48、formal learning” refers to all learning which takes place in the classroom regardless of whether such learning is informed by conservative or progressive ideologies(思想意识). “Informal learning”, on the other hand, is used to refer to learning which takes place outside the classroom.These definitions(定
49、义) provide the basic difference between the two models of learning. Formal learning is separated from daily life and may actually promote ways of learning and thinking which often run counter to those obtained form practical daily life. A characteristic feature of formal learning is the centrality o
50、f activities which can prepare for the changes of adult life outside the classroom, but it cannot, by its nature, consist of these challenges. In doing this, language plays an important role as a major channel for information exchange. The language of the classroom is more similar to the language us
51、ed by middle-class families than that used by working-class families. Middle class children thus find it easier to gain the language of the classroom than their working-class classmates.Informal learning, in contrast, occurs in the setting to which it relates, making learning immediately relevant (相
52、关的). In this context, language does not occupy such an important role: the childs experience of learning is more direct, involving sight, touch, taste, and smell senses that are not used in the classroom. Whereas formal learning is transmitted by teachers selected to perform this role, informal lear
53、ning is gained as a natural part of childs socialization. Adults or older children who are proficient (熟练的) in skill or activity provide - sometimes unintentionally (无意义地)-target models of behavior in the course of everyday activity.Informal learning, therefore, can take place at any time and place.
54、The motivation of learner provides another important difference between the two models of learning. The formal learner is generally motivated by some kind of external goal such as parental approval, social status, and possible financial reward. The informal learner, however, tends to be motivated by
55、 successful completion of the task itself and the partial knowledge of adult status.Given that learning systems develop as a response to the social and economic contexts in which they are firmly, it is understandable that modern, high urbanized (城市化) societies have concentrated almost specially on t
56、he establishment of formal education systems. What these societies have failed to recognize are the ways in which formal learning inhibits the childs multi-sensory acquisition of practical skills. The failure to provide a child with a direct education may in part account for many of the social probl
57、ems which trouble our societies.36. Formal learning and informal learning are mainly told differences by_.A. the place where they take placeB. the kind of knowledge to be obtainedC. the people who learnD. the language used in instruction37. The language used in classroom instruction explains_.A. how
58、 learning can take place efficientlyB. why it is not easy for children of working-class families to get high scoresC. why informal learning is more importantD. why formal learning does not work with children of middle-class families38. In informal learning_.A. children usually follow the examples of
59、 adults to shape their own behaviorB. childrens learning is more directC. children are highly motivated by the learning activity it selfD. all of the above39. The authors attitude towards the present state of formal learning is _. A. agreeable B. criticalC. suspecting D. indifferent (B) Humanity use
60、s a little less than half the water available world wide. Yet occurrence of shortages and droughts are causing famine and distress in some areas and industrial and agricultural by-products are polluting water supplies. Since the worlds population is expected to double in the next 50 years, many expe
61、rts think we are on the edge of a widespread water crisis. But that doesnt have to be the outcome. Water shortages do not have to trouble the world if we start valuing water more than we have in the past. Just as we began to appreciate petroleum more after the 1970s oil crises, today we must start l
62、ooking at water from a fresh economic perspective. We can no longer afford to consider water a virtually free resource of which we can use as much as we like in any way we want. Instead, for all users except the domestic demand of the poor, governments should price water to reflect its actual value.
63、 This means charging a fee for the water itself as well as for the supply costs. Governments should also protect this resource by providing water in more economically and environmentally sound ways. For example, often the cheapest way to provide irrigation water in the dry tropics is through small-s
64、cale projects, such as gathering rainfall in depressions (凹地) and pumping it to nearby cropland. No matter what steps governments take to provide water efficiently, they must change their institutional and legal approaches to water use. Rather than spread control among hundreds or even thousands of
65、local, regional, and national agencies that watch various aspects of water use, countries should set up central authorities to coordinate water policy.40. What is the real cause of the potential water crisis? A. Only half of the worlds water can be used. B. The world population is increasing faster
66、and faster. C. Half of the worlds water resources have been seriously polluted.D.Humanity has not placed sufficient value on water resources.41. As indicated in the passage, the water problem _.A. is already serious in certain parts of the worldB. has been exaggerated by some experts in the fieldC.

A. be reduced to the minimumB. stimulate domestic demandC. correspond to its real valueD. in underestimated by governme
68、nt organizations at different levels43. The author says that in some hot and dry areas it is advisable to _. A. build big lakes to store waterB. Construct big pumping stationsC. build small and cheap irrigation systemsD. channel water from nearby rivers to cropland44. In order to raise the efficienc
69、y of the water supply, measures should be taken to _.A. guarantee (保证) full protection of the environmentB. centralize the management of water resourcesC. increase the sense of responsibility of agencies at all levelsD. encourage local and regional control of water resources （C）Even before my father
70、 left us, my mother had to go back to work to support our family. Once I came out of the kitchen, complaining, Mom, I cant peel potatoes. I have only one hand.Mom never looked up from sewing.

71、 for anything again!In the second grade, our teacher lined up my class oh the playground and had each of us race across the monkey bars, swinging from one high steel rod to the next. When it was my turn, I shook my head. Some kids behind me laughed, and I went home crying.That night I told Morn abou
72、t it. She hugged me, and I saw her well see about that look. The next afternoon, she took me back to school. At the deserted playground, Mom looked carefully at the bars.Now, pull up with your fight arm, she advised. She stood by as I struggled to lift myself with my right hand until I could hook th
73、e bar with my other elbow. Day after day we practiced, and she praised me for every rung I reached. Id never forget the next time, crossing the rungs. I looked down at the kids who were standing with their mouths open.One night, after a dance at my new junior high, I lay in bed sobbing. I could hear
74、 Mom come into my room. Mom, I said, weeping, none of the girls would dance with me.For a long time, I didnt hear anything. Then she said, Oh, honey, someday youll be beating those boys off with a bat. Her voice was faint and cracking. I peeked out from my covers to see tears running down her cheeks

80、 of nerves to be highly aware of what goes on both inside and outside of it. This helps us adjust to the outside world. Without our nerves and our brain, which is a system of nerves, we couldnt know whats happening. But we pay for our sensitivity. We can feel pain when the slightest thing is wrong w
81、ith any part of our body. The history of torture(折磨) is based on the human body being open to pain. But there is a way to handle pain. Look at the Indian fakir(苦行僧) who sits on a bed of nails. Fakirs can put a needle right through an arm, and feel no pain. This ability that some humans have develope
82、d to handle pain should give us ideas about how the mind can deal with pain. The big thing in withstanding pain is our attitude toward it. If the dentist says, “This will hurt a little,” it helps us to accept the pain. By staying relaxed, and by treating the pain as an interesting sensation, we can
83、handle the pain without failing apart. After all, although pain is unpleasant sensation, it is still a sensation, and sensations are the stuff of life.50.
