[填空题]Samuel:
The criticism that what students learn today is not fit for modern society is completely wrong because education can never be judged only from the point of view of how useful the subjects are when students leave school. We ought to evaluate education in terms of how much the students enjoy those subjects and how much they mean to those students. Rather than being trained to be practical, students should be encouraged to do things for their own sake, and study what they are interested in.
Matthew:
Many people give out proposals of how to improve education and some suggest raising the salaries of teachers mid professors. Of course ,this is significant to education. However, increasing the salary of teachers is just one method to improve education. It won’t be effective without the cooperation of the other important factors, such as students’ love of knowledge and reading. Even if the teachers are devoted, it will make no sense if the students are n

[填空题]Tests can motivate students to learn.

[单项选择]Students can learn mathematics only by exploring it on their own, with generous room for trial and error. For what matters in the long run is not acquiring particular computational skills (since without constant use skills rapidly fade), but knowing how to find and use suitable mathematical tools whenever they become necessary.
If the position expressed above is correct, then each of the following can be true EXCEPT:
A. Mathematics teachers are often afraid that someone will ask a question that they cannot answer, and this insecurity frequently leads to authoritarianism in the classroom.
B. Prospective teachers should themselves learn mathematics as a process of constructing and interpreting patterns, of devising strategies for solving problems, and of discovering the beauties and applications of mathematics.
C. Political leaders must accept responsibility for coordinating a nationwide plan for all levels of instruction if mathematics education is to improve.
D. The most effective method for teaching students mathematics is for teachers to state the definitive rule for solving exercises of a given type and then to insist on rote practice in its proper application.
E. (E) Most current teaching presents mathematics as established doctrine, stressing the production of right answers rather than the ability to communicate reasons.

[单项选择] There is no denying that students should learn something about how computers work, just as we expect them at least to understand that the internal-combustion engine (内燃机) has something to do with burning fuel, expanding gases and pistons (活塞) being driven. For people should have some basic idea of how the things that they use do what they do. Further, students might be helped by a course that considers the computer’’s impact on society. But that is not what is meant by computer literacy. For computer literacy is not a form of literacy (读写能力); it is a trade skill that should not be taught as a liberal art. Learning how to use a computer and learning how to program one are two distinct activities. A case might be made that the competent citizens of tomorrow should free themselves from their fear of computers. But this is quite different form saying that all ought to know how to program one. Leave that to people who have chosen programming as a career. While programming can be lo
A. a set of rules
B. the fundamentals of computer science
C. specific programs
D. general principles of programming
