The man started to cry. “When my wife died, I thought ,well, it is from God, but at least I have him.” he said. “Then I learned he is sick, too. I asked if there was medicine and the doctors said no. HIV and AIDS have quietly arrived in this land. They remain almost pletely underground, hidden in ignorance（无知）and shame. The father of the infected 18-month-old said his village teacher had never talked about AIDS. Nearly a year of tests on the father have found no HIV, and the old children are clear, but his smallest child tested positive（阳性）at ten months.

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: they should learn to do without being taught, such as to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicyclepare 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 unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to .Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not. If it is a matter of right answer, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such routine（常规）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 theyknow or do not know. 1 .Aording to the passage ,the best way for children to learn things is by_ A .listening to skilled peoples advice B .asking older people many questions. C .making mistakes and having them corrected D .doing what other people do 2 .which of the following does the writer think teachers should NOT do? A. Give children correct answers. B .Allow children to make mistakes. C .Point out childrens mistakes to them. D. Let children mark their own work. 3. Aording to the writer, teachers in school should_ A. allow children to learn from each other B. point out childrens mistakes whenever found C .correct childrens mistakes as soon as possible D. give children more book knowledge 4.The passage suggests that learning to speak and learning to ride a bicycle are _ A. different from learning other skills B. the same as learning other skills C. more important than other skills D. not really important skills 本文论述了什么才是最好的学习方法。老师应该做什么，不应该做什么。 1 D 主旨归纳题。 根据段意推理可知。 2 C 细节理解题。 从第一段推理可知。 3 A 细节理解题。 根据地一段第四句推知。 4 B 主旨归纳题。 根据第一段第五段可知。 （3） The first and best of victories is for a man to conquer himself; to be conquered by himself is, of all things, the most shameful,” says Plato. Self-control is at the root of all the advantages. Let a man give in to his impulses(冲动) and feelings, and from that moment he gives up his moral(道德) freedom. A single angry word has lost many friends. When Socrates found in himself any temper or anger, he would check it by speaking low in order to control himself. If you are conscious of being angry, keep your mouth shut so that you can hold back rising anger. Many a person has dropped dead in great anger. Fits of anger bring fits of disease. “Whoever the gods would destroy they first make them mad.” “Keep cool,” says Webster, “anger is not argument.” “Be calm in arguing,” says George Herbert, “for fierceness(狂怒) makes error a fault.” To be angry with a weak man is to prove that you are not strong yourself. “Anger,” says Pythagoras, “brings with folly and ends with regret.” You must measure the strength of a man by the power of the feelings he conquers, not by the power of those which conquer him. Self-control is mans last and greatest victory. If a man lacks self-control he seems to lack everything. Without it he can have no patience, no power to govern himself; he can have no self-confidence, for he will always be controlled by his strongest feeling. If he lacks self-control, the very backbone and nerve of character are lacking also. (from ) 1. What?s the main idea of the passage? A. The importance of self- control.B. How to conquer oneself? C. The relation between a mans moral freedom and his feelings. D. A man should keep cool. 2. What?s the meaning of “whoever the gods would destroy they first make them mad”? A. If you are mad, the gods will kill you. B. If you lose your temper first, gods will kill you first. C. If you cant control yourself, you will be crazy. D. If the gods want to kill you, they will make you mad first. 3. Which of the following is NOT true, aording to passage? A. The first and best of victories is for a man to conquer himself. B. You will make a small mistake serious if you dont keep cool. C. You must measure a mans strength by the power of the feelings which conquer him. D. Anger brings with folly and ends with regret. 4. Which of the following can?t help you avoid anger, aording to the passage? A. Be calm in arguing.B. Check your temper or anger by speaking low. C. Keep your mouth shut.D. Try to make the other angry first. 1. A 主旨大意题。根据文章第 1 段的第 2 句 Self-control is at the root of all the advantages 及全文的内容可知，本文的大意是“自控的重要性”。故答案选 A。 2. D 语义理解题。根据上文 you can hold back rising anger. Many a person has dropped dead in great anger. Fits of anger bring fits of disease 可知答案选 D。 3. C 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第 3 段的最后一句 You must measure the strength of a man by the power of the feelings he conquers, not by the power of those which conquer him 可知，选项 C 与之矛盾。故答案选 C。 4. D 推理判断题。根据文章第 2 段的第 2 句和第 3 句以及最后一句可以排除选项 A、B、C，从而得出答案为 D。 （4） Very old people do raise moral problems for almost everyone who es in contact with them. Their valuesthis cant be repeated too oftenare not necessarily our values. Physical fort, cleanness and order are not necessarily the most important things. The social services from time to time find themselves faced with a flat with decaying food covered by small worms, and an old person lying alone in bed, taking no notice of the worms. But is it interfering(干涉) with personal freedom to insist that they go to live with some of their relatives so that they might be taken better care of? Some social workers, the ones who clear
