第1题
by memory of all the basic things one must know is a most incredible and unending effort. School is not easy and it is not for the most part very much fun, but then, if you are very lucky, you may find a real teacher. Three teachers in a lifetime are the very best of my luck. My first was a science and math teacher in high school, my second, a professor of creative writing at Stanford, and my third was my friend and partner, ED Rickets.
I have to believe that a great teacher is a great artist and that three are as few as there are any other great artists. It might even be the greatest of the arts since the medium is the human mind and spirit.
My three teachers had these things in common: They all loved what they were doing; they did not tell, but stimulated a burning desire to know. Under their influence, the horizons sprang wide and fear went away and the unknown became knowable.
I shall speak only of my first teacher because in addition to the other things, she brought discovery. She aroused us to shouting, book-waving discussions. She had the noisiest class in school and she did not even seem to know it. We could never stick to the subject. Our speculation (思绪) ranged the world. She breathed curiosity into us so that we brought in facts or truths shielded in our hands like captured fireflies (萤火虫).
She was fired, and perhaps rightly so, for failing to teach fundamentals. Such things must be learned. But she left a passion in us for the pure knowable world and she inflamed me with a curiosity which has never left. I have had many teachers who told me soon-forgotten facts but only three who created in me a new attitude a new hunger. What deathless power lies in the hands of such a person？
21. In the writer’s opinion, school life is usually .
A. exciting B. interesting C. tiresome D. challenging
22. We can infer from Paragraph 2 that .
A. it is easy to find great artists as well as great teachers.
B. there are few great teachers but many great artists.
C. the greatest artists are not easy to find; nor are the greatest teachers.
D. being a great teacher is a great art to learn because teachers spread knowledge.
23. In the writer’s opinion, a good teacher should .
A. teach students the fundamental things
B. stick to one subject and be strict with students
C. teach students the knowledge ranging the world
D. arouse students’ curiosity and desire for the world
24. The writer’s first teacher was dismissed mainly because .
A. her class was the noisiest in school
B. she did not teach basic knowledge in class
C. she let students shout and wave books in class
D. she did not know how to teach basic knowledge effectively
25. What is the best title of this article？
A. The Teachers in My Life B. How to Become a Teacher
C. What to Teach at School D. What Makes a Good Teacher
第2题
Questions are based on the following passage.
Despite a cooling of the economy， high technology companies are still crying out for
skilled workers. The Information Technology Association of America projects that morethan 800，000 technology jobs will go unfilled next year. The lack of qualified workers pos-es a huge threat to the US economy.
The most commonly cited reason for this state of affairs is that the country"s agrarian-age education system， separated from the needs of the business world， fails to prepare stu-dents in the primary and secondary grades for twenty-first-century work. Yet an inadequateand outmoded education system is only part of the problem. A less tangible but equallypowerful cause is an antique classification system that divides the workforce into twocamps: white-collar knowledge workers and blue-collar manual labourers.
Blue-collar workers emerged in the United States during the Industrial Age as work mi-grated from farms to factories. White-collar office workers became a significant class in thetwentieth century， outnumbering their blue-collar brethren by mid-century. But the whiteor blue paradigm has clearly outlived its utility. Corporations increasingly require a newlayer of knowledge worker: a highly skilled multi-disciplinarian who combines the mindof the white-collar worker with the hands of the blue-collar employee. Armed with a solidgrounding in mathematics and science （physics， chemistry， and biology）， these "gold-collar"workers —— so named for their contributions to their companies and to the economy， as wellas for their personal earning ability —— apply that knowledge to technology. Of course， thegold-collar worker already exists in a wide range of jobs across a wide range of businesses:think of the maintenance technician who tests and repairs aircraft systems at American Air-lines; the network administrator who manages systems and network operations at P&G; theadvanced-manufacturing technician at Intel.
But until American business recognises these people as a new class of worker， onewhose collar is neither blue nor white， demands that schools do a better job of preparingemployees for the twenty-first-century workforce will be futile.
What effects may the insufficiency of qualified workers have， according to the passage？ 查看材料
A.It decreases the costs of high technology companies.
B.It emphasises the importance of unfilled jobs.
C.It hinders the development of the US economy.
D.It accelerates the collapse of the old education system.

Descriptive statistics involves tabulating, depicting, and describing collections of data. These data may be either quantitative,such as measures of height, intelligence, or grade level variables that are characterized by an underlying continuum-or the data may represent qualitative variables, such as sex, college major, or personality type. Large masses of data must generally undergo a process of summarization or reducing to comprehensibly form. the properties of an otherwise unwieldy mass of data.
Inferential statistics is a formalized body of methods for solving another class of problems that present great difficulties for the unaided human mind. This general class of problems characteristically involves attempts to make predictions using a sample of observations. For example, a school superintendent wishes to determine the proportion of children in a large school system who come to school without breakfast, have been vaccinated for flu, or whatever. Having a little knowledge of statistics, the superintendent would know that it is unnecessary and inefficiency to question each child; the proportion for the entire district could be estimated fairly accurately from a sample of as few as 100 children. Thus, the purpose of inferential statistics is to predict or estimate characteristics of a population from a knowledge of the characteristics of only a sample of the population.
What is the passage mainly concerned with？
A．Development and application of statistics.
B．Origin of descriptive statistics.
C．Limitations of inferential statistics.
D．Importance of statistics.

W: Oh, sorry to miss you, but my thirst for knowledge was greater than my pangs of hunger.
M: I never had that problem. So where were you？
W: My political science class ran overtime.
M: That's been happening quite a bit lately, hasn't it？
W: I guess so. Actually what happens is that a bunch of us hung around for a while after class to talk with our professor and ask him questions.
M: Who is this 20th century Socrates？
W: Professor Hall. Have you heard of him？
M: Mm. He does have a good reputation in the Political Science Department.
W: And a well-deserved one. The same students who fall asleep in discussion groups and in seminars fight for front-row seats in his lectures.
M: Oh, no. I hope this isn't catching.
W: You can joke. But it's great to have a professor who is not only interesting but prepares to give up time for students.
M: I know. There I really agreed. Maybe I should sit in on his class sometime. Do you think he'd care？
W: Not at all. Lots of students bring along their friends and he says he feels flattered.
M: Well, just to be safe, I think I'll bring my lunch along as well.
W: I'll make a good student of you yet.

A．In the late rooming.
B．Immediately after lunch.
C．In the mid-afternoon.

第6题
Most Asian-American students owe their success to the influence of parents who are determined that their children take full advantage of what the American educational system has to offer. An effective measure of parental attention is homework. Asian parents spend more time with their children than American parents do, and it helps. Many researchers also believe there is something in Asian Culture that breeds success, such ideals that stress family values and emphasize education.
Both explanations for academic success worry Asian Americans because of fears that they feed a typical racial (种族的) image. Many can remember when Chinese, Japanese and Filipino immigrants (移民) were the victims of social isolation. Indeed, it was not until 1952 that laws were laid down giving all Asian immigrants the right to citizenship.
第31题：While making tremendous achievements at college, Asian-American students ________.
A) feel they are mistreated because of limited knowledge of English
B) are afraid that their academic successes bear a strong Asian character
C) still worry about unfair treatment in society
D) generally feel it a shame to have to depend on their parents

These fairly common uses of technology in the higher education classroom, however, still do not capitalize on the real power of technology to make available real-world situations, aid visualization, facilitate collaborative activity among students, support analysis and synthesis of information, simulate complex environments, and provide continual feedback. These "deeper" uses of technology require conceptualizing the teaching and learning process in a different way and envisioning new instructional approaches that might assist students in attaining course goals.
Educational research reveals that new knowledge grows out of the process of relating new ideas to what we already know and exploring the interrelationships among ideas; new knowledge is not transmitted but is created by the learner. Also, knowledge is constructed by learners as they attempt to make sense out of their experiences and test their own understanding against that of others, notably those of teachers or more advanced peers. Technology can enhance learning by fostering the active processing and application of new ideas and by providing opportunities for students to engage in dialogue about ideas with their peers outside of class time.
Subsequent research at Western Michigan University also highlighted the importance of these factors. Faculty members on that campus were surveyed to identify factors that might influence the use of new instructional technologies. The most important factor identified was the need to be certain that technology would enhance student learning. Other important social factors were compatibility (兼容性) with the disciplines, advantages over traditional instruction, increased student interest, information on materials in the discipline, compatibility with existing course materials, and support from higher administration, chairpersons, and deans. Faculty were also asked to rate the importance of various incentives to use technology. Not surprisingly, released time, student and clerical support, and stipends were important incentives. In addition, however, faculty noted the importance of knowing that their efforts would contribute to promotion and tenure(任期) and would be recognized by the university community.
From the first paragraph, we can infer that ______.
A．only 44.4% faculty are comfortable using word processing programs and e-mail
B．36% faculty are comfortable using desktop computing and information technology
C．most faculty are familiar with information technology and the use of it is on the rise
D．technology in higher education has penetrated into every discipline

Besides, it is rattier unrealistic to grade people just according to their intellectual ability. This is only one aspect of their total personality. We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full, not just their academic ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning.
In our classrooms, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups: this gives them tile opportunity to learn how to cooperate, to share, and to develop leadership skills. They also learn how to cope with personal problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to analyze and evaluate, and to communicate effectively. The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teacher.
Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes they work on individual tasks and assignments, and they can do this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this efficiently. An advanced pupil call do advanced work: it does not matter what age the child is. We expect our pupils lo do their best, not their least, and we give them every encouragement to achieve this goal.
What does the author mean by "held back" (Line 1, Para. 1 ) ？
A．Made to stay in the same class.
B．Obliged to study in the lower class.
C．Prevented from advancing.
D．Concentrated on their studies.
第10题
Lawyers can specialize in “elder law,” which covers everything from trusts and estates to nursing-home abuse and age discrimination (歧视). Businessmen see huge opportunities in the elder market because the baby boomers, 74 million strong, are likely to be the wealthiest group of retirees in human history. “Any student who combines an expert knowledge in gerontology with, say, an MBA or law degree will have a license to print money,” one professor says.
Margarite Santos is a 21-year-old senior at USC. She began college as a biology major but found she was “really bored with bacteria.” So she took a class in gerontology and discovered that she lied it. She says, “I did volunteer work in retirement homes and it was very satisfying.”
第31题：“... Old is suddenly in” (Line 1, Para. 1) most probably means “________”.
A) America has suddenly become a nation of old people
B) gerontology has suddenly become popular
C) more elderly professors are found on American campuses
D) American colleges have realized the need of enrolling older students
第11题
听力原文：W: Professor Wilson, can you spare me a few minutes？
M: That's OK. Actually, I'm on my way to an appointment with students, so please make this quick.
W: My name is Maria Taylor, and I'm in your Psychology class at 2:00.
M: Oh, yes. I recall now. You always ask good questions about the lectures. What can I do for you now？
W: You say in your lecture last week that IQ changes little from childhood, but the skills of emotional intelligence can be learned at any age.
M: Right, it's not easy, however. You know, growing your emotional intelligence takes practice and commitment and improving your emotional intelligence takes time, say, several months.
W: Why do you say improving an emotional intelligence takes months rather than days？
M: Well, you know, the emotional centers of the brain are involved.
W: The emotional centers of the brain？
M: Yes. The thinking brain learns technical skills and purely cognitive abilities. It gains knowledge very quickly, but the emotional brain does not.
W: Why？
M: Because to master a new behavior, the emotional centers need repetition and practice.
W: So it takes time.
M: Yes. Improving your emotional intelligence, then, is similar to changing your habits. You have to change your old habits and replace them with the new ones.
W: Oh, I see. And another question I want to ask you is. can we say emo tional intelligence is the opposite of IQ？
M: No. You know some people are blessed with a lot of both while some with little of either. What we are doing now is trying to find out how they complement each other.
