　　“With the increase in the number of such advertisements, however, each advertiser within a certain group is competing with others in the same group for the reader’s attention”，故選項D正確。 Psychologists take opposing views of how external rewards, from warm praise to old cash, affect motivation and creativity. Behaviorists, who study the relation between actions and, argue that rewards can improve performance at work and school. Some other researchers who study various aspects of mental life, maintain those rewards often destroy creativity by encouraging dependence on approval and gifts from others.

　　The latter view has gained many supporters, especially among educators. But the careful use of small monetary rewards sparks in grade-school children suggesting that properly presented inducements indeed aid inventiveness, according to a study in the June Journal Personality and Social Psychology.

　　“If they know they're working for a reward and can focus on a relatively challenging task, they show the most creativity,” says Robert Esenberger of the University of Delaware in Newark. “But it's easy to kill creativity by giving rewards for poor performance or creating too much anticipation for rewards.”

　　A teacher who continually draws attention to rewards or who hands out high grades for ordinary achievement ends up with uninspired students, Esenberger holds. As an example of the latter point, he notes growing efforts at major universities to tighten grading standards and restore falling grades.

　　In earlier grades, the use of so-called token economics, in which students handle challenging problems and receive performance-based points toward valued rewards, shows promise in raising effort and creativity, the Delaware psychologist claims.

　　答案與解析：

　　1. D

　　心理學(xué)家認(rèn)為外界的獎勵對學(xué)生會有不同的影響。事實辨析題。根據(jù)文章第一句話“Psychologists take opposing views of how external re wards, from warm praise to old cash, affect motivation and creativity”可知，心理學(xué)家的分歧在于來自外界的獎勵對學(xué)生的積極性和創(chuàng)造性究竟有什么影響，故選項D正確.

　　2. C

　　許多教育家對外界的獎勵持懷疑態(tài)度。

　　文章第二段第一句話提到，后一種觀點得到了許多教育工作者的支持，從第一段中可知，后一種觀點是：獎勵會促使學(xué)生對別人的贊許和饋贈產(chǎn)生依賴心理，因此獎勵會破壞創(chuàng)造精神。由此可知，他們對獎勵的正面作用持懷疑態(tài)度。故選項C正確。

　　3. A

　　根據(jù)文中的研究結(jié)果表明，教育家通過給予學(xué)生應(yīng)得的獎勵來提高他們的積極性和創(chuàng)造性。文章第三段指出，給予學(xué)生恰當(dāng)?shù)莫剟睿�可使他們發(fā)揮更大的創(chuàng)造性，但如果對糟糕的表現(xiàn)也給予獎勵，或讓學(xué)生對獎勵有太多的期許，反而會扼殺創(chuàng)造性。故選項A正確。

　　4. B

　　從文中可以得知，一些重點大學(xué)試圖加強等級標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，因為他們相信懲罰比獎勵更有效。事實辨析題。從文中第四段可知，許多大學(xué)之所以嚴(yán)格考試的評分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，是因為“A teacher ... who hands out high grades for ordinary achievement ends up with uninspired students”。選項B 與此意相同。

　　5. C

　　根據(jù)學(xué)生的表現(xiàn)對他們做出評價。事實辨析題。根據(jù)最后一段的意思，在這種獎勵制度下，要根據(jù)學(xué)生的表現(xiàn)對他們做出評價，而不僅僅是他們花費了多少精力來完成任務(wù)，故選項C正確。
