information is derived.You may choose a paragraph more than once.Each paragraph ismarked with a letter.Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letteron AnswerSheet 2.Make Stuff,Fail,And Learn While YoureAt ItA.Weve always been a hands-on,do-it-yourself kind of nation.Ben Franklin,one ofAmericas founding fathers,didnt just invent the lightning rod.His creations include glasses,innovative stoves and more.B.Franklin,who was largely self-taught,may have been a genius,but he wasnt really anexception when it comes to American making and creativity.C.The personal computing revolution and philosophy of disruptive innovation of SiliconValley grew,in part,out of the creations of the Homebrew Computer Club,Which was founded ina garage in Menlo Park,California,in the mid-1970s.Members including guys named Jobs andWozniak started making and inventing things they couldnt buy.D.So its no surprise that the Maker Movement today is thriving in communities and someschools across America.Making is available to ordinary people who arent tied to big companies,big defense labs or research universities.The maker philosophy echoes old ideas advocated byJohn Dewey,Montessori,and even ancient Greek philosophers,as we pointed out recently.E.These maker spaces are often outside of classrooms,and are serving an importanteducational function.The Maker Movement is rediscovering learning by doing,which is Deweysphrase from 100 years ago.We are rediscovering Dewey and Montessori and a lot of the practicesthat they pioneered that have been forgotten or at least put aside.A maker space is a place whichcan be in a school,but it doesnt look like a classroom.It can be in a library.It can be out in thecommunity.It has tools and materials.Its a place where you get to make things based on yourinterest and on what youre learning to do.F.Ideas about learning by doing have struggled to become mainstream educationally,despitebeing old concepts from Dewey and Montessori,Plato and Aristotle,and in the American Contcxt,Ralph Emerson,on the value of experience and self-reliance.Its not necessarily an efficient wayto learn.We learn,in a sense,by trial and error.Learning from experience is something that takestime and patience.Its very individualized.If your goal is to have standardized approaches tolearning,where everybody learns the same thing at the same time in the same way,then learningby doing doesnt really fit that mold anymore.Its not the world of textbooks.Its not the world oftesting.G.Learning by doing may not be efficient,but it is effective.Project-based learning hasgrown in popularity with teachers and administrators.However,project-based learning is notmaking.Although there is a connection,there is also a distinction.The difference lies in whetherthe project is in a sense defined and developed by the student or whether its assigned by a teacher.Well all get the kids to build a small boat.We are all going to learn about X,Y,and Z.That tendsto be one form of project-based learning.H.I really believe the core idea of making is to have an idea within your head or you justborrow it from someone and begin to develop it,repeat it and improve it.Then,realize that微信公众号：英语四六级真题3idea somehow.That thing that you make is valuable to you and you can share it with others.Iminterested in how these things are expressions of that person,their ideas,and their interactionswith the world.I.In some ways,a lot of forms of making in school trivialize（使变得无足轻重）making.Thething that you make has no value to you.Once you are done demonstrating whatever concept wasin the textbook,you throw away the pipe cleaners,the cardboard tubes.J.Making should be student-directed and student-led,otherwise its boring.It doesnt havethe motivation of the student.Im not saying that students should not learn concepts or not learnskills.They do.But to really harness their motivation is to build upon their interest.Its to let thembe in control and to drive the car.K.Teachers should aim to build a supportive,creative environment for students to do thiswork.A very social environment,where they are learning from each other.When they have aproblem,it isnt the teacher necessarily coming in to solve it.They are responsible for workingthrough that problem.It might be they have to talk to other students in the class to help get ananswer.L.The teachers role is more of a coach or observer.Sometimes,to people,it sounds like thisis a diminished rote for teachers.I think its a heightened role.Youre ereating this environment,like a maker space.You have 20 kids doing different things.You are watching them and really itsthe human behaviors youre looking at.Are they engaged?A they developing and repeating theirproject?Are they stumbling(受挫)？Do they need something that they dont have?Can you helpthem be aware of where they are?M.My belief is that the goal of making is not to get every kid to be hands-on,but it enable usto be good learners.Its not the knowledge that is valuable,Its the practice of learning new thingsand understanding how things work.These are processes that you are developing sothat you areable,over time,to tackle more interesting problems,more challenging problemsproblems thatrequire many people instead of one person,and many skills instead of one.N.If teachers keep it form-free and student-led,it can still be tied to a curriculum and aneducational plan.I think a maker space is more like a like a library in that there are multiplesubjects and multiple things that you can learn.What seems to be missing in school is how thesesubjects integrate,how they fit together in any meaningful way.Rather than saying,This isscience,over here is history,I see schools taking this idea of projects and looking at:How do theysupport children in higher level learning?O.I feel like this is a shift away form a subject matter-based curriculum to a moreexperiential curriculum or learning.Its still in its early stages,but I think its shifting around notwhat kids learn but how they learn.36.Amaker space is where people make things according to their personal interests.37.The teachers role is enhanced in a maker space as they have to monitor and facilitateduring the process.38.Coming up with an idea of ones own or improving one from others is key to the conceptof making.39.Contrary to structured learning,learning by doing is highly individualized.40.America is a nation known for the idea of making things by oneself.41.Making will be boring unless students are able to take charge.微信公众号：英语四六级真题442.Making can be related to a project,but it is created and carried out by students themselves.43.The author suggests incorporating the idea of a maker space into a school curriculum.44.The maker concept is a modern version of some ancient philosophical ideas.45.Making is not taken seriously in school when students are asked to make somethingmeaningless to them based on textbooks.Section CDirections:There are 2 passages in this section.Each passage is followed by some questions orunfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked

than the text that ends up getting written,some of the work that comesout of the sessions has stuck with her.“One of the sessions that moved me the most was state violence on black women and

available.While they soundefficient and cost-saving,a recent study reports that they are not effective,primarily becausedepressed patients are not likely to engage with them or stick with them.The study looked at computer-assisted cognitive(认 知 的)behavioral therapy(CBT)andfound that it was no more effective in treating depression than the usual care patients receive froma primary care doctor.Traditional CBT is considered an effective form of talk therapy for depression,helpingpeople challenge negative thoughts and change the way they think in order to change their moodand behaviors.However,online CBT programs have been gaining popularity,with the attractionof providing low-cost help wherever someone has access to a computer.A team of researchers from the University of Y ork conducted a randomized(随机的)controltrial with 691 depressed patients from 83 physician practices across England.The patients weresplit into three groups:one group received only usual care from a physician while the other twogroups received usual care from a physician plus one of two computerized CBT programs.Participants were balanced across the three groups for age,sex,educational background,severityand duration of depression,and use of antidepressants(抗抑郁药).After four months,the patients using the computerized CBT programs had no improvementin depression levels over the patients who were only getting usual care from their doctors.“Its an important,cautionary note that we shouldnt get too carried away with the idea that acomputer system can replace doctors and therapists,”says Christopher Dowrick,a professor ofprimary medical care at the University of Liverpool.“We do still need the human touch or the微信公众号：英语四六级真题6h
