Indian merchants traded salt and other valuable goods. Chinese merchants traded paper, which produced an immediate effect on the West. Apples traveled from central Asia to Rome. The Chinese had learned to graft(嫁接 ) different trees together to make new kinds of fruit. They passed this science on to others, including the Romans. The Romans used grafting to grow the apple.

This search for different levels of meaning doesn’t happen much in undergraduate(本科 ) science classes, but it is important later, in graduate school. And it is always important in humanities(人文科學(xué) ). Both the poetry instructors and their students learned something about teaching from this experience. One poetry instructor, for example, now sees the importance of using informative as he teaches. Most of the scientists agreed on several points. First, humanities classes might help science students to see patterns and decide which information is important. Second, the poetry class was fun. One engineer decided, “We need to change the way we teach engineering to make to make it an enjoyable experience for students.” But perhaps the most important result of the experience was this。滿分 55 分 ) (一 )單詞拼寫 (共 10 小題，每小題 1 分，滿分 10 分 ) 根據(jù)下列各句句意和空白之后的漢語(yǔ)提示詞，在答題卡上指定區(qū)域上寫出對(duì)應(yīng)單詞的正確形式，每空只寫一詞。 要求： 1. 短文填寫在答題卡的指定區(qū)域 2. 短文詞數(shù)不少于 80(不含已寫好的部分 ) 3. 內(nèi)容充實(shí)，結(jié)構(gòu)完整，語(yǔ)意連貫。 注意：原行沒有錯(cuò)誤的不要改。 Routes Full of Dangers D.
