Reading comprehension (37 %)Section A (15%)Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.I have just finished my 23rd year of teaching at universities. And there have been several ____38____ in the way students approach their classes. The most noticeable is that when I started teaching, students took notes in notebooks, but now every desk has a laptop on it when I give a lecture. There seem to be a lot of obvious ____39____ of taking notes on a computer. For one, it is easy to save the notes in a place where you can ____40____ them later. For another, you will be able to read your notes later especially if your handwriting is poor.Before we go out and encourage every student to bring a laptop to class, ____41___, it is worth checking out a study by Pam Mueller and Danny Oppenheimer. They compared college students’ ___42____ in tests following exposure to material. The students were assigned either to take notes by hand or using a laptop.In the first study, students took notes while watching a lecture. Then, they engaged in other activities for about 30 minutes. Finally, they were given a quiz about the lecture. The quiz contained factual questions as well as conceptual questions that required some ___43____ of the subject matter.Students did about equally well on the factual question ____44____ how they took notes. However, the students did much ____45____ on the conceptual questions when they took notes by hand than when they took them using the laptop.The experiments ____46____ the content of people’s notes to the lecture and found that when people typed their notes on a laptop, they were much more likely to ___47___ what people said directly rather than writing their impressions of it. That is, people writing out their notes had to think more ___48___ about the content of what they heard than those people who were just typing.Then, in the second study, the experiments told people using the laptops to take good notes rather than just taking down what they heard. Even when people were given these ____49____, they still had a greater tendency to type what they heard than people who were taking notes by hand. As before, the people who used the laptops did more poorly on a test of ____50____ knowledge than those who took notes by hand. So there is real value in having to ____51____ the material in the process of taking notes. It is because handwriting is slow and ____52____ that people have to think more clearly about what they want to write down rather than copying down what is being said.38.

The Travel Pavilion(C)More than a decade ago, cognitive scientists John Bransfgord and Daniel Schwartz, both then at Vanderbilt University, found that what distinguished young adults from children was not the ability to retain facts or apply prior knowledge to a new situation but a quality they called "preparation for future learning." The researches asked fifth graders and college students to create a recovery plan to protect bald eagles from extinction. Shockingly, the two groups came up with plans of similar quality (though the college students had better spelling skills). From the standpoint of a traditional educator, this outcome indicated that schooling had failed to help students think about ecosystems and extinction, major scientific ideas.The researches decided to go deeper, however. They asked both groups to generate questions about important issues needed to create recovery plans. On this task, they found large differences. College students focused on critical issues of interdependence between eagles("How big are they？" and "What do they eat？"). The college students had cultivated the ability to ask questions, the cornerstone of critical thinking. They had learned how to learn.Museums and other institutions of informal learning may be better suited to teach this skill than elementary and secondly schools. At the Exploratorium in San Francisco, we recently studied how learning to ask good questions can affect the quality of people's scientific inquiry. We found that when we taught participants to ask "What if？" and "How can？" questions that nobody present would know the answer to and that would spark exploration, they engaged in better inquiry at the next exhibit-asking more questions, performing more experiments and making better interpretations of their results. Specially, their questions became more comprehensive at the new exhibit. Rather than merely asking about something they wanted to try, they tended to include both cause and effect in their question. Asking juicy questions appears to be a transferable skill for deepening collaborative inquiry into the science content found in exhibits.This type of learning is not confined to museums of institutional settings. Informal learning environments tolerate failure better than schools. Perhaps many teachers have too little time to allow students to form. and pursue their own questions and too much ground to cover in the curriculum. But people must acquire this skill somewhere. Our society depends on them being able to make critical decisions about their own medical treatment, say, or what we must do about global energy needs and demands. For that, we have a robust informal system that gives no grades, takes all comers, and is available even on holidays and weekends.60.What is traditional educators' interpretation of the search outcome mentioned in the first paragraph？A. Students are not able to apply prior knowledge to new problemsB. College students are no better than fifth graders in memorizing issues.C. Education has not paid enough attention to major environmental issues.D. Education has failed to lead students to think about major scientific ideas.61.In what way are college students different from children？A. They have learned to think criticallyB. They are concerned about social issuesC. They are curious about specific features.D. They have learned to work independently62.What is benefit of asking questions with no ready answers？A. It arouse students' interest in things around them.B. It cultivates students' ability to make scientific inquiries.C.It trains students' ability to design scientific experiments.D.It helps students realize not every question has an answer63.What does the author seem to encourage educators to do at the end of the passage？A. Train students to think about global issues.B. Design more interactive classroom activities.C. Make full use of informal learning resources.D. Include collaborative inquiry in the curriculum.II 卷I．Grammar（8%）Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct.
