i described the entire framework (结构) of western thought and laid the historical 47 for all the works well study in class,” i complained. “_48_ should they say i didnt teach them anything?” it was a long term, and it 49 became clear that my ideas about education were not the same as 50 of my students. i thought a teachers job was to raise 51 questions and provide enough background _52_ students could draw their own conclusions. my students thought a teachers job was to provide exact information as _53_ and clearly as possible. what a difference! _54 , i also learnt a lot, and my experience with my chinese students made me a 55_ american teacher, knowing how to teach in a different culture.36. a. the uk b. china c. the us d. australia37. a. worry b. doubt c. idea d. experience38. a. fix b. put c. leave d. impress 39. a. stand up b. look out c. at ease d. attention40. a. sure b. puzzled c. curious d. worried41. a. sadness b. attention c.happiness d. calmness42. a. more b.yet c. even d. still43. a. kept b. borrowed c. passed d. read44. a. moved b. taken c. caught d. replaced 45. a. naturally b. fortunately c.perhaps d. reasonably46. a. different b.similar c.same d. usual47. a. background b. characters c. development d.happenings 48. a. what b. how c. when d. where49. a. immediately b. certainly c. gradually d. simply50. a. that b. what c. ones d. those 51. a.interesting b.difficult c. ordinary d. unusual52. a. so as to b. so that c. such that d. in case53. a. slowly b. carefully c. quickly d. directly54. a. however b. therefore c. besides d. though55. a. normal b. happy c. better d. good 第三部分 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。(a) today, air travel is far safer than driving a car on a busy motor-way. but still there is a danger that grows every year. airliners get larger and larger. some airplanes can carry over 300 passengers. and the air itself becomes more and more crowded. if one large airliner struck into another in midair, 600 lives could be lost. from the moment an airliner takes off to the moment it lands, every movement is watched on radar screens. air traffic controllers tell the pilot exactly when to turn, when to climb, and when to come down. the air traffic controllers around a busy airport like london-heathrow may deal with 2,500 planes a day. not all of them actually land at the airport. any plane that flies near the airport comes under the orders of the controllers there. even a small mistake on their part could cause a terrible accident. recently such a disaster almost happened. two large jets were flying towards the airport. one was carrying 69 passengers from toronto, the other 176 passengers from chicago. an air traffic controller noticed on his radar screen that the two planes were too close to each other. he ordered one to turn to the right and to climbbut he made a mistake. he ordered the wrong plane to do this. so, instead of turning away from the second plane, the first plane turned towards it. fifteen seconds later it flew directly in front of the second plane. they avoided (避免) each other by the smallest part of a second. the distance between them was less than that of a large swimming pool. this is an example of the danger that grows every year. 56. which of the following is true according to the passage? a. traveling by air is as safe as by car b. traveling by car is more dangerous than by air c. traveling by car is as dangerous as by aird .traveling by air is not as safe as by car57. the air traffic controllers of an airport _ a. only deal with the planes that want to land there b. give orders to planes leaving the airport c. control all the planes flying near the airport d. are allowed to handle 250 planes a day58. the danger of air crashes grows every year because _ a. airports can hardly serve the growing number of airplanes b. a pilot does not always hear a controllers order c. a controller is likely to make more and more mistakes d. airliners are getting larger and air traffic is becoming heavier59. the example in the passage is to show that _a.air traffic controllers should pay much attention to avoiding accidentsb.air traffic controllers are often carelessc. it is difficult for airplanes to avoid terrible accidentsd. two planes should not fly too close to each other ( b ) in my opinion , things are not difficult . we only make them difficult if we have the wrong attitude toward them .lets take a book we have to read for example . they say it is great , but they also say it is difficult . if you start by continuing the pages , of course it is going to seem difficult ; however , if before reading it , one asks for more information about it in order to form an opinion , that is a good way . when you have to do something , dont take your interest away from it . start working ! you have to take things slowly . try to be patient and you will see how easy things are . if you have to read that book , then start reading it . take it page by page . there is no hurry . make sure you pay attention to every line you read . try to use your imagination and youll see how fast you can understand the word you read .we are likely to be so shallow that we would prefer to say “this thing is too difficult” rather than actually try to do it . we have the ability to make things easier and that power lies in our minds .it has been proved that first impression isnt always right . that is why we have to see how things are on the inside . if we believe in ourselves we can move mountains .there is no one who knows you better than yourself . its like a growing process . dont let anyone or anything stand in your way ! if you give yourself a little patience youll see how easy things are ! 60. according to the passage , what is the right thing to do before reading a book ?
