Knowing these helps you quickly locate and access your desired books. Call Numbers Books and material are arranged on our shelves according to the Library of Congress (LC)classification system.These call numbers uniquely identify and organize items near other material on the same or similar subjects. Consider the call number:LB2395 C651991. LB defines the subject area.The call letters are typically arranged in alphabetical()order,starting from A and continuing through the alphabet.Knowing the letter(s)for your subject area gives you a place to start browsing the shelves.For example:A-General Works;B-Philosophy,Psychology,Religion;D-World History; G-Geography;H-Social Sciences;J-Political Science;K-Law;L-Education;M-Music;N-Arts; P-Language and Literature;Q-Science...For more,click here. 2395 is the classification number,which further distinguishes the subject matter.Read as a whole number: 1,2,3,45,100,2430.… .C65 is the Cutter number and usually represents the author's last name.Find C,then 65.Read the number as a decimal(小数)， .1991 is the year of publication. Location Prefixes Some call numbers have a location prefix.Location prefixes mean that the book or material is shelved in a 第4页共12页 special place,and mny have loan restrictions.WSU uses the following prefixes: Prefix Collection Library Location Loan Period [Blank) Circulating Collection 2nd floor,3rd floor,and 4th floor 21-day loan Rof Reference Collection Ist floor,Reference Area Library-use only Rcs Reserve Collection 1st floor,Circulation Area Library-use only Video Audiovisuals 2nd floor,Learning Resources Center Special request 36.Which book may be identified under the call number"NU238 C719 2013"?

D.A Short History of France. 37.What would be the Cutter number if you are looking for a book by Whitney Sherman? A.C78. B.S53. C.N67. D.L59. 38.Where can you find the book"Res AG243 G87 1992"? A.On the 2nd or 4th floor of the library. B.In the Reference Area on the Ist floor. C.In the Circulation Ares on the 1st floor. D.At the Learning Resources Center on the 2nd floor. B He says the problem with teachers is,"What will a kid learn from someone who chose to become a teacher?" He reminds the other dinner guests that it's true what they say about teachers:Those who can,do;those who can't, teach. I decide to bite my tongue instead of biting his and stop myself from reminding the other dinner guests that it's also true what they say about lawyers-that they make money from the misfortune of others. 'I mean.you're a teacher.Taylor,"he says to me."Be honest.What do you make?" I wish he hadn't asked me to be honest,because now I have to teach him a lesson. You want to know what I make? I make kids work harder than they ever thought they could. I can make a C+feel like a great achievement and an A-feel like a failure. How dare you waste my time with anything less than your very best? I make parents tremble in fear when I call them: I hope I haven't called at a bad time. I just wanted to talk to you about something Billy said today. Billy said,"Leave the kid alone.I still cry sometimes,don't you?" And it was the bravest act I have ever seen. I make parents see their children for who they are and what they can be. 第5页共12页 You want to know what I make? I make kids wonder. I make them question. I make them criticize. I make them think. I make them apologize and mean it. I make them write,write,write. And then I make them read. I teach them to soive math problems that they once thought impossible. I make them understand that if you have brains then you follow your heart and if someone over tries to judge you by what you make,you teach them a lesson. Let me make this simple for you,so you know what I say is true; I make a great difference!What about you? 39.What do we know about the man that the author is speaking to? A.He is respectful to teachers. B.He is in the author's home. C.He measures value by income. D.He dislikes being a lawyer. 40.Why did the author call Billy's parents?

B.Hurt and discouraged. C.Humorous and ironic. D.Calm and instructive. 42.What is the passage mainly about? A.An argument between two guests B.What teachers make C.Qualities of an excellent educator D.A dinner conversation Q Understanding a proof in a math textbook is one thing;being able to reconstruct it without help is another thing.My classmates and I learned this the hard way at university.Most of our exams were oral exams,and nothing exposes a lack of deep knowledge faster than trying to explain a concept to someone. Unlike written exams,where visual leamers may be able to parrot back memorized notes that they barely understand,an oral test demands creative thinking in real time.When presented with a problem,students not only need to recall relevant definitions and theories,but they also need to apply them-sometimes in ways they never anticipated. 第6页共12页 Students often fall into a familiar trap.They read the textbooks,highlight key passages,and review lecture notes.These activities feel productive,but when exam day arrives,a student will often realize their passive familiarity with the material doesn't translate into the ability to apply it.Nor does it translate into a good grade. Passive leaming is misleading.It feels like we're making progress,but without actually applying what we leam,it slips away quickly. Consuming information is not the same as developing skills.The cognitive psychologist Daniel T.Willingham explains the distinction between passive and active leaming when he writes,"Memory is the result of thought."In other words,we forget most of what we encounter and remember only what we think about.Reading about calculations doesn't automatically create the neural pathways needed to solve calculating problems.Those pathways only form through deliberate practice:by solving problems,making mistakes,and experiencing the struggle. As a general rule,the harder your brain works during practice,the better it performs when it matters.To truly master something,you should embrace challenges and accept the slow,often frustrating,pace of true leaming.The oral math exam was valuable because it broke the illusion of passive leaming.Standing in front of the professor, faced with a problem,there's nowhere to hide.The pressure to produce mathematics revealed the true state of our understanding.To truly know what we don't know,we should simulate our own oral exams by picturing an imaginary professor asking questions and forcing ourselves to figure out answers on our own. 43.What does the underlined phrase"parrot back"mean in paragraph 2? A.Repeat mechanically. B.Appreciate deeply.C.Apply creatively. D.Forget quickly. 44.Why do students fall into the learning trap? A.Because of over-reliance on textbooks. B.Because of brilliant exam performance C.Because of a false sense of competence. D.Because of overemphasis on memory skills. 45.Which of the following statements might Daniel T.Willingham agree with? A.Repeated exposure strengthens memories. B.Active engagement builds solid memory. C.Memory improves with extensive reading. D.Learning occurs when teachers ask questions. 46.What would be the best title for the text? A.Passive Leaming:The Silent Killer of Exams B.Conscious Practice:The Best Way to Learn Math C.Oral Math Exams:The Frustrating University Tests D.Active Learing:The Key to Mastering Knowledge D You've stopped at a cafe on your way to work,and the next thing you know,your latte foam is staring at you. You've had the same furniture for years,but today your cupboard looks sad.You're lying in the park with your friends,and now Jesus is floating by in the clouds-are they seeing him too? Why do we see human faces everywhere? Until now,it has been unclear as to why the brain processes visual signals and represents them in our mind as human faces.However,researchers from the School of Psychology at the University of Sydney have tried evaluating this phenomenon. 第7页共12页 The facial recognition response happens fast,only taking a few hundred milliseconds.From an evolutionary perspectivo,the researchers suggest that the benefit of"never missing a fhee"outweighs the error where lifeless objects are seen as faces.Despite knowing that the object you are seeing is not a human face,the perception of a face stays.This is known as "face pareidolia". Pareidolia refers to the tendency to impose a meaningful interpretation on an unclear stimulus () making one see an objeet,pattem or meaning when there is none.Pareidolia was originally considered a symptom of montal disorder,but it is now viewed as a normal human tendency. Pareidolia has been investigated by scientists and has been present in art and literature for a long period of time.In Shakespeare's Hamlet,Hamlet demonstrates his supposed madness in his exchange with Polonius by telling him that he can see a camel in the sky. The researchers set out to investigate whether a detected pareidolia face would be cast off as a false detection or be analyzed for a facial expression.The study participants were presented series of faces and asked to rate each face expression on a seale from angry to happy.The series involved a mix of both real and pareidolia faces. The researchers have found that pareidolia faces are not ignored as false detections,but rather undergo an intemal "facial expression analysis",in the same way a real face would.This is likely because humans are deeply social beings.Additionally,in their analysis of how people judge pareidolia faces,the researchers often observed biased judgments. So,the next time you see an angry tree,don't be surprised and remember it's not personal. 47.The first paragraph is written in a way that A.presents an unusual scientific finding B.creates a vivid and relatable situation C.warns readers about potential illusions D.contrasts everyday life with rare events 48.Why might our brains have developed the tendency of "face pareidolia"? A.Beeause it helps us to be more creative in art and literature. B.Because it makes us better at processing information quickly. C.Because it's more important to notice all faces than to avoid mistakes. D.Because seeing faces in lifeless objects is harmless and often enjoyable. 49.What does the author mention Shakespeare's Hamlet? A.To contrast literary interpretation with psychological research. B.To show that seeing patters in random objects is a sign of madness. C.To prove that pareidolia is a moder concept discovered by scientists. D.To illustrate the phenomenon has long been recognized in human culture. 50.What did the study find about how people see pareidolia faces? A.They ignore them once they know they aren't real. B.They see them as more frightening than real faces. C.They can easily tell them apart from real human faces. D.They judge their expressions as if they were real faces. 第8页共12页
