37、 of American college students visit the Internet, and this market is expected to grow from 15.2 million in 2003 to 16.4 million in 2007.

54、y rewards for students creativityC.the study of relationship between actions and their consequencesD.the effects of external rewards on students performance答案:D解析 本题要求判断心理学家们在谈论何种问题时意见分歧。依据文章第一段第一行、第三行Psychologists take opposing views of how external rewards，from warm praise to cold cash，affect moti

55、vation and creativity(外部奖励，从热情洋溢的话语表扬到冷漠的现金，如何影响一个人的动机和创造力，对这一点，心理学家们采用完全不同的观点。) 其中该句中的opposing和divided相对应。views和attitudes相对应，affect转化到名词effect，所以，D应为正确选择。2. What is the response of many educators to external rewards for their students?A.They have no doubts about them.B.They have doubts about them.C

56、.They approve of them.D.They avoid talking about them.答案:B解析 作者在第一段中叙述的两种态度。第一种是行为学家的观点，外部奖励促进学习。第二种是认知学派的观点，外部奖励摧毁了学生的创造力。本题要求判断教育家们的态度。依据文章第二段第一行The latter view has gained many supporters，especially among educators(第二种观点获得了许多人的赞成，尤其是教育家们)，教育家们的观点应该是和认知学派的观点一致的。因此选择项B符合题意。3.
