We achieve it actively by direct experience, by testing and proving an idea, or by reasoning. We achieve knowledge passively by being told by someone else. Most of the learning that takes place in the classroom and the kind that happens when we watch TV or read newspapers or magazines is passive. We are used to passive learning, and it39。s not surprising that we depend on it in our everyday munication with friends and coworkers. Unfortunately, passive learning has a serious problem. It makes us tend to accept what we are told even when it is little more than hearsay and rumor. Did you ever play the game Rumor? It begins when one person writes down a message but doesn39。t show it to anyone. Then the person whispers it, word for word, to another person. That person, in turn, whispers it to still another, and so on, through all the people playing the game. The last person writes down the message word for word as he or she hears it. Then the two written statements are pared. Typically, the original message has changed. That39。s what happens in daily life. The simple fact that people repeat a story in their own words changes the story. Then, too, most people listen to improve on it, stamping(打上標(biāo)記) it with their own personal style. Yet those who hear it think they know. This process is also found among scholars and authors: A statement of opinion by one writer may be restated as fact by another, who may in turn be quoted by yet another。 and this process may continue, unless it occurs to someone to question the facts on which the original writer based his opinion or to challenge the interpretation he placed upon those facts.(1)According to the passage, what situation may passive learning occur in? A.Doing a medical experimentB.Solving a math problemC.Visiting an exhibitionD.Doing scientific reasoning(2)What does the underlined word it in Paragraph 2 refers to? A.Active learningB.KnowledgeC.CommunicationD.Passive learning(3)Why does the author mentions the game Rumor? A.To show that a message may be changed when being passed on.B.To show that a message should be delivered in different ways.C.To show that people may have problems with their sense of hearing.D.To show that people tend not to believe in what they know as rumor.(4)What can we infer from the passage? A.Active learning is less important.B.Passive learning may not be reliable.C.Active learning occurs more frequently.D.Passive learning is not found among scholars.【答案】 (1)C(2)D(3)A(4)B 【解析】【分析】短文大意:本文主要主要介紹了被動獲得知識所存在的一個嚴(yán)重的問題——被告知的可能是謠言。并用現(xiàn)實生活中簡單的事說明。 (1)推理判斷題。由文章第二段we achieve knowledge passively by being told by some of the learning that takes place in the classroom and the kind that happens when we watch TV of read newspaper or magazines is passive可知被動學(xué)習(xí)是通過別人告訴獲取知識,而A做實驗;B解決數(shù)學(xué)問題;D做科學(xué)推理都是主動學(xué)習(xí),故選C。 (2)推理判斷題。根據(jù)it 所在句We are used to passive learning, and it39。s not surprising that we depend on it in our everyday munication with friends and coworkers可知這我們依賴的是前句所提的被動學(xué)習(xí),故選D。 (3)推理判斷題。通過第三段最后一句Typically, the original message has ,信息原始的意思已經(jīng)改變了。和第二段最后一句話It makes us tend to accept what we are told even when it is little more than hearsay and ,有時候甚至是傳聞或者謠言??芍恼孪胍嬖V我們信息在傳遞的過程中發(fā)生了變化。故選A。 (4)推理判斷題。A、C兩個選項說的是主動學(xué)習(xí),文中沒有提到,D選項說被動學(xué)習(xí)在學(xué)者中不會出現(xiàn),這和最后一段第一句This process is also found among scholars and authors不符合,而根據(jù)第二段和第三段可知人們傳遞信息到最后時,信息的原始意思已經(jīng)改變了,故得出被動學(xué)習(xí)不可靠,故選B。 【點評】考查閱讀理解。本文涉及推理判斷題,需要聯(lián)系上下文,推斷出所需要的信息,也可以利用排除法,根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容,排除錯誤選項。8.閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的A、B、C和D四個選項中,選出最佳選項。 How39。s your happiness quotient (指數(shù))? Science tells us that if you want to increase your happiness quotient every day, it39。s important to take time and accept the present blessings (恩賜) in your life. I wanted to share a moment of feeling about some of my blessings and what39。s in my life to be grateful for as Thanksgiving approaches. One of our family traditions at our Thanksgiving meal is to go around the table and to let each one share something we39。re especially thankful for. I39。m going to recite lots of things, including that I39。m grateful for my health, my loving husband, and the wonderful relationship we share. My husband joins me for 3mile walk to star
