Choose the best one and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square brackets on your machine-scoring BANSWER SHEET/B./IBPassage One/BBefore the 1850s the United States had a number of small colleges, most of them d
23、ating from colonial days. They were small, church-connected 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 de
24、veloped. The German university was concerned primarily with 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 beco
25、me presidents of venerable (受人尊敬的) collegesHarvard, Yale, 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 a
26、nd had a strong arm for disciplining students. The new principle 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 professo
27、rs own research was presented in class. Graduate training 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
28、research.At the same time, the new university greatly expanded 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 o
29、wn courses of study. The notion of major fields of study 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
30、the most characteristic of the new regime. Students were also trained as economists, architects, agriculturalists, social welfare workers, and teachers.（分数：6.00）(1).The word “this“ (Sentence 8, Para. 2) refers to which of the following?（分数：1.00）A.Creating and passing on knowledge.B.Drilling and lear
31、ning by rote.C.Disciplining students.D.Developing moral principles.(2).According to the passage, the seminar system encouraged students to_.（分数：1.00）A.discuss moral issuesB.study the classics, rhetoric, and musicC.study overseasD.work more independently(3).It can be inferred from the passage that be
32、fore the 1850s, all of the following were characteristic of higher education EXCEPT_.（分数：1.00）A.the elective systemB.drillingC.strict disciplineD.rote learning(4).Those who favored the new university would be likely to agree with which of the following statements?（分数：1.00）A.Learning is best achieved
33、 through discipline and drill.B.Shaping the moral character of students should be the primary goal.C.Higher education should prepare students to contribute to society.D.Teachers should select their students courses.(6).What is the authors attitude to the new-model university?（分数：1.00）A.Complementary
34、.B.Different.C.Critical.D.Object.BPassage Two/BThe “standard 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
35、is not money, for we do not live on money but on things 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 ex
36、tent upon a countrys natural resources, such as coal, gold, 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
37、 to turn them to use. Some countries are perhaps well off 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 cou
38、ntry to develop its natural resources peacefully and steadily, 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 w
39、orkers and technicians are better placed to produce wealth 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
40、. For example, Britains wealth in foodstuffs and other 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 w
41、ealth is, therefore, much influenced by its manufacturing capacity, provided that other countries can be found ready to accept its manufactures.（分数：6.00）(1).The standard of living in a country is determined by_.（分数：1.00）A.its goods and servicesB.the type of wealth producedC.how well it can create we
42、althD.what an ordinary person can share(2).A countrys wealth depends upon_.（分数：1.00）A.its standard of livingB.its livingC.its ability to provide goods and servicesD.its ability to provide transport and entertainment(3).A countrys capacity to produce wealth depends on all the factors EXCEPT_.（分数：1.00
43、）A.peoples share of its goodsB.political and social stabilityC.qualities of its workersD.use of natural resources(4).What is the main idea of the second paragraph?（分数：1.00）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 po
44、or region.D.Natural recourses are an important factor in the wealth of a country.(5).Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?（分数：1.00）A.Countries with numerous skilled craftsman and technicians are more likely to produce wealth.B.People of a wealthy country are likely
45、to have a higher living standard.C.A country with rich natural resources is certainly wealthy.D.A country capacity to produce wealth is subject to many factors.(6).The word “civil“ in Paragraph 3 refers to wars that are_.（分数：1.00）A.long-lastingB.fought between one part of a country and anotherC.shor
46、t but frequentD.carried out according to international lawsBPassage Three/BAfter watching my mother deal 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 pre

48、ewife. Shes the real Wonder Woman.Why is it that so many mothers like mine think of themselves as second-class or something similar? Where has this notion come from? Have we males made them feel this way? Has our society made “going to work“ outside the home seem more important than what a housewife
49、 must face each day?I would be very curious to see what would happen if a housewife went on strike. Dishes would pile up. Food in the house would run out. No meals would appear on the table. There would be no clean clothes when needed. High boots would be required just to make it through the house scattered with garbage. Walking and bus riding woul
