concept of blended （融合的） learning, an approach to education which seeks to combine the best of new technology and actual human contactadvocates of blended learning argue that an approach to study which combines the benefits of new technology with the best aspects of face-to-face （often abbreviated to f2f） teaching, will achieve better resultsfor example, there are some aspects of study, like practical sessions, dealing with more subjective questions, or meeting the needs of an individual student, which require face-to-face human interaction, whereas the more mechanical aspects of learning, such as answers to clear-cut questions, can be managed simply and effectively in a remote environment using new technologyblended learning approaches have proven especially appropriate in language learningfor example, in an elt （english language teaching ） environment, a simple scenario （剧情概要） might be a classroom session where a teacher asks a group of students to use a wiki to create a text students then go away and compose and edit the text remotelyduring the next f2f session, the teacher express his opinion about their work64what is the main idea of this passage?ablended

（植物学） , the study of plants, occupies a particular position in the history of human knowledgefor many thousands of years it was the one field of awareness about which humans had anything more than the vaguest （模糊的） of insightsit is impossible to know today just what our stone age ancestors knew about plants, but from what we can observe of pre-industrial societies that still exist, a detailed learning of plants and their properties must be extremely ancientthis is logicalplants are the basis of the food pyramid for all living things even for other plantsthey have always been enormously important to the welfare of people not only for food but also for clothing, tools, medicines, shelter, and a great many other purposestribes living today in the jungle of the amazon recognize hundreds of plants and know many properties of eachto them, botany has no name and is probably not even recognized as a special branch of knowledge at allunfortunately, the more industrialized we become, the farther away we move from direct contact with plants, and the less distinct our knowledge growsyet everyone comes unconsciously on an amazing amount of botanical knowledge, and few people will fail to recognize a rose or an applewhen nor neolithic ancestors, living in the middle east about 10,000 years ago, discovered that certain grasses could be harvested and their seeds planted for richer fields the next seasonthe first, great step in a new association of plants and humans was takengrains were discovered and from them flowed the wonder of agriculture: cultivated cropsfrom then on, humans would increasingly take their living from the controlled production of a few plants, rather than getting a little here and a little there from many varieties that grew wild, and the accumulated knowledge of tens of thousands of years of experience with plants in the wild would begin to fade away68what does the writer mean when he says this is logical in the first paragraph?ahuman knowledge

plantdit is reasonable to assume our ancestors behave much like people in pre-industrial societies69according to the passage, general knowledge of botany begun to fade away because _apeople no longer value plants as a useful resourcebdirect contact with a variety of plants has decreasedcbotany is not recognized as a special branch of sciencedresearch is unable to keep up with the increasing number

of the separation from his parentsthe british psychoanalyst john bowlby believes that separation from the parents during the sensitive attachment period from birth to three may scar （留下疤痕） a childs personality and incline to emotional problems in later lifesome people have drawn the conclusion from bowlbys work that children should not be sent to day care before the age of three, and many people do believe thisbut there are also arguments against such a strong conclusionfirstly, anthropologists （人类学家） point out that the hidden love between children and parents found in modem societies does not usually exist in traditional societiesfor example, we saw earlier that among the ngonis the father and mother of a child did not raise their infant alonebut traditional societies are so different from modern societies that comparisons based on just one factor are hard to understandsecondly, common sense tells us that day care would not be so widespread today if parents and caretakers found that children had problems with itbut bowlbys analysis raises the possibility that early day care has delayed effectsthe possibility that such care might lead to more mental illness or crime 15 or 20
