21、 order to create underwater reefs (暗礁)perfect for scuba diving (水肺式潜泳)and preserving marine 26 Turkish authorities have just sunk something a little different than a ship, and it wouldnt normally ever touch water, an Airbus A300. The hollowed-out A300 was 27 of everything potentially harmful to the

26、n BDirections: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a
27、 letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.Make Stuff, Fail, And Learn While Youre At ItA) Weve always been a hands-on, do-it-yourself kind of nation. Ben Franklin, one of Americas founding fathers, didnt just invent the lightning rod. His creations include g
28、lasses, innovative stoves and more.B) Franklin, who was largely self-taught, may have been a genius, but he wasnt really an exception when it comes to American making and creativity.C) The personal computing revolution and philosophy of disruptive innovation of Silicon Valley grew, in part, out of t
29、he creations of the Homebrew Computer Club, Which was founded in a garage in Menlo Park, California, in the mid-1970s. Members including guys named Jobs and Wozniak started making and inventing things they couldnt buy.D) So its no surprise that the Maker Movement today is thriving in communities and
30、 some schools 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 by John Dewey, Montessori, and even ancient Greek philosophers, as we pointed out recently.E) These maker s
31、paces are often outside of classrooms, and are serving an important educational function. The Maker Movement is rediscovering learning by doing, which is Deweys phrase from 100 years ago. We are rediscovering Dewey and Montessori and a lot of the practices that they pioneered that have been forgotte
32、n or at least put aside. A maker space is a place which can be in a school, but it doesnt look like a classroom. It can be in a library. It can be out in the community. It has tools and materials. Its a place where you get to make things based on your interest and on what youre learning to do.F) Ide
33、as about learning by doing have struggled to become mainstream educationally, despite being 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 way to learn. We learn,
34、in a sense, by trial and error. Learning from experience is something that takes time and patience. Its very individualized. If your goal is to have standardized approaches to learning, where everybody learns the same thing at the same time in the same way, then learning by doing doesnt really fit t
35、hat mold anymore. Its not the world of textbooks. Its not the world of testing.G) Learning by doing may not be efficient, but it is effective. Project-based learning has grown in popularity with teachers and administrators. However, project-based learning is not making. Although there is a connectio
36、n, there is also a distinction. The difference lies in whether the 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 tends to be one form of project-based lea
37、rning.H) I really believe the core idea of making is to have an idea within your head or you just borrow it from someone and begin to develop it , repeat it and improve it. Then, realize that idea somehow. That thing that you make is valuable to you and you can share it with others. Im interested in
38、 how these things are expressions of that person, their ideas, and their interactions with the world.I) In some ways, a lot of forms of making in school trivialize（使变得无足轻重）making. The thing that you make has no value to you. Once you are done demonstrating whatever concept was in the textbook, you t
39、hrow away the pipe cleaners, the cardboard tubes.J) Making should be student-directed and student-led, otherwise its boring. It doesnt have the motivation of the student. Im not saying that students should not learn concepts or not learn skills. They do. But to really harness their motivation is to
40、build upon their interest. Its to let them be in control and to drive the car.K) Teachers should aim to build a supportive, creative environment for students to do this work. A very social environment, where they are learning from each other. When they have a problem, it isnt the teacher necessarily
41、 coming in to solve it. They are responsible for working through that problem. It might be they have to talk to other students in the class to help get an answer.L) The teachers role is more of a coach or observer. Sometimes, to people, it sounds like this is a diminished rote for teachers. I think
42、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 its the human behaviors youre looking at . Are they engaged? A they developing and repeating their project? Are they stumbling (受挫)？ Do they need some
43、thing that they dont have? Can you help them 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 us to be good learners. Its not the knowledge that is valuable, Its the practice of learning new things and understanding how things w
44、ork. These are processes that you are developing so that you are able, over time, to tackle more interesting problems, more challenging problemsproblems that require 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 ti
45、ed to a curriculum and an educational plan. I think a maker space is more like a like a library in that there are multiple subjects and multiple things that you can learn. What seems to be missing in school is how these subjects integrate, how they fit together in any meaningful way. Rather than say
46、ing, This is science, over here is history, I see schools taking this idea of projects and looking at: How do they support children in higher level learning?O) I feel like this is a shift away form a subject matter-based curriculum to a more experiential curriculum or learning. Its still in its earl
47、y stages, but I think its shifting around not what kids learn but how they learn.36.A maker 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 facilitate during the process.38.Coming up with an idea of ones own or improving one from others is key to the concept of 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.42.Making
