D、Bylisteningtoexplanationsfromskilledpeople.

标准答案：C

知识点解析：事实辨认题。文章指出，孩子们学习很多技能和学习语言一样，犯了

A^providingstudentswithhelpwhennecessary

findingoutstudents'mistakesandcorrectingthem

C、teachingstudentstheessentialknowledgethattheywillneedintheirfuturelife

D、tellingstudentsthecorrectanswers

标准答案：A

知识点解析：事实辨认题。文章有这样的句子“Ourjobshouldbetohelpthechild

whenhetellsusthathecan'tfindawaytogettherightanswer'',因此教师的任务不是

给他们正确答案，也不是纠正他们的错误，根据文中“Theideathatthereisabodyof

knowledgetobelearntatschoolandusedfbrtherestofone'slifenonsenseinaworldas

A、educatedpersons

C、teachers

要的是要对自己已知和未知的东西有一个正确的了解，因此只有他们才能对自己的

能力做出正确评价。

52、Theauthorfearsthatifadultsalwayscorrectmistakesforchildren,childrenwill

A、fearfulofmakingmistakes

toocriticalofthemselves

C、unabletothinkforthemselves

D、unabletousebasicskills

就会过于依赖教师而不会自己做出判断，故C正确。
