Think of an ordinary college classroom today: a vast classroom where a professor gives a long

41

. Three

weeks later, students remember only a tenth of what they have learned. This is not the way to produce the next generation

of creative

42

.

However,

in

20

years,

a

team

of

experts

from

different

fields

will

43

our

professors.

Students

will

meet

real-life challenge.

Instead of sitting

44

in a big hall to be tutored, students

are expected to cooperate with each

other, where future doctors, lawyers and artists try to work together to solve problems or to create something.

Fortunately, such a future classroom is not only a

45

. A company named Embrace has started a challenge

project at Stanford. Within a certain period of time, students have to work

46

with

fellow

classmates

to

achieve

a

certain

goal,

sometimes

to

design

a

business

plan

or

to

work

out

a

product

advertisement.

During

the

process,

every

student is taking an active part in the project. Sometimes they even

47

over details.

And when the action plan is

agreed

on,

every

student

is

devoted

to

the

program.

As

for

the

effect

of

the

project,

most

participants

admit

that

the

project is a(n)

48

learning experience they can’t get in a(n)

49

classroom. And the hands-on knowledge they

have learned from the project will greatly do good to their future work.

Reading Comprehension

Section A

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.

Generally speaking, most people are frightened of making public speech. Losing face is the greatest

50

and

failing

to

appeal

to

the

audience

comes

a

close

second.

Most

people

have

plenty

of

insecurities,

and

public

speaking

seems like a situation that will bring all the

51

feelings out. Some people are always expected of highly and they will

be

under

pressure

to

be

___52

.Then

they

may

still

feel

unsatisfied

with

their

performance

although

the

general

public have already been

53

by their speech.

While lively people will feel less fear, it does not mean they will

54

do the job better. On the contrary, in many

cases

some

very

shy

people

do

manage

to

present

55

speeches.

In

fact,

56

is

not

what

mainly

decides

whether you do well at a public speech. Regardless of what you are like in real life, the key seems to be to act yourself

Doing public speaking as actual acting, performing the lines of a character other than yourself, does not make you

succeed. While politicians may limit damage by having carefully prepared, acting again and again

57

, there is

always a hidden

58

among the audience that they might not be correct.

Likewise, many speeches of great speakers in history are far from 59. The audience may on the spot be persuaded by

them while afterwards they even can’t r

emember what they have heard and have a feeling of being

60

.

Although, as Earl Spencer proved at his sister Princess Diana’s funeral, it is possible both to prepare every word and

to

61

naturally, prepared speeches rarely

62

in public. But,

only being yourself doesn’t help get rid of all the

fears either. If you spoke as if you were in your own kitchen, it would be to

63

. The distance between the speaker

and the audience would be too short to strengthen the need for normal communication and information exchange, which

are the main

64

of a public speech.

50. A. concern

B. preference

C. resistance

D. sorrow

51. A. eager

B. unsafe

C. special

D. usual

(A)

Isabel is my sister. She did everything first: read, cycle, play the piano and all. And when I was very little, everything

Isabel

did,

I

follow

suit.

Then

finally

one

day

I

got

old

enough

to

say

NO

and

I

did.

Realizing

my

disobey,

Isabel

gradually

grew

angry

at

me

and

sometimes

treated

me

unfairly.

However,

for

most,

time,

I

ignored

her

bad

attitude.

Although sometimes she was

a pain in the neck

, she was still my darling sister.

The real change in our- relationship came when she was 12 and I was 10. That summer, she wanted to go away to

the Music Camp for the summer: As a good violinist, I agreed to go with her. For that trip, I played more violin than I

thought was possible. But that was not the memory that stands out most about the Camp.

One day, we were in a cafeteria for lunch. I got a piece of fried Chicken on my plate, but I was full. So I asked if

Isabel would like it. She nodded, so I put the chicken on her plate. At that time, a group of people came in. When they

saw us, they happily greeted us and surrounded me excitedly telling me that they had heard me playing the violin in the

Camp and how they liked my performance. I saw Isabel’s face change colour and I knew that as a proud girl the situation

bothered her. But there's nothing I could do about it.

When they left, suddenly Isabel cried

the chicken and threw it at me. It hit me right on the face and everyone stopped to look. The cafeteria fell silent and I was

heartbroken for the first time in my life.

Soon Isabel got so good at the violin that she went to the Royal School. And I would never follow. But she remained

Mum’s

ruler.

All

my

future

achievements

were

measured

up

against

her.

Mum

thought

that

what

Isabel

did

would

encourage me. But after the event at the Summer Camp, I would never follow her suit anymore.
