题目内容

  Here's something to think about the next time you ask your teacher for help: trying hard to do schoolwork on your own can help you learn. According to a recent study,the more you try while you are learning new information,the better you can remember it later.

  This might surprise you. When teachers are presenting new information,they often give students lots of help. But a new study shows this may not be the best way to support learning. "Don't be too quick to get help when learning something new,"education expert Manu Kapur said. "Try to work on it your?self even if it means trying different ways." Kapur came up with the idea that trying hard can lead to better learning. Then he tested it out on students in Singapore. He separated students into two groups. In the first group,students were asked to solve maths problems with the teacher's help. In the second group,students were asked to solve the same problems by helping one another,instead of getting help from the teacher.

  With the teacher's help,students in the first group were able to find the correct answers. Students in the second group did not solve the problems cor?rectly. But they did come up with a lot of good ideas.

  The students were then tested on what they had learned. The group with?out any help from a teacher scored much higher than the group who had help. Kapur said working to find the answers helped students understand the process (过程) ,not just the solution.

  Kapur's advice for kids is to put a lot of effort (努力) into learning some?thing new rather than going to your teacher for help. "Simply doing a little work or nothing at all won't work,"says Kapur. "Try to solve a problem in as many ways as possible.”

1. What is the best title for the text?

   A. Work your mind

   B. Practice makes perfect

   C. The best way to learn

   D. Teachers' role in schoolwork

2. Manu Kapur holds that      .

   A. it's necessary for students to ask for teachers' help

   B. students should try to solve problems by themselves

   C. students with teachers' help have more good ideas

   D. students in the first group are cleverer than those in the second group

3. The author develops the text mainly by      .

   A. presenting research findings

   B. comparing different opinions

    C showing scientitic mlormation  

    D. setting down general rules

1. A主旨大意题。文章首先提出,自己越努力解决问题,越能牢固记忆新知识。接着通过实验结果证明了这一点:没有老师帮助的学生在做数学题时,虽然没有做对,但想出了不少好主意,且在考试中获得较高的分数。最后作者再次通过研究者的话表明:要尝试多种方法解决问题,多动脑。

2. B推理判断题。根据第二段Manu Kapur说的话可知,他鼓励学生们自己解决问题。

3. A推理判断题。作者在第一段提出结论,在第二至第五段引用实验来说明这一结论,在最后一段建议学生该怎么做。由此可知,作者通过实验结果来证实文章观点。

  One spring break when I was a senior in college,some friends and I drove to the West Coast. Along the way we stopped and spent two days on a farm in Idaho. There had once been dairy farmers,but at the time of our visit they were retired and the cows had been sold. Still,the place was a real farm,and we got to work a little,walk a lot,and eat great food. We brushed two huge horses,helped fix some fences and generally had a good time. The snow?capped mountains in the distance and the wild flowers in the yard made the place nice. I liked the life there.

  Though I did not grow up to be a farmer,I still manage to spend as much time on other people's farms as I can. For me,it beats a holiday inn. Next to the scenery and the food,the work itself is always the best part. It makes me feel good.

  If you haven't planned your summer vacation yet,maybe it would be a good idea to spend some time on a farm. Many farmers open their doors to travellers,who can expect all different kinds of accommodations (食宿) and experiences. If you are looking for something to give you the flavour of farm life but feel mostly like taking a vacation,you could spend a weekend at a farm offering "farm vacations".

  One day back at that farm in Idaho,my friends and I planted trees in the yard. Being in such a nice place inspired us to make up a little song to sing to each tree as we put it in its hole. Fifteen years later that funny song still comes to me when I am working in my garden. Farm vacations can make a deep im?pression.
