8、rning (sometimes called un-schooling or self-directed learning) is one of those concepts that are almost easier to explain by saying what it isn“t, than what it is. And that“s probably because our own schooled backgrounds have convinced us that learning happens only in a dedicated building on certai
9、n days, between certain hours, and managed by a specially trained professional. Within that schooling framework, no matter how hard teachers try and no matter how good their textbooks, many bright students get bored, many slower students struggle and give up or lose their self-respect, and most of t
10、hem reach the end of the process unprepared to enter into society. They have memorized a certain body of knowledge long enough to rush back the information on tests, but they haven“t really learnt much, at least of the official curriculum. Life learners, on the other hand, know that learning is not
11、difficult, that people learn things quite easily if they“re not compelled and forced, if they see a need to learn something, and if they are trusted and respected enough to learn it on their own timetable, at their own speed, in their own way. They know that learning cannot be produced in us and tha
12、t we cannot produce it in othersno matter what age and no matter whether we“re at school or at home. Life learning is independent of time, location or the presence of teacher . It does not require mom or dad to teach, or kids to work in workbooks at the kitchen table from 9 to noon from September to
13、 June. Life learning is learner-driven. It involves living and learning in and from the real world. It is about exploring, questioning, experimenting, making messes, taking risks without fear of making mistakes, being laughed at and trying again. Furthermore, life learning is about trusting kids to
14、learn what they need to know and about helping them to learn and grow in their own ways. It is about providing positive experiences that enable children to understand the world and their culture and to interact with it.（分数：10.00）(1).It is implied in the text that it is hard to _.（分数：2.00）A.carry lif

19、 increase in crime does. Apple yard observed this by fir house in San Francisco that looked much alike and had middle-class and working-class residents. The difference was that only 2,000 cars a day ran down Octavia in Apple yard“s terminology while Gough Street (MEDIUM street) had 9,000 cars a day
20、and Franklin Street (HEAVY street) had around 16,000 cars a day. Franklin Street often had as many cars in an hour as Octavia Street had in a day. Heavy traffic brought with it danger, noise, fumes, and soot, directly, and trash secondarily. That is, the cars didn“t bring in much trash, but when tra
21、sh accumulated, residents seldom picked it up. The cars, Apple yard determined, reduced the amount of territory residents felt responsible for. Noise was a constant intrusion into their homes. Many Franklin Street residents covered their doors and windows and spent most of their time in the rear of
22、their houses . Most families with children had already left. Conditions on Octavia Street were much different. Residents picked up trash. They sat on their front steps and chatted with neighbors. They had three times as many friends and twice as many acquaintances as the people on Franklin. On Gough
23、 Street, residents said that the old feeling of community was disappearing as traffic increased. People were becoming more and more preoccupied with their own lives. A number of families had recently moved. And more were considering it. Those who were staying expressed deep regret at the destruction

28、数：10.00)The dog has always been considered man“s best friend. Always noted for being particular faithful in watching over children, he also has his place by the fireside, in the cow pasture, on the sheep range, and beside the hunter or blind. He is easy to train, works hard, and often performs aston
29、ishing feats. And in the frozen polar regions, he was once the principal motive power, before being largely replaced by the plane and helicopter . Because he howls or whines in the presence of impending death, the dog was once thought to have supernatural powers and believed to be capable of seeing
30、gods and ghosts invisible to people. Actually, the basis for these beliefs lies in the dog“s sensitivity to people“s feelings and his superior hearing ability and sense of smell, which enable him to detect signs hidden from human observation. His record of saving lives is outstanding, for he often g
31、ives warning of fire and other dangers not noticed by his master. The dog“s major contribution, however, has been to medical research. Both his diet and his structure are comparable to those of the human being, and so he has been the subject, of countless demonstrations and experiments. Open-heart s
32、urgery has been made possible largely because of the dog. But his sacrifice has repaid his own species as well by safeguarding it from rabies(狂犬病), distemper, and other diseases.（分数：10.00）(1).The dog has always been noted for _.（分数：2.00）A.protecting childrenB.assisting shepherdsC.helping huntersD.he

34、shing feats(4).The dog has been of most valuable to people in the development of _.（分数：2.00）A.a treatment of rabiesB.open-heart surgeryC.a cure for distemperD.all of the above(5).The article does not say whether the scientists“ experiments with dog have _.（分数：2.00）A.benefited animals other than dogs
35、B.served peopleC.helped other dogsD.contributed to medical knowledge六、Passage Four(总题数：1，分数：10.00)The food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health. Although science has made enormous steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some resear
36、ch has shown that perhaps eighty percent of cancer is related to the diet as well, especially cancer of the colon. Different cultures are more prone to contract certain illnesses because of the food that is characteristic in these cultures. That food related to illness is not a new discovery. In 194
37、5, government researchers realized that nitrates and nitrites, commonly used to preserve color in meats, and other food additives, caused cancer. Yet, these carcinogenic additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which things on the packaging labels of processed
38、 food are helpful or harmful. The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to beef and poultry, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cows. Sometimes similar drugs are administered to animals not for medicinal purposes, but for finan
39、cial reasons . The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market. Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices continue.（分数：10.00）(1).What is the main topic of the passage?（分数：2.00）A.

43、in the second sentence of paragraph 2 most probably refers to _.（分数：2.00）A.farmerB.penicillinC.beef and poultryD.the fact that farmers often give penicillin to a beef七、Part Translation f(总题数：0，分数：0.00)八、Part Writing(总题数：1，分数：15.00)21.Competition and Cooperation Outline: (1)当今社会竞争很重要 (2)合作精神也不可缺 Word

47、compared to“被比作”.生活常常被很多作家比作施舞台。5.Television makes us better _ than ever before.（分数：1.00）A.informB.informingC.informed D.to be informed解析：inform 是及物动词，前面的 us 是它的逻辑宾语，所以要用被动形式，可排除 A 和 B 项。Make +宾语+done，固定搭配，“使某事被做”。make us informed 使我们了解(更多的)信息。Inform：通知，给提供信息。6.You could have done much better yester
