单选题 One of the most eminent of psychologists, Clark Hull, claimed that the essence of reasoning lies in the putting together of two 'behavior segments' in some novel way, never actually performed before, so as to reach a goal. Two followers of Clark Hull, Howard and Tracey Kendler, {{U}} {{U}} 1 {{/U}} {{/U}}a test for children that was explicitly based on Clark Hull's principles. The children were given the {{U}} {{U}} 2 {{/U}} {{/U}}of learning to operate a machine so as to get a toy. In order to succeed they had to go through a two-stage {{U}} {{U}} 3 {{/U}} {{/U}}. The children were trained on each stage {{U}} {{U}} 4 {{/U}} {{/U}}. The stages consisted merely of pressing the correct one of two buttons to get a marble; and of {{U}} {{U}} 5 {{/U}} {{/U}}the marble into a small hole to release the toy. The Kendlers found that the children could learn the separate bits readily enough. {{U}} {{U}} 6 {{/U}} {{/U}}the task of getting a marble by pressing the button they could get the marble; given the task of getting a toy when a marble was handed to them, they could use the marble. (All they had to do was put it in a hole.) {{U}} {{U}} 7 {{/U}} {{/U}}they did not for the most part 'integrate', to use the Kendlers' terminology. They did not press the button to get the marble and then {{U}} {{U}} 8 {{/U}} {{/U}}without further help to use the marble to get the toy. So the Kendlers concluded that they were incapable of deductive {{U}} {{U}} 9 {{/U}} {{/U}}. The mystery at first appears to deepen when we learn, from {{U}} {{U}} 10 {{/U}} {{/U}}psychologist, Michael Cole, and his colleagues, that adults in an African culture apparently cannot do the Kendlers' task either. But it lessens, {{U}} {{U}} 11 {{/U}} {{/U}}when we learn that a task was devised which was {{U}} {{U}} 12 {{/U}} {{/U}}to the Kendlers' one but much easier for the African males to handle. {{U}} {{U}} 13 {{/U}} {{/U}}the button-pressing machine, Cole used a locked box and two {{U}} {{U}} 14 {{/U}} {{/U}} colored match-boxes, one of which contained a key that would open the box. Notice that there are still two {{U}} {{U}} 15 {{/U}} {{/U}}segments--"open the right matchbox to get the key" and "use the key to open the box"--so the task seems formally to be {{U}} {{U}} 16 {{/U}} {{/U}} But psychologically it is quite different. Now the subject is dealing not with a strange machine but with familiar meaningful objects; and it is clear to him what he is meant to do. It then {{U}} {{U}} 17 {{/U}} {{/U}}that the difficulty of integration is greatly reduced. Recent work by Simon Hewson is of great interest here for it shows that, for young children, {{U}} {{U}} 18 {{/U}} {{/U}}, the difficulty lies not in the {{U}} {{U}} 19 {{/U}} {{/U}}processes which the task demands, but in certain perplexing features of the apparatus and the procedure. When these are changed in ways which do not at all affect the inferential nature of the problem, then five-year-old children solve the problem {{U}} {{U}} 20 {{/U}} {{/U}}college students did in the Kendlers' own experiments.

单选题{{B}}Passage Four{{/B}} Education begins with teachers. Yet teaching seems to be losing its appeal for many of the best and brightest college students. In high school, many of the best students decide that they want to be teachers, but their relatives and friends soon convince them to change their minds. One student's mother kept reminding her of the relatively skimpy salaries teachers currently earn until the student changed to another major. Another student took computer science courses because his father thought that teachers were at the bottom of the social ladder. One said that none of her friends looked upon teaching as a worthwhile career, so she came to think of teaching as not noble enough and went into pharmacy instead. According to several recent reports on the shortcomings of American public schooling, teaching's lack of appeal for the brightest college students is one of the teaching profession's most worrisome problems. Many articles on teaching, currently popular in newspapers, magazines, and professional education journals, concentrate on the negative aspects of teaching. The expression "teacher burnout" is commonly ascribed to thousands of thoughtful and dedicated teachers who are leaving the profession. Teacher burnout is caused by such problems as violence in the classroom, vandalism, inadequate salaries, involuntary transfers, interfering parents, oversized classes, and excessive paperwork. Even the best teachers cannot solve a child's problems, but many of them believe the public expects them to, and they give up teaching in despair. Despite the more limited financial prospects, the deterioration of the American public's attitude toward teachers, and the problems caused by disruptive students, many of the best students conclude that they want to pursue careers in the classroom after all. The three students mentioned above discovered that they wanted personal fulfillment from their life's work more than they wanted material rewards. Each eventually chose to become a teacher. However, a growing body of evidence shows that such students are exceptions, rather than the rule, in America's more than 1,200 teacher-training programs. Many teacher-training schools are beginning to look at ways to recruit the kind of people who would be inclined toward the positive aspects of teaching. The teaching profession has to become more attractive to good students. Prospective teachers will see increased emphasis by national teacher organizations, state certification agencies, and local districts on improving the status of the profession, as well as on improving teacher salaries. Continued efforts to eliminate jobs teachers do that are not teacher--such as policing the restrooms, hallways, and cafeterias--are important for upgrading the profession. While teaching is not a wise career choice for all, teaching is a noble and rewarding profession for those who indeed seek personal fulfillment from their life's work. The first year of teaching is frequently the most frustrating year in a teacher's life. The experience of solving problems that deal with instruction, students, parents, administrators, and fellow teachers is of immeasurable value for future success.

单选题{{B}}Passage Three{{/B}} Today more and more people go to websites when looking for information. Although most readers go to websites for news and e-mail, a form of person-to-person news, or in the form of chatting, they also read books on the web. It's called electronic book (e-book). Electronic books could revolutionize reading, but people ought to consider their far-reaching impacts as well. "The e-book promises to cause a slow tragedy on life as we know it," Jason Ohler, professor of technology assessment, university of Alaska Southeast In Juneau, warned the World Future Society, Bethesda, Md. His assessment weighed the pros and cons (赞成和反对的理由) of e-book technology's impact on social relationships, the environment, the economy, etc. Before you curl up (蜷曲) with an e-book, consider the disadvantages. They increase eyestrain due to poor screen resolution, replace a relatively cheap commodity with a more expensive one, and displace workers in print-book production and traditional publishing. E-books make it easy to share data, thereby threatening copyright agreements and reducing compensation (补偿) of authors, as well as creating nonbiodegradable (不可生物降解的) trash. On the other hand, e-books save paper and trees, reduce the burden of the carrying and storing of printed books, promote self-sufficiency in learning, and make reading a collaborative experience online. They also create new jobs for writers and artists and encourage self-publishing. In final analysis, Ohler points out, e-books should gain society's approval if a few conditions are met: make them biodegradable and recyclable, solve the problem of eye fatigue, be sure the "have-nots" get the technology, and support e-book training in schools and business.
