16、earning is informed by conservative or progressive ideologies （思想意识 ）. Informal learning”, on the other hand, is used to refer to learning which takes place outside the classroom.These definitions （定义）provide the basic difference between the two models of learning. Formal learning is separated from

17、daily life and may actually promote ways of learning and thinking which often run counter to those obtained form practical daily life. A characteristic feature of formal learning is the centrality of activities which can prepare for the changes of adult life outside the classroom, but it cannot, by

18、its nature, consist of these challenges.In doing this, language plays an important role as a major channel for information exchange. The language of the classroom is more similar to the language used by middle-class families than that used by working-class families. Middle class children thus find i

19、t easier to gain the language of the classroom than their working-class classmates.Informal learning, in contrast, occurs in the setting to which it relates, making learning immediately relevant （相关的）.In this context, language does not occupy such an important role: the childs experience of learning

20、 is more direct, involving sight, touch, taste, and smell senses that are not used in the classroom. Whereas formal learning is transmitted by teachers selected to perform this role, informal learning is gained as a natural part of childs socialization. Adults or older childrenwho are proficient （熟练

21、的）in skill or activity provide - sometimes unintentionally（无意义地）-target models of behavior in the course of everyday activity.Informal learning, therefore, can take place at any time and place.The motivation of learner provides another important difference between the two models of learning. The for

22、mal learner is generally motivated by some kind of external goal such as parental approval, social status, and possible financial reward. The informal learner, however, tends to be motivated by successful completion of the task itself and the partial knowledge of adult status.Given that learning sys

23、tems develop as a response to the social and economic contexts in which they are firmly, it is understandable that modern, high urbanized （城市化）societies have concentrated almost specially on the establishment of formal education systems. What these societies have failed to recognize are the ways in

24、which formal learning inhibits the childs multi-sensory acquisition of practical skills. The failure to provide a child with a direct education may in part account for many of the social problems which trouble our societies.Formal learning and informal learning are mainly told differences by.the pla

25、ce where they take placethe kind of knowledge to be obtainedthe people who learnthe language used in instructionThe language used in classroom instruction explains.how learning can take place efficientlywhy it is not easy for children of working-class families to get high scoreswhy informal learning

26、 is more importantwhy formal learning does not work with children of middle-class families 38. In informal learning.children usually follow the examples of adults to shape their own behaviorchildrens learning is more directchildren are highly motivated by the learning activity it selfall of the abov

27、eThe authors attitude towards the present state of formal learning is.A. agreeableB. criticalC. suspectingD. indifferent（B）Humanity uses a little less than half the water available world wide. Yet occurrence of shortages and droughts are causing famine and distress in some areas and industrial and a

28、gricultural by-products are polluting water supplies. Since the worlds population is expected to double in the next 50 years, many experts think we are on the edge of a widespread water crisis.But that doesnt have to be the outcome. Water shortages do not have to trouble the world if we start valuin

29、g water more than we have in the past. Just as we began to appreciate petroleum more after the 1970s oil crises, today we must start looking at water from a fresh economic perspective. We can no longer afford to consider water a virtually free resource of which we can use as much as we like in any w

30、ay we want.Instead, for all users except the domestic demand of the poor, governments should price water to reflect its actual value. This means charging a fee for the water itself as well as for the supply costs.Governments should also protect this resource by providing water in more economically a

31、nd environmentally sound ways. For example, often the cheapest way to provide irrigation water in the dry tropics is through small-scale projects, such as gathering rainfall in depressions（凹地）and pumping it to nearby cropland.No matter what steps governments take to provide water efficiently, they m

32、ust change their institutional and legal approaches to water use. Rather than spread control among hundreds or even thousands of local, regional, and national agencies that watch various aspects of water use, countries should set up central authorities to coordinate water policy.What is the real cau

33、se of the potential water crisis?Only half of the worlds water can be used.The world population is increasing faster and faster.Half of the worlds water resources have been seriously polluted.Humanity has not placed sufficient value on waterresources.As indicated in the passage, the water problem .i

34、s already serious in certain parts of the worldhas been exaggerated by some experts in the fieldposed a challenge to the technology of building reservoirsis underestimated by government organizations at different levelsAccording to the author, the water price should.be reduced to the minimumstimulat

35、e domestic demandcorrespond to its real valuein underestimated by government organizations at different levelsThe author says that in some hot and dry areas it is advisable to.build big lakes to store waterConstruct big pumping stationsbuild small and cheap irrigation systemschannel water from nearb

36、y rivers to croplandIn order to raise the efficiency of the water supply, measures should be taken to.guarantee （保证）full protection of the environmentcentralize the management of water resourcesincrease the sense of responsibility of agencies at all levelsencourage local and regional control of wate

37、r resources(C)Even before my father left us, my mother had to go back to work to support our family. Once I came out of the kitchen, complaining, Mom, I cant peel potatoes. I have only one hand.Mom never looked up from sewing. You get yourself into that kitchen and peel those potatoes, she told me.

38、And dont ever use that as an excuse for anything again!In the second grade, our teacher lined up my class oh the playground and had each of us race across the monkey bars, swinging from one high steel rod to the next. When it was my turn, I shook my head. Some kids behind me laughed, and I went home

39、 crying.That night I told Morn about it. She hugged me, and I saw her well see about that look. The next afternoon, she took me back to school. At the deserted playground, Mom looked carefully at the bars.Now, pull up with your fight arm, she advised. She stood by as I struggled to lift myself with

40、my right hand until I could hook the bar with my other elbow. Day after day we practiced, and she praised me for every rung I reached. I d never forget the next time, crossing the rungs. I looked down at the kids who were standing with their mouths open.One night, after a dance at my new junior high

41、, I lay in bed sobbing. I could hear Mom come into my room. Mom, I said, weeping, none of the girls would dance with me.For a long time, I didnt hear anything. Then she said, Oh, honey, someday youll be beating those boys off with a bat. Her voice was faint and cracking. I peeked out from my covers

42、to see tears running down her cheeks. Then I knew how much she suffered on my behalf. She had never let me see her tears.Which of the following expressions can be used most suitably to describe Moms attitude when she made the child to peel potatoes?A. Cruel.B. Serious. C. Strict.D. Cold.From the pas

43、sage, we know monkey bars can help a child train _the skill to throw and catch thingsthe speed of ones hand movementthe strength and skill to hang and swaythe bodily skill to rotate round a barWhat does the sentence I saw her well see about that look imply?Mom believed every aim could be achieved if

44、 you stuck to it.The race across monkey bars was not difficult enough for a child to give up.Mom was determined to prove she herself was better than the teacher.What the child had said brought Mom great attraction and curiosity.When the child looked down at the kids, they were standing with their mo

45、uths open because.they felt sorry for what they had done beforethey were afraid the author might fall off and get hurtthey wanted to see what the author would do on the barsthey were astonished to find the authors progressThe most probable conclusion we can draw after reading the passage isthe last

46、incident was sad enough to make Mom weepthe childs experience reminded Mom of that of her ownMom could solve any problem except the one in the last paragraphin fact Mom suffered more in the process of the childs growth（D）The human body has developed its millions of nerves to be highly aware of what

47、goes on both inside and outside of it. This helps us adjust to the outside world. Without our nerves and our brain,which is a system of nerves, we couldnt knowswhngt. But wehpKpp for our sensitivity. Wecan feel pain when the slightest thing is wrong with any part of our body. The history oftorture（折

48、磨）is based on the human body being open to pain.But there is a way to handle pain. Look at the Indianfakir（苦行僧）who sits on a bed of nails.Fakirs can put a needle right through an arm, and feel no pain. This ability that some humans have developed to handle pain should give us ideas about how the min

49、d can deal with pain.The big thing in withstanding pain is our attitude toward it. If the dentist says,“ This willlittle, “ it helps us to accept the pain. By staying relaxed, and by treating the pain as an interesting sensation, we can handle the pain without failing apart. After all, although pain

50、 is unpleasant sensation, it is still a sensation, and sensations are the stuff of life.What does the writer mean by saying“ we pay for our sensitivity“ in the first paragraWe have to take care of our sense of pain.We suffer from our sense of feeling.We should try hard to resist pain.We are hurt whe
