2、p from some famous professors, but their office-hours were only once a week and there were always students waiting outside. At first, I was too polite to get their help. Then I realized that Chinese politeness does not work in this society. I needed to be aggressive to get what I wanted. I also noti

3、ced that Chinese students or Asian students were very polite in class while American students often interrupted the professor, asking questions and dominating the discussion. The Chinese students were not as aggressive as American students.I was impressed by the role of the professor in the class. T

4、he professor didnt act as an authority, giving final conclusions, but as a researcher looking for answers to questions together with the students. One linguistic feature of his interacting with his students was that he used many modal verbs-far more than I did in Beiwai. When answering questions, he

5、 usually said: “this is my personal opinion and it could be wrong. It would be a good idea if you could read the book I mentioned the other day.” Or,“ You may find the book I recommended helpful.” Or,“You could be right, but you might find this point of view also interesting.” When making comments o

6、n students performances, the professor usually said:” It might have been much clearer if you had taken in some of the ideas we discussed earlier this semester.”In China, authorities are always supposed to give wise decisions and correct directions. Therefore students always expect the professor to g

7、ive an answer to the question. I still remember how annoyed they were when foreign teachers did not provide such an answer. Their expectations from authorities are much higher than those of American students. Once the Chinese students got the answer, they were sure about it. That is why they make fa

8、r more certain statement than American students. That is why Chinese students find it difficult to use modal verbs because the function of modal verbs is to provide room for negotiation and different ideas.1. The American professors use many modal verbs because they want to_. A. argue with their stu

9、dents B. be more sure about their answers C. express their ideas more clearly D. develop their students own way of thinking2. Which of the following statements best expresses the authors idea? A. Chinese professors can always give correct answer to the question. B. American professors are not respon

10、sible since they dont give students answers. C. American education produces aggressive students. D. Education in China is not helpful in developing students creativity.3. Which of the following methods did the author mainly employ in developing the article?A. Comparison and contrast. B. Cause and ef

11、fect. C. Giving examples. D. Description.4. What is the authors attitude towards education in U.S.?A. Positive B. Negative C. Neutral D. Unsure B So long as teachers fail to distinguish between teaching and learning, they will continue to undertake to do for what only children can do for&#

12、160;themselves. Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them. It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that "reading cannot be taught directly and schools should stop trying to do the impossible."  

13、60; Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They differ in kind and function. The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read.

14、 Teaching is also a public activity: It can be seen and observed.   Learning to read involves all that each individual does not make sense of the world of printed language. Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process is 

15、not open to public scrutiny. If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable, what then can be done through teaching will aid the child in knowledge. Smith has one principal rule for all teaching instructions. "Make learning to read easy, which means making reading

16、 a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children."   When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teacher and learner fulfill them appropriately, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is eliminated

17、. Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of learning to read by reading. 5. The problem with the reading course as mentioned in the first paragraph is that_. A. it is one of the most diffic

18、ult school coursesB. students spend endless hours in readingC. reading tasks are assigned with little guidanceD. too much time is spent in teaching of reading6. The word "scrutiny"（Para.3）most probably means_.A. inquiry B. observation C. control D. suspect7. The main idea of the passa

19、ge is that _.A. teachers should do as little as possible in helping students learn to readB. teachers should encourage students to read as widely as possibleC. reading ability is something acquired rather than taughtD. reading is more complicated than generally believed C Being s

20、ociable looks like a good way to add years to your life. Relationships with family, friends, neighbors, even pets, will all help, but the biggest longevity (长寿) seems to come from marriage. The effect was first noticed in 1858 by William Farr, who wrote that widows and widowers (鳏夫) were at a much h

21、igher risk of dying than the married people. Studies since then suggest that marriage could add as much as seven years to a mans life and two to a womans. The effect can be seen in all causes of death, whether illness, accident or self-harm. Even if the chances are all against you, marriage can more

22、 than compensate you. Linda Waite of the University of Chicago has found that a married older man with heart disease can expect to live nearly four years longer than an unmarried man with a healthy heart. Similarly, a married man who smokes more than a pack a day is likely to live as long as a divor

23、ced man who doesnt smoke. Theres a flip side, however, as partners are more likely to become ill or die in the couple of years following their husband or wifes death, and caring for your husband or wife with mental disorder can leave you with some of the same severe problems. Even so, the chances fa

24、vor marriage. In a 30-year study of more than 10,000 people, Nicholas Christakis of Harvard Medical School describes how all kinds of social networks have similar effects. So how does it work? The effects are complicated, affected by socio-economic factors, health-service provision, emotional suppor

25、t and other more physiological mechanisms(生理机制). For example, social contact can promote development of the brain and immune system, leading to better health and less chance of depression later in life. People in supportive relationships may handle stress better. Then there are the psychological ben

26、efits of a supportive partner. A life partner, children and good friends are all recommended if you aim to live to 100. The overall social network is still being mapped out, but Christakis says: "People are inter-connected, so their health is inter-connected."8. It can be inferred from the

27、 context that the "flip side" (Para. 2) refers to _.A. the disadvantages of being married.B. the emotional problems arising from marriage.C. the responsibility of taking care of one's family.D. the consequence of a broken marriage.9. What does the author say about social networks?A. Th

We should share our social networks with each other. 第二节 阅读填空（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）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。选项中有两项为多余选项Rainy days may ruin some cheerful plans for o
