第二部分 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
A
Student participation in the classroom is not only accepted but also expected of students in many courses. Some professors base part of the final grade on students’ oral participation. Although there are formal lectures during which students have a passive role (i.e., listening and taking notes), many courses are organized around classroom discussions, students’ questions, and informal lectures. In graduate discussions the professor has a “manager” role and the students make presentations and lead discussions. The students do the actual teaching in these discussions.
A professor’s teaching method is another factor that determines the degree and type of student participation. Some professors prefer to control discussions while others prefer to guide the class without controlling it. Many professors encourage students to question their ideas. Students who object to the professor’s point of view should be prepared to prove their positions.
In the teaching of science and mathematics, the controlling mode of instruction is generally traditional, with teachers presenting formal lectures and students taking notes. However, new educational trends have turned up in the humanities and social sciences in the past twenty years. Students in education, society, and history classes, for example, are often required to solve problems in groups, design projects, make presentations, and examine case studies. Since some college or university courses are “practical” rather than theoretical, they pay more attention to “doing” for themselves.

Louis Braille was a blind man and he invented the code for the blind. His code gave windows to the blind. In the year 1812, Louis Braille was a very small boy. He lived in a small town. His father had a small shop. One day, Louis was playing in the shop and picked up a small tool with a very sharp point. Louis fell down and the point of the tool hurt his eyes, and later he became blind in both eyes.
At ten, Louis went to the school for the blind in Paris. One day, on a visit home, he said to his father, “Blind people are very lonely in the world. Only books can free the blind. But there are no books for us to read.”
Since then Louis wanted to make books for the blind. Instead of letters, he wanted to use shapes that were easy to tell apart by touch. Louis tried and tried, but he couldn’t come up with a code that would work.
Later, while teaching at a school for the blind in Paris, Louis heard of a kind of “night writing”, which was a code that a French army captain had made up for sending messages on the battle field. The message was “written” in raised dots and dashes. It was “read” by touch. Louis had been trying to find a code that blind people could read, but he failed again and again. Now he thought the idea of “night writing” might be the answer. He never rested from the time when meaning of “night writing” hit him until five years later. He worked and worked and finally came up with a simple system in which he made six holes in different positions within a small space on a piece of paper. With these six holes, he could make sixty-three different combinations. Each combination meant a letter or a short word. In addition to the letters, he could have punctuation marks and even short words like “the” and “for”. Soon Louis wrote a book using the Braille system.
Louis died in 1852, when he was only 43. But his name lives on. It lives on as the name of the code that he invented and the code is still used by the blind.
49. When were Louis Braille’s eyes hurt?
A. When he was only ten years old.
B. When he was only nine years old.
C. When he was only four years old.
D. When he was only three years old.
50. How long did it take Louis Braille to invent the Braille system of reading for the blind?
A. Five years B. More than five years
C. Less than five years D. Not mentioned
51. Braille was excited by the captain’s “night writing” because _____.
A. people could read this kind of writing at night
B. it used dots and dashes instead of letters
C. it could be used to send messages on the battle fields
D. it could be recognized by touch
52. Braille system uses sixty-three combinations to show ______.
A. short words B. letters
C. punctuation marks D. A, B, and C
53. Which is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Braille is the name of the man and the code that gives windows to the blind.
B. Braille system can be read by everyone.
C. Braille used from one to six dots for each letter of the alphabet.
D. There are books, magazines printed in the Braille now.

The American expression “burning your bridges” means acting in such a way that you destroy any chance of turning back or changing your actions.
You can burn your bridges when you are offered a new job. Suppose, for example, that you decide to take the new job. You tell your old boss about your decision. You also tell him how glad you are to leave. With these words, you have burned your bridges. Your boss will never let you return to your old job.
The expression “burning your bridges” gets its name from warfare. An army that is forced back across a river may decide to burn the bridge after crossing it. In this way, the army prevents its enemy from using the bridge. However, the army also destroys its own chance to come back across the river. Most people who “burn their bridges” today do not belong to the military. But like those armies, they move in a different direction with no chance of coming back.
There is one other bridge expression that all bridge “burners” should not forget. It usually is in the form of a warning, “Don’t cross your bridge until you get to it.” It requires you to seize the right chance to do anything.
54. What’s the best subject the writer talks about in the passage?
A. Change your actions when necessary.
B. Advice on how to solve job problems.
C. An American useful expression.
D. A good “burner”, a good worker.
55. “A teacher has burnt his bridges.” means ______.
A. he is dismissed by the schoolmaster
B. he has decided to fire all his pupils he teaches
C. he has surely found a better job in another school
D. he has made his firm decision to leave
56. “Don’t cross your bridge until you get to it” in the last paragraph probably means _______.
A. waiting until the right time comes before you act
B. making a full preparation before you start
C. looking before you leap
D. taking action without hesitation(犹豫)

Take it from Madonna, the self -stated “Material Girl”, money can’t buy happiness. That’s quite a lesson from the 46-year-old pop singer, whose fifth children’s book in the past 18 months “Lotsa de Casha（快乐的真谛）” hit store shelves this week.
“Lotsa was by far the richest man in the country. He had everything that money could buy,” is the opening line of her latest book. “But there was a tiny problem. No matter how much money Lotsa made, he wasn’t happy.” The short book concludes with the moral, “When you learn to share, you will not only find happiness. You will also find a friend.”
Famous as much for her attractive dance anthems(舞曲) “Vogue” and “Ray of Light” as she was some 20 years ago performing “Like a Virgin” on MTV, Madonna said she’s left some of her old antics(古怪的姿态) behind and is all grown up now.
“I’d like to think I’ve been developing and transforming my whole career when I grew up,” she told the reporter in an interview. “The media likes to say it’s just another one of my antics,” she said of her career as an author. “But it’s much more deep and profound than that.”
Madonna the singer is known as a changeable person, from sexy clothes and suggestive songs to Eastern mysticism（神秘主义）. Similarly, Madonna the writer has written a series of books which barely resemble each other. A different illustrator was hired for each of the five slim volumes. But they are all an－chored(支持) by the same message. She insists， “Nothing is what it seems.” Her intended audience and some critics might agree.
A book reading at a New York bookstore on Tuesday drew puzzled responses from the group of about 25 kids, who appeared to have difficulty grasping the book’s morals.
“I think she makes the same mistake every celebrity(名人) author makes: They think they can write children’s books,” said Cooper, children’s book editor of Booklist. “Generally it’s just awful, beyond awful,” said Cooper of efforts by celebrities-turned authors.
57. Madonna’s fifth children’s book “Lotsa de Casha” ends up with the words “________”.
A. Generally it’s just awful, beyond awful
B. Money can’t buy happiness
C. When you learn to share, you will not only find happiness. You will also find a friend
D. Lotsa was by far the richest man in the country
58. Which of the following statements is TRUE about Madonna’s books?
A. There is much similarity among her books.
B. Her books are easy for children to understand.
C. All the pictures in her books are painted by herself.
D. Her books give people the same meaning “Nothing is what it seems”.
59. Which of the following statements is NOT true about Madonna?
A. Madonna thinks turning into an author is only another one of her antics.
B. Madonna will no longer perform her old funny actions on the stage.
C. Madonna, as an author, also has various ways to express herself.
D. Madonna was a sexy and attractive singer.
60. What is the attitude of Cooper to celebrity authors?
A. Works written by celebrity authors are especially popular with the children.
B. He thinks highly of the works written by celebrity authors.
C. He thinks it is a terrible thing for celebrity authors to work at writing.
D. He encourages celebrity to publish books.
