Researchers from Sheffield Hallam University in the UK examined students reasons for choosing particular seats in a lecture hall, and studiedhow seating positions influence student performance.“Interaction (互动) is a key part of learning and knowing who the students are interacting with can be a great benefit when designing activities,” said David P Smith of Sheffield Hallam University.Many students preferred being able to sit with their friends, while others were more concerned with either attracting or avoiding the lecturers attention. Some students chose seats that allowed them to see and hear clearly, while others picked seats that are easy for them to leave and thatmake them feel less anxious, researchers said.Friendship groups who sat together tended to achieve similar grades, and students who sat alone at the edges tended to do worse than average.Lecturers may be able to use these findings to provide assistance to anxious students, and to support the learning of all students by encouraging interactions between the different groups.Appraising (评估) classroom rows based on academic success, some professors have found out that the front rows are usually held by outgoing scholarly students.“I notice the more prepared and active students sit in front rows.” said Dr. Chris Hammons, dean of the College of Arts and Humanities and chair of the department of government (London). Perhaps more importantly, the front row may be the ideal location for shy, timid students who have trouble paying attention. Also, sitting closer to the front of the room does have an effect on student-teacher interaction, which is linked to greater academic performance. According to a studypublished in 2020, students grades lowered by 0.1 point for every row further back students sit.32. What is the most important part of learning according to David P Smith?A. Lectures.B. Seats.C. Interaction.D. Activities.33. How can lecturers use these findings to help students?A. By providing assistance to anxious students.B. By helping them to choose their friends carefully.C. By providing them with suggestions on choosing seats.D. By encouraging them to interact with different groups.34. Where does a student prefer to sit if he wants to get higher scores?A. In the front row.B. In the middle row.C. In the back row.D. At the edges.35. What is the main idea of the passage？A. Students should choose seats carefully.B. A study on seats is carried out by researchers.C. Different students may choose different seats.D. Seating position can influence students scores.第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。An increasing number of American states are short of teachers. 36 . In others, schools are not finding enough language teachers. Here are the reasons:Shortages blamed on low payShortages have largely been blamed on low pay for U.S. teachers. 37 , while fewer people are choosing to become teachers. Over the past year, teachers from Arizona to West Virginia held strikes (罢工) to ask higher pay and better working conditions.38Many U.S. states are facing teacher shortages heading into the new 2020 school year.A study by the Learning Policy Institute found about 80 percent of school districts across the state reported a shortage of teachers during the 2020 school year.But education experts say it is difficult to speak about a nationwide teacher shortage because each state and school district is so different. “Some states really are not having much of a problem at all, others do. 39 . The reason California is having a problem is not the same reason that Oklahoma is having a problem ”.Certifications (资质证书) differ across U.S. statesDan Goldhaber is the director of the Center for Education Data and Research at the University of Washington. 40 , making it more difficult for teachers to move to another state and quickly get a new job.“Teacher labor markets are pretty localized and each state has different certification systems. So its not like you can easily hire someone to teach in California who is a teacher in Massachusetts. We dont have that kind of a national teacher labor market.”A. Teachers need higher payB. Different states, different problemsC. California is facing the biggest problemD. And the reason they do is not one single reasonE. The problem has caused some teachers to leave for better paying jobsF. He says another reason for teacher shortages is that certifications differ across U.S. statesG.
