33、is the best answer. 51 I had a teacher once who called his students “idiots“ when they screwed up. He was our orchestra conductor, a fierce Ukrainian immigrant named Jerry Kupchynsky, and when someone played out of tune, he would stop the entire group to yell, “Who eez deaf in first violins?“ He mad

34、e us rehearse until our fingers almost bled. He corrected our wayward hands and arms by poking at us with a pencil. Today, hed be fired. But when he died a few years ago, he was celebrated: Forty years worth of former students and colleagues flew back to my New Jersey hometown from every corner of t

35、he country, old instruments in tow, to play a concert in his memory. I was among them, toting(携带 )my long-neglected viola. When the curtain rose on our concert that day, we had formed a symphony orchestra the size of the New York Philharmonic. I was stunned by the outpouring for the gruff old teache

36、r we knew as Mr. K. But I was equally struck by the success of his former students. Some were musicians, but most had distinguished themselves in other fields, like law, academia and medicine. Research tells us that there is a positive correlation between music education and academic achievement. Bu

37、t that alone didnt explain the belated surge of gratitude for a teacher who basically tortured us through adolescence. Were in the midst of a national wave of self-recrimination over the U. S. education system. Every day there is hand-wringing over our students falling behind the rest of the world.

38、Fifteen-year-olds in the U. S. trail students in 12 other nations in science and 17 in math. An entire industry of books and consultants has grown up that capitalizes on our collective fear that American education is inadequate and asks what American educators are doing wrong. Comparing Mr. Ks metho

39、ds with the latest findings in fields from music to math to medicine leads to a single, startling conclusion: Its time to revive old-fashioned education. Not just traditional but old-fashioned in the sense that so many of us knew as kids, with strict discipline and unyielding demands. Because heres

40、the thing: It works. Now Im not calling for abuse: Id be the first to complain if a teacher called my kids names. But the latest evidence backs up my modest proposal. Studies have now shown, among other things, the benefits of moderate childhood stress: how praise kills kids self-esteem: and why gri

41、t is a better predictor of success than SAT scores. All of which flies in the face of the kinder, gentler philosophy that has dominated American education over the past few decades. The conventional wisdom holds that teachers are supposed to tease knowledge out of students, rather than pound it into

42、 their heads. Projects and collaborative learning are applauded: traditional methods like lecturing and memorizationderided as “drill and kill“are frowned upon, dismissed as a surefire way to suck young minds dry of creativity and motivation. But the conventional wisdom is wrong. 52 Which of the fol

43、lowing about Jerry Kupchynsky is TRUE? （ A） He tortured his students when they screwed up in the class. （ B） He encouraged his students when they made mistakes. （ C） He was fired for his strict policies toward the students. （ D） He was greatly honored by his students when he died. 53 All of the foll

46、een used up. If people continue to emit greenhouse gases at current rates, the accumulation of carbon in the atmosphere could mean that within as little as two to three decades the world will face nearly inevitable warming of more than 2C , resulting in rising sea levels, heatwaves, droughts and mor

47、e extreme weather. This calculation of the worlds “carbon budget“ was one of the most striking findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC), the expert panel of global scientists who on Friday produced the most comprehensive assessment yet of our knowledge of climate change at the

48、 end of their four-day meeting in Stockholm. The 2,000-plus page report, written by 209 lead authors, also found it was “unequivocal“ that global warming was happening as a result of human actions, and that without “substantial and sustained“ reductions in greenhouse gas emissions we will breach the symbolic threshold of 2 of warming, which governments around the world have pledged not to do. John Kerry, the US secretary of state, said in a statement: “This is yet another wakeup call: those who deny the science or choose excuses over action are playing with fire.“ “Once ag
