请阅读Passage 1,完成第小题。

So long as teachers fail to distinguish between teaching and learnin9,they will continue to undeaake to do for children that which only children can do for themselves.Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them.It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading.Douglas insists that reading cannot be taught directly and schools should stop trying to do the impossible.”

Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes.They differ in kind and function. The funetion of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate tllat will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read.Teaching is also a public activity:It can be seen and observed.

Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the word of printed language.Almost all of it is private,for learning is an occupation of the mind,and that process is not open to public scrutiny.If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable,what then can be done through teaching that will aid the child in the quest for knowledge? Smith has one principal rule for all instructions.“Make learning to read easy,which means and frequent experience for children. making reading a meaningful,teaching enjoyable

When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are,and when both teacher and learner fulfill them appropriately,then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is eliminated.Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of learning to read by reading.

The problem with the reading course as mentioned in the first paragraph is that__________. 查看材料

A.it is one of the most difficult school courses

B.students spend endless hours in reading

C.reading tasks are assigned with little guidance

D.too much time is spent on teaching about reading

请阅读Passage 1,完成第小题。

Passage 1

The British Medical Journal recently featured a strong response to what was judged an inappropriately lenient reaction by a medical school to a student cheating in an examination.

Although we have insufficient reliable data about the extent of this phenomenon, its prevention, or its effective management, much can be concluded and acted upon on the basis of common sense and concepts with face validity.

There is general agreement that there should be zero tolerance of cheating in a profession based on trust and one on which human lives depend. It is reasonable to assume that cheaters in medical school will be more likely than others to continue to act dishonestly with patients,colleagues, insurers, and government.

The behaviours under question are multifactorial in origin. There are familial, religious, and cultural values that are acquired long before medical school. For example, countries, cultures, and subcultures exist where bribes and dishonest behaviour are almost a norm. There are secondary schools in which neither staff nor students tolerate cheating and others where cheating is rampant;there are homes which imbue young people with high standards of ethical behaviour and others which leave ethical training to the harmful influence of television and the market place.

Medical schools reflect society and cannot be expected to remedy all the ills of a society. The selection process of medical students might be expected to favour candidates with integrity and positive ethical behaviour——if one had a reliable method for detecting such characteristics in advance. Medical schools should be the major focus of attention for imbuing future doctors with integrity and ethical sensitivity. Unfortunately there are troubling, if inconclusive, data that suggest that during medical school the ethical behaviour of medical students does not necessarily improve;indeed, moral development may actually stop or even regress.

The creation of a pervasive institutional culture of integrity is essential. It is critical that the academic and clinical leaders of the institution set a personal example of integrity. Medical schools must make their institutional position and their expectations of students absolutely clear from day one. The development of a school"s culture of integrity requires a partnership with the students in which they play an active role in its creation and nurturing. Moreover, the school"s examination system and general treatment of students must be perceived as fair. Finally, the treatment of infractions must be firm, fair, transparent, and consistent.

What does the author say about cheating in medical schools? 查看材料

A.Extensive research has been done about this phenomenon.

B.We have sufficient data to prove that prevention is feasible.

C.We are safe to conclude that this phenomenon exists on a grand scale.

D.Reliable data about the extent, prevention and management of the phenomenon is lacking.

请阅读Passage l。完成第21—25小题。

Passage 1

It"s one of our common beliefs that mice are afraid of cats. Scientists have long known that even if a mouse has never seen a cat before, it is still able to detect chemical signals released from it and run away in fear. This has always been thought to be something that is hard-wired into a mouse s brain.

But now Wendy Ingram, a graduate student at the University of California, Berkeley, has challenged this common sense. She has found a way to"cure" mice of their inborn fear of cats by infecting them with a parasite, reported the science journal Nature.

The parasite, called Toxoplasma gondii, might sound unfamiliar to you, but the shocking fact is that up to one-third of people around the world are infected by it. This parasite can cause different diseases among humans, especially pregnant women——it is linked to blindness and the death of unborn babies.

However, the parasite"s effects on mice are unique. Ingram and her team measured how mice reacted to a cat"s urine(尿) before and after it was infected by the parasite. They noted that normal mice stayed far away from the urine while mice that were infected with the parasite walked freely around the test area.

But that"s not all. The parasite was found to be more powerful than originally thought—even after researchers cured the mice of the infection. They no longer reacted with fear to a cat"s smell,which could indicate that the infection has caused a permanent change in mice"s brains.

Why does a parasite change a mouse"s brain instead of making it sick like it does to humans?

The answer lies in evolution.

"It"s exciting scary to know how a parasite can manipulate a mouse"s brain this way," Ingram said. But she also finds it inspiring."Typically if you have a bacterial infection, you go to a doctor and take antibiotics and the infection is cleared and you expect all the symptoms to also go away."

She said, but this study has proven that wrong."This may have huge implications for infectious disease medicine."

The passage is mainly about__________. 查看材料

A.mice" s inborn terror of cats

B.the evolution of Toxoplasma

C.a new study about the effects of a parasite on mice

D.a harmful parasite called Toxoplasma gondii

请阅读Passage 2。完成第26-30小题。

Passage 2

Reality television is a genre of television programming which, it is claimed, presents unscripted dramatic or humorous situations, documents actual events, and features ordinary people rather than professional actors. It could be described as a form. of artificial or "heightened"documentary. Although the genre has existed in some form. or another since the early years of television, the current explosion of popularity dates from around 2000.

Reality television covers a wide range of television programming formats, from game or quiz shows which resemble the frantic, often demeaning programmes produced in Japan in the 1980s and 1990s (a modern example is Gaki No Tsukai), to surveillance-or voyeurism-focused productions such as Big Brother.

Critics say that the term "reality television" is somewhat of a misnomer and that such shows frequently portray a modified and highly influenced form. of reality, with participants put in exotic locations or abnormal situations, sometimes coached to act in certain ways by off-screen handlers,and with events on screen manipulated through editing and other post-production techniques.

Part of reality television"s appeal is due to its ability to place ordinary people in extraordinary situations. For example, on the ABC show, The Bachelor, an eligible male dates a dozen women simultaneously, travelling on extraordinary" dates to scenic locales. Reality television also has the potential to turn its participants into national celebrities, outwardly in talent and performance programs such as Pop Idol, though frequently Survivor and Big Brother participants also reach some degree of celebrity.

Some commentators have said that the name "reality television" is an inaccurate description for several styles of program included in the genre. In competition-based programs such as Big Brother and Survivor, and other special-living-environment shows like The Real World, the producers design the format of the show and control the day-to-day activities and the environment,creating a completely fabricated world in which the competition plays out. Producers specifically select the participants, and use carefully designed scenarios, challenges, events, and settings to encourage particular behaviours and conflicts. Mark Burnett, creator of Survivor and other reality shows, has agreed with this assessment, and avoids the word "reality" to describe his shows; he has said, "I tell good stories. It really is not reality TV. It really is unscripted drama."

In the first line, the writer says "it is claimed" because__________. 查看材料

A.they agree with the statement

B.everyone agrees with the statement

C.no one agrees with the statement

D.they want to distance themselves from the statement

请阅读Passage l。完成第小题。

Teaching children to read well from the start is the most important task of elementary schools. But relying on educators to approach this task correctly can be a great mistake. Many schools continue to employ instructional methods that have been proven ineffective. The staying power of the "look-say" or "whole-word" method of teaching beginning reading is perhaps the most flagrant example of this failure to instruct effectively.

The whole-word approach to reading stresses the meaning of words over the meaning of letters, thinking over decoding, developing a sight vocabulary of familiar words over developing the ability to unlock the pronunciation of unfamiliar words. It fits in with the self-directed,"learning how to learn" activities recommended by advocates of "open" classrooms and with the concept that children have to be developmentally ready to begin reading. Before 1963, no major publisher put out anything but these "Run-Spot-Run" readers.

However, in 1955, Rudolf Flesch touched off what has been called "the great debate" in beginning reading. In his best-seller Why Johnny Can"t Read, Flesch indicted the nation"s public schools for miseducating students by using the look-say method. He said——and more scholarly studies by Jeane Chall and Rovert Dykstra later confirmed——that another approach to beginning reading, founded on phonics, is far superior.

Systematic phonics first teaches children to associate letters and letter combinations with

sounds; it then teaches them how to blend these sounds together to make words. Rather than building up a relatively limited vocabulary of memorized words, it imparts a code by which the pronunciations of the vast majority of the most common words in the English language can be learned. Phonics does not devalue the importance of thinking about the meaning of words and sentences; it simply recognizes that decoding is the logical and necessary first step.

The author feels that counting on educators to teach reading correctly is_________. 查看材料

A. only logical and natural

B. the expected position

C. probably a mistake

D. merely effective instruction

请阅读Passage 2,完成第小题。

Millions of Americans lie awake at night counting sheep, or have a stiff drink or pop an allergy pill, hoping it will make them drowsy. But experts agree all that seff-medicating is a bad idea, and the causes of chronic insomnia remain mysterious.

Almost a third of adults have trouble sleeping, and about 10 percent have symptoms of daytime impairment that signal true insomnia. Sufferers readily cite the resulting problems: walking around in a fog, as memory and cognitive functions becoming slow. Dozing off at the wheel or at work. Depression. Lack of energy. But for all the complaints, scientists know surprisingly little about what causes chronic insomnia, its health consequences and how best to treat it, a panel of specialists brought together by the National Institutes of Health concluded Wednesday.

Two things are clear, the panel found: Chronic insomnia is a major public health problem. And too many people are using unproven therapies, even while there are a few treatments that do work.

Among the panel"s findings: Cognitive / behavioral therapy——a psychology-based treatment that trains people to reduce anxiety and take other sleep-promoting steps——is very effective, and doesn"t cause side effects. But it can be hard to find health providers trained in the techniques. Insomniacs should check with board-certified sleep specialists and psychologists.

Newer prescription sleep pills called Sonata, Ambien and Lunesta work without many of the side-effect concerns of older agents known as benzodiazepines (苯二氧类镇静药). One study of Lunesta showed effectiveness with six months of use, but more research on long-term use of all three is needed, as chronic insomnia can linger for years.

The most commonly used treatments are alcohol and over-the-counter sedating antihistamines(抗组胺剂 ) like Benadryl. Alcohol use actually disrupts quality sleep, and antihistamines can cause lingering daytime sedation and other cognitive problems.

The most common prescription insomnia medicine is an older, sedating antidepressant called trazodone, even though there"s no good evidence that it offers more than a two-week benefit, and it comes with side effects.

One of the most effective ways to deal with choric insomnia is_________. 查看材料

A. to have a stiff drink

B. to pop an allergy pill

C. to sleep and get up early

D. cognitive / behavioral therapy

请阅读Passage l。完成第21~25小题。

Passage 1

They came to the United States as children with little idea, if any, of what it meant to overstay a visa. They enrolled in public schools, learned English, earned high school diplomas. Like many of their classmates, they pondered college choices. But as undocumented immigrants in Maryland, they then had to confront the reality that they must pay two to three times what former high school classmates pay to attend the state"s public colleges. It is a rule that, for many students of modest means, puts a college education out of reach, with one exception : Montgomery College.

That is why Josue Aguiluz, 21, born in Honduras, and Ricardo Campos, 23, born in E1 Salvador——and numerous others like them——landed at the community college. There, they study and wait for a verdict from Maryland voters on a Nov. 6 ballot measure that may determine whether they can afford to advance to a four-year college.

"I know people in Maryland believe in education," Campos said the other day at the student center on the Rockville campus. "I know they are going to vote for Question 4. I"m hanging on their vote."

Question 4 asks voters to affirm or strike down a law that the legislature passed last year,known as Maryland"s version of the "Dream Act," which granted certain undocumented immigrants the ability to obtain in-state tuition at public colleges and universities. The subsidy comes with conditions. Among them: To take advantage, students must first go to a two-year community college.

The law was pushed to a referendum after opponents mounted a lightning petition drive that showed the depth of division over illegal immigration across the state and the nation. Critics say discounting tuition for students who lack permission to be in the country is an unjustified giveaway of what they believe will amount to tens of millions of tax dollars a year.

"When an undocumented student enters the system, it is a net loss of revenue," said Del.

Patrick L. McDonough. "It is a simple mathematical argument. Put your emotion and your passion aside, and get out your calculator."

There is no count of the number of students statewide who would be eligible for benefits under the law. Estimates range from several hundred to a few thousand.

A Washington Post poll this month found that a solid majority of likely voters favored the law:

59 percent support it, and 35 percent are opposed. If the law is affirmed, Maryland would join about a dozen other states with laws or policies providing in-state tuition benefits to undocumented immigrants. Texas became the first in 2001.

Experts say Maryland"s version is the only one that requires students to go through community college first. That means the state"s 16 community colleges could become a pipeline for undocumented students in public higher education if the measure is approved.

Montgomery College is already a magnet for such students. It offers the same low tuition to any student who graduated within the past three years from a Montgomery County high school.

What reality did the undocumented immigrants in Maryland have to confront? 查看材料

A.It is impossible for them to get college education.

B.They cannot afford to study in Montgomery College.

C.They must pay more tuition than their peers to get high school diplomas.

D.They must pay more tuition than their peers at the state"s public colleges.

请阅读Passage l。完成第小题。

Every year, the Nobel Prize is given to outstanding work in six fields: physics, chemistry, medicine, literature, economics, and work in peace. These prizes are named after Alfred Nobel, who asked for the Nobel Foundation to be made in his will. He was an inventor and businessman.

Nobel was born in Stockholm, Sweden in 1883. His father, Immanuel Nobel has periods of success in building bridges and periods of not making any money. Immanuel sent Alfred to study chemistry in Paris. Alfred met Ascanio Sobrero, who found the liquid nitroglycerine, a liquid that explodes very easily. Alfred thought about making use of nitroglycerine in the construction of bridges and tunnels. An accident happened during the experiment with the liquid, causing an explosion, which killed and injured several people, including his brother. He continued looking for ways to make this liquid not explode so easily.

Nobel was successful in finding a safe way to store the liquid and in 1864 began producing huge amounts of it. He found that mixing it with kind of sand would turn the liquid into a paste. He then wanted to shape the paste into rods that would make it easy to blow up rock when building a tunnel. In 1867, he patented the material as dynamite. This patent greatly reduced the costs of blasting rock and drilling tunnels. As a businessman, Nobel set up laboratories that made dynamite in 90 locations in more than 20 countries. Although dynamite was useful in construction, many people used it as a weapon in war.

At age 43, the wealthy and lonely businessman put an ad in the newspaper for a secretary though he was really looking for a wife. Bertha Kinsky worked as his secretary for a short time, but married another man and became Bertha von Suttner. Bertha and Alfred remained friends and wrote letters many years later. She most likely influenced him to strive for peace. She published a novel Lay Down Your Arms! in 1859 and became a leading figure in the peace movement. For these reasons, she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1905.

Alfred Nobel‘s family 查看材料

A. designed buildings that could survive explosions

B. continued to aid Ascanio Sobrero in his researches

C. was constantly successful in whatever enterprise they took on

D. had times in which they struggles for money and earned a lot of money

请阅读Passage 2,完成第小题。

Global warming may or not be the great environmental crisis of the 21st century, but regardless of whether it is or not, we won"t do much about it. We will argue over it and may even, as a nation, make some fairly solemn-sounding commitments to avoid it. But the more dramatic and meaningful these commitments seem, the less likely they are to be observed.

A1 Gore calls global warming an "inconvenient truth", as if merely recognizing it could put us on a path to a solution. But the real truth is that we don"t know enough to believe global wanning, and——without major technological breakthroughs——we can"t do much about it.

From 2003 to 2050, the world"s population is projected to grow from 6.4 billion to 9.1 billion, a 42% increase. If energy use per person and technology remain the same, total energy use and greenhouse gas emissions (mainly, CO2) will be 42% higher in 2050. But that"s too low, because societies that grow richer use more energy. We need economic growth unless we condemn the world"s poor to their present poverty and freeze everyone else"s living standards. With modest growth, energy use and greenhouse emissions will more than double by 2050.

No government will adopt rigid restrictions on economic growth and personal freedom (limits on electricity usage, driving and travel) that might cut back global warming. Still, politicians want to show they"re "doing something". Consider the Kyoto Protocol. It allowed countries that joined to punish those that didn"t. But it hasn"t reduced CO2 emissions (up about 25% since 1990), and many signatories didn"t adopt tough enough policies to hit their 2008-2012 targets.

The practical conclusion is that if global warming is a potential disaster, the only solution is new technology. Only an aggressive research and development program might find ways of breaking our dependence on fossil fuels or dealing with it.

The trouble with the global warming debate is that it has become a moral problem when it"s really an engineering one. The inconvenient truth is that if we don"t solve the engineering problem, we" re helpless.

What is said about global warming in the first paragraph? 查看材料

A. It may not prove an environmental crisis at all.

B. It is an issue requiring worldwide commitments.

C. Serious steps have been taken to avoid or stop it.

D. Very little will be done to bring it under control.

请阅读Passage 2。完成第小题。 The relationship between formal education and economic growth

请阅读Passage 2。完成第小题。

The relationship between formal education and economic growth in poor countries is widely misunderstood by economists and politicians alike. Progress in both area is undoubtedly necessary for the social, political and intellectual development of these and all other societies; however, the conventional view that education should be one of the very highest priorities for promoting rapid economic development in poor countries is wrong. We are fortunate that is it, because new educational systems there and putting enough people through them to improve economic performance would require two or three generations. The findings of a research institution have consistently shown that workers in all countries can be trained on the job to achieve radical higher productivity and, as a result, radically higher standards of living.

Ironically, the first evidence for this idea appeared in the United States. Not long ago, with the country entering a recessing and Japan at its pre-bubble peak, the U.S. workforce was derided as poorly educated and one primary cause of the poor U.S. economic performance. Japan was, and remains, the global leader in automotive-assembly productivity. Yet the research revealed that the U.S. factories of Honda, Nissan, and Toyota achieved about 95 percent of the productivity of their Japanese counterparts——a result of the training that U.S. workers received on the job.

What is the real relationship between education and economic development? We have to suspect that continuing economic growth promotes the development of education even when governments don"t force it. After all, that"s how education got started. When our ancestors were hunters and gatherers 10,000 years ago, they didn"t have time to wonder much about anything besides finding food. Only when humanity began to get its food in a more productive way was there time for other things.

As education improved, humanity"s productivity potential increased as well. When the competitive environment pushed our ancestors to achieve that potential, they could in turn afford more education. This increasingly high level of education is probably a necessary, but not a sufficient, condition for the complex political systems required by advanced economic performance.

Thus poor countries might not be able to escape their poverty traps without political changes that may be possible only with broader formal education. A lack of formal education, however, doesn"t constrain the ability of the developing world"s workforce to substantially improve productivity for the foreseeable future. On the contrary, constraints on improving productivity explain why education isn"t developing more quickly there than it is.

The author holds in Paragraph I that the importance of education in poor countries_________. 查看材料

A. is subject to groundless doubts

B. has fallen victim to bias

C. is conventionally downgraded

D. has been overestimated
