Student participation (参与)in tike 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, student questions, and informal lectures. In graduate discussions the profess or has a “manager”role and the students make presentations and lead discussions. The students do the actual teaching in these discussions.

A professor’ s teaching method is another factor (因素)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 their ideas. Students who object to the professor’ s point of view should be prepared to prove their positions.

In the teaching of science and mathematics, the controlling mode of instruction is generally traditional, with teachers presenting formal lectures and students taking notes. However,new educational trends have turned up in the humanities and social sciences in the past twenty years. Students in education,society, and history classes, for example, are often required to solve problems in groups, design projects, make presentations, and examine case studies. Since some college or university courses are“practical” rather than theoretical，they pay more attention to “doing” for themselves.

“Participation in the classroom is not only accepted but also expected of the student” in many courses except in____.

A.science and mathematics

B.the humanities and social sciences

C.informal lecture courses

D.discussion courses

From the passage we know that education in the humanities and society____.A.has not changed much

B.pay attention to students’ studying instead of teachers’ teaching

C.is much more important than that of science and mathematics

D.has become more practical than theoretical

The reason why some professors ask students to make presentations and lead discussions is that____.

A.these professors are often not well prepared before class

B.these professors want to stress “doing”

C.these professors want to test the students’ abilities

D.these professors are not willing to teach theory

Which of the following sentences is true according to the passage？A.Student participation is not common in the classroom in many courses like society.

B.Some professors want to control the classroom discussion.

C.Some professors usually want the students to take part in the teaching of science and mathematics.

D.New educational trends have turned up in teaching of natural sciences such as chemistry.

第2题

Education begins with teachers. Yet teaching seems to be losing its appeal for many of the

best and brightest college students. In high school, many of the best students decide that they want to be teachers, but their relatives and friends soon convince them to change their minds. One student's mother kept reminding her of the relatively skimpy salaries teachers currently earn until the student changed to another major. Another student took computer science courses because his father thought that teachers were at the bottom of the social ladder. One said that none of her friends looked upon teaching as a worthwhile career, so she came to think of teaching as not noble enough and went into pharmacy instead. According to several recent reports on the shortcomings of American public schooling, teaching's lack of appeal for the brightest college students is one of the teaching profession's most worrisome problems.

Many articles on teaching, currently popular in newspapers, magazines, and professional education journals, concentrate on the negative aspects of teaching. The expression "teacher burnout" is commonly ascribed to thousands of thoughtful and dedicated teachers who are leaving the profession. Teacher burnout is caused by such problems as violence in the classroom, vandalism, inadequate salaries, involuntary transfers, interfering parents, oversized classes, and excessive paperwork. Even the best teachers cannot solve a child's problems, but many of them believe the public expects them to, and they give up teaching in despair.

Despite the more limited financial prospects, the deterioration of the American public's attitude toward teachers, and the problems caused by disruptive students, many of the best students conclude that they want to pursue careers in the classroom after all. The three students mentioned above discovered that they wanted personal fulfillment from their life's work more than they wanted material rewards. Each eventually chose to become a teacher. However, a growing body of evidence shows that such students are exceptions, rather than the rule, in America's more than 1,200 teacher-training programs. Many teacher-training schools are beginning to look at ways to recruit the kind of people who would be inclined toward the positive aspects of teaching. The teaching profession has to become more attractive to good students.

Prospective teachers will see increased emphasis by national teacher organizations, state certification agencies, and local districts on improving the status of the profession, as well as on improving teacher salaries. Continued efforts to eliminate jobs teachers do that are not teacher--such as policing the restrooms, hallways, and cafeterias--are important for upgrading the profession.

While teaching is not a wise career choice for all, teaching is a noble and rewarding profession for those who indeed seek personal fulfillment from their life's work. The first year of teaching is frequently the most frustrating year in a teacher's life. The experience of solving problems that deal with instruction, students, parents, administrators, and fellow teachers is of immeasurable value for future success.

The main idea of the first paragraph is that ______.

A．teachers are indispensable to education

B．teaching is not a worthwhile career

C．teaching is losing its appeal for the best college students

D．teaching profession is looked down on by most parents

Now, seriousness has been replaced by fun.Young people want to be happy.It may seem strange that they should turn to soap opera, which is known for showing trouble in people's lives.But soap opera is enjoyment.Young people can identify with the soap opera character, who, like the college-age viewer, is looking for happy love, and probably not finding it.And soap opera gives young people a chance to feel close to people without having to bear any responsibility for their problems.
