19、end. In other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them. Our purpose is to fit them for life. In some modern countries it has for some time been fashionable to think that by free education for all whether rich or poor, clever or stupid - one can solve all the problems
20、of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough; we find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degree；they refuse to do what they think low work; and, in fact, work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in suc
21、h countries. But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor; we can live without education, but we die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we shou
22、ld get terrible diseases in our towns In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work suited to his brains and ability and, secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessar
23、y to society, and that it is very bad to be ashamed of ones work. Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society.24. The writer of the passage thinks that _.A. education can settle most of the worlds problemsB. free education for all probably leads to a perfect worldC. free educ
24、ation wont help to solve problemsD. all the social problems cant be solved by education25. The writer wants to prove that _.A. our society needs all kinds of jobs B. our society needs free education for allC. a farmer is more important than a professor D. work with hands is the most important26. The
25、 purpose of education is _.A. to choose officials for the country B. to prepare children mainly for their future workC. to let everyone receive education fit for him D. to build a perfect world27. The passage tells us about _ of the education.A. the means B. the system C. the value D. the type CEver
26、 walked to the shops only to find, once there, youve completely forgotten what you went for? Or struggled to remember the name of an old friend? For years weve accepted that a forgetful brain is as much a part of ageing as wrinkles and greyhair. But now a new book suggests that weve got it all wrong
27、. According to The Secret Life of the Grown-up Brain, by science writer Barbara Strauch, when it comes to the important things, our brains actually get better with age. In fact, she argues that some studies have found that our brain hits its peak between our 40s and 60s much later than previously th
28、ought. Furthermore, rather than losing many brain cells as we age, we retain them, and even produce new ones well into middle age. For years its been assumed that brain, much like the body, declines with age. But the longest, largest study into what happens to people as they age suggests otherwise.
29、This continuing research has followed 6,000 people since 1956, testing them everyseven years. It has found that on average, participants performed better on cognitive (认知的) tests in their 40s and 50s than they had done in their 20s. Specifically, older people did better on tests of vocabulary, verba
30、l memory (how many words you can remember) and problem solving. Where they performed less well was number ability and perceptual speed how fast you can push a button when ordered. However, with more complex tasks such as problem-solving and language, we are at our best at middle age and beyond. In s
31、hort, researchers are now coming up with scientific proof that we do get wiser with age. Neuroscientists are also finding that we are happier with ageing. A recent US study found older people were much better at controlling and balancing their emotions. It is thought that when were younger we need t
32、o focus more on the negative aspects of life in order to learn about the possible dangers in the world, but as we get older weve learned our lessons and are sub-consciously aware that we have less time left in life: therefore, it becomes more important for us to be happy. 28. Barbara Strauch probabl
33、y agrees that _. A. the young are better at handling important thingsB. ageing leads to the decline of the function of the brainC. peoples brains work best between their 40s and 60s D. wrinkles and grey hair are the only symbols of ageing29. The continuing research has found older people perform bet
34、ter on _. A. number ability B. perceptual speed C. body balance D. vocabulary tests 30. People are happier with age because _. A. they know how to share feelings B. they cannot focus on negative aspectsC. they learn to value the time left D. they do not realize the possible dangers 31. What is the m
35、ain idea of the passage? A. People get more forgetful with age. B. People get wiser with age.C. People get happier with age. D. People get more self-aware with age. D The values of artistic works, according to cultural relativism(相对主义), are simply reflections of local social and economic conditions.
36、 Such a view, however, fails to explain the ability of some works of art to excite the human mind across cultures and through centuries. History has witnessed the endless productions of Shakespearean plays in every major language of the world. It is never rare to find that Mozart packs Japanese conc
37、ert halls, as Japanese painter Hiroshige does Paris galleries, Unique works of this kind are different from todays popular art, even if they began as works of popular art. They have set themselves apart in their timeless appeal and will probably be enjoyed for centuries into the future. In a 1757 es
38、say, the philosopher David Hume argued that because “the general principles of taste are uniform(不变的) in human nature,” the value of some works of art might be essentially permanent. He observed that Homer was still admired after two thousand years. Works of this type, he believed, spoke to deep and
39、 unvarying features of human nature and could continue to exist over centuries. Now researchers are applying scientific methods to the study of the universality of art. For example, evolutionary psychology is being used by literary scholars to explain the long-lasting themes and plot devices in fict
40、ion. The structures of musical pieces are now open to experimental analysis as never before. Research findings seem to indicate that the creation by a great artist is as permanent an achievement as the discovery by a great scientist.32.According to the passage, what do we know about cultural relativ
41、ism?A. It introduces different cultural values. B. It relates artistic values to local conditions.C. It explains the history of artistic works. D. It excites the human mind throughout the world.33. In Paragraph 2, the artists are mentioned in order to show that _.A. history gives art works special a
42、ppeal to set them apartB. great artists are skilled at combining various culturesC. popular arts are hardly distinguishable from great artsD. great works of art can go beyond national boundaries34. According to Hume, some works of art can exist for centuries because _. A. they appeal to unchanging f
43、eatures of human nature B. they are created by the worlds greatest artistsC. they establish some general principles of art D. they are results of scientific study35. Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?A. Are Popular Arts Permanent?B. Is Human Nature Uniform?C. Are Arti
44、stic Values Universal?D. Is Cultural Relativism Scientific?第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Advice About Stress: Dont Let It Ruin Your Life!There are many reasons why people suffer from stress._36_We give you advice on how to find the cause or causes of your stress, and
