11、he shop classes.”“I realized how much fun woodworking was and took all the wood-shop classes I could and started spending time in the shop after school,” he says. “I got a summer job working with my uncle and used most of the money I made to buy woodworking tools and quickly turned my dads little sh

I also love my laptop computer, as it holds all of

17、 my writing and thought. Despite this love of technology, I know that there are times when I need to move away from these devices (设备) and truly communicate with others.On occasion, I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers. My goals for the class include a ful

18、l discussion of historical themes and ideas. Because I want students to thoroughly study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom. I have a rule no laptops, iPads, phones, etc. When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy.Most stu

19、dents assume that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology. Theres a bit of truth to that. Some students assume that I am anti-technology. Theres no truth in that at all. I love technology and try to keep up with it so I can relate to my s

20、tudents.The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversions and truly engage complex ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information fo

21、r ideas. I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas. I want them to push each other to think differently and to make connections between the course the material and the class discussion.Ive been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the educations refl

22、ect student satisfaction with the environment that I create. Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge, they learn at a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom.Im not saying that I wont ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but unt

23、il I hear a really good reason for the change. Im sticking to my plan. A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up.38.

26、 DWhen things go wrong and were to blame, were supposed to feel guilty. Right? Not necessarily. It turns out that when we do something that causes a negative outcome, we actually feel less responsible for our actions. And, we see the entire situation differently than we would have if things had turn

27、ed out well.The “blame game” is nothing new. Behavior experts have long known that people push responsibility to others, or to outside factors, when things dont work out. But new research from the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience at University College London shows that this response is more than

28、about wanting to escape blame we actually dont believe that what happened is our fault.To learn more about the blame game, researchers conducted a study. They asked 34 participants to press keys that randomly (随机地) produced three different noises. The noises were positive (amusement, laughter), nega

29、tive (fear, disgust, or anger), or neutral.The volunteers were asked to estimate (估计) the time that it took between when they pushed the button and when they heard the sound. Volunteers felt there was a longer lag (延迟) time between their actions and the negative sounds than between their actions and

30、 the positive ones. In their minds, the negative outcomes were separate from their actions. Therefore, they were able to feel less responsible for them.The researchers say that when it comes to assigning blame, we cant always trust our own judgment. “Just because you dont feel responsible, doesnt me

31、an youre actually not,” says study author Patrick Haggard.The findings suggest that perhaps more of us need to realize that unpleasant or negative situations may actually be our fault even if we dont see it that way. And taking more responsibility for our actions could lead to better relationships w

32、ith others.42. If things turn out well, people tend to _.A. owe the success to othersB. share the success with othersC. feel more related to their actionsD. enjoy much pleasure themselves43. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?A. Experts knew little about the “blame game”.B. Similar studies have b

They always doubte

34、d their own judgment.B. They believed someone else pressed the wrong keys.C. They were not brave enough to take the responsibility.D. They thought the bad results had little to do with them.46. What do the experts advise us to do to get along well with others?A. Be friendly to others.B. Take more re

35、sponsibility.C. Treat others equally.D. Show respect to others.EIn her new book, “The Smartest Kids in the World,” Amanda Ripley, an investigative journalist, tells the story of Tom, a high-school student from Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, who decides to spend his senior year in Wroclaw, Poland. Poland

36、is a surprising educational success story: in the past decade, the country raised students test scores from significantly below average to well above it. Polish kids have now outscored American kids in math and science, even though Poland spends, on average, less than half as much per student as the

37、 United States does. One of the most striking differences between the high school Tom attended in Gettysburg and the one he ends up at in Wroclaw is that the latter has no football team, or, for that matter, teams of any kind.That American high schools spend more time and money on sports than on mat

38、h is an old complaint. This is not a matter of how any given student who plays sports does in school, but of the culture and its priorities (优先考虑的事). This December, when the latest Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) results are announced, its safe to predict that American high-schoo

39、l students will once again display their limited skills in math and reading, outscored not just by students in Poland but also by students in places like South Korea, Belgium, the Netherlands, Finland, Singapore, and Japan. Meanwhile, they will have played some very exciting football games, which wi

40、ll have been breathlessly written up in their hometown papers. Why does this situation continue? Well, for one thing, kids like it. And for another, according to Ripley, parents seem to like the arrangement, too. She describes a tour she took of a school in Washington D.C., which costs thirty thousa

41、nd dollars a year. The tour leader a mother with three children in the school was asked about the schools flaws (瑕疵). When she said that the math program was weak, none of the parents taking the tour reacted. When she said that the football program was weak, the parents suddenly became concerned. “R

42、eally?” one of them asked worriedly, “What do you mean?”One of the ironies (讽刺) of the situation is that sports reveal what is possible. American kids performance on the field shows just how well they can do when expectations are high. Its too bad that their test scores show the same thing.47. Tom d

43、ecides to spend his senior year in Poland because _.A. he intends to improve his scoresB. Polish kids are better at learningC. sports are not supported at schools in Gettysburg D. there are striking differences between the two countries48. According to Paragraph 2, we know that _.A. PISA plays a ver

44、y important role in America B. little time is spent on sports in Japanese schoolsC. American high schools complain about sports timeD. too much importance is placed on sports in America49. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph means _.A. American students academic performance worries their p

45、arents a lotB. high expectations push up American students academic performanceC. low expectations result in American students poor PISA performanceD. lacking practice contributes to American students average performance50. The purpose of this text is to _.A. compare Polish schools with those in Ame

46、ricaB. call on American schools to learn from the Polish modelC. draw public attention to a weakness in American school traditionD. explain what is wrong with American schools and provide solutions第二节 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）M: Miss Gao, I am invited to a party a
