【题目】We can achieve knowledge either actively or passively. We achieve it actively by direct experience, by testing and proving an idea, or by reasoning.

We achieve knowledge passively by being told by someone else. Most of the learning that takes place in the classroom and the kind that happens when we watch TV or read newspapers or magazines is passive. Conditioned as we are to passive learning, it’s not surprising that we depend on it in our everyday communication with friends and co-workers.

Unfortunately, passive learning has a serious problem. It makes us tend to accept what we are told even when it is little more than hearsay (传闻) and rumor.

Did you ever play the game Rumor? It begins when one person writes down a message but doesn’t show it to anyone. Then the person whispers it, word for word, to another person. Thai person, in turn, whispers it to still another, and so on, through all the people playing the game. The last person writes down the message word for word as he or she hears it. Then the two written statements arc compared. Typically, the original message has changed.

That’s what happens in daily life. The simple fact that people repeat a story in their own words changes the story. Then, too, most people listen imperfectly. And many enjoy adding their own creative touch to a story, trying to improve on it, stamping it with their own personal style. Yet those who hear it think they know.

This process is also found among scholars and authors: A statement of opinion by one writer may be restated as fact by another, who may in turn be quoted by yet another; and this process may continue, unless it occurs to someone to question the facts on which the original writer based his opinion or to challenge the interpretation he placed upon those facts.

1According to the passage, active learning may occur in .

A. doing a chemical experiment

B. listening to the teacher in class

C. watching news program on TV

D. reading scientific journals

2The game Rumor is mentioned in Paragraph 4 in order to tell readers that .

A. playing games can make people more active

B. people tend to like telling lies when playing games

C. people may have problems with their sense of hearing

D. a message may be changed when being passed on

3What can be inferred from the text?

A. Scholars and authors can’t be trusted.

B. People like spreading rumors in daily life.

C. Passive learning may not be reliable.

D. Active learning is more important than passive learning.

【题目】根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项, 其中有两项为多余选项。
Ireland now has one of the best education systems in the world. Class sizes are small, exam results are good and most children are happy to stay at school after the minimum(最低的) leaving age of sixteen.
For years, Ireland had one of the most complicated(复杂的) education systems in the world. Classes were large and the teaching was very traditional. As in many countries, teachers used to hit the children if they made mistakes. Fortunately, the punishment was not allowed in 1982.
As a result, there were schools for the rich and schools for the poor. Boys and girls went to different schools. Nowadays, most schools are free and only about half the schools are either for girls or boys. Girls do better than boys in their exams; more girls go to university and most teachers are women.
At the end of secondary school, students take their final exams. Compulsory(必修的)subjects are maths, Irish and English. Some of these, like business organization, help to prepare them for the world of work. This is very different from the past when Latin and Greek used to be the most important subjects.
A. In many ways, education is now a woman's world.
B. Parents used to pay for their children's education.
C. In addition, they must choose two or three extra subjects.
D. Public schools in Ireland are not run by the government.
E. It is easy to forget that the picture used to be very different.
F. Here, children do not learn any subjects but some basic skills.
G. There were many different kinds of school, but most of them had a lot in common.
