You should read the m
16、aterials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.31 Most of us grow up taking certain things for granted. We tend to assume that experts and religious leaders tell us “the truth“. We tend to believe that thing advertised on television or in newspapers cant be bad for us.However, encourageme
17、nt of critical thinking in students is one of the goals of most colleges and universities. Few professors require students to share the professors own beliefs. In general, professors are more concerned that students learn to question and critically examine the arguments of others, including some of
18、their own beliefs or values. This does not mean that professors insist that you change your beliefs, either. It does mean, however, professors will usually ask you to support the views you express in class or in your writing.If your premises(前提)are shaky, or if your arguments are not logical, profes
19、sors personally point out the false reasoning in your arguments. Most professors want you to learn to recognize the premises of your arguments, to examine whether you really accept these premises, and to understand whether or not you draw logical conclusions. Put it this way: Professors dont tell yo
20、u what to think; they try to teach you how to think.On the other hand, if you intend to disagree with your professors in class, you should be prepared to offer a strong argument in support of your ideas. Argument just for the sake of arguing usually does not promote a critical examination of ideas.
21、Many professors interpret it as rudeness.31 In the first paragraph the writer tries to tell us that people_.（A）easily accept certain things without a second thought（B） grow up through learning certain things in life（C） are forming their views during their growth（D）have strong beliefs in authorities
22、while getting old32 Nowadays, most colleges and universities encourage students to_.（A）criticize others（B） share professors beliefs（C） give their own ideas（D）change their own beliefs33 The word “shaky“ (line 1, para. 3) most probably means“_“.（A）creative（B） firm（C） false（D）weak34 To help students de
23、velop their critical thinking, professors mainly teach them（A）choice of their premises（B） the way to think independently（C） skills of drawing conclusions（D）different kinds of argument35 According to the writer, the right way to argue is to_.（A）argue mainly for the sake of arguing（B） prove it with a
24、good conclusion（C） support your idea with sound reasoning（D）examine others ideas critically36 It would be difficult to have a society like ours without public goods such as defense, transportation, and other services.A public good is one that a person can use without reducing the use of it for anoth
25、er person. One of the best example of a public good is national defense. One person can benefit form our national defense without reducing another persons benefits. In fact, it is difficult to keep any person in our society from enjoying the benefits of national defense.The market system does not wo
26、rk well in producing public goods. This is because a person who refuses to pay for a public good cannot be kept from using it. Suppose that the neighbors in a high crime area decide to hire a police force. Each neighbor, except Mrs. Smith, agrees to pay $100 a year for it. Mrs. Smith refuses to pay
27、because she knows that if all the others pay the $100, the police will guard the area anyway. So Mrs. Smith can enjoy the services of the police force without paying $100.The market system has no way to deal with this type of problem. For this reason, we cannot ask each person to make a direct payme
28、nt in the form of product price. Therefore, we collect money for public goods by using taxes.36 According to the passage, public goods are_.（A）services enjoyed by all people（B） what we can buy and sell in public（C） products that we make for national defense（D）taxes paid by the people involved37 The
29、writer gives the example of national defense in paragraph 2 in order to show that_.（A）there will be no safety if there is no national defense（B） all the people should be responsible for national defense（C） a public good is a shared benefit for the whole society（D）some public goods are more important
30、 than others38 The person who does not pay for a public good_.（A）keeps himself from using its benefit（B） cannot enjoy its benefit at any time（C） fails to keep its benefit from being used（D）enjoys its benefit all the same39 In the third paragraph the author explains_.（A）what role the market system pl
31、ays in producing public goods（B） how weak the market system is in producing public goods（C） why some people refuse to pay for public goods（D）what we can do not make use of the market system40 From the passage we learn that the purpose of collecting taxes is to_.（A）ensure the continuous supply of pub
32、lic goods（B） reduce the difference between the rich and the poor（C） get extra money to support public goods（D）remind people of their duty41 Our environment is getting worse and worse with the increase of the world population, which affects the environment in two ways. Firstly, the limited energy res
33、ources will be used up much faster. Secondly, the increasing population creates more pollution, another severe problem that needs to be solved: Both problems are long-term ones because actions taken now show their results slowly over many years. They are also urgent because delays in action can lead
34、 to great suffering and social problems. The question seems to be difficult to handle for most people. However, a person can be a protector of environment in everyday life if he takes actions to save the environment right now. With the development of technology, cars make transportation easier and q
35、uicker than before, but we cant ignore the disadvantages brought to us by more and more cars in use. For example, we are consuming gasoline(汽油), which is a non-renewable (无法更新的)resource, and will soon be gone. Moreover, the exhausted gas from cars pollutes our air, and our health is therefore threat
36、ened by air pollution, which has a big potential effect on our daily life. So we can consider walking, taking buses, carpooling(合用汽车) instead of driving cars alone. This seems to be a very slow process that cant be so effective if its taken by a single person. But when more and more people become aw
37、are of the importance and positively take it as their personal responsibilities, the condition of the air will be improved to a great extent.41 According to the writer, the main problem to our environment today is_.（A）the increase of population（B） the limited energy resources（C） the more serious air
38、 pollution（D）the development of technology42 From the passage, we can know that_.（A）effective measures can be taken mainly by the government（B） taking measures now can soon improve the environment（C） immediate measures can cause great suffering and social problems（D）every single persons action has s
39、ome effect on environment protection43 The authors main purpose in writing this passage is most probably to_.（A）complain about peoples slow actions to protect the environment（B） advise people to take actions to protect the environment（C） show himself to be an active environment protector（D）point out
40、 the bad effects of technologies on protecting environment44 The author believes that carpooling_.（A）can give help to those without cars（B） can save people money and time（C） can save energy resources and reduce air pollution（D）can promote friendship among drivers45 The passage is mainly about_.（A）en
41、ergy resources saving（B） environment protection（C） population control（D）air pollutionSection B (5points, 1 points each)Directions: In this task, there is a passage with 5 questions (51 through 55).
