1、大学英语六级改革适用(阅读)模拟试卷 94及答案与解析 Section C 0 It is possible for students to obtain advanced degrees in English while knowing little or nothing about traditional scholarly methods. The consequences of this neglect of traditional scholarship are particularly unfortunate for the study of women writers. If t

2、he canon the list of authors whose works are most widely taught is ever to include more women, scholars must be well trained in historical scholarship and textual editing. Scholars who do not know how to read early manuscripts, locate rare books, establish a sequence of editions, and so on are beref

3、t of crucial tools for revising the canon. To address such concerns, an experimental version of the traditional scholarly methods course was designed to raise students consciousness about the usefulness of traditional learning for any modern critic or theorist. To minimize the artificial aspects of

4、the conventional course, the usual procedure of assigning a large number of small problems drawn from the entire range of historical periods was abandoned, though this procedure has the obvious advantage of at least superficially familiarizing students with a wide range of reference sources. Instead

5、 students were engaged in a collective effort to do original work on a neglected eighteenth-century writer, Elizabeth Griffith, to give them an authentic experience of literary scholarship and to inspire them to take responsibility for the quality of their own work. Griffith s work presented a numbe

6、r of advantages for this particular pedagogical purpose. First, the body of extant scholarship on Griffith was so tiny that it could all be read in a day; thus students spent little time and effort mastering the literature and had a clear field for their own discoveries. Griffith s play The platonic

7、 Wife exists in three versions, enough to provide illustrations of editorial issues but not too many for beginning students to manage. In addition, because Griffith was successful in the eighteenth century, as her continued productivity and favourable reviews demonstrate her exclusion from the canon

8、 and virtual disappearance from literary history also helped raise issues concerning the current canon. The range of Griffith s work meant that each student could become the world s leading authority on a particular Griffith text. For example, a student studying Griffith s Wife in the Right obtained

9、 a first edition of the play and studied it for some weeks. This student was suitably shocked and outraged to find its title transformed into A wife in the Night in Watts Bibliotheca Britannica. Such experiences, inevitable and common in working on a writer to whom so little attention has been paid,

10、 serve to vaccinate the student I hope for a lifetime against credulous use of reference sources. 1 Which one of the following is not required for those scholars who are eager to revise the canon? ( A) Be familiar with early books. ( B) Search books that are not regular published. ( C) Read numerous

11、 historical books. ( D) Know how to do textual editing. 2 What is the purpose of opening a new course for students in paragraph 2? ( A) To satisfy the needs of scholars ( B) To make schools more diversified ( C) To enlarge more students having more choices ( D) To enable students to be aware of the

12、function of traditional learning 3 The word “exclusion“(Line 8, Para.3)is closest in meaning to_. ( A) illustration ( B) qualification ( C) assimilation ( D) elimination 4 Which of the following best describes the function of paragraph 3 in relation to the text as a whole? ( A) It summarizes the adv

13、antages that students can derive from the experimental scholarly methods course. ( B) It provides additional reasons why students should choose the course. ( C) It provides an illustration students can derive from the experimental scholarly methods course. ( D) It contrasts the experience of a stude

14、nt in the experimental scholarly methods course with that in the traditional course. 5 It can be inferred that the author of the text considers traditional scholarly methods courses to be_. ( A) too wide-ranging to approximate genuine scholarly activity ( B) too narrow for understanding the writers

15、perspective ( C) unconcerned about the accuracy of background ( D) irrelevant to the work of most students 5 Theyre still kids, and although theres a lot that the experts dont yet know about them, one thing they do agree on is that what kids use and expect from their world has changed rapidly. And i

16、ts all because of technology. To the psychologists, sociologists, and generational and media experts who study them, their digital gear sets this new group apart, even from their tech-savvy(懂技术的 ) Millennial elders. They want to be constantly connected and available in a way even their older sibling

17、s dont quite get. These differences may appear slightly, but they signal an all-encompassing sensibility that some say marks the dawning of a new generation. The contrast between Millennials and this younger group was so evident to psychologist Larry Rosen of California State University that he has

18、declared the birth of a new generation in a new book, Rewired: Understanding the inGeneration and the Way They Learn, out next month. Rosen says the tech-dominated life experience of those born since the early 1990s is so different from the Millennials he wrote about in his 2007 book, Me, MySpace an

19、d I: Parenting the Net Generation, that they warrant the distinction of a new generation, which he has dubbed the “iGeneration“. “The technology is the easiest way to see it, but its also a mind-set, and the mind-set goes with the little i, which I m talking to stand for individualized,“ Rosen says.

20、 “Everything is defined and individualized to me. My music choices are defined to me. What I watch on TV any instant is defined to me.“ He says the iGeneration includes todays teens and middle-schoolers, but its too soon to tell about elementary-school ages and younger. Rosen says the iGeneration be

21、lieves anything is possible. “If they can think of it, somebody probably has or will invent it,“ he says. “They expect innovation.“ They have high expectations that whatever they want or can use “will be able to be tailored to their own needs and wishes and desires.“ Rosen says portability is key. T

22、hey are inseparable from their wireless devices, which allow them to text as well as talk, so they can be constantly connected even in class, where cell phones are supposedly banned. Many researchers are trying to determine whether technology somehow causes the brains of young people to be wired dif

23、ferently. “They should be distracted and should perform more poorly than they do,“ Rosen says. “But findings show teens survive distractions much better than we would predict by their age and their brain development.“ Because these kids are more immersed and at younger ages, Rosen says, the educatio

24、nal system has to change significantly. “The growth curve on the use of technology with children is exponential(指数的 ), and we run the risk of being out of step with this generation as far as how they learn and how they think,“ Rosen says. “We have to give them options because they want their world i

25、ndividualized.“ 6 Compared with Millennial generation, what is the distinct feature of the new generation? ( A) They are familiar with more technology than their elders. ( B) They prefer to live a free and colourful life. ( C) They are equipped with more modern digital techniques. ( D) They are like

26、ly to communicate with others by high-tech methods continually. 7 Why is the new generation called as iGeneration? ( A) Because this generation emphasizes on an individualized style of life. ( B) Because this generation is characterized by the adoption of high-tech devices. ( C) Because this generat

27、ion are more interesting. ( D) Because this generation are in a connection with internet. 8 Which one of the following is TRUE about the iGeneration according to the passage? ( A) This generation is so innovative that they can invent and create new things ( B) Everything must be adapted to the pecul

28、iar need of the generation. ( C) High-tech such as wireless devices is a necessity to the new generation. ( D) This generation is allowed to use phones in class. 9 Rosen s findings suggest that technology_. ( A) has an obvious effect on the performance of iGeneration s brain development ( B) has ho

29、significantly negative effect on iGeneration s mental development ( C) has greatly affected the iGeneration s academic performance ( D) has caused distraction problems on iGeneration 10 Besides the individualized lifestyle, what changes will happen in educational system? ( A) It will updated by the

30、iGeneration. ( B) It will apply more technologies to cater for the iGeneration. ( C) It will adapt its system to the need of the new generation. ( D) There will be more online courses for iGeneration s need. 10 The first time your boss suggests that you formally present something to your department

31、or a client, your reaction may be panic. But remember that being asked to present is a compliment. Someone believes that you have valuable information to share with the group, and wants to listen to your ideas. You need to decide exactly what you will say during the allotted time. Condense your topi

32、c into one sentence. What do you want your audience to remember or learn from your talk? This is your “big idea“. Remember mat your are dealing with the short attention spans of individuals who tend to have many things on their minds. Think of three main points you want to make to support your overa

33、ll topic. Develop a story to demonstrate each of those concepts. This could be something that happened to you or someone you know, or something you read in a newspaper or magazine. We have all heard the saying “A picture is worth a thousand words.“ Think about how your presentation can be more inter

34、esting to watch. Props are a wonderful way to make your talk come alive. You could do something as simple as holding up a toy phone receiver when talking about customer service or putting on a hat to signal a different part of your talk. Think of dynamic and unusual way to start your presentation. T

35、his might involve telling anecdotes that relate to your topic. Never begin with, “Thank you for inviting me here to talk with you today.“ You will put your audience to sleep right away. Start off enthusiastically so they will listen with curiosity and interest. After your energetic introduction, ide

36、ntify yourself briefly and thank the audience for taking the time to listen to you. Plan your ending, and finish in a memorable way. Your listeners remember best what they hear at the beginning and end of a speech, so conclude with a game in which they can participate, or tell a humorous story and y

37、our audience will leave laughing. Dont try to memories your talk or read it word-for-word. It will sound stilted and boring. Instead, practice your dynamic introduction and conclusion until you can deliver them effortlessly. If you do this youll feel a burst of confidence that will help you sail thr

38、ough the whole of the speech. 11 The author of the text regards being asked to do a presentation as_. ( A) a praise ( B) an opportunity ( C) a punishment ( D) an experiment 12 According to the passage, why we d better to simplify our sentences during a presentation? ( A) Because longer sentences are

39、 complex to understand. ( B) Because audience are unlikely to concentrate for a long time. ( C) Because there is limited time for a presentation. ( D) Because we have to share valuable information with audience. 13 Why the author mentioned the example of a toy phone and a hat in paragraph 4? ( A) To

40、 promote these products. ( B) To arise your boss s interest. ( C) To provide an effective way to make a presentation vivid. ( D) To stir up audience s imagination. 14 What is the similar criterion for an opening and a conclusion of one good presentation? ( A) Both of them are dynamic and impressive.

41、 ( B) To arise audience interest. ( C) They have to be formal. ( D) To be funny and useful. 15 Which one of the following is the most appropriate title for this passage? ( A) More Dynamic, More Effective ( B) How to Prepare for a Presentation ( C) Presentation is a Step-stone to Your Career ( D) The

42、 Necessity of Being Humorous 15 Dropping out of university to launch a start-up is old hat. The twist with Joseph Cohen, Dan Getelman and Jim Grandpre is that their start-up aims to improve how universities work. In May 2011 the three founders quit the University of Pennsylvania to launch Coursekit,

43、 soon renamed as Lore, which has already raised $ 6m to develop what Mr. Cohen, its 21-year-old chief executive, describes as a social-learning network for the classroom. Lore is part of a trend that builds on the familiarity with social networking that has come with the success of Facebook. It cust

44、omizes the rules of a network to meet the specific needs of students. Anyone teaching a class would reasonably worry that students using Facebook were gossiping rather than learning useful information from their network of friends. Lore allows teachers to control exactly who is in the network by iss

45、uing a class-membership code and to see how they are using it. They can also distribute course materials, contact students, manage tests and grades, and decide what to make public and what to keep private. Students can also interact with each other. In the academic year after launching its first ver

46、sion last November, Lore was used in at least one class in 600 diversities and colleges. Its goal for its second year, about to begin, is to spread rapidly within those 600 institutions, not least to see what the effects of scale are from having lots of classes signed up within the same institution.

47、 The firm has a fast-growing army of fans in the faculty common room. Lore, says Edward Boches, who uses it for his advertising classes at Boston University, makes teaching “more interactive, extends it beyond the classroom and stimulates students to learn from each other rather than just the profes

48、sor.“ Among other challenges for the company, there remains the small matter of figuring out a business model. For the moment it has none. Mr. Cohen hopes that eventually Lore could become the primary marketplace for everything from courses to textbooks, but so far the service is free and carries no

49、 advertising. Blackboard, the industry incumbent(占有者 ), charges users for its course-management software. It remains to be seen how it will respond to the upstart. The lack of a plan does not appear to bother Lore s founders or investors, who seem content to learn a lesson from another university drop-out, Mark Zuckerberg, the co-founder of Facebook: achieve critical mass in your network and the profits will follow. And after that, perhaps they can expect an honorary degree. 16 What can we infer from paragraph 1 of the passag
