What is a good education? The question is far from being answered. Once more, colleges and universities are changing their programs: they drop "fun courses" and restart some of the traditional subjects neglected (忽視) since the 1960s. Many great schools are again requiring the students to take a number of classes in English, history, literature, the social sciences, philosophy, the natural sciences, and art if they want to get a degree. Meanwhile, the experts are trying to describe the good education of our time. Obviously the purely vocational training once favored is not enough. But neither is the gentleman's education of the nineteenth century. Educational programs must meet the demands of a modern world where men and women have to work and to deal with big problems.
What, then, is a good education of this century? Some educators suggest that it should include foreign languages and the study of foreign cultures; a mastery of English, including the ability to write and speak well, because communications have become all-important in the modern world, and also because "a person who doesn't speak and write clearly doesn't reason clearly either"; some knowledge of the social sciences (sociology, psychology) that deal with human relations and human problems; some basic knowledge of modern science, which would enable future voters to be better informed about current problems like nuclear. Finally, many educators insist that all college graduates should be familiar with computers and modern information system since the educated professionals of tomorrow will have to understand their machines. Is that all? "No, of course not." answer the educators. "We have not mentioned the two great building blocks of education: history and literature!"

解析71．答案：C解析：本題考查主旨大意。縱觀全文，不難發(fā)現(xiàn)作者圍繞“What is a good education?”這一問題展開議論，而且在第一和第二自然段的首句明確交代這一主題。A項(xiàng)擴(kuò)大了話題范圍，文章不是泛泛談?wù)摗敖逃倍钦務(wù)摗昂媒逃�；B、D兩項(xiàng)概括片面。故正確答案C。
72．答案：A解析：本題考查詞義猜測(cè)。結(jié)合上下文分析，由上句的change和后面的restart(重新開始)，可以判斷出“drop”應(yīng)含有和“重新開始”相反的意思，desert“舍棄、遺棄”，dislike“不喜歡、厭惡”，decline“下降、減少”，neglect“忽視”，故正確答案A。
73．答案：D解析：該題屬推理判斷題。由文章第一段第二句“The question is far from being answered.”可知，“這個(gè)問題遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)沒有得到回答”，以及文章最后一句話可知這一問題沒有獲得滿意的答案，所以正確答案D。
74．答案：B解析：該題屬細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二段“Some educators suggest that …a mastery of English, including the ability to write and speak well, because communications have become all-important in the modern world…”可以很容易地判斷答案應(yīng)是B。
75．答案：D解析：該題為正誤判斷題。由第一段的尾句：Educational programs must meet the demands of a modern world where men and women have to work and to deal with big problems.可知A項(xiàng)正確；由第一段的Many great schools are again requiring the students… if they want to get a degree.可知B項(xiàng)正確；由第二段的Some educators suggest that it should include foreign languages and the study of foreign cultures可知C項(xiàng)正確；D項(xiàng)在文中沒有涉及，故答案D

D
What's your earliest childhood memory? Can you remember the first time you heard thunder or watched a television program? Adults seldom recall events much earlier than the year or so before entering school, just as children younger than three or four rarely retain any memory of specific, personal experiences.
A variety of explanations have been proposed by psychologists for this "childhood amnesia"( 記憶缺失,健忘).One argues that the hippocampus, the region of the brain which is responsible for forming memories, does not mature（成熟）until about the age of two. But the most popular theory maintains (主張）that, since adults do not think like children, they cannot access childhood memories. Adults think in words, and their life memories are like stories. But when they search through their mental files for early childhood memories to add to this verbal life story, they don't find any that fit the pattern. It's like trying to find a Chinese word in an English dictionary.
Now psychologist Annette Simms offers a new explanation for childhood amnesia. She argues that there simply aren't any early childhood memories to recall. According to Dr. Simms, children need to learn to use someone else's spoken description of their personal experiences in order to turn their own short-term, quickly forgotten impressions of these experiences into long-term memories. In other words, children have to talk about their experiences and hear others talk about them - Mother talking about the afternoon spent looking for crabs(蟹) at the beach or Dad asking them about their day at Ocean Park. Without this verbal reinforcement, says Dr. Simms, children cannot form permanent memories of their personal experiences.
69. According to the passage, it is widely believed that_________.
A. it is impossible for an adult to recall his(or her) childhood experiences
B. adults virtually have no access to their childhood memories
C. adults think in words while children think in images
D. adults and children have different brain structures
70. "Trying to find a Chinese word in an English dictionary" is stated in the passage to show that_______.
A. Chinese and English are totally different languages
B. it is unlikely to find a Chinese word in an English dictionary
C. adults and children have different memory patterns
D. memories are in some way connected with languages
71. According to Annette Simms,_______________.
A. verbal reinforcement is necessary for children to have permanent memories
B. there does not exist such things as childhood memories
C. children's brains are mature enough to form permanent memories
D. children are generally inexperienced and unable to remember things they don't understand

某網(wǎng)站上組織了一次討論，其中David, Joe, Sophie, Michael與Bauer的觀點(diǎn)頗具代表性。以下是他們各自的觀點(diǎn)。閱讀下面發(fā)表在該網(wǎng)站上的6段留言（A、B、C、D、E和F），選擇與其觀點(diǎn)一致的表述，并在答題紙上將該項(xiàng)標(biāo)號(hào)涂黑。選項(xiàng)中有一項(xiàng)是多途選項(xiàng)。
【小題1】David believes people shouldn't smoke in public places as it harms others.
【小題2】Joe insists that smokers should put the cigarette ends where they should go．
【小題3】Sophie holds that this question should call for a further argument．
【小題4】Michael thinks cigarette taxes should be raised for free healthcare for nonsmokers．
【小題5】Bauer thinks that victims of second - hand smoking should leave smoking areas to avoid harm．
A
The stupid thing is, I often see people smoking and then they throw the cigarette ends away from them when they have finished, not even stopping them but it just seems like once they have finished, they don't want it near them, perhaps they ought to have to carry their own ash trays in their pockets．
B
In many places, there are no non - smoking bars or restaurants．Unless people refuse to go out with friends who smoke, they cannot avoid passive smoking．Society accepts that adults can decide to harm themselves．so long as they do not harm others．This is why the suggestion is not arguing that people should be banned from smoking in private．Passive smokers do choose to breathe in other people's smoke．If they do not want to smoke passively, they do not need to go to places where smoking is allowed．There is therefore no reason to prevent smoking in public．
C
I'm only for smoking because not only do nice people and many friends and family of mine smoke, but this debate needs someone to take the side of the smoker．Otherwise we're just picking on a set of people．The only comment so far for smoking has been that clever one about how they pay for it．Smoking has its good points, whether it is giving job opportunities to millions of people, or getting extra breaks at work．Anyway, I do have a lot to say against smoking too, but again, debate．
D
What I care about is whether people can get free healthcare．Some people deliberately take dangerous toxins into their bodies because they're "addicted" while there are other people like my uncle who died of lung cancer and he never smoked in his life．It makes you wonder why cigarettes are so cheap．Surely all the taxes from cigarettes ought to go to help people who don't smoke．Perhaps we ought to sort things out．
E
Completely against it．I work in a bar and 1 get so sick of coming home smelling like a bonfire． And if that isn't enough, I'm probably going to get lung cancer from those idiots that decide to excite themselves．However,! do understand that for some older smokers it is a habit because they may have been smoking long before they knew it was bad for them．I do think there's no excuse for my generation to do it though and if they want to die, then go to do it in your own home．
F
Phil and I had a good argument today in the pub．He made the comment, "If he wants to smoke and kill himself, he can!", about which I said "You want to get on your motorbike and risk death, fine", which are basically the same thing．He made the point that he's a good driver and it's not his fault if he gets hurt, but at the end of the day, his fault or not, he knows he could get killed, and he's still taking the risk of being on a bike．I think it's a sick thing to say, being honest! If people want to put something in their mouth and blow on it, they should be allowed without having things like that being said ! It's a free country!
