上海龙凤1314 shlf　　Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:

　　It is simple enough to say that since books have classes?fiction, biography,　poetry—we should separate them and take from each what it is right that each should give us. Yet few people ask from books what books can give us. Most commonly we come to books with blurred and divided minds, asking of fiction that it shall be true, of poetry that it shall be false, of biography that it shall be flattering, of history that it shall enforce our own prejudices. If we could banish all such preconception when we read, that would be an admirable beginning. Do not dictate to your author; try to become him. Be his fellow?worker and accomplice(同谋).

　　If you hang back, and reserve and criticize at first, you are preventing yourself from getting the fullest possible value from what you read. But if you open your mind as widely as possible, then signs and hints of almost imperceptible finess(委婉之处), from the twist and turn of the first sentences, will bring you into the presence of a human being unlike any other. Steep yourself in this, acquaint yourself with this, and soon you will find that your author is giving you, or attempting to give you, something far more definite. The thirty?two chapters of anovel—if we consider how to read a novel first—are an attempt to make something as formed and controlled as a building but words are more impalpable than bricks, reading is a longer and more complicated process than seeing. Perhaps the quickest way to understand the elements of what a novelist is doing is not to read, but to write; to make your own experiment with the dangers and difficulties of words. Recall, then, some event that has left a distinct impression on you—how at the corner of the street, perhaps, you passed two people talking. A tree shook; an electric light danced; the tone of the talk was comic, but also tragic; a whole vision, an entire conception, seemed contained in that moment.

上海龙凤1314 shlf　　Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:

上海龙凤1314 shlf　　According to the dictionary definition of “create”, ordinary people are creative every day. To create means “to bring into being, to cause to exist”—something each of us does daily.

上海龙凤1314 shlf　　?We are creative whenever we look at or think about something in a new way. First this involves an awareness of our surroundings. It means using all of our sese to become aware of our world. This may be as simple as being aware of color and texture, as well as taste, when we plan a meal. Above all, it is the ability to notice things that others might miss.

　　?A second part of creativity is an ability to see relationships among things. If we believe the expression, “There is nothing new under the sun,” the creativity is remaking or recombining the old in new ways. For example, we might　do this by finding a more effective way to study or a better way to arrange our　furniture, or we might make a new combination of camera lenses and filters to create an unusual photograph.

　　A third part of creativity is the courage and drive to make use of our new ideas, to apply them to achieve some new results. To think up a new concept is one　thing; to put the idea to work is another.

　　These three parts of creativity are involved in all the great works of genius,　but they are also involved in many of our day?to?day activities.

上海龙凤1314 shlf　　?26.Which of the following activities is NOT a creative one according to the passage?

上海龙凤1314 shlf　　?A.To prepare a meal.

　　?B.To arrange the furniture in a peculiar way.

上海龙凤1314 shlf　　?C.To buy some books from a bookstore.

　　?D.To “write” a letter with the computer.

　　?27.The author holds that ____.

　　?A.creativity is of highly demand

　　?B.creativity is connected with a deep insight to some extent

　　?C.creativity is to create something new and concrete

　　?D.to practise and practise is the only way to cultivate one’s creativity

　　?28.“There is nothing new under the sun.” (Par.3) really implies that ____.

　　?A.we can seldom create new things

上海龙凤1314 shlf　　?B.a new thing is only a tale

上海龙凤1314 shlf　　?C.a new thing can only be created at the basis of original things

上海龙凤1314 shlf　　?D.we can scarcely see really new things in the world

上海龙凤1314 shlf　　?29.What does the author think about the relationship between a new thought and its being put into practice?

　　?A.It’s more difficult to create a new thought than to apply it in practice.

　　?B.To find a new thought will definitely lead to the production of a new thing.

　　?C.One may come up with a new thought, but can not put it into practice.

上海龙凤1314 shlf　　?D.A man with an excellent ability of practice can easily become an inventor.

　　?A.How to Cultivate One’s Creativity

　　?B.What is Creativity

　　?C.The Importance of Creativity

　　?D.Creativity—a Not Farway Thing

　　Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:

　　When I was studying at Yale, some phenomena puzzled me greatly. I found 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 seminar(讨论会). The　professor didn’t act as an authority, giving final conclusions, but as a reseacher looking for answers to questions together with the students. One linguistic(语言的) feature of his interacting with his students was that he used many　modal(情态的) verbs—far more than I did in Beiwai. When answering questions, he　usually said, “This is my personal opinion and it could be wrong.” or “You　could be right, but you might find this point of view also interesting.”

　　?In China, authorities are always supposed to give wise decisions and correct directions. Therefore, students always expect the professor to give an answer to the question. I still remember how frustrated they were when foreign teachers did　not provide such an answer. Their expectations from authorities are much higher　than that of American students. Once the Chinese students got the answer, they were sure about it.

上海龙凤1314 shlf　　Education in China is valued for united thinking. I remember American teachers　who taught in our university complaining about the fact that Chinese students uniformly expressed the same idea in their English composition. The examinations　in America usually do not test a student’s ability to memorize the material but　his ability to analyze and solve problems. Education in America is valued not only as a means to obtain employment but as a process of enhancing critical thinking.

　　?31.In the USA, when the students are in class, ____.

　　?A.a Chinese student tends to be very active

　　?B.an American student likes to make trouble

　　?C.a Chinese student likes to puzzle the teacher

　　?D.an American student tends to be vigorous

上海龙凤1314 shlf　　?32.A teacher in the USA prefers to ____ when he answers questions.

　　?A.be very sincere B.be very direct

　　?C.be very self?confident D.be very indifferent

上海龙凤1314 shlf　　?33.What is the opinion of the author concerning the difference of teaching methods between China and the USA?

上海龙凤1314 shlf　　?A.He thinks that Chinese teaching metods can make students learn more.

　　?B.He holds that the major purpose of Chinese teaching methods is to improve students’ remembrance.

上海龙凤1314 shlf　　?C.He thinks that American teaching is ability?oriented.

　　?D.He holds that American teachers hate to give a test.

上海龙凤1314 shlf　　?34.The author thinks that the relationship between the student and the teacher is ____.

上海龙凤1314 shlf　　?A.more intimate in China B.closer in China

　　?C.looser in USA D.more harmonious in USA

上海龙凤1314 shlf　　?35.The education in USA may produce some ____ graduates.

上海龙凤1314 shlf　　?A.talkative B.conventional

上海龙凤1314 shlf　　?C.creative D.imaginative

上海龙凤1314 shlf　　Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:

　　On?line courses (also called distance learning) are a hot new trend in American education. According to the nonprofit Distance Education and Training Council,about 400 US colleges and schools offer some portion of their programs on the Web. At the university level, they cost the same as traditional classes and require similar weekly assignments and textbook reading, the difference is in class participation.

上海龙凤1314 shlf　　Generally speaking, students congregate(使聚集) on?line throughout each week　to explore topic with the professor, but these discussions occur “asynchronously(不同时发生地)” rather than in real time. (You read others’ comments and post　your own whenever you get a chance.) Written assignments are posted, you email　in your work periodically, and you’re required to take a proctored exam in order to　receive degree credit. Career?boosting business administration and information technology programs are the most popular, but you’ll also find a variety　of literal arts offerings, from film theory to medieval history and foreign language study. While you still can’t get an Ivy League degree on?line, a growing number of elite(卓越的) institutions, including Stanford and New York University are beginning to offer on?line courses.

上海龙凤1314 shlf　　The benefits for busy people are obvious. “I always get a front?row seat,”　says one student studying at the State University of New York Learning Network.“I can get up in the middle of class, grab a cup of coffee. The class is waiting for me when I get back, and I haven’t missed a thing.” On the other hand, some students miss the face?to?face interaction that often sparks interest and involvement.

　　?36.Generally speaking, on?line education costs ____.

　　?A.more than the traditional one

　　?B.less than the traditional one

　　?C.as much as the traditional one

　　?D.the author hasn’t mentioned

上海龙凤1314 shlf　　?C.to e?mail in them

上海龙凤1314 shlf　　?D.to let the teacher enter into their personal main pages

　　?B.there are only a few on?line programs until now
