The class of eighth grade at a Los Angeles middle school tap their rulers and nod their heads to the rhythm of the rap video shown on a screen. Their algebra teacher, LaMar Queen, uses rhyme to help them memorize seemingly difficult items to improve their grades.
Queen, 26, is now known at Los Angeles Academy Middle School as the rap teacher, but his fame has spread beyond the 2，200student school in this neighborhood. He's won a national award and shown teachers and parents how to use rap to teach children.“Math is a bad word for many students, but if we put it in a form that kids enjoy, they'll learn，” Queen said. “Rap is what the kids respond to.They don't have a problem memorizing the songs at all.”
Queen's math rap came about by chance. Two months after starting at LA Academy, he was frustrated when kids said his class was boring. They thought that he looked like the singer Kanye West, so they challenged him to rap.
Queen has been rapping since the seventh grade. With his students' challenge on his mind, he pushed aside work on his lesson plans and wrote a rap song Slope Intercept.
Word of his rapping soon reached the school's main office. Principal Maria Borges went to look into it, and came out smiling.“It interests the kids，” she said.“Kids seem to know all the rap songs, and it's helpful for them to remember math rules.” “Some kids who aren't even in Mr Queen's class go around singing his songs，” said Kejon Closure, 13, who went from a Caverage to an A.
In the raps, Queen defines a math concept and works through sample problems step by step. He keeps a relaxed manner when singing with his students. Queen also tries to inspire them. His lyrics tell students “to get As on your papers”，and “to be respectful and listen to your parents”．Sometimes the students appear in the videos as a reward for good grades and behavior.
20．According to the passage, LaMar Queen has been ________ since he began to teach students at Los Angeles Academy.
A．a(chǎn) popular teacher B．a(chǎn) music teacher
C．a(chǎn) mathematics teacher D．a(chǎn) famous singer
21．LaMar Queen has won a national award because ________．
A．he is good at composing rap songs
B．his new musical production was shown on TV
C．he created a unique teaching method in math
D．he gave students a lot of confidence
22．We can infer from the last paragraph but one that ________．
A．Queen's teaching method has been well received by both the principal and the students
B．Queen makes math easy and tries to inspire his students in the rap
C．Queen is willing to help the students who are not good at math
D．Principal Maria Borges doesn't think it a good way to teach math by rapping
23．This passage may be taken from China Daily in the column of ________．
A．society B．education
C．entertainment D．biography
美國洛杉磯的一位數(shù)學老師把復雜難懂的數(shù)學概念變成了說唱樂，從而讓學生們?nèi)绨V如醉地在數(shù)學公式里遨游。
20．C 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二、三段可知LaMar Queen在從教之初并不受學生歡迎，他用說唱的方式授課后才出名的，可排除A項。根據(jù)文章第一段Their algebra teacher(他們的代數(shù)老師)以及后文多次提到的“math”可知答案為C項。
21．C 推理判斷題。根據(jù)全文尤其是第一、二段內(nèi)容可知LaMar Queen教數(shù)學的方式與眾不同，正因為他獨特的教學方法使他獲獎，故選C項。
22．A 推理判斷題。題干中the last paragraph but one是“倒數(shù)第二段”的意思，注意審題。從校長調(diào)查到學生說的話可知LaMar Queen的教學被校長和學生認可。故選A項。
23．B 推理判斷題。全文介紹LaMar Queen用說唱的方法教授數(shù)學，屬于教育類文章。故選B項。

It was the last day of the final examination in a large eastern university. On the steps of one building, a group of engineering students were talking about the exam that was going to begin in a few 36 . On their faces was confidence . This was their last exam — then on to 37 and jobs.
Some talked of jobs they already had; others talked of jobs they 38 get. With the certainty of four years of college, they felt ready and able to take 39 of the world.
The coming exam, they knew, would be a(n) 40 task. The professor had said they could bring 41 books or notes they wanted, requesting only that they did not 42 each other, during the test.
43 they entered the classroom. The professor passed out the papers. And smiles 44 on the students’ faces as they noted(注意到) there were only five essay-type questions.
Three hours had passed 45 the professor began to collect the papers. The students no longer looked confident. On their faces was a frightened expression. Papers in hand, no one spoke as the professor faced the class.
He looked at the 46 faces before him, and then asked, “How many completed all five questions?” 47 a hand was raised.
“How many answered four?” Still no hands.
“Three? Two?” The students moved restlessly （不安地,慌張地）in their seats.
“One, then? Certainly somebody finished 48 .”But the class remained silent.
The professor put down the papers. “That is exactly what I 49 ,” he said. “I just want to impress upon you that, 50 you have completed four years of engineering, there are still many things about the 51 you don’t know. These questions you couldn’t answer are relatively(相對地,相當?shù)? 52 in everyday practice. ” Then smiling, he added, “You will all 53 this course, but remember — even though you are now college graduates, your education has just 54 .”
The years have 55 the name of this professor, but not the lesson he taught.

科目：高中英語 來源：上海市2009-2010學年高二5月月考英語試題 題型：閱讀理解
Active participation in the classroom is not only accepted but also expected of the student in many courses. Some professors base part of the final grade on the student’ s oral participation. Although there are formal lectures during which the student has a passive role (I.e., listening and taking notes), many courses are organized around classroom discussions, students questions, and informal lectures.
A professor’s teaching style is another factor that determines the degree and type of student participation. Some professors prefer to control discussion while others prefer to guide the class without controlling it. Many professors encourage students to question and challenge their ideas. Students who make statements that contradict the professor’s point of view should be prepared to prove their positions.
Ideally, the teacher-student relationship at universities is characterized by trust. The “honor system” demands that the student be honest in all areas of school work. Thus, cheating on tests, presenting others’ ideas as original, and turning in homework done by someone else are all forbidden.
Violation of the honor system can result in a student’s failing a course, having a record of the violation placed in the student’s school files, or even being driven out from the university. Students who cheat may lose the respect of other students, particularly those who study for exams and work independently. When leaving the classroom while students are taking an exam, an instructor may or may not say, “I expect you all to obey the honor system.” Even if the words are not stated, the student is expected to work alone and not to share answers.
1. In many courses, teachers__________.
A. allow the students to participate
B. require the students to participate
C. both A and B
D. neither A nor B
2. If a student does not agree with the professor in a lecture, the student is encouraged to __________.
A. remain silent
B. challenge the professor
C. leave the class
D. tell the professor immediately that he is wrong
3. If a professor believes in the “honor system,” it implies his _________.
A. suspicion of the students
B. distrust of the students
C. trust in the students
D. pride in the students
4. Violations of the honor system do not include __________.
A. cheating
B. failing a course
C. sharing answers
D. handing in homework done by another student

科目：高中英語 來源：2011-2012學年江蘇省東臺市高三上學期第一階段考試英語試題 題型：閱讀理解
Introductory Chemistry was taught at Duke University for many years by professor Bonk. One year, two guys took the class and did pretty well on all the quizzes and mid-terms. They each had a solid A. These two friends were so confident in going into the final that the weekend before finals week, despite the Chemistry final being on Monday, they decided to go to the University of Virginia to party with some friends.
They had a great time there. However, with their hangovers（宿醉）and tiredness, they overslept all day Sunday and didn’t make it back to Duke until early Monday morning. Rather than taking the final then, they found professor Bonk after the final and explained to him how they missed the final. They told him they went up to the University of Virginia for the weekend and had planned to come back in time to study, but they had a flat tire on the way back and didn’t have a spare. So they were late getting back to campus.
Bonk thought this over and agreed that they could take the final the following day. The two guys, happy and relieved, studied that night and went in the next day at the time that Bonk had told them. He placed them in separate rooms and handed each of them a test booklet. He told them to begin.
They looked at the first problem which was something simple about solution（溶解）. It was worth 5 points. “Cool,” they thought, “this is going to be an easy final”. They then turned the page. They were unprepared, however, for what they saw on it. The question contained only two words: (95 points) Which tire?
