Many folks take this as an apparent truth. But I think it demands closer examination.Possessing a skill or piece of knowledge is not the same thing as being able to show it. This is why many smart young people hate school. Understanding，figuring out，and getting a handle on a piece of knowledge is really exciting，but having to prove to somebody else that you understand is a pain in the neck.Finding proof of student learning is a huge part of the teachers job，and whether it is done poorly or not makes all the difference in that teachers effectiveness. There is a huge difference between“how do I figure out if this student understands”and“how do I make this student prove to me he gets it”.The first is a valuable approach；the second is the first step on the road toward wasting everybodys time.And theres the problem. If we start with the assumption that a student who knows must be able to show his knowledge to our satisfaction，we will be traveling down the wrong road. The more we demand that students prove to us that they know the stuff，the more we will design artificial tasks that demand a set of skills and knowledge entirely different from those we really want to measure.As a classroom teacher，I have to remember that the burden（重担）is on me to find a way to see what my students know；the burden is not on them to put on whatever trained monkey show.It may not be the worst thing ever to say，“Students should be able to show what they know.”But I think its far more useful to say，“Teachers should be able to discover what students know.”1、What does the underlined phrase in the second paragraph mean？AVery dangerous.BVery annoying.CVery surprising.DVery frequent.2、According to the third paragraph，a teacher should have the ability to_.Adiscover whether his students have understoodBavoid wasting the precious time in classCapply various approaches while teachingDgive students the chance to prove themselves3、What does the author think of the artificial tasks designed to test student learning？AThey should be limited in number.BThey are a huge burden on teachers.CThey should mainly focus on effectiveness.DThey slide away from the original purpose.4、What is the main idea of the passage？AStudents should be able to show what they know.BThere are many ways to find proof of student learning.CTeachers should be able to discover what students know.DThere should be better understanding between teachers and students.23（8分） Have you ever thought that your life will be perfect if something in your outside world changes? You may say, “I will live happily if I find my soul mate.” You may say, “If the perfect job comes along, I will get satisfaction. My problem is that my boss is stupid.” Or you may say, “If I have a child, I will know what it is like to be loved.” The problem is that it is not the outside world that prevents you from experiencing peace, love and joy. Instead, it is your own internal (内部的) patterns that get in your way.To prove this point, at my weekend programs, I had my students look at a flower on my table. Then I asked them to share their experiences. Some showed a state of complete joy because staring at the flower reminded them of their wedding or a great trip with their lovers. Others said the flower made them angry because it reminded them of a gift given by a former partner who turned against them. Some students even told me that the flower reminded them of their beloved grandmothers gardens with some shedding tears (流泪)of joy and others shedding tears of sadness. However, the flower was still just a flower.Our internal patterns decide whether each moment is filled with peace, anger, joy, love or sadness. When you dont realize that it is your own internal state that is creating your experience, you are likely to blame (责备)the external situations in your life. Most people arent taught that emotion is a choice. And they arent taught how to change those lower emotional patterns such as anger, anxiety, sadness and so on. Next time, when you meet something bad, please look at your internal state. When you accept that you are responsible for your own state, and find the courage to turn inward, you can step out of being a slave to what shows up in your external world.1、Why does the author mention the examples in Paragraph 1 ?ATo lead to the topic of this passage.BTo complain about imperfect life.CTo show common problems in life.DTo encourage people to change the outside world.2、How does the author prove his opinion?ABy giving examples.BBy doing an experiment.CBy telling a related story.DBy comparing other peoples opinions.3、What does the author advise us to do in the last paragraph?ATo step out of negative emotions.BTo pay attention to our internal world.CTo share our real emotions with others.DTo use different methods to change bad emotions.4、What does the author want to express through the passage?AOur external world matters a lot.BOur emotions can affect our health.COur internal patterns truly decide our emotions.DOur experiences have a great influence on our emotions.24（8分）Adult Education CoursesComputer StudiesTechnology is advancing at a rapid pace, and we rely more and more on computers for everything from cooking to organising our taxes.

The 67-year-old author of Voices From Chernobyl and Wars Unwomanly Face was praised by the Swedish Academy “for her polyphonic(复调式的) writings, a monument to suffering and courage in our time.”Prizes like the Nobel inspire much expectations before the announcement. People give their best guesses as to who will win, look back on past winners, and even place bets as if spectators at a Derby(赛马会).Literary prizes reward artistic brilliance. They help writers earn a decent living. But is the publics fascination with prize-winning authors healthy? Our impulse seems to increasingly contribute to a culture of turning authors into celebrities, where readers follow the author instead of the book.A story should stand on its own, as a considered, complete book, without biographical information from author. Its an idea perhaps best conveyed in Roland Barthess 1968 essay The Death of the Author. “The image of literature to be found in contemporary culture is arbitrarily centered on the author, his person, his history, his tastes, his passions.”Nearly 50 years later, a few still agree. “I believe that books, once they are written, have no need of their authors,” New York Times bestselling author Elena Ferrante once wrote. “If books have something to say, they will sooner or later find readers; if not, they wont,”she continued. “True miracles are the ones whose makers will never be known.”But the rules for submission for the Man Booker International Prize, for example, strongly encourage authors to “make th
