题目内容

5.Five years ago,when I taught art at a school in Seattle,I used Tinkertoys as a test at the beginning of a term to find out something about my students.I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student,and said:"Make something out of the Tinkertoys.You have 45minutes today-and 45minutes each day for the rest of the week."
A few students hesitated to start.They waited to see the rest of the class would do.Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided.Another group built something out of their own imaginations.
Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time.His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home.I was delighted at the presence of such a student.Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work.His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect(感染) other students.
Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside.I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking.Without fail one would declare,"But I'm just not creative."
"Do you dream at night when you're asleep?"
"Oh,sure."
"So tell me one of your most interesting dreams."The student would tell something wildly imaginative.Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads."That's pretty creative.Who does that for you?"
"Nobody.I do it."
"Really-at night,when you're asleep?"
"Sure."
"Try doing it in the daytime,in class,okay?"

25.The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order toA?
A.know more about the students    
B.make the lessons more exciting
C.raise the students'interest in art     
D.teach the students about toy design

A.He liked to help his teacher.
B.He preferred to study alone.
C.He was active in class.
D.He was imaginative.
27.What does the underlined word"downside"in Paragraph 4probably mean?B
A.Mistake.        
B.Drawback.
C.Difficulty.     
D.Burden.
28.Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams?A
A.To help them to see their creativity.
B.To find out about their sleeping habits.
C.To help them to improve their memory.
D.To find out about their ways of thinking.

分析 试题分析:本文属于记叙文,作者通过让学生拼装玩具发现并鼓励学生的创造性和想象力.

解答 25.A 推理判断题.根据文章第二段可知当我把拼装式玩具放在学生面前的时候,有些学生犹豫着在等着看别人如何行动,有一些学生查看了使用说明并根据模型做出了一 些东西.而另外一些学生则根据本人的想象力做出了一些东西.通过观察我对不同的学生的性格有了不同的理解.故A正确.
26.D 推理判断题.根据文章第三段第一句中提到到的这个男孩在空余时间拼装这些玩具,而且他的作品堆满了艺术教室的架子,家里的卧室里很多.第三段倒数第三句:Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work.说明他是一个很有想象力和创造性的人,故选D.
27.B 词义猜测题.根据划线单词后一句I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking.可知我冒着失去那些有不同思维方式的学生的危险.说明我的这种教育方法也有不足之处.故划线词意为drawback缺点,故选B.
28.A 推理判断题.根据文章最后七段中的对话内容可知作者鼓励孩子们说出最有趣的有创造性和想象力的梦,并鼓励他们在白天的课堂里把梦的内容做出来.作者这样做的目的就是为了让他们看到自己的创造性和想象力.故A正确.

1.The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups.Silences may be thoughtful,or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say.A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness,uneasiness,or worry.Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every gap(间隙)with conversation.Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person's needs.
Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people,just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do.Therefore,when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops,what may be implied(暗示) is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing.In these cultures,silence is a call for reflection.
Other cultures may use silence in other ways,particularly when dealing with conflicts among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power.For example,Russian,French,and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion.However,Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her.In still another use,persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect,particularly to an elder or a person in authority.
Nurses and other care-geivers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be expericencing.Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient's silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily.A nurse who understands the healing(治愈) value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.

32.What does the author say about silence in conversations?C
A.It implies anger.
B.It promotes friendship.

B.The French.
C.The Mexicans.
D.The Russians.
34.What does the author advise nurses to do about silence?D
A.Let it continue as the patient pleases.
B.Break it while treating patients.
C.Evaluate its harm to patients.
D.Make use of its healing effects.
35.What may be the best title for the text?B
A.Sound and Silence
B.What It Means to Be Silent
C.Silence to Native Americans
D.Speech Is Silver; Silence Is Gold.
