In many American universities the total work for a degree consi
24、sts of thirty-six courses, each lasting for one semester. A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks; while attending a university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester. Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two sem
25、esters each year. It is possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not in fact done as a regular practice. For every course that he follows a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the record is available for the student to sh
26、ow to future employers. All this imposes a constant pressure and strain of work, but in spite of this , some students still find time for great activity in student affairs. Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm (热情). Students who advise the academic authorities usual
27、ly perform the effective work of maintaining discipline (纪律) is usually performed by students who advise the academic authorities. Any student, who is thought to have broken the rules, for example by cheating, has to appear before a student court. With the enormous numbers of students, the operation
28、 of the system does involve a certain amount of activity. A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career.（分数：10.00）(1).Normally a student would at least attend_classes each week.（分数：2.00）A.36B.12C.20D.15(2).According

32、 the universityB.ensuring the students observe university regulationsC.evaluating students performance by bringing them before courtD.keeping up the students enthusiasm for social activitiesLarge companies need a way to reach the saving of the public at large(大多数，整个). The same problem, on a small se
33、als, faces practically every company trying to develop new products and create new jobs . There can be little prospect of raising(筹集) the sort of sums needed from friends and people we know, and while banks may agree to provide short-term finance, they are generally unwilling to provide money on a p
34、ermanent basis for long-term projects. So companies turn to the public, inviting people to lend them money, or take a share in the business in exchange for a share in future profits. They do this by issuing(发行) stocks and shares in the business through the Stock Exchange (证券交易所). By doing that so th
35、ey can put into circulation(流通) the savings of individuals and institutions, both at home and overseas. When the saver needs his money back, he does not have to go to the company with whom he originally placed it. Instead, he sells his shares to some other saver who is seeking to invest his money. M
36、any of the services needed both by industry and by each of us are provided by the Government or by local authorities. Without hospitals, roads, electricity, telephones, railways, this country could not function(运作). All these require continuous spending on new equipment and new development if they a
37、re to serve us properly, requiring more money than is raised through taxes alone. The government, local authorities, and nationalized industries therefore frequently need to borrow money to finance major capital spending, and they, too, come to the Stock Exchange. There is hardly a man or woman in t
38、his country whose job or whose standard of living does not depend on the ability of his or her employers to raise money to finance new development. In one way or another this new money must come from the savings of the country. The Stock Exchange exists to provide a channel (渠道) through which these
39、savings can reach those who need finance.（分数：10.00）(1).Almost all companies involved in new production and development must_.（分数：2.00）A.rely on their own financial resourcesB.persuade the banks to provide long-term financeC.borrow large sums of money from friends and people they knowD.depend on the
40、population as a whole for finance(2).The money which enables these companies to go ahead with their projects is（分数：2.00）A.repaid to its original owners as soon as possibleB.raised by the selling of shares in the companiesC.exchanged for part ownership in the Stock ExchangeD.invested in different com
41、panies on the Stock Exchange(3).When the savers want their money back they j_.（分数：2.00）A.ask another company to obtain their money for themB.look for other people to borrow money fromC.put their shares in the company back on the marketD.transfer their money to a more successful company(4).All the es
42、sential services on which we depend are_.（分数：2.00）A.run by the Government or our local authoritiesB.in constant need of financial supportC.financed wholly by rates and taxesD.unable to provide for the needs of the population(5).The Stock Exchange makes it possible for the Government, local authoriti
43、es and nationalized industries_.（分数：2.00）A.to borrow as much money as they wishB.to make certain everybody saves moneyC.to raise money to finance new developmentD.to make certain everybody lends money to themAuctions(拍卖)are public sales of goods, conducted by an officially approved auctioneer (拍卖人).
44、He asked the crowd to gather in the auction room to bid (出价)for various items on sale. He encourages buyers to bid higher figures, and finally names the highest bidder as the buyer of the goods. This is called“knocking down“ the goods, for the bidding ends when the auctioneer bangs a small hammer on
45、 a raised platform. The ancient Romans probably invented sales by auction, and the English word comes from the Latin“ anctic“ meaning“increase“. The Romans usually sold in this way the spoils taken in war, these sales were called“ sub hasta“ , meaning“ under the spear“ , a spear being stuck in the g
46、round as a signal for a crowd to gather. In England in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries goods were often sold“ by the candle“ ; a short candle was lit by the auctioneer, and bids could be made while it , was burning. Practically all goods can be sold by auction. Among these are coffee, skins,
47、 wool, tea, cocoa, furs, fruit, vegetables and wines. Action sales are also usual for land and property, antique furniture, pictures, rare books, old china, and works of art. An auction is usually advertised before hand with full particulars of the articles to be sold and where and when they can be
48、viewed by the buyers. If the advertisement cannot give full details, catalogues are printed, and each group of goods to be sold together, called a“lot“(件，组) , is usually given a number. The auctioneer need, not begin with Lot One and continue the numerical order; he may wait until he notices the fac
49、t that certain buyers are in the room and then produce the lots they are likely to be interested in.（分数：10.00）(1).Auctioned goods are sold_.（分数：2.00）A.for the highest price offeredB.at fixed pricesC.at prices lower than their true valueD.at prices offered by the auctioneer(2).The end of the bidding is called“ knocking down“ bec
