Question

Many people go to school for an education. They learn languages, history, geography, physics, chemistry and mathematics. Others go to school to learn a skill so that they can make a living. School education is very important and useful. Yet no one can learn everything from school. A teacher, no matter how much he knows, cannot teach his students everything they want to know. The teacher’s job is to show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think. So, much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves.

It is always more important to know how to study by oneself than to memorize (记住) some facts or a formula (公式). It is usually quite easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in mathematics. But it is very difficult to use a formula in working out a maths problem. Great scientists, such as Einstein, Newton and Galileo didn’t get everything from school. But they were all so successful. They invented so many things for mankind.   Above all, they knew how to use their brains.

1.Whether a teacher is more _______or less, he can’t teach his students everything they want to know.

A．knowledgeable     B．useful            C．difficulty          D．important

2.A teacher’s job is mainly to train his students to master the ability of ________.

Answer 1

【答案】

1.A

2.A

3.B

【解析】

试题分析：老师的作用是什么？是教会学生学习的方法而不只是让学生知道历史事实。让学生学会用脑，很多科学家的成功之处就是学会动脑筋。

1.A 细节题。根据文章4,5行A teacher, no matter how much he knows, cannot teach his students everything they want to know.说明无论老师的知识有多么的丰富，他也不可能教会学生所有的东西，故A正确。

2.A 细节题。根据文章第一段后3行The teacher’s job is to show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think. So, much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves.说明老师的工作就是教会学生如何学习，较会学生学习的方法。故A正确。

3.B 细节题。根据文章最后一句Above all, they knew how to use their brains.说明这些科学家最大的成功之处就是知道如何使用自己的脑子，动脑筋来解决问题。故B正确。
