题目内容

A school teacher decided to let her class play a game. The teacher told each child in the class to bring along a plastic bag containing a few    16  . Each tomato will be given a name of a person that the child    17  , so the number of tomatoes that a child will put in the plastic bag will depend on the number of people the child hates.
So when the day came, every    18   brought some tomatoes. Some had two; some three while some up to five tomatoes. The teacher then told the children to    19   with them the tomatoes in the plastic    20   wherever they go.
Days after days passed by, and the children started to complain due to the    21   smell let out by the rotten tomatoes. Besides, those having more tomatoes had to carry    22   bags. After 1 week, the children were relieved because the game had finally ended.
The teacher asked: “How did you    23   while carrying the tomatoes with you for 1     24  ?”
The children let out their frustrations and started    25   of the trouble that they had to go through having to carry the heavy and    26  tomatoes wherever they go.
Then the teacher told them the hidden meaning behind the    27  .
“This is exactly the    28   when you carry your hatred(憎恨) for somebody inside your heart. The unpleasant smell of hatred will pollute your    29   and you will carry it with you wherever you go. If you cannot tolerate the smell of rotten tomatoes for just 1 week, can you imagine what is it like to have the smell of hatred in your heart for your lifetime?”
So    30   others is that best attitude to take!

When it comes to social behaviourmammals are in a league of their own.Some birds may form pairsor even cooperate to huntbut the complexity (复杂性) of their relationships can hardly compare to those within a school of dolphinsa herd of elephants or a group of humans.What makes mammalian social groups different from a flock of starlings or a shoal of fishis that in many cases the individuals could recognize each other.Although we may think that? all elephants look pretty much the samewe can easily tell individuals of our own species apart and it has become clear through studies that the same is true of other species.Dolphins have their own signature whistles that act like “names”and elephants can recognize and greet other individuals they have known but not seen for many years.This is something that only a few species of birds appear to be able to do.

Mammals in complex social groups not only recognize each other as individualsbut also they remember a lot of information about that individual.Social groups often rely on this memory—such as knowing who is dominant to whomwho is related to whomand who has done what to whom in the past.It’s like remembering who you have lent money to or done a favour forand who hasn’t repaid that money or has talked about you behind your back.You have to learn who to trustwho your friends areand who to watch out for.

All this remembering goes on in a particular part of the brain called the neocortex (大脑皮层)If you compare the size of a mammal’s social group with the size of this part of the brainyou will find they are remarkably closely related.This area seems to take a long time to develop fully and animals in which it is very large take a very? long time to grow up to adulthood.During this timethe youngster has to learn all the rules of social behaviour in their group and to piece together all? the relationships between the group membersKnowledge that will be needed to avoid getting into trouble.

1.What is special about a mammalian social group according to the passage?

AAll the individuals cooperate to hunt.

BThe individuals can communicate with each other.

CThe individuals can recognize each other.

DThe individuals form closer relationship.

2.The passage suggests that elephants________.

Aare cleverer than dolphins

Bcan recognize other species

Cmay mistake a member for another

Dhave good memories

3. Animals whose area of the neocortex is large________.

Awill have a long period of time before they become adults

Bwill spend a shorter time learning the necessary knowledge

Cwill learn the necessary knowledge much more easily

Dwill have more difficulty in growing up as adults

4. If the neocortex is largerthe animals________.

Acan live a longer life

Bhave a smaller social group

Chave a larger social group

Dhave a greater body size

 

What do college teachers think of high school English teachers’English teaching? And how should we see it? Let’s read the following.

A teacher from a community college addressed a sympathetic audience. Heads nodded in agreement when he said, “High school English teachers are not doing their jobs.” He described how weak his students were—all high school graduates who can use language only at a Grade 9 level.

My topic is not standards nor its decline(降低). What the speaker was really saying is that he is no longer young; he has been teaching for sixteen years, and is able to think and speak like a mature adult.

My point is that the frequent complaint of one generation about the one immediately following is natural. It is also human nature to look for the reasons for our dissatisfaction. Before English became a school subject in the late nineteenth century, it was difficult to find the target of the blame for language deficiencies(缺陷). But since then, English teachers have been under constant attack.

The complainers think they have hit upon an original idea. As their own command of the language improves, they notice that young people do not have this same ability. Unaware that their own ability has developed through the years, they assume the new generation of young people must be hopeless in this respect. To the eyes and ears of sensitive adults, the language of the young always seems inadequate.

Since this concern about the decline and fall of the English language is not seen as a generational phenomenon but rather as something new and peculiar(特有的) to today’s young people, it naturally follows that today’s English teachers cannot be doing their jobs.

1.The speaker believed that ________.

A. he was an excellent language teacher because he had been teaching English for sixteen years

B. the younger generation was as likely as not worse at language than the older generation 

C. high school English teachers should be responsible for their students’ poor command of English

D. The fact that the students didn’t work hard enough contributed to their poor command of English

2. In the author’s opinion, the speaker ________.

A. had exaggerated (夸大) the language problems of the students  

B. was right in saying English teachers were not doing their jobs       

C. gave a correct judgment of the English level of the students

D. thought and spoke in a wise and responsible way

3.What can we conclude from the passage?

A. Language learning and improving needs time and effort.

B. The author disagrees with the speaker over the standard of English at Grade 9 level. 

C. It is reasonable to include English as one of the high school subjects.

D. The English language teaching is by no means an easy job for college teachers.

4.The author’s attitude towards the speaker’s remarks is ________.

A. neutral(中立的)   B. critical

C. positive    D. compromising(妥协的)
