In a series of four experiments, behavioral scientists at the University of Chicago and the Wisconsin School of Business tested students' willingness to 4 themselves to unpleasant stimuli in an effort to satisfy curiosity.

Twenty-seven students were told which pens were electrified;another twenty-seven were told only that some were electrified 7 left alone in the room, the students who did not know which ones would shock them clicked more pens and incurred more shocks than the students who knew what would 8 .Subsequent experiments reproduced this effect with other stimuli, 9 the sound of fingernails on a chalkboard and photographs of disgusting insects.

Section Ⅱ Reading Comprehension

Part A

Directions:

Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. （40 points）

Text 1

It is curious that Stephen Koziatek feels almost as though he has to justify his efforts to give his students a better future.

Mr.Koziatek is part of something pioneering. He is a teacher at a New Hampshire high school where learning is not something of books and tests and mechanical memorization, but practical. When did it become accepted wisdom that students should be able to name the 13th president of the United States but be utterly overwhelmed by a broken bike chain?

As Koziatek knows,there is learning in just about everything. Nothing is necessarily gained by forcing students to learn geometry at a graffitied desk stuck with generations of discarded chewing gum. They can also learn geometry by assembling a bicycle.

But he’s also found a kind of insidious prejudice. Working with your hands is seen as almost a mark of inferiority.Schools in the family of vocational education “have that stereotype..that it’s for kids who can’t make it academically,”he says.

On one hand,that viewpoint is a logical product of America’s evolution.Manufacturing is not the economic engine that it once was.The job security that the US economy once offered to high school graduates has largely evaporated.More education is the new principle.We want more for our kids,and rigitfully so.

But the headlong push into bachelor’s degrees for all -and the subtle devaluing of anything less-misses an important point:That’s not the only thing the American economy neds.Yes,a bachelor’s degree opens more doors.But even now,54 percent of the jobs in the country are middle-skill jobs,such as  construction and high-skill manufacturing.But only 44 percent of workers are adequately trained.

In other words,at a time when the working class has turned the country on its political head,frustrated that the opportunity that once defined America is vanishing,one obvious solution is staring us in the face.There is a gap in working-class jobs,but the workers who need those jobs most aren’t equipped to do them.Koziatek’s Manchester School of Technology High School is trying to fill that  gap.

Koziatek’s school is a wake-up call.When  education becomes one-size-fits-all,it risks overlooking a nation’s diversiy of gifts.

21.【題幹】A brokan bike chain is mentioned to show students’ lack of______.

A.mechanical memorization

B.academic training

C.practical ability

D.pioneering spirit

22.【題幹】There existsthe prejudice that vocational education is for kids who______.

A.are financially disadvantaged

B.are not academically successful

C.have a stereotyped mind

D.have no career motivation

23.【題幹】We can infer from Paragraph 5 that high school graduates______.

A.are entitled to more “ducational privileges

B.are reluctant to work in manufacturing

C.used to have more job opportunities

D.used to have big financial concerns

24.【題幹】The headlong push into bacheloi’s degrees for all_____.

A.helps create a lot of middle-skill jobs

B.may narrow the gap in working-class jobs

C.is expected to yield a better-trained workforce

D.indicates the overvaluing of higher education

25.【題幹】The author’s attitude toward Koziatek’s school can be described as_____.

A.supportive

B.disappointed

C.tolerant

D.cautious

21. 【答案】C practical ability

【解析】這是一道細節題，根據題幹關鍵詞可定位至第二段最後一句話,意思是”什麼時候這種觀點變得可接受了呢？學生應該能夠說出美國第十三任總統的名字，但是卻完全對壞了的自行車鏈束手無策”。從作者使用問句的形式就可判斷出作者並不接受這種觀點，即學生隻學會書本上的知識而不具備實際能力。再結合上一句話即本段第二句話，Mr Koziatek是New Hampshire高中的一名老師，在這所學校，學習不隻是書本上的知識，或者是為了考試，也不是為了機械化的記憶，而是為了實際的技能。能看出，作者認為學生們缺少的是實際技能，所以答案是C practical ability.

22. 【答案】 B are not academically successful

【解析】這是一道具體細節題，根據題幹關鍵詞職業教育對孩子存在的偏見可定位至第四段最後一句，意思是“在很多職業化教育的學校中，有這樣一種老套的思想，那就是，職業教育是針對那些在學術上不能成功的那些孩子的。”根據這句話可確定答案就是B are not academically successful 。其他選項均不符合文意。

23．【答案】C used to have more job opportunities

【解析】這是一道細節推斷題，根據題幹第五段和high school graduates 回到原文定位致第五段第三句，說到美國經濟曾經提供給高中畢業生的那種the job security已經在很大程度上evaporated也就是消失了，那說明過去的時候高中畢業生是有職業安全感的，故選C，其他選項都不在定位處，可以排除。
    24.【答案】D indicate the overvaluing of higher education
    【解析】這是一道事實細節題，根據題幹內容“the headlong push”找到出處是第六段開頭But後，發現後麵還有一個and...和其並列，所以主要關注對這兩部分的評價，後麵有明顯的標點：冒號出現，冒號後說that is not the only thing the American economy needs. 可以看出這句話對前麵的否定，選項中隻有D選項動詞overvalue是負麵詞，而且提到主題詞education。故選D。這道題最適合用感情色彩來排除與D相反的其他三個選項。
    25.【答案】A supportive
    【解析】這是一道態度題，放在最末的態度題更傾向於到最後一段找答案。通過定位詞Koziatek’s school 看到最後一段也確實提到了，說它是一個wake-up call。也就是在喚醒人們教育不應該是統一的形式，這樣會overlooking a nation’s diversity of gifts，也就是忽視人才的差異性。所以可以看出作者是支持的態度。
