33、e piano 59 One hotnight July, when our new baby wouldnt or couldnt sleep, I tried everything I could think of: a warm bottle, songs, gentle rocking. Nothing would settle him. Guessing that I had a long night ahead of me, I brought a portable TV into his room, figuring that watching the late movie wa

34、s as good a way as any to kill off the hours until dawn. To my surprise, as soon as the TV lit up, the baby quieted right down, his little eyes focused brightly on the tube. Not to waste an opportunity for sleep. I then tip-toed out of the room, leaving him to watch the actors celebrate John Bellush

35、i s forty-fifth birthday. My wife and I heard no more of the baby that night, and the next morning when I went into his room, I found him still watching TV himself. I found in my babys behavior a metaphor (暗喻 ) for the new generation. My wife and I had hiven him some books to examine, but he merely

36、spit upon them. When we read to him, he did not feel comfortable. And so it is in the schools. We find that our students dont read, that they look down upon reading and scold those of us who teach it. All they want to do is watch TV. After this experience with the baby, however, I have reached a con

37、clusion: let them watch it. If television is that much more attractive to children than books, why should we fight it? Let them watch it all they want! 59 The author bought a TV set into his sons room to _. （ A） make his son stop crying （ B） spend the night watching TV （ C） leave it to his son （ D）

38、make his son fall asleep as soon as possible 60 The babys reaction to the TV was _. （ A） unexpected （ B） exciting （ C） awful （ D） calm 61 From the passage we know that the author is a(n) _. （ A） doctor （ B） editor （ C） writer （ D） teacher 62 According to the passage, which is true of the school chil

39、dren? （ A） They prefer reading to watching TV. （ B） They like watching TV only after school. （ C） They would rather watch TV than read books. （ D） They like their teachers who teach them reading. 63 So long as teachers fail to distinguish between teaching and learning, they will continue to undertak

40、e to do for children that which only children do for themselves. Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them. It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that “reading cannot be taught directly and schools should stop trying to do the impossib

41、le.“ Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They differ in kind and function. The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read. Teaching is also public

42、 activity; it can be seen and observed. Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world of printed language. Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process is not open to public scrutiny. If teacher and learner roles are no

43、t interchangeable, what then can be done through teaching that will aid the child in the quest (探索 ) for knowledge? Smith has one principal rule for all teaching instructions. “Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children. “ When

44、 the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teacher and learner fulfil them appropriately, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is eliminated. Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportu

45、nity to solve the problem of learning to read by reading. 63 The problem with the reading course as mentioned in the first paragraph is that _. （ A） it is one of the most difficult school courses （ B） students spend endless hours in reading （ C） reading tasks are assigned with little guidance （ D） t

46、oo much time is spent in teaching about reading 64 The teaching of reading will be successful if teachers can _. （ A） improve conditions at school for the students （ B） enable students to develop their own way of reading （ C） devise the most efficient system for reading （ D） make their teaching acti

47、vities observable 65 The word “scrutiny“(Line 3, Para.3) most Probably means“_“. （ A） inquiry （ B） observation （ C） control （ D） suspicion 66 According to the passage, learning to read will no longer be a difficult task when _. （ A） children become highly motivated （ B） teacher and learner roles are

48、 interchangeable （ C） teaching helps children in the search for knowledge （ D） reading enriches childrens experience 67 The human brain contains 10 thousand million cells and each of these may have a thousand connections. Such enormous numbers used to discourage us and cause us to dismiss the possib

49、ility of making a machine with human-like ability, but now that we have grown used to moving forward at such a pace we can be less sure. Quite soon, in only 10 or 20 years, perhaps, we will be able to assemble a machine as completes as the human brain, and if we can we will. It may then take us a long time to render it intelligent by loading in the right software (软件 ) or by
