In other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them. Our purpose is to fit them for life. In some modern countries it has for some time been fashionable

21、to think that by free education for all whether rich or poor, clever or stupid - one can solve all the problems 名师资料总结 - - -精品资料欢迎下载 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 名师精心整理 - - - - - - - 第 4 页，共 15 页 - - - - - - - - - of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free educati

22、on for all is not enough; we find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degree ；they refuse to do what they think low work; and, in fact, work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries. But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of

23、 a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor; we can live without education, but we die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we should get terrible diseases in our towns In fact, when we say that all of us must

24、 be educated to fit us for life, it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work suited to h is brains and ability and, secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that it is very bad to be ashamed of ones work. Only such a

25、 type of education can be considered valuable to society. 24. The writer of the passage thinks that _. A. education can settle most of the worlds problems B. free education for all probably leads to a perfect world C. free education wont help to solve problems D. all the social problems cant be solv

26、ed by education 25. The writer wants to prove that _.

The purpose of education is _. A. to choose officials for the country B

27、. to prepare children mainly for their future work C. to let everyone receive education fit for him D. to build a perfect world 27. The passage tells us about _ of the education.

28、 forgotten what you went for? Or struggled to remember the name of an old friend? For years we ve accepted 名师资料总结 - - -精品资料欢迎下载 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 名师精心整理 - - - - - - - 第 5 页，共 15 页 - - - - - - - - - that a forgetful brain is as much a part of ageing as wrinkles and grey hair. But no

29、w a new book suggests that weve got it all wrong. According to The Secret Life of the Grown-up Brain, by science writer Barbara Strauch, when it comes to the important things, our brains actually get better with age. In fact, she argues that some studies have found that our brain hits its peak betwe

30、en our 40s and 60s much later than previously thought. Furthermore, rather than losing many brain cells as we age, we retain them, and even produce new ones well into middle age. For years its been assumed that brain, much like the body, declines with age. But the longest, largest study into what ha

31、ppens to people as they age suggests otherwise. This continuing research has followed 6,000 people since 1956, testing them every seven years. It has found that on average, participants performed better on cognitive (认知的 ) tests in their 40s and 50s than they had done in their 20s. Specifically, old

32、er people did better on tests of vocabulary, verbal memory (how many words you can remember) and problem solving. Where they performed less well was number ability and perceptual speed how fast you can push a button when ordered. However, with more complex tasks such as problem-solving and language,

33、 we are at our best at middle age and beyond. In short, researchers are now coming up with scientific proof that we do get wiser with age. Neuroscientists are also finding that we are happier with ageing. A recent US study found older people were much better at controlling and balancing their emotio

34、ns. It is thought that when we re younger we need to focus more on the negative aspects of life in order to learn about the possible dangers in the world, but as we get older weve learned our lessons and are sub-consciously aware that we have less time left in life: therefore, it becomes more import

35、ant for us to be happy. 28. Barbara Strauch probably agrees that _. A. the young are better at handling important things B. ageing leads to the decline of the function of the brain C. peoples brains work best between their 40s and 60sD. wrinkles and grey hair are the only symbols of ageing 29.

37、w how to share feelings B. they cannot focus on negative aspects C. they learn to value the time left D. they do not realize the possible dangers 31. What is the main idea of the passage? A. People get more forgetful with age. B. People get wiser with age. C. People get happier with age. D. People g

38、et more self-aware with age. D The values of artistic works, according to cultural relativism(相对主义), are simply reflections of local social and economic conditions. Such a view, however, fails to explain the ability of some works of art to excite the human mind across cultures and through centuries.

39、 History has witnessed the endless productions of Shakespearean plays in every major language of the world. It is never rare to find that Mozart packs Japanese concert halls, as Japanese painter Hiroshige does Paris galleries, Unique works of this kind are different from today s popular art, even if

40、 they began as works of popular art. They have set themselves apart in their timeless appeal and will probably be enjoyed for centuries into the future. In a 1757 essa y, the philosopher David Hume argued that because “the general principles of taste are uniform(不变的) in human nature,” the value of s

41、ome works of art might be essentially permanent. He observed that Homer was still admired after two thousand years. Works of this type, he believed, spoke to deep and unvarying features of human nature and could continue to exist over centuries. Now researchers are applying scientific methods to the

42、 study of the universality of art. For example, evolutionary psychology is being used by literary scholars to explain the long-lasting themes and plot devices in fiction. The structures of musical pieces are now open to experimental analysis as never before. Research findings seem to indicate that t

43、he creation by a great artist is as permanent an achievement as the discovery by a great scientist. 32.According to the passage, what do we know about cultural relativism? A. It introduces different cultural values.B. It relates artistic values to local conditions. C. It explains the history of arti

44、stic works.D.
