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.

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.

安徽工程大学《大学英语四》（重修）练习五《大学英语四》（重修）练习五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.Passage1On October12,1989,some Chinese scientists were working at the computers to look for the information they needed.Suddenly they saw a lot of very bright spots crossing the computer’s screens.At the same moment the computers were working much slower.To find out what was happening they stopped their work to look over some parts of the computers.To their surprise, they found out that most of their stored information was got rid of by computer viruses(病毒)!It’s c lear that all these computers had been infected(传染)by computer viruses.It is said that the computer viruses were made by a group of young men interested in playing tricks.They all had a lot of computer knowledge.They made the viruses just to show their cleverness.This kind of computer viruses is named Jerusalem Viruses.These viruses can stay in computer for a long time.When the time comes they will hit the computers by lowering the functions,breaking their usual programs or even getting rid of all the information.We now come to know that Jerusalem Viruses often hit computers on Friday and that they are visiting a lot of computers.Among the countries that had computer viruses last year are Britain, Australia,Switzerland and the US.But till now,how to get rid of the terrible viruses is still a problem.1.On October12,1989,some Chinese scientists operated the computers to_____.A.repair some parts of themB.get rid of the very bright spotsC.look for Jerusalem VirusesD.look for what they wanted2.The group of young men made the viruses to.A.break all the computersB.tell people they hated computersC.show they were cleverD.get more knowledge about computers3.Which of the following is the most serious result by the viruses?A.The computer’s functions are lowered.B.The usual programs are got rid of.C.Some parts of the computer are broken.D.All the information in the computer is missing.4.When a computer is infected with the viruses,it will.A.stop workingB.no longer be usefulC.not work as usualD.not keep the information for long5.According to the passage,computer viruses seem to be.A.in any computerB.difficult to get rid ofC.easy to makeD.on computer’s screensPassage2If you are like most people,your intelligence various from season.You are probably a lot sharper in the spring than you areat any other time of year.A noted scientist,Ellsworth Huntington(1876-1947),concluded from other men’s work and his own among the people in different climates that climate and temperature have a definite effect on our mental abilities.He found that cool weather is much more favorable for creative thinking than in summer heat. 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 throughout the year.B.various from day to day.C.changes with seasonsD.changes from year to year.2.Ellsworth Huntington decides that climate and temperature have_______.A.a great effect on everyone’s intelligence.B.some effect on most people’s intelligence.C.some effect on a few people’s intelligence.D.no effect on most people’s intelligence.3.Ellsworth Huntington’s conclusion was based 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 intelligence various from place to placeC man should take a long vacation in summerD if you want to do creative thinking,go to a cool placePart II.Structure(虚拟语气)1.The result has turned still worse
