21、   We are not who we think we are.

The American self-image is spread with the golden glow of opportunity. We think of the United States as a land of unlimited possibility, not so much a classless society but as a place where class is mutable—a place where brains, energy and ambition are what count, not the circumstances of one’s birth.

The Economic Mobility Project, an ambitious research led by Pew Charitable Trusts, looked at the economic fortunes of a large group of families over time, comparing the income of parents in the late 1960s with the income of their children in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Here is the finding: The “rags to riches” story is much more common in Hollywood than on Main Street. Only 6 percent of children born to parents with family income at the very bottom move to the top.

That is right, just 6 percent of children born to parents who ranked in the bottom of the study sample, in terms of income, were able to bootstrap their way into the top. Meanwhile, an incredible 42 percent of children born into that lowest are still stuck at the bottom, having been unable to climb a single rung of the income ladder.

It is noted that even in Britain—a nation we think of as burdened with a hidebound (守旧的) class system—children who are born poor have a better chance of moving up. When the studies were released, most reporters focused on the finding that African-Americans born to middle-class or upper middle-class families are earning slightly less, in inflation-adjusted dollars, than did their parents.

One of the studies indicates, in fact, that most of the financial gains white families have made in the past three decades can be attributed to the entry of white women into the labor force. This is much less true for African-Americans.

The picture that emerges from all the correlations and percentages is of a nation in which, over all, “the current generation of adults is better off than the previous one”, as one of the studies notes.

The median income of the families in the sample group was $55,600 in the late 1960s; their children’s median family income was measured at $71,900. However, this rising ride has not lifted all boats equally. The rich have seen far greater income gains than the poor.

Even more troubling is that our nation of America as the land of opportunity gets little supper: from the data. Americans move fairly easily up and down the middle rungs of the ladder, but there is “stickiness at the end”—four out of ten children who are born poor will remain poor, and four out of ten who are born rich will stay rich.

【1】What did the Economic Mobility Project find in its research?

A．Children from low-income families are unable to bootstrap their way to the top.

B．Hollywood actors and actresses are upwardly mobile from rags to riches.

C．The rags to riches story is more fiction than reality.

D．The rags to riches story is only true for a small minority of whites.

【2】It can be inferred from the writer that America, as a classless society, should ________.

A．perfect its self-image as a land of opportunity

B．have a higher level of upward mobility than Britain

C．enable African-Americans to have exclusive access to well-paid employment

D．encourage the current generation to work as hard as the previous generation

A．The US is a land where brains, energy and ambition are what count.

B．Inequality persists between whites and blacks in financial gains.

C．Middle-class families earn slightly less with inflation considered.

D．Children in lowest-income families manage to climb a single rung of the ladder.

【4】What might be the best title for this passage?

A．Social Upward Mobility in America

B．Incredible Income Gains in America

D．America: Not Land of Opportunity for all

22、   Students should be able to show what they know. Many folks take this as a self-evident truth. But I think it demands closer examination.

Possessing a skill or piece of knowledge is not the same thing as being able to show it. This is why many smart young people hate school. Understanding, figuring out, and getting a handle on a piece of knowledge is really exciting, but having to prove to somebody else that you understand is a big fat pain in the neck.

Finding proof of student learning is a huge part of the teacher's job, and whether it is done poorly or not makes all the difference in that teacher's effectiveness. There is a huge difference between “How do I figure out if this student understands” and “How do I make this student prove to me he gets it.” The first is a valuable approach; the second is the first step on the road toward wasting everybody's time.

And there's the problem. If we start with the assumption（假定）that a student who knows must be able to show his knowledge to our satisfaction, we will be traveling down the wrong road. The more we demand that students prove to us that they know the stuff, the more we will design artificial tasks that demand a set of skills and knowledge entirely different from the skills and knowledge we really want to measure.

As a classroom teacher, I have to remember that the burden is on me to find a way to see what my students know; the burden is not on them to put on whatever trained monkey show I design for my own ease and convenience.

It may not be the worst thing ever to say “Students should be able to show what they know.” But I think it's far more useful to say, “Teachers should be able to discover what students know.”

【1】What does the underlined phrase in the second paragraph mean?

A.Very dangerous. B.Very annoying.

C.Very difficult. D.Very frequent.

【2】According to the third paragraph, a teacher should have the ability to   .

A.discover whether his students know

B.avoid wasting the precious time in class

C.apply various approaches while teaching

D.give students the chance to prove themselves

【3】What does the author think of the artificial tasks designed to test students' learning?

A.They should be limited in number.

B.They are a huge burden on teachers.

C.They should mainly focus on effectiveness.

D.They slide away from their original purpose.

【4】What is the main idea of the passage?

A.Students should be able to show what they know.

B.There are many ways to find proof of student learning.

C.Teachers should be able to discover what students know.

D.There should be better understanding between teachers and students.

23、A little kid is looking at a new picture book. Suddenly it points to a picture and shouts “chair”. The kid makes the right call, but that does not seem particularly interesting to us. We recognize all kinds of chairs as “chair” without any difficulty. For a kid, however, this is a huge learning process. It must associate the chair pictured in the book with the chairs it already knows — even though they may have different shapes or colors. How does the child do that?

The answer is categorization. Every time a child meets a chair, it stores the experience. Based on similarities between the chairs, the child’s brain will abstract the characteristics and functions of chairs by forming the category “chair”. This allows the child to later quickly link new chairs to the category and the knowledge it contains.

Our brain categorizes continuously. “Without categorization, we would not be able to interact with our environment as efficiently as we do,” Picter Goltstein, a senior professor says. In other words: We would have to learn for every new chair we meet that we can sit on it. “But the general processes of categorization in the brain are largely unknown,” he added.

Some scientists tested whether mice categorize in a way similar to us. To do so, they showed mice different pictures of different patterns and gave them a sorting rule. The mice were able to learn the rule and reliably sorted the given patterns into the correct category. They even put patterns they had not seen before into the correct categories. Therefore, the study demonstrates for the first time how well mice categorize and approach our ability for abstraction.

The researchers found that certain neurons (神经元) in a brain area became active when the mice sorted the patterns. Interestingly, different groups of neurons reacted selectively to individual categories. After observing the activity of such neurons from the beginning to the end of category learning, the researchers found that the neurons didn’t acquire their selectivity immediately, but only developed it little by little during the learning process.

【1】What does the first paragraph tell us?

A．Learning should happen with joy.

B．Chairs are easy to recognize for kids.

C．Kids can group things of similar nature.

D．Picture books are attractive to little kids.

【2】Why is Picter Goltstein mentioned?

A．To explain how to interact effectively.

B．To tell the way the brain work efficiently

C．To show how to recognize different things.

D．To stress the importance of categorization.

【3】How can we describe the mice’s performance?

A．Rather bad.

B．As expected.

C．Surprisingly good.

D．Better than human’s.

【4】What can we learn from the mice experiment?

A．The rules of selectivity are found.

B．People can say when to categorize.

C．Categorization develops over time.

D．All the neurons respond at the same time.

24、   Misty Copeland spends most days practicing and perfecting the graceful movements of her art. She takes classes almost every day and takes care of her body so she doesn’t injure it when she goes to work at Americam Ballet Theatre, one of the most famous ballet companies in the world.

“I treat my body with the respect that any musician would their instrument. I accept all that it is and do my best to make it the best it can be,” says Misty.

Misty didn’t always feel so confident in herself. The challenges she has faced over almost 20 years of dancing have made her strong. She was a shy child and avoided the spotlight. But she loved music and movement. When she was 13, she joined the drill team. One day, her coach suggested that she attend a free ballet class at the Boys & Girls club. For two weeks, Misty sat on the gym platforms watching the class, afraid to join in. Finally, she gave it a try.

At first, Misty felt out of place in the class. She didn’t know anything about ballet, and she was older than most of the students. Even though Misty felt discouraged, she didn’t quit. She talked with others who had struggled with similar problems. With the support of these friends, things slowly improved.

Over the next five years, ballet was Misty’s life. She practiced, performed, competed, attended summer ballet programs, and got loads of awards.

Today, Misty says, “I’ve learned to embrace my appearance, skin color, and figure.” She wants to help other dancers, especially ballerinas of color, accept themselves, too. She wrote a picture book, Firebird, in which her character encourages a young African American ballerina. In a note at the end of the book. Misty tells readers to follow their dreams: “No matter what that dream is,” she writes, “you have the power to make it come true with hard work and dedication.”

A.Determined and indifferent. B.Persistent and devoted.

C.Diligent and pessimistic. D.Talented and traditional.

【3】What does the story intend to tell us?

C.Diligence is the mother of success. D.A fall in a pit, a gain in your wit.

25、   If you are at all typical, listening takes up more of your waking hours than any other activity. A study of persons of varied occupational backgrounds showed that 70% of their waking moments were spent in communication. And of that time, writing took 9%, reading absorbed 16%, talking occupied 30%, and________accounted for 45%. Other surveys underscore the large amounts of time that people in different walks of life spend in listening. It is important to listen effectively because of the sheer amount of it that you do each day.

________, many of the most important aspects of your life are greatly influenced by your skills or________of skill in listening. The quality of your friendships, the ________of your family relationships, your effectiveness at work these depend, in large measure, on your ability to listen.

Unfortunately, few people are good listeners. Even at the purely informational level, researchers claim that 75% of oral communication is________, misunderstood, or quickly forgotten. Rarer still is the ability to listen for the deepest meaning in what people say. How________, but how common, to talk with someone about subjects of intense interest to oneself ________to experience the choking realization that the other person was not really listening and that his responses were simply________and mechanical.

A major reason for the poor listening in our society is that most of us receive a very rigorous early training in non-listening. The therapist Franklin Ernst says that "from the earliest years of life, a person's________ activity is the most heavily trained of all activities... The person's listening ... is more attended to than his bowel training, his bladder activity, or his genital activity." Ernst points out that the typical child, in his most impressionable years, receives a steady________of anti-listening regulations. ________say things like:

“Pretend you don't notice."

“Don't take it so seriously.”

“He didn't mean what he said.”

“We don't listen to those things in our family.

The typical parent not only________these anti-listening comments, he demonstrates them daily in his own life. By word and________we are taught to be non-listeners in our childhood.
