11、分数：1.00）_五、Section Use of Eng(总题数：1，分数：30.00)The United States leads all industrial nations in the proportion of its young men and women who receive higher education. Why is this? What motivates a middle-income family with two children to 1 loans for up to $120,000 so that their son and daughter ca

12、n 2 private universities for four years? Why would both parents in a low-income family take jobs to support their three children at a state universityeach 3 an annual cost of $4,0007 Why should a woman in her forties quit her job and use her savings to 4 for the college education she did not receive

13、 when she was 5 ? Americans place a high personal value 6 higher education. This is an attitude that goes 7 to the country“s oldest political traditions. People in the United States have always believed that education is necessary for 8 a democratic government. They believe that it prepares the indi

14、vidual 9 informed intelligent, political participation, including voting. Before World War , a high school education seemed adequate for 10 most people“s needs, but the post-war period produced dozens of new questions for Americans. How should atomic 11 be used? Should scientists be 12 to experiment

15、 in splitting genes? Should money be spent on 13 astronauts into spaceor should it be used for aid to another nation? Americans rarely express a direct vote on such complex matters, but the representatives they elect 14 decide such issues. In recent years, 15 a result, many Americans have begun to r

16、egard a college education as necessary to becoming an informed American voter.（分数：30.00）六、Section Reading Co(总题数：0，分数：0.00)七、Part A(总题数：1，分数：10.00)The case for college has been accepted without question for more than a generation. All high school graduates ought to go, says conventional wisdom and s

17、tatistical evidence, because college will help them earn more money, become “better“ people, and learn to be more responsible citizens than those who don“t go. But college has never been able to work its magic for everyone. And now that close to half our high school graduates are attending, those wh

18、o don“t fit the pattern are becoming more numerous, and more obvious. College graduates are selling shoes and driving taxis, and college students interfere with each other“s experiments and write false letters of recommendation in the intense competition for admission to graduate school. Others find

19、 no stimulation in their studies, and drop outoften encouraged by college administrators. Some observers say the fault is with the young people themselvesthey are spoiled and they are expecting too much. But that“s condemnation of the students as a whole, and doesn“t explain all campus unhappiness.

20、Others blame the state of the world, and they are partly right. We“ve been told that young people have to go to college because our economy can“t absorb an army of untrained eighteen-year-olds. But disappointed graduates are learning that it can no longer absorb an army of trained twenty-two-year ol

21、ds, either. Some adventuresome educators and campus watchers have openly begun to suggest that college may not be the best, the proper, the only place for every young person after the completion of high school. We may have been looking at all those surveys and statistics upside down, it seems, and t

22、hrough the rosy glow of our own remembered college experiences. Perhaps college doesn“t make people intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, or quick to learn thingsmaybe it“s just the other way around, and intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, quick-learning people are merely the ones who have bee

23、n attracted to college in the first place. And perhaps all those successful college graduates would have been successful whether they had gone to college or not. This is heresy to those of us who have been brought up to believe that if a little schooling is good, more has to be much better. But cont

24、rary evidence is beginning to mount up.（分数：10.00）(1).We can see from the passage that _.（分数：2.00）A.people used to value college education highlyB.people used to question the value of higher educationC.college is the best place for every high school graduateD.our economy can provide jobs for all the

25、college graduates(2).In the second paragraph, “those who don“t fit the pattern“ refers to _.（分数：2.00）A.high school graduates who failed to go to collegeB.college students who aren“t any better for their higher educationC.college graduates who find no stimulation in their studiesD.high school graduat

26、es who are declined to enter college(3).Which of the following accounts for the increase of the drop-out rate of college students according to the passage?（分数：2.00）A.Some college students want to make a living earlier.B.Young people are disappointed with the teaching method at college.C.College stud

27、ents are scared by the tough competition for admission to graduate school.D.Some college students find little motivation in their studies.(4).Which of the following is TRUE according to the author?（分数：2.00）A.Young people themselves should be blamed for those problems.B.Society is partly responsible

28、for the problems of college education.C.College graduates are satisfied with the employment.D.College education can benefit all the students.(5).The author holds that _.（分数：2.00）A.higher education may not be the best thing for high school graduatesB.a person won“t be successful unless he receives hi

29、gher educationC.only those intelligent, ambitious and quick-learning people should go to collegeD.college education is useless to those unintelligent students八、Part B(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Student life at American universities is chaotic during the first week of each quarter or semester. Registering for cl

30、asses, becoming familiar with the buildings on campus, buying books, adding and dropping classes, and paying fees are confusing for everyone. 1 Participation in the classroom is not only accepted but also expected of the student in many courses. Some professors base part of the final grade on the st

31、udent“s oral participation. Although there are formal lectures during which the student has a passive role (i. e., listening and taking notes), many courses are organized around classroom discussions, student questions, and informal lectures. 2 In the teaching of science and mathematics, the dominan

32、t mode of instruction is generally traditional, with teachers presenting formal lectures and students taking notes. However, new educational trends have emerged in the humanities and social sciences in the past two decades. Students in education, sociology, and psychology classes, for example, are o

33、ften required to solve problems in groups, design projects, make presentations, and examine case studies. Since some college or university courses are “applied“ rather than theoretical, they stress “doing“. 3 Professors may establish social relationships with students outside of the classroom but in

34、 the classroom they maintain the instructor“s role. A professor may have coffee one day with students but the next day expect them to meet a deadline for the submission of a paper or to be prepared for a discussion or an exam. The professor may give extra attention outside of class to a student in n

35、eed of help but probably will not treat him or her differently when it comes to evaluating school work. Professors have several roles in relation to students; they may be counselors and friends as well as teachers. Students must realize when a teacher“s role changes they must appropriately adapt the

36、ir behavior and attitudes. 4 When research is assigned, the professor expects the student to take the initiative and to complete the assignment with minimal guidance. It is the student“s responsibility to find books, periodicals, and articles in the library. Professors expect students, particularly

37、graduate students, to be able to exhaust the reference sources in the library. 5 The university classroom in the U.S. manifests cultural values through professors and students“ expectations and attitudes. Educational practices such as student participation indicate a respect for individual responsib

38、ility and independence. Alternative teaching methods show a cultural preference for innovation. The manner in which education is provided in any country reflects basic cultural and social beliefs of that country. A. A professor“s teaching style is another factor that determines the degree and type o

39、f student participation. Some professors prefer to control discussion while others prefer to guide the class without dominating it. Many professors encourage students to question and challenge their ideas. B. International students, accustomed to their countries“ educational expectations, must adapt

40、 to new classroom norms in a foreign college or university. In some classrooms around the world students must obey their teacher“s commands and remain silent during a class period. In others, students may talk, eat, and smoke during lectures as well as criticize a teacher“s methods or contradict his

41、 or her statements. It is not always easy to understand a new educational system. C. There is considerable variety in university class rooms in the United States. Because of diverse teaching methods and non-standardized curricula, no two courses are identical. Nevertheless, there are shared features

42、 in American college and university classrooms despite the diversity of educational institutions of higher learning. D. Many instructors believe that an informal, relaxed classroom environment is helpful to learning and innovation. It is not uncommon for students to have friendly relationships with

43、their professors. The casual professor is not necessarily a poor one and is still respected by students. However, no matter how casual professors would like to be, they still are in a position of authority. E. Professors will help students who need it, but prefer that their students not be overly de

44、pendent on them (This differs from teacher-student relationships in other countries). If a student has problems with classroom work, the student should either approach a professor during office hours or make an appointment. F. Many teachers believe that the responsibility for learning lies with the

45、student. If a long reading assignment is given, instructors expect students to be familiar with the information in the reading even if they do not discuss it in class or give an examination. The ideal student is considered to be one who is motivated to learn for sake of learning, not the one interes

46、ted only in getting high grades. Sometimes homework is returned with a brief written comments but without a grade. Even if a grade is not given, the student is responsible for learning the material assigned.（分数：10.00）九、Part C(总题数：1，分数：20.00)A=S. China Agricultural Univ B=Suzhou Univ C=S. W. Jiaotong
