　　答案與解析

　　[語篇解讀]　本文通過一節科學課，向人們展示了教育是如何幫助人們成功的。這堂課還向學生展示了人們不能憑感覺做事，對于一些無形的東西，只能通過科學的方法才能發現。

　　1．C　從第二段第6空后可知，此處應填 science。science course，“科學課”。

　　2．D　教授走進演講大廳。search for 尋找；look at 看；get through

　　完成；打通電話；march into 走進。根據句意，D項正確。

　　3．B　教授讓學生們猜罐子里有多少豆子。count 數；guess 猜；report 報告；watch 看，觀看。因為豆子裝在罐子里，同學們只有猜一下有多少。另外第4空后出現了 guesses 一詞。

　　4．D　根據上下文意思可知，學生們喊出答案，教授聽到他們錯誤的猜測，笑了。

　　5．C　因學生們的答案錯誤，所以教授給出正確答案，correct 與 wrong 相對。

　　6．A　你們學到了關于科學的重要一課。learn...about，“學會關于……的知識”。prepare 準備；teach 教；take 拿走。

　　7．B　根據上文可知，同學們憑感覺給出了錯誤的答案，所以教授說：永遠不要相信自己的感覺。lose 失去；trust 相信；sharpen 變鋒利；show 顯示。

　　8．D　此處指上文提到的 a woman，也就是指上面回憶自己經歷的人，因此選D。

　　9．C　describe 描述；respect 尊敬；see 看見；serve 服務。當他鼓勵他的學生對未知世界進行激動人心的航行時，他自己看到了。

　　10．A　voyage 航行；movement 運動；change 改變；rush 沖。根據第9題解析，可知A項正確。

　　11．B　未知世界對人眼來說是無形的，故B項正確。

　　12．D　未知世界只有通過科學方法才能發現。model 模型；sense 感官，感覺；spirit 精神；method 方法。

　　13．A　17歲的女孩不能接受，甚至也不聽他的激勵。hear 聽；make 成為；present 呈現；refuse 拒絕。

　　14．B　對于一個17歲的女孩來說，她只是剛剛開始理解這個世界。begin to do sth.，“開始干某事”。

　　15．A　她相信她的第一手經驗就是對的。believe 相信；doubt 懷疑；prove 證明；explain 解釋。

　　16．D　growth 成長；strength 力氣；faith 信仰；truth 真實。根據第15題的解釋可知D項正確。

　　17．C　由 however 可知此處表轉折，盡管她認為她的想法是對的，但是教授認為她的想法是不對的。firm 堅定的；interesting 有趣的；wrong 錯誤的；acceptable 可接受的。

　　18．B　從上文可知這個小女孩憑經驗、憑感覺來了解世界，而教授認為不對，因此教授把她了解世界的工具拿走了。

　　19．C　根據下文可知，這個女孩再也沒有聽教授上課，因為教授的做法和觀點使她害怕了。cruel 殘酷的；proud 自豪的；frightened 害怕的；brave 勇敢的。

　　20．A　因為害怕，所以下午就沒來上課。drop 在此表示“輟學”。

　　.閱讀理解

　　(2010·湖北高考)This brief book is aimed at high school students, but speaks to anyone learning at any stage of life.

　　Its formal, serious style closely matches its content, a school-masterly book on schooling.The author, W．H.Armstrong, starts with the basics: reading and writing.In his opinion，reading doesn't just mean recognizing each word on the page; it means taking in the information, digesting it and incorporating it into oneself just as one digests a sandwich and makes it a part of himself.The goal is to bring the information back to life, not just to treat it as dead facts on paper from dead trees.Reading and writing cannot be completely separated from each other; in fact, the aim of reading is to express the information you have got from the text.I've seen it again and again：someone who can't express an idea after reading a text is just as ineffective as someone who hasn't read it at all.

　　Only a third of the book remains after that discussion, which Armstrong devotes to specific tips for studying languages，math, science and history.He generally handles these topics thoroughly(透徹地)and equally，except for some weakness in the science and math sections and a bit too much passion(激情) regarding history.Well, he was a history teacher—if conveyed only a tenth of his passion to his students, that was a hundred times more than my history teachers ever got across.To my disappointment, in this part of the book he ignores the arts.As a matter of fact, they demand all the concentration and study that math and science do, though the study differs slightly in kind.Although it's commonly believed that the arts can only be naturally acquired，actually, learning the arts is no more natural than learning French or mathematics.

　　My other comment is that the text aged.The first edition apparently dates to the 1960s—none of the references(參考文獻) seem newer than the late 1950s.As a result，the discussion misses the entire computer age.

　　These are small points, though，and don't affect the main discussion.I recommend it to any student and any teacher，including the self-taught student.

　　1．According to Armstrong, the goal of reading is to________.

　　A．gain knowledge and expand one's view

　　B．understand the meaning between the lines

　　C．express ideas based on what one has read

　　D．get information and keep it alive in memory

　　2．The author of the passage insists that learning the arts____.

　　A．requires great efforts

　　B．demands real passion

　　C．is less natural than learning maths

　　D．is as natural as learning a language

　　3．What is a shortcoming of Armstrong's work according to the author?

　　A．Some ideas are slightly contradictory.

　　B．There is too much discussion on studying science.

　　C．The style is too serious.

　　D．It lacks new information.

　　4．This passage can be classified as________.

　　A．an advertisement

　　B．a book review

　　C．a feature story

　　D．a news report

　　答案與解析

　　[語篇解讀]　本文是一篇說明文，介紹了一本圖書的讀者對象、寫作風格，以及作者對該書某些內容的評價，最后作者將本書推薦給所有的老師和學生，包括自學的學生。

　　1．C　推理判斷題。關于閱讀，本文推薦的這本書的作者Armstrong說，閱讀不僅僅是要求認識每頁的每個單詞，而且要吸收閱讀材料的信息并咀嚼消化，“閱讀的目的就是將你所學到的信息表達出來”，這與C項陳述吻合：“根據所閱讀的材料來表達自己的思想”。A項意為“獲得知識，開闊視野”；B項意為“體會字里行間的含義”；D意為“獲得信息并儲存在記憶中”，這些都不是Armstrong認為的閱讀的目的。

　　2．A　事實細節題。由第三段可知：作者推薦的這本書忽視了藝術。盡管學習的方式各不相同，但藝術的學習需要和學習數學及自然科學一樣的專注和努力。由此判斷A項正確。注意此段中的study在此表示“努力，用功”。作者介紹該書的時候說，書的作者對歷史太富有激情(B項不正確)，第三段說學習藝術與學習法語或數學一樣需要后天的努力(C、D兩項錯)。

　　3．D　事實細節題。本文提到該書的一些缺點，比如關于自然科學和數學部分的內容比較薄弱，第四段說，另外一個問題是書上援引的參考文獻太陳舊，最新的也不超過20世紀50年代，因此本書的討論部分完全沒有涉及電腦時代。由此判斷選D，作者覺得該書的一個缺點是沒有新信息。A項意為“有些觀點自相矛盾”；B項意為“關于研究自然科學方面的討論太多”；C項意為“書的風格過于嚴肅”，在本文都沒有提到。

　　4．B　推理判斷題。從文章的敘述看，本文不是一篇廣告、專訪故事或資訊報道，而是一篇書評，從各方面比較中肯地評價一本書，指出其優點與不足，并向各位讀者推薦該書。
