Scholars of the information society are divided over whether social inequality decreases or increases in an information-based society.However,they generally agree with the idea that inequallty in the informahon society is36different from that of an industrial society.AS informatization progresses in society,the cause and structural nature of social inequality changes as well.

Joy:A Subject Schools Lack

Becoming educated should not require giving up pleasure

A)When Jonathan Swift proposed,in1729,that the people of Ireland eat their

children,he insisted it would solve three problems at once:feed the hungry masses,reduce the population during a severe depression,and stimulate the restaurant business.Even as a satire(讽刺),it seems disgusting and shocking in America with its child-centered culture.But actually,the country is closer to his proposal than you might think

B)If you spend much time with educators and policy makers,you'll hear a lot of

the following words:"standards,"“results,"“skills,"“self-control,"

“accountability,"and so on.I have visited some of the newer supposedly “effective"schools,where children shout slogans in order to learn self-control or must stand behind their desk when they can't sit still

C)A IooK at what goes on in most classrooms these days makes it abundantly clear

that when people think about education,they are not thinking about what it feels like to be a child,or what makes cinldhood an important and valuable stage of life in its own right

D)I'm a mother of three,a teacher,and a developmental psychologist.So I've watched

a lot of children-talking,playing,arguing,eating,studying,and being young.

Here's what I've come to understand.The thing that sets children apart from adults is not their ignorance,nor their lack of skills.It's their enormous

巨微英语四六级基础不好找巨微

capacity for joy.Think of a3-year-old lost in the pleasures of finding out what he can and cannot sink in the bathtub,a5-year-old beside herself with the thrill of putting together strings of nonsensical words with her best friends,or an 11-year-old completely absorbed in a fascinating comic strip.A child's ability to become deeply absorbed in something,and derive intense pleasure from that absorption,is something adults spend the rest of their lives trying to return to.

E)A friend told me the following story.One day,when he went to get his7-year-old

son from soccer practice,his kid greeted him with a downcast face and a sad voice.

The coach had citicized him for not focusing on his soccer drills.The little boy walked out of the school with his head and shoulders hanging down.He seemed wrapped in sadness.But just before he reached the car door,he suddenly stopped, crouching(蹲伏)down to peer at something on the sidewalk.His face went down lower and lower,and then,wtih complete joy he called out,“https://www.doczj.com/doc/f48191552.html,e here.

This is the strangest bug I’ve ever seen.It has,like,a million legs.Look at this.It's amazing."He looked up at his father,his features overflowing with energy and delight.“Can't we stay here for just a minute?I want to find out what he does with all those legs.This is the coolest ever."

F)The traditional view of such moments is that they constitute a charming but

irrelevant byproduct of youth-something to be pushed aside to make room for more important qualities,like perseverance(坚持不懈),obligation,and practicality.

Yet moments like this one are just the Kind of intense absorption and pleasure adults spend the rest of their lives seeking,Human lives are governed by the desire to experience joy.Becoming educated should not require giving up joy but rather lead to finding joy in new kinds of things:reading novels instead of playing with small figures,conducting experiments instead of sinking cups in the bathtub,and debating serious issues rather than stringing together nonsense words,for example.In some cases,schools should help children find new,more

巨微英语四六级基础不好找巨微

grown-up ways of doing the same things that are constant sources of joy:making art,making friends,making decisions.

G)Building on a child's ability to feel joy,rather than pushing it aside,wouldn't

be that hard.It would just require a shift in the education world’s mindset (思维模式).lnstead of trying to get children to work hard,why not focus on getting them to take pleasure in meaningful,productive activity,like making things,working with others,exploring ideas,and solving problems?These focuses are not so different from the things in which they delight

H)Before you brush this argument aside as rubbish,or think of joy as an unaffordable

luxury in a nation where there is awful poverty,low academic achievement,and high dropout rates,think again.The more horrible the school circumstances,the more important pleasure is to achieving any educational success

I)Many of the assignments and rules teachers come up with,often because they are

pressured by their administrators,treat pleasure and joy as the enemies of competence and responsibility.The assumption is that children shouldn't chat in the classroom because it hinders hard work;instead,they should learn to delay gratification(快乐)so that they can pursue abstract goals,like going to college.

J)Not only is this a boring and awful way to treat children,it makes no sense educationally.Decades of research have shown that in order to acquire skills and real knowledge in school,kids need to want to learn.You can force a child to stay in his or her seat,fill out a worksheet,or practice division.But you can't force the child to think carefully,enjoy books,digest complex information, or develop a taste for learning.To make that happen,you have to help the child find pleasure ln leamang-to see school as a source of joy.

K)Adults tend to talk about learning as if it were medicine:unpleasant,but necessary and good for you.Why not instead think of leaming as if it were food-something so valuable to humans that they have evolved to experience it as

巨微英语四六级基础不好找巨微

a pleasure?

L)Joy should not be trained out of children or left for after-school programs.The more difficult a child's life circumstances,the more important it is for that child to find joy in his or her classroom.”Pleasure"is not a dirty word.And it doesn't run counter to the goals of public education.It is,in fact,the precondition.

注意:此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。

46.It will not be difficult to make leaming a source of joy if educators change their way of thinking

47.What distinguishes children from adults is their strong ability to derive joy from what they are doing

48.Children in America are being treated with shocking cruelty

49.It is human nature to seek joy in life.

50.Grown-ups are likely to think that learning to children is what medicine is to patients

51.Bad school conditions make at all the more important to turn learning into a joyfiul experience.

52.Adults do not consider children's feelings when it comes to education

53.Administrators seem to believe that only hard work will lead children to their educational goals.

54.In the so-called“effective"schools,children are taught self-control under

a set of strict rules

55.To make learning effective,educators have to ensure that children want to learn. Section C

Directions:There are2passages in this section.Each passage is folLowed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices

marked A),B),C)and D).You should decide on the best choice and mark

the corresponding letter On Answer Sheet2with a single line through the

巨微英语四六级基础不好找巨微

centre.

Passage One

Questions56to60are based on the following passage.

When it's five o'clock,people leave their office.The length of the workday, for many workers is defined by time.They leave when the clock tells them they're done.

These days,the time is everywhere:not just on clocks or watches,but on cell-phones and computers.That may be a bad thing,particularly at work.New research shows that clock-based work schedules hinder morale(士气)and creativiyty.

Clock-timers organize their day by blocks of minutes and hours.For example:a meeting from9a.m.to10a.m.,research fom10a.m.to noon.etc.On the other hand, task-timers have a list of things they want to accomplish.They work down the list, each task starts when the previous task is completed.It is said that all of us employ a mix of both these types of planning.

What,then,are the effects of thinking about time in these different ways?Does one make us more productive?Better at the tasks at hand?Happier?In experiments conducted by Tamar Avnet and Anne-Laure Sellier,they had participants organize different activities-from project planning,holiday shopping,to yoga-by time or to-do list to measure how they performed under"clock time"vs“task time."They found clock timers to be more efficient but less happy because they felt little control over their lives.Task timers are happier and more creative,but less productive.They tend to enjoy the moment when something good is happening,and seize opportunities that come up.

The researchers argue that task-based organizing tends to be undervalued and under-supported in the business culture.Smart companies,they believe,will try to bake more task-based planning into their strategies.

This might be a small change to the way we view work and the office,but the researchers argue that it challenges a widespread characteristic of the economy:

巨微英语四六级基础不好找巨微

work organized by clock time.While most people will still probably need,and be, to some extent,clock-timers,task-based timing should be used when performing a job that requires more creativity.It'll make those tasks easier,and the task-doers will be happier.

56.What does the author think of time displayed everywhere?

A)It makes everybody time-conscious

B)It is a convenience for work and life

C)It may have a negative effect on creative work

D)It clearly indicates the fast pace of modem life

57.How do people usually go about their work according to the author?

A)They combine clock-based and task-based planning

B)They give priority to the most urgent task on hand

C)They set a time limit for each specific task

D)They accomplish their tasks one by one

58.What did Tamar Avnet and Anne-Laure Sellier find in their experiments about clock-timers?

A)They seize opportunities as they come up

B)They always get their work done in time

C)They have more control over their lives

D)They tend to be more productive

59.What do the researchers say about today's business culture?

A)It does not support the strategies adopted by smart companies

B)It does not attach enough importance to task-based practice

C)It places more emphasis on work efficiency than on workers'lives

D)It aims to bring employees'potential and creativily into full play

60.What do the researchers suggest?

A)Task-based timing is preferred for doing creative work

巨微英语四六级基础不好找巨微

B)It is important to keep a balance between work and life.

C)Performing creative jobs tends to make workers happier

D)A scientific standard should be adopted in job evaluation

Passage Two

Questions61to65are based on the following passage.

Martha Stewart was charged,tried and convicted of a crime in2004.As she neared the end of her prison sentence,a well-kown columnist wrote that she was“paying her dues,"and that“there is simply no reason for anyone to attempt to deny her right to start anew."

Surely,the American ideal of second chances should not be reserved only for the rich and powerftul.Unfortunately,many federal and state laws impose post-conviction restrictions on a shockingly large number of Americans,who are prevented from ever fully paying their debt to society.

At least65million people in the United States have a criminal record.This can result in severe penalties that continue long after punishment is completed.

Many of these penalties are imposed regardless of the seriousness of the offense or the person's individual cirumstances Laws can restrict or ban voting,access to public housing,and profes-sional and business licensing.They can affect a person's ability to get a job and qualification for benefits.

In all,more than45,000laws and rules serve to exclude vast numbers of people from fully participating in American life.

Some laws make sense.No one advocates letting someone convicted of pedophilia (恋童癖)work in a school.But too often collateral(附随的)consequences bear no relation to public safety.Should a woman who possessed a small amount of drugs years ago be permanently unable to be licensed as a nurse?

These laws are also counterproductive,since they make it harder for people with criminal records to find housing or land a job,two key factors that reduce backsliding.

巨微英语四六级基础不好找巨微

A recent report makes several recommendations,including the abolition of most postconviction penalties,except for those specifically needed to protect public safety.Where the penalties are not a must,they should be imposed only if the facts of a case support it.

The point is not to excuse or forget the crime.Rather,it is to recognize that in America's vast criminal justice system,second chances are crucial.It is in no one's interest to keep a large segment of the population on the margins of society.注意:此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。

61.What does the well-known columnist's remark about Martha Stewart suggest?

A)Her past record might stand in her way to a new life.

B)Her business went bankrupt while she was in prison

C)Her release from prison has drawn little attention.

D)Her prison sentence might have been extended.

62.What do we learn from the second paragraph about many criminals in Amenca?

A)They backslide after serving their terms in prison.

B)They are deprived of chances to turn over a new leaf

C)They receive severe penalties for commatting minor offenses

D)They are convicted regardless of their individual circumstances

63.What are the consequences for many Americans with a criminal record?

A)They remain poor for the rest of their lives

B)They are deprived of all social benefits

C)They are marginalized in society

D)They are deserted by their family

64.What does the author thank of the post-conviction laws and rules?

A)They help to maintain social stability

B)Some of them have long been outdated

C)They are hardly understood by tbe public

D)A lot of them have negative effects on society

As a manager, Tiffany is responsible for interviewing applicants for some of the positions with her company .During one interview, she noticed that the candidate never made direct eye contact. She was puzzled and somewhat disappointed because she liked the individual otherwise. He had a perfect resume and gave good responses to her questions, but the fact that he never looked her in the eye said “untrustworthy,” so she decided to offer the job to her second choice. “It wasn’t until I attended a diversity workshop that I realized the person we passed over was the perfect person,” Tiffany confesses. What she hadn’t known at the time of the interview was that the candidate’s “different” behavior was simply a cultural misunderstanding . He was an Asian-American raised in a household where respect for those in authority was shown by averting(避开) your eyes. “I was just thrown off by the lack of ye contact; not realizing it was cultural,” Tiffany says. “I missed out ,but will not miss that opportunity again.” Many of us have had similar encounters with behaviors we perceive as different. As the world becomes smaller and our workplaces more diverse, it is becoming essential to expand our under-standing of others and to reexamine some of our false assumptions . Hire Advantage At a time when hiring qualified people is becoming more difficult ,employers who can eliminate invalid biases(偏爱) from the process have a distinct advantage .My company, Mindsets LLC ,helps organizations and individuals see their own blind spots . A real estate recruiter we worked with illustrates the positive difference such training can make .

Calculate for a moment what could be done with even a part of those hours. Five thousand hours, I am told, are what a typical college undergraduate spends working on a bachelor's degree. In 10,000 hours you could have learned enough to become an astronomer or engineer. You could have learned several languages fluently. If it appealed to you, you could be reading Homer in the original Greek or Dostoyevsky in Russian. If it didn't, you could have walked around the world and written a book about it. The trouble with television is that it discourages concentration. Almost anything interesting and rewarding in life requires some constructive, consistently applied effort. The dullest, the least gifted of us can achieve things that seem miraculous to those who never concentrate on anything. But Television encourages us to apply no effort. It sells us instant gratification(满意). It diverts us only to divert, to make the time pass without pain. Television's variety becomes a narcotic(麻醉的), nor a stimulus. Its serial, kaleidoscopic (万花筒般的)exposures force us to follow its lead. The viewer is on a perpetual guided tour: 30 minutes at the museum, 30 at the cathedral, 30 for a drink, then back on the bus to the next attraction—except on television., typically, the spans allotted arc on the order of minutes or seconds, and the chosen delights are more often car crashes and people killing one another. In short, a lot of television usurps(篡夺;侵占) one of the most precious of all human gifts, the ability to focus your attention yourself, rather than just passively surrender it. Capturing your attention—and holding it—is the prime motive of most television programming and enhances its role as a profitable advertising vehicle. Programmers live in constant fear of losing anyone's attention—anyone's. The surest way to avoid doing so is to keep everything brief, not to strain the attention of anyone but instead to provide constant stimulation through variety, novelty, action and movement. Quite

Colleges taking another look at value of merit-based aid Good grades and high tests scores still matter—a lot—to many colleges as they award financial aid. But with low-income students projected to make up an ever-larger share of the college-bound population in coming years, some schools are re-examining whether that aid, typically known as “merit aid”, is the most effective use of precious institutional dollars. George Washington University in Washington, D.C., for example, said last week that it would cut the value of its average merit scholarships by about one-third and reduce the number of recipients(接受者), pouring the savings, about $2.5 million, into need-based aid. Allegheny College in Meadville, Pa., made a similar decision three years ago. Now, Hamilton College in Clinton, N.Y., says it will phase out merit scholarships altogether. No current merit-aid recipients will lose their scholarships, but need-based aid alone will be awarded beginning with students entering in fall 2008. Not all colleges offer merit aid; generally, the more selective a school, the less likely it is to do so. Harvard and Princeton, for example, offer generous need-based packages, but many families who don’t meet need eligibility(资格)have been willing to pay whatever they must for a big-name school. For small regional colleges that struggle just to fill seats, merit aid can be an important revenue-builder because many recipients still pay enough tuition dollars over and above the scholarship amount to keep the institution running. But for rankings-conscious schools in between, merit aid has served primarily as a tool to recruit top students and to improve their academic profits. “They’re trying to buy students,”says Skidmore College economist Sandy Baum. Studies show merit aid also tends to benefit disproportionately students who could afford to enroll without it. “As we look to the future, we see a more pressing need to invest in need-based aid,”says Monica Inzer, dean of admission and financial aid at Hamilton, which has offered merit scholarships for 10 years. During that time, it rose in US News & World Repor t’s ranking of the best liberal arts colleges, from 25 to 17. Merit aid, which benefited about 75 students a year, or about 4% of its student body, at a cost of about $ 1 million a year, “served us well,”Inzer says, but “to be
