4、is forever thundering,boiling,crashing,and whistling. It is easy to imagine the Atlantic trying to draw breath—perhaps not so noticeably out in mid-ocean,but where it meets land,its waters bathing up and down a sandy beach.It mimics(模仿)nearly perfectly the steady breathing of a living creature.It i

5、s filled with symbiotic existences,too:unimaginable quantities of creatures,little and large alike,mix within its depths in a kind of oceanic harmony,giving to the waters a feeling of heartbeat,a kind of sub-ocean vitality.And it has a psychology.It has personalities: sometimes peaceful and pleasant

29、ool year an examination was held，in order to select the children for the classes of next year.However，the results of the exam were never made known.In secret，based on their performance in the exam，the higher－performing and lower－performing children were divided equally between the two classes.Only t

30、he headmaster and the psychologists knew the truth.Teachers for the next year were carefully selected for equal ability and experience.Even the classrooms were chosen with similar facilities (設(shè)備)．Everything was made as equal as possible，except for one thing：one was called “Class A”，the other，“Class

31、B”． In everyone's minds the children in Class A were the clever ones，and the kids in Class B were not so clever.Some of the parents of the Class A children were pleasantly surprised that their children had done so well and rewarded them with presents and praise，while the parents of some of the Clas

32、s B kids complained that their children did not work hard enough and took away some of their rewards.Even the teachers taught the Class B kids in a different manner，not expecting so much from them.For a whole year the illusion existed.Then there was another end－of－year exam. The results were not su

33、rprising.The children of Class A performed so much better than those of Class B．In fact，the results were just as if they had been the top half chosen from last year's exam.They had become “Class A” children.And those in the other group，though equal the year before，had now become “Class B” kids.That

34、was what they were told for a whole year，that was how they were treated，and that was what they believed—so that was what they became. 【解題導(dǎo)語】　本文是說明文。文章介紹了一個令人深思的教育實驗。 1．According to the text，it is a fact that ________． A．the Class A kids worked harder B．the Class A kids had better facilities C．k

35、ids in the two classes had equal ability D．teachers of Class A were more experienced 答案　C　[細節(jié)理解題。由第一段的Everything was made as equal as possible，except...及第三段的And those in the other group，though equal the year before可知，兩個班的學(xué)生資質(zhì)相當(dāng)而且學(xué)習(xí)條件相同。] 2．The underlined word “illusion” in Paragraph 2 is closest

36、in meaning to“________”． A．reward system B．false impression C．teaching plan D．old tradition 答案　B　[詞義猜測題。由該詞所在段落的內(nèi)容——盡管兩個班的孩子無區(qū)別，但由于班級冠名不同而導(dǎo)致了家長、老師的錯誤印象和分別心可知，illusion指“錯覺”。] 3．Why didn't the Class B kids perform well in the second exam? A．Because they didn't work hard. B．Because they had los

37、t self－confidence. C．Because their teachers were irresponsible. D．Because what they learned was too difficult. 答案　B　[推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章末句That was what they...what they became可知，B班的學(xué)生被認為比較差，最后他們失去了自信，也就真的差了。] 4．The experiment proved the importance of ________． A．great ambitions B．natural talents C．strong determination D．outside influence 答案　D　[推理判斷題。本文介紹了一個教學(xué)實驗：成績相同的兩個班由于分別接受積極的和消極的外部影響，一年以后兩個班的成績出現(xiàn)明顯差距。因此這項實驗證明了外部影響的重要性。]
