17、sive 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 (定义 ) provide the basic difference between the two models of learning. Formal learning is separated from daily life and may actually promote ways
18、of learning and thinking which often run counter to those obtained form practical daily life. A characteristic feature of formal learning is the centrality of activities which can prepare for the changes of adult life outside the classroom, but it cannot, by its nature, consist of these challenges.
19、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 used by middle-class families than that used by working-class families. Middle class children thus find it easier to gain the language of the cla
20、ssroom than their working-class classmates. Informal learning, in contrast, occurs in the setting to which it relates, making learning immediately relevant (相关的 ). In this context, language does not occupy such an important role: the childs experience of learning is more direct, involving sight, tou
21、ch, taste, and smell senses that are not used in the classroom. Whereas formal learning is transmitted by teachers selected to perform this role, informal learning is gained as a natural part of childs socialization. Adults or older children who are proficient(熟练的 ) in skill or activity provide - so
22、metimes 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. The motivation of learner provides another important difference between the two models of learning. The formal learner is generally motiva
23、ted 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 successful completion of the task itself and the partial knowledge of adult status. Given that learning systems develop as a response to
24、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 the establishment of formal education systems. What these societies have failed to recognize are the ways in which formal learning inhib
25、its 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 problems which trouble our societies. 36. Formal learning and informal learning are mainly told differences by_. A. the place where they tak
26、e place B. the kind of knowledge to be obtained C. the people who learn D. the language used in instruction 37. The language used in classroom instruction explains_. A. how learning can take place efficiently B. why it is not easy for children of working-class families to get high scores C. why info
27、rmal learning is more important D. why formal learning does not work with children of middle-class families 38. In informal learning_. A. children usually follow the examples of adults to shape their own behavior B. childrens learning is more direct C. children are highly motivated by the learning a
28、ctivity it self D. all of the above 39. The authors attitude towards the present state of formal learning is _. A. agreeable B. critical C. suspecting D. indifferent (B) Humanity uses a little less than half the water available world wide. Yet occurrence of shortages and droughts are causing famine
29、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 experts think we are on the edge of a widespread water crisis. But that doesnt have to be the outcome. Water shortages do
30、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 looking at water from a fresh economic perspective. We can no longer afford to consider water a virtually free resource
31、 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. This means charging a fee for the water itself as well as for the supply costs. Governments should also protect this
32、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-scale projects, such as gathering rainfall in depressions(凹地 ) and pumping it to nearby cropland. No matter what steps
33、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 local, regional, and national agencies that watch various aspects of water use, countries should set up central author
34、ities 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 and faster. C. Half of the worlds water resources have been seriously polluted. D. Humanity has not placed sufficient
35、 value on water resources. 41. As indicated in the passage, the water problem _. A. is already serious in certain parts of the world B. has been exaggerated by some experts in the field C. posed a challenge to the technology of building reservoirs D. is underestimated by government organizations at
36、different levels 42. According to the author, the water price should _. A. be reduced to the minimum B. stimulate domestic demand C. correspond to its real value D. in underestimated by government organizations at different levels 43. The author says that in some hot and dry areas it is advisable to
37、 _. A. build big lakes to store water B. Construct big pumping stations C. build small and cheap irrigation systems D. channel water from nearby rivers to cropland 44. In order to raise the efficiency of the water supply, measures should be taken to _. A. guarantee (保证 ) full protection of the envir
38、onment B. centralize the management of water resources C. increase the sense of responsibility of agencies at all levels D. encourage local and regional control of water resources （C） Even before my father left us, my mother had to go back to work to support our family.

That night I told Morn about it. She hugged me, and I saw her “well see about that“ look. The next afternoon, she
41、 took me back to school. At the deserted playground, Mom looked carefully at the bars. “Now, pull up with your fight arm,“ she advised.

49、th 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 couldn t know what s happening. But we pay for our sensitivity. We can feel pain when the slightest thing is wrong with any part of our body. The history of torture(折磨 ) is based on the human body b
