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 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 some facts or a formula. 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 anything from school. But they were all so successful. They invented so many things for mankind.
The reason for their success is that they knew how to study. They read books that were not taught at school. They worked hard all their lives, wasting not a single moment. They would ask many questions as they read and they did thousands of experiments.
Above all, they knew how to use their brains

试题分析：
1.C 细节题。根据第一段第2行Others go to school to learn a skill so that they can make a living.说明C正确。
2..A 推理题。根据第一段第二行The teacher’s job is to show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think.说明老师的认为是教会学生如何学习，如何思考。即如何靠自己来学习。A正确。
3.B 细节题。根据第二段1,2行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.说明使用公式解决问题比记忆事实更困难，故B正确。
4..D 细节题。根据文章最后一行Above all, they knew how to use their brains。说明最重要的是那些科学家知道如何动脑。故D正确。
考点：考查句意类短文阅读
点评：文章讲述了教育的本质不是教会学生记忆事实，而是让他们学会如何学习，如何思考，并举了很多科学家的例子来说明这个道理。集中考查了细节题，要求学生抓住题干文字信息，采用针对性方法进行阅读，因为这类题的答案在文章中可以直接找到。
