9、eld responsible as never before for how well they serve students. It has become as common in colleges and universities for students to grade professors as for professors to grade students. In fact, student ratings have become the most widely used and, in many cases , the only source of information o
10、n teaching effectiveness.In comparing three studies of the same 600 fouryear colleges, it was found that the number of colleges using student rating to evaluate teachers had climbed from 29 per cent to 68 per cent. No other method of evaluation approached that degree of usage ,and other studies have
11、 found similar results. One reason that student evaluation of teachers have become so popular is that they are easy to adiminister and to score. But they also are easy to abuse. If they are to shed meaningful light on teachers performance, the rating must be used in a way that reflects at least some
12、 of what weve learnt about them from reseach and from experience. Research and experience have shown us, for example, that student ratings should never be the only basis for evaluating teaching effectiveness. There is much more to teaching than what is evaluates on student rating forms. When ratings
13、 are used, we know that students should not be expected to judge whether the materials used in a course are up to date or how well the teacher knows the subject matter of the course. These judgments require professional background and are best left to the professors colleagues. On the other hand , s
14、tudents should be asked to estimate what they have learned in a course, and to report on such things as a professors ability to communicate at the students level, professional behavior in the classroom, relationship with students, and ability to arouse interest in the subject.36.The central idea of
15、the passage is that_.A.student rating are the only source of information on teaching effectiveness.B.rating have become the most widely used source of information on teaching effectivenessC.besides student ratings, there are other methods to evaluate teachersD.student ratings are very popular and sh
16、ould be properly used37.Which statement is true?A.Student evaluations of teachers are popular because they are very accutate.B.In student ratings, students should not be asked questions that require professional background.C.Student ratings can be used under any circumstances.D.All colleges are incl
17、ined to use student ratings to evaluate teachers. 38. In student ratings all the following questions can be asked except_ .A.Can the teacher make himself easily understood?B.How does the teacher deal with students?C.Is what is taught new?D.Are students interested in what is taught?39.The sentence in
18、 the third paragraph “But they also are easy to abuse”means_ .A. teachers are easy to misunderstood .B. teachers are easy to wrongedC.student ratings can easily be put to wrong useD.student ratings can easily be made use to attack teachers40. The word “approach” in paragraph 2 means_ .A. be more tha
19、n B.come near C.equal D.better thanTask 2Are some people born clever, and others borned stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experiences? Strangely enough, the answer to both these question is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given us at birth, and no amount of spec
20、ial education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than a child who lives in a rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of a persons intelligence fixed at birth, but whether o
21、r not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment.This view now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.It is easy to show the intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to
22、be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from the population, it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand , we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligence as each other. Relations like brothers a
23、nd sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth. Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them into different environments. We might send one, for example, to a universityand the other to a factory where th
24、e work is boring. We could soon find the difference in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusions is also suggested by the fact that people who lives in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all, are likely to have
25、 similar degrees of intelligence.41.The writer is in favor of the view that mans intelligence is given to him_.A. at birth B. through education C .both at birth and through educationsD. neither at birth nor through educations.42. If a child is born with low intelligence, he can_.A. never become a ge
26、niusB. still become a genius if he should be given special educationC. Exceed his intelligence limits in rich surroundingsD. not reach his intelligence in his life43. In the second paragraph “if we take two unrelated people at random from the population.”means “if we _ .”A. pick up any two personsB.
27、choose two persons who are relativesC.take out two different personsD.choose two persons with different intelligence44.The example of the twinsgoing to a university and a factory separately shows_ .A.the importance of their intelligenceB.the role of environment on intelligenceC.the importance of the
28、ir positionsD.the part that birth plays45.The best title of this passage can be_ .A.Development on environmentB.IntelligenceC.SurroundingsD.Effect of EducationTask 3 The motor vihecle has killed and disabled more people in his brief history than any homb or weapon ever invented. Much of the blood on
29、 the street flows essentially from uncivil behavior of drivers who refuse to respect the legal and moral rights of others. So the massacre on the road may be regarded as a social problem. In fact, the enemies of society on wheels are rather harmless people just ordinary people acting carelessly, you
30、 might say. But it is a principle both of law and common morality that carelessness is no excuse when one s actions could bring death or damage to others. A minority of the killers go even beyond carelessness to total negligence.Researchers have estimated that as many as 80 of all automobile acciden
31、ts can be attributed to the psychological condition of the driver. Enotional upsets can distort drivers reactions , slow their judgment , and blind them to dangers that might otherwise be evident. The eoperts warn that it is vital for every driver to make a conscious effort to keep one s emotions un
32、der control.Yet the irresponsibility that accounts for much of the problem is not confined to drivers. Street walkers regularly violate traffic regulations , they at fault in most vehicle-walker accidents , and many cyclists even believe that they are not subject to the basic rules of the road.Signi
33、ficant legal advances have been made toward saver driving in the past few years. Safety standards for vehicle have been raised both at the opoint of manufacture and through periodic road-worthiness inspections. In addtion, speed limits have been lowered, Due to these measures, the accident rate has
34、decreased. But the accident experts still worry because there has been little or no improvement in the way drivers behave. The only real and lasting solution, say the experts, is to convince people that driving is a skilled task requiring constant care and concentration. Those who fail to do all the
35、se things present a threat to those with whom they share the road.46.The authors main purpose in writing this passage is_.A.to discuss traffic problems and propose possible solution.B.to promote understanding between street walkers and motors drivers.C.to prove that motor invention is a very dangero
36、us one.D.to warn the drives of the importance of safe drive.47.According to the passage, traffic accidents may be regarded as a social problem because _.A.civilization bring much harm to people.B. people usually pay little attention to law and morality.C.automobiles have become most destructive to m
37、ankind.D.the lack of virtue is becoming more severe.48. The author mentions the psychological condition of the drivers, in order to _. A.show some of the inaccurate estimations by researchers. B.show how important it is for drivers to be emotionally heathy. C.give an example so the various reasons f
