25、art A(总题数：0，分数：0.00)七、Text 1(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Last week ,on a flight to Washington, I met a self-assured businessman who asked me about my profession when sitting himself comfortably next to me. I told him that I am an educator, and for twelve years I have been trying to develop and promote critical t
26、hinking about learning in general education.“That must be the most difficult task in the world ! “He thought for a moment. “Why do you do this?“I talked about how I had started teaching geography. I told him about the struggles of being a headmaster. And then I told him what I have come to regard as
27、 my real turning-point experience.It was back in 1984,when I visited what was known at the time as one of the most outstanding high schools on the Eastern seaboard. After two days there I was totally amazed. I had never met such a fine collection of young people, every one of them apparently confide
28、nt, enthusiastic, sensitive and well able to manage their futures. I asked head of the school how this had been achieved and he smiled broadly. “We believe in functional literacy for all young people; that is, the ability to feel confident that you can handle the cballenges of modern society. That c
29、onfidence comes when you know that you are able to manage your own learning and will be able to handle that throughout a lifetime. And that, “he concluded, “requires the highest possible skills in thinking, communicating, collaborating and decision-making.“But, for goodness sake, those are just the
30、skills Im looking for among my employees,“ cried my companion. “Thats just what industrys been trying to tell the academic world for years. Instead of listening, you continue to keep going a set of practices which are counter-productive to those very skills needed in employment. You teachers think t
31、hat life is about working alone on some piece of academic research in an ivory tower far removed from the daily routines and the need to consult other people. You just dont understand about working with confusion, nor do you accept the importance of use based on experience or even plain guesswork !
32、This is the real world. There are real issues. What are you or anyone else going to do about just that?/（分数：10.00）(1).The turning point in the authors teaching career was_.（分数：2.00）A.his encounter with a self-assured businessmanB.his visit to a high school on the Eastern seaboardC.his appointment as
33、 a headmasterD.his teaching of geography(2).When the writer visited a high school on the Eastern seaboard he was impressed most by _.（分数：2.00）A.the confidence of the students in managing their own futureB.the enthusiasm of the headmaster in experimenting with new methodsC.the students critical attit
34、ude toward traditional educationD.the quality of teaching and the intelligence of the students(3).The head of the high school thinks functional literacy is the ability to_.（分数：2.00）A.read, write and make calculationsB.do every assignment on ones ownC.communicate and collaborate with othersD.feel con
35、fident in the face of challenges(4).The businessman prefer to see in his employees_.A the willingness to work alone on academic researchBI the ability to do simple calculations and plain guessworkC the willingness to take business risksD the ability to solve problems in the real world（分数：2.00）A.B.C.
36、D.(5).We can infer from the passage that the businessman_.（分数：2.00）A.is critical of the way students are taught in schoolsB.attaches great importance to work experienceC.thinks highly of the teaching professionD.is not satisfied with the performance of his employees八、Text 2(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Poverty ex
37、ists because our society is an unequal one ,and there are extremely strong and powerful political pressures to keep it that way. Any attempt to redistribute wealth and income in the United States will inevitably be opposed by powerful middle and upper class interests. People can be relatively rich o
38、nly if others are relatively poor, and since power is concentrated in the hands of the rich, public policies will continue to reflect their interests rather than those of the poor.As Herbert Gans (1973) has pointed out, poverty is actually functional from the point of view of the non-poor. Poverty e
39、nsures that“ dirty“ work gets done. If there were, no poor people to scrub floors and empty waste, these jobs would have to be rewarded with high incomes before anyone would touch them. Poverty creates jobs for many of the non-poor, such as police officers, welfare workers, pawnbrokers, and governme
40、nt bureaucrats. Poverty makes life easier for the rich by providing them with cooks, gardeners, and other workers to perform basic chores while their employers enjoy more, pleasurable activities. Poverty provides a market for inferior goods and services, such as day-old bread, run-down automobiles,
41、or the advice of incompetent physicians and lawyers. Poverty makes middle-class values seem acceptable. To the middle class, the fate of the poor who are supposed to lack the virtues of thrift, honesty, and a taste for hard work only confirms the desirability of qualities the poor are thought to lac
42、k. Poverty also provides a group that can be made to absorb the costs of change. For example, the poor suffer the main part or force of unemployment caused by automaton, and it is their homes, not those of the wealthy, that are demolished when a route has to be found for a new highway. There is no i
43、ntentional, conscious “secret plan“ of the wealthy to keep the poor in poverty. It is just that poverty is an inevitable outcome of the American economic system; which the poor are politically powerless to influence change.（分数：10.00）(1).Poverty exists in American society because_.（分数：2.00）A.the weal
44、thy find it hard to change itB.the great majority of the non-poor are totally not concerned about itC.the rich think they are powerless to do anything about itD.the poor lack such desirable qualities as honesty(2).The poor take on“ dirty work“ because they do it _.（分数：2.00）A.under political pressure
45、sB.for the high pay offeredC.as they are reasonably paidD.for low salary to raise themselves and their families(3).Poverty makes life easier for _.（分数：2.00）A.the non-poor as they can get well-paid jobsB.the rich as there are sorts of domestic services availableC.the poor as they can get cheap bread
46、and automobilesD.the businessmen as they can easily find a market for goods and services lower in quality(4).The author thinks that the poor_.（分数：2.00）A.lack such desirable qualities as saving or honestyB.are not inclined to work hardC.are not willing to bear the costs of changeD.have no power to ch
47、ange the present economic system(5).The best title for the text would be_.（分数：2.00）A.An Unequal SocietyB.Political Factors in PovertyC.The Fate of the PoorD.Functions of Poverty九、Text 3(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Today men are facing new expectations and new choices about their commitments to society, family, a
48、nd work. No longer what goals they should pursue, much less how they should pursue them, many men have found themselves in a no-mans land, searching for new meanings and definitions of maturity. In interviews I conducted with 138 men from diverse social and economic background. 36 percent defined th
49、eir family and work commitments in terms of primary breadwinning, and 30 percent chose to eschew parenthood or to avoid involvement with children they had brought into the world.However, about 33 percent had moved toward more rather than less family involvement over the course of their lives. These men develop an outlook on parenthood that included caretaking as well as economic support. They represent a growing group of fathers, most of whom arc married to work-committed women and h
