15、, B, C, and D. You should make the correct choice. 27 Teaching is supposed to be an activity requiring long and complicated training as well as official certification (资格证书 ). The students role is one of receiving information; the teachers role is one of sending it. There is a clear distinction assu
16、med between one who is supposed to know (and therefore not capable of being wrong) and another, usually younger person, who is supposed not to know. However, teaching need not be the province of a special group of people nor need it be looked upon as a technical skill. Teaching can be more like guid
17、ing and assisting than forcing information into a supposedly (想象上，按照推测 ) empty head. If you have a certain skill you should be able to share it with someone. You do not have to get certified to convey what you know to someone else or to help them in their attempt to teach themselves. All of us, from
18、 the very youngest children to the oldest members of our cultures should come to realize our own potential as teachers. We can share what we know, however little it might be, with someone who has the need of that knowledge or skill. 28 The act of teaching is regarded as _. （ A） a job carried out by

23、mpty container Task 2 Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. 33 There seems never to have been a civilization without toys, but when and how they developed is unknown. They probably came about just to give children something
24、to do. In the ancient world, as is today, most boys played with some kinds of toys and most girls with another. In societies where social roles are rigidly determined, boys pattern their play after the activities of their fathers and girls after the tasks of their mothers This is true because boys a
25、nd girls are being prepared, even in play, to step into the roles and responsibilities of the adult world. What is remarkable about the history of toys is not so much how they changed over the centuries but how much they have remained the same. The changes have been mostly in terms of craftsmanship,
26、 mechanics, and technology. In Egypt, the Americas, China, Japan and among the Arctic (北极的 ) peoples, generally the same kinds of toys appeared. Variations depended on lo- cal customs and ways of life because toys imitate(模仿 ) their surroundings. Because toys can be generally regarded as a kind of a
27、rt form, they have not been subject to technological leaps that characterize inventions for adult use. The progress from the wheel to the oxcart to the automobile is a direct line of ascent (进步 ). The progress from a rattle (拨浪鼓 ) used by a baby in 3,000 B.C. to one used by an infant today, however,
28、 is not characterized by inventiveness. Each rattle is the product of the artistic tastes of the times and subject to the limitations of available materials. 33 According to the passage, when were. toys developed? （ A） The 16th century. （ B） 3,000 B.C （ C） Not mentioned. （ D） In primitive society. 3
