考题 ABefore, I thought that a man who was wise and good would become rich, but now I know this is not always true. I learned it from my teacher. He is both wise and good, but he is not rich at all. He may become rich if he gives up(放弃) teaching and goes into business. But he likes his job and thinks it,s wonderful to help young people. He stays at school from morning till night and works very hard. He always smiles at us when we go to ask him for help. He is kinder to us than any other teacher in our school. I think it must be easier to learn history or math than to learn how to become a man like him. He scolds(责备 ) us when we do something wrong,but it makes us try to do better.We all wish to study with him as long as possible. But that may be impossible. Some of us may become doctors, some become businessmen, some be- come engineers, some become writers, but we all want one thing very much. It is that we all want to be teachers in the future.( )21. The writer thinks his teacher is_________.A. wise and goodB. wise and richC. good and rich

考题 根据下列材料请回答 51~55 题:BScience is a dominant theme in our culture. Since it touches almost every facet of our life, educated people need at least some acquaintance with its structure and operation. They should also have an understanding of the subculture in which scientists live and the kinds of people they are. An understanding of general characteristics of science as well as specific scientific concepts is easier to attain if one knows something about the things that excite and frustrate the scientist.This book is written for the intelligent student or lay person whose acquaintance with science is superficial ; for the person who has been presented with science as a musty storehouse of dried facts ; for the person who sees the chief objective of science as the production of gadgets ; and for the person who views the scientist as some sort of magician. The book can be used to supplement a course in any science, to accompany any course that attempts to give an understanding of the modern world, or--independent of any course--simply to provide a better understanding of science. We hope this book will lead readers to a broader perspective on scientific attitudes and a more realistic view of what science is, who scientists are, and what they do. It will give them an awareness and understanding of the relationship between science and our culture and an appreciation of the roles science may play in our culture. In addition, readers may learn to appreciate the relationship between scientific views and some of the values and philosophies that are pervasive in our culture.We have tried to present in this book an accurate and up-to-date picture of the scientific community and the people who populate it. That population has in recent years come to comprise more and more women. This increasing role of women in the scientific subculture is not an unique incident but , rather, part of the trend evident in all segments of society as more women enter traditionally male-dominated fields and make significant contributions. In discussing these changes and contributions, however, we are faced with a language that is implicitly sexist, one that uses male nouns or pronouns in referring to unspecified individuals. To offset this built-in bias, we have adopted the policy of using plural nouns and pronouns whenever possible and, when absolutely necessary, alternating he and she . This policy is far from being ideal, but it is at least an acknowledgment of the inadequacy of our language in treating half of the human race equally.We have also tried to make the book entertaining as well as informative. Our approach is usually informal. We feel, as do many other scientists, that we shouldn’t take ourselves too seriously. As the reader may observe, we see science as a delightful pastime rather than as a grim and dreary way to earn a living.第 51 题 According to the passage, "scientific subculture" means_________.A. cultural groups that are formed by scientistsB. people whose knowledge of science is very limitedC. the scientific communityD. people who make good contributions to science

考题 What, then, is a good education at the end of the twentieth century? Some educators suggest that it should include foreign languages and the study of foreign cultures;a mastery of English, including the ability to write and speak well, because communications have become all-important in the modern world. and also because “a person who doesn't speak and write Clearly doesn't reason clearly either” ; some knowledge of the social sciences(sociology, psychology)that deal with human relations and human problems;some basic knowledge of modem information systems, since the educated professionals of tomorrow will have to understand their machines. Is that all? “No, of course not. ”answer the educators, “We have not mentioned the two great building blocks of education:history and literature!”Is this truly the best modern education? Perhaps. But every educator would add or subtract a few subjects. And no matter what list of courses would be offered, it would not be approved by all. Not only do the professors have their own ideas on the matter, but the students have theirs' too. “I don't believe, ”protested a Harvard student when his university revised its programs, “I don't believe that colleges have the fight to define what an educated person is. ”But then, who has?

考题 请阅读短文,完成此题。 What should you think about in trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. Knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs. Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metal work or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills. If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in apart-time job. Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is bitter to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work. The writer thinks that for a student to have a part-time job is probably__________. 查看材料 A.a waste of time that could have been spent on study B.useful for his future work C.a good way to earn extra money D.a good way to find out his weak points

考题 Passage Two Generationsof Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is essentialto one′s life.Eating breakfast at the start of the day,we have been told,and told again,is as necessary asputting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip.But for many people,the thought of food as the first thing in the morning is never a pleasure Sodespite all the efforts,they still take no breakfast. Between 1977 and 1983,the latest year for which figures could beobtained,the number of people who didn′t have breakfast increased by 33%from8.8 million to 11.7 million--according to the Chicago-based Market ResearchCorporation of America.For those who dislike eating breakfast,however,thereis some good news. Several studies in the last few years have shown that,for adults especially,there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast."Going without breakfast does not affect work,"said Arnold E.Bender,former professor of nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London,"nor does giving people breakfast improve work."Scientific evidence linkingbreakfast to better health or better work is surprisingly inadequate(不充分),and most of the recent work involves children,not adults."The literature,"says one researcher,Dr.Earnest Polite at theUniversity of Texas,"is poor." Which of the following statements bestsummarizes the writer′s conclusion about the function of breakfast?A.Omitting breakfast helps improve work. B.Eating breakfast is absolutelynecessary. C.Scientists have produced sufficientevidence in support of breakfast. D.There isn't strong evidence to provethat breakfast?is a must.

考题 共用题干 第二篇Approaches to Understanding IntelligencesIt pays to be smart,but we are not all smart in the same way.You may be a talented musician,but you might not be a good reader.Each of us is different.Psychologists disagree about what is intelligence and what are talents or personal abilities.Psychologists have two different views on intelligence.Some believe there is one general intelligence.Others believe there are many different intelligences.Some psychologists say there is one type of intelligence that can be measured with IQ tests.These psychologists support their view with research that concludes that people who do well on one kind of test for mental ability do well on other tests.They do well on tests using words,numbers,or pictures.They do well on individual or group tests,and written or oral tests.Those who do poorly on one test,do the same on all tests.Studies of the brain show that there is a biological basis for general intelligence.The brains of intelligent people use less energy during problem solving.The brain waves of people with higher intelligence show a quicker reaction.Some researchers conclude that differences in intelligence result from differences in the speed and effectiveness of information processing by the brain.Howard Gardner,a psychologist at the Harvard School of Education,has four children.He believes that all children are different and shouldn't be tested by one intelligence test.Although Gardner believes general intelligence exists,he doesn't think it tells much about the talents of a person outside of formal schooling.He thinks that the human mind has different intelligences.These intelligences allow us to solve the kinds of problems we are presented with in life.Each of us has different abilities within these intelligences.Gardner believes that the purpose of school should be to encourage development of all of our intelligences.Gardner says that his theory is based on biology.For example,when one part of the brain is injured, other parts of the brain still work.People who cannot talk because of brain damage can still sing.So,there is not just one intelligence to lose.Gardner has identified 8 different kinds of intelligence:linguistic, mathematical, spatial, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal,body-kinesthetic (身体动觉的), and naturalistic.Which of the following statements is true concerning general intelligence?A:People doing well on one type of intelligence test do well on other tests.B:Most intelligent people do well on some intelligence tests.C:Intelligent people do not do well on group tests.D:Intelligent people do better on written tests than on oral tests.
