3.When we talk about intelligence we do not mean the ability to get good scores on certain kinds of tests or even the ability to do well in school. By intelligence we mean a way of living and behaving, especially in a new situation. If we want to test intelligence, we need to find out how a person acts instead of how much he knows to do.For example, when in a new situation, an intelligent person thinks about the situation, not about himself or what might happen to him. He tries to find out all he can do, and then he acts immediately and tries to do something about it. He probably isn’t sure how it all works out, but at least he tries. And if he cannot make things work out right, he doesn’t feel ashamed that he failed, he just tries to learn from his mistakes. An intelligent person, even if he is very young, has a special outlook in life, a special feeling about life, and a special way of how he fits into it.If you look at children, you’ll see a great difference between what we call ”bright” children and “not bright” children. They are actually two different kinds of people, not just the same kind with different amounts of intelligence. For example, the bright child really wants to find out about life—he tries to get in touch with everything around him. But the unintelligent child keeps more to himself and his own dream world; he seems to have a wall between him and life in general1、According to this passage, intelligence is the ability to______.A、work by oneself do well in anyB、situationC、know what is right and wrongD、adapt oneself to a new situation2、In a new situation, an intelligent person ____________.A、knows more about what might happen to himB、is well-prepared for his actionC、pays greater attention to the situationD、completely ignores himself3、If an intelligent person failed, he would ________A、feel ashamed about the failureB、learn from his experiencesC、find out what he can’t doD、make sure what’s wrong withhis outlook in life4、An intelligent child ________A、learns more about himselfB、shows interest in things around himC、studies everything that may be interestingD、looks down upon unintelligent children5、Why does an unintelligent child seem to have a wall between him and life in general?A、Because he can hardly see the outside world.B、Because life is far away from him.C、Because he knows nothing about life in general.D、Because he has little interest in things around himself.

  • 第1题:

    This is not the world we know. This world is controlled by computers. Men and women can be seen, but they are following the orders given to them by machines. The machines were designed by mad scientists, but at some point even the mad scientists were taken over by their super-inventions.

    Does this sound familiar? You have probably read something like it in magazines or books, or seen it in a film. Why is it so popular? One of the reasons is that it reflects the fears of many people; fear of the unknown fear of what is not understood or, at least, fear of something that is not completely understood.

    The fact is that every day it seems that computers take control of another area of our lives. Some

    factory jobs are now done by robots and the robots are controlled by computers. Our bank accounts are managed by computers. At the airport, our tickets are sold by a computer. Certainly, many of these operations are made more

    efficient by computers, but our admiration is sometimes mixed with unsafe feelings. And this lack of safety is caused by the fact that we do not know how computers do these things, and we really don't know what they might do next. But we can find out how computers work, and once we understand them, we can use computers instead of worrying about being used by them. Today, there is a new generation of computer wizards who know exactly how computers get things done. These young men and women, usually university students, are happy to sit for hours, sometimes for days, designing programs, not eating, not sleeping, but discovering what can be done by these wonderful slaves which they have learned to control. These computer wizards have learned to use the computer and search for new tasks for their machines.

    (1)、According to the passage, our present world is under the control of ______ .

    A:mad scientists

    B:men and women

    C:the unknown fear

    D:some super-inventions

    (2)、The reason why many people are afraid of computers is that ______ .

    A:they don't know anything about computers

    B:they haven't really understood computers

    C:there are so many computer games

    D:computers are often down

    (3)、The author mentions computer wizards in order to point out that ______ .

    A:computers can be controlled by man

    B:there should be more people devoted to computers

    C:only young people are interested in computers

    D:more time and energy is required to control computers

    (4)、This passage is probably written to suggest that ______ .

    A:some day computers can deal with all human problems

    B:computers can be used in place of traveling to our jobs

    C:people should not fear computers

    D:computer technology will not meet people's needs in various situations

    (5)、The author's attitude towards widely used computers is __.

    A:positive

    B:anxious

    C:worried

    D:serious

    请阅读Passage 2,完成第小题。
    Passage 2
    Exceptional children are different in some significant ways from others of the same age, for the same age, for these children to develop to their full adult potential, their education must be adapted to those differences.
    Although we focus on the needs of exceptional children, we find ourselves describing their environment as well. While the leading actor on the stage captures our attention, we are aware of the importance of the supporting players and the scenery of the play itself. Both the family and the society in which exceptional children live are often the key to their growth and development. And it is in the public schools that we find the full expression of society's understanding the knowledge,hopes, and fears that are passed on to the next generation.
    Education in any society is a mirror of that society. In that mirror we can see the strengths, the weaknesses, the hopes, the prejudices, and the central values of the culture itself. The great interest in exceptional children shown in public education over the past three decades indicates the strong feeling in our society that all citizens, whatever their special conditions, deserve the opportunity to fully develop their capabilities.
    "All men are created equal." We've heard it many times, but it still has important meaning for education in a democratic society. Although the phrase was used by this country's founders to denote equality before the law, it has also been interpreted to mean equality of opportunity. That concept implies educational opportunity for all children--the right of each child to receive help in learning to the limits of his or her capacity, whether that capacity be small or great. Recent court decisions have confirmed the right of all children--disabled or not--to an appropriate education,and have ordered that public schools take the necessary steps to provide that education. In response,schoolsaremodifying theirprograms,adaptinginstructiontochildrenwhoare exceptional, to those who cannot profit substantially from regular programs.

    Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

    A.Exceptional children refer to those with mental or physical problems.
    B.The author use"All men are created equal" to counter the school program for the
    exceptional children.
    C.Recent court decisions confirm the rights of the exceptional children to enjoy the equal rights to learn with the normal ones.
    D.Regular school programs fail to meet the requirements to develop the potential of exceptional children.

    答案:D
    解析:
    文章首段中的“…to develop to their full adult potential”和文章最后一句中的“…to those who cannot profit substantially from regular programs."清楚地表明了“exceptional children”指的是智力超常的儿童,因此A项不正确。文章的第四段对“All men are created equal”在教育中的含义给予了具体的解释,即“每个孩子具有得到帮助、学到能力极限的权利”.因此B项错误。本文的宗旨是赞同学校对超常儿童与普通儿童采用不同的教学计划:法律确认的是所有孩子享有适当的教育的权利.这包括超常儿童的潜能得以最大发挥的权利.因此C项不对。D项意为“学校通常的教学计划不能满足超常儿童充分发挥潜能的需要”。“调整教学计划适应超常儿童的必要性”是本文的中心,这与D项内容一致,故选D。

  • 第5题:

    Debate is a valuable way to practise communicating.It can also bring long-lasting rewards,especially?for people working with Western businesses.The main activity of debate is presenting one′s opinion and?supporting it with evidence,such as statistics or facts.It is a way of persuasive communication.
    Charles Lebeau helped create the“Discover Debate”method.He says debate is important to?understanding how people communicate in Western business.Successful debaters learn how to give?their opinion,reasons and support.“What we are trying to do is to develop a kind of thinking or?approach to discussion and how to interact(交流)with someone else′s opinion,rather than brush?their opinion aside.”
    Debate skills are also important in selling a product,he says.In that situation,the judges are the?customers.“So on Monday,for example,one company may come in and present their case to the?customer and they′ll?make as strong a case as they can.On Tuesday,the next day,another company?will come in and present their case to the customer.Usually the party that can present the strongest?case wins.”
    Debate also strengthens critical thinking.In other words,it helps students learn to ask questions?and try to understand someone′s reasons and evidence.
    Mr.Lebeau points out that successful debaters learn to listen carefully to what other people are?saying.Then,they look for the weak points in someone else′s opinion or argument.He says debate?teaches a systematic way of questioning.
    Successful debaters also learn to think from someone else′s point of view.Mr.Lebeau saysdebate can help broaden the mind.“There′s an expression in English:don′t criticize another person?before you have walked in their shoes.I think the wonderful thing about debate is,it puts us in?another person′s shoes.”

    What can debaters benefit from“walking in another person′s shoes”?

    A.Becoming more broad-minded.
    B.Developing critical thinking.
    C.Finding others'weak points.
    D.Trying out others'methods.

    答案:A
    解析:
    【考情点拨】推理判断题。
    【应试指导】根据文章最后一段的内容可知,“walking in another person’s shoes”指站在他人的角度思考问题,而Lebeau认为辩论有利于拓宽人的胸襟,所以站在他人的角度思考问题可以变得心胸开阔,容纳不同的意见,故选A。

    The author’s reason for quoting Judge Hand is to( )

    A.call attention to the writing ofThucydides and Carlyle
    B.support the thesis of the author that literature broadens our understanding and stretches our faculties
    C.point out that constitutional law is a part of the great literature of our past
    D.show that everyone,including judges,enjoys reading

    答案:B
    解析:
    例证题。根据题干关键词Judge Hand可定位到第六段及第五段第二句Additionally,however,it has been suggested that solutions of social problems may be suggested in the study ofliterature,由此可知,引用Judge Hand的话的原因是证明优秀作品有利于拓展我们的理解,提高我们的能力。A、C两项只是Judge Hand举的部分例子,并不是作者举例的原因。故本题选B。参考译文:反对过于严苛,或过于精炼的经典课程,一些教育哲学家已经完全赞同将“生活体验”作为学习的唯一来源。他们对约翰·杜威的教育思想做出狭义的阐释,基于这种阐释,他们总结出,只有通过“做”才能学习知识。有这样的一句习语,“教孩子学习,而不是学科”。他们认为,不需要感受学习的无聊,阻止枯燥学习的方法是打开学习之门。尽管不完全遵守这个方法都可能让人们彻底摒弃阅读优秀书籍,但这种思想已经影响了公立学校的课程,比如重要的文学课程逐渐降到次要位置。文学的目的是什么?如果生活是我们的老师,为什么要读文学?詹姆斯·乔伊斯说,艺术家通过从生活中重新创造生活的方法来揭示人类的境遇;亚里士多德说,艺术显示了普遍真理,因为它的形式来源于大自然。因此,伟大的作家有意识或无意识地热情地阐释了人类的处境,将我们的理解范围拓展到了我们所处的世界之外。我们能够和作家一起感受人类欲望的制高点,或者跌入悲剧的深渊。斯坦贝克、安徒生以及塞林格的作品,惠特曼、桑德伯格以及弗罗斯特的诗歌,易卜生、米勒以及奥尼尔的戏剧:所有的作品都是生活问题的真实写照。现实?是的!但是我们通过阅读获得的对生活的理解与我们通过对生活的窥探而获得的经验相比,道理深刻了不知多少倍。年轻读者与汤姆和哈克一起在密西西比河冒险,或者,为与黑骑士战斗时的艾凡赫喝彩;成熟读者对威廉·福克纳与田纳西·威廉姆斯的南方悲剧和帕特里克·怀特的澳大利亚开拓者的最佳决定以及挫败,有着的深刻理解,我们能够衡量出他们在阅读过程中收获有多大吗?文学扩展我们生活圈的功能,本身就是十分重要的。此外,社会问题也可以在文学作品中得到解决。政治领导人的自负野心——对法律的蔑视——在伯恩斯坦和伍德沃德的作品中首次没有出现;充满了罪恶的问题和最终行动,并没有受到20世纪心理分析学家的责难。联邦法官勒恩德·汉德曾写道,“我宁愿相信评判宪法中的问题,与认识苏维切德、吉本、凯雷、荷马、但丁、莎士比亚、弥尔顿、蒙田、拉伯雷、柏拉图、培根、休谟、康德,并阅读一些书,特别是相同专题的书同样重要。类似于这些事情,每件事都会转向处理这些问题的思想上”。但是,我们的反对者呢?我们能够克服反对的声音,接受他们的“生活体验教室”的学习理论吗?我们必须赞同——教育应该服务于提高自身和社会。我们必须通过教育让他们理解人类的经验应该延伸我们人类的官能,让我们全心全意地去学习。我们必须使他们相信——可能在他们自身的语言中——生活和艺术的“融合”;我们必须向他们证明,尽管分离,但是艺术仍然是生活的一部分,它照亮了我们的生活。

    D

    The changes in education aim to make the American children better prepared for the new world order.


    正确答案: D
    解析:
    最后一段:对美国孩子来说,教育上的所有这些改变意味着什么?一方面,他们表明了美国人的根本信念:我们的希望就在孩子们的身上,孩子们将塑造着我们的未来;另一方面,是通过教育这种根本的方法来影响孩子的发展。因此A项“美国的未来在孩子的身上”符合文章大意。故选A。B意为“因为美国人没有办法通过教育来影响孩子们,所以这些孩子们无法塑造国家的未来”。C意为“如果美国孩子们长大了一无是处,美国的未来赶不上苏联”,文章在此处没有写美苏的对比。D意为“教育上的所有改变都是为了使美国孩子们为世界新秩序做更好的准备”,文章没有提到这一点。

  • 第16题:

    It was a case of emergency.The four-year-old girl awoke and smelled smoke.She couldn't wake her mother,so she dialed"zero",An operator immediately called the fire department.Help was sent,and a tragedy avoided.
    Days before this emergency,the mother had taught her child how to telephone for help.Children as young as two and one-half years old can be taught to use the phone in emergency situations.Here are some points.
    Memorizing certain facts is important.Teach your children their names,and the section of town where you live.Try to keep what they learn within their abilities.Simple information,learned well,is better than difficult information only partly learned.
    Be sure your children know how to use the telephone.They should be taught to dial"zero"for the operator,at the very least.And they should be taught to dial"911"if it is used in your town.
    Practice over a period of several days.Over-learning is necessary so the child can act automatically in case of emergency.
    If you would like a booklet giving instructions on calling for help,write Telephone For Help,Box 99,Bowling Green Station,New York,NY 10004.

    From this passage,why is it a good idea for children to learn how to use the telephone?

  • 第20题:

    单选题
    What is the speaker’s attitude toward individualism?
    A

    Families and troops should not be influenced by individualism, which is very strong in our society.

    B

    We should nurture virtues like self-sacrifice, loyalty and love to phase out individualism.

    C

    Individualism is so strong in our society that it will replace virtues like self-sacrifice, loyalty and love even in families.

    D

    An individualistic society is not what we want, though it’s powerful.


    正确答案: D
    解析:
    观点态度题。录音中指出“It’s so easy for the powerful force of individualism to wash over and transform institutions—like family, religion and the military—that are supposed to be based on self-sacrifice, loyalty and love”,表明个人主义势力很强大,某些社会单位,如家庭、宗教组织和军队等很容易受其冲击和发生改变。而这些组织应该建立在自我牺牲、忠诚和爱的基础上的。由此可推测,讲话者认为虽然个人主义在社会中势头强大,家庭、军队等组织也不应受其影响。因此,选项A为正确答案。
    【录音原文】
    The larger, far more important point is that in a society as individualistic as ours, it’s especially important to protect and nurture the countervailing institutions. It’s so easy for the powerful force of individualism to wash over and transform institutions—like family, religion and the military—that are supposed to be based on self-sacrifice, loyalty and love.

  • 第21题:

    单选题
    Virtual reality can help future teachers learn how to _____.
    A

    assess students’ skill levels

    B

    respond to individual student’s needs

    C

    deal with students who misbehave

    D

    run an orderly classroom


    正确答案: D
    解析:
    细节题。题干问的是“虚拟现实可以帮助未来的教师学到什么”。原文第三段最后一句说到:And it is expected that future teachers will be exposed to virtual classes, complete with “difficult students” to help them master behavior management techniques.由此可知,“difficult students”指的是“调皮捣蛋的学生”,因此C选项正确。A选项的“如何评估学生的技能水平”和B选项的“如何满足个体学生的需求”在文中均没有提到;D选项“如何使教室有秩序(地进行教学)”与文中第三段中“with behavior disorders”不符,也可排除。因此本题的正确答案为C。

    正确答案: D
    解析:
    文章第三段第一句提到“The classroom teacher in the elementary school is in a strategic position to influence attitudes.”(小学老师在影响孩子态度方面处于关键性的位置),由此可推断出小学生的态度主要受到他们老师的影响,故答案选D。文中没有提及与A、B和C项相关的内容。
