I arrived in the classroom, ready to share my knowledge and experience with 75 students who would be my English Literature class. Having taught in the US for 17 years, I had no 1 about my ability to hold their attention and to 2 on them my admiration for the literature（文学）of my mother tongue.

I was shocked when the monitor shouted, "Stand up!" and the entire class rose as I entered the room, and I was somewhat 3 about how to get them to sit down again, but once that awkwardness（尴尬）was over, I quickly regained my calmness and began what I thought was a fact - packed lecture, sure to gain their respect - perhaps 4 their admiration. I went back to my office with the rosy glow which comes from a (n) sense of achievements.

My students kept diaries. However, as I read them, the rosy glow was gradually 5 by a strong sense of sadness. The first diary said, "Our literature teacher didn't teach us anything today. 6 her next lecture will be better." Greatly surprised, I read diary after diary, each expressing a similar subject. "Didn't I teach them anything? I described the entire philosophical framework（哲学体系）of Western thought and laid the historical 7 for all the works we'll study in class," I complained. "How can they say I didn't teach them anything?"

It was a long term, and it 8 became clear that my ideas about education were not the same as those of my students. I thought a teacher's job was to raise 9 questions and provide enough background so that students could draw their own conclusions. My students thought a teacher's job was to provide 10 information as directly and clearly as possible. What a difference!

However, I also learned a lot, and my experience with my Chinese students has made me a better American teacher, knowing how to teach in a different culture.

Some people hate everything that is modern. They cannot imagine how anyone can really like modern music; they find it hard to accept the new fashions in clothing; they think that all modern painting is ugly; and they seldom have a good word for the new buildings that are being built everywhere in the world. Such people look for perfection in everything, and they take their standards of perfection from the past. They are usually impatient with anyone who is brave enough to experiment with new or to express himself or the age in materials original ways. It is, of course, true that many artists do not succeed in their work and instead produce works that can only be considered as failures. If the work of art is a painting, the artist's failure concerns himself alone, but if it is a building, his failure concerns others too, because it may damage the beauty of the whole place. This does sometimes happen, but it is completely untrue to say, as some people do, that modern architecture is nothing.

We can't judge every modern building by the standards of the ancient time, even though we admire the ancient buildings. Technologically, the modern buildings are more advanced. The modern architect knows he should learn from the

ancient works, but with his greater resources of knowledge and materials, he will never be content to imitate the past. He is too proud to do that.

(1) Some people hate everything that is modern because _______.D. they look at things by the standards of the past

(2) The writer of the passage thinks that ________.C. it is true to say some artists fail in their work

(3) The writer thinks the failure of a building _______.B. concerns others

(4) The writer thinks that _________.C. we can''t judge all the modern buildings by the ancient standards

(5) Technologically, the modern buildings are more advanced. The sentence means _____.B. the modern architects use more advanced technology

The water we drink and use is running short in the world. We all have to learn how to stop wasting our limited water. One of the steps we should take is to find ways of reusing it. Experiments have already been done in this field.

Today in most large cities, fresh water is used only once, then it runs into waste system. But it is possible to pipe the used water to a purifying factory. There it can be filtered and treated with chemicals so that it can be used again, just as it were fresh from a spring.

But even if every large city purified and reused its water, we still would not have enough. Then we could turn to the oceans. All we'd have to do to make use of the seawater on earth is to get rid of the salt. This process is called desalinization, and it is already in use in many parts of the world.

(1) The way to stop wasting our limited water is to ________.B. purify the used water and reuse it

(2) The following tells us how to reuse the used water. Which is the right order of the passage? A. to have the used water filtered

(3) There wouldn't be enough water for us if we didn't _________.B. reuse used water and make use of seawater

(4) The word "it" in the last sentence refers to _______.C. the process of getting

rid of the salt in seawater

(5) The best title for the passage is "_______".B. Two Solutions to the Problem of Water Shortage

The energy which the sun radiates goes in every direction, and only a minute part of it falls on the earth. Even so, it represents power of about 5,000,000 horsepower (马力) per square mile per day; the sun gives us as much energy every miunte as mankind utilizes in a year. At present, we use this energy indirectly, and it is our final source of power. Coal represents the chemical action of the sun on green plants thousands of years ago. Water power results from the rain formed by vapor which comes from the evaporation of water under the sunshine. Even windmills operate because of air currents set in motion by the different heating affects of the sun in different places. Some day, through chemistry or some type of solar engine, we shall harness this great source of energy more directly. Already a scientist has worked out an engine, surprisingly efficient, in which the sun's rays are concentrated through mirrors on a tube of water to create steam.

(1) How much energy given off by the sun reaches the earth?D. only a very tiny amount.

(2) The reason why all the solar energy falling on the earth can't be utilized is that ______.D. our scientific knowledge is not sufficient

(3) Which of the following statements is NOT true?C. Some day man will be able to utilize 100% of the solar energy that gets to the earth.

(4) In order to support this argument, the writer gives the example that _______.

A. a machine using solar energy efficiently has already been developed

(5) This passage centers mainly on ________.D. the amount of solar energy that can be utilized

At the University of Kansas art museum, scientists tested the effect of different colored walls on two groups of visitors to an exhibit of paintings. For the first group the room was painted white; for the second, dark brown. Movement of each group was followed by an electrical equipment under the carpet. The

experiment showed that those who entered the dark brown walked more quickly, covered more area, and spent less time in the room than people in the white one. Dark brown made people more active, but the activity ended sooner. Not only the choice of colors but also the general appearance of a room affects those inside. Another experiment presented people with photographs of faces whose energy was to be commented. Three groups of people were used; each was shown the same photos, but each group was in an ordinary room-a nice office. The third was in a tastefully designed living room with carpeting. Results showed that the people in the beautiful room tend to give higher marks to the faces than those in the ugly room did. Other studies that students do better on tests taken in comfortable room than in ordinary-looking or ugly rooms.

(1) Which of the following is the best expression of the main idea of this passage?B. The color and general appearance of a room have a deeper effect on the behavior of the people in it.

(2) According to the passage, we may conclude that the whiter a room is ________.

A. the longer people like to stay in it

(3) What is referred to as the "general appearance" in this passage is ________.D. what the room looks like

Yellow fever is a disease in warm lands that is found mainly along the shores of the Atlantic Ocean. It was first noticed in America, but may have come from Africa and reached the New World soon after Columbus. Yellow fever was one of the most feared diseases in the United States, where many died in repeated outbreaks. An outbreak, which was to lead to surprising development, was one that happened in Cuba during the Spanish-American War.

An army group under Walter Reed was sent there in June 1900 with orders to give special attention to questions about the cause and prevention of yellow fever. In many experiments, he proved the truth of an idea advanced in 1881 by a Cuban doctor that the city type of mosquitoes passed on the disease. They are born in pools of quiet and warm water, within a short distance of people's homes.
