Two heads are better than one. It means that two people working together have a better chance of solving a problem than one person alone. But not everyone likes working in a group.

There can be a number of reasons why people dislike group work. Some may feel nervous or uneasy in group situations. Others might have had a bad experience with individuals who did not work well as a team. Another comment is that teachers or instructors fail to provide roles for group members. This may create a situation where everyone or no one wants to lead. Whatever the issue, the result is the same: the group does not realize its goal.

Cooperative (合作的) learning is an educational method that can help to solve this problem. There are many methods of cooperative learning. Today we will talk about one: giving each person in a small group a specific duty to reach a shared goal. For example, if learners are divided into groups of four people each, their roles might be: leader, writer, checker and speaker. This structure helps ensure that everyone takes part equally in group work and allows each member to play a meaningful part in completing the shared goal.

Before dividing learners into groups, it is a good idea for the teacher or club’s instructor to first have knowledge about the language skill levels of participants. The goal is to make each group a mixture of higher- and lower-level language learners. Putting too many people with similar skill levels together could make the work too difficult or easy. Role cards can be a helpful tool in this method of cooperative learning. Their purpose is to remind learners of each person’s role.

Before the cooperative activity, the role of the teacher or activity instructor is to explain two things to the group: the main job for the activity and how the cooperative roles work. The person

B. Destroying.

C. Cleaning.

D.

in charge may appoint these roles or let the English learners choose them. Then, during the activity, the instructor’s job is to watch the groups and provide more guidance when needed. After the activity, the instructor may wish to provide feedback to groups on their work and their use of cooperation.

With this cooperative learning method, you can say that four heads are better than just one. 32. What’s the outcome if people do not enjoy group work? A. The aim of the group can not be achieved. B. Specific roles will be given to group members. C. Group members will feel at ease in groups. D. Group members will fail to work individually.

33. Why does the teacher need to know about those who take part in the activity? A. To find out language learners with similar levels. B. To clarify higher- and lower-level language learners. C. To combine learners with different language levels. D. To increase the difficulty in finishing the work.

34. Which of the following is TRUE about the role of instructors? A. To offer group members timely help at each step. B. To listen to the response from group members. C. To help the English learners choose their favourite roles. D. To make clear about the task and working principles of the roles. 35. Which of the following is the best title of the passage? A. Two Heads Are Better than One. B. Cooperation Is a Must in Learning.

C. Group Work Makes a Great Difference to Learners’ Achievement. D. Cooperative Learning Contributes to the Success of Group Work. 第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）

A good training partner can be a great asset (有用的人) to your training but if you get stuck with a bad one, it could lead you down the road to frustration. Be selective when choosing a

training partner. 36 Dependable. Choose someone who you are sure will show up for every scheduled workout or who will call you if they can’t make it. It is a drain (消耗) on your valuable energy especially before training to have to constantly remind your partner.

Attitude. Get a partner with a positive attitude. This is very important. If they constantly say that something is impossible or that they can’t or you can’t do something, you may end up believing them. 37

Open mind. Get a partner with an open mind. 38 In every partnership, one person will tend to be the leader. The leader should take into account the needs and feelings of the other partner not totally ignoring them.

Spotting. Get someone you feel comfortable with spotting you. One of the main roles of a training partner is spotting and if you don’t trust them, there’s not much point in having them around to help.

39 If you are a beginner, try to find someone who knows what you are doing. You will get more out of your training than if you train with another beginner.

40 In the end, it is really up to you whether or not you need a training partner. A. Training level. B. Similar strength levels.

C. Here are a few things to look out for.

D. Find someone with a similar training goal with you.

E. Do not train with someone who is satisfied with no improvement.

F. While there are a number of advantages of having a training partner, there are also advantages of working alone.

G. Someone who has to do things his or her way all the time, will not listen to you and will not change his or her mind isn’t a good partner. 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）
