22、Involving little rote learning, a new teaching approach is becoming popular where teachers encourage debate and discussion in the classroom. How will students cope with this inspiring style of teaching? One way is through critical thinking, which is a necessary skill.
The easiest way to learn to think critically is to force yourself to question everything, according to Michael Tabachnick, a physics professor at Delaware Valley College. “That does not mean you can’t believe, but you must question. Is it true? Is it opinion? Is it justified by the fact?. . . Students eventually learn to analyze,” Tabachnick said.
Young learners constantly ask questions because they are curious about the world that remains unknown to them. But this natural curiosity disappears with time.
However, questioning your teachers should be encouraged. After all, they are the ones who have been educated, and have a lot more experience and knowledge than students.
When I taught in a college in Scotland, I enjoyed answering students’ questions. Some of my students posted difficult queries (问题). I didn’t always know the answers. If I didn’t, I’d admit it and try to find out later.
I still remember when I was at university, my peers and I were encouraged to challenge each other and our professors. A student would write a paper on a subject, and fellow students would criticize it. It could be very challenging. But it was a way of developing critical thinking and logical thinking. Having a logical mind can help develop critical thinking. Some people don’t have a logical mind, but they do have emotional intelligence, which is also important for critical thinking. People with high emotional intelligence can understand other people’s feelings, communicate properly with them, and read their personalities. If you can’t at least try to put yourself in someone else’s shoes, how can you understand their situations, their problems and their issues?
So, try to develop your power of critical thinking. Start with books, films, music and newspapers. And don’t believe everything you read or see. Think for yourself.
【1】Which of the following is an example of an inspiring style of teaching?
A．Students are organized to have some discussion.
B．Students are asked to recite some historical facts.
C．Students are required to copy some historical facts.
D．Students are quizzed on some famous people in history.
【2】How can you develop critical thinking as Michael Tabachnick says?
A．Have a debate on a subject.
B．Do not believe anything.
C．Discuss a topic with classmates.
D．Ask a question and analyze.
【3】What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A．The fault in the answer I gave.
B．The fact that I didn’t know the answers.
C．The good questions that students asked.
D．The answers that I needed to find out later.
【4】How can emotional intelligence help critical thinking?
A．People with high emotional intelligence are open-minded.
B．People with high emotional intelligence are good at criticizing.
C．High emotional intelligence helps people understand others better.
D．High emotional intelligence helps people think in a more logical way.
23、Instead of throwing the pits (核) or nuts after eating fruits like many people, inheritors of nut carving will collect them and turn them into artworks.
“One nut, ranging from 0.8 to 6 centimeters, can be shaped into delicate earrings, buttons, seals, etc,” said Tan Wanhai, an inheritor of Weifang nut carving.
Weifang nut carving can be traced back to the Qing Dynasty, during which a retired royal craftsman Wang Dayan spread the skill to the locals in Shandong. Craftsmen back then often used peach pits to display their artistic skills. Due to the demanding carving skills and its rich artistic content including many different elements, Weifang nut carving was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage as early as 2008.
Tan has studied the nut carving over 25 years and has created many nut carvings along the way. Yet, the 48-year-old craftsman also admitted that the journey of bringing this kind of masterpiece to life is not all smooth sailing. “Unlike some pits like olive pits whose surfaces are flat, each peach pit has a unique texture like fingerprints,” Tan said, adding that craftsmen should have the capability to trace each peach pit carefully to plan their artwork besides the carving technique itself.
Also, craftsmen need to have a wide foundation of knowledge when it comes to carving nuts. According to Tan, they have to master skills in painting, seal carving and calligraphy from many traditional cultures. Sometimes, to depict classic folktales or legends in their artworks better, they need to read many books to prepare themselves.
It is this kind of dedication that Tan and others possess that allows Weifang nut carving to thrive when many traditional skills are gradually disappearing. “In recent years, Weifang nut carving artworks have been increasingly welcomed by people in China for their inventive layout and novel ideas,” Tan said. This popularity, in turn, has also attracted many people to learn the skill of nut carving and even become inheritors to pass it down.
【1】What can we know about Weifang nut carving?
A．It dates back to the Ming Dynasty.
B．It can transform a nut into different designs.
C．It was invented by a retired royal craftsman.
D．It was first nationally recognized 25 years ago.
【2】Which of the following words can replace the underlined word “depict” in paragraph 5?
A．Tell.
B．Understand.
C．Review.
D．Create.
【3】What are paragraph 4 and paragraph 5 mainly about?
A．The cultural significance of nut carving.
B．The reasons why nut carvings are valuable.
C．The skills required for nut carving craftsmen.
D．The difficulties craftsmen have when creating nut carvings.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．Seeds of Art and Beauty

D．Devoted Contemporary Inheritors
24、 Most of us grow up taking certain things for granted. We tend to assume that experts and religious leaders tell us “the truth”. We tend to believe that things advertised on television or newspapers can't be bad for us.
However, encouragement of critical thinking in students is one of the goals of most colleges and universities. Few professors require students to share the professors’ own beliefs. In general professors are more concerned that students learn to question and critically examine the arguments of others, including some of their own beliefs or values. This does not mean that professors insist that you change your beliefs, either. It does mean, however, that professors will usually ask you to support the views you express in class or in your writing.
lf your premises (主张) are shaky, or if your arguments are not logical, professors personally point out the false reasoning in your arguments. Most professors want you to learn to recognize the premises of your arguments, to examine whether you really accept these premises and to understand whether or not you draw logical conclusions. Put it this way: Professors don't tell you what to think; they try to teach you how to think.
On the other hand, if you intend to disagree with your professors in class, you should be prepared to offer a strong argument in support of your ideas. Arguing just for the sake of arguing usually does not promote a critical examination of ideas. Many professors interpret it as rudeness.
【1】What does the writer try to express in the first paragraph?
A．People grow up through learning certain things in life.
B．People are forming their views during their growth.
C．People easily accept certain things without a second thought.
D．People have strong beliefs in authorities while getting old.
【2】Nowadays, most colleges and universities encourage students to ________.
A．criticize others
B．give their own ideas
C．share professors' beliefs
D．change their own beliefs
【3】What does the underlined word “shaky” in Para.3 most probably mean?
A．weak
B．firm
C．false
D．creative
【4】What's the right way to argue according to the writer?
A．Examine others' ideas critically.
B．Prove it with a good conclusion.
C．Argue mainly for the sake of arguing.
D．Support your ideas with sound reasoning.
