20、C or D on ANSWER SHEET 1. 28 Statuses are marvelous human inventions that enable us to get along with one another and to determine where we “fit“ in society. As we go about our everyday lives, we mentally attempt to place people in terms of their statuses. For example, we must judge whether the pers

Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.

30、 48 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 thinking about learning in general educat

31、ion. “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 my real turning-point experience. It

32、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 confident, enthusiastic, sensitive and well

33、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 confidence comes when you know that yo

34、u 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 skills Im looking for among my empl

35、oyees,“ 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 that life is about working alone on

36、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 ! This is the real world. There are r

37、eal issues. What are you or anyone else going to do about just that?“ 49 The turning point in the authors teaching career was_. （ A） his encounter with a self-assured businessman （ B） his visit to a high school on the Eastern seaboard （ C） his appointment as a headmaster （ D） his teaching of geograp

38、hy 50 When the writer visited a high school on the Eastern seaboard he was impressed most by _. （ A） the confidence of the students in managing their own future （ B） the enthusiasm of the headmaster in experimenting with new methods （ C） the students critical attitude toward traditional education （

39、D） the quality of teaching and the intelligence of the students 51 The head of the high school thinks functional literacy is the ability to_. （ A） read, write and make calculations （ B） do every assignment on ones own （ C） communicate and collaborate with others （ D） feel confident in the face of ch

40、allenges 52 The businessman prefer to see in his employees_. （ A） the willingness to work alone on academic research （ B） 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 world 53 We can infer from th

41、e passage that the businessman_. （ A） is critical of the way students are taught in schools （ B） attaches great importance to work experience （ C） thinks highly of the teaching profession （ D） is not satisfied with the performance of his employees 53 Poverty exists because our society is an unequal

42、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 only if others are relatively poor, and

43、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 ensures that“ dirty“ work gets done. If

44、 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 government bureaucrats. Poverty makes life eas

45、ier 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, or the advice of incompetent physician

46、s 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 lack. Poverty also provides a group that

47、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 intentional, conscious “secret plan“ of

48、 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. 54 Poverty exists in American society because_. （ A） the wealthy find it hard to change it （ B） the great majority

49、 of the non-poor are totally not concerned about it （ C） the rich think they are powerless to do anything about it （ D） the poor lack such desirable qualities as honesty 55 The poor take on“ dirty work“ because they do it _. （ A） under political pressures （ B） for the high pay offered （ C） as they are reasonably paid （ D） for low salary to raise themselves and their families 56 Poverty makes life easier for _.
