Passage One Questions
61 -65 are based on the following passage. There are
some very good things about open education. This way of teaching allows the
students to grow as people, and to develop their own interests in many subjects.
Open education allows students to be responsible for their own education, as
they are responsible for what they do in life. Some students do badly in a
traditional classroom. The open classroom may allow them to enjoy learning. Some
students will be happier in an open education school. They will not have to
worry about grades or rules. For students who worry about these things a lot, it
is a good idea to be in an open classroom. But many students
will not do well in an open classroom. For some students, there are too few
rules. These students will do little in school. They will not make good use of
this type of education. Because open education is so different from traditional
education, these students may have a problem getting used to making so many
choices. For many students it is important to have some rules in the classroom.
They worry about the rules even when there are none. Even a few rules will help
this kind of student. The last point about open education is that some
traditional teachers do not like it. Many teachers do not believe in open
education. Teachers who want to have an open classroom may have many problems at
their schools. You now know what open education is. Some of its
good points and bad points have been explained. You may have your own opinion
about open education. The writer thinks that open education is a good idea, but
only in theory. In actual fact, it may not work very well in a real class or
school. The writer believes that most students, but of course not all students,
want some structure in their classes. They want and need to have rules. In some
cases, they must be made to study some subjects. Many students are pleased to
find subjects they have to study interesting. They would not study those
subjects if they did not have to.

填空题Democracy is not a new conception. The ancient Athenians
1
had a democratic system. Their democracy was the same as
American democracy in many ways. Furthermore, there are
2
several important differences between their democracy and ours.
The ancient Athenian citizens voted for
their representatives, and they also voted for certain issues.
3
Moreover, any qualified citizen could become public official. The
4
ancient Athenian democratic government also protected the
citizens" right private property, encouraging private business and
5
supported public education.
A similar system of representative government exists in the
United States. United States citizens vote for their
representatives, and they can impeach representatives, too.
6
American citizens also vote on certain important matters. In the
United States, like in ancient Athens, any qualified citizen can
7
become a public official. The government of this country also
protects private property, encourages private business enterprise.
and supports public education.
The major difference between these two forms of
democracy is the definition of citizen. In ancient Athens a
citizen was a free man, not a woman and a slave. Women and
8
slaves were largest part of the population; thus, the Athenian
9
democracy was not broadly representative. In the United States,
however, all American men and women, of all races and
religions, are citizens. Slavery is legal in this country.
10
Therefore, American democracy is more broadly representative.
In brief, democracy is an old and varied concept. In the
Past it meant different things to many different people.

填空题Young people, particularly teenagers, love escapist fare. They watch television, go to the movies, or even read books to get away to a world that is often, for many, foreign, or at least, unapproachab] They watch and read about others-maybe of their own age, maybe not-fall in and out of love, h e wild adventures, travel the globe, or just hang out with their friends, Each journey is marked by a rite of passage, a time-tested travail in which the hero or protagonist must struggle with some conflict-either external or internal-to become a fully realized human being. By challenging the system or overcoming a long-held fear, the hero of a tale embodies the best of what the watcher or reader hooes for in his own life and, thus, symbolizes the hopes and admiration of many. To entice young people to become avid readers, teachers and librarians often suggest works that, for some, are difficult to read. Well-intentioned as these informed advocates for young adult readers are, they often neglect a host of stories and novels that are aimed specifically at young adult readers. Too often, young people, particularly high school students, are handed material that is far beyond their knowledge or age range. Yes, Shakespeare, Dickens, and Hawthorne are representative of a class of time-honored, traditionally revered, classical authors, but they are, to be sure, not the only authors that young people should be encouraged to read. Indeed, there are many authors who young people often do not read, and should. The burgeoning field of young adult literature provides a rich panoply of good books from which young people can select to read and enjoy. Hours of escapist fare cloaked in realistic language and stories await eager young readers who find traditional literature too stuffy for their tastes. For younger readers (ages 9-12) there are works by Judy Blume (Blubber; Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret), Paula Danziger (The Cat Ate My Gymsuit, There's a Bat in Bunk Five), and E. L. Koningsburg (From the Mixed up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankwiler). For older readers (ages 13-17), there is S. E. Hinton (The Chocolate War, After the First Death). These are but a few of the many books specifically written for young people that appeal to their needs and sensibilities and still provide the escape from their everyday lives that all human beings need when they long for entertainment. Thus, the task of lovers of good books-librarians, teachers, and parents, to name a few-is simple. They are duty bound to introduce young people to books that not only provide them a chance to explore new universes but edify them and engage their interest as well. Adults who make it their business to work with young people, to motivate them to become more than they ever could possibly imagine, should make it their business to familiarize themselves with the world of young adult fiction so that they can, in turn, recommend good books that speak to the interests and needs of the young people with whom they work. Otherwise, too often, these young people will never know the pure joy that reading can bring. Reading provides us not only a chance to explore new (66) but also a way of getting away to a (n) (67) world. That is why people especially, young adults, are (68) to become avid readers. However, (69) librarians, teachers, and parents often suggest traditional literature works to young readers which may demotivate them to read. Only if informed adults recommend books engaging the young people's (70) , they will know the joy that reading brings.
