【题目】We can achieve knowledge either actively or passively. We achieve it actively by direct experience, by testing and proving an idea, or by reasoning.

We achieve knowledge passively by being told by someone else. Most of the learning that takes place in the classroom and the kind that happens when we watch TV or read newspapers or magazines is passive. Conditioned as we are to passive learning, it’s not surprising that we depend on it in our everyday communication with friends and co-workers.

Unfortunately, passive learning has a serious problem. It makes us tend to accept what we are told even when it is little more than hearsay(传闻) and rumor.

Did you ever play the game Rumor? It begins when one person writes down a message but doesn’t show it to anyone. Then the person whispers it, word for word, to another person. That person, in turn, whispers it to still another, and so on, through all the people playing the game. The last person writes down the message word for word as he or she hears it. Then the two written statements are compared. Typically, the original message has changed.

That’s what happens in daily life. The simple fact that people repeat a story in their own words changes the story. Then, too, most people listen imperfectly. And many enjoy adding their own creative touch to a story, trying to improve on it, stamping it with their own personal style. Yet those who hear it think they know.

This process is also found among scholars and authors: A statement of opinion by one writer may be restated as fact by another, who may in turn be quoted by yet another; and this process may continue, unless it occurs to someone to question the facts on which the original writer based his opinion or to challenge the interpretation he placed upon those facts.

1According to the passage, active learning may occur in ________.

A. reading scientific journals

B. listening to the teacher in class

C. doing a chemical experiment

D. watching news programmes on TV

2What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A. Classroom. B. Newspapers.

C. Active learning. D. Passive learning.

3The game Rumor is mentioned in Paragraph 4 in order to tell readers that ________.

A. playing games can make people more active

B. people tend to like telling lies when playing games

C. a message may be changed when being passed on

D. people may have problems with their sense of hearing

4What can be inferred from the text?

A. Scholars and authors can’t be trusted.

B. Passive learning may not be reliable.

C. People like spreading rumors in daily life.

D. Active learning is more Important than passive learning.

【答案】

1C

2D

3C

4B

【解析】本文介绍了主动学习和被动学习,区分了什么是主动学习,什么是被动学习。并用实例说明了被动学习存在的问题。

1细节理解题。根据第一段We achieve it actively by direct experience, by testing and proving an idea, or by reasoning.一句可知积极学习包括亲身经历,实践等。故做化学实验属于积极学习。故选C。

2推理判断题。it指代前面所说的事情,前面说的都是被动学习的内容。故选D。

3推理判断题。第四段介绍了Rumor这个游戏,即一个人写下信息让下面的人口述直到最后一个人写下信息内容,最后内容却被改变了。作者通过这个例子是想告诉我们信息在传递过程中可能会被改变,故选C。

4推理判断题。文章用两个例子说明了被动学习会改变原来说话者想要表达的意思,所以被动学习是不可靠的。故选B。

【题目】阅读理解

For my grandmother’s 70th birthday,my family and I visited South Korea.While there,I was attentive to Korean high schools and students.

I was surprised by how different Korea’s public high schools are from America’s.Korean high schools can be allgirls,allboys or coed (男女同校的) unlike our standard coed high schools.There are three grades:“go 1(10th)”,“go 2(11th)” and “go 3(12th)”.“Go” is the first syllable of the word “godeunghakkyo”,which,simply translated,is “high school”.

In America,unless you want to go to a private school,you don’t have to take an entrance exam.In Korea,however,students must take a test to get in because of the many choices of schools.

Another difference I couldn’t help but notice was the students’ appearance.With very few exceptions,all wear uniforms. A name tag (标牌) with the student’s name,grade and homeroom number must also be worn.Girl’s skirts can’t be above the upper part of the knee,and it is forbidden to dye(染) your hair or wear accessories (装饰品) except small earrings.There are strict regulations for appearance to achieve neatness,and it seems the only freedom students have is with their choices of hair style,socks and shoes.

The final difference was the setup of the classes.There may be 40 students in a classroom,but the number can be less or even more,depending on the population of the town or city.Although there are many students per classroom,they are very close,which I think is a result of not changing classrooms for different subjects.There are no levels in the subjects and the teachers are the ones who switch classrooms.They just have tenminute breaks between subjects.In each class,students are ranked by their grades.This causes strict competition,and Korean students do a lot of studying.To help them,all schools have extra study classes after school.One other fact that helped me appreciate living in America is that Koreans have school on Saturdays.Although it’s only a half day,I think I speak for most Americans when I say we could never imagine ourselves in school on a Saturday.

Korea’s public high schools are clearly different from America’s.I had imagined them to be just like our schools,but now I have a clear picture of how different they are.

【1】How many main differences are mentioned between Korea’s public high school and America’s?

A.3. B.4.

C.5. D.6.

【2】It seems that the writer ________.

A.is familiar with the education system of high schools in Korea

B.is fond of Korean students’ appearance

C.prefers the high school life of America to the one of Korea

D.feels it common to have lessons on weekends

【3】What does the underlined word “setup” in paragraph 5 probably mean?

A.Arrangement. B.Size.

C.Number. D.Outline.

【4】According to the rules, the students of Korea can ________.

A.go to different high schools without exams

B.wear any clothes except uniforms at school

C.attend different classes as they like

D.have different hair styles

【题目】阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A.B.C和D项中,选出最佳选项。

Americas No.1 Health Problem. So reads the headline of an article published by the American Institute of Stress that claims the biggest threat to health today is neither cancer nor AIDS. The report says: “It has been estimated(估计)that 75 to 90 percent of all visits to primary care physicians are for stress related problems.”

It is no exaggeration(夸张)to say that people today are being attacked by stress. According to the National Consumers League, “Work is the top source of stress for adults who have problems and stress in their lives (39%), followed by family (30%). Other sources include health (10%), concern about the economy (9%) and concern about international conflict and terrorism (4%).”

However, stress is hardly unique to the United States. A British survey in 2005 estimated that “over half a million individuals in Britain believed in 2004 that they were experiencing work-related stress at a level that was making them ill.” As a result of “work-related stress, depression or anxiety,” there are “an estimated thirteen and a half million reported lost working days per year in Britain.”

The picture is no less bleak in mainland Europe. According to the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work, work-related stress has been shown to affect millions of European workers across all types of employment sectors. One survey revealed that there are “about 41 million workers affected by work-related stress each year.”

What about Asia? A report issued by a conference held in Tokyo concluded: “Job stress is a common concern among many countries in the world, both developing and industrialized countries.” The report observed that “several countries in East Asia, including China and Korea, have rapidly industrialized and economically grown. These countries now have a lot of concerns on job stress and its harmful effects on workers’ health.”

A. both cancer and AIDS are not as serious as the threat of stress to health

【题目】Leonardo da Vinci’s mother may have been a Chinese slave according to a new research by an Italian historian and novelist—Angelo Paratico, who has spent the last 20 years living and working in Hong Kong, researching the links between his homeland and China over the past half century.

Mr Paratico said the documents he has uncovered during two years of research form the basis of his latest book Leonardo Da Vinci, a Chinese scholar lost in Renaissance(文艺复兴)Italy. The book, which is due to be published next year, uncovers evidence that there’s a link between Da Vinci and the Far East.

Speaking to the South China Morning Post, Mr Paratico said, “I am sure that Leonardo’s mother was from the East, but to make her a Chinese, we need to use a deductive method(演绎法). One wealthy client of Leonardo’s father had a slave called Caterina. After Leonardo’s date of birth, she disappeared from the documents.She was no longer working there.’’

It is believed that his mother was called Caterina, who, according to some reports, was a local peasant. But Mr Paratico’s new work claims it is most likely that Da Vinci’s mother was a slave. Supporting his theory, he said, “During the Renaissance, countries like Italy and Spain were full of slaves from the East.”

He claimed that there were certain aspects of Da Vinci’s life and works which suggest a Chinese link. For instance, he was writing with his left hand from left to right and he was also a vegetarian, which was not common. Mona Lisa is probably a portrait of his mother,as Sigmund Freud said in 1910. On the back of Mona Lisa, there is a Chinese landscape and even her face looks Chinese.

Mr Paratico said he believes the only way to solve the mystery is to dig out some of Da Vinci’s relations in Florence and extract some DNA.

1What is Mr Paratico’s latest book based on?

A. His research findings. B. His living experience.

C. His final visit to Italy. D. His interest in Renaissance.

2What may suggest there is a link between Da Vinci and Chinese?

A. His working habit. B. His ways of writing.

C. His birth date. D. His father’s friend.

3What can we learn about Da Vinci’s mother?

A. She was a slave of Leonardo’s father.

B. She quit working after her marriage.

C. She was buried in Florence after death.

D. She was probably the model of Mona Lisa.

【题目】阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A.B.C和D项中,选出最佳选项。

So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become certain. Christopher Reeve

Recently, for the first time in 5 years I simply went out back, put my cane down, and started walking. I made it 42 yards.

Today I walked 5 miles.

My medical team had said this would be impossible. My brain could no longer send the signals for walking because those nerves in it had been destroyed. Though certainly unintentional, my doctors did take something very important away from me: hope.

A while back, a psychologist pal of mine urged me to try to help myself. I was angry. I said, “They’re four of Boston’s leading neurologists. They all said I’d never get any better.”

“They could have all been wrong.”

“They said there’s nothing I can do! No rehabilitation(复原). No physical therapy(治疗). I’m not putting any effort into trying to walk and then be miserable when I fail.”

“Trying is never failure.”

What made me finally try? The answer is simpler than I’d have ever imagined. That day I tried walking on my own, I had simply said to myself, “Why not?”

When I walk I have a Frankenstein-style gait. I get embarrassed so I explain. I met a gal who said, “Stop excusing yourself. Walk proud!” She’s just one of the many who’ve taught me that if I open my heart to acceptance, the world is filled with support teams.

One morning my husband, Bob, said there was a huge present for me in our driveway. He had researched “bicycles for disabled people.” It was a 300 pound cycle for two. The seats were side by side. He could pedal while I sat by him and enjoyed the outdoors again.

Um... did I mention it came assembled with a set of pedals for me too?

Now, hundreds of miles later, after exhaustive hours of pedaling along beautiful bike trails, I only wish that we owned stock in Bengay.

【1】What’s the best title of this passage?

A. Having a tour

B. Realizing an Impossible dream

C. Walking with a cane

D. Suffering from disability

【2】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. My doctor concluded that I can walk again.

B. My brain could no longer send signals.

C. They're four famous doctors in my medical team.

D. My medical team’s conclusion took my hope away.

【3】The author didn’t want to try walking because _______.

A. her doctors said he couldn’t get any better

B. her friend’s words is unbelievable

C. she was miserable when he failed that time

D. trying is never failure

【4】The bicycle Bob found can be _____.

A. a 150 pound cycle for one

B. a bicycle for disabled people

C. a huge present that he sent.

D. of the same size as a normal one.

Do you hate your job? As far as I know, many young people liked complaining about their jobs. When my uncle started working about five years ago, he couldn’t stop complain about his work every time he got back from work. He considered his work simple and bored as he just needed to type works by famous writers. Therefore, as time went by, he found his work real helpful. When he was typing the works, he also read it. He learned lot from the works by famous writers and about two years later, his writing was greatly improved. He had his first books published last year and now he’s working for his second book.
