16.One day,I received a call from a colleague.He was about to give a student a zero for his answer to a physical problem,while the student claimed a perfect score.I was elected as their arbiter(仲裁人).I read the examination problem:"Show how it is possible to determine the height of a tall building with the aid of a barometer(气压计)."The student had answered;"Take the barometer to the top of the building,attach a long rope to it,lower it to the street,and then bring it up,measuring the length of the rope.The length of it is the height of the building."
The student had really answered the question completely,but the answer didn't confirm his competence in physics.I suggested the student try again.I gave him six minutes to answer the question,warning that the answer should show some knowledge of physics.Five minutes later,he said he had many answers and dashed off one,which read:"Take the barometer to the top of the building and lean over the edge of the roof.Drop the barometer,timing its fall with a stopwatch.Then,use the physical formula(公式)to calculate the height of the building."
At this point,my colleague had to accept it,and then the student made almost full marks.I couldn't help asking the student what the other answers were.He listed many others,and then added,"Probably the best is to take the barometer to the administrator and said to him,‘Sir,here is a fine barometer.If you tell me the height of the building,I will give it to you.",
Then,I asked the student if he really did not know the conventional answer to this question.He admitted that he did,but said that he was fed up with high school and college instructors trying to teach him how to think.
The name of the student was Bohr who later was famous all over the world.He won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1922.

36.The student got a zero at the beginning becauseD.
A.the teacher wasn't satisfied with him
B.his answer wasn't complete or correct
C.the teacher didn't fully understand his answer
D.his answer didn't show his knowledge of physics
37.We know from the passage thatA.
A.the student knew the expected answer
B.the administrator told Bohr the height
C.the author preferred Bohr's last answer
D.the teacher was a very stubborn person
38.We can learn from the passage thatC.
A.instructors can teach students how to think
B.arbiters can help students to get high scores
C.students should be given more freedom in thinking
D.teachers should make students use physical formulas
39.What was Bohr's attitude toward his schooling?B
A.Optimistic.  B.Critical.  C.Approving.  D.Pessimistic.

分析 本文属于说明文阅读,作者通过这篇文章主要向我们讲述了一个学生的物理答案得0分,但他自己认为满分,他就是后来伟大的物理学家波尔,他十分批判学校应试教育的教育模式,提倡自由思考,作者旨在呼吁学校应允许学生自由地思考.

解答 36.D推理判断题.根据文章第一段"Take the barometer to the top of the building,attach a long rope to it,lower it to the street,and then bring it up,measuring the length of the rope.The length of it is the height of the building"他用绳子绑着气压计从楼上放下来,只通过测量绳子的长度就可求得楼高,可知这个学生的答案没有涉及到物理方面的知识;故选D.
37.A细节理解题.根据文章最后一段:Then,I asked the student if he really did not know the conventional answer to this question.He admitted that he did,可知他后来成为伟大的物理学家,可推测这个学生知道这个问题的答案;故选A.
38.C推理判断题.根据文章最后一段:but said that he was fed up with high school and college instructors trying to teach him how to think.可知学生应该被允许自由地思考;故选C.
39.B推理判断题.根据文章倒数第二段:but said that he was fed up with high school and college instructors trying to teach him how to think.可知Bohr他知道问题的常规答案,但是厌倦了高中干涉他思考方式的教育方法,可知他对学校教育是批判的;故选B.

点评 本文是人物故事类阅读理解.做这类题材阅读理解时要求考生对文章通读一遍,做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析,结合选项选出正确答案.推理判断题也是要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确答案,切忌胡乱猜测,一定要做到有理有据.

6.A poet is in his words
       The writings of William Shakespeare are today little read by young people in Britian.His young readership is limited to those who choose to study literature at university.
       Still,in British schools,____________ to study the poet,and when something is made compulsory,usually the result is boredom,resentment or both.Shakespeare,Chareles Dickens,Jane Austen-for many of the young,reading them can seem like being forced to eat medicine,especially when people are at an age when they are beginning to discover themselves and wanting to claim their independence.
       This was my experience of the classics at school.But when I reached my late teenage years,I had a change of heart.Like every other young person since the dawn of time,the world confused me.I wanted answers,so I turned to books to find them.
       I went on to take a PhD in literature and have taught the subject in universities in Britain and China.I have never regretted it.There is something in literature that people want,even if they don't read books.
       You see this in the popularity of TV and movie adaptations of great works,the recent film version of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice being a case in point.These popular adaptations may help increase people's interest in the classic.
       Reading a simplified Romeo and Juliet may perhaps lead to a reading of Shakespeare's actual play.If that is the case then I welcome the trend.But do not make the mistake of thinking that it is the same thing.Shakespeare is a poet and his greatness is in his language.Reading someone else's rewriting of his work is like peeling (剥皮) a banana,throwing away the fruit,and eating the skin.Take on the original.It really is worth the effort.
                                                                             
76.Find a sentence from the text which can explain the title.Shakespeare is a poet and his greatness is in his language
77.Fill in the blank in Paragraph 2 with proper words to complete the sentence.(within 5 words)it is compulsory/required
78.Why are the adaptations of great works popular?They may help increase people's interest in the classic.
79.Do you think it necessary to read the original?Why?(within 30 words)Yes,it is.Reading the original,we can really grasp the spirits of his works and can enjoy its language.
80.Translate the underlined sentence in the last paragraph into Chinese.读他(莎士比亚)作品的改写本就如同将香蕉剥皮后,弃其肉而食其皮..

4.During the last four days my family was celebrating a marriage.A cousin of mine came all the way from Florida to Brazil with his bride because they wanted to marry here.Today,the fourth day of partying,everybody went to a country house,which is where the newly-wed couple is staying.
Just as night fell,I was wandering around a swimming pool when I saw a group of my youngest cousins (three boys aged 6,9,and 14,and a girl who was 12,I'm 22),and they were talking about school.Specifically,they were cursing Math.I was curious and asked them what subjects they liked.Physics was a top of the list,which is an oxymoron(矛盾),for when people like Physics and dislike Math,there is clearly something amiss(不正常).
One thing I have to say about our schools is that most of them don't care much about what students feel when they're being"educated".As long as everybody's getting good grades and the older boys and girls are getting past colleges'admission exams,everything is fine.My point is that being force-fed knowledge in annoying and painful ways causes people to forget all about the subject right after the tests,and even worse,they generate hatred and grief towards precious knowledge.It was quite obvious,the reason why the kids didn't like Math; instead of being stimulated towards learning it with a passion,they had to behave as little turning machines which would read a formula on one piece of text,and give an output right below the question,with no understanding of the logic involved.In a cruel Pavlovian(巴甫洛夫学说的) system,they were punished (read:failed exams   for inaccurate outputs,and rewarded for correct answers.

46.Where were they celebrating the marriage?C
A.In England.  B.In Florida.  C.In Brazil.  D.In China.
47.The author isC years older than his girl cousin.
A.22              B.12                C.IO              D:8
48.The underlined word"cursing"meansB.
A.like              B.hate               C.love             D.excuse
49.The author thinks the problem in their schools isB.
A.students like Physics but dislike Math
B.schools do not care about students''feeling
C.students have less free time
D.schools shouldn't teach students all the subjects
50.From the text we may know that the author agrees thatC.
A.students shouldn't be educated at all
B.schools must teach students all the subjects they may use in the future
C.students should be well educated based on their interest
D.school should be opened to the public.

11.I was appreciating my family photos on my computer,admiring my two beautiful babies,when I found a disturbing trend:my laptop was in almost all the pictures.There was my daughter,8months old,playing at my feet while I was typing away on the couch.There was me and my son,with the laptop at my side as I held him in my arms.
I'd heard about the Internet addiction before,but always assumed I was something limited to socially challenged guys who played too much World of Warcraft (a computer game).Now it seemed my Internet"habit"is slowly but surely crossing the line.Sometimes I find myself up at midnight,surfing the Web while my family are sleeping.I read news,keep up with friends and write my blog …just for something to do.
It turns out that I'm not the only mama who is addicted to the computer.These moms are contributing to a growing global addiction.There's a movement among psychiatrists (doctors who specialize in mental diseases) to recognize the Internet addiction as an official mental disorder.And a recent Stanford University national survey found that 14percent of Internet users find it hard to stay away from it for several days at a time; 9percent try to hide their"unnecessary Internet use"from their loved ones; 8percent admit they use the Web as a way to escape problems.
You're likely not the kind of addict who doesn't bathe and abuses drugs to help her stay"up"for more online time.You may have noticed,though,that going online has become a necessary part of your life,which,at least,means a load of clothes go unwashed.
It may also mean you're missing much time with you baby-something you probably do care about.

59.From Paragraph 1,we can conclude thatD.
A.the author was busy taking care of her babies
B.the author's job had something to do with computers
C.the author was not good at taking photos of her babies
D.the author looked after her babies while using the computer.
60.The author used to think that the Internet addiction isD.
A.using the web at midnight        B.keeping up with friends online
C.spending too much time online    D.being addicted to computer games
61.In medical terms,the Internet addiction isC.
A.a personal life habit         B.a way to escape problems
C.an official mental disorder   D.the unnecessary use of the Internet
62.What does the author want to express in the last but one paragraph?B
A.Many women still can control their online time.
B.The Internet addiction influences housewives'lives a lot.
C.Going online has become a necessary part of women's lives.
D.Many people don't realize that they are addicted to the Internet.
