(para. 2-4)Supporting evidenceA. Teachers called on males in class far more than on female students. (para 2)i) Its consequence: This has a tremendous impact on the learning process.ii) The reason for this: Active classroom participants develop more positive attitudesand go on to higher achievement.iii) Two examples:a. In many of the former all-women’s colleges, the boys were taking over theclass-room discussions and active participation by women students had diminished noticeably.b. A similar subordination of female to male students has also been observed in law and medical school classrooms in recent years.B. Teachers assigned boys and girls different tasks according to stereotyped gender roles. (para. 3)i) Its consequence: This prevented girls from participating as actively as boys in class. ii) An example: A teacher had the little boys perform the scientific experiment while the girls were given the task of putting the materials away.C. Gender-biased educ ation is also reflected in the typical American teacher’ assumption. (para 4)i) The assumption: Boys will do better in the hard, masculine subjects of math and science while girls are expected to have better verbal and reading skills.ii) Three examples:a. American boys do develop reading problems, while girls, who are superior to boys in math up to the age of nine, fall behind from then on.b. In Germany, all studies are considered masculine and it is girls who develop reading problems.c. In Japan, where early education appears to be nonsexist, both girls and boys do equally well in reading.(3) The educational bias begins at home. (para 5)A. Supporting evidence:i) Boy preschoolers were permitted to go away from home in a much wider area than girl preschoolers.ii) Boys were encouraged to develop intellectual curiosity and physical skills, while girls are filled with fears of the world outside the home and with the desire to be approved of for their goodness and obedience to rules.B. The consequence when these lessons carry over from the home to the classroom: Girls are generally observed to be more dependent on the teacher, more concerned with the form and neatness of their work than its content, and more anxious about being right intheir answers than in being intellectually independent, analytical, or original.C. Conclusion: Through the educational process that occupies most of the child’s waking hours, society reinforces its established values and turns out each sex in its traditional and expected mold.Vocabulary1. 1) genetic 2) assign 3) noticeably 4) approved 5) Bias 6) deprived7) constituted 8) participation 9) unintentional 10) postgraduate2.conscious- unconsciousencourage- discouragedirectly- indirectlysexist – nonsexistdependent- independentpositive – negativesuperior - inferiorbiased – fairlimited – unlimitedappropriately- inappropriately3. 1) C 2) D 3) A 4) E 5) B 6) C 7) F 8) B4. 1) turn out2) carry over 3) calling on4) put away5) fallen behind6) take overunit4Reading Comprehension1. 1) Introduction(para 1)It is introduced in the article how teachers and parents can encourage creativity in children.2) An important strategy for parents and teachers to follow (para. 2-3)A.

The approach: Combining the basics with the activities where students mustuse their imaginations.B. How to do so: By asking questions and meanwhile praising their ideas and new thoughts.C.

安徽⼯程⼤学《⼤学英语四》（重修）练习三安徽⼯程⼤学《⼤学英语四》(重修)练习三《⼤学英语四》（重修）练习三Part I. Reading comprehensionDirections: There are two passages in this part. Each passage is followed by 5 questions, with four choices given for each question. Please decide on the best choice.Passage 1Of two difficulties in helping students become critical thinkers, the first is a common error about why students fail to become critical thinkers in the first place. The second is lack of a practical method for teaching critical thinking skills in the classroom. Both problems can be solved.Rather than merely presenting stimuli (刺激物) to students in the form of lectures, teachersuse many questions to have students “teach back” to the teacher in a questioning process that has seven steps. If, through Socraticquestioning, our students can repeat back to us any lesson as well as we would have otherwise told, lectured, or modeled for them, this suggests that the students themselves have done the thinking and learning.The following seven–step method may help develop stud ents’ critical thinking. In the first step, the teacher should ask students questions that have them find all the information on the page in front of them. In the second step, the teacher asks students questions to get them to compare all the pieces of information in the lesson. In the third step, the teacher asks students questions to help them classify the information in the lesson they have just compared for similarities and differences. In the fourth step, the teacher asks students questions to get them to understand what the instructions ask them to do. In step five, the teacher asks students questions to get them to provide reasonable answers. In step six, the teacher asks students to use the skill or knowledge in new ordifferent situations. In step seven, the teacher asks students to summarize the lesson once again.In the instructional approach just described, we stress seven learning skills students need to acquire to make the content they are taught in school meaningful. The seven-step critical thinking process shows teachers how to ask student questions, beginning with the main idea and progressing through the process of the seven steps. A process of Socratic questioning can be one important part of an instructional solution that will create a revolution in student learning aimed at the development of critical thinking skills.1. The best subject of the passage is _____________.A. The Creation of Main IdeasB. Why Students Fail to Become Critical ThinkersC. Ways of Exciting Students in the Form ofLecturesD. Seven Steps to Teach Critical Thinking2. The seven steps stated in the passage ________.A. are of no importance to teachersB. aim to teach students to think criticallyC. are used to explain details to studentsD. prevent students from thinking individually3. Which of the following statements about the seven-step method is Not true?A. Teachers need students’ active feedback during class.B. The seven steps focus on questioning students on learning skills.C. The creation of main idea is the first of the seven steps.D. The seven steps help students to do the thinking by themselves.4. To seek similarities and differences among all information is ____________.A. the first stepB. the third stepC. the fifth stepD. the seventh step5. Which of the following is the most suitable phrase to describe the seven – step method?A. Usual approachB. Unpractical solutionC. Theory guidingD. Instructional techniquePassage2“Life begins at forty” is more often an expression of hope than a statement of facts. But it has the ring of truth for a group of woman at the University of Pittsburgh whose professional lives are really just beginning. A woman, who used to be a housewife and is trying to get a Ph.D and teaching at the university, has received the highest student evaluation (评价) in the university history.A mother of forty, who never had a policy-making position in her part-time work, is now a director in the department of planning for the city of Pittsburgh.

D” is _______.A. a large amount of moneyB. a college degreeC. a high position in the officeD. a high rank in the government4. Who has the right to make a policy?A. A woman in her part-time work.B.

This does not mean that all people are less intelligent in summer than they are during the rest of the year.It does mean,however,that the mental abilities of large numbers of people tend to be lowest in summer.Spring appears to be the best period of the year for thinking.One reason may be that in the spring man’s mental abilities are affected by the same factors that bring about great changes in all nature.Fall is the next–best season,then winter.As for summer,it seems to be a good time to take a long vacation from thinking.1.According to the passage,man’s intelligence_______.A.stays the same

on______A.variations of his own mental abilities from season to season.B.the results of research done by him and other scientists among people in different climates.C.detailed records of temperature changes in different places.D.detailed records of different ways of thinking among peoples in different climates.4.Why does the author say summer is a good time to take a long vacation from thinking?A.because a long vacation in summer helps to improve people’s mental power.B.because people tend to be less creative during summer.C.because summer is a good time for outdoor activities.D.because mental exertion in the summer heat taxes too much of people’s energy.5.The central idea of this passage is_________.A man’s mental abilities change from season to seasonB man’s

AIf humans pump enough carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere, the stratocumulus clouds(层积云) could disappear, and the earth's temperature could climb sharply to heights not predicted in current climate models. It would burn the planet. That's the conclusion of a paper published in the journal Nature Geoscience and described in detail by Natalie Wolchover for Quanta Magazine.As Wolchover explained, clouds have long been one of the great uncertainties of climate models. Computer models that easily capture the complexity and detail of most climate systems just aren't powerful enough to predict worldwide changes in cloud behavior. But clouds are important. They reflect sunlight away from the earth's surface. And stratocumulus clouds are those white blankets you might have seen as you looked out the window of arm airplane, rolling out below you and hiding the ground Researchers suspect that certain sudden, past jumps intemperature may have been caused by changes to clouds like these.For the new research, scientists modeled just a small patch of sky using a supercomputer. Array They found that if carbon dioxide levels reach about 1, 200 parts per million(ppm) in the atmosphere, stratocumulus clouds break up. That's a very high carbon dioxide concentration. Right now, levels have climbed past 410 ppm--a dangerous change from 280 ppm before the Industrial Revolution.But humans put more and more CO2 into the atmosphere every year. If current trends continue, the earth could reach 1, 200 ppm within 100 to 150 years. This could happen if our society doesn't follow through on any of its commitments to reduce emissions(排放), Wolchover reported. And even if it does, the result would be another 8 degrees Celsius of heat added to the global average, on top of the dangerous changes already underway due to greenhouse gases.That’s an enormous change, and it goes beyond predictions of worldwide ice melt and catastrophic sea level rise. And, once the stratocumulus clouds are gone, Wolchover reported, they likely wouldn't reappear until atmospheric carbon dioxide levels dropped below where they are currently.There's still some uncertainty in the data. The 1, 200 ppm figure could change as scientists look into the issue further.1、What can we learn from paragraph 2?A．Most climate systems are not complex.B．Cloud behavior is uncertain and hard to predict.C．Temperature changes affect the stratocumulus clouds.D．The stratocumulus clouds protect planes from sunlight.2、How did the scientists study clouds in the new research?A．By measuring the sea level.B．By experimenting in a natural state.C．By comparing climate models.D．By computer modeling and analyzing.3、What does "it" refer to in paragraph 4?A．The atmosphere.B．The earth.C．Our society.D．The result. Array 4、Which of the following statements would Wolchover most probably agree with?A．The effects of CO2 emissions have been fully assessed.B．The stratocumulus clouds won't return if they are gone.C．The breakup of stratocumulus clouds could result in catastrophes.D．Once CO2 level reaches 1, 200 ppm, stratocumulus clouds will go extinct.BFor the first time ever scientists prepare to set about a 3-year-long project，the Nekton Mission，to explore the Indian Ocean and document changes taking place beneath the waves that could affect the surrounding region over the coming decades.The ambitious exploration team will reach one of the last major unexplored frontiers on the planet，a vast body of water that’s already feeling the effects of global warming with rising water temperatures damaging its coral reefs(珊瑚礁).Understanding the Indian Ocean’s ecosystem is important not just for the species that live in it，but also for the 2.5 billion people living in the region.The Nekton Mission is supported by more than 40 organizations.Researchers will spend seven weeks surveying underwater life，map the sea floor，and drop sensors(传感器)to depths of up to 6，560 feet in the seas around the Seychelles.The Seychelles aims to become a leader in the development of a“blue economy”that draws on the resources of the ocean.It relies on fishing and tourism，but has lately also been exploiting oil and gas from beneath the sea floor.“Our ocean is undergoing rapid ecological transformation by human activities.The Nekton Mission is vital to help us better know our ocean space and resources to make wise decisions.Only when we know what we have in the ocean and what is its value call we properly decide what to exploit and what to leave untouched，”said Jumeau，the Seychelles’ambassador to the UN.The mission will conduct further dives in other parts of the Indian Ocean over three years.The researchers expect to discover new species and send videos to the world by satellite.The research will provide information for a summit(峰会)about the Indian Oceanplanned for late 2021.1、Why do the scientists plan to explore the Indian Ocean? Array A．To save the endangered creatures living in the sea.B．To discover the damage mankind has done to the ocean.C．To make the best use of the natural resources in the sea.D．To protect its species and people living around the region.2、Which is not included in the tasks to be carried out around the Seychelles?A．Drawing maps of the sea floor. B．Finding treasures under the sea. C．Putting sensors into the deep sea. D．Studying underwater life.3、What can be learned about the Nek-ton Mission?A．It will extend beyond the Indian Ocean.B．It will benefit a lot from“blue economy”.C．It will contribute to the 2021 conference.D．It will find solutions to global warming.4、What can be a suitable title fur the text?A．Scientists Are to Explore the Indian OceanB．The Seychelles Aims to Build a“Blue Economy”C．Effects of Global Warming on Marine EcosystemD．Indian Ocean:the Last Unexplored Frontier on the Planet第三部分语言知识运用（共两节）第一节（每小题1分，满分20分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项．I stood on my grandmother's front porch with my son. He had a bottle of bubbles. You know the 1 : it’s basically soa py water with a plastic loop on each end. You dip the loop in the bottle, pull it out, and blow it to make bubbles. My son understood the principle but was2 trying to blow bubbles. He3 dip and dip and blow and blow, but alas, no bubbles. He4 me the bottle and loop and asked me, “Daddy, can you make bubbles?”I hadn’t blown bubbles in years. I am a 5 by education, fairly well-trained in surfactant(活性剂) technology. I have 6 several shampoos, so I understand surface tension and related foaming(发泡沫)characteristics of surfactants. All that knowledge is 7 useless when trying to blow bubbles from a loop 8 with soapy water. I was having no9 success than my son. I dipped and puffed, still no bubbles; the soapy film on the loop would just pop without 10 any bubbles.After several fruitless 11 ,1 changed strategies. 12 puffing on the loop ofsoapy water, I gently 13 on it. My son screamed with delight as a big beautiful bubbleformed and 14 away. He grabbed the loop, dipped and blew. No bubbles. I 15 to Array him, “Son, you can’t blow hard. You must ever so gently breathe on the loop to make bubbles.” He contained his urgent 16 to make big bubbles by blowing hard and 17 my advice. Big bubbles.There are some things that you can get with 18 force, but other things like love or respect only 19 the gentleness of a soft breath.

安徽工程大学《大学英语四》（重修）练习一《大学英语四》（重修）练习一Part I.Reading comprehensionDirections:There are two passages in this part.Each passage is followed by5questions,with four choices given for each question.Please decide on the best choice.Passage1Many teachers believe that the responsibility for learning lies with students.If a long reading assignment is given,instructors expect students to be familiar with the information in the reading even if they do not discuss it in class or give an examination.(Courses are not designed merely for students to pass exams).The ideal student is considered to be one who is encouraged to learn for the purpose of learning,,not the one interested only in getting high grades.Some students may be frustrated with teachers who do not believe it is necessary to grade every assignment.Sometimes homework is returned with short written comments but without a grade.Even if a grade is not given,students should learn the material assigned.When research is assigned,the professor expects students to begin and to complete the assignment with minimum instruction.It is the student’s responsibility to find books and articles in the library.Professors do not have the time to explain how a university library works;they expect students,especially graduate students,to be able to find what they need in the library.Professors will help students who need it,but prefer that their students not depend on them too much.This is different from teacher-student relationships in other countries.In the United States,Professors have other duties in addition to teaching.Oftenthey do some administrative works within their departments.In addition,they may be required to write articles and books. Therefore,the time that a professor can spend with a student outside of class is limited.If a student has problems with classroom work,the student should either ask a professor for help during office hours or make an appointment(预约).1.What does the author mean by saying that“Courses are not designed merely for students topass exams”?A.Students study hard only for exams.B.Teachers think it necessary for their students to fail exams.C.Teachers think that the only purpose of studying hard is to pass exams.D.The purpose of designing courses is not only for passing exams.2.According to the2nd paragraph,students in the United States should_______.A.depend more on themselves than on professors.B.plan their time and sequence their work.C.always follow the professor s’adviceD.find a suitable place for studying3.If students need the advice of their teachers,they should_______.A.put forward their questions in classB.go to their teachers’officeC.find some excuses to see teachers at homeD.turn to their teachers during the break4.Students who_______in the United States are considered good ones.A.pay more attention to good scoresB.have the desire to learn by themselvesC.are good at learning by heartD.know much about computers5.American professors may be required to spend more of their time_______A.knowing what is on their students’mindB.helping students finish their assignmentsC.writing articlesD.instructing students’researchPassage2In the traditional marriage,the man worked at a job to earn money for the family.Most men worked in an office,a factory,or some other places away from home.Since the man earned the money,he paid the bills.The money was used for food,clothes,the house,and other family needs. The man made most of the decisions.He was the boss.In the traditional marriage,the woman seldom worked away from the house.She stayed at home to care for the children and her husband.She cooked meals,cleaned the house,washed the clothes,and did other housework.Her job at home was very important.In recent years,many couples continue to have a traditional relationship of the kind.The man has a job and earns the money for the family.The woman stays at home and cares for the children and the house.Many Americans are happy with the kind of marriage.But some other Americans have a different impression of marriage and family responsibilities.There are two important differences in male and female roles now.One is that both men and women have many more choices.They may choose to marry or to stay single.They maychoose to work or stay at home.Both men and women may choose roles that are comfortable for them.A second difference in male and female roles is that within marriage many decisions and responsibilities are shared.The husband and wife may choose to have children,or they may not.If they have children,the man may take care of them some of the time,all of the time or not at all. The woman may want to stay at home and take care of the children.Or she may want to go to work.Men and women now decide these things together in a marriage.Many married people now share these decisions and the responsibilities of their families.1.Which of the following is NOT true in the traditional marriage?A.Men worked at a job to earn money for the family.B.The women made most of decisions.C.The woman stayed at home to care the children.D.The man paid the bills.2.In recent years________A.young couples abandoned the traditional relationship.B.the woman has a job and earns the money for the family.C.the woman doesn't stay at home and care for the children and the house.D.the role of men and women has begun to change.3.Men and women may now choose all the following except to_______.A.marry or to stay singleB.work or stay at homeC.leave their jobs just because they have childrenD.have their roles that are comfortable for them4.The following are all now true except__________.A.they may choose to have children or notB.the man may take care of the children some of the time.C.the woman is the most important person in the houseD.the woman may want to go to work5.Which of the following is not true?A.Everyone tries to get married.B.The man was the boss in the traditional marriage.C.The woman's job at home was very important in the past.D.Many Americans

(para. 2-4)Supporting evidenceA.Teachers called on males in class far more than on female students. (para 2)i)Its consequence: This has a tremendous impact onthe learning process.ii)The reason for this: Active classroom participants develop more positive attitudesand go on to higher achievement.iii)Two examples:a. In many of the former all- women’s colleges, the boys were taking over the class-room discussions and active participation by women students had diminished noticeably.b. A similar subordination of female to male studentshas also been observed in law and medical school classroomsin recent years.B.Teachers assigned boys and girls different tasksaccording to stereotyped gender roles. (para. 3)i)Its consequence: This prevented girls from participatingas actively as boys in class.ii)An example: A teacher had the little boys perform the scientific experiment while the girls were given the task of putting the materials away.C. Gender-biased education is also reflected in the typical American teacher ’ assumption. (para 4)i)The assumption: Boys will do better in the hard, masculine subjects of math and science while girls are expected to have better verbal and reading skills.ii)Three examples:a.American boys do develop reading problems, while girls, who are superior to boys in math up to the age of nine, fall behind from then on.b.In Germany, all studies are considered masculine andit is girls who develop reading problems.c. In Japan, where early education appears to be nonsexist, both girls and boys do equally well in reading.(3)The educational bias begins at home. (para 5)A. Supporting evidence:i)Boy preschoolers were permitted to go away from home in a much wider area than girl preschoolers.ii)Boys were encouraged to develop intellectualcuriosity and physical skills, while girls are filled with fears of theworld outside the home and with the desire to be approved of fortheir goodness and obedience to rules.B.The consequence when these lessons carry over fromthe home to the classroom: Girls are generally observed to bemore dependent on the teacher, more concerned with the formand neatness of their work than its content, and more anxiousabout being right in their answers than in being intellectually independent, analytical, or original.C. Conclusion: Through the educational process that occupiesmost of the child ’swaking hours, society re inforces its established values and turns out each sex in its traditional and expected mold.2CBDBCDVocabulary1. 1) genetic 2) assign 3) noticeably 4) approved 5) Bias6) deprived 7) constituted 8) participation 9) unintentional 10) postgraduate2. conscious –unconscious positive –negativeencourage –discourage superior –inferiordirectly –indirectly biased–fairsexist–nonsexist limited –unlimiteddependent–independent appropriately–inappropriately3. 1) C 2) D 3) A 4) E 5) B6) C 7) F 8) B4. 1) turn out 2) carry over 3) calling on 4) put away 5) fallen behind 6) take overUnit 4Reading Comprehension1. 1) Introduction(para 1)It is introduced in the article how teachers and parents can encouragecreativity in children.2)An important strategy for parents and teachers tofollow (para. 2-3)A.

These isolated locations appeal to travelers who want to get close tO nature because they are tired of stressful city life．Other people who can afford neither the time nor the money for travel will stay at home，watching TV , going to the movies or concerts，or inviting some friends over for a party·Children like to go to the park，play computer games，and participate in sports．Young women like to go shopping while young men prefer to stay at home，watching TV and drinking tea.The popularity of pastimes varies according to age，sex，personality and financial situations. Whatever one’s pastime is。

《大学英语四》（重修）练习四.Part I. Reading comprehensionDirections: There are two passages in this part. Each passage is followed by 5 questions, with four choices given for each question .Please decide on the best choice.Passage 1Television, the modern wonder of electronics, brings the world into your own home in sight and sound. And the word “television” means seeing far.Television works in much the same way as radio. In radio, sound is changed into electromagnetic waves which are sent through the air. Experiments leading to modern television took place more than a hundred years ago. By the 1920s inventors and researches had turned the early theories into working models. Yet it took another thirty years for TV to become industry. The influence of TV on the life of the people is incalculable: it can influence their thoughts and their way of life. It can also add to their store of knowledge. Educational TV stations offer teaching in various subjects. Some hospitals use TV for medical students to get close-up views of operations. At first television programs were broadcast in black-and-white. With the development of science and technology, the problem of how to telecast them in full color was solved and by the middle 1960s the national networks were broadcasting most of their programs in color.The programs that people watch are not only local and national ones. Since the launching of the first communications satellite, more and more programs are telecast “live” from all over the world. People in San Francisco were able to watch the 1964 Olympic Games in Tokyo. And live telecasts now come from outer space. In 1969, the first astronauts to land on the moon televised their historic “moon walk” to viewers on the earth. Since then, astronauts have regul arly sent telecast to the earth.1. The launching of communications satellites made it possible for people in SanFrancisco to _________A.get close-up views of operationsB.store knowledgeC.watch the 1964 Olympic Games in TokyoD.watch national programs2. The development of science and technology made it possible for television programs to ______.A.be telecast in full colorB. be telecast in San FranciscoC. be telecast in TokyoD.be telecast in blank-and –white3. The word …incalculable‟ means______A.easy to tellB. very greatC. difficult to tellD. very small4. Television is said to be the modern wonder of electronics, because ________.A.it influences people‟s way of lifeB.it makes people see farC.it brings the world into people‟s ow n home in sight and soundD.it works as radio5. Television became an industry in_____A.1950B. the 1960sC. the 1920sD. the 1950sPassage 2It has been thought and said that Africans are born with musical talent. Because music is so important in the lives of many Africans and because so much music is performed in African, we are inclined to think that all Africans are musicians. The impression is strengthened when we look at ourselves and find that we have become largely a society of musical spectators （旁观者）. Music is important to us, but most of us can be considered consumers rather than producers of music. We have records, television, concerts, and radio to fulfill many of our musical needs. In most situations where music is performed in our culture, it is not difficult to distinguish the audience from the performers, but such is often not the case in Africa. Alban Ayipapa，Kasena semiprofessional musician from northern Ghana, says that when his flute and drum ensemble is performing, “an ybody can take part in.” This is true, but Kasena musicians recognize that not all people are equally capable of taking part in the music. Some can sing along with the drummers but relatively few can drum and even few can play the flute along with the ensemble. It is fairly common in Africa for there to be an ensemble of expert musicians surrounded by others who join in by clapping, singing, or somehow adding to the totality of musical sound. Performances often take place in an open area (that is, not on the stage) and so the lines between the performing nucleus and the additional performers, active spectators , and passive spectators may be difficult to draw from our point of view .1 The difference between us and Africans, as far as music is concerned, is that _________.A. most of us are consumers while most of them are producers of music.B. We are musical performers and they are semiprofessional musicians.C. Most of us are passive spectators while they are active spectators.D. We are the audience and they are the additional performers.2. The word “such “( line 8 ) refers to the fact that ________.A. music is performed with the participation of the audience.B. music is performed without the participation of the audience.C. People tend to distinguish the audience from the performersD. People have records, television sets and radio to fulfill their musical instruments.3. The author of the passage implies that ____________.A. all Africans are musical and therefore much music is performed in AfricaB. not all Africans are born with musical talent although music is important in their lives.C. most Africans are capable of joining in the music by playing musical instruments.D. most Africans perform as well as professional musicians.4. The word “nucleus” (Line17) probably refers to ________.A. musicians famous in Africa;B. musicians at the center of attentionC. musicians acting as the core in a performanceD. active participants in a musical performance5. The best title for this passage would be__________A. The Importance of Music to African peopleB. Differences Between African Music and Music of Other countriesC. The Relationship between Musicians and Their AudienceD. A Characteristic Feature of African Musical PerformancesPart II. Structure(虚拟语气)1.
