2 . 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Ever since I came to work in my present company five years ago, I have heard about a small restaurant nearby called Love Dad. Everybody believes that it is owned by somebody’s loving dad. The restaurant does give the diners a sense of home. The furnishings are homely, with dining areas looking like family dining rooms. Best of all, they have hand-drawn cards, which diners can take away with them when checking out. The restaurant doesn’t have a menu. You never know what will be served until you come to its door with a “served today” notice hanging to it.

Whenever I pass by, I just can’t help entering to enjoy the homely atmosphere. It’s a reminder of my own home and my dad, who will prepare a great dinner for the family every day. Dad is a manager in a construction company and a great cook at home and not only a great cook. He is the kind of hero-like father at home, who can fix everything in the home and deal with all problems. As my parents live in another city, this small homely restaurant is where I choose to go to comfort my homesickness.

Curiosity about whose dad the owner of the restaurant is has always been there among my workmates who are its regular customers but it seems that nobody has a clue. It doesn’t matter much as all of them can get a taste of home there.

Last month, when I was home for the Christmas break, my parents talked to me about their plan for retirement and I mentioned the restaurant Love Dad to them. We all thought it would be great if Mom and Dad could join the restaurant in some way. They asked me about the exact location of it and decided to deal with the matter themselves.

8 . The Robbers Cave Experiment was part of a series of studies conducted by social psychologist Muzafer Sherif and his workmates in the 1940s and 1950s. The researchers divided boys at a summer camp into two groups, and they studied how conflict developed between them. They also investigated what did and didn’t work to reduce group conflict. The boys were left in the dark about the experiment.

In the 1954 study, boys who were approximately 11~12 years old thought that they were participating in a typical summer camp, which took place at Robbers Cave State Park. However, the campers’ parents knew that their children were actually participating in a research study.

The boys arrived at the camp in two separate groups: for the first part of the study, they spent time with members of their own group, without knowing that the other group existed. The groups chose names, the Eagles and the Rattlers.

After a short period of time, the boys became aware of the existence of the other group and began to speak negatively about the other group. Then the researchers arranged a competitive tournament between the groups, consisting of games such as baseball and tug-of-war and the relationship between the two groups quickly became tense. The campers rated their own group more positively than the rival (对立) group.

To determine the factors that could reduce group conflict, the researchers first brought the campers together for fun activities such as having a meal or watching a movie together. However, this didn’t work to reduce conflict.

Next, Sherif and his workmates tried having the two groups work on common goals. For example, the camp’s water supply was cut off purposely by the researchers, and the Eagles and the Rattlers worked together to fix the problem. Working on shared goals eventually reduced conflict and friendships began to form with members of the other group. In the end, some of the campers requested that everyone from both groups take the bus home together, and one group bought drinks for the other group.

2. What is the beginning of the boys’ negative attitude to the other group?

C．Competing in a tournament against the other group.

D．Becoming aware of the existence of the other group.

3. Why was the camp’s water supply cut off?

A．To cause a conflict between the two groups.

B．To test the campers’ problem-solving ability.

4. What can be a conclusion from Sherif’s experiment?

A．Fights between different groups are unavoidable.

B．One should seek friendship with outgroup members.

C．Fun activities are the best ways to reduce group conflict.

9 . As a doctoral student, I served as a hostess for famous authors and illustrators when they came to participate in the Ohio State University Children’s Literature Conference. I hosted such beloved creators of children’s books as Nikki Grimes, Jerry Pinkney and James Ransome. I would stand at the airport, holding one of their books and waiting to pick them up and then drive them around town to places they needed to go and assist them during autograph sessions. After graduating from my university and accepting a position at Clemson University in 2003, I kept in touch with James Ransome.

In 2005 I received a grant from the government to conduct a family-literacy program. I wanted to see what would happen when I exposed ten African American families with children to books by and about African Americans. I provided each of the families with copies of seven books, five of which were illustrated by James.

The families participated in a series of five monthly workshops, and the final event was a presentation by James and an autograph session with him. I believed this event would be a meaningful way to end the program, by having a famous illustrator of children’s literature come and talk about his work, especially because the families and I had read and responded to several of his books over the course of the five workshops.

James’s visit was informative and enlightening for the families. A parent, Ashley, told me that she sent a note to her son’s teacher about having participated in the program and loaned her son’s autographed copies of James’s books for the class to read. Looking back over my career, this family-literacy program is one of the accomplishments of which I am the proudest, and I am especially pleased that James was part of it.

2. What can be learned about James?

A．He ran monthly workshops.	B．He is an African American.
C．He has written seven books.	D．He graduated from Clemson University.

3. What did James do for the family-literacy program?

A．He gave a talk to the families.

B．He loaned his books to the families.

C．He responded to the questions raised by the families.

D．He asked the government to give financial support to the families.

4. What is Ashley’s attitude towards James?

A．Doubtful.

B．Caring.

C．Tolerant.

D．Appreciative.

10 . Many significant international projects have considered how schooling might change to better match the changes that have taken place in the 21st century.     1     One is a shift in the meaning of knowledge, and the other is the need to build education systems based around what we now know about learning.

The term “knowledge age” or “knowledge economy” refers to a reorganization away from an Industrial Age economy, where exploitation (开采) of natural resources, primary production and mass production were the standard models for economic development.     2     This is achieved through the rapid creation of new knowledge and has become the basis for economic development. It is argued that education for the knowledge age must focus on the development of learners’ competences to deal with new situations and environments.

    3     Nor does it deny the need for obvious goals for students’ knowledge development. Rather, the future-focused education literature suggests we need to adopt a much more complex view of knowledge, one that incorporates knowing, doing and being. Alongside this we need to rethink our ideas about how our learning systems are organized, resourced and supported. Research clearly shows that people do not learn well as passive recipients (接受者) of pre-packaged, bite-sized pieces of knowledge.     4    

Although some of these principles are understood by many teachers, our education systems and practices are often set up in ways that do not support these principles to operate in practice. Teachers and school leaders are attempting paradigm (范式) shifts.     5    

A．There needs to be wider public support for them.

B．There are two important ideas that support this work.

C．This does not mean that knowledge no longer matters.

D．Good learning requires active engagement in the “whole game”.

E．We are required to prepare young people for the knowledge age.

F．This is possible only when active learning approaches are applied.

G．In the knowledge age, the ability to generate value is put in the first place.
