28、ge 1(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Police Officer Tidwell left the station just after 8 a.m. on Sunday, June 4. He had spent an uneventful night on duty and was looking forward to his day of rest. By habit he took a short cut down the path behind Digby Hall Road. A minute or two later, he saw a man climbing down a

29、 drain-pipe from an open bedroom window of number 29. In silence Tidwell crept into the garden. The man reached the ground and was dusting himself down when he felt his arm gripped. “It“s 8:15 on a Sunday morning,“ said the officer, “and this sort of thing seems an unlikely adventure at such a time.

30、 Would you mind explaining?“ The man was obviously startled but he kept calm. He said, “I know what“s on your mind, officer, but it isn“t true. This is a very funny mistake.“ “It“s part of my job to take an interest in unusual events. I think you“ve just left this house in a manner other than the cu

31、stomary one. That may be quite innocent, but I“d like to make sure.“ Tidwell took out his notebook and a pen. “Name, address and occupation and then, please, tell me your story.“ “Charlie Crane, Lorry Driver, from Nottingham, 51 Breton Street. My story.“ “Yes. What were you doing like a fly on that

32、wall, Mr Crane?“ “Well, I had a breakdown yesterday and had to stay here until it was fixed. Bed and breakfast. The landlady“s name is Mrs Fern. She gave me breakfast at seven, and I was out here in the right way and down at the lorry park by half past seven, h was only when I felt around for a ciga

33、rette I realized I“d left 80 pounds in my pay envelope under the pillow here at number 29. I always put it under my pillow at night. It“s a habit I“ve got into. I even do it at home.“ “I see. Why didn“t you miss it when you went to pay Mrs What“s-her-name?“ “Mrs Fern. I“d paid her last night. You“ve

34、 got to pay when you take the room, see. So I came rushing back, but it“s Sunday, and she“d gone back to bed. Could I wake her? I rang the bell and banged on the front door for ten minutes before I came round here to the back and found my bedroom window still open. Up I went, then, up this pipe. It“

35、s a trick I learnt in the army. She hadn“t made the bed, and the money was still there. You know the rest, and I hope you believe it because.“ “Mr Crane, what on earth are you doing here? I thought you“d gone an hour ago.“ It was Mrs Fern, speaking from the kitchen window at the corner of the house.

40、irst-year college students, wavering between high hopes for the future and intense anxiety about their new status, scan college maps searching for their classroom. They have been told repeatedly that college is the key to a well-paid job, and they certainly don“t want to support themselves by flippi

41、ng hamburgers or working at some other dead-end job. So, notebooks at the ready, they await what college has in store. Unfortunately many of them will not return after the first year. Why do so many students leave? There are several reasons. Some find the academic program too hard, others lack the p

42、roper study habits or motivation, and a large group leave for personal reasons. Not surprisingly, the academic shortcomings of college students have strong links to high school. In the past, a high-school student who lacked the ability or desire to take a college-preparatory course could settle for

43、a diploma in general studies and afterward find a job with decent pay. Now that possibility scarcely exists, so many poorly prepared students feel compelled to try college. Getting accepted by some schools isn“t difficult. Once in, though, the student who has taken nothing beyond general mathematics

44、 English, and science faces serious trouble when confronted with freshman composition, and biological or physical science. Most colleges do offer courses and other assistance that may help some weaker students to survive. In spite of everything, however, many others find themselves facing ever-wors

45、ening grade point averages and either fail or just give up. Like academic shortcomings, poor study habits have their roots in high school, where even average students can often breeze through with a minimum of effort. In many schools, outside assignments are rare and so easy that they require little

46、 time or thought to complete. To accommodate slower students, teachers frequently repeat material so many times that slightly better students can grasp it without opening their books. And when papers are late, teachers often don“t mark them down. This “kindness“ produces students who can“t or don“t

47、want to study, students totally unprepared for the rigorous demands of college. There, courses may require several hours of study each week in order to be passed with even a “C“. In many programs, outside assignments are commonplace and demanding. Instructors expect students to grasp material after

48、one explanation, and many won“t accept late papers at all. Students who don“t quickly develop disciplined study habits face a flood of low grades and failure. Poor student motivation worsens faulty study habits. Students who thought high school was boring find even less attraction in the more challe

49、nging college offerings. Lacking any commitment to do well, they shrug off assigned papers, skip classes, and avoid doing required reading. Over time, classes gradually shrink as more and more students stay away. With final exams upon them, some return in a last-ditch effort to save a passing grade, but by then it is too late. Eventually, repetition of this situation forces the students out.（分数：10.00）(1).Which of the following is true of first-year college students?（分数：2.00）A.They have been f
