What is a good education? The question is far from being answered. Once more, colleges and universities are changing their programs: they drop "fun courses" and restart some of the traditional subjects neglected (忽視) since the 1960s. Many great schools are again requiring the students to take a number of classes in English, history, literature, the social sciences, philosophy, the natural sciences, and art if they want to get a degree. Meanwhile, the experts are trying to describe the good education of our time. Obviously the purely vocational training once favored is not enough. But neither is the gentleman's education of the nineteenth century. Educational programs must meet the demands of a modern world where men and women have to work and to deal with big problems.

What, then, is a good education of this century? Some educators suggest that it should include foreign languages and the study of foreign cultures; a mastery of English, including the ability to write and speak well, because communications have become all-important in the modern world, and also because "a person who doesn't speak and write clearly doesn't reason clearly either"; some knowledge of the social sciences (sociology, psychology) that deal with human relations and human problems; some basic knowledge of modern science, which would enable future voters to be better informed about current problems like nuclear. Finally, many educators insist that all college graduates should be familiar with computers and modern information system since the educated professionals of tomorrow will have to understand their machines. Is that all? "No, of course not." answer the educators. "We have not mentioned the two great building blocks of education: history and literature!"

解析:

71．答案：C解析：本題考查主旨大意�？v觀全文，不難發(fā)現(xiàn)作者圍繞“What is a good education?”這一問題展開議論，而且在第一和第二自然段的首句明確交代這一主題。A項擴(kuò)大了話題范圍，文章不是泛泛談?wù)摗敖逃倍钦務(wù)摗昂媒逃保籅、D兩項概括片面。故正確答案C。

72．答案：A解析：本題考查詞義猜測。結(jié)合上下文分析，由上句的change和后面的restart(重新開始)，可以判斷出“drop”應(yīng)含有和“重新開始”相反的意思，desert“舍棄、遺棄”，dislike“不喜歡、厭惡”，decline“下降、減少”，neglect“忽視”，故正確答案A。

73．答案：D解析：該題屬推理判斷題。由文章第一段第二句“The question is far from being answered.”可知，“這個問題遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)沒有得到回答”，以及文章最后一句話可知這一問題沒有獲得滿意的答案，所以正確答案D。

74．答案：B解析：該題屬細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二段“Some educators suggest that …a mastery of English, including the ability to write and speak well, because communications have become all-important in the modern world…”可以很容易地判斷答案應(yīng)是B。

75．答案：D解析：該題為正誤判斷題。由第一段的尾句：Educational programs must meet the demands of a modern world where men and women have to work and to deal with big problems.可知A項正確；由第一段的Many great schools are again requiring the students… if they want to get a degree.可知B項正確；由第二段的Some educators suggest that it should include foreign languages and the study of foreign cultures可知C項正確；D項在文中沒有涉及，故答案D

Besides entertainment and beautiful lanterns, another important part of the Lantern Festival, or Yuanxiao Festival is eating small dumpling balls made of glutinous rice flour. We call these balls Yuanxiao or Tangyuan. Obviously, they get the name from the festival itself. It is said that the custom of eating Yuanxiao originated during the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the fourth century, then became popular during the Tang and Song periods.

The fillings inside the dumplings or Yuansiao are either sweet or salty. Sweet fillings are made of sugar, Walnuts, sesame（芝麻）, osmanthus flowers(桂花), rose petals, sweetened tangerine（橘子）peel, bean paste, or jujube paste（棗子醬）. A single ingredient or any combination can be used as the filling . The salty variety is filled with minced meat（肉末兒）, vegetables or a mixture.

The way to make Yuanxiao also varies between northern and southern China. The usual method followed in southern provinces is to shape the dough of rice flour into balls, make a hole, insert the filling, then close the hole and smooth out the dumpling by rolling it between your hands. In North China, sweet or nutmeat stuffing is the usual ingredient. The fillings are pressed into hardened cores, dipped lightly in water and rolled in a flat basket containing dry glutinous rice flour. A layer of the flour sticks to the filling, which is then again dipped in water and rolled a second time in the rice flour. And so it goes, like rolling a snowball, until the dumpling is the desired size.

The custom of eating Yuanxiao dumplings remains. This tradition encourages both old and new stores to promote their Yuanxiao products. They all try their best to improve the taste and quality of the dumplings to attract more customers.

Which of the following is NOT true?

 A. The custom of eating Yuanxiao dates back to the fourth century.

 B. Sugar, rose petals and minced meat are all fillings of Yuanxiao.

 C. Sweet Yuanxiao are usually made in southern China.

 D. People in northern China usually make Yuanxiao by rolling like a snowball.

Which country does the Lantern Festival come from?

A. China  B. South Korea C. Jin Dynasty  D. Tang and Song periods.

Choose the right order of making Tangyuan in southern provinces.

① make a hole and insert the filling 

② roll the dough between your hands 

③ shape the dough of rice flour into balls  

④ close the hole  

⑤ prepare some rice flour

 A. ⑤③②①④  B. ③⑤①②④  C. ③①④②⑤  D. ⑤③①④②

What is the best title of this passage?

A. The Lantern Festival                        B. The ingredients of Yuanxiao

C. The difference between Yuanxiao and Tangyuan.  D. China’s traditional food—Yuanxiao.

Why do we eat Yuanxiao today?
