1、第11篇(Unit 3 Passage 3)Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time; if corrected too
2、0;much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the languages he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit,&
3、#160;he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people. In the same way, when children learn to do all the other things they learn to do
4、0;without being taught-to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle-compare those performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in
5、60;school we never give a child a chance to find out his own mistakes for himself, let alone correct them. We do it all for him. We act as if we
6、thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Soon he becomes dependent on the teache
7、r. Let him do it himself. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what answer is to that problem, wheth
8、er this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the ans
9、wer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us
10、;that he cant find the way to get the right answer. Lets end this nonsense of grades, exams, marks, Let us throw them all out, and let the children learn
11、160;what all educated persons must some day learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know.Let them get on with this
12、160;job in the way that seems sensible to them. With our help as school teachers if they ask for it. The idea that there is a body of knowledge to be&
13、#160;learnt at school and used for the rest of ones life is nonsense in a world as complicated and rapidly changing as ours. Anxious parents and teachers say, “
14、But suppose they fail to learn something essential they will need to get in the world?” Dont worry! If it is essential, they will go out into the world and
15、 learn it.1.What does the author think is the best way for children to learn things?A.by copying what other people do.B.by making mistakes and having them corrected.C.by&
16、#160;listening to explanations from skilled people.D.by asking a great many questions.2.What does the author think teachers do which they should not do?A.They give children correct
17、 answers.B.They point out childrens mistakes to them.C.They allow children to mark their own work.D.They encourage children to mark to copy from one another.3.The passage sugg
18、ests that learning to speak and learning to ride a bicycle are_.A.not really important skills.B.more important than other skills.C.basically different from learning adult skills.D.basic
19、ally the same as learning other skills.4.Exams, grades, and marks should be abolished because childrens progress should only be estimated by_.A.educated persons.B.the children themselve
20、s.C.teachers.D.parents.5.The author fears that children will grow up into adults while being_.A.too independent of others.B.too critical of themselves.C.incapable to think for themselves.D.incapa
21、ble to use basic skills.第11篇答案:ABDBC 第12篇(Unit 3 Passage 4)We can begin our discussion of “population as global issue” with what most persons mean when they discuss “the
22、 population problem”: too many people on earth and a too rapid increase in the number added each year. The facts are not in dispute, It was quite right to&
23、#160;employ the analogy that likened demographic growth to “a long, thin powder fuse that burns steadily and haltingly until it finally reaches the charge and explodes.”To
24、0;understand the current situation, which is characterized by rapid increases in population, it is necessary to understand the history of population trends. Rapid growth is a&
25、#160;comparatively recent phenomenon. Looking back at the 8,000 years of demographic history, we find that populations have been virtually stable or growing very slightly for
26、most of human history. For most of our ancestors, life was hard, often nasty, and very short. There was high fertility in most places, but this was usually bala
27、nced by high mortality. For most of human history, it was seldom the case that one in ten persons would live past forty, while infancy and childhood were especi
28、ally risky periods. Often, societies were in clear danger of extinction because death rates could exceed their birthrates. Thus, the population problem throughout most of hist
29、ory was how to prevent extinction of the human race.This pattern is important to notice. Not only does it put the current problems of demographic growth into a
30、historical perspective, but it suggests that the cause of rapid increase in population in recent years is not a sudden enthusiasm for more children, but an improvement
31、60;in the conditions that traditionally have caused high mortality.Demographic history can be divided into two major periods: a time of long, slow growth which extended from
32、160;about 8,000 BC.till approximately AD. 1650. In the first period of some 9600 years, the population increased from some 8 million to 500 million in 1650. Between
33、1650 and the present, the population has increased from 500 million to more than 4 billion. And it is estimated that by the year 2000 there will be 6.2 bil
34、lion people throughout the world. One way to appreciate this dramatic difference in such abstract numbers is to reduce the time frame to something that is more manag
35、eable. Between 8000BC and 1650, an average of only 50,000 persons was being added annually to the worlds population each year. At present, this number is added every
36、 six hours. The increase is about 80,000,000 persons annually.1.Which of the following demographic growth pattern is most suitable for the long thin powder fuse analogy?A.A
37、60;virtually stable or slightly decreasing period and then a sudden explosion of population.B.A slow growth for a long time and then a period of rapid, dramatic increase.
38、C.Too many people on earth and a few rapid increase in the number added each year.D.A long period when death rates exceeds birthrates and then a short period wi
39、th higher fertility and lower mortality.2.During the first period of demographic history, societies were often in danger of extinction because_.A.only one in ten persons could
40、;live past 40.B.there was higher mortality than fertility in most places.C.it was too dangerous to have babies due to the poor conditions.D.our ancestors had little enthusiasm
41、 for more children.3.Which statement is true about population increase?A.There might be an increase of 2.2 billion persons from now to the year 2000.B.About 50,000 babies
42、;are born every six hours at present.C.Between 8000 BC and the present, the population increase is about 80,000,000 persons each year.D.The population increased faster between
43、;8000BC and 1650 than between 1650 and the present.4.The author of the passage intends to_.A.warn people against the population explosion in the near future.B.compare the demo
44、graphic growth pattern in the past with that after 1650.C.find out the cause for rapid increase in population in recent years.D.present us a clear and complete picture
45、60;of the demographic growth.5.The word “demographic” in the first paragraph means_.A.statistics of human.B.surroundings study.C.accumulation of human.D.development of human.第12篇答案:ABADA 第13篇(Unit4 Passag
46、e1)Most of us are taught to pay attention to what is saidthe words. Words do provide us with some information, but meanings are derived from so many other sourc
47、es that it would hinder our effectiveness as a partner to a relationship to rely too heavily on words alone. Words are used to describe only a small part o
48、f the many ideas we associate with any given message. Sometimes we can gain insight into some of those associations if we listen for more than words. We dont
49、60;always say what we mean or mean what we say. Sometimes our words dont mean anything except “ Im letting off some steam. I dont really want you to pay
50、60;close attention to what Im saying. Just pay attention to what Im feeling.” Mostly we mean several things at once. A person wanting to purchase a house says t
51、o the current owner, “This step has to be fixed before Ill buy.” The owner says, “ Its been like that for years.” Actually, the step hasnt been like that
52、160;for years, but the unspoken message is: “ I dont want to fix it. We put up with it. Why cant you?” The search for a more expansive view of meaning
53、 can be developed of examining a message in terms of who said it, when it occurred, the related conditions or situation, and how it was said.When a message
54、;occurs can also reveal associated meaning. Let us assume two couples do exactly the same amount of kissing and arguing. But one couple always kisses after an argume
55、nt and the other couple always argues after a kiss. The ordering of the behaviors may mean a great deal more than the frequency of the behavior. A friends
56、unusually docile behavior may only be understood by noting that it was preceded by situations that required an abnormal amount of assertiveness. Some responses may be dir
57、ectly linked to a developing pattern of responses and defy logic. For example, a person who says “No!” to a serials of charges like “Youre dumb,” “Youre lazy,”
58、and “Youre dishonest,” may also say “No!” and try to justify his or her response if the next statement is “And youre good looking.”We would do well to listen
59、60;for how messages are presented. The words, “If sure has been nice to have you over,” can be said with emphasis and excitement or ritualistically. The phrase can
60、160;be said once or repeated several times. And the meanings we associate with the phrase will change accordingly. Sometimes if we say something infrequently it assumes m
61、ore importance; sometimes the more we say something the less importance it assumes.1.Effective communication is rendered possible between two conversing partners, if _.A.they use p
62、roper words to carry their ideas.B.they both speak truly of their own feelings.C.they try to understand each others ideas beyond words.D.they are capable of associating meanin
63、g with their words.2.“Im letting off some steam” in paragraph 1 means_.A.Im just calling your attention.B.Im just kidding.C.Im just saying the opposite.D.Im just giving off so
64、me sound.3.The house-owners example shows that he actually means_.A.the step has been like that for years.B.he doesnt think it necessary to fix the step.C.the condition of
65、0;the step is only a minor fault.D.the cost involved in the fixing should be shared.4.Some responses and behaviors may appear very illogical, but are justifiable if_.A.linked&
66、#160;to an abnormal amount of assertiveness.B.seen as ones habitual pattern of behavior.C.taken as part of an ordering sequence.D.expressed to a series of charges.5.The word “ritua
67、listically” in the last paragraph equals something done_.A.without true intention.B.light-heartedly.C.in a way of ceremony.D.with less emphasis.第13篇答案:DBABC 第14篇(Unit Four,Passage 2)Which is safer-staying&
68、#160;at home, traveling to work on public transport, or working in the office? Surprisingly, each of these carries the same risk, which is very low. However, what ab
69、out flying compared to working in the chemical industry? Unfortunately, the former is 65 times riskier than the latter! In fact, the accident rate of workers in the&
70、#160;chemical industry is less than that of almost any of human activity, and almost as safe as staying at home.The trouble with the chemical industry is that when
71、160;things go wrong they often cause death to those living nearby. It is this which makes chemical accidents so newsworthy. Fortunately, they are extremely rare. The most
72、 famous ones happened at Texas City (1947),Flixborough (1974), Seveso (1976), Pemex (1984) and Bhopal (1984).Some of these are always in the minds of the people even
73、;though the loss of life was small. No one died at Seveso, and only 28 workers at Flixborough. The worst accident of all was Bhopal, where up to 3,000 were
74、 killed. The Texas City explosion of fertilizer killed 552. The Pemex fire at a storage plant for natural gas in the suburbs of Mexico City took 542 lives,
75、;just a month before the unfortunate event at Bhopal.Some experts have discussed these accidents and used each accident to illustrate a particular danger. Thus the Texas
76、City explosion was caused by tons of ammonium nitrate(硝酸铵),which is safe unless stored in great quantity. The Flixborough fireball was the fault of management, which took
77、;risks to keep production going during essential repairs. The Seveso accident shows what happens if the local authorities lack knowledge of the danger on their doorstep.
78、When the poisonous gas drifted over the town, local leaders were incapable of taking effective action. The Pemex fire was made worse by an overloaded site in a
79、n overcrowded suburb. The fire set off a chain reaction os exploding storage tanks. Yet, by a miracle, the two largest tanks did not explode. Had these caught f
80、ire, then 3,000 strong rescue team and fire fighters would all have died.1.Which of the following statements is true? A.Working at the office is safer than staying&
81、#160;at home. B.Traverlling to work on public transport is safer than working at the office. C.Staying at home is safer than working in the chemical industry.
82、; D.Working in the chemical industry is safer than traveling by air.2.Chemical accidents are usually important enough to be reported as news because _. A.they are v
83、ery rare B.they often cause loss of life C.they always occur in big cities D.they arouse the interest of all the readers3.According to passage, the chemical&
84、#160;accident that caused by the fault of management happened at _. A.Texas city B.Flixborough C.Seveso D.Mexico City4.From the passage we know
85、60;that ammonium nitrate is a kind of _. A.natural gas, which can easily catch fire B.fertilizer, which can't be stored in a great quantity C.poisonous s
86、ubstance, which can't be used in overcrowded areas D.fuel, which is stored in large tanks5.From the discussion among some experts we may coclude that _. A.to
87、160;avoid any accidents we should not repair the facilities in chemical industry B.the local authorities should not be concerned with the production of the chemical indu
88、stry C.all these accidents could have been avoided or controlled if effective measure had been taken D.natural gas stored in very large tanks is always safe第
89、十四篇答案:DBABC 第十五篇(Unit 4,Passage 3)What we know of prenatal development makes all this attempt made by a mother to mold the character of her unborn child by studying poetr
90、y, art, or mathematics during pregnancy seem utterly impossible. How could such extremely complex influences pass from the mother to the child? There is no connection bet
91、ween their nervous systems. Even the blood vessels of mother and child do not join directly. An emotional shock to the mother will affect her child, because it
92、changes the activity of her glands and so the chemistry her blood. Any chemical change in the mothers blood will affect the child for better or worse. But we
93、60;can not see how a looking for mathematics or poetic genius can be dissolved in blood and produce a similar liking or genius in the child.In our discussion of
94、 instincts we saw that there was reason to believe that whatever we inherit must be of some very simple sort rather than any complicated or very definite kind
95、160;of behavior. It is certain that no one inherits a knowledge of mathematics. It may be, however, that children inherit more or less of a rather general ability
96、60;that we may call intelligence. If very intelligent children become deeply interested in mathematics, they will probably make a success of that study.As for musical ability,
97、 it may be that what is inherited is an especially sensitive ear, a peculiar structure of the hands or the vocal organs connections between nerves and muscles t
98、hat make it comparatively easy to learn the movements a musician must execute, and particularly vigorous emotions. If these factors are all organized around music, the ch
99、ild may become a musician. The same factors, in other circumstance might be organized about some other center of interest. The rich emotional equipment might find express
100、ion in poetry. The capable fingers might develop skill in surgery. It is not the knowledge of music that is inherited, then nor even the love of it, but a&
101、#160;certain bodily structure that makes it comparatively easy to acquire musical knowledge and skill. Whether that ability shall be directed toward music or some other undert
102、aking may be decided entirely by forces in the environment in which a child grows up.1. Which of the following statements is not true?A. Some mothers try to inf
103、luence their unborn children by studying art and other subjects during their pregnancy.B. It is utterly impossible for us to learn anything about prenatal development.C. The
104、160;blood vessels of mother and child do not join directly.D. There are no connection between mothers nervous systems and her unborn childs.2. A mother will affect her
105、60;unborn baby on the condition that _.A. she is emotionally shockedB. she has a good knowledge of inheritanceC. she takes part in all kind of activitiesD. she stick
106、s to studying3. According to the passage, a child may inherit_.A. everything from his motherB. a knowledge of mathematics C. a rather general ability that we call in
107、telligenceD. her mothers musical ability4. If a child inherits something from his mother, such as an especially sensitive ear, a peculiar structure of the hands or of the vocal organs, he will _.A. surely become musicianB. mostly become a poetC. possibly become a teacherD. become a m
