23、upil as a sort of animate sausage casing. Into this empty casing, the teachers 26 stuff education. But genuine education, as Socrates knew more than two thousand years ago, is not 27 the stuffings of information into a person, but rather eliciting knowledge from him; it is the 28 of what is in the m

24、ind. The most important part of education, once wrote William Ernest Hocking, the 29 Harvard philosopher, is this instruction of a man in what he has inside of him. And, as Edith Hamilton has reminded us, Socrates never said, I know, learn from me. He said, rather, Look into your own selvers and fin

25、d the 30 of truth that God has put into every heart, and that only you can kindle (点燃) to a 31. In a dialogue, Socrates takes an ignorant slave boy, without a day of 32, and proves to the amazed observers that the boy really knows geometry-because the principles of geometry are already in his mind,

26、waiting to be called out. So many of the discussions and 33 about the content of education are useless and inconclusive because they 34 what should go into the student rather than with what should be taken out, and how this can best be done. The college student who once said to me, after a lecture,

27、I spend so much time studying that I dont have a chance to learn anything, was clearly expressing his 35 with the sausage-casing view of education.Part III Reading Comprehension (40 minutes)Section ADirections: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word

28、for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on ,Answer Street 2 with a single line through the ce

29、ntre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Questions 36 to 45 are based on the following passage. Innovation, the elixir (灵丹妙药 ) of progress, has always cost people their jobs. In the Industrial Revolution hand weavers were 36 aside by the mechanical loom. Over the past 30 yea

30、rs the digital revolution has 37 many of the mid-skill jobs that supported 20th-century middle-class life. Typists,ticket agents, bank tellers and many production-line jobs have been dispensed with, just as the weavers were. For those who believe that technological progress has made the world a bett

31、er place, such disruption is a natural part of rising 38. Although innovation kills some jobs, it creates new and better ones, as a more 39 society becomes richer and its wealthier inhabitants demand more goods and services. A hundred years ago one in three American workers was 40 on a farm. Today l

32、ess than 2% of them produce far more food. The millions freed from the land were not rendered 41, but found better- paid work as the economy grew more sophisticated. Today the pool of secretaries has 42, but there are ever more computer programmers and web designers. Optimism remains the right start

33、ing-point, but for workers the dislocating effects of technology may make themselves evident faster than its 43. Even if new jobs and wonderful products emerge, in the short term income gaps will widen, causing huge social dislocation and perhaps even changing politics.Technologys 44 will feel like

34、a tornado (旋风), hitting the rich world first, but 45 sweeping through poorer countries too. No government is prepared for it.注意:此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。A. benefits F) jobless K) rhythmB. displaced G) primarily L) sentimentsC. employed H) productive M) shrunkD. eventually I) prosperity N) sweptE) impact J) re

35、sponsive O) withdrawnSection BDirections: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once.

36、Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2. Why the Mona Lisa Stands OutA. Have you ever fallen for a novel and been amazed not to find it on lists of great books? Or walked around a sculpture renowned as a classic, struggling t

37、o see what the fuss is about? If so, youve probably pondered the question a psychologist, James Cutting, asked himself: How does a work of art come to be considered great?B. The intuitive answer is that some works of art are just great: of intrinsically superior quality. The paintings that win prime

38、 spots in galleries, get taught in classes and reproduced in books are the ones that have proved their artistic value over time. If you cant see theyre superior, thats your problem. Its an intimidatingly neat explanation. But some social scientists have been asking awkward questions of it, raising t

39、he possibility that artistic canons (名作目录) are little more than fossilised historical accidents.C. Cutting, a professor at Cornell University, wondered if a psychological mechanism known as the mere-exposure effect played a role in deciding which paintings rise to the top of the cultural league. Cut

40、ting designed an experiment to test his hunch (直觉). Over a lecture course he regularly showed undergraduates works of impressionism for two seconds at a time. Some of the paintings were canonical, included in art-history books. Others were lesser known but of comparable quality. These were exposed f

41、our times as often. Afterwards, the students preferred them to the canonical works, while a control group of students liked the canonical ones best. Cuttings students had grown to like those paintings more simply because they had seen them more.D. Cutting believes his experiment offers a clue as to

42、how canons are formed. He reproduced works of impressionism today tend to have been bought by five or six wealthy and influential collectors in the late 19th century. The preferences of these men bestowed (给予) prestige on certain works, which made the works more likely to be hung in galleries and pr

43、inted in collections. The fame passed down the years, gaining momentum from mere exposure as it did so. The more people were exposed to, the more they liked it, and the more they liked it, the more it appeared in books, on posters and in big exhibitions. Meanwhile, academics and critics created soph

44、isticated justifications for its preeminence (卓越). After all, its not just the masses who tend to rate what they see more often more highly. As contemporary artists like Warhol and Damien Hirst have grasped, critics praise is deeply entwined (交织) with publicity. Scholars, Cutting argues, are no diff

45、erent from the public in the effects of mere exposure.E. The process described by Cutting evokes a principle that the sociologist Duncan Watts calls cumulative advantage: once a thing becomes popular, it will tend to become more popular still. A few years ago,Watts, who is employed by Microsoft to s

46、tudy the dynamics of social networks, had a similar experience to Cuttings in another Paris museum. After queuing to see the Mona Lisa in its climate- controlled bulletproof box at the Louvre, he came away puzzled: why was it considered so superior to the three other Leonardos in the previous chamber, to which nobody seemed to b
