(上海卷)Being alone in outer space can be frightening. That is one reason why astronauts on solo (单独的) space flights were given plenty of work to keep them   45  . They were also in constant communication with people on the earth.   46  , being with people from whom you cannot get away might be even harder than being alone. This is what happens on long submarine(潜水艇) voyages. It will also happen on   47   space flights in the future. Will there be special problems of adjustment under such conditions?
Scientists have studied the reactions of men to one another during long submarine voyages. They have found that the longer the voyage lasts, the more serious the problem of   48   is. When men are   49   together for a long period, they begin to feel uneasy. Everyone his little habits of speaking and behaving that are ordinarily acceptable. In the limited space over a long period of time, however, these little habits may become very   50  .
Apparently, although no one wants to be   51   all the time, everyone needs some degree of privacy. When people are enclosed together, they are in what is called a stress situation. That means that they are under an unusual amount of   52   or stress.
People who are well – adjusted are able to   53   stress situations better than others. That is one reason why, so much care is taken in   54   our astronauts. These men undergo a long period of testing and training. One of the things tested is their behaviour under stress.

 (上海卷)One topic is rarely mentioned in all the talk of improving standards in our schools: the almost complete failure of foreign – language teaching. As a French graduate who has taught for more than twenty – five years, I believe I have some idea of why the failure is so total.  55   the faults already found out in the education system as a whole – such as child – centred learning, the “discovery” method, and the low expectations by teachers of pupils – there have been several serious   56   which have a direct effect on language teaching.
The first is the removal from the curriculum (课程) of the thorough teaching of English   57  . Pupils now do not know a verb from a noun, the subject of a sentence from its object, or the difference between the past, present, or future.
Another important error is mixed – ability teaching, or teaching in ability groups so   58   that the most able pupils are   59   and are bored while the least able are lost and   60   bored. Strangely enough, few head teachers seem to be in favour of mixed – ability school football teams.
Progress depends on memory, and pupils start to forget immediately they stop having   61   lessons. This is why many people who attended French lessons at school, even those who got good grades, have forgotten it a few years later.  62   they never need it, they do not practise it.
Most American schools have accepted what is inevitable and   63   modern languages, even Spanish, from the curriculum. Perhaps it is time for Britain to do the same, and stop   64   resources on a subject which few pupils want or need.
