26、reactionsD.movements四、BSection Readi(总题数：3，分数：30.00)BText 1/BLast 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 p

27、romote critical thinking 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

28、come to regard as 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 a

29、pparently confident, 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 moder

30、n society. That confidence 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, th

31、ose are just the 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

32、 teachers think that 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 p

33、lain guesswork ! 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.h

34、is appointment as 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 studen

36、 othersD.feel confident in the face of challenges(4).The businessman prefer to see in his employees_. A the willingness to work alone on academic research BI the ability to do simple calculations and plain guesswork C the willingness to take business risks D the ability to solve problems in the real

37、 world（分数：2.00）A.B.C.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 employeesBText 2/BPove

38、rty exists 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

39、rich only 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. Pov

40、erty ensures 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 go

41、vernment 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 automob

42、iles, 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

43、to lack. 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 i

44、s no intentional, 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.th

45、e wealthy 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 pr

46、essuresB.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

47、bread 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

48、 to change 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 PovertyBText 3/BToday men are facing new expectations and new choices about their commitments to society, family, and 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.
