17、erent ways of viewing the world. Some may have a strong sense of smell and their experiences are 1 through aromas and scents. Others may be particularly visual and react 2 to what they see. A bed of flowers elicits calmness while disarray in the home 3 anxiety. The senses of touch, taste, and hearin
18、g can also be ways of connecting to the world and affect your experience of events, people, and situations. In addition to the senses, your worldview is influenced by the balance between your thoughts and emotions. Many people feel love and affection for puppies. For some, that love will 4 and they
19、will be filled with 5 take the puppy home. They may do so even though they have no room for another pet. Others may smile and 6 the puppy, but resist adopting because they do not have the time and money it takes to care for an animal. If you act more 7 your emotions, knowing and understanding what y
20、ou are feeling will help you be 8 in making wise choices. Being able to name your emotions and identify the reasons for your feelings will be important. Confusing anxiety and excitement could mean missing out on important events. Confusing excitement and happiness could mean pursuing new experiences
21、 and losing out on 9 . Maybe you label your thoughts as emotions. For example, you might react to an event with the words “I feel so betrayed.“ In truth, betrayal is not a feeling but an action that you label in your thoughts. You may feel sad, angry, or hurt 10 betrayal or even at the thought that
22、you have been betrayed. （分数：71.00）九、Part Reading Compr(总题数：0，分数：0.00)十、Section A(总题数：1，分数：35.50)Writing code is a terrible way for humans to command computers. Lucky for us, new technology is about to 1 programming languages as useful as Latin. Boston, New York, New Zealand and a whole lot of other
23、places are going crazy for coding courses 2 by Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates. It“s 3 in tech circles to say so and might get me disinvited to parties with the cast of Silicon Valley, but learning a programming language could turn out to be 4 for most kids. We“re approaching an interesting 5 : Compu
24、ters are about to get more brainlike and will understand us on our terms, not theirs. The very nature of programming will shift toward something closer to 6 a new hire how to do his or her job. Using a made-up language to talk to computers goes back to the 1950s, when IBM scientist John Backus creat
25、ed FORTRAN (公式翻译). Since computers then had less processing power than an earthworm, it was much easier for humans to learn ways to give orders to computers than it was to get computers to 7 humans. Over the next six decades, programming languages got 8 sophisticated. But computers are still like Pa

One comes out of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the military“s science lab. Later this year

One of the stranger ironies of language is that our word “school“ comes from the ancient Greek skhole , which means “le
29、isure“ or “free time“. Leisure, of course, is the last thing that students balancing difficult courses with sports, clubs, or internships associate with school. Yet extravagant spending by colleges to finance movie theaters, climbing walls, and even a moving ice cream truck does seem designed to sup
30、port a certain sort of leisure. So what exactly is the connection between school and leisure? B. The link isn“t just a coincidence of Greek. “Liberal arts“ comes from the Latin artes liberales , which referred to the subjects citizens studied in their free time. Leisure is inherent in the very words
31、 “school“ and “liberal arts“, and it“s unsurprising that leisure-enabling wealth was a precondition for school in ancient times. The connection between wealth and educational attainment is still strong. 50 percent of American children from households with a total income of more than $90,000 will ear
32、n a college degree by age 24. Roughly 6 percent of children from families earning less than $35,000 will finish college by the same age. Many other statistics suggest that leisure enables school, yet two key questions are rarely asked: What is the role of leisure during school, and for what sort of
33、leisure do we want education to prepare us? C. When students approach breaks and vacations, it“s common to hear them anticipate extremely happy vegetation (呆板单调的生活): sleeping late, eating well, lounging about, and generally doing as little as possible. After recovering a bit, they might hit the clim
34、bing wall for some Frisbee golf. This is a model of leisure as recreation and amusement. Its imagery and fantastic words flood advertising and college brochures, and after a busy semester filled with work, the impulse for such relaxation is perfectly understandable. D. Yet there is something unsettl
35、ing about the idea of extending vacation activities indefinitely. A brief refreshing rest is appealing, but imagine a lifetime of amusements and entertainment and you enter realms of dystopian (反乌托邦) fiction as varied as Pixar“s WALL-E and Huxley“s Brave New World . E. For this reason, professors an
36、d teachers often want to impart a model of leisure based on the enjoyment of intellectual activity for its own sake. Aristotle articulated precisely such a vision of education in his Politics : “There are branches of learning and education which we must study merely with a view to leisure spent in i
37、ntellectual activity, and these are to be valued for their own sake.“ Most professors agree with Aristotle. They love the thought of former students reading philosophy, science, mathematics, or literature in their free time simply for the pleasure of doing so. Yet if this is a valuable aspiration, i
38、t“s worth considering whether our current educational culture prepares students “to be in leisure well“, as Aristotle puts it. F. It“s wonderful to hear teachers emphasize the intrinsic interest and beauty of a subject, but students also need to experience skhole while still in school. It“s one thin
39、g to be told how fascinating a subject is, but without the leisure to actually experience this, many students are essentially being told “this is interesting, really, take my word for it! Now go read 300 pages before next class.“ However engaging those pages might be, if students simply lack the tim
40、e to appreciate and contemplate the material, they will enjoy the subject less than they would at a leisurely pace of work. Growing to love a subject is like falling in love with someone: it“s nice to linger over the details, and feeling rushed and pressured tends to ruin things. G. Enjoyment of sch
41、ool isn“t just a luxury; it“s an essential part of becoming good at something. Aristotle makes this point best: “It is those who enjoy geometrical (几何学的) thinking that become geometers and grasp the various propositions better, and, similarly, those who are fond of music or of building, and so on, m
42、ake progress in their proper function by enjoying it.“ H. How we study a subject, in other words, affects both how accomplished we become and whether we ever voluntarily return to it in our leisure time. So, are American students learning to love and master the subjects they study? I. More than 500
43、colleges use a test called the Collegiate Learning Assessment to measure academic progress. The results are discouraging: 36 percent of students make absolutely no improvement in writing, complex reasoning, or critical thinking during four years of college. If Aristotle is right that enjoyment drive
44、s accomplishment, then this stunning lack of progress suggests that many students don“t enjoy school at all. And it“s likely that even those who do show improvement would realize larger gains if they enjoyed school more. J. This is not to say that teachers should assign no homework and simply hope t
45、hat students will magically discover the delights of a subject with their leisure time. But the best homework does not feel like homework. It feels like a sufficiently meaningful and enjoyable activity that you might pursue it in your leisure time. By giving brief but meaningful homework, teachers c
46、an allow enjoyment to replace efficiency as a guiding value for students. Excessive quantities of homework, however meaningful, stress and overwhelm students, leading them to focus only on finishing as quickly as possible. This deprives them of the leisure necessary to appreciate and enjoy the conte
47、mplation of a subject, and those who have never experienced the pleasures of a subject are unlikely to spend future leisure time pursuing it. K. If we want students to enjoy intellectual activity for its own sake, compelling them to learn material for the next assignment, midterm, or test is often c
48、ounterproductive. Student motives matter. Instead of administering yet another quiz or test, teachers might ask themselves: How many of my students would want to learn and study this even if it were not on a test? L. The solution is not to eliminate all tests and evaluations, but rather to clarify w
49、hat they reveal. If a deeper purpose of a class is to enable sufficient mastery to later enjoy a subject in leisure time, then a low grade on a test just indicates that a precondition for this sort of rich enjoyment has not yet been achieved. A high grade is not the goal itself; it simply shows a level of command that makes possible a certain kind of activity in leisure. M. The prospect of structuring leisure into courses demands better teaching. If teachers can“t motivate students to pay attention w
