A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time; if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other peoples. In the same way, children learn to do all the other things without being taught to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycleThey compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them for himself. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake. If it is a matter in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time in such routine(日常的) work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he cant find the way to get the right answer. Let the children learn what all educated persons must some day learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what he does not know.56. According to the passage, the best way for children to learn things is by _.A .listening to skilled peoples advice.B. asking older people many questionsC. making mistakes and having them correctedD. doing what other people do57. According to the writer, teachers in school should _.A .allow children to learn from each otherB. point out childrens mistakes whenever foundC. correct childrens mistakes as soon as possibleD. give children more book knowledge58. The passage suggests that learning to speak and learning to ride a bicycle are _.A .different from learning other skillsB. the same as learning skillsC. more important than other skillsD. not really important skills59. The title of this passage could probably be _.A. Let Us Teachers Stop WorkB. Let Us Make Children LearnC. Let Children Correct Their ExercisesD. Let Children Learn by ThemselvesBDear Mr. Barton，Im writing in the name of the residents association (居委会)to inform you of our feelings regarding your behaviour (行为). Weve really had just about enough of youAlthough we have tried to speak to you civilly on several occasions，you have always responded with a stream of verbal abuse (谩骂)Ever since you moved in three months ago，you have shown very little consideration for the other residents of the building，despite numerous complaintsFor the past six weekends in a row， you have held extremely noisy parties，which have not finished until the early hours of the morningIts just not on! As you are aware，most of the people here are old people or have very young children，and the noise keeps them awake all nightYou dont have to be so noisy，do you?Last weekend the situation deteriorated further when two of your acquaintances（相识）were involved in a fight on the first floor landingThe disturbance was so bad that the police had to be calledWhats more，your mates left the stairs in a terrible statethey even broke two windows on their way out! We feel that this type of bad behaviour is unbearableWe strongly recommended that you arrange payment for this damage to the windows，soonIf you dont and you carry on being a nuisance (令人讨厌的人)，we will kick you out! Legal steps will be taken if necessaryYours sincerely60. We can infer from this letter that the writers attitude towards to Mr. Barton is _www.ks5uAexcited BupsetCangry Dhappy61. What does the underlined word “deteriorated” in the letter most probably mean?AchangedBbecame betterCmoved Dgot worse62. What is the main purpose of the writer?ATo inform Mr. Barton of the noise he madeBTo tell Mr. Barton to leave the building for the peaceCTo give a threat to Mr. BartonDTo talk about what Mr. Barton did in the building63. From this letter，we can conclude that the writer and Mr. Barton are _Afriends Bneighbours Cstrangers DcompanionsCIn the future your automobile will run on water instead of gas! You will be able to buy a supercomputer that fits in your pocket! You might even drive a flying car!For each prediction that has come true today, several others have missed by a mile. Many of these predictions didnt consider how people would want to use the technology. Or if people really needed it in their lives or not. Lets look at some predictions from the not-too-distant past.Robot HelpersWheres the robot in my kitchen? Nowhere, of course. And hes probably not coming anytime soon. Robots do exist today, but mostly in factories and other Manufacturing environments.Back in the 1950s, however, people said that by now personal robots would be in most peoples home.So why hasnt happened? Probably because robots are still too expensive and clumsy. And maybe the idea of robots cooking our dinners and washing our clothes is just too weird. At home we seem to be doing fine without them.Telephones of TomorrowIn 1964 an American company introduced the video telephone. They said by the year 2000 most people would have a video phone in their homes. But of course the idea hasnt caught on yet.Why? The technology worked fine, but it overlooked something obvious: peoples desire for privacy. Would you want to have a video phone conversation with someone after you just stepped out of the shower? Probably not it could be embarrassing! Just because a technology available doesnt always mean people will want to use it.And finally, how about that crazy prediction of the flying car? Its not so crazy anymore! But a flying car remains one of the most fascinating technology ideas to capture our imagination. Keep watching the news or perhaps the sky outside your window to see what the future will bring.64. The whole passage is mainly about _.Apredictions that have come trueBpredictions that havent come trueCwhy predictions dont come true easilyDwhat technology will bring about65. Which of the following is probably not the authors belief?APredictions neednt consider peoples practical use of technology.BThe future isnt always easy to guess.CNot all past predictions have come true. www.ks5uDMany of the high-tech things our parents thought wed be using by now simply neverappeared.66. The underlined word “weird” probably means _.Awonderful Bstupid Cpractical Dstrange67. What does the author think of the flying car?AIt is too difficult to imagine.BIt is too crazy an idea.CIt is likely to be made.DIt is often reported in the news.DFor Chinese students the end of their senior year is filled with studying and stress as they prepare for the college entrance exams in JuneBut for American high school seniors the experience couldnt be more differentThe end of senior year is a celebration of their time in high school and involves parties，games and funSenioritis is a commonly used expressionIt means seniors have a disease which makes them unable to do workThis starts in April when seniors find out where they have been accepted to universityUnwilling to do school work，seniors have plenty of other activities to focus onMany schools have a “Senior Show”，in which only seniors are allowed to performSome seniors sing or dance but many of them perform skits (小喜剧)，where they make fun of their favorite teachers or their friendsFor example，a group of boys may dress up and imitate a group of their girl friendsIt is all very light-heartedThe “Senior Show” is usually a part of Senior Week，which is a week specifically dedicated (专用的) to seniorsDuring this week，seniors usually get academic or athletic awards they have won over their high school careersThe seniors also vote for one of their male and female classmates who they believe is the best-looking or funniest or most involved，etcThese are then published in the yearbookThe yearbook is an important part of high school for seniorsIt is usually dedicated to them and has all their pictures and a quote from them in itThen seniors go around and get it signed by their friends so they can always remember their time togetherOf course during all of this time，seniors are preparing for the Senior Prom，which is an important moment in American cultureIt is the most important dance in a young Americans lifeThe end of senior year is a truly special and wonderful time for American studentsIts something they will remember for the rest of their lives68.

American high school seniors suffer from “senioritis” because_Ait is a common diseaseBthey have already been accepted to universityCthey have too many activities to take part inDthey are too lazy to do school work70.
