二、阅读理解(每题10分，共5题)

Reading Comprehension:(A)

So long as teachers fail to distinguish between teaching and learning , they will continue to undertake 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 endle ss 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 function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read. Teaching is also public activity. It can be seen and observed.

Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world of printed language. Almost all of

注：装订线内禁止答题，装订线外禁止有姓名和其他标记。

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（探索）for knowledge? Smith has one principal rule for all teaching instruct ions. “Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent exp erience for children. ”

When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teacher fulfil 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 leaning to read by reading. 31．The problem with the reading course as mentioned in the first paragraph is that ________.

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 in teaching about reading

32．The teaching of reading will be successful if ________.

A. teachers can improve conditions at school for the students

B. teachers can enable students to develop their own way of reading

C. teachers can devise the most effcient system for reading

D. teachers can make their teaching activities observable

33．The underlined word“ scrutiny” most probably means“________”.

A. inquiry

B. observation

C. control

D. suspicion

34．According to the passage, learning to read will no longer be a difficult task when ________.

A. children become highly motivated

B. teacher and learner roles are interchangeable

C. teaching helps children in the search for knowledge

D. reading enriches children’s experience

35．The main idea of the passage is that ________.

A. teachers should do as little as possible in helping students learn to read

B. teachers should encourage students to read as widely as possible

C. reading ability is something acquired rather than taught

D. reading is more complicated that generally believed

Reading Comprehension:(B)

Animals other than humans have not developed communications comparable to human language. But is it possible that other animals have the capacity to learn a language if they are adequately taught? Obviously, this is a fascination notion. The idea of communicating directly with another species has long been a part of human folklore and

注：装订线内禁止答题，装订线外禁止有姓名和其他标记。

children’s fantasies. But on a scientific level, the question of whether animals can learn a language is important primarily because it relates to the controversy()between the cognitive and the learning approaches to language. If language is dependent on and is actually an outgrowth of the intellectual structure of the human mind, there is the strong supposition that only humans are capable of using language. Therefore, Noam Chomsky and other psycholinguists have argued that only humans can learn a language, while most behaviorists feel that with sufficient patience it should be possible to teach an animal some sort of language. Although the two schools of thought clearly differ on this point, it is not really a crucial test of the two theories. If a chimpanzee can master a simple language all it would mean is that the chimp’s intellectual capacity and brain structure are more similar to ours than we thought. It would not necessarily imply that our intellectual structure is unimportant in our own mastery of language. Thus, teaching an animal language is an impressive demonstration of the power of learning techniques, but it is not evidence that language is developed entirely through learning.

On the other hand, the question of whether other animals can learn a language is fascination in its own right, aside from its value as a test of the two theories of language development. Accordingly, whatever one’s position on the theoretical dispute, we must consider training an animal to use language a dramatic accomplishment.

36.Which of the following statements is the view of psycholinguists?

A.The cognitive view of language learning says that only human beings can learn language because it is an

outgrowth of the structure of the human mind.

B.Other animals simply could master a language.

C.The animals intellectual capacity is much better than human beings.

https://www.360docs.net/doc/e910290065.html,nguage is developed by learning.

37.The behaviorists’ view is that __________.

https://www.360docs.net/doc/e910290065.html,nguage is actually an outgrowth of intel lectual structure of the animal’s mind

B.animals have not developed communications system

C.given enough patience, a man should be able to teach an animal some sort of language

D.only human beings can learn language

38.That an animal can master a simple language means that __________.

A.human’s intellectual structure is not important

B.animals’ intellectual capacity and brain structure are more similar to the humans’

C.the learning techniques are much more important

https://www.360docs.net/doc/e910290065.html,nguage is developed completely by learning

39.The main idea of paragraph two is ___________.

A.teaching a chimp language is not crucial test of the two theories

B.their brain structure is not similar to human

https://www.360docs.net/doc/e910290065.html,ing various methods to let the chimp master a language

D.training a nonhuman to use language is an amazing accomplishment

D.Can Other Animals Acquire Language?

Reading Comprehension:(C)

Disraeli was as sparkling a letter-writer as he was a novelist. His letters show that his capacity to observed was matched only by his ability to describe, and they are excited by his over-developed sense of self-dramatization as well as by his enduring sense of the greatness of his own destiny. He skims through these pages like some gorgeous bird of paradise, spreading his multi-colored feathers and never pausing long enough to become boring.

As early as 1830, when only 26, he is found advising Benjamin Austin to carefully conserve his letters for posterity. Fortunately Austin and others followed his advicA. As a result over 10,000 letters in his own hand have survived, quite apart from dictated letters and other notes and documents. Disraeli rarely kept a diary, and poured his thoughts, desires and reflections into his correspondencA.

What treasures there lie in store! We leave him 1837 with his longed-for election to Parliament, but ahead come into view the high peaks of his career with the twin mountains of his two premierships and his friendship with the Queen. Lord Esher maintained that the letters between Disraeli and Queen Victoria had largely been destroyed, but this was not so. A new, bright and searching light will eventually shine on that extraordinary political and romantic friendship.

41. This passage appears to be written by _______.

A a friend of Disraeli's

B his capacity to observe and his ability to describe were unrivalled

C he was capable of adapting descriptions to fit his observations

D his observations and descriptions reflected his own personal ambitions

43. During his lifetime Disraeli pursued the career of _______.

A a correspondent

Reading Comprehension:(D)

It is said that the public and Congressional concern about deceptive packaging rumpus started because Senator Hart discovered that the boxes of cereals consumed by him, Mrs. Hart, and their children were becoming higher and narrower,

注：装订线内禁止答题，装订线外禁止有姓名和其他标记。

with a decline of net weight from 12 to 10 1/2 ounces, without any reduction in price. There were still twelve biscuits, but they had been reduced in size. Later, the Senator rightly complained of a store-bought pie in a handsomely illustrated box that pictured, in a single slice, almost as many cherries as there were in the whole pie.

The manufacturer who increases the unit price of his product by changing his package size to lower the quantity delivered can, without undue hardship, put his product into boxes, bags, and tins that will contain even 4-ounce, 8-ounce, one-pound, two-pound quantities of breakfast foods, cake mixes, etC. A study of drugstore and supermarket shelves will convince any observers that all possible sizes and shapes of boxes, jars, bottles, and tins are in use at the same time, and, as the package journals show, week by week, there is never any hesitation in introducing a new size and shape of box or bottle when it aids in product differentiation. The producers of packaged products argue strongly against changing sizes of packages to contain even weights and volumes, but no one in the trade comments unfavorably on the huge costs incurred by endless changes of package sizes, materials, shape, art work, and net weights that are used for improving a product's market position.

When a packaging expert explained that he was able to multiply the price of hard sweets by 2.5, from $1 to $ 2.5 by changing to a fancy jar, or that he had made a 5-ounce bottle look as though it held 8 ounces, he was in effect telling the public that packaging can be a very expensive luxury. It evidently does come high, when an average filmily pays about $ 200 a year from bottles, cans, boxes, jars and other containers, most of which can't be used for anything but stuffing the garbage can.

46 What started the public and Congressional concern about deceptive packaging rumpus?

A Consumers' complaints about the changes in package size.

B Expensive packaging for poor quality products.

C A Senator's discovery of the tricks in packaging.

D The rise in the unit price for many products.

47. The word "undue" (ParA. 2)means___________.

A improper

B adequate

C unexpected

D excessive

48. Consumers are concerned about the changes in package size mainly because___________.

A they hate to see any changes in things they are familiar with

B the unit price for a product often rises as a result

C they have to pay for the Cost of changing package sizes

D this entails an increase in the cost of packaging

49. According to this passage, various types of packaging come into existence to___________.

A meet the needs of consumers

B suit all kinds of products

C enhance the market position of products

D introduce new products

50. The author is critical mainly of___________.

A dishonest packaging

B inferior packaging

C tbe changes in package size

D exaggerated illustration on packages

Reading Comprehension:(E)

Between about 1910 and 1930, new artistic movements in European art were making themselves felt in the United States. American artists became acquainted with the new art on their trips to Paris and at the exhibitions in the famous New York gallery “291”( named after its address on Fifth Avenue) of the photographer Alfred Stieglitz. But most important in the spread of the modern movements in the United States was the sensational Armory Show of the 1913 held in New York, in which the works of many of the leading European artists were seen along with the works of a

注：装订线内禁止答题，装订线外禁止有姓名和其他标记。

number of progressive American painters.

Several of the American modernists who were influenced by the Armory Show found the urban landscape, especially New York, an appealing subject. Compared with the works of the realist painters, the works of American modernists were much further removed from the actual appearance of the city; they were more interested in the “feel “ of the city, more concerned with the meaning behind appearance. However, both the painters of the Ash Can School” and the later realists were still tied to nineteenth-century or earlier styles, while the early modernists shared in the international breakthroughs of the art of the twentieth century.

The greatest of these breakthroughs was Cubism, developed most fully in France between 1907 and 1914, which brought about a major revolution in Western painting. It overturned the regional tradition that had been built upon since the Renaissance. In cubism, natural forms were broken down analytically into geometric shapes. No longer was a clear differentiation made between the figure and the background of a painting: the objects represented and the surface on which they were painted became one. The Cubists abandoned the conventional single vantage point of the viewer, and objects depicted from multiple viewpoints were shown at the same way.

51.What’s the main topic of the passage?

A.Modern art movements in the United States.

B.The great influence of Cubism.

C.Several American modernists found urban landscape an appealing subject.

D.Contemporary artists in the United States.

52.Which of the following is not mentioned as a means through which American artists learned about new movements?

A.Trips to Paris.

B.Lectures by European artists.

C.The exhibitions in the famous New York gallery “291”.

D.The sensational Armory Show in 1913.

53.What was exhibited on the sensational Armory Show of 1913 in New York?

A.Works of many leading European artists as well as works of many progressive American painters.

B.Works of all the European artists and American painters.

C.Works of a number of American modernists and painters of the “Ash Can School”.

D.Works of European artists only.

54.According to the author, which of the following was a major new movement in twentieth-century art?

A. Impressionism.

B. Cubism.

C. The rational tradition.

D. Realism.

55.What do we know about Cubism?

A.It made a clear differentiation between the figure and the background of a painting.

B.Natural forms were broken down analytically into shape of a square.

C.The object represented and the surface on which they were painted became one.

D.The Cubists preserved the conventional single vantage point of the viewer.
