B

Five years ago, when I taught art at a school in Seattle, I used Tinkertoys as a test at the

beginning of a term to find out something about my students. I put a small set of Tinkertoys in

front of each student, and said:”Make something out of the Tin

kertoys. You have 45 minutes

today -

and 45minutes each day for the rest of the week.”

A few students hesitated to start. They waited to see the rest of the class would do. Several

others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided.

Another group built something out of their own imaginations.

Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time. His

constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home. I was

delighted at the presence of such a student. Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work. His

presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would

infect(

感染

) other students.

Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside. I ran the risk of losing those students who

had a different style of thinking. Without fail one would declare, ”But I’m just not creative.”

“Do you dream at night when you’re asleep?”

“Oh, sure.”

“So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.” The student would tell something wildly

imaginative. Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads. “That’s pretty creative.

Who does that for you?”

“Nobody. I do it.”

“Really

-

at night, when you’re asleep?”

“Sure.”

“Try doing it in the daytime, in class, okay?”

5. The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to ________?

A. know more about the students

B. make the lessons more exciting

C. raise the students’ interest in art

D. teach the students abou

t toy design

6. What do we know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3?

A. He liked to help his teacher.

B. He preferred to study alone.

C. He was active in class.

D. He was imaginative.

7. What does the underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 4 pro

bably mean?

A. Mistake.

B. Drawback.

C. Difficulty.

D. Burden.

8. Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams?

A. To help them to see their creativity.

B. To find out about their sleeping habits.

C. To help them to improve their memory.

D. To find out about their ways of thinking.

C

Reading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They

choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website turns

the page on the traditional idea of a book group.

Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share.

BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it

4

in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each

new reader who finds it.

Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change

your life are t

he people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”

Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever

finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.

People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it.

E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossing to keep them updated about where their books have

been found. Bruce peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to

gather dust on a shelf at home.

BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the

virtual(

虚拟

). The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred

thirty-five countries.

9. Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph?

A. To explain what they are.

introduce BookCrossing.

C. To stress the importance of reading.

D. To encourage readers to share their ideas.

10. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer

to?

A. The book.

adventure.

C.A public place.

D. The identification number.

11. What will a BookCrosser do with a book after reading it?

A. Meet other readers to discuss it.

it safe in his bookcase.

C. Pass it on to another reader.

D. Mail it back to its owner.

12. What is the best title for the text?

D

A new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life.

Frank

Hurley’s

pictures

would

be

outstanding

----undoubtedly

first-rate

photo-journalism ---if

they had been made last week. In fact, they were shot from 1914 through 1916, most of them after

a

disastrous

shipwreck(

海滩

),

by

a

cameraman

who

had

no

reasonable

expectation

of

survival.

Many

of

the

images

were

stored

in

an

ice chest,

under

freezing

water,

in

the

damaged

wooden

ship.

The ship was the

Endurance

, a small, tight, Norwegian-built three-master that was intended to

take

Sir

Ernest

Shackleton

and

a

small

crew

of

seamen

and

scientists,

27

men

in

all,

to

the

southernmost

shore

of

Antarctica’s

Weddell

Sea.

From

that

point

Shackleton

wanted

to

force

a

passage by dog sled(

雪橇

) across the continent. The journey was intended to achieve more than

what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done. Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early

in

6

1912 but had died with his four companions on the march back.

As

writer

Caroline

Alexander

makes

clear

in

her

forceful

and

well-researched

story

The

Endurance

,

adventuring

was

even

then

a

thoroughly

commercial

effort.

Scott’s

last

journey,

completed as he lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger, caught the world’s imagination, and a film

made in his honor drew crowds. Shackleton, a onetime British merchant- navy officer who had got

to within 100 miles of the South Pole in 1908, started a business before his 1914 voyage to make

money

from

movie

and

still

photography.

Frank

Hurley,

a

confident

and

gifted

Australian

photographer who knew the Antarctic, was hired to make the images, most of which have never

before been published.

13. What do we know about the photos taken by Hurley?

A. They were made last week

B. They showed undersea sceneries

C. They were found by a cameraman

D. They recorded a disastrous adventure

14. Who reached the South Pole first according to the text?

A. Frank Hurley

B. Ernest Shackleton

C. Robert Falcon Scott

D. Caroline Alexander

15. What does Alexander think was the purpose of the 1914 voyage?

A. Artistic creation

B. Scientific research

C. Money making

D. Treasure hunting

【答案】

13. D

14. C

15. C
