Questions 71 to 75 are based on the same passage or dialog.Ours is a big world, and full of many different people. People with many varying (不同的) points of view are often running up against others who have different opinions. Those of us who smoke are just one group of many. Recently, the activism (采取行动) of non-smokers has reminded us of the need to be considerate (体谅的) of others when we smoke in public.But, please! Enough is enough! We should like to remind non-smokers that being polite is a two-way street. If you politely request that someone not smoke you are more likely to receive an agreeable response than if you give an ugly look and say something unkind. If you speak directly to someone, you are more likely to get what you want than if you complain to the management.Many of us have been smoking for so long that we sometimes forget that others are not used to the smell of burning tobacco. We' re human, and like everyone else, we occasionally offend unknowingly. But most of us are open to friendly suggestions and comments, and quite willing to change our behavior to accommodate others.Smokers are people, too. We laugh and cry. We have hopes, dreams, and aspirations. We have children, mothers, and pets. We eat our hamburgers (汉堡包) with everything on them and give respect to the flag at Fourth of July picnics. We hope you'll remember that the next time a smoker light up in public.71. The purpose of the first paragraph is ______.A. to inform the reader of the bigness of the worldB. to declare that the author belongs to the group of smokersC. to tell non-smokers that smokers will be considerateD. to reveal the author's reason for writing this essay72. What does the second sentence in the second paragraph imply?A. We should go on two different roads.B. We have different ways of doing things.C. Being polite to each other is a mutual thing.D. We can smoke and sometimes we will not smoke.73. According to the author, how can you get an agreeable response from smokers if you don't feel like someone smoking beside you?A. Complain to his boss.B. Tell him directly that you hate smokers.C. Keep from complaining but do something to suggest your feelings.D. Tell him politely that you are not used to smoke.74. According to the author, why do some smokers smoke in public?A. Because they cannot stop from smoking.B. Because they forget that others do not like the smell cigarettes.C. Because they are humans and they cannot avoid offending people.D. Because there is no law against it.75. How does the author try to persuade the reader?A. He uses reasons.B. He appeals to people's feelings.C. He gives examples in his argument.D. He simply states his opinion.Questions 76 to 80 are based on the same passage or dialog.In 1848, gold was discovered in California; from all over the nation, thousands of young men set out for California. People called this the time of the Gold Rush.A gold miner came into a city looking for a pair of pants. He wanted pants strong enough to stand up to the rough work of mining. He met a young man named Levi, who sold heavy cloth for tents and wagon tops. They asked a tailor to use heavy cloth for their pants. Then Levi went into the business of making work pants. He asked his brothers to send him some strong blue cotton cloth called denim (斜纹粗棉布). With this blue denim cloth, Levi started making the kind of pants we call blue jeans today. They were sewed up in the same way as other pants.In 1860, a miner said that the pockets weren't strong enough to hold the pieces of gold he found. The pockets kept falling off the pants. The cloth was all right. It was the thread that wasn't strong enough. So Levi used rivets (铆钉) to attach thepockets onto the pants.Cowboys needed tough pants, too. They liked their pants to fit tightly. But the rivets marked the cowboys' saddles. So Levi covered the rivets with cloth. Then everybody was happy.76. This article as a whole is about __________________.A. how people got blue jeansB. the Gold Rush in CaliforniaC. How blue jeans are madeD. The kind of pants cowboys' wear77. While not stated in the article, you can tell that __________________.A. everybody who went to California got a lot of goldB. Levi found riches in the gold fieldsC.

Which of the following sentences is NOT true?A. It was Levi who started the business of making blue jeans.B. It was one tailor who started making blue jeans.C. It was in California that blue jeans first became popular.D. It was in California that gold was discovered.Questions 81 to 85 are based on the same passage or dialog.Rote-learning (死记硬背), spoon-fed education, produces a brand of kids that don't know what to do when entering university. They are disciplined into following, not leading. Yet the future depends on creativity and imagination. The world needs creators, makers and shakers of the new centuries, not the followers of the past centuries. As the numbers increase at college and university level, more students from the lower ends are likely to be thrown into a process designed to choose only learners that have proved excellent in listening to teachers.There are three ways to learn: looking, listening and doing.Students and teachers today are a product of learning by listening. The computer may not be liked by traditional teachers, who use rote-learning to put information, which will be out of date in a few years, into the heads of the students. With computer learning you learn by looking, listening and doing; you use three methods of learning, not just one. Therefore, you can learn faster.The changing speed of information is frightening. What we learn now will be out of date in the near future. So what students are learning now at school may be replaced by the time they finish university. We have to learn by choice what to forget. Rote-learning for exams is one thing, but wouldn't it be better to learn how to learn? The students at university today could possibly be doing a job in the not too distant future which has not yet been invented.81. According to the author, the future doesn't need ____________.A. creativityB. imaginationC. creatorsD. followers82. In the author's view, how can students learn well?A. Carefully listen to the teacher in class.B. Take down every single word said by the teacher.C. Learn all the notes by heart.D. Combine listening with looking and doing.83. What does the author mean by "The changing speed of information is frightening"?A. We don't have enough time to adjust ourselves to the speed of information.B. What we learned today may not be useful tomorrow.C. The pace of life is too fast.D. The world is changing every minute.84. What does the last sentence of the passage tell us?A. Rote-learning is completely harmful.B. Students may have to do jobs which are not yet in existence.C. It's better to learn how to learn than learn what to forget.D. Students must imagine the future.85. The author's attitude towards rote-learning is _________.A. approvingB. disapprovingC. confidentD. opposite to what the words say13-14学年下网络自主学习Quiz3答案每小题:2分;满分:30分)。

Then, mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.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 learning to do all the other things 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 findout his mistakes for himself, let alone correct them. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless 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 of 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 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 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 in a world as complicated and rapidly changing as ours. Anxious parents and teachers say, “But suppose they fail to learn something essential, 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 learn it.31.What does the author think is the best way for the children to learn things?A)by asking a great many questionsB)by copying what other people doC)by listening to explanations from skilled peopleD)by making mistakes and having them corrected32.What does the author think teachers do which they should not do?A)They allow children to mark their own work.B)They encourage children to copy from one another.C)They point out children’s mistakes to them.D)The give children correct answer.33.The passage suggests that learning to speak and learning to ride a bicycle are_______________.A)basically the same as learning other skillsB)more important than other skillsC)not really important skillsD)basically different from learning adult skills34.Exams, grades and marks should be abolished (废除) because children’s progressshould only be estimated by ____________.A) parents B) educated personsC) teachers D) the children themselves35.The author fears that children will grow up into adults who are________________-.A) unable to use basic skills B) too independent of othersC) unable to think for themselves D) too critical of themselvesPart IV Sentence Completing (10 points )36.____________________________(如果情况如此)，then I will be verydisappointed.37.He’s upstairs doing his homework, _____________________ (信不信由你).38.__________________________________(就该国经济而言)，this has been adifficult period.39.He bought me dinner to __________________________________ (作为前一天迟到的补偿).40.He is very uncertain __________________________________________ (关于他究竟是否适合做这项工作).Keys:Part I Word building (10 points )1. cooperation2. invention3. disappear4. belief5. speech6. respond7. mysterious8. explosion9. responsibility 10. similarly Part II Vocabulary and Structure ( 20 points )11----15 C B B C A16---20 B B B C C21---25 A D C A D26---30 C B D B APart III Reading Comprehension (10 points )31---35 BCADCPart IV Translation (10 points )41.If that is the case, …42.…, believe it or not.43.As far as the country’s economy is concerned, …44.… make up for being late the day before.45.… as to whether it’s the right job for him.。
