[简答题]Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage:
Reading is not the only way to acquire knowledge of preceding work. There is another large reservoir which may be called experience, and the college student will find that every craftsman has something he can teach and will teach gladly to any college student who does not look down upon them.
The information from these quarters differs from that in textbooks and papers chiefly in that its theoretical part －the explanations of why things happen — is frequently quite fantastic. But the demonstration and report of what happens, and how it happens, are sound even if the reports are in completely unscientific terms. Presently the college student will learn, in this case also, what to accept and what to reject. One important thing for a college student to remember is that if Aristotle could talk to the fisherman, so can he.
Another source of knowledge is the vast store of traditional practices handed down
A. A．be ill-concealed toward the craftsman
B．be patient in helping the craftsman with scientific terms
C．learn the craftsman’s experience with a critical eye
D．obtain the craftsman’s experience without rejection
[简答题]Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:
In 1857, when Mark Twain, born Samuel Clemens, became an apprentice river pilot, steam boating had been a part of the Mississippi scene for a quarter of a century. The steamboat dominated life along the old river. How well Sam knew the magic cry. S-t-e-a-m-boat are-coming, which woke his sleepy little hometown of Hannibal Missouri. Ten minutes before a steamboat touched the dock, the town would be dead, and ten minutes after the boat had departed, the familiar boatman’s sounding call “mark twain", meaning that the river depth measured two fathoms, or twelve feet of water, could still be heard.
Twain’s first experience as a cub pilot was aboard the steamer Paul Jones, out of New Orleans, and his instructor was the strict Horace Bixby. Through his experience as a pilot, Sam Clemens soon learned that there was more to piloting on the Old Mississippi than having sharp eyes. The most important skill was the necessary

D．he loved the Mississippi very much

[单项选择]Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.
For some time past it has been widely accepted that babies-and other creatures-learn to do things because certain acts lead to “rewards”; and there is no reason to doubt that this is true. But it used also to be widely believed that effective rewards, at least in the early stages, had to be directly related to such basic physiological (生理的)“drives” as thirst or hunger. In other words, a baby would learn if he got food or drink or some sort of physical comfort, not otherwise.
It is now clear that this is not so. Babies will learn to behave in ways that produce results in the world with no reward except the successful outcome.
Papousek began his studies by using milk in the normal way to“reward” the babies and so taught them to carry out some simple movements, such as turning the head to one side or the other. Then he noticed that a baby who had had enough to drink would refuse the milk but wou
A. would make learned responses when it saw the milk

[单项选择]Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.
Each for its own reason, the study of residential mobility has been a concern of three disciplines: sociology, economics, and geography. For the economist, residential shifts provide a means for studying the housing and land markets. Geographers study mobility to understand the spatial distributions of population types. For the sociologist, interest in residential mobility has two sources: one stemming from the study of human ecology and the other, from a concern with the peculiar qualities of urban life. Of course, there are clearly overlapping concerns and it is often difficult to discern the disciplinary origins of a researcher by sole examining the kinds of questions he or she raises about mobility, although it is usually easier to identify a researcher’s discipline by noting the methods used and the concepts employed.
Urban mobility first appears in the sociological literature as a term expressin
A. not an ideal way to identify his or her disciplinary origin
B. easier than noting the methods used and the concepts employed
C. the only way to discern the disciplines he or she applied
D. too difficult to be used in finding out his or her disciplinary origins
[单项选择]Questions 52 to 56 are based on the following passage.
One of the world’s most profitable news organizations is Fox News, an American cable-news channel that is part of Rupert Murdoeh’s News Corporation. Fox was set up in 1996 by Roger Ailes, a former media adviser to three Republican presidents, specifically to appeal to conservative viewers. Fox is famous for being opinionated (固执己见的) rather than for being profitable.
In a world where millions of new sources are emerging on the Internet, consumers are overwhelmed with information and want to be told what it all means. Fox is not the only news organisation that is unafraid to say what it thinks and is prospering as a result. Perhaps significantly, MSNBC, which has lately been positioning itself to appeal to a left-wing crowd, is picking up viewers. "It’s not quite as political as what Fox does, "says Phil Griffin, the president of MSNBC," but we definitely have a progressive sensibility. a sensibility to
A. Fox News is well-known because it makes a big profit.

[填空题]Questions 47 to 51 are based on the following passage.
There were 1,300 schools who did not send a single student to Oxbridge(牛津剑桥) between 2006--2009. Let’s assume that there were at least some students in these schools who, with some more help, could convince admissions tutors to give them a place.
My proposal is to let the private sector find and coach these students, outside of normal school hours. In each geographical region, grant several private tutoring firms state contracts to scout and tutor for prestigious university entrance. They can sign up qualifying students and allocate them tutoring, outside of school hours, from this contract budget. A bonus will be awarded for each successful student.
The private tutoring firm will be free to sign up and release students promptly, they should be able to allocate their resources as they see fit, and not be compelled to retain students who, for example, they regard as not sufficiently committed. A
