D.howWesternschoolsystemsmirrorthevalueofindividualism

【答案与解析】

1．C根据文章第一段第一句可知，美国中存在很多宗教和文化的差

异，所以人们高度重视个人主义，因此本题中老师十分注重个人主义是

因为美国是一个多文化的国家，故而选择C。

2．C根据文章第三段“Thesystemisdifficult,butitpreparesstudentsfora

societythatvaluesdisciplineandself-control”可知，亚洲的教学系统能够

为社会培育出重视自律和自我控制的学生。

3．B作者在文中分析了中西方教育各自的优缺点，根据第二段中

的“Thereareadvantagesanddisadvantagestobothofthesystemof

education”可知，完美的教育形式应该是这两者的结合，故而选择B。

4．A作者在第一段就指出，由于美国是一个多文化的国家，所以他们

重视个人主义，他们的教育方式也能反映出这一点，再根据第二段中

的“theeducationalsystemintheOrientreflectssociety’sbeliefingroup

goalsandpurposesratherthanindividualism”可知，东方的教育反映出东

方社会对集体目标的追求，所以作者认为不同的教育方式能反映社会的

不同文化。

5．A本文先介绍了西方和东方的不同教育方法，然后归纳了两者各自

的优缺点，所以本文主要是在讨论中西方教育的不同之处，选择A。

【答案与解析】

6．A根据第一段第一句“Actingissuchanover-crowdedprofession”可

知，演员这一职业被太多人追求。

7．D根据第一段第二句“itisuselesstotrytodiscouragesomeonewho

feelsthathemustact,althoughthechancesofhisbecomingfamousare

slim”可知，对于那些认为自己必须做演员的人来说，成功的机会也是十

分渺茫，即他最后可能不会成功。

8．D根据第二段中的“Afilmproducerhappenedtocatchsightofherone

morningwaitingatabusstop”可知，当ConniePratt在等公交时，一位电

_____.

A.computersciencecoursesinhighschools

B.businessmenandwomenwhousepocketcalculators

C.maintenancechecksoncomputers

D.companieswhichdependonlyoncomputersfordecision-making

【答案与解析】

11．D文章分析了人们过分依赖电子计算机这一问题，在结尾向人们

提出了忠告：尽管电子计算机可以提供各种帮助，但是它不应被视为代

替人们基本思维和推理的东西。文章主要目的是警告人们在心理上对计

算机不要采取懒惰的态度。

12．A文章第二段第二句说：“Questioningandroutinedoublechecks

mustcontinuetobeasmuchapartofgoodbusinessastheywereinpre-

computerdays.”由此我们可以推断出，文章建议那些与计算机打交道的

人应该对它们采取合理的怀疑态度。

13．B理解“internalcomputer”的含义的关键是确定“internal”的意思。这

个词几个基本含义是“内部的，体内的，内在的”。从它所在的上下文来

看，它的意思是“体内的”。“internalcomputer”是一种比喻说法，指人的

大脑，它比计算机更聪明、更复杂，具有储存知识和运用知识的能力。

因此，选项B是正确答案。

14．C根据文章内容我们得知，当今电子计算机的问题既不是令人深思

的也不是容易出故障。它的问题是人们在心理上过分信赖它，对它的能

力毫不怀疑。

15．D作者在文章末尾指出，电脑不应被视为代替人们基本思维和推

理的东西，所以作者不会赞成公司去依靠电脑来做出决策。
