Answer 1

答案：1．C;2．B;3．A;4．C;5．D;
解析：

(1)	“The ideal student is considered to be one who is motivated to learn for the sake of learning，not the one interested only in getting high grades．”即“人们认为，一个完美的学生，其学习动机是为了学习，而不是仅仅对得高分感兴趣”。
(2)	第二段第一句“When research is assigned, the professor in the United States expects the students to take the initiative and complete the assignment with less guidance．”得此答案。其中less guidance可以理解为independence。
(3)	全文首先指出，一个完美的学生不应该以考试得高分为学习目的，而应该为学习而学习。接下来作者提出，一个只知道分数的学生如果遇到一个不把分数看重的老师，他会受挫。接下来文章第二、三段讲了如何引导学生积极、主动地学习，因此A项为最佳答案。
(4)	从第三段最后一句得此答案。
(5)	细节题。从“The ideal student is considered to be one who is motivated to learn…”得此答案。
