We achieve it actively by direct experience, by testing and proving an idea, or by reasoning
22、.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, its not surprising that we depend on it in our every
23、day 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 and rumor.Did you ever play the game Rumor? It begins when one person writes down a message but doesnt show it to
24、anyone. Then the person whispers it, word for word, to another person. That 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 are compared. Ty
25、pically, the original message has changed.Thats 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(打上标记) i
26、t 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 re-stated as a fact by another, who may in turn be quoted by yet another; and this process may continue, unless it occurs to someo
27、ne to question the facts on which the original writer based his opinion or to challenge the interpretation he placed upon those facts.46. How do we achieve knowledge actively?A. by direct experience B. by testing and proving an ideaC.by reasoning. D. all above- 7 -47. According to the passage, passi
28、ve learning may occur in _.A. doing scientific reasoning B. visiting an exhibition C. solving a math problem D. doing a medical experiment48.

29、 to show that _.A. a message should be delivered in different ways B. a message may be changed when being passed onC. people may have problems with their sense of hearingD. people tend not to believe in what they know as rumor50. What can we infer from the passage?A. Active learning is less importan
30、t.B. Passive learning is not found among scholars.C. Active learning occurs more frequently.D. Passive learning may not be reliable.CWhile driving home after work, Jane Hodgson noticed a car pulled over at the side of the road and a crowd beginning to gather around someone who was lying on the groun
31、d.Jane, who had completed a first aid at work course, pulled over to see if she could offer any help and it turned out to be lucky for the young injured girl that she did.Describing the scene she came across, Jane says: “The onlookers were ashen-faced and looking lost. They were so shocked that they
32、 hadnt even thought to call for an ambulance yet.”After speaking to the emergency services, Jane started finding out what had happened and what injuries the young girl called Jenny had. The girl had been - 8 -hit by a car and gone over the handlebars of her bike, landing on her head and shoulder. He
33、r shoulder and arm were twisted (扭曲) underneath her. “She hadnt been wearing a helmet (头盔) when she got knocked down, and I thought that she should not be moved as I couldnt be sure about a spinal injury (脊椎损伤), but after looking her over and checking the circulation in her injured arm I did feel fa
34、irly confident that she had escaped relatively unhurt.“As we were waiting for an ambulance, the amount of pain the girl was in was increasing. To distract (分散注意力) her and minimize the risk of her going into shock I kept her talking. She held my hand tightly when the pain got too much and this helped
35、. I told her I could handle it we laughed about that,” describes Jane.Later, a doctor from the local hospitals ICU stopped at the scene too. The ICU doctor decided that Jenny should lie on her back, making her much more comfortable until the emergency services arrived.Thinking back, Jane says: “For
36、me, knowing that in a small way I helped that girl through what was a frightening experience is all the reward I need. I felt great to know Id made a difference and Id do it again.”51We can learn from the text that Jane Hodgson _.A. is a first aid trainer B. has learned some first aidC. is an ICU do

Just think what you could do with an extra hour or two ea
40、ch day: you could finally stick to an exercise routine, or springclean the house, or write your novel, or learn the guitar and so on._56_ But I can help you find more hours in your day for the things that really matter. Get Out of Bed EarlierIf you normally get up at 7：30 am., try getting up at 7：00
41、 am. That halfhour might not sound like much, but it could be time that you use to exercise, to read that book youve been meaning to finish. _57_ Do the Important Tasks FirstOnce you get to work, get the important ones done first (not the easy ones, or even the urgent ones). You can afford to spend
42、at least an hour working on big, important tasks rather than on all those little urgent ones._58_ The urgent tasks will still get done, and you wont miss the important ones. Reduce InterruptionsIf colleagues have a habit of hanging around your desk to chat, or if the phone is constantly ringing, you
43、 might find that it takes you half the day to finish a simple task like writing a letter. Continuous interruptions dont just eat up time, they also break your concentration. When youve got a big task to - 10 -focus on, let your calls go to voicemail. _59_ .Wearing headphones(耳机) makes it less likely
44、 that people will try to begin a conversation. _60_A few minutes chatting, browsing the web, and so on, can easily turn into hours of wasted time over the course of a day. If your concentration is slipping, take a proper break: go and get a glass of water, or stretch your legs a bit. And if youre fa
45、cing a difficult task, try breaking it into small steps or stages so that its easier to deal with.AIf you have an office door, close it. BTake Breaks When NecessaryC Stay Focused on Your WorkDWould you want me to make your day longer?E If you work like this, youll usually save time.FOr simply to get
46、 your day off to a calm and organized start.G. I cant magically make all your days 25 hours long.第 II 卷第一节：语法填空(每题 1.5 分,满分 15 分)阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容。Many people believe that they just have bad memories, and that theres little they can do to improve their memories, _61_ is actually not true. There are
47、 many ways to improve memory when your _62_ (able) to remember seems poor.As far as exercising is concerned, aerobic exercises (有氧运动) like walking, biking, swimming, and dancing are probably the most helpful. These improve your memory by _63_ (give) you more oxygen, and oxygen is _64_ brain cells gr
48、ow healthily upon.There is another thing that you need to pay attention to: enough sleep. A recent study _65_ (do) among students suggested that those who often stay up generally have _66_ (low) grade point averages than those who get enough sleep before tests, where “enough” is defined as _67_ leas
49、t eight hours a night.Though your brain is not a muscle, it _68_ (usual) works like one. You must keep using it and testing it _69_ (keep) your memory sharp. Give yourself - 11 -tests and challenges, like memorizing short poems and bits of information. Reading is also _70_ good way to stay mentally activ
