　　Passage One

　　Every Thursday afternoon, my art history class meets not in our lecture hall but in the Yale

　　University Art Gallery.

　　We spend our one-hour class discussing two or three of the paintings, many of which are by artists that we have already studied in class. The professor begins by selecting one work of art. After giving us a quick background on the artist, he'll open up for class discussion. Everyone is strongly encouraged to give opinions to the work. Not every piece we study is necessarily famous or striking in appearance and subject matter, yet we always manage to make some interesting observations.

　　In America, professors always take every opportunity to push textbooks aside and expose students to real world experiences. With some creativity, almost any can be applied to such beyond the classroom learning. My art history class trips to the gallery are but one example. Many other disciplines also offer opportunities to learn outside the classroom, for instance, business, psychology, art, journalism and biology.

　　A friend of mine from Yale taking an advanced psychology(心理学) course spends every Saturday working with mentally disabled children. Her mornings are spent playing with the kids and studying their sometimes uncontrolled behavior. Then in the afternoon she writes a report on her observations.

　　Students generally appreciate these unique learning opportunities. They're almost always fun and interesting, and professors like them because students learn so much in just a few short months. No one denies the value of classroom learning. But it can only take students so far. Slides and textbooks may do a good job of carrying facts and dates, but creativity and originality of thought cannot be taught. They can only be got through first-hand experience.

　　21. The writer studies art history ______.

　　A. in a lecture hall B. in an art gallery

　　C. in a simple way D. in a practical way

　　22. In American universities it is popular for professors to ______.

　　A. create textbooks by themselves

　　B. teach their lectures through real world experiences

　　C. ask their students to memorize the texts

　　D. share their experiences with the students

　　23. The writer introduces one of his friends' experiences to us in order to ______.

　　A. give us an example

　　B. praise the professor

　　C. praise his friend

　　D. advise us to study psychology

　　24. The writer holds the opinion that ______.

　　A. learning outside the classroom is the best way

　　B. teachers should develop students' creativity

　　C. professors had better shorten their lectures

　　D. students should put their textbooks away

　　25. “Slides and textbooks” in the last paragraph refer to ______.

　　A. the books students may use in class

　　B. the practical experience

　　C. the theoretical experience

　　D. the advice from the professors

　　Passage Two

　　The publication of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" gladdens booksellers across China. The British and American editions were No. 1 and No. 3 respectively on the sales chart of the Beijing Xidan Book Building. The book's poster is highlighted and news about the book can often be heard on the radio.

　　Why is the book so attractive to children? With curious mood, the author got a copy of "Harry Potter". Originally, I wanted to glance over it and made some criticisms. But, out of expectation, the author has been deeply attracted by the magic world. On the other hand, one cannot help asking: where is our own "Harry Potter"?

　　The Chinese nation has a history of 5,000 years, which cannot be regarded as short and its culture as not profound. With a vast market of youngsters, China did publish many books popular among children. However, why are the present works not as good as those imported?

　　There come two major reasons: Firstly, quite a number of children's books are of strong sense of teaching, and lack interest and entertainment. Children often have a feeling of being "educated". No wonder they don't like them. Secondly, children's reading materials involving "idiom stories" and "Chinese talents' stories", though always in different covers, are usually much the same or plagiarized. One knows the ending as early as in the beginning. In final analysis, the authors of the books seldom take children's requirements into consideration.

　　As a matter of fact, each child has his own wonderful imagination. They long to understand the world and nature. Similarly they have their own choices. They dislike similar stories, even if the stories are excellent. First-class reading for children should be very interesting, which contains knowledge and the essence of national culture, which are presented in children's language.

　　Market is a touchstone for products. The theory also holds true for cultural products. It is hoped that the authors of children's books can learn something from the good market of "Harry Potter" and write out more and better books loved by children.

　　26. The disadvantages of our books are the following except ______.

　　A. they have little sense of interest and entertainment

　　B. many of our books are of the same

　　C. the authors didn't pay much attention to the children's tastes

　　D. our authors never know what our children need

　　27. What's the feeling of the writer when he finishes reading "Harry Potter"?

　　A. He is so angry that he wants to criticize the book.

　　B. He is also attracted by the book.

　　C. He is shocked by the book; meanwhile he is worried about our books.

　　D. He can't help looking for Harry Potter.

　　28. The reason why the imported book is so popular is that ______.

　　A. it has no sense of teaching

　　B. it opens a wonderful world for children to explore

　　C. it is only written in children's language

　　D. it is advertised more on TV or poster

　　29. What does the underlined word plagiarized mean?

　　A. printed

　　B. copied

　　C. edited

　　D. sold

　　30. What does the writer mean by writing "where's our own Harry Potter"?

　　A. We are short of books for children.

　　B. We Chinese must produce books as popular as "Harry Potter".

　　C. Authors should write books in the same way as "Harry Potter.

　　D. Our authors are encouraged to make the market of our books for children take off.
