　　Part II Reading Comprehension (60 points)

　　Directions：There are five passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choice marked A，B，C and D. Choose the best one and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square brackets on your machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET.

　　Passage One

　　Normally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate，and each course which he/she attends gives him/her a credit which he/she may count towards a degree.In many American universities the total work for a degree consists of thirty-six courses each lasting for one semester.A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks;while attending a university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester.Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two semesters each year.It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period.It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another during his/her degree course，though this is not in fact done as a regular practice.

　　For every course followed a student is given a grade，which is recorded，and the record is available for the student to show to prospective employers.All this imposes a constant pressure and strain of work，but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs.Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm.The effective work of maintaining discipline is usually performed by students who advise the academic authorities.Any student who is thought to have broken the rules，for example，by cheating has to appear before a student court.With the enormous numbers of students，the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activity.A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him/her later in his/her career.

　　41. Normally a student would at least attend _____classes each week.

　　A.36 B.12 C.20 D.15

　　42. According to the first paragraph，an American student is allowed _____.

　　A. to live in a different university

　　B. to take a particular course in a different university

　　C. to live at home and drive to classes

　　D. to get two degrees from two different universities

　　43. American university students are usually under pressure of work because _____.

　　A. their academic performance will affect their future careers

　　B. they are heavily involved in student affairs

　　C. they have to observe university discipline

　　D. they want to run for positions of authority

　　44. Some students are enthusiastic for positions in student organizations probably because _____.

　　A. they hate the constant pressure and strain of their study

　　B. they will then be able to stay longer in the university

　　C. such positions help them get better jobs

　　D. such positions are usually well paid

　　45. The student organizations seem to be effective in _____.

　　A. dealing with the academic affairs of the university

　　B. ensuring that the students observe university regulations

　　C. evaluating students’ performance by bringing them before a court

　　D. keeping up the students’ enthusiasm for social activities

　　Passage Two

　　On June 17，1744，the officials from Maryland and Virginia held a talk with the Indians of the Six Nations.The Indians were invited to send boys to William and Mary College.In a 1etter the next day they refused the offer as follows：

　　We know that you have a high opinion of the kind of learning taught in your colleges，and that the cost of living of our young men，while with you，would be very expensive to you.We are convinced that mean to do us good by your proposal;and we thank you heartily.But you must know that different nations have different ways of looking at things，and you will therefore not be offended if our ideas of this kind of education happen not to be the same as yours.We have had some experience of it.Several of our young people were formerly brought up at the colleges of the northern provinces：they were taught all your sciences;but，when they came back to us，they were bad runners，ignorant of every means of living in the woods…They were totally good for nothing.

　　We are，however，not the less obliged by your kind offer，though we refuse to accept it;and， to show our grateful sense of it，if the gentlemen of Virginia will send us a dozen of their sons.We will take care of their education，teach them in all we know，and makes men of them.

　　46.The passage is about _____.

　　A. the talk between the Indians and the officials

　　B. the colleges of the northern provinces

　　C. the educational values of the Indians

　　D. the problems of the Americans in the mid-eighteenth century

　　47.The Indians’ chief purpose in writing the letter seems to be to _____.

　　C. they taught different branches of science

　　D. they should teach the sons of the officials first

　　50.The tone of the letter as a whole is best described as _____.

　　A. angry B. pleasant C. polite D. inquiring

　　Passage Three

　　There is a popular belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in spelling.No school I have taught in has ever ignored spelling or considered it unimportant as a basic skill.There are，however，vastly different ideas about how to teach it，or how much priority it must be given over general language development and writing ability.The problem is，how to encourage a child to express himself/herself freely and confidently in writing without holding him/her back with the complexities of spelling?

　　If spelling becomes the only focal point of his/her teacher’s interest，clearly a bright child will be likely to “play safe”.He/she will tend to write only words within his/her spelling range，choosing to avoid adventurous language.That’s why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content rather than technical ability.

　　1 was once shocked to read on the bottom of a sensitive piece of writing about a personal experience：“This work is terrible! There are far too many spelling errors and your writing is illegible(難以辨認(rèn)的).”It may have been a sharp criticism of the pupil’s technical abilities in writing，but it was also a sad reflection on the teacher who had omitted to read the essay，which contained some beautiful expressions of the child’s deep feelings.The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the errors，but if his/her priorities had centered on the child’s ideas，an expression of his/her disappointment with the presentation would have given the pupil more motivation to seek improvement.

　　51. Teachers differ in their opinions about _____.

　　A. the difficulties in teaching spelling

　　B. the role of spelling in general language development

　　C. the complexities of the basic writing skills

　　D. the necessity of teaching spelling

　　52. The expression “play safe’’ probably means _____.

　　A. to write carefully B. to do as teachers say

　　C. to use dictionaries frequently D. to avoid using words one is not sure of

　　53. Teachers encourage the use of dictionaries so that _____.

　　A. students will be able to express their ideas more freely

　　B. teachers will have less trouble in correcting mistakes

　　C. students will have more confidence in writing

　　D. students will learn to be independent of teachers

　　54. The writer seems to think that the teacher’s judgment on that sensitive piece of writing is _____.

　　A. reasonable B. unfair C. foolish D. careless

　　55. The major point discussed in the passage is _____.

　　A. the importance of developing writing skills

　　B. the complexities of spelling

　　C. the correct way of marking compositions

　　D. the relationship between spelling and the content of a composition

　　Passage Four

　　Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it’s painful? This might be called laziness，but Dr.Kleitman has a new explanation.He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.

　　During the hours when you labour through your work you may say that you’re “hot”.That’s true.The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak.For some people the peak comes during the forenoon.For others it comes in the afternoon or evening.No one has discovered why this is so，but it leads to such familiar monologues(自言自語) as：“Get up.John! You’ll be late for work again!” The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening.Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean，and which cycle each member of the family has.

　　You can’t change your energy cycle，but you can learn to make your life fit it better.Habit can help，Dr.Kleitman believes.Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway.Counteract(對(duì)抗)your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to.If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day，rise before your usual hour.This won’t change your cycle，but you’ll get up steam(鼓起干勁)and work better at your low point.

　　Get off to a slow start which saves your energy.Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch.Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor.Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before.Whenever possible，do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.

　　56.If a person finds getting up early a problem，most probably he/she _____.

　　A. is a lazy person

　　B. refuses to follow his/her own energy cycle

　　C. is not sure when his/her energy is low

　　D. is at his/her peak in the afternoon or evening

　　57.Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?

　　A. Unawareness of energy cycles.

　　B. Familiar monologues.

　　C. A change in a family member’s energy cycle.

　　D. Attempts to control the energy cycle of other family members.

　　58.If one wants to work more efficiently at his/her low point in the morning，he/she should _____.

　　A. change his/her energy cycle B. overcome his/her laziness

　　C. get up earlier than usual D. go to bed earlier

　　59.You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will _____.

　　A. help to keep your energy for the day’s work

　　B. help you to control your temper early in the day

　　C. enable you to concentrate on your routine work

　　D. keep your energy cycle under control all day

　　60.Which of the following statements is NOT true?

　　A. Getting off to work with a minimum effort helps save one’s energy.

　　B. Dr.Kleitman explains why people reach their peaks at different hours of day.

　　C. Habit helps a person adapt to his/her own energy cycle.

　　D. Children have energy cycles，too.

　　Passage Five

　　In what now seems like the prehistoric times of computer history，the earth’s postwar era，there was quite a wide-spread concern that computers would take over the world from man one day.Already today，less than forty years later，as computers are relieving us of more and more of the routine tasks in business and in our personal lives，we are faced with a less dramatic but also less foreseen problem.People tend to be over-trusting of computers and are reluctant to challenge their authority.Indeed，they behave as if they were hardly aware that wrong buttons may be pushed，or that，a computer may simply malfunction(失誤).

　　Obviously，there would be no point in investing in a computer if you had to check all its answers，but people should also rely on their own internal computers and check the machine when they have the feeling that something has gone wrong.

　　Questioning and routine double—checks must continue to be as much a part of good business as they were in pre-computer days.Maybe each computer should come with the warning：for all the help this computer may provide，it should not be seen as a substitute for fundamental thinking and reasoning skills.

　　61. What is the main purpose of this passage?

　　A. To look back to the early days of computers.

　　B. To explain what technical problems may occur with computers.

　　C. To discourage unnecessary investment in computers.

　　D. To warn against a mentally lazy attitude towards computers.

　　62. According to the passage，the initial concern about computers was that they might _____.

　　A. change our personal lives B. take control of the world

　　C. create unforeseen problems D. affect our business

　　63. The passage recommends those dealing with computers to _____.

　　A. be reasonably doubtful about them

　　B. check all their answers

　　C. substitute them for basic thinking

　　D. use them for business purposes only

　　64.The passage suggests that the present-day problem with regard to computers is _____.

　　A. challenging B. psychological C. dramatic D. fundamental

　　65.It can be inferred from the passage that the author would disapprove of _____.

　　A. investment in computers

　　B. the use of one’s internal computer

　　C. double-check on computers

　　D. complete dependence on computers for decision-making

　　Passage Six

　　We find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed-ability teaching.On the contrary，both their knowledge and experience are enriched.However，we feel that there are many disadvantages in streaming(把……按能力分班)pupils.It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates.It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright children.After all，it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade!

　　Besides，it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual ability.This is only one aspect of their total personality.We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full，not just their academic ability.We also value personal qualities and social skills，and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning.

　　In our classrooms，we work in various ways.The pupils often work in groups：this gives them the opportunity to learn to cooperate，to share，and to develop leadership skills.They also learn how to cope with personal problems as well as learning how to think，to make decisions，to analyse and evaluate，and to communicate effectively.The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teacher.

　　Sometimes the pupils work in pairs;sometimes they work on individual tasks and assignments，and they can do this at their own speed.They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate.We encourage our pupils to use the library，and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this efficiently.An advanced pupil can do advanced work：it does not matter what age the child is.We expect our pupils to do their best，not their least，and we give them every encouragement to attain this goal.

　　66.In the passage the author’s attitude towards “mixed-ability teaching” is _____.

　　A. critical B. questioning C. approving D. objective

　　67.By “held back”(Line1，Para.1)the author means _____.

　　A. made to remain in the same classes

　　B. forced to study in the lower classes

　　C. drawn to their studies

　　D. prevented from advancing

　　68.The author argues that a teacher’s chief concern should be the development of the student’s _____.

　　A. personal qualities and social skills

　　B. total personality

　　C. learning ability and communicative skills

　　D. intellectual ability

　　69.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the third paragraph?

　　A. Group work gives pupils the opportunity to learn to work together with others.

　　B. Pupils also learn to develop their reasoning abilities.

　　C. Group work provides pupils with the opportunity to learn to be capable organizers.

　　D. Pupils also learn how to participate in teaching activities.

　　70.The author’s purpose in writing this passage is to _____.

　　C. offer advice on the proper use of the library

　　D. emphasize the importance of appropriate formal classroom teaching

　　Part II Reading Comprehension

　　Passage One

　　41.[答案] B

　　[解析] 文中第一段第三句：“A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks;while attending a university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester.”談到，每門課每周3節(jié)，一個(gè)學(xué)期可修4門或5門課。因此學(xué)生每周有12到15節(jié)課。但本題問的是學(xué)生至少每周要聽?zhēng)坠?jié)課，是12節(jié)。所以B)項(xiàng)是正確的答案。

　　42.[答案] B

　　[解析] 這一段的最后一句話提到：“…to move between one university and another during his/her degree course”，意思是“學(xué)生在攻讀學(xué)位期間可以到其它學(xué)校修課”，所以B)項(xiàng)正確。這一段內(nèi)容總的是講述大學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)情況，沒有涉及他們的住宿問題，A)項(xiàng)和C)項(xiàng)不對(duì)，應(yīng)被排除。這一段也沒有在兩個(gè)不同的大學(xué)拿到兩個(gè)學(xué)位的意思，排除D)項(xiàng)。因此，B)項(xiàng)是正確的答案。

　　43.[答案] A

　　[解析] 根據(jù)文章第二段第一、二兩句話：“For every course followed a student is given a grade，which is recorded，and the record is available for the student to show to prospective employers.All this imposes a constant pressure and strain of work，but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs.”學(xué)生之所以始終處于一種緊張、有壓力的學(xué)習(xí)狀態(tài)之中，是因?yàn)樗麄兯�修每一門課程的成績(jī)都將影響到他們將來的就業(yè)。第二段第二句話的“All this”就是指第一句的內(nèi)容。因此，A)項(xiàng)是正確的答案。

　　44.[答案] C

　　[解析] 這道題是一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單的推理題，涉及第二段：“A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him/her later in his/her career.”學(xué)生對(duì)競(jìng)選學(xué)生組織的職位熱情很高，原因是學(xué)生組織的負(fù)責(zé)人受人尊敬，而且對(duì)自己今后的工作有益。因此，C)項(xiàng)是正確的答案。

　　45.[答案] B

　　[解析] 要回答這個(gè)問題，必須讀懂第二段中的第四、五兩句話：“The effective work of maintaining discipline is usually performed by students who advise the academic authorities.Any student who is thought to have broken the rules.for example，by cheating has to appear before a student court.”可以看出，學(xué)生組織在保證學(xué)生遵守學(xué)校規(guī)章制度方面發(fā)揮著作用，所以選項(xiàng)B)正確。其他三個(gè)選項(xiàng)在文章中未提及，應(yīng)被排除。

　　Passage Two

　　46.[答案] C

　　[解析] 印第安人并不贊同美國的高等教育。從整篇文章可以看出信中主要表明印第安人的教育價(jià)值觀。A)項(xiàng)是文章第一句話。B)項(xiàng)說的是北方省份的大學(xué)，不是本文談?wù)摰闹行�。D)項(xiàng)是美國18世紀(jì)中葉存在的問題，過于籠統(tǒng)。因此，C)項(xiàng)是正確的答案。

　　47.[答案] A

　　[解析] 要答對(duì)這個(gè)問題，需要讀懂文章的第二、三段，尤其是第二段的第二句和第三句，以及第三段的第一句。他們婉言謝絕了政府官員請(qǐng)他們送孩子去讀大學(xué)的好意。因此，A)項(xiàng)是正確的答案。

　　48.[答案] D

　　[解析] 它問的是從這封信中反映出來的印第安人的信念或觀點(diǎn)。他們用實(shí)例說明了他們自己有更好的教育方法，因而客氣地拒絕了政府官員提出要他們派孩子去讀大學(xué)的好意。因此，D)項(xiàng)是正確的答案。

　　49.[答案] B

　　[解析] 從文章里可以看出，印第安人致力于把孩子培養(yǎng)成“真正的男子漢”，以適應(yīng)叢林生活，而不是去修讀那些“科學(xué)”和距離他們的生活較遠(yuǎn)的課程。他們?cè)诮逃�目�?biāo)方面和官方觀點(diǎn)不一樣。因此，B)項(xiàng)是正確的答案。

　　50.[答案] C

　　[解析] 綜觀全文只有C)項(xiàng)‘‘有禮貌的”是正確的，排除其它項(xiàng)。

　　Passage Three

　　51.[答案] B

　　[解析] 這道題考核學(xué)生能否根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容進(jìn)行正確的推論。第一段第三句中：‘‘There

　　are，however，vastly different ideas about how to teach it，or how much priority it must be

　　given over general language development and writing ability”，與B)項(xiàng)意思相關(guān)。因此，

　　B)項(xiàng)是正確的答案。

　　52.[答案] D

　　[解析] 這道題的目的主要是檢查學(xué)生在有生詞的情況下能否從文章中獲取信息。在“play safe”這個(gè)短語動(dòng)詞的前面說，如果教師在評(píng)閱學(xué)生作文時(shí)，僅僅把重點(diǎn)放在單詞拼寫正確與否上，則聰明的學(xué)生就很可能“play safe”;其后一句話則說學(xué)生因此就會(huì)避免使用“adventurous language”，而只用自己能夠正確拼寫的詞。因此，D)項(xiàng)是正確的答案。

　　53.[答案] A

　　[解析] 在文章第二段的最后一句話：‘‘That’s why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content rather than technical ability.”點(diǎn)出了目的，即：使他們能夠“pay attention to content”。此句談的是如何在學(xué)生寫作文時(shí)鼓勵(lì)他們擺脫復(fù)雜拼寫規(guī)則的束縛并隨意發(fā)揮的問題，而不是有無信心的問題，故C)項(xiàng)是錯(cuò)的。文章中未提及教師可以少改一些錯(cuò)誤(B項(xiàng))，或?qū)W生可學(xué)會(huì)不依賴教師(D項(xiàng))，以上三項(xiàng)均應(yīng)被排除。因此，A)項(xiàng)是正確的答案。

　　54.[答案] B

　　[解析] 這道題要求學(xué)生推斷作者對(duì)某位教師評(píng)閱學(xué)生作文時(shí)所持的態(tài)度。本題有一定的難度，但只要細(xì)心閱讀，就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)第三段第一句的謂語動(dòng)詞“shocked”一詞集中體現(xiàn)了作者的態(tài)度。因此，B)項(xiàng)是正確的答案。

　　55.[答案] D

　　[解析] 這道題問及本文的中心思想。粗讀文章就可以看出本文的中心思想是關(guān)于單詞的正確拼寫和寫作內(nèi)容的關(guān)系。因?yàn)榈谝欢蔚淖詈笠痪湓捴赋?ldquo;The problem is，how to…with the complexities of spelling”，第二段的最后一句又說“That’s why teachers…rather than technical ability”。文中雖然提到A)項(xiàng)和B)項(xiàng)，但它們不是本文的中心。文章也沒有提到作文評(píng)分的正確方法(C項(xiàng))，以上三項(xiàng)均應(yīng)被排除。因此，D)項(xiàng)是正確的答案。

　　Passage Four

　　56.[答案] D

　　[解析] 這道題的關(guān)鍵是搞清楚人們能否早起同什么有關(guān)。根據(jù)文章第一段，早晨起不來是與一個(gè)人每天的能量周期有關(guān)。根據(jù)第二段中John的自言自語，以及緊接著的解釋：“John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening”推理，如果一個(gè)人早上不能早起，這個(gè)人的能量高峰就很可能在下午或晚上。第一段第二句說得很清楚：“早晨起不來可能有人稱之為懶惰，但Kleitman博士卻另有解釋”，可見A)項(xiàng)不是答案。第三段講到“你無法改變自己的能量周期，但你可以使你的生活適應(yīng)這一周期”，可見并不存在“拒絕遵守能量周期”的問題，B)項(xiàng)也不對(duì)。C)項(xiàng)在文中未提及，以上三項(xiàng)均應(yīng)被排除。因此，D)項(xiàng)是正確的答案。

　　57.[答案] A

　　[解析] 這道題要求看懂文章第二段的最后一句話：“Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean，and which cycle each member of the Family has.”該句的意思是“如果丈夫和妻子能明白能量周期是怎么回事，了解家庭每個(gè)成員有什么樣的周期，很多家庭的爭(zhēng)吵就會(huì)停止”。也就是說，家庭爭(zhēng)吵的發(fā)生是因?yàn)檎煞蚝推拮硬涣私饽芰恐芷谑窃趺椿厥�，更談不上了解每個(gè)家庭成員有什么樣的能量周期了。因此，A)項(xiàng)是正確的答案。

　　58.[答案] C

　　[解析] 這道題要求學(xué)生依據(jù)文章第三段中最后兩句話的信息做出判斷。這兩句話說：“…rise before your usual hour…work better at your low point”。因此，C)項(xiàng)是正確的答案。

　　59.[答案] A

　　[解析] 這道題考查學(xué)生的推理判斷能力�；卮疬@一問題應(yīng)看懂文章最后一段的第一句話：“Get off to a slow start which saves your energy.”(“早上慢慢起床可以節(jié)省能量。”)，后面的三句話都是慢慢起床的具體做法。因此，A)項(xiàng)是正確的答案。

　　60.[答案] B

　　[解析] 這道題要求找出四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中與文章內(nèi)容不符的選項(xiàng)。第二段第六句：No one has discovered why this is so”的意思是“沒有人發(fā)現(xiàn)為什么會(huì)有不同的能量周期”，既然沒有人清楚這一點(diǎn)，Kleitman博士也不可能解釋為什么人們會(huì)在一天的不同時(shí)刻達(dá)到能量高峰。因此，正確答案是B)項(xiàng)。

　　Passage Five

　　61.[答案] D

　　[解析] 這道題考查概括能力， A)項(xiàng)回顧計(jì)算機(jī)的早期狀況。B)項(xiàng)說明計(jì)算機(jī)可能出現(xiàn)的技術(shù)問題。C)項(xiàng)試圖勸阻人們花錢購買不必要的計(jì)算機(jī)。D)項(xiàng)告誡人們防止對(duì)計(jì)算機(jī)產(chǎn)生懶惰的依賴心理。文章未涉及以上三項(xiàng)內(nèi)容，故應(yīng)全被排除。因此，D)項(xiàng)是正確的答案。

　　62.[答案] B

　　[解析] 這道題考查學(xué)生辨認(rèn)具體事實(shí)的能力。答案就在本文的第一句話中：“In what now seems like the prehistoric times of computer history,the earth’s postwar era，there was quite a wide-spread concern that computers would take over the world from man one day.”其意為，在現(xiàn)在看來似乎是計(jì)算機(jī)歷史的史前時(shí)期，即戰(zhàn)后的年代里，人們普遍擔(dān)憂有朝一日計(jì)算機(jī)會(huì)從人類手中奪過對(duì)世界的控制權(quán)。本題題干中的“the initial concern”(初時(shí)的擔(dān)憂)指的就是那時(shí)人們的擔(dān)憂。因此，B)項(xiàng)是正確的答案。

　　63.[答案] A

　　[解析] 這道題的題干雖然用了“The passage recommends…”的措辭，實(shí)際上是考查對(duì)第二段的理解。這句話的重點(diǎn)在“but”之后，作者認(rèn)為“當(dāng)你感到有什么地方不對(duì)時(shí)，一定要復(fù)查”(people should…check the machine when they have the feeling that something has gone wrong)。因此，A)項(xiàng)是正確的答案。

　　64.[答案] B

　　[解析] 這道題考查對(duì)本文深層含義的理解，既然是“suggests”(暗示)，肯定不是明示，所以不能從本文中直接找到答案。但是從第一段第三句開始的：“People tend to be…”一句話，其意為，人們往往過分信賴計(jì)算機(jī)，也不愿意挑戰(zhàn)它的權(quán)威性。他們似乎并不知道也可能會(huì)按錯(cuò)鍵，或者計(jì)算機(jī)也可能有運(yùn)行錯(cuò)誤;和第二段第一句中說的：“…but people should also rely on their own internal computers and check the machine when they have the feeling that something has gone wrong.”其意為，人們也應(yīng)該信賴自身的計(jì)算能力，一旦感覺有錯(cuò)，就要進(jìn)行復(fù)查，這里暗示出當(dāng)前的問題是人們對(duì)計(jì)算機(jī)有過分依賴的心理。因此，B)項(xiàng)是正確的答案。

　　65.[答案] D

　　[解析] 這是一道推斷題，考查學(xué)生是否能從作者的議論中推斷出作者贊成什么、反對(duì)什么。縱觀全文，作者反對(duì)的是完全依賴計(jì)算機(jī)。因此，D)項(xiàng)是正確的答案。

　　Passage Six

　　66.[答案] C

　　[解析] 要回答該問題，首先要讀懂全篇文章，特別是第一段的內(nèi)容，再弄清四個(gè)選項(xiàng)的不同含義。A)項(xiàng)批評(píng)的，B)項(xiàng)懷疑的，C)項(xiàng)贊同的，D)項(xiàng)客觀的。根據(jù)第一段的內(nèi)容，可以看出作者對(duì)混合編班持贊同的態(tài)度。因此，C)項(xiàng)是正確的答案。

　　67.[答案] D

　　[解析] 根據(jù)上下文，這個(gè)詞組的意思是“阻擋、阻止……發(fā)展”。因此，D)項(xiàng)是正確的答案。

　　68.[答案] B

　　[解析] 從第二段的內(nèi)容可以看出，作者認(rèn)為教師主要關(guān)心的應(yīng)該是學(xué)生的“total personality”(總體素質(zhì))，其中包括“academic ability”、“intellectual ability，personal qualities”和“social skills”，即這些能力是總體素質(zhì)的各個(gè)方面。因此，B)項(xiàng)是正確的答案。

　　69.[答案] D

　　[解析] 這道題要求學(xué)生看懂文章第三段的意思，并做出正確的判斷。該段中的“to learn to cooperate，to share，and to develop leadership skills”(Line 2，Para.3)表明A)項(xiàng)和C)項(xiàng)都已提到，因而都不是答案，均應(yīng)被排除。該段中的“learning how to think，to make decisions，to analyze and evaluate”(Lines 3-4，Para.3)，包含了B)項(xiàng)提及的“learn to develop their reasoning abilities”，可以排除B)項(xiàng)。因此，D)項(xiàng)是正確的答案。

　　70.[答案] A

　　[解析] 這道題要求學(xué)生了解這篇文章的主題。文章中討論了兩種上課的方式：streaming pupils，即把學(xué)生按能力分班進(jìn)行教學(xué)，和mixed-ability teaching，即讓程度不齊的學(xué)生混班上課，并列舉了前者的弊端和后者的優(yōu)點(diǎn)。B)項(xiàng)、C)項(xiàng)、D)項(xiàng)中提到的幾種做法只是mixed-ability teaching的具體做法，不是作者寫這篇文章的目的。因此，A)項(xiàng)是正確的答案。
