It is

36、 rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual ability. This is only one aspect of their total_41_. We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full, not just their_42_ ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed abi

37、lity teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning.In our classrooms, we work in_43_ ways.

38、hink, to make decisions, to analyze and evaluate, and to _46_ effectively.

39、 _48_. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this efficiently.

40、sage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and write down the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.Sex and con

41、nections: these are not the criteria on which science should be judged, least of all by scientists. But in the first extensive analysis of the way that fellowships in science are awarded, which is published this week in Nature, Christine Wenneras and Agnes Wold, microbiologists at Gothenburg Univers

42、ity, in Sweden, found that these factors matter as much as, if not more than, scientific merit.Peer review, the evaluation (often anonymous) of a piece of scientific work by other scientists in the same field, is central to the way in which science proceeds. Journals use it to help decide whether to

43、 publish papers and funding agencies use it when deciding to whom to award grants. Dr. Wenneras and Dr. Wold analyzed the reviews of the 114 applications that the Swedish Medical Research Council received for the 20 postdoctoral fellowships it offered in 1995. Of the applicants, 46% were women. Of t

44、he successful recipients of the awards, only 20% were women. In principle, of course, that might reflect their abilities. In practice, other factors seem to be at work.When the council gets a grant application, it is evaluated by five reviewers, on three measures: scientific competence, the proposed

45、 methodology and the relevance of the research. Each measure is given a score of between zero and four; each reviewers scores are multiplied together, giving a single score between zero and 64; and finally, the scores from the reviewers are averaged together, giving the total score.Dr. Wenneras and

46、Dr. Wold identified, after careful analysis, two factors that improved the scores significantly: being male and knowing a reviewer. In fact, the difference was so great that in order to get the same competence score as a man, a woman would need either to know someone on the committee or to have published three more papers than the man in Nature or Science. It is often joked that a woman has to be twice as good as a man to do well; Dr. Wenneras and Dr. Wold found that she would need to be, on average, 2.5 times as good
