12、tions ( C) discriminations ( D) distinctions Part A Directions: Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. (40 points) 21 “All too often, in the history of the United States, the school teacher has been in no position to serve as a model to the inte
13、llectual life,“ Hofstadter wrote. “Too often he has not only no claims to an intellectual life of his own, but not even an adequate workmanlike competence in the skills he is supposed to impart.“ Harsh words, perhaps, but Hofstadters idea makes sense: If teachers on the front line of education dont
14、have an active intellectual life, theyre not likely to communicate a love of learning and critical thinking to their students. In his 1995 book, Out of Our Minds: Anti-Intellectualism and Talent Development in American Schools, Craig Howley cites several studies about the education and habits of pub
15、lic school teachers. According to one study, prospective teachers take fewer liberal arts courses than their counterparts in other arts and science majors and fewer upper-division courses in any subject except pedagogy. It appears, Howley writes, that prospective teachers do not often make a special
16、 effort during their college years to pursue advanced study in fields other than pedagogy. Frequent reading of literature in academic fields is the mark of the scholar, Howley says, so its logical to look at teachers reading habits. Readers tend to be more reflective and more critical than nonreader
17、s, argues Howley, who found that studies of teachers reading showed two patterns: One is that teachers dont read very much on average, just 3.2 books a year. (In fact, 11 percent of those surveyed said they had not read a single book during the current year.) The second pattern is that when teachers
18、 do read, they prefer popular books rather than scholarly or professional literature. Of those who were reading about education, most were reading books intended for the general public. Its true that U.S. teachers have traditionally been poorly paid and not well respected, which means that the best
19、and the brightest are often not attracted to teaching. But until teachers can be role models and exhibit their own love of learning and academics, the children wont get it. “Create a culture among the adults, a community of adults who are learners, who are excited a bout ideas in the other disciplin
20、es,“ says Deborah Meier, educator and author of The Power of Their Ideas. “The school must represent the culture it wants to encourage. If we want kids to feel that an intellectual life belongs to them, it must belong to the teacher, too.“ 21 According to Hofstadter, American teachers ( A) serve as
21、models to the intellectual life. ( B) are not active in their intellectual life. ( C) only work as adequate workman. ( D) play an very important role in the society. 22 In Craig Howleys opinion, prospective teachers should ( A) learn mom about pedagogy. ( B) be active on the front line of education.
22、 ( C) take more courses in liberal arts. ( D) learn from their counterparts majored in science. 23 The author quoted the studies of teachers reading to show that ( A) Howley conducted sophisticated researches. ( B) there are two patterns of teachers reading. ( C) teachers should read more books. ( D
23、) the reading patterns lead to the present situation of American teachers. 24 The word “it“ (Line 3, Paragraph 5) most probably refers to ( A) the state of being respected and well-paid. ( B) the wish to become the best and brightest students. ( C) a culture among the adults that embrace new ideas.
24、( D) the passion for learning and academics. 25 It can be inferred from the last two paragraphs that ( A) the brightest students will choose to work as teachers. ( B) teachers will read academic books in their spare time. ( C) teachers play key roles in building intellectual culture. ( D) the social
