Passage TwoIn America, the first aim of education was to prepare children to read the Scripture and its intent was religious. Later on the purpose was to enable people t

22、o read and write, and take part in the democratic process. Still later, the purpose became to prepare young people for jobs in a modern society. At no time was the aim of education to prepare students to become individuals or complete human beings. This aspect of education was left to the home, chur

23、ch, mass media, and the city streets. To a certain large extent, it still remains there. Yet in a society that can easily be foreseen, one in which mechanization will reduce the human factors in industrial production, the purpose of education must once again change.

They were afraid of the monster, but they were also very brave. They rushed out into the field and attacked the animal with knives

27、 and sticks and farming tools. The monster made terrible noises, like an animal that can breathe only with great difficulty. But that was not the worst thing. When the villagers cut into the monstersskin, it gave off a horrible smell. And even after the villagers had cut the thing open, it still mov

28、ed. Finally, the villagers tied it to a horse. The horse ran through the fields and the monster was torn to pieces. What was this terrible monster? The answer is that it was one of the first hot air balloons. Its skin was made of silk and a kind of rubber. The terrible smell was the hot air inside t

Some we are beginning to understand; and there may be some that depend on (28) abilities we have not yet (

31、29) suspected. Many birds certainly follow major (30) geographical features. They follow (31) recognized land, fly over familiar sea and arrive at their summer homes. But all birds cannot use such (32) straightforward methods. An Arctic sea bird, for example, has to fly at least 3,000 kilometers acr

32、oss the Antarctic Ocean with no land to(33) guide it. We know that some birds, flying at night, (34) navigate by the stars for on cloudy nights they tend to get lost.Day flying birds may use the sun. (35) If they are to do so, they must have a precise sense of time. Still others appear to be able to use the earthsmagnetic field as a guide. So it seems that (36) many birds must carry in their brains a clock, a compass and the memory of a map.Exercise 2【参考答案】Section A1. D2
