Reading Comprehension (1) (30 points, 2 points each)Directions: This part is to test your reading ability. There are 3 tasks for you to fulfill
19、. You should read the materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.Task 1A historic change is taking place in higher education. Professors are being held responsible as never before for how well they serve students. It has become as common in colleges and universities for students to g
20、rade professors as for professors to grade students.In fact, student ratings have become the most widely used and, in many cases, the only source of information on teaching effectiveness. In comparing three studies of the same 600 four-year colleges, it was found that the number of colleges using st
21、udent ratings to evaluate teachers had climbed from 29 per cent to 68 per cent. No other method of evaluation approached that degree of usage, and other studies have found similar results.One reason that student evaluations of teachers have become so popular is that they are easy to administer and t
22、o score. But they also are easy to abuse. If they are to shed meaningful light on teachers performance, the rating must be used in a way that reflects at least some of what weve learnt about them from research and from experience.Research and experience have shown us, for example, that student ratin
23、gs should never be the only basis for evaluating teaching effectiveness. There is much more to teaching than what is evaluated on student rating forms. When ratings are used, we know that students should not be expected to judge whether the materials used in a course are up to date or how well the t
24、eacher knows the subject matter of the course. These judgments require professional background and are best left to the professors colleagues. On the other hand, students should be asked to estimate what they have learned in a course, and to report on such things as a professors ability to communica
25、te at the students level, professional behavior in the classroom, relationship with students, and ability to arouse interest in the subject.36. The central idea of the passage is that _.A. student ratings are the only source of information on teaching effectivenessB. ratings have become the most wid
26、ely used source of information on teaching effectivenessC. besides student ratings, there are other methods to evaluate teachersD. student ratings are very popular and should be properly used37. Which statement is true?A. Student evaluations of teachers are popular because they are very accurate.B.
27、In student ratings, students should not be asked questions that require professional background.C. Student ratings can be used under any circumstances.D. All colleges are inclined to use student ratings to evaluate teachers.38. In student ratings all the following questions can be asked except _.A.
28、Can the teacher make himself easily understood?B. How does the teacher deal with students?C. Is what is taught new?D. Are students interested in what is taught?39. The sentence in the third paragraph “But they also are easy to abuse“ means_.A. teachers are easy to be misunderstoodB. teachers are eas
29、y to be wrongedC. student ratings can easily be put to wrong useD. student ratings can easily be made use to attack teachers40. The word “approach“ in paragraph 2 means _.A. be more than B. come near C. equal D. better thanTask 2 Are some people born clever and others born stupid? Or is intelligence
30、 developed by our environment and our experiences? Strangely enough, the answer to both these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives i
31、n a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than a child who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of a persons intelligence are fixed at birth, but whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be suppo
32、rted in a number of ways.It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from the population, it is likely that th
33、eir degrees of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligen
34、ce depends on birth.Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We could soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment
35、 as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all, are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence.41. The writer is in favor of the view that mans intelligence is given to him_.A. at
36、 birth B. through educationC. both at birth and through education D. neither at birth nor though education42. If a child is born with low intelligence, he can_.A. never become a geniusB. still become a genius if he should be given special educationC. exceed his intelligence limits in rich surroundin
37、gsD. not reach his intelligence in his life43. In the second paragraph “if we take two unrelated people at random from the population “ means if we_.A. pick up any two personsB. choose two persons who are relativesC. take out two different personsD. choose two persons with different intelligence44.
38、The example of the twins going to a university and to a factory separately shows _.A. the importance of their intelligence B. the role of environment on intelligenceC. the importance of their positions D. the part that birth plays45. The best title of this passage can be_.A. Dependence on Environmen
39、t B. IntelligenceC. Surroundings D. Effect of EducationTask 3The motor vehicle has killed and disabled more people in its brief history than any bomb or weapon ever invented. Much of the blood on the street flows essentially from uncivil behavior of drivers who refuse to respect the legal and moral
40、rights of others. So the massacre on the road may be regarded as a social problem.In fact, the enemies of society on wheels are rather harmless people - just ordinary people acting carelessly, you might say. But it is a principle both of law and common morality that carelessness is no excuse when on
41、e s actions could bring death or damage to others. A minority of the killers go even beyond carelessness to total negligence.Researchers have estimated that as many as 80% of all automobile accidents can be attributed to the psychological condition of the driver. Emotional upsets can distort drivers
42、 reactions, slow their judgment, and blind them to dangers that might otherwise be evident. The experts warn that it is vital for every driver to make a conscious effort to keep ones emotions under control.Yet the irresponsibility that accounts for much of the problem is not confined to drivers. Str
43、eet walkers regularly violate traffic regulations, they at fault in most vehicle-walker accidents, and many cyclists even believe that they are not subject to the basic rules of the road.Significant legal advances have been made toward saver driving in the past few years. Safety standards for vehicl
44、e have been raised both at the point of manufacture and through periodic road-worthiness inspections. In addition, speed limits have been lowered. Due to these measures, the accident rate has decreased. But the accident experts still worry because there has been little or no improvement in the way d
45、rivers behave. The only real and lasting solution, say the experts, is to convince people that driving is a skilled task requiring constant care and concentration. Those who fail to do all these things present a threat to those with whom they share the road.46. The authors main purpose in writing th
46、is passage is _.A. to discuss traffic problems and propose possible solutionsB. to promote understanding between street walkers and motor driversC. to prove that motor invention is a very dangerous oneD. to warn the drivers of the importance of safe driving47. According to the passage, traffic accid
47、ents may be regarded as a social problem because _.A. civilization brings much harm to peopleB. people usually pay little attention to law and moralityC. automobiles have become most destructive to mankindD. the lack of virtue is becoming more severe48. The author mentions the psychological conditio
48、n of the drivers, in order to_.A. show some of the inaccurate estimations by researchersB. show how important it is for drivers to be emotionally healthyC. give an example to the various reasons for road accidentsD. illustrate the hidden tensions in the course of driving49. Who are NOT mentioned as being responsible for the road accidents?A. Mindless people walking on the road.B. Careless bicycle riders.C. Irresponsible drivers.D. Irresponsible manufacturers of automobiles.50. Which of the following best reflects the authors atti
