I mean, there' s not enough sun, is there?For, I mean, solar panels here?M:Yes, well, that' s not quite true. I... there is quite a bit of sun.., youmay not feel the actual heat of it on some occasions.W: No, you are right there !M:But the light power from the sun will...Questions 14 ~ 16 :M : Cigarette?W :No, thank you. I' ve given up, you know.M:Oh.W : It' s ten days ago. Haven' t had one.M : Well, you don' t mind if I had one.W: Well, all right, then... Oh my goodness ! That' s a terrible cough.M: No, no, it' s not. It' s only... I only get it first thing in the morning.W: That' s going to make you very unfit, you know.M : No, it' s all right. It goes in a minute.W:Why don't you try and give up?M : Oh, no. I ought to, but I can' t. It relaxes me, smoking.W: Really?M : It does.W:Well, have you ever thought of just cutting down?M : Oh, no, that' s all very well but... I wouldn' t enjoy it. I depend a biton my smoking. I must say.W:You should do it gradually. I mean.., well, if you tried.., have youthought of just giving up one day?M:Yes, oh well, yes, that is quite a good idea.W:It is.M : But I think I' d lose count or something.W: Oh dear ! Well, it might be an idea if you started eating sweets.M : Oh no, I couldn' t do that. I couldn' t possibly...W:Why?M:Well, it makes you fat.W:Well, do you think that matters? Don' t you think it is better to be fatthan to be unhealthy?M : No, I don' t. I' d rather be fat... Well, I' d rather be thin than fat, certainly.W : Oh dear. Well. Hey ! I' ve got a good idea !M:What' s that?W:Why don't you go to a hypnotist? My sister did!M : Oh, look, you don' t seem to realize that I like smoking. If I gave it up,if I didn' t smoke at all, I' d probably end up attacking people !W : Oh, don' t be so silly ! Of course you wouldn' t !Questions 17 ~ 20 :Farmers usually use plows to prepare their fields for planting crops. Plows cut into the ground, and lift up weeds, and other unwanted plants. However, plowing is blamed for causing severe damage to top soil by removing the plants that protect soil from being blown or washed away. Many farmers in South Asia are now trying a process called Low Till Fanning. Low Till Farming limits the use of plows. In this method of farming, seeds and fertilizer are put into the soil through small cuts made in the surface of the ground. Low Till Agriculture leaves much or all the soil and remains of plants on the ground. They serve as a natural fertilizer and help support the roots of future crops. They take in rain and allow it to flow into the soil in-stead of running off. It has been proved that Low Till Fanning increases har-vests and reduces water use, and this method reduces the need for chemical products because there are fewer unwanted plants. Scientists say Low Till Farming is becoming popular in South Asia, which is facing a severe water shortage. They say the area will become dependent on imported food unless water is saved through methods like Low Till Farming. Currently, more than150 million people in South Asia depend on local rice and wheat crops. Farmers grow rice during wet weather. During the dry season they grow wheat in the same fields. Farmers are using the Low Till Farming method to plant wheat after harvesting rice. Scientists say Low Till Agriculture is one of the best examples in the w0fld of technologies working for both people and the environment.Questions 21 ~ 30 :Today we take it for granted that the mail will be delivered daily at our door. But many years ago it might have been placed in a tree trunk or underneath a rock. In the early days of the mail no one could be sure about where or when it would arrive.At the southern tip of Africa there was once a post office under a rock. In the old days the route from England to India was around the Cape of Good Hope. The journey was stormy and dangerous. It took six long months. Sailors often wished to send mail home, but they seldom met ships bound back to England. So at the cape the sailors would go .ashore. They headed for a certain large stone. On the stone were scratched the words "Look here-under for letters. " They would leave their letters there, knowing that thenext homeward-bound ship would stop and pick them up.There was another post office like this at the southern tip of South America. During the gold rush days, boats sailed around Cape Horn to California. At Cape Horn was a keg nailed to a post. Boats coming from the east coast would send a small boat ashore to this post office. They picked up any letters in the keg. At the same time they mailed letters home that boats sailing east could pick up.In the state of Washington stands the stump of a huge cedar. It, too, was once a post office. Settlers needed a place for the mail carders to leave their letters. Their houses were so widely scattered that the mail carrier could not reach all of them, and the post office was far away over rough roads. So the settlers found a tree that stood where several trails crossed. They cut the tree down ten feet from the ground, hollowed it out, and covered it with a roof. Inside, they nailed a row of wooden boxes. Each box was marked with a family' s name. The mail carder could leave letters there for everyone for miles around.For the first few years after the English colonists came to America, there was no regular postal service. People gave their letters to any traveler who happened to be going in the right direction. Often they gave them to a peddler or a traveling shoemaker. When the traveler reached the town where the letter was going, he might stop at an inn. He would leave the letters there. But there they stayed until the .person they were addressed to happened to come by and stopped at the inn.What about places like Virginia where there were very few inns? People who wished to send letters would leave them at one of the large plantations. The owners of the plantation would then send the letters on to a neighbor. The neighbor would do the same. It was a slow mall system.After many years, regular mail carriers on horseback were hired. They went from one big town to another. Between New York and Boston, for ex-ample, there was one "postrider" a month. He traveled only by day and took two weeks for the trip. often the postrider left all the mail for a whole town at a crossroads store. It still took many weeks for a letter to reach the person it was addressed to.Finally, about two hundred years ago, Benjamin Franklin was made postmaster for all the colonies. His first act was to make a long journey to find out the best routes for carrying the mail. Then he set up a line of post station between the northern and southern colonies. He ordered his postriders to travel by night as well as by day.Franklin' s postriders could carry more letters in a shorter time from one colony to another. The letter service helped the young American colonies learn more about each other. They learned that they were all interested in the same things. This gave them the feeling of unity that later helped them win their independence.In time, the nation set up its own government. But there were still only seventy five post offices in the whole country. Between cities along the coast, mail was sent in sailing boats. But most letters were carried from one post office to another in stagecoaches. Trips were three times aweek in summer and twice a week in winter. The stage stopped in all towns. Large and small. It stopped fifteen minutes in a small town and two hours in a larger one. But still the people of the town might reach the post office too late tocatch the stagecoach. Sometimes, too, the drivers forgot the mall or evenlost it. It still took a week for news to go from Washington D. C. to New York.Today an airmail letter can travel across the world in much less time than that, let alone the e-mail through computers. A modern post office handles more mall in a day than the colonial carders handled in a whole year. You know that the letter you send will go anywhere you want it to go, and whenever.。

The winner of this year iS Mr．Roy Miller. a Sheffield postman. A journalist and a photographer have come to his house. The journalist is interviewing Mr. Miller for an article in the magazine. W：Well, I’m very impressed by all the work you’ve done on your house, Mr. Miller. How long have you been working on it? M：I first became interested in Do-it-Yourself several years ago. You see, my son Paul is disabled. He’s in a wheel-chair and I just had to make alterations to the house. I couldn’t afford to pay workmen to do it. I had to learn to do it myself. W：Had you had any experience in this kind of work?Did you have any practical skills? M：No. 1 got a few books from the library but they didn’t help very much. So I decided to go to evening classes so that I could learn basic carpentry and electrical wiring. W：What sort of changes did you make to the house? M：First of all, practical things to help Paul. You never really realize the problems handicapped people have until it attacks your own family. Most government buildings, for example, have steps up to the door. They don’t plan buildings so that disabled people can get in and out. We used to live in a flat, and of course, it was totally unsuitable. Just imagine the problems a disabled person would have in your house. We needed a larger house with wide corridors so that Paul could get from one room to another. We didn’t have much money and we had to buy this one. It’s over ninety years old and it was in a very bad state of repair. W：Where did you begin? M：The electrical. I completely rewired the house so that Paul could reach all the switches. I had to lower the light switches and raise the power-points. I went on to do the whole house so that Paul could reach things and go where he needed. W：What else did you do? M：By the time I’d altered everything for Paul, do-it-yourself had become a hobby. I really enjoyed doing things with my hands. Look, I even installed smoke-alarms. W：What was the purpose of that? M：I was very worried about fire. You see, Paul can’t move very fast.I fitted them so that we would have plenty of warning if there were a fire. I put in a complete burglar-alarm system. It took weeks．The front door opens automatically. and I’m going to put a device on Paul’s wheelchair so that he’ll be able to open and close it when he wants. W：What are you working on now? M：I’ve just finished the kitchen. I’ve designed it so that he can reach everything. Now I’m building an extension so that Paul will have a large room on the ground floor where he can work. W：There’s a $10,000 prize. How are you going to spend it? M：I am going to start my own business so that I can convert ordinary houses for disabled people. I think I’ve become an expert on the subject.1．Though Paul is disabled, he managed to move around in the house.A．RightB．Wrong正确答案：B2．Mr Miller enjoys doing things with his own hands.A．RightB．Wrong正确答案：A3．The front door to his home does not open automatically.A．RightB．Wrong正确答案：B4．Mr Miller bought his house simply because the flat he used to live in was too expensive.A．RightB．Wrong正确答案：B5．Government buildings often have special paths for those people handicapped.A．RightB．Wrong正确答案：B6．Paul could reach all the switches because they Were originally installed at the right height of him.A．RightB．Wrong正确答案：B7．Do-it-Yourself has become one of Mr Miller’s hobbies.A．RightB．Wrong正确答案：A8．Mr Miller had known a lot about carpentry and electric wiring before he was engaged in do-it-yourself.A．RightB．Wrong正确答案：B9．Mr Miller did changes on the house only for fun.A．RightB．Wrong正确答案：B10．Mr Miller will buy a new house with the money he has won.A．RightB．Wrong正确答案：BPart BDirections: You will hear 3 conversations or talks and you must answer the questions by choosing A, B, C or D.

This morning has been a real mess．I didn’t think I was going to make it here at all．W：Why are you late? Our presentation depends on those graphs you are holding．M：Yes，I know．I’ll tell you about it later．First，let’s see how we are doing for time．Two groups are still ahead of us，aren’t they? The presentations on the fights of the consumer and the analysis of the stock market．That means I’ve got twenty minutes to sort out．W：You look cold．What happened?M：I’ve been standing outside in arctic temperatures for over an hour waiting for a bus．W：Over an hour? But I thought your apartment was only a ten minute bus ride to campus．M：In normal conditions，but the bus was delayed because of the weather，and when I stopped in a drug store to call home for a ride，the bus went by．As luck would have it there was no one at home，so I had to wait another forty-five minutes for the next bus．W：That’sMurphy’s Law，isn’t it? What did it say? If anything can go wrong，it will．Well，we’ve still got twenty minutes to get our wits together．11．What is the woman’s tone of voice when she first sees the man?A．Frustrated.B．Relieved.C．Sarcastic.D．Apologetic.正确答案：B12．What are the students doing when the man arrives in class?A．Taking an examination.B．Drawing graphs.C．Giving presentations.D．Having a class of discussion.正确答案：C13．How much time do the man and the woman have before they address the class?A．Less than ten minutes.B．About twenty minutes.C．Forty-five minutes.D．Over an hour.正确答案：B听力原文：During the Christmas shopping rush in London，the intriguing story was reported of a tramp who，apparently through no fault of his own，found himself locked in a well-known chain store late on Christmas Eve．No doubt the store was filled with last-minute Christmas shoppers and the staff were dead beating and longing to get home．Presumably all the proper security checks were made before the store was locked and they left to enjoy the three-day holiday untroubled by customers desperate to get last-minute Christmas presents．However that may be，our tramp found himself alone in the store and decided to make the best of it．There was food，drink，bedding and camping equipment，of which he made good use．There must also have been television sets and radios．Though it was not reported if he took advantage of these facilities，when the shop re-opened．he was discovered in bed with a large number of empty bottles beside him．He seems to have been a man of good humour and philosophic temperament—as indeed vagrants very commonly are．Everyone else was enjoying Christmas，so he saw no good reason why he should not do the same．He submitted，cheerfully enough，to being taken away by the police．Perhaps he had a better Christmas than usual．He was put into prison for seven days．The judge awarded no compensation to the chain store for the food and drink our tramp hadconsumed．They had，in his opinion，already received valuable free publicity from the coverage the story received in the newspapers and on television．Perhaps the judge had a good Christmas too．14．The tramp was locked in the store ______.A．for his own mistakesB．due to a misunderstandingC．by accidentD．through an error of judgment正确答案：C15．What action did the tramp take? He ______.A．looted the storeB．made himself at homeC．went to sleep for 2 daysD．had a Christmas party正确答案：B16．When the tramp was arrested, he______.A．laughed at the policeB．looked forward to going to prisonC．took his bottles with himD．didn’t make any fuss正确答案：D听力原文：Normally a student must participate in a certain number of courses in order to graduate，and each course which he attends gives him a credit which he may count towards a degree．In many American universities the total work for a degree is made up of thirty-six courses each lasting for one semester．A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks；while attending a university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester．Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two semesters each year．It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period．It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course，though this is not in fact done as a regular practice．For every course that he follows a student is given a grade．which is recorded，and the record is available for the student to show to prospective employers．All this imposes a constant pressure and strain of work，but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs．Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm．The effective work of maintaining discipline is usually performed by students who advise the academic authorities．Any student who isthought to have broken the rules，for example，by cheating has to appear before a student court．With the enormous numbers of students，the operation of the system does include a certain amount of activity．A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career．17．What’s the main objective of a student who attends a certain number of courses?A．To graduate and obtain a degree.B．To learn something he is interested in.C．To avoid working.D．To obey his parents’ order.正确答案：A18．Why are American students usually under pressure of work?A．Because their academic performance will affect their future career in the future.B．Because they are heavily involved in student affairs.C．Because they have to observe the university discipline.D．Because they want to run for positions of authority.正确答案：A19．Why are students enthusiastic for positions in student organizations?A．Because they hate the constant pressure and strain of their study.B．Because they will then be able to stay longer in the university.C．Because such positions help them hunt better jobs.D．Because such positions are usually well paid.正确答案：C20．In which respect does the students’ organizations seem to be effective?A．Dealing with academic affairs of the university.B．Ensuring that the students observe university regulations.C．Evaluating students’ performance in their study.D．Keeping up the students’ enthusiasm for social activities.正确答案：BPart CDirections: You will hear a talk.

The whole universe seems to follow some very basic principles as it evolves in with time，some of these principles including the Conservation of Energy and the Conservation of Angular Momentum．The conservation laws of physics are like non-interest bearing checking accounts．In the case of energy conservation，you can make energy deposits and energy withdrawals，but all the energy is accounted for．The rotation of objects is governed by a law called the Conservation ofAngular Momentum，which applies to everything in the universe including the rotation of stars，the rotation of the planets and their orbits，the behavior of an electron in an atom，the spin of a figure skater，and the rotation of Wheels on a truck．What it all comes down to in the end is that everything in the universe fits together like the pieces of a perfect puzzle．As Einstein said．“The most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it is comprehensible．”21．When did Dr. Huber get his own telescope?正确答案：Eight years old．22．Where was the interview conducted?正确答案：In his Office．23．What were the two things that interested Dr. Huber?正确答案：Physics and music．24．When did Dr. Huber become interested in piano?正确答案：In college．25．What’s the common misconception about art and science?正确答案：Completely separate/exclusive．26．What do the study of science and the study of art require?正确答案：Creative thinking．27．Who do not probably notice the beauty of theoretical physics?正确答案：The general public．28．What job did Dr. Huber compare physics to?正确答案：Detective29．What does Dr. Huber think accomplish the same objective?正确答案：Art and science30．What does Dr. Huber compare the universe to?正确答案：A puzzleSection II Use of English (15 minutes) Directions: Read the following text and fill each of the numbered spaces with ONE suitable word. Write your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Children who grip their pens too close to the writing point are likely to be at a disadvantage in examinations,【C1】______to the first serious investigation into the way in which writing technique can dramatically affect educational achievement. The survey of 643 children and adults, ranking from pre-school to 40-plus, also suggests【C2】______penholding techniques have deteriorated sharply over one generation, with teachers now paying far【C3】______attention to correct pen grip and handwriting style. Stephanie Thomas, a learning support teacher【C4】______findings have been published, was inspired to investigate this area【C5】______he noticed that those students who had the most trouble with spelling【C6】______had a poor pen grip. While Mr. Thomas could not establish a significant statistical link【C7】______pen-holding style and accuracy in spelling,he【C8】______find huge differences in technique between the young children and the mature adults, and a definite【C9】______between near-point gripping and slow, illegible writing. People who【C10】______their pens at the writing point also show other characteristics【C11】______inhibit learning,【C12】______as poor posture,leaning too【C13】______to the desk,using four fingers to grip the pen【C14】______than three, and clumsy positioning of the thumb(which can obscure【C15】______is being written ). Mr. Thomas believes that the【C16】______between elder and younger writers is【C17】______too dramatic to be accounted for simply by the possibility that people get better at writing as they grow【C18】______. He attributes it to a failure to teach the most effective methods, pointing out that the differences between【C19】______groups coincides with the abandonment of formal handwriting instruction in classrooms in the sixties. “The 30-year-old showed a huge diversity of grips,【C20】______the over 40s group all had a uniform ‘tripod’ grip. “31．【C1】正确答案：according解析：according to意为“根据”，为固定短语，本句句意为“根据对…的严格调查，…。
