[对应知能达标训练P9]
Ⅰ.阅读理解
As a Fulbright (富布莱特法案基金) scholar at Yale,I wanted very much to get some individual help from some famous professors,but their office-hours were only once a week and there were always students waiting outside.At first,I was too polite to get their help.Then I realized that Chinese politeness does not work in this society.I needed to be aggressive to get what I wanted.I also noticed that Chinese students or Asian students were very polite in class while American students often interrupted the professor,asking questions and dominating the discussion.The Chinese students were not as aggressive as American students.
I was impressed by the role of the professor in the class.The professor didn't act as an authority,giving final conclusions,but as a researcher looking for answers to questions together with the students.One linguistic feature of his interacting with his students was that he used many modal verbs—far more than I did in Beiwai.When answering questions,he usually said:“This is my personal opinion and it could be wrong.It would be a good idea if you could read the book I mentioned the other day.”Or,“You may find the book I recommended helpful.”Or,“You could be right,but you might find this point of view also interesting.” When making comments on students' performances,the professor usually said,“It might have been much clearer if you had taken in some of the ideas we discussed earlier this semester.”
In China,authorities are always supposed to give wise decisions and correct directions.Therefore students always expect the professor to give an answer to the question.I still remember how annoyed they were when foreign teachers did not provide such an answer.Their expectations from authorities are much higher than those of American students.Once the Chinese students got the answer,they were sure about it.That is why they make far more certain statement than American students.That is why Chinese students find it difficult to use modal verbs because the function of modal verbs is to provide room for negotiation and different ideas.
[语篇解读] 本文是说明文。文章描述中西方不同的文化背景下,学生的学习方式和表达方式的不同。
1.The American professors use many modal verbs because they want to .
A.argue with their students
B.be more sure about their answers
C.express their ideas more clearly
D.develop their students' own way of thinking
解析 推理判断题。根据第二段的内容The professor didn't act as an authority,giving final conclusions,but as a researcher looking for answers to questions together with the students.教授并不作为权威,给出最后答案,而是作为研究者,和学生一起寻找问题的答案。下句说到他们和学生交流的语言特征是使用很多的情态动词,并举了很多例句,因此可推断美国教授这样做是为了发展学生自己的思维方式。故选D。
答案 D

A.Chinese professors can always give correct answer to the question.
B.American professors are not responsible since they don't give students answers.

解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段中作者的描述,中国学生总是期待教授给出问题的答案,他们对权威的期待比美国学生高的多,一旦中国学生得到答案,他们就很确定。可推断中国教育对发展学生的创造力是没有帮助的。故选D。
答案 D
3.Which of the following methods did the author mainly employ in developing the article?
A.Comparison and contrast. B.Cause and effect.
C.Giving examples. D.Description.
解析 推理判断题。通读全文可知,文章通过比较和对比来说明中西方学生的学习方式和教育方式的不同。故选A。

解析 推理判断题。作者只是通过比较和对比来描述中西方学生的学习方式和教育方式的不同,并没有对美国教育加以评论,故作者对美国教育的态度是中立的。故选C。
答案 C

Dear Committee members,
I wish to make a suggestion about starting a school art gallery.
The school art gallery can provide these students with a very good platform to display their own paintings,and through the art gallery,other students may not only get a chance to admire the artistic achievements and the development of school culture but also can widen their knowledge.If you were to offer such an opportunity to the students who are fond of art,I believe they would give you a big surprise.
I would be more than happy if my suggestion could be considered.
Yours faithfully,
Li Hua
第二节
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Though it is one of the faded memories of my life today,there are times when I remember his face clearly,especially his eyes.As he had yellow spots on his eyes we called him Spotty.He would have been a stray (流浪)dog,until he came to me.
I was seven years old.My dad had just got a new job in Nasik.We had moved into a rented house.It was raining very heavily on the day we moved.
It was a cold dark night.We had our meal and went to sleep.Somehow in the midnight I heard some strange sounds outside the main door.I gathered courage and looked out through the window and I was really amused with what I saw outside.
There was a small puppy lying on an old doormat which my mother had put outside the door.It was wet and trembling.At first it was difficult to see the little one.It was the yellow spots on its eyes that made me realize its presence.
It was trying to get under the doormat to avoid the cold air outside and it had managed to get in as I could see only its head outside the doormat.Was it sick or injured?
I felt pity for the poor soul.I went in and came out with an old towel.I went near the innocent one and held it in my hand and wiped the puppy till he had become dry.I took him into my room and made a bed for him with a woolen blanket and a small pillow.He seemed very healthy and comfortable in his new bed as he went to sleep immediately.
The next morning,everyone in the family came to know about the unusual guest.“Shall we keep him with us?” I questioned my mom.
Like any other parents would,my parents first to tally refused my idea but my sister and I convinced them to keep Spotty.
Slowly Spotty got on with everyone and became one of the family members.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Days passed on and one evening when Spotty returned from his long walk,he appeared very exhausted.
Almost a year later,one midnight we heard Spotty barking breathlessly.
[参考范文]
Days passed on and one evening when Spotty returned from his long walk,he appeared very exhausted.He came to my room and sat near me.It was then that I saw his hind leg was injured and was bleeding.I called out my mother and she quickly tied a bandage around his leg and gave him food to eat.But the next day,Spotty was up to his usual pranks though he limped a bit.After this incident my relation with Spotty became more intense.I really admired him a lot for his courage.
Almost a year later,one midnight we heard Spotty barking breathlessly.We came out and saw that he was barking continuously heading somewhere.I patted him on his back and came inside.The next morning,my heart skipped a beat when I didn't see Spotty.I searched for him in each and every corner but he was nowhere.We waited for one long week.But there were no signs of him.Then one day my Dad got transferred to Mumbai.We shifted back to Mumbai.What would have happened to Spotty?These were the only questions in my mind,but they all remained unanswered forever.
