But touching things can help you to see them better. Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round. But by holding
18、it in your hands, you can feel how smooth and cool the ball is. You can feel how heavy the glass is. When you feel all these about the ball, you really see it. With your skin, you can feel better. For example, your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pocket. You can feel a litt
19、le drop of water on the back of your hand, too. All children soon learn what “Don“t touch!“ means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. In shops, we touch things as we might buy: food, clothes. To see something well, we have to touch it. There are ways of learnin
20、g to see well by feeling. One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin. Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body, the air on your skin. At first, it is not easy to feel these things. You are too used to them! Most museums are just for looking. But
21、today some museums have some things to touch. Their signs say, “Do touch!“ There you can feel everything on show. If we want to see better, reach out and touch. Then you will really see!（分数：12.50）(1).By touching things, _.（分数：2.50）A.you will have a strange feelingB.you will learn how to reach out yo

25、ll. Every normal person is an expert in the skill of pronouncing his own language, but few people are even moderately proficient at pronouncing foreign languages. Now there are many reasons for this. Some are obvious, some perhaps not so obvious. But I suggest that the fundamental reason why people
26、in general do not speak foreign languages much better than they do in their own languages is that they fail to grasp the true nature of the problem of learning to pronounce them, and consequently never set about speaking them in the right way. Far too many people fail to realize that pronouncing a f
27、oreign language is a skill that needs careful training of a special kind, and one that cannot be acquired by just leaving it to take care of itself. I think even teachers of language, while recognizing the importance of a good accent, tend to neglect, in their practical teaching, the branch of study
28、 concerned with speaking the language. So the first point I want to make is that English pronunciation must be taught, the teacher should be prepared to devote some of the lessons to this, and his whole attitude to the subject should make the students feel that here is a matter worthy of receiving t
29、heir close attention.（分数：12.50）(1).Teaching pronunciation _.（分数：2.50）A.should always be taken into first considerationB.can never be treated as a main courseC.may not be so important as someone thinksD.is often neglected in teachers“ practice(2).The teacher“s attitude to the subject can _.（分数：2.50）A
30、.change the students“ devotion to the teacher himselfB.influence the students“ attention to itC.receive students“ attention to his pronunciationD.reduce students“ interest in language(3).According to the author, _ good proficiency at pronouncing foreign languages.（分数：2.50）A.many people fail to achie
31、veB.many students can attainC.most teachers ignoreD.most teachers have(4).That most students can“t pronounce a foreign language properly is because _.（分数：2.50）A.they like to learn grammar rather than pronunciationB.teachers think pronunciation is not importantC.teachers can not find effective ways t
32、o teach pronunciationD.they lack careful training in pronunciation(5).Which of the following statements is TRUE?（分数：2.50）A.A good accent can be acquired by nature.B.Language speaking is not so difficult as grammar.C.Pronouncing a foreign language is a skill.D.One can learn pronunciation without inst
33、ructions.五、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：12.50)I strongly believe that understanding is more important than love, especially when it comes to parenting and intimate relationships. As a psychologist for more than twenty years I can tell you that I have never had an adult looking back at her childhood and co
34、mplaining that her parents were too understanding. And similarly, I have met many divorced people who still love each other but yet they never really understood each other. The painful reality is love is just not enough. I“ll admit that there are people who I love and who I still need to better unde
35、rstand. I hope I“ll continue my work to understand them. The willingness to understand is very important. It is not always easy, but healthy love is strengthened by the willingness to understand. Love without understanding will wilt like flowers without water. Our egos are what seem to get in the wa
36、y of understanding those who we love and care about. Often it is our need to be right that makes what others think and feel so wrong for us. I have certainly been quite guilty of this in some of my relationships. As I have written repeatedly in my books, empathy, is truly the emotional glue that hol
37、ds all close relationships together. Empathy allows us to slow down and try to walk in the shoes of those we love. The deeper our empathy, the deeperand healthierour love. Not all relationships are meant to be. Yet all relationships that are meant to flourish in a healthy way, must stress understand
38、ing just as much, if not more, than love.（分数：12.50）(1).From the passage we know that _.（分数：2.50）A.the author complains about her parents“ being too understandingB.the author has been studying marriages for more than 20 yearsC.people divorced mainly because they didn“t love each otherD.some people di
39、vorced because they couldn“t understand each other(2).Why are we unable to understand the others sometimes?（分数：2.50）A.Because we are caring the others too much.B.Because it is quite difficult to understand the others.C.Because we believe we are always right.D.Because the others have done something w
40、rong.(3).Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?（分数：2.50）A.Understanding is more important to parenting relationship than to other intimate relationships.B.Understanding is less important than love as far as marriage is concerned.C.Understanding is more important than lov
41、e to some degree.D.Understanding is more often neglected in parenting relationship.(4).If we are to understand our partners, we should firstly _.（分数：2.50）A.have willingness to do soB.have love for themC.get into connection with themD.care about them(5).In this passage, the expression “ walk in the s
42、hoes of “ is similar in meaning to _.（分数：2.50）A.befriendB.understandC.loveD.care about六、Passage Four(总题数：1，分数：12.50)Normally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and each course which he attends gives him a credit which he may count towards a degree. In many Americ
43、an universities the total work for a degree consists of thirty six courses each lasting for one semester. A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks; while attending a university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester. Normally a student w
44、ould expect to take four years attending two semesters each year. It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period. It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not in fact done as a regular pract
45、ice. For every course that he follows a student is given a grade, which is recorded and available for the student to show to prospective employers. All this imposes a constant pressure and strain of work, but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs. Elect
46、ions to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm. The effective work of maintaining discipline is usually performed by students who advise the academic authorities. Any student who is thought to have broken the rules, for example, by cheating, has to appear before a student court. W
47、ith the enormous numbers of students, the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activity. A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career.（分数：12.50）(1).Normally a student would at least attend _ clas
48、ses each week.（分数：2.50）A.36B.12C.20D.16(2).According to the first paragraph an American student is allowed _.（分数：2.50）A.to live in a different universityB.to take a particular course in a different universityC.to live at home and drive to classesD.to get two degrees from two different universities(3
