　　IV. 综合(阅读)

　　I came away from my years of teaching on the college and university level with a conviction that enactment (扮演角色), performance, dramatization are the most successful forms of teaching. Students must be incorporated, made, so far as possible, an integral part of the learning process. The notion that learning should have in it an element of inspired play would seem to the greater part of the academic establishment merely silly, but that is nonetheless the case. Of Ezekiel Cheever, the most famous schoolmaster of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, his onetime student Cotton Mather wrote that he so planned his lessons that his pupils "came to work as though they came to play", and Alfred North Whitehead, almost three hundred years later, noted that a teacher should make his/her students "glad they were there".

　　Since, we are told, 80 to 90 percent of all instruction in the typical university is by the lecture method, we should give close attention to this form of education. There is, I think, much truth in Patricia Nelson Limerick's observation that "lecturing is an unnatural act, an act for which God did not design humans. It is perfectly all right, now and then, for a human to be possessed by the urge to speak, and to speak while others remain silent. But to do this regularly, one hour and 15 minutes at a time... for one person to drag on while others sit in silence?... I do not believe that this is what the Creator ...designed humans to do".

　　The strange, almost incomprehensible fact is that many professors, just as they feel obliged to write dully, believe that they should lecture dully. To show enthusiasm is to risk appearing unscientific, unobjective; it is to appeal to the students' emotions rather than their intellect. Thus the ideal lecture is one filled with facts and read in an unchanged monotone.

　　The cult (推崇) of lecturing dully, like the cult of writing dully, goes back, of course, some years. Edward Shils, professor of sociology, recalls the professors he encountered at the University of Pennsylvania in his youth. They seemed "a priesthood, rather uneven in their merits but uniform in their bearing; they never referred to anything personal. Some read from old lecture notes and then haltingly explained the thumb-worn last lines. Others lectured from cards that had served for years, to judge by the worn edges... The teachers began on time, ended on time, and left the room without saying a word more to their students, very seldom being detained by questioners... The classes were not large, yet there was no discussion. No questions were raised in class, and there were no office hours".

　　1. The author believes that a successful teacher should be able to ______ .

　　A) make dramatization an important aspect of students' learning

　　B) make inspired play an integral part of the learning process

　　C) improve students' learning performance

　　D) make study just as easy as play

　　2. The majority of university professors prefer the traditional way of lecturing in the belief that ______ .

　　A) it draws the close attention of the students

　　B) it conforms in a way to the design of the Creator

　　C) it presents course content in a scientific and objective manner

　　D) it helps students to comprehend abstract theories more easily

　　3. What the author recommends in this passage is that ______ .

　　A) college education should be improved through radical measures

　　B) more freedom of choice should be given to students in their studies

　　C) traditional college lectures should be replaced by dramatized performances

　　D) interaction should be encouraged in the process of teaching

　　4. By saying "They seemed 'a priesthood, rather uneven in their merits but uniform in their bearing...'"(Para.4),the author means that ______ .

　　A) professors are a group of professionals that differ in their academic ability but behave in the same way

　　B) professors are like priests wearing the same kind of black gown but having different roles to play

　　C) there is no fundamental difference between professors and priests though they differ in their merits

　　D) professors at the University of Pennsylvania used to wear black suits which made them look like priests

　　5. Whose teaching method is particularly commended by the author?

　　A) Ezekiel Cheever's.

　　B) Cotton Mather's.

　　C) Alfred North Whitehead's.

　　D) Patricia Nelson Limerick's.

　　IV. 综合(阅读)

　　内容提要:本文就教学方法进行了讨论。作者在第一段就提出了最成功的教学形式是:enactment, performance, dramatization,在接下来的三段里对大学的教学方法进行了批评。

　　解析:

　　1. B)。该题实际上考的是第一段的主题(也是全文的主题),体现在文章的前三句话中,直接的叙述在第三句话里,即"... learning should have in it an element of inspired play。"当然,这一句在结构上较难,可以把它处理成这样的句子:To the greater part of the academic establishment, the notion that learning should have in it an element of inspired play would seem merely silly. 也就是说,to the greater part of the academic establishment 是状语,表示"对......来说,在......看来"。that 至seem 之间是notion 的同位语从句。

　　2. C)。本题的线索在第三段。这一段的前面说professors 觉得他们应当lecture dully(即题干中的the traditional way of lecturing),第二句是他们这样做的原因,他们认为to show enthusiasm (指非传统的教学方法)会冒unscientific, unobjective 的风险。

　　3. D)。 本题与第1 题有些相近,考的还是文章的主题。作者推崇的这种教学方式"enactment, performance, dramatization",简言之,即是互动的教学方式,也就是interaction。

　　4. A)。 "uneven in their merits"指的是他们的优点是不同的,暗指教授们的学问不同;"uniform in their bearing"的意思是他们的举止都一样,合在一起即是选项A)的意思。uneven为形容词,不平均的,不均匀的;merit 优点,价值;uniform一致的,一样的,是个形容词;bearing 举止。

　　5. A)。答案可在第一段中找到。
