Choose the best one and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square brackets on your machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET.30 Before the 1850s the United States had a number of small colleges, most of them dating from colonial days. They were small, church-connect

25、ed institutions whose primary concern was to shape the moral character of their students.Throughout Europe, institutions of higher learning had developed, bearing the ancient name of university. In Germany a different kind of university had developed. The German university was concerned primarily wi

26、th creating and spreading knowledge, not morals. Between mid-century and the end of the 1800s, more than nine thousand young Americans, dissatisfied with their training at home, went to Germany for advanced study. Some of them returned to become presidents of venerable (受人尊敬的) collegesHarvard, Yale,

27、 Columbiaand transform them into modern universities. The new presidents broke all ties with the churches and brought in a new kind of faculty. Professors were hired for their knowledge of a subject, not because they were of the proper faith and had a strong arm for disciplining students. The new pr

28、inciple was that a university was to create knowledge as well as pass it on, and this called for a faculty composed of teacher scholars. Drilling and learning by rote (死记硬背) were replaced by the German method of lecturing, in which the professors own research was presented in class. Graduate trainin

29、g leading to the Ph. D, an ancient German degree signifying the highest level of advanced scholarly attainment, was introduced. With the establishment of the seminar system, graduate students learned to question, analyze, and conduct their own research.At the same time, the new university greatly ex

30、panded in size and course offerings, breaking completely out of the old, constricted curriculum of mathematics, classics, rhetoric, and music. The president of Harvard pioneered the elective system, by which students were able to choose their own courses of study. The notion of major fields of study

31、 emerged. The new goal was to make the university relevant to the real pursuits of the world. Paying close heed to the practical needs of society, the new universities trained men and women to work at its tasks, with engineering students being the most characteristic of the new regime. Students were

32、 also trained as economists, architects, agriculturalists, social welfare workers, and teachers.31 The word “this“ (Sentence 8, Para. 2) refers to which of the following?（A）Creating and passing on knowledge.（B） Drilling and learning by rote.（C） Disciplining students.（D）Developing moral principles.32

33、 According to the passage, the seminar system encouraged students to_.（A）discuss moral issues（B） study the classics, rhetoric, and music（C） study overseas（D）work more independently33 It can be inferred from the passage that before the 1850s, all of the following were characteristic of higher educati

34、on EXCEPT_.（A）the elective system（B） drilling（C） strict discipline（D）rote learning34 Those who favored the new university would be likely to agree with which of the following statements?（A）Learning is best achieved through discipline and drill.（B） Shaping the moral character of students should be th

35、e primary goal.（C） Higher education should prepare students to contribute to society.（D）Teachers should select their students courses.35 Why many American students decided to study aboard?（A）Because thousands of young Americans wanted to go to Germany to study.（B） Because young Americans were not sa

36、tisfied with their school system in the USA.（C） Because American professors were not as good as those abroad.（D）Because European universities were not connected with churches.36 What is the authors attitude to the new-model university?（A）Complementary.（B） Different.（C） Critical.（D）Object.36 The “sta

37、ndard of living“ of any country means the average persons share of the goods and services which the country produces. A countrys standard of living, therefore, depends first and foremost on its capacity to produce wealth. “Wealth“ in this sense is not money, for we do not live on money but on things

38、 that money can buy: “goods“ such as food and clothing, and “services“ such as transport and entertainment.A countrys capacity to produce wealth depends upon many factors, most of which have an effect on one another. Wealth depends to a great extent upon a countrys natural resources, such as coal, g

39、old, and other minerals, water supply and so on. Some regions of the world are well supplied with coal and minerals, and have a fertile soil and a favourable climate; other regions possess none of them.Next to natural resources comes the ability to turn them to use. Some countries are perhaps well o

40、ff in natural resources, but suffered for many years from civil and external wars, and for this and other reasons have been unable to develop their resources. Sound and stable political conditions, and freedom from foreign invasion, enable a country to develop its natural resources peacefully and st

41、eadily, and to produce more wealth than another country equally well served by nature but less well ordered. Another important factor is the technical efficiency of a countrys people. Industrialized countries that have trained numerous skilled workers and technicians are better placed to produce wea

42、lth than countries whose workers are largely unskilled.A countrys standard of living does not only depend upon the wealth that is produced and consumed within its own borders, but also upon what is indirectly produced through international trade. For example, Britains wealth in foodstuffs and other

43、agricultural products would be much less if she had to depend only on those grown at home. Trade makes it possible for her surplus manufactured goods to be traded abroad for the agricultural products that would otherwise be lacking. A countrys wealth is, therefore, much influenced by its manufacturi

44、ng capacity, provided that other countries can be found ready to accept its manufactures.37 The standard of living in a country is determined by_.（A）its goods and services（B） the type of wealth produced（C） how well it can create wealth（D）what an ordinary person can share38 A countrys wealth depends

45、upon_.（A）its standard of living（B） its living（C） its ability to provide goods and services（D）its ability to provide transport and entertainment39 A countrys capacity to produce wealth depends on all the factors EXCEPT_.（A）peoples share of its goods（B） political and social stability（C） qualities of i

46、ts workers（D）use of natural resources40 What is the main idea of the second paragraph?（A）A countrys wealth depends on many factors.（B） The US is one of the wealthiest countries in the world.（C） The Sahara desert is a poor region.（D）Natural recourses are an important factor in the wealth of a country

47、.41 Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?（A）Countries with numerous skilled craftsman and technicians are more likely to produce wealth.（B） People of a wealthy country are likely to have a higher living standard.（C） A country with rich natural resources is certainly

48、 wealthy.（D）A country capacity to produce wealth is subject to many factors.42 The word “civil“ in Paragraph 3 refers to wars that are_.（A）long-lasting（B） fought between one part of a country and another（C） short but frequent（D）carried out according to international laws42 After watching my mother d

49、eal with our family of five, I cant understand why her answer to the question, “What do you do?“ is always, “Oh, Im just a housewife.“ JUST a housewife? Anyone who spends most of her time in meal preparation and cleanup, washing and drying clothes, keeping the house clean, leading a scout troop, playing taxi driver to us kids when its time for school, music lessons or the dentist, doing volunteer work for her favorite charity, and making sure t
