Student participation in the classroom is not only accepted but also expected by the students in many courses.Some professors base part of the final grades on the students’ oral participation.Although there are formal lectures during which the student has a passive role (i.e.listening and taking notes)，many courses are organized around classroom discussions，student questions，and informal lectures.In graduate discussions the professor had a “manager” role and the students make presentations and lead discussions.The students do the actual teaching in these discussions.
A professor’s teaching method is another factor that determines the degree and type of student participation.Some professors prefer to control discussions while others prefer to guide the class without controlling it.Many professors encourage students to question their ideas.Students who object to the professor’s point of view should be prepared to prove their positions.
In the teaching of science and mathematics，the controlling mode of instruction is generally traditional，with teachers presenting formal lectures and students taking notes.However，new educational trends have turned up in the humanities and social sciences in the past twenty years.Students in education，society，and history classes，for example，are often required to solve problems in groups，design projects，make presentations，and examine case studies.Since some college or university courses are “practical”rather than theoretical，they pay more attention to “doing” for themselves.

A．the humanities and social sciences

A．has not changed much in the past twenty years
B．pay attention to students’ studying instead of teachers’ teaching
C．is much more important than that of science and mathematics
D．has become more practical than theoretical
3．The reason why some professors ask students to make presentations and lead discussions is that ________.
A．these professors are often not well prepared before class
B．these professors want to stress “doing”
C．these professors want to test the students’ abiliti es
D．these professors are not willing to teach theory

A ．Student participation is not common in many courses like society and history classes.

C ．Some students are wanted to attend the lecture of science and mathematics.

答案
Ⅰ.1.C[A、B两项均有较大干扰性。

战争结束了，然而大风暴的到来延误了消息的传递，直到10月26日Collingwood才得以将报告向英国传送。

]
2．A[联系空前的report可知，他传送的是宣告胜利与Nelson阵亡的报告。

mention 意思是“提及”，并非要叙述。

]
3．C[chose的宾语是one of the smallest ships，for the task作状语，意为“为这项任务”。

] 4．D[Pickle这艘战舰归Captain Lapenotiere领导。

own表示“所有，拥有”，因此不合题意。

]
5．A[联系空后的rough seas我们可以得出答案。

and表示顺接，因此其他答案不合题意。

]
6．C[因为是在海上航行，因此本空用voyage。

D项有一定干扰性，march意思是“行军”，因此不合题意。

]
7．B[八天后Pickle到达了Falmouth。

从下文“From there，Captain Lapenotiere 8_(took) a fast post chaise to London”我们也可以得出答案。

]
8．B[表示“乘车”用动词take。

此处用过去式。

]
9．D[他连续不停地走了37小时。

A、C两项有较大干扰性，要送的报告非常紧急，因此他不可能是随意地或慢慢地。

continuously意思是“连续不断地”。

]
10．D[联系空后的Collingwood可知，在他离开Collingwood后不到11天他到达了Admiralty。

]
11．A[因为是夜里1点钟，官员们早就入睡了。

long ago意思是“很久以前”；before long 意思是“之后不久”；long after意思是“之后很久”，因此B、C、D三项均不符合题意。

] 12．C[on leave意思是“休假”；on business意思是“因公”；at work意思是“在工作”；at sea意思是“在海上”，联系下文Lapenotiere说的话可知秘书仍在工作。

] 13．B[联系空后的report可知，Lapenotiere把报告递了过去。

hand over上交，符合语境。

take over意思是“接过来”；give out意思是“分发，筋疲力尽”；turn out意思是“结果是”。

] 14．D[因为Nelson为国捐躯，因此Lapenotiere说“我们失去了Lord Nelson”。

defeat 与beat都有“打败”的意思，而miss指“错过机会”。

因此A、B、C三项均不符合题意。

] 15．A[联系空前的“copies”可知，报告送到了首相那里。

]
16．B[联系空前的“edition”及空后的“was rushed out and delivered all over the country”可知胜利的消息作为特殊版面印在报纸上迅速发遍全国。

A、C、D三项均不是迅速报道消息的形式。

]
17．D[联系空后的“for the victory was weakened...”可知，公众喜悦的气氛被忧伤所冲淡。

] 18．C[联系第一段中的“...and Nelso n’s death”我们可以得出答案。

]
19．B[A项有较大干扰性。

congratulate意思是“祝贺”，宾语为人；而celebrate意思是“庆祝”，宾语为物。

胜利应是被庆祝，故选B项。

]
20．D[前后为转折关系。

]
Ⅱ.1.A[细节理解题。

由第三段第二句可知。

]
2．D[细节理解题。

由第三段第二句话“However，new educational trends have turned up in the humanities and social sciences...”可知。

]
