? \paragraphs and then how to link paragraphs?\Michael Lewis points out, that though a wide 12 of methods has been developed over the last decades we still do not know how best to teach our students. Nowadays there is a 13 in the field to favor the notion of approach which serves the teaching profession well since experience has shown that no one method can provide a 14 answer to students' different needs. The following are two 15 principles on which different approaches to writing are supposed to be based.

Directions: There are several passages in this section. Each passage 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.
? Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
Sign has become a scientific hot button. Only in the past 20 years have specialists in language study realized that sign languages are unique — a speech of the hand. They offer a new way to probe how the brain generates and understands language, and throw new light on an old scientific controversy: whether language, complete with grammar, is something that we are born with, or whether it is a learned behavior. The current interest in sign language has roots in the pioneering work of one rebel teacher at Gallaudet University in Washington, D. C., the world's only liberal arts university for deaf people.
When Bill Stokoe went to Gallaudet to teach English, the school enrolled him in a course in signing. But Stokoe noticed something odd: among themselves, students signed differently from his classroom teacher.
Stokoe had been taught a sort of gestural code, each movement of the hands representing a word in English. At the time, American Sign Language (ASL) was thought to be no more than a form of pidgin English (混杂英语). But Stokoe believed the \Might deaf people actually have a genuine language? And could that language be unlike any other on Earth? It was 1955, when even deaf people dismissed their signing as \academic heresy (异端邪说).
It is 37 years later. Stokoe — now devoting his time to writing and editing books and journals and to producing video materials on ASL and the deaf culture — is having lunch at a café near the Gallaudet campus and explaining how he started a revolution. For decades educators fought his idea that sign languages are natural languages like English, French and Japanese. They assumed language must be based on speech, the modulation (调节) of sound. But sign language is based on the movement of hands, the modulation of space. \— it's brain stuff.\

Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
A great majority of our nine million college students are in school not because they want to be or because they want to learn. They are there because it has become the thing to do or because college is a pleasant place to be in; because it's the only way they can get parents or tax-payers to support them without working at a job they don't like; because mothers want them to do so, or for some other reason entirely not related to the course of studies for which college is supposedly organized. Some of the professors and administrators estimate that no more than 25 per cent of their students are interested in class work. For the rest, college is at best a social center or a place where time can be killed, and at worst a young people's home or even a prison that keeps them out of the way of economic life for a few more years. I no longer accept the idea that college is the best place for all high-school graduates. Just as the United States was the first nation to make great efforts to teach every small child to read and write, so during the 1950s, we became the first and the only great nation to offer higher education to all. During the 60's we built great state university systems as fast as we could. And adults — parents, employers, high school teachers began to push the youth to get an education. By 1970, colleges and universities were spending more than 30 billion dollars yearly. But still only half our high-school graduates were going on.
Now the babies have graduated from college, the rate of growth of the student population has begun to increase. To keep their universities financially supported many institutions have begun to attract students by using whatever means they can. They sell college like soap, promoting features they think students
