Recently,online high schools in America have sparked a debate about whether or not taxpayers’ money should be used to support online education.Online schools received the same amount of funding as all other public schools,even though they don’t have to pay for rent or school equipment.
About 90,000 students in America receive their education only from online schools.While this method of schooling helps students who live in remote regions,most school systems are upset that they are losing more students each year because of these online programs.
Although online learning allows children to work at their own pace,these online schools have only one teacher per several hundred students.Often teachers can’t give struggling students the help they need as they are unable to talk face-to-face with them.
Additionally,students in online programs may suffer in social situations because they won’t learn valuable communication skills from their schooling.Similar to students who are home schooled,those who take only online classes won’t learn social etiquette(礼节),and will be treated differently by their peers.
Online schooling might be useful for places where there are not enough students for a real school,such as agricultural regions,but states should only spend taxpayers’ money on online schools in extreme cases. 1.What is the passage mainly about?
A.Whether students should study at online schools. B.Whether online schools should be allowed to exist. C.Whether taxpayers’ money should support online schools. D.Whether traditional schools should be replaced.

We can achieve knowledge either actively or passively(被动地).We achieve it actively by direct experience,by testing and proving an idea,or by reasoning.
We achieve knowledge passively by being told by someone else.Most of the learning that takes place in the classroom and the kind that happens when we watch TV or read newspapers or magazines is passive.Conditioned as we are to passive learning, it’s
not surprising that we depend on it in our everyday communication with friends and co-workers.
Unfortunately,passive learning has a serious problem.It makes us tend to accept what we are told even when it is little more than hearsay and rumour(谣言).
Did you ever play the game Rumour? It begins when one person writes down a message but doesn’t show it to anyone.Then the person whispers it,word for word,to another person.That person,in turn,whispers it to still another,and so on,through all the people playing the game.The last person writes down the message word for word as he or she hears it.Then the two written statements are compared.Typically,the original message has changed.
That’s what happens in daily life.The simple fact that people repeat a story in their own words changes the story.Then,too,most people listen imperfectly.And many enjoy adding their own creative touch to a story,trying to improve on it,stamping(打上标记)it with their own personal style.Yet those who hear it think they know.
This process is also found among scholars(学者)and authors: A statement of opinion by one writer may be re-stated as a fact by another,who may in turn be quoted (引用)by yet another;and this process may continue,unless it occurs to someone to question the facts on which the original writer based his opinion or to challenge the interpretation(诠释)he placed upon those facts.
5.According to the passage,passive learning may occur in . A.visiting an exhibition B.solving a maths problem C.doing a medical experiment D.doing scientific reasoning 提

“Weachieveknowledgepassivelybybeingtoldbysomeoneelse...intheclassroomandthekindthathappenswhenwewatchTVorreadnewspaperormagazinesispassive.”可知被动学习是指由别人告知所获得的知识。故选A项。B、C、D三项都是主动学习。 答案:A
6.The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refers to . A.active learning B.passive learning C.communication D.knowledge
提示:词义猜测题。句意为“……依靠被动学习并不奇怪”。根据it所在句可知这个代词指代的是前句所提到的被动学习。 答案:B
7.The author mentions the game Rumour to show that . A.a message should be delivered in different ways B.a message may be changed when being passed on C.people may have problems with their sense of hearing D.people tend not to believe in what they know as rumour
提示:推理判断题。通过第四段最后一句可知,原始的信息含义改变了,例证了第三段提出的论点“被动学习使我们接受被告知的事物,甚至有时是谣言”。因此B项为正确选项。 答案:B
8.What can we infer from the passage? A.Active learning is less important.
B.Passive learning is not found among scholars. C.Active learning occurs more frequently. D.Passive learning may not be reliable.
提示:推理判断题。此题可用排除法。A、C两项文中未提及,而由最后一段第一句可知B项不正确。由文章第三段加后几段的例证可推知D项正确。 答案:D Ⅴ.短文改错
I’m good at all the subjects,and always ready help others.At school I get along well with my classmates.Therefore,I have a problem that troubles myself all the time.It’s the relationship among my desk-mate and me.He is a hard-working student,who keeps school rule well.But he’s a quiet and shy person.What’s more,he got angry easily.I don’t know what to deal with him.Maybe it’s why we’ve seldom sat down to exchange our feelings or thoughts.I value our friendship.I hope we can know more about with each other and understand each other better.I do hope we will be close to each other than before. 答案:第一句:ready后加to
第三句:Therefore→However;myself→me 第四句:among→between 第五句:rule→rules 第七句:got→gets 第八句:what→how 第九句:why→because 第十一句:去掉with 第十二句:close→closer
