In a society such as the United States or Canada, which has many national, religious and cultural differences, people highly value individualism--the differences among people. Teachers place a lot of importance on the qualities that make each student special. The educational systems in these countries show these values. Students do not memorize all possible basic knowledge. Instead, they work individually and find answers by themselves.There is often discussion in the classroom. At an early age, students learn to form their own ideas and opinions.
In most Asia societies, by contrast, the people have the same language, history and culture. Perhaps for this reason, the educational system in much of the orient reflects society’s belief in group goals and purposes rather than individualism. Children in China, Japan and Korea often work together and help one another on assignments.
There are advantages and disadvantages of both systems of education. For example, one advantage of the system in Japan is that students there learn much more about math, physics, biology and chemistry than American students by the end of high school. They also study more hours each day and more days each year than North Americans do. The system is difficult, but it prepares students for a society that values discipline and self-control. There is, however, a disadvantage. Memorization is an important learning method in Japanese schools, yet many students say that after an exam, they forget much of the information that they have memorized.
The advantage of the educational system in North America, on the other hand, is that students learn to think for themselves. The system prepares them for a society that values creative ideas. There is, however, a disadvantage. When students graduate from school, they haven’t memorized as many basic rules and facts as students in other countries have.

【解析】
試題分析:本文討論的是東西方教育系統(tǒng)的不同之處。在西方人們強(qiáng)調(diào)高度尊重個(gè)人和人與人之間的差異。教師極其重視每個(gè)學(xué)生的不同特性,而在東方,由于相同的語(yǔ)言、歷史和文化,其教育系統(tǒng)強(qiáng)調(diào)集體主義和團(tuán)結(jié)協(xié)合精神,上課時(shí)教師講,學(xué)生聽,討論并不多。文章最后談到了兩種教育系的優(yōu)缺點(diǎn)。。
1.主旨題:閱讀全文可知本文討論的是東西方教育系統(tǒng)的不同之處。故選B。
2.推理題:根據(jù)最后一段中“The system prepares them for a society that values creative ideas. ”這個(gè)體系為培養(yǎng)他們的社會(huì)價(jià)值觀的創(chuàng)造性做了準(zhǔn)備,可知西方教學(xué)體系更注重培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的創(chuàng)造力,因此A正確;根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中“For example, one advantage of the system in Japan is that students there learn much more about math, physics, biology and chemistry than American students by the end of high school”可知日本學(xué)生在高中后一時(shí)期比美國(guó)學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)更多的自然科學(xué)。因此B正確;同A項(xiàng)一樣,加拿大屬于西方教學(xué)體制,西方教學(xué)體系更注重培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的創(chuàng)造力,因此比韓國(guó)學(xué)生的創(chuàng)造力更強(qiáng)一些,故C正確;D項(xiàng)中友不友好在文中并未體現(xiàn),因此D錯(cuò)誤。故選D。
3.推理題:閱讀前兩段可知,在西方教育體制下的孩子更傾向于自己獨(dú)立思考,遵循自己的意見,而東方教育體質(zhì)之下上課時(shí)教師講,學(xué)生聽,討論并不多,孩子們更傾向于團(tuán)隊(duì)合作。故選A。
4.主旨題:閱讀全文可知本文討論的是東西方教育系統(tǒng)的不同之處。故選C。

Language is always changing. In a society where life continues year after year with few changes, the language does not change, either. The earliest known languages had difficult grammar but a small, limited vocabulary. Over the century, the grammar changed, and the vocabulary grew. For example, the English and Spanish people who came to America during the sixteenth century gave names to all new plants and animals they found. In this way, hundreds of new words were introduced into English and Spanish vocabularies. Today life is changing very fast, and language is changing fast too.
There are several major language families in the world. Some scientists say there are nine main families, but other scientists divide them differently. The languages in each family are connected, and scientists think that they came from the same parent language About 3 percent of the people in the world speak languages that are not in these major families.

A.a(chǎn) lot of problems | B.words and easy grammar |
C.words but no grammar | D.grammar but not many words |

C.change only a little | D.a(chǎn)dd more words and drop some grammar |

The young boy saw me, or rather, he saw the car and quickly ran up to me, eager to sell his bunches of bananas and bags of peanuts. Though he appeared to be about twelve, he seemed to have already known the bitterness of life. “Bananas 300 naira. Peanuts 200 naira.” He said in a low voice. I bargained him down to 200 totals for the fruit and nuts. When he agreed, I handed him a 500 naira bill. He didn’t have change, so I told him not to worry. He said thanks and smiled a row of perfect teeth.
When, two weeks later, I saw the boy again, I was more aware of my position in a society where it’s not that uncommon to see a little boy who should be in school standing on the corner selling fruit in the burning sun. My parents had raised me to be aware of the advantage we had been afforded and the responsibility it brought to us.
I pulled over and rolled down my window. He had a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts ready. I waved them away. “What’s up?” I asked him.
“I…I don’t have money to buy books for school.” I reached into my pocket and handed him two fresh 500 naira bills. “Will this help?” I asked. He looked around nervously before taking the money. One thousand naira was a lot of money to someone whose family probably made about 5,000 naira or less each year. “Thank you, sir.” he said. “Thank you very much!”
When driving home, I wondered if my little friend actually used the money for schoolbooks. What if he’s a cheat? And then I wondered why I did it. Did I do it to make myself feel better? Was I using him? Later, I realized that I didn’t know his name or the least bit about him, nor did I think to ask.
Over the next six months, I was busy working in a news agency in northern Nigeria. Sometime after I returned, I went out for a drive. When I was about to pull over, the boy suddenly appeared by my window with a big smile ready on his face.
“Oh, gosh! Long time.”
“Are you in school now?” I asked.
He nodded.
“That’s good,” I said. A silence fell as we looked at each other, and then I realized what he wanted. “Here,” I held out a 500 naira bill. “Take this.” He shook his head and stepped back as if hurt. “What’s wrong?” I asked. “It’s a gift.”
He shook his head again and brought his hand from behind his back. His face shone with sweat. He dropped a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts in the front seat before he said, “I’ve been waiting to give these to you.”
【小題1】What was the author’s first impression of the boy?
A.He seemed to be poor and greedy. |
B.He seemed to have suffered a lot. |
C.He seemed younger than his age. |
D.He seemed good at bargaining. |
A.told him his purpose of selling fruit and nuts |
B.wanted to express his thanks |
C.a(chǎn)sked him for money for his schoolbooks |
D.tried to take advantage of him |
A.Because he had enough money to do that. |
B.Because he had learnt to help others since childhood. |
C.Because he held a higher position in the society. |
D.Because he had been asked by the news agency to do so. |
A.Brave and polite. | B.Kind and smart. |
C.Honest and thankful. | D.Shy and nervous. |
