A
Driving to a friend's house on a recent evening, I was attracted by the sight of the full moon rising just above my friend’s rooftops. I stopped to watch it for a few moments, thinking about what a pity it was that most city people, myself included, usually miss sights like this because we spend most of our lives indoors.
My friend had also seen it. He grew up living in a forest in Europe, and the moon meant a lot to him then. It had touched much of his life.
I know the feeling. Last December I took my seven-year-old daughter to the mountainous jungle of northern India with some friends. We stayed in a forest rest-house with no electricity or running hot water. Our group had campfires (篝火) outside every night, and indoors when it was too cold outside. The moon grew to its fullest during our trip. Between me and the high mountains lay three or four valleys. Not a light shone in them and not a sound could be heard. It was one of the quietest places I have ever known, a bottomless well of silence. And above me was the full moon, which struck me deeply.
Today our lives are filled with glass, metal, plastic and fibre-glass. We have televisions, cell phones, pagers, electricity, heaters, ovens , air-conditioners, cars and computers.
Struggling through traffic that evening at the end of a tiring day, most of it spent indoors, I thought: before long, I would like to live in a small cottage. There I will grow vegetables and read books and walk in the mountains. I may become an old man there, wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled and measure out my life in coffee spoons. I will be able to walk outside on a cold silent night and touch the moon.
21. The best title for the passage would be______.
A. Touched by the moon
B. The pleasures of modern life
C. A bottomless well of silence
D. Break away from modern life
22. The writer felt sorry for himself because________.
A. there was too much pollution
B. he seldom enjoyed the fullest moon outsides
C. he didn’t adapt to modern inventions
D. there were too many accidents on the road
23. What impressed the writer most in the mountainous jungle of northern India?
A. No modern equipment
B. Complete silence.
C. The nice moonlight
D. The high mountains
24. Modern things (Paragraph 4) are mentioned mainly to______.
A. show that the writer likes city life very much
B. tell us that people greatly benefit from modern life
C. explain that people have fewer chances to enjoy nature
D. show that we can also enjoy nature at home through them
25. The author wrote the passage to_______.
A. express the feeling of returning to nature
B. show the love for the moonlight
C. advise modern people to learn to live
D. want to share the idea of longing for modern life
B
Thirteen vehicles (车辆) lined up last March to race across the Mojave Desert, seeking a million in prize money. To win, they had to finish the 142-mile race in less than 10 hours. Teams and watchers knew there might be no winner at all, because these vehicles were missing a key part—drivers.
DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, organized the race as part of a push to develop robotic vehicles for future battlefields, where a fight between two armies takes place. But the Grand Challenge, as it was called, just proved how difficult it is to get a car to speed across an unknown desert without human help. One had its brake (刹车) lock up in the starting area. Another began by throwing itself onto a wall. Another got tied up by bushes near the road after 1.9 miles.
One turned upside down. One took off completely in the wrong direction and had to be stopped by remote (远距离的) control. One went a little more than a mile and rushed into a fence; another managed to go for six miles but stuck on a rock. The “winner,” if there was any, reached 7.8 miles before it ran into a long hole, and the front wheels caught on fire.
“You get a lot of respect for natural abilities of the living things,” says Reinhold Behringer, who helped design two of the ear-sized vehicles for a company called Sci-Autonics, “Even ants can do all these tasks without any diffi culty. It’s very hard for us to put these abilities into our machines.”
Although the robotic vehicles had necessary modern equipment such as advanced (先进的) computers and GPS, they had difficulty working out fast enough the blocks (障碍) in front of them, which a two-year-old human recognizes immediately. Sure, that very young child, who has just only learned to walk, may not think to wipe apple juice off her face, but she already knows that when there’s a cookie in the kitchen she has to climb up the table, and that when she gets to the cookie it will taste good. She is more advanced, even months old, than any machine humans have designed.
26. Watchers doubted (怀疑) if any of the vehicles could finish the race because ____________.
A. they did not have any human help
B. the road was unknown to the drivers
C. the distance was too long for the vehicles
D. the prize money was unattractive to the drivers
27. DARPA organized the race in order to ____________.
A. raise money for producing more robotic vehicles
B. design two of the ear-sized vehicles for Sci-Autonics
C. train more people to drive in the desert
D. develop the robotic vehicles for future wars
28. From the passage we know “robotic vehicles” are a kind of machines that _________.
A. can do easily whatever tasks living things can
B. can take part in a race across 142 miles with a time limit
C. can display their ability to turn themselves upside down
D. can move from place to place without being driven by a human
29. In the race, the greatest distance one robotic vehicle covered was _________.
A. about eight miles
B. six miles
C. almost two miles
D. about one mile
30. In the LAST paragraph, the writer suggests that there is still a lot of work to do ________.
A. for a robotic vehicle to finish a 142-mile race without any difficulty
B. for a little child who has just learned to walk to reach the cookie on the table
C. for a robotic vehicle to deal with a simple problem that a little child can solve
D. for a little child to understand the importance of wiping apple juice off its face
C
Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time: if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s. In the same way, children learn to do all the other things they learn to do without being taught --- to walk , run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle --- compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes for himself, let alone (更不用说) correct them. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless he was made to. Soon he becomes dependent on the teacher. Let him do it himself. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.
If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such routine (常规的) work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can’t find the way to get the right answer. Let’s end all this nonsense of grades, exams and marks. Let us throw them all out, and let the children learn what all educated persons must some day learn: how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know.
Let them get on with this job in the way that seems most sensible (合情理的) to them, with our help as school teachers if they ask for it. The idea that there is a body of knowledge to be learnt at school and used for the rest of one’s life is nonsense(无意义的) in a world as complicated and rapidly changing as ours. Anxious parents and teachers say, “But suppose they fail to learn something essential (基本的), something they will need to get on in the world?” Don’t worry! If it is essential, they will go out into the world and learnt it.
31. What does the writer think is the best way for children to think?
A. By listening to their parents’ instructions.
B. By asking a great many questions.
C. By making mistakes and having them corrected.
D. By copying what other people do.
32. What does the writer think teachers should not do?
A. Give children correct answers.
B. Point out children’s mistakes to them.
C. Allow children to mark their own work.
D. Encourage children to copy one another.
33. According to the passage, learning to speak and learning to ride a bike are _____.
A. the most important skills
B. the basic skills children should master
C. almost the same as learning other skills
D. much different from learning other skills.
34. The writer thinks that children’s progress should only be estimated(评估) by ______.
A. the children themselves
B. their parents
C. their teachers
D. education authorities(权威)
35. The writer is afraid that children will grow up into adults who are ______.
A. too selfish
B. too independent
C. dependent and unable to use basic skills
D. able to think for themselves
