The Internet has been found a new usage. Increasingly, more and more Americans are having a(n) 26 to become their own doctors by going online to order home health tests or medical devices, or even self-treat their illnesses with drugs from Internet pharmacies (药店). Some people 27 doctors because of the high cost of medical care, especially if they 28 health insurance (保险). Or they may 29 to see a doctor because they find it embarrassing (令人发窘的) to discuss their weight, their assumption of alcohol (酗酒) or couch potato habits and so on. Patients may also fear what they might learn about their health, or they distrust doctors because of terrible 30 in the past. But to become their own doctors can be 31 .
Every day, more than six million Americans search the Internet for medical answers. Most of them almost have no 32 about what they find. In 2002, a survey by the Pew Internet & American Life Project found that 72 percent of those surveyed believe all or most of what they read on health websites. Actually, most of such web sites are only interested in doing 33 business. Of the l69 websites the researchers studied, only l6 are regarded as “high quality”. Recent studies found untrue facts about all sorts of other disorders, causing one research team to 34 that a large amount of inaccurate and even dangerous information is found to happen on the Internet.
The problem is that most people don’t know the safe way to surf the Web. “They use a search engine like Google, get l8 trillion choices and start clicking. But that’s risky, because almost anybody can put up a site that looks 35 , so it’s hard to know whether what you’re reading is reasonable or not,” says Dr. Sarah Bass from the National Cancer Institute.
III. Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
There is a common belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in spelling. But this is not quite true. 36 , all the schools which I have taught in, spelling have been considered as a basic skill. There are, however, quite different ideas about how to teach it, or how to 37 students’ general language development and their writing ability. The problem is how to encourage a child to express himself 38 in writing without holding him back with spelling.
If spelling becomes the only point of his teacher’s 39 , clearly a bright child will be likely to “play safe”. That is to say, he will write only words which he can 40 correctly. That’s why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to the content (内容) rather than technical abilities.
I was once shocked to read a sensitive piece of 41 about a personal experience. “This composition is terrible! There are far too many spelling mistakes.” A teacher who said this might be 42 the pupil’s technical abilities in writing, but it was also a sad thing for the teacher who had not noticed the content of the composition, which 43 some beautiful expressions of the child’s deep feelings. The teacher was not wrong to pay attention to the 44 , but if the teacher mainly focuses on the child’s ideas, an expression of the above 45 with the composition will give the pupil more hope to make improvement.
36. A. Unfortunately B. Strangely C. Actually D. Surprisingly
37. A. balance B. discover C. know D. use
38. A. correctly B. carefully C. slowly D. freely
39. A. skill B. interest C. knowledge D. ability
40. A. spell B. recognize C. read D. say
41. A. sentence B. news C. composition D. language
42. A. amused at B. familiar to C. happy with D. unsatisfied with
43. A. developed B. contained C. overused D. copied
44. A. mistakes B. experience C. improvement D. expressions
45. A. encouragement B. belief C. comparison D. disappointment
Section B
Directions: Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read
.(A)
Dear Parents,
As we start the second half of the spring term, I thought it important to update you on some key developments.
Post - 16 Collaboration (合作)
We have entered into an exciting new collaboration with Bassaleg Comprehension School, Duffryn High School, St Joseph’s High School, and Coleg Gwent — the Newport West Post - 16 Partnership (共同体). We will be working together to deliver nearly 40 different courses at these schools, students from other schools will study some subjects here. Information about the courses available to students can be found on the website www. newftartwest. corn. uk.
Uniform
I would take this opportunity to remind all parents that students are not permitted to wear non-school uniform cardigans in Newport High School. It is the responsibility of parents to make sure your son or daughter wears the correct uniform to school. This includes completely black shoes. Over the next half term we will be working with students to develop a cardigan with the school logo (图标) which will provide a choice to the current school jacket.

(B)
I got up and dressed, stuck my violin under my jacket, and went out into the street. I wandered about for an hour, looking for a likely place, feeling as if I were about to commit a crime (犯罪). Then I stopped at last under a bridge near the station and decided to have a go.
I felt tense and shaking. I drew my violin from under my coat like a gun. It was here, in Southampton, with trains passing overhead, that I was about to prove myself.
The first notes (音符) I played were loud and raw, and then they settled down and began to run more smoothly and to stay more or less in tune. To my surprise I was neither arrested nor told to shut up. Indeed, nobody took any notice at all.
I walked the streets of Southampton for several days, gradually knowing how to try and get money by being a street artist. It was not a good thing, for instance, to let the hat fill up with money — the sight could discourage the people; nor was it wise to empty it completely, which could also confuse them, giving them no hint as to where to drop his money. Placing a couple of pennies (便士) in the hat to start the thing going soon became a good idea. Before I played another tune (曲子), I took off the big money, but always left two pennies behind.
Old ladies were most generous, and so were women with children, shop girls, and typists. As for the men: Heavy drinkers were always generous too and so were big young with muscles. But never a man with a hat, briefcase or dog; respectable types were the meanest (最吝啬的) of all, except retired army officers, who would bark “Why aren’t you working, young man ” and then threw much money into the hat to hide their confusion.
49. The phrase “have a go” (in Paragraph 1) probably means ________.
A. have a try B. run away C. change a place D. commit a crime
50. When the writer began to play the violin, he thought that ________.
A. he could make a lot of money B. he had chosen the wrong place
C. he would get into trouble D. people would stop and listen to him
51. According to the passage, the writer thought the best way of encouraging people to give a street-violinist money was to ________.
A. let the hat fill up with money first
B. leave a small amount of money in the hat
C. make sure that the hat was always empty
D. choose the best place to play more smooth tunes
52. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage
A. Most of the ladies were willing to give him money.
B. Retired army officers seldom gave him money.
C. Drinkers were generous with their money.
D. Not all the people would feel pity for street-violinists.
(C)
Most parents and teachers would get angry when they hear that teenagers listen to their iPods while preparing for exams. But pupils who listen to music when doing their homework may be, in fact, working hard.
Thirsty three schools have downloaded specially written pop and rock songs for their 10,000 pupils who are studying for GCSE (初级毕业证书). The professionally recorded music, based on texts in English literature, teaches teenagers about themes in the GCSE curriculum (课程). Two young men set up “Revise”, the company that produced the songs, and worked with teachers to make sure the lyrics (歌词) reflected the curriculum. Some of the songs were written by Geraint Brown, a director, and they are performed by professional singers and musicians.
Songs for the GCSE science and maths lessons are also being developed in 36 schools. They have also started using the program, called, “LearnThruMusic”.
Dave Matthews, the head of Hawthorn High School in the South Wales valleys, said the program aimed at helping teenagers who are unwilling to study. He said, “There are lots of pupils who don’t have a high level of home support. It’s almost cool to say you have no need to find a support and we have got to change that. With this, they don’t have to be sitting at their desk at home. They can be outside, walking around or even listening to it on the bus, which is very convenient for them.” Everyone has a phone, MP3 or CD player, and they’re more likely to listen to these than pick up a book. “I think everyone would agree that music had an important influence on us when growing up. Both boys and girls are very good at remembering the words and dancing to the music in the charts. There’s no one thing that will successfully engage (使…产生兴趣) every child, and some of them will make little or no use of this. But the fact that they don’t have to do any extra work makes this a very good deal for a kid,” Dave Matthews added.
53. The pop and rock songs used in 36 schools ________.
A. were written for the students to relax themselves
B. made most parents and teachers angry
C. were specially written for hardworking students
D. were closely related to the curriculum
54. Which benefit of the program is NOT mentioned in the passage
A. It saves students much extra work. B. It offers different ways of learning.
C. It makes remembering easier. D. It improves family support to kids.
55. Which of the following can be inferred in the passage
A. The program is not expected to have equal effect on every student.
B. Some students used the song as an excuse for not reading textbooks.
C. It’s more difficult to create songs for science and maths lessons.
D. Students involved in the program needn’t go to school every day.
56. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage
A. Special-written Songs — A Reason Why Students Should Listen to IPods.
B. Special-written Songs — A New Way to Learn the Curriculum.
C. Special-written Songs — A Substitution for Textbooks.
D. Special-written Songs — Mothers’ New Concern.
Section C
Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.
For most of my 15 years, my father talked very little to my mother and me. He would rather read the newspaper or watch football matches on television.
Everything changed one morning. As soon as I came downstairs to breakfast, I could see that he wasn’t his usual reserved (沉默的) self. “Can’t wait! FIFA World Cup! Big match! Must see!” I quickly figured out what all the excitement was about: Dad is a big football fan.
Dad decided that we should all eat at a little German restaurant so that we could watch the exciting football match between his favorite teams while they are eating delicious food. Secretly, I think he was hoping to turn Mum and me into football fans.
Dad explained almost everything to me during the match. His short answers were a thing of the past. I loved the new Dad! I watched the rest of the match, becoming more and more interested. When I told my father that I planned to watch more matches with him, he smiled and gave me a wink (眨眼). At long last we had something in common.
Football has changed both my father and me. We understood each other better and our relationship has never been stronger than before. Who says football is only about 22 men running after a silly ball
(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statement in NO MORE THAN 10 WORDS.)
57. For years, the writer’s father would read the newspaper or watch football matches on television instead of _________________.
58. Why did the father decide to eat at a little German restaurant
59. By saying “we had something in common”, the writer meant that ______________.
60. What benefits has football brought to the writer and his father
IV. Reading Comprehension (II)
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
In bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the child’s acquisition (学会) of each new skill—the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his 61 learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child. This might happen at any 62 : a baby might be forced to use a toilet too early; a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. 63 , though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural 64 for life and his desire to find out new things for himself.
Parents vary greatly in their 65 of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters, while others are severe over times of coming home at night or punctuality for meals. In general, the 66 represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child’s own happiness.
As regards to the development of 67 standards in the growing child, consistency (一致性) is very important in parental teaching. To 68 a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality (道德). Also, parents should realize that “ 69 is better than instruction”. If they are not sincere and do not 70 what they preach (说教), their children may grow 71 and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled. A sudden 72 of a marked difference between their parents’ principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment.
61. A. worthy B. natural C. fast D. reliable
62. A. family B. event C. stage D. situation
63. A. For example B. In short C. To sum up D. On the other hand
64. A. qualification B. knowledge C. enthusiasm D. technique
65. A. degree B. knowledge C. strategy D. expectation
66. A. instructions B. controls C. principles D. emotions
67. A. living B. examination C. academic D. moral
68. A. teach B. encourage C. forbid D. refuse
69. A. persuasion B. example C. assistance D. description
70. A. practice B. understand C. appreciate D. explain
71. A. bored B. embarrassed C. confused D. depressed
72. A. awareness B. action C. direction D. illustration
Section B
Directions: Read the following passage. The passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
University educators largely think highly of the wonders of teaching through technology, but skeptics (怀疑论者) question whether something is lost when professors and lectures rely too heavily on electronic media or when interaction with students takes place remotely — in cyberspace rather than the real space of the classroom. Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht, the Professor of Literature at Stanford University, is one such skeptic. “I think this enthusiastic and sometimes childish and blind pushing toward the more technology the better, the more websites the better teacher, and so forth, is very dangerous — is, indeed, suicidal (自杀性的),” he indicates.
However, Gumbrecht warns that there are few, if any, studies either supporting or rejecting the hypothesis (假设) that traditional ways of teaching are superior to teaching via the Internet. He says that he could point only to his “intuition (直觉) that real classroom presence should be maintained,” and emphasizes the need for educators to examine critically where technology serves a useful pedagogical (教学法的) function and where it does not.
Yet, Gumbrecht allows that, for courses in which knowledge transmission (传播) is the sole purpose, electronic media probably can do the job well enough. Indeed, given the 20th century’s knowledge explosion and the increasing costs of higher education, using technology as opposed to real-life teachers for the transmission of information is probably inevitable, he admits. In any case, knowledge transmission should not be the core (核心的) function of the university, he maintains, noting that universities should be places where people confront (面对) open questions, places for “intellectual complexity” and “riskful thinking”.
“We are not about finding or transmitting solutions; we are not about recipes; we are not about making intellectual life easy. Confrontation with complexity is what expands your mind. It is something like intellectual gymnastics. And this is what makes you a suitable member of the society.”
Moreover, discussions in the physical presence of others can lead to the intellectual innovation. “There’s a qualitative change (质变), and you don’t know how it happens. Discussions in the physical presence have the capacity of being the catalyst (催化剂) for such intellectual breakthroughs. The possibility of in-classroom teaching — of letting something happen which cannot happen if you teach by the transmission of information — is a strength.”
73. Which of the following is the best title to this passage
A. Cyberspace Interaction
B. The Core Function of the University
C. Information Transmission Cannot Help You Survive
D. Electronic Teaching Arouses Uncertainty
74. Which of the following might Professor Gumbercht support
A. Professors should be keen on teaching technique innovation.
B. Technologies applied to classrooms strength creative thinking.
C. Traditional pedagogical function has its place in classroom.
D. The core function of the university is to focus on knowledge transmitting.
75. Cyberspace teaching could replace real-life teachers EXCEPT when ________.
A. transmitting knowledge is the only purpose of the course
B. there’s too much knowledge to put across to the students
C. the cost of college education increases greatly
D. open questions without possible answers are encouraged
76. According to the passage, discussion in the physical presence of others can ________.
A. lead to greatly improved intellectual abilities
B. lead to easier and stronger transmission of information
C. produce certain energy for intellectual breakthroughs
D. produce qualitative change in teacher-students relationships

The Internet has been found a new usage. Increasingly, more and more Americans are having a(n) 26 to become their own doctors by going online to order home health tests or medical devices, or even self-treat their illnesses with drugs from Internet pharmacies (药店). Some people 27 doctors because of the high cost of medical care, especially if they 28 health insurance (保险). Or they may 29 to see a doctor because they find it embarrassing (令人发窘的) to discuss their weight, their assumption of alcohol (酗酒) or couch potato habits and so on. Patients may also fear what they might learn about their health, or they distrust doctors because of terrible 30 in the past. But to become their own doctors can be 31 .
Every day, more than six million Americans search the Internet for medical answers. Most of them almost have no 32 about what they find. In 2002, a survey by the Pew Internet & American Life Project found that 72 percent of those surveyed believe all or most of what they read on health websites. Actually, most of such web sites are only interested in doing 33 business. Of the l69 websites the researchers studied, only l6 are regarded as “high quality”. Recent studies found untrue facts about all sorts of other disorders, causing one research team to 34 that a large amount of inaccurate and even dangerous information is found to happen on the Internet.
The problem is that most people don’t know the safe way to surf the Web. “They use a search engine like Google, get l8 trillion choices and start clicking. But that’s risky, because almost anybody can put up a site that looks 35 , so it’s hard to know whether what you’re reading is reasonable or not,” says Dr. Sarah Bass from the National Cancer Institute.
III. Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
There is a common belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in spelling. But this is not quite true. 36 , all the schools which I have taught in, spelling have been considered as a basic skill. There are, however, quite different ideas about how to teach it, or how to 37 students’ general language development and their writing ability. The problem is how to encourage a child to express himself 38 in writing without holding him back with spelling.
If spelling becomes the only point of his teacher’s 39 , clearly a bright child will be likely to “play safe”. That is to say, he will write only words which he can 40 correctly. That’s why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to the content (内容) rather than technical abilities.
I was once shocked to read a sensitive piece of 41 about a personal experience. “This composition is terrible! There are far too many spelling mistakes.” A teacher who said this might be 42 the pupil’s technical abilities in writing, but it was also a sad thing for the teacher who had not noticed the content of the composition, which 43 some beautiful expressions of the child’s deep feelings. The teacher was not wrong to pay attention to the 44 , but if the teacher mainly focuses on the child’s ideas, an expression of the above 45 with the composition will give the pupil more hope to make improvement.
36. A. Unfortunately B. Strangely C. Actually D. Surprisingly
37. A. balance B. discover C. know D. use
38. A. correctly B. carefully C. slowly D. freely
39. A. skill B. interest C. knowledge D. ability
40. A. spell B. recognize C. read D. say
41. A. sentence B. news C. composition D. language
42. A. amused at B. familiar to C. happy with D. unsatisfied with
43. A. developed B. contained C. overused D. copied

45. A. encouragement B. belief C. comparison D. disappointment

Dear Parents,
As we start the second half of the spring term, I thought it important to update you on some key developments.
Post - 16 Collaboration (合作)
We have entered into an exciting new collaboration with Bassaleg Comprehension School, Duffryn High School, St Joseph’s High School, and Coleg Gwent — the Newport West Post - 16 Partnership (共同体). We will be working together to deliver nearly 40 different courses at these schools, students from other schools will study some subjects here.

I got up and dressed, stuck my violin under my jacket, and went out into the street. I wandered about for an hour, looking for a likely place, feeling as if I were about to commit a crime (犯罪). Then I stopped at last under a bridge near the station and decided to have a go.
I felt tense and shaking. I drew my violin from under my coat like a gun. It was here, in Southampton, with trains passing overhead, that I was about to prove myself.
The first notes (音符) I played were loud and raw, and then they settled down and began to run more smoothly and to stay more or less in tune. To my surprise I was neither arrested nor told to shut up. Indeed, nobody took any notice at all.
I walked the streets of Southampton for several days, gradually knowing how to try and get money by being a street artist. It was not a good thing, for instance, to let the hat fill up with money — the sight could discourage the people; nor was it wise to empty it completely, which could also confuse them, giving them no hint as to where to drop his money. Placing a couple of pennies (便士) in the hat to start the thing going soon became a good idea. Before I played another tune (曲子), I took off the big money, but always left two pennies behind.
Old ladies were most generous, and so were women with children, shop girls, and typists. As for the men: Heavy drinkers were always generous too and so were big young with muscles. But never a man with a hat, briefcase or dog; respectable types were the meanest (最吝啬的) of all, except retired army officers, who would bark “Why aren’t you working, young man ” and then threw much money into the hat to hide their confusion.
49. The phrase “have a go” (in Paragraph 1) probably means ________.
A. have a try B. run away C. change a place D. commit a crime
50. When the writer began to play the violin, he thought that ________.
A. he could make a lot of money B. he had chosen the wrong place
C. he would get into trouble D. people would stop and listen to him
51. According to the passage, the writer thought the best way of encouraging people to give a street-violinist money was to ________.
A. let the hat fill up with money first
B. leave a small amount of money in the hat
C. make sure that the hat was always empty
D. choose the best place to play more smooth tunes
52. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage
A. Most of the ladies were willing to give him money.
B. Retired army officers seldom gave him money.
C. Drinkers were generous with their money.
D. Not all the people would feel pity for street-violinists.
(C)
Most parents and teachers would get angry when they hear that teenagers listen to their iPods while preparing for exams. But pupils who listen to music when doing their homework may be, in fact, working hard.
Thirsty three schools have downloaded specially written pop and rock songs for their 10,000 pupils who are studying for GCSE (初级毕业证书). The professionally recorded music, based on texts in English literature, teaches teenagers about themes in the GCSE curriculum (课程). Two young men set up “Revise”, the company that produced the songs, and worked with teachers to make sure the lyrics (歌词) reflected the curriculum. Some of the songs were written by Geraint Brown, a director, and they are performed by professional singers and musicians.
Songs for the GCSE science and maths lessons are also being developed in 36 schools. They have also started using the program, called, “LearnThruMusic”.
Dave Matthews, the head of Hawthorn High School in the South Wales valleys, said the program aimed at helping teenagers who are unwilling to study. He said, “There are lots of pupils who don’t have a high level of home support. It’s almost cool to say you have no need to find a support and we have got to change that. With this, they don’t have to be sitting at their desk at home. They can be outside, walking around or even listening to it on the bus, which is very convenient for them.” Everyone has a phone, MP3 or CD player, and they’re more likely to listen to these than pick up a book. “I think everyone would agree that music had an important influence on us when growing up. Both boys and girls are very good at remembering the words and dancing to the music in the charts. There’s no one thing that will successfully engage (使…产生兴趣) every child, and some of them will make little or no use of this. But the fact that they don’t have to do any extra work makes this a very good deal for a kid,” Dave Matthews added.
53. The pop and rock songs used in 36 schools ________.
A. were written for the students to relax themselves
B. made most parents and teachers angry
C. were specially written for hardworking students
D. were closely related to the curriculum
54. Which benefit of the program is NOT mentioned in the passage
A. It saves students much extra work. B. It offers different ways of learning.
C. It makes remembering easier. D. It improves family support to kids.
55. Which of the following can be inferred in the passage
A. The program is not expected to have equal effect on every student.
B. Some students used the song as an excuse for not reading textbooks.
C. It’s more difficult to create songs for science and maths lessons.
D. Students involved in the program needn’t go to school every day.
56. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage
A. Special-written Songs — A Reason Why Students Should Listen to IPods.
B. Special-written Songs — A New Way to Learn the Curriculum.
C. Special-written Songs — A Substitution for Textbooks.
D. Special-written Songs — Mothers’ New Concern.
Section C
Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.
For most of my 15 years, my father talked very little to my mother and me. He would rather read the newspaper or watch football matches on television.
Everything changed one morning. As soon as I came downstairs to breakfast, I could see that he wasn’t his usual reserved (沉默的) self. “Can’t wait! FIFA World Cup! Big match! Must see!” I quickly figured out what all the excitement was about: Dad is a big football fan.
Dad decided that we should all eat at a little German restaurant so that we could watch the exciting football match between his favorite teams while they are eating delicious food. Secretly, I think he was hoping to turn Mum and me into football fans.
Dad explained almost everything to me during the match. His short answers were a thing of the past. I loved the new Dad! I watched the rest of the match, becoming more and more interested. When I told my father that I planned to watch more matches with him, he smiled and gave me a wink (眨眼). At long last we had something in common.
Football has changed both my father and me. We understood each other better and our relationship has never been stronger than before. Who says football is only about 22 men running after a silly ball
(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statement in NO MORE THAN 10 WORDS.)
57. For years, the writer’s father would read the newspaper or watch football matches on television instead of _________________.

60. What benefits has football brought to the writer and his father
IV. Reading Comprehension (II)
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
In bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the child’s acquisition (学会) of each new skill—the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his 61 learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child. This might happen at any 62 : a baby might be forced to use a toilet too early; a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. 63 , though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural 64 for life and his desire to find out new things for himself.
Parents vary greatly in their 65 of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters, while others are severe over times of coming home at night or punctuality for meals. In general, the 66 represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child’s own happiness.
As regards to the development of 67 standards in the growing child, consistency (一致性) is very important in parental teaching. To 68 a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality (道德). Also, parents should realize that “ 69 is better than instruction”. If they are not sincere and do not 70 what they preach (说教), their children may grow 71 and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled. A sudden 72 of a marked difference between their parents’ principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment.
61. A. worthy B. natural C. fast D. reliable
62. A. family B. event C. stage D. situation
63. A. For example B. In short C. To sum up D. On the other hand
64. A. qualification B. knowledge C. enthusiasm D. technique
65. A. degree B. knowledge C. strategy D. expectation
66. A. instructions B. controls C. principles D. emotions
67. A. living B. examination C. academic D. moral
68. A. teach B. encourage C. forbid D. refuse
69. A. persuasion B. example C. assistance D. description
70. A. practice B. understand C. appreciate D. explain
71. A. bored B. embarrassed C. confused D. depressed
72. A. awareness B. action C. direction D. illustration
Section B
Directions: Read the following passage. The passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
University educators largely think highly of the wonders of teaching through technology, but skeptics (怀疑论者) question whether something is lost when professors and lectures rely too heavily on electronic media or when interaction with students takes place remotely — in cyberspace rather than the real space of the classroom. Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht, the Professor of Literature at Stanford University, is one such skeptic. “I think this enthusiastic and sometimes childish and blind pushing toward the more technology the better, the more websites the better teacher, and so forth, is very dangerous — is, indeed, suicidal (自杀性的),” he indicates.
However, Gumbrecht warns that there are few, if any, studies either supporting or rejecting the hypothesis (假设) that traditional ways of teaching are superior to teaching via the Internet. He says that he could point only to his “intuition (直觉) that real classroom presence should be maintained,” and emphasizes the need for educators to examine critically where technology serves a useful pedagogical (教学法的) function and where it does not.
Yet, Gumbrecht allows that, for courses in which knowledge transmission (传播) is the sole purpose, electronic media probably can do the job well enough. Indeed, given the 20th century’s knowledge explosion and the increasing costs of higher education, using technology as opposed to real-life teachers for the transmission of information is probably inevitable, he admits. In any case, knowledge transmission should not be the core (核心的) function of the university, he maintains, noting that universities should be places where people confront (面对) open questions, places for “intellectual complexity” and “riskful thinking”.
“We are not about finding or transmitting solutions; we are not about recipes; we are not about making intellectual life easy. Confrontation with complexity is what expands your mind. It is something like intellectual gymnastics. And this is what makes you a suitable member of the society.”
Moreover, discussions in the physical presence of others can lead to the intellectual innovation. “There’s a qualitative change (质变), and you don’t know how it happens. Discussions in the physical presence have the capacity of being the catalyst (催化剂) for such intellectual breakthroughs. The possibility of in-classroom teaching — of letting something happen which cannot happen if you teach by the transmission of information — is a strength.”
73. Which of the following is the best title to this passage
A. Cyberspace Interaction
B. The Core Function of the University
C. Information Transmission Cannot Help You Survive
D. Electronic Teaching Arouses Uncertainty
74. Which of the following might Professor Gumbercht support
A. Professors should be keen on teaching technique innovation.
B. Technologies applied to classrooms strength creative thinking.
C. Traditional pedagogical function has its place in classroom.
D. The core function of the university is to focus on knowledge transmitting.
75. Cyberspace teaching could replace real-life teachers EXCEPT when ________.
A. transmitting knowledge is the only purpose of the course
B. there’s too much knowledge to put across to the students
C. the cost of college education increases greatly
D. open questions without possible answers are encouraged
76. According to the passage, discussion in the physical presence of others can ________.
A. lead to greatly improved intellectual abilities
B. lead to easier and stronger transmission of information
C. produce certain energy for intellectual breakthroughs
D. produce qualitative change in teacher-students relationships
