湖南农大自考班:初三英语模拟试题

五．任务型阅读（10分）
In aclassroom in any countries, the teacher teaches more than art or history orlanguage. He or she teaches something behind—the culture of the country.
In acountry such as the United States, people with different history,culture and language join together and they pay much attention to personalideas. Teachers try to make each student special. Students do not have toremember a lot of information, instead, they work and find answers bythemselves. There is often discussion in the classroom.
At anearly age students learn to have their own ideas. Their education encouragespersonal thought(思想).
(73)Theimportance is placed on how to arrive at an answer and not only to get thecorrect answer.
Inmost Asian countries, people have the same language, history and culture.Perhaps for this reason, the education there pays more attention to group goalsthan personal ideas. Children in Chinaand Japanoften work together and help each other on homework. In the classroom, the waysof teaching are often very traditional. The teacher speaks, and the studentslisten. There is not much discussion. Instead, the students repeat(重复) rules or information that they have beentaught in order to keep them in mind.
Inmany ways these differences come from different educational ideas. In Westerncountries teachers are taught to help students to learn. They make it easierfor the students to learn by themselves. (72)In some Asian countries,however, teachers often feel that their job is to pass knowledge to students.
