It is common to consider learning as something that takes place in school, but much of human learning occurs outside the classroom, even from birth and people continue to learn throughout their lives.

Even before they enter school, young children learn to walk, to talk, and to use their hands to use toys, food, and other objects. They use all of their senses to learn about the sights, sounds, tastes, and smells in their environments. They learn how to communicate with their parents, grandparents, siblings, friends, and other people important to their world. When they enter school, children learn basic academic subjects such as reading, writing, and mathematics. They also continue to learn a great deal outside the classroom. They learn which behaviors are likely to be rewarded and which are likely to be punished. They learn social skills for communicating with other children. After they finish school, people must learn to deal with the many major changes that affect their lives, such as getting married, raising children, and finding and keeping a job.

Because learning continues throughout our lives and affects almost everything we do, the study of learning is important in many different fields. Teachers need to understand the best ways to educate children. Psychologists, social workers, criminologists, and other human-service workers need to understand how certain experiences change people’s behaviors. Employers, politicians, and advertisers make use of the principles of learning to affect the behavior of workers, voters, and consumers.

Learning is closely related to memory, which is the storage of information in the brain. Psychologists who study memory are interested in how the brain stores knowledge, where this storage takes place, and how the brain later outputs knowledge when we need it. In contrast, psychologists who study learning are more interested in behavior and how behavior changes as a result of a person’s experiences.

【小題1】A

【小題2】D

【小題3】C

【小題4】A

【小題5】D


解析:

【小題1】判斷作者思想觀點(diǎn)題。文章第一段,“人們通常認(rèn)為學(xué)習(xí)是發(fā)生在學(xué)校里的事,但人們所學(xué)的很多東西是教室外的東西,甚至從出生就已經(jīng)開(kāi)始,并且學(xué)習(xí)貫穿的人的一生!笨梢(jiàn),作者認(rèn)為學(xué)習(xí)是一生的學(xué)習(xí),終身的學(xué)習(xí)。故答案為A。

【小題2】詞義猜測(cè)題。分析siblings前后的詞語(yǔ)parents, grandparents, friends, 可以推出siblings的意思不可能是doctors, 再由下文 “When they enter school, ….”,可以推出此時(shí)他們還不是學(xué)生, siblings的意思也不可能是teachers, classmates, 故可以排除A、B、C三項(xiàng)。Siblings的意思為 “兄弟姐妹”。

【小題3】句意理解題。文章第三段中 “When they enter school,…They learn which behaviors are likely to be rewarded and which are likely to be punished.”可知,孩子們學(xué)習(xí)什么樣的行為可能得到獎(jiǎng)勵(lì),什么樣的行為可能受到懲罰, 也就是孩子們?cè)谶@個(gè)階段應(yīng)該學(xué)會(huì)怎樣舉止得當(dāng)。故答案為C。

【小題4】正誤判斷題。由文章第二段首句 “Even before they enter school, young children learn to walk, to talk, and to use their hands to use toys, food, and other objects.”可知,學(xué)習(xí)是從兒童時(shí)期開(kāi)始的,A項(xiàng)表述錯(cuò)誤, 符合題意,為正確答案。B、C、D三項(xiàng)分別從文章第三段的二、三、四句找到明確的表述。

【小題5】段落大意題。文章最后一段,“研究記憶的心理學(xué)家們對(duì)于大腦如何儲(chǔ)存知識(shí),這種儲(chǔ)存發(fā)生在什么時(shí)候,以及當(dāng)我們需要這些知識(shí)時(shí)大腦如何想起來(lái)等等問(wèn)題很感興趣。比較而言,研究學(xué)習(xí)的心理學(xué)家們則對(duì)于行為以及由于人們的經(jīng)歷怎樣改變了行為等問(wèn)題更感興趣!笨梢(jiàn),本段主要講述了兩類(lèi)心理學(xué)家以及他們所感興趣的問(wèn)題。涉及到了學(xué)習(xí)、大腦和行為的關(guān)系。

In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes(想當(dāng)然地認(rèn)為)it's a matter of life and death. The time chosen for the call comm.unicates its importance.  

In social life, time plays a very important part. In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the attention to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise(產(chǎn)生) between people from cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S. no one would think if keeping a business associate waiting for an hour. It would be too impolite. A person who is 5 minutes late is expected to make a short apology. If he is less than 5 minutes late, he will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence. 

60. "The same meaning is attached to telephone calls after 11:00p.m." Here "attached" means _____.

A. taken       B. drawn        C. given          D. shown

61. According to this passage, time plays an importantt role in _____.  

A. everyday life                    B. school life

C. communication                    D. private life

62. The best title for this passage is _____.

A. The Voice of Time

B. The Importance of Time

C. The Importance of an Announcement 

D. Time and Tide Wait for No Man

63. According to the passage, the author of the article may agree to which of the following statements?  

A. It is appropriate to send your invitation cards three or four days before a dinner party date in U.S.A..

B. It may be appropriate to send your invitation cards to your guests three or four days before a dinner party date in some countries.

C. It is best for one to make telephone calls at eight because it costs much less.

D. If one is less than 5 minutes late, he has to make a short apology.

Wherever you went in the large hall, people were talking about the same thing. The PT/ Wireless and Networks Comm. China(中國(guó)國(guó)際通信設(shè)備技術(shù)博覽會(huì))held in Beijing last year was the biggest telecom exhibition in Asia.There were 400 representatives from 21 countries. But everyone was speaking the language of technology and there was only one word on their lips-3G.  

Third-generation mobile phones, known as 3G, are the next big step for the telecom industry Data speeds in 3G networks are much quicker than present technology. This means users can have high-speed Internet access and enjoy video and CD-quality music on their phones.

“Mobile data is not a dream; it’s not an option—it’s a requirement,” said Len Lauer, head of US communications company Sprint PCS, at a 3G conference in Bangkok earlier this month.

       With 3G, you can forget about text messages telling you yesterday’s news; a 3G phone can receive video news programs, updated four times a day. Internet access will also be much quicker, making it easier to surf the Web on your phone than on your computer at home.

       Face-to-face video calls

       And don’t worry about getting lost. 3G phones offer map services so you can find a new restaurant just by pressing a few keys on your handset.

       However, the most impressive part of 3G technology is video calling. With live two-way video communication, you can have face-to-face talks with friends and family on your mobile phone.

       Many European countries have already launched the service. In May 2000 the UK Government awarded five licenses to run 3G wireless services, while the first 3G phones arrived in Italy four years later.

       International telecom companies can’t wait to sell 3G in China, the world’s largest mobile telecommunications market. But they will have to be patient. At the moment, China is busy testing its 3G-based technologies, networks and services. This will be followed by a trial phase before the phones can finally hit the shops.

“We need to create a pool of 3G customers before the large-scale commercial launch of the service,”said Fan Yunjun, marketing manager for Beijing Mobile.“We expect that the 3G licenses will be given out late next year.”

1.What can be inferred about the exhibition from the first paragraph?

       A.About 400 people attended the exhibition.

       B.It was the biggest exhibition ever held in Asia.

       C.Representatives were required to speak English.

       D.The exhibition was mainly about 3G technology.

2.With 3G, you can do the following EXCEPT       .

       A.find your way easily                            

       B.learn what’s going on in the world

       C.make your computer run faster            

       D.make face-to-face video telephone calls

3.According to the text, which functions of the following makes 3G technology most extraordinary?

       A.It can provide video news programs, updated four times a day.

       B.Users can have face-to-face talks with friends and family on your mobile phone

       C.Users can enjoy video and CD-quality music on their phones

       D.It’ll be easier for users to surf the Web on your phone than on your computer at home.
