1．C 从第二段第6空后可知，此处应填 science。science course，“科学课”。
2．D 教授走进演讲大厅。search for 寻找；look at 看；get through
完成；打通电话；march into 走进。根据句意，D项正确。
3．B 教授让学生们猜罐子里有多少豆子。count 数；guess 猜；report 报告；watch 看，观看。因为豆子装在罐子里，同学们只有猜一下有多少。另外第4空后出现了 guesses 一词。
4．D 根据上下文意思可知，学生们喊出答案，教授听到他们错误的猜测，笑了。
5．C 因学生们的答案错误，所以教授给出正确答案，correct 与 wrong 相对。
6．A 你们学到了关于科学的重要一课。learn...about，“学会关于……的知识”。prepare 准备；teach 教；take 拿走。
7．B 根据上文可知，同学们凭感觉给出了错误的答案，所以教授说：永远不要相信自己的感觉。lose 失去；trust 相信；sharpen 变锋利；show 显示。
8．D 此处指上文提到的 a woman，也就是指上面回忆自己经历的人，因此选D。

15．A 她相信她的第一手经验就是对的。believe 相信；doubt 怀疑；prove 证明；explain 解释。
16．D growth 成长；strength 力气；faith 信仰；truth 真实。根据第15题的解释可知D项正确。

18．B 从上文可知这个小女孩凭经验、凭感觉来了解世界，而教授认为不对，因此教授把她了解世界的工具拿走了。
19．C 根据下文可知，这个女孩再也没有听教授上课，因为教授的做法和观点使她害怕了。cruel 残酷的；proud 自豪的；frightened 害怕的；brave 勇敢的。
20．A 因为害怕，所以下午就没来上课。drop 在此表示“辍学”。
.阅读理解
(2010·湖北高考)This brief book is aimed at high school students, but speaks to anyone learning at any stage of life.
Its formal, serious style closely matches its content, a schoolmasterly book on schooling.The author, W．H.Armstrong, starts with the basics: reading and writing.In his opinion，reading doesn't just mean recognizing each word on the page; it means taking in the information, digesting it and incorporating it into oneself just as one digests a sandwich and makes it a part of himself.The goal is to bring the information back to life, not just to treat it as dead facts on paper from dead trees.Reading and writing cannot be completely separated from each other; in fact, the aim of reading is to express the information you have got from the text.I've seen it again and again：someone who can't express an idea after reading a text is just as ineffective as someone who hasn't read it at all.
Only a third of the book remains after that discussion, which Armstrong devotes to specific tips for studying languages，math, science and history.He generally handles these topics thoroughly(透彻地)and equally，except for some weakness in the science and math sections and a bit too much passion(激情) regarding history.Well, he was a history teacher—if conveyed only a tenth of his passion to his students, that was a hundred times more than my history teachers ever got across.To my disappointment, in this part of the book he ignores the arts.As a matter of fact, they demand all the concentration and study that math and science do, though the study differs slightly in kind.Although it's commonly believed that the arts can only be naturally acquired，actually, learning the arts is no more natural than learning French or mathematics.
My other comment is that the text aged.The first edition apparently dates to the 1960s—none of the references(参考文献) seem newer than the late 1950s.As a result，the discussion misses the entire computer age.
These are small points, though，and don't affect the main discussion.I recommend it to any student and any teacher，including the selftaught student.
1．According to Armstrong, the goal of reading is to________.
A．gain knowledge and expand one's view
B．understand the meaning between the lines
C．express ideas based on what one has read
D．get information and keep it alive in memory
2．The author of the passage insists that learning the arts____.
A．requires great efforts
B．demands real passion
C．is less natural than learning maths
D．is as natural as learning a language
3．What is a shortcoming of Armstrong's work according to the author?
A．Some ideas are slightly contradictory.
B．There is too much discussion on studying science.
C．The style is too serious.
D．It lacks new information.
4．This passage can be classified as________.
A．an advertisement
B．a book review
C．a feature story
D．a news report
答案与解析
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一本图书的读者对象、写作风格，以及作者对该书某些内容的评价，最后作者将本书推荐给所有的老师和学生，包括自学的学生。
1．C 推理判断题。关于阅读，本文推荐的这本书的作者Armstrong说，阅读不仅仅是要求认识每页的每个单词，而且要吸收阅读材料的信息并咀嚼消化，“阅读的目的就是将你所学到的信息表达出来”，这与C项陈述吻合：“根据所阅读的材料来表达自己的思想”。A项意为“获得知识，开阔视野”；B项意为“体会字里行间的含义”；D意为“获得信息并储存在记忆中”，这些都不是Armstrong认为的阅读的目的。
2．A 事实细节题。由第三段可知：作者推荐的这本书忽视了艺术。尽管学习的方式各不相同，但艺术的学习需要和学习数学及自然科学一样的专注和努力。由此判断A项正确。注意此段中的study在此表示“努力，用功”。作者介绍该书的时候说，书的作者对历史太富有激情(B项不正确)，第三段说学习艺术与学习法语或数学一样需要后天的努力(C、D两项错)。
3．D 事实细节题。本文提到该书的一些缺点，比如关于自然科学和数学部分的内容比较薄弱，第四段说，另外一个问题是书上援引的参考文献太陈旧，最新的也不超过20世纪50年代，因此本书的讨论部分完全没有涉及电脑时代。由此判断选D，作者觉得该书的一个缺点是没有新信息。A项意为“有些观点自相矛盾”；B项意为“关于研究自然科学方面的讨论太多”；C项意为“书的风格过于严肃”，在本文都没有提到。
4．B 推理判断题。从文章的叙述看，本文不是一篇广告、专访故事或资讯报道，而是一篇书评，从各方面比较中肯地评价一本书，指出其优点与不足，并向各位读者推荐该书。
