一、阅读理解
During Paleolithic（旧石器）times man became man by learning to speak, to make tools and to use fire. This gave him an enormous advantage over other animals about him. Yet in one fundamental respect he remained alike to them. He was still a hunter among other hunters. He was still a food gatherer as were countless other species that were completely dependent on the bounty （恩赐）of nature. And being dependent on the nature, he was dominated by nature. He had to be constantly on the move in order to follow animals and to locate fishing grounds. He had to live in small groups because not many could find enough food to support themselves in a given area if he lived alone. It is estimated that even in fertile areas with a mild winter, only one or two food collectors could support themselves per square mile. And twenty or even thirty square miles were needed for each human soul in regions of cold climate, tropical jungle or desert.
Such dependence on nature left its mark on all aspects of human society. But this dependence was greatly reduced when man made the epochal（纪元的）discovery that he could feed himself by growing his food as well as by gathering it. In doing so a new world with a bright future opened before him, as he left behind him the Paleolithic stage of his development and entered the Neolithic（新石器）.

It was 1985, and Rafe Esquith was beginning his third year of teaching in Los Angeles public schools. He faced a class of 40 sixth-graders from low-income homes where English rarely was spoken, and the best reader among them was two years below grade level.
But to everyone’s surprise, he decided to teach them Shakespeare.
Five families agreed to let their children play “Macbeth”for two hours after school. This proved to be so much fun that, within weeks, Esquith had 28 kids happily soaking up the drama of blood and betrayal in medieval Scotland. They were learning many words they had never heard before.
But when Esquith asked a school district supervisor for official approval, he received this note:“Mr. Esquith, it is not appropriate that you stay after school to teach Shakespeare. It would be better if you did something with the children that is academic.”
It would not be the last time that the narrow thinking of big-city school administration got in Esquith’s way. Yet the bearded, 6-foot-tall cyclone has proved that a teacher who thinks very big -- much harder lessons, larger projects, extra class time -- can help disadvantaged children in ways most educators never imagine.
This was difficult at first, until he stumbled upon a concept of teaching that is at the core of his success. American children, even those from hardworking immigrant cultures, have in Esquith’s view been wrongly taught that learning should always be fun, by teachers who think hard lessons are bad for kids from low-income homes. When faced with something difficult, such students don’t know what to do.
The Declaration of Independence says Americans are entitled to the pursuit of happiness, but the emphasis in public schooling has been on the happiness, he believes. “What happened to pursuit?” Esquith said. So he has created an entirely new universe in his classroom, cherishing effort and the slogan, “There Are No Shortcuts”.
As for their own dramatic performances, Esquith got aroundthe original ban on his after-school “Macbeth”rehearsals by switching to Thornton Wilder’s “Our Town”. When that class finally performed the Shakespeare play, a school district supervisor showed up. The high-ranking district administrator came up afterwards and shook his hand. “Rafe”, she said, “I’ve never seen Shakespeare done better.”
6.It can be learned from the passage that Esquith’s students _____________.
A.liked the traditional teaching better
B.were relatively poor in intelligence
C.were mainly from immigrant families
D.refused to cooperate with the new teacher
7.At first, Esquith’s Shakespeare-teaching ______________.
A.won the support of the school district authority
B.got slow response from the school district authority
C.did not draw attention from the school district authority
D.was not approved by the school district authority
8.It is implied that most educators ______________.
A.fail to realize the potential of disadvantaged students
B.fail to introduce fun into the learning of disadvantaged students
C.are reluctant to admit the unfair treatment to disadvantaged students
D.are unaware of the difficulty faced by disadvantaged students
9.Esquith’s principle of teaching is different from the general one in that _________.
A.he insists on giving harder lessons to more advanced students
B.he places greater emphasis on hard work in students’learning
C.he pays less attention to students’academic performances
D.he dismisses the concept of extra homework for students
10.What is the main idea of the passage?
A.An inspiring teacher wins the love and respect of his students.
B.An experienced teacher contributes to the school and the students.
C.An innovative teacher makes changes in the students.
D.An optimistic teacher helps build confidence in the students.
