17、your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 50 The president of a university acts as the institutions chief executive officer. Presidents usually have extensive academic experience as either college or university administrators. In some cases, they may be people of notable achievement outside of academic life.
18、For example, Dwight D. Eisenhower served as president of Columbia University in New York City from 1948 to 1950, after commanding the Allied forces in Europe during World War II (1939 1945). He was later elected the 34th president of the United States, in 1952. Presidents of colleges and universitie
19、s enforce the policies, regulations, and other procedures that govern their institution. They also meet with the board of trustees and make recommendations to the board regarding the government and policies of the school. They appoint and, if necessary, remove other officers of the institution, such
20、 as vice presidents or deans; they approve or disapprove new policies and procedures recommended by the institutions administrative and faculty committees; and they represent the college or university to the general public and to the institutions alumni. Depending on the size of the institution, a c
21、ollege or university will appoint a number of vice presidents to assist the president in running the school. The academic vice president is responsible for faculty appointments and dismissals and for approving or revising academic programs. Often the academic vice president is a former dean of a col
22、lege or other academic division within the institution. The institutions financial and budgetary matters are the responsibility of the vice president for finance. The vice president for student services is responsible for nonacademic matters relating to students, such as operating counseling service
23、s, residence halls, and student activities and organizations. The vice president for human resources is responsible for nonfaculty appointments such as the hiring of secretaries and personnel to maintain the grounds and other facilities. The academic deans are the chief executives and administrators
24、 of the various colleges or other academic divisions of an institution. For example, at a large university, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the College of Education, and the School of Law each have a dean who is appointed by the president or the academic vice president. Frequently, deans h
25、ave had experience as chairperson of academic departments in the institution. The responsibilities of deans typically include implementing policies established by the board of trustees and the president; preparing the budgets and overseeing the spending of funds within the academic division; supervi
26、sing the faculty; recommending faculty in their college or school to the academic vice president for appointment, promotion, tenure, or termination; and maintaining or increasing student enrollments in their college or school. 51 Which of the following official ranks is not introduced? （ A） Presiden
27、t of the university. （ B） Vice president of the university. （ C） Dean of the college. （ D） Dean of the department. 52 _must have academic achievement in certain subject. （ A） Presidents （ B） Vice presidents （ C） Academic vice presidents （ D） Deans 53 Which of the following statement is true? （ A） De

29、rvising the spending of funds within the college （ C） Recommending faculty to academic vice president for promotion （ D） Being charge of the enrollment of students 55 The word “alumni“ (in paragraph 2) means_. （ A） a male former student of a school, college or university （ B） a female former student
30、 of a school, college or university （ C） a former teacher of a school, college or university （ D） a former executive of a college or university 55 Imagine a world in which there was suddenly no emotion a world in which human beings could feel no love or happiness, no terror or hate. Try to imagine t
31、he consequences of such a transformation. People might not be able to stay alive: knowing neither joy nor pleasure, neither anxiety nor fear, they would be as likely to repeat acts that hurt them as acts that were beneficial. They could not learn: they could not benefit from experience because this
32、emotionless world would lack rewards and punishments. Society would soon disappear: people would be as likely to harm one another as to provide help and support. Human relationships would not exist; in a world without friends or enemies, there could be no marriage, affection among companions, or bon
33、ds among members of groups. Society s economic underpinnings would be destroyed; since earning $ 10 million would be no more pleasant than earning $ 10, there would be no incentive to work. In fact, there would be no incentives of any kind. For as we will see, incentives imply a capacity to enjoy th
34、em. In such a world, the chances that the human species would survive are next to zero, because emotions are the basic instrument of our survival and adaptation. Emotions structure the world for us in important ways. As individuals, we categorize objects on the basis of our emotions. True we conside
35、r the length, shape, size, or texture, but an objects physical aspects are less important than what it has done or can do to us hurt us, surprise us, anger us or make us joyful. We also use categorizations colored by emotions in our families, communities, and overall society. Out of our emotional ex
36、periences with objects and events comes a social feeling of agreement that certain things and actions are “good“ and others are “bad“, and we apply these categories to every aspect of our social life from what foods we eat and what clothes we wear to how we keep promises and which people our group w
37、ill accept. In fact, society exploits our emotional reactions and attitudes, such as loyalty, morality, pride, shame, guilt, fear and greed, in order to maintain itself. It gives high rewards to individuals who perform important tasks such as surgery, makes heroes out of individuals for unusual or d
38、angerous achievements such as flying fighter planes in a war, and uses the legal and penal system to make people afraid to engage in an antisocial acts. 56 The reason why people might not be able to stay alive in a world without emotion is that （ A） they would not be able to tell the texture of obje
39、cts （ B） they would not know what was beneficial and what was harmful to them （ C） they would not be happy with a life without love （ D） they would do things that hurt each others feelings 57 According to the passage, peoples learning activities are possible because they （ A） believe that emotions a
40、re fundamental for them to stay alive （ B） benefit from providing help and support to one another （ C） enjoy being rewarded for doing the right thing （ D） know what is vital to the progress of society 58 It can be inferred from the passage that the economic foundation of society is dependent on_. （
41、A） the ability to make money （ B） the will to work for pleasure （ C） the capacity to enjoy incentives （ D） the categorizations of our emotional experiences 59 Emotions are significant for mans survival and adaptation because_. （ A） they provide the means by which people view the size or shape of obj
42、ects （ B） they are the basis for the social feeling of agreement by which society is maintained （ C） they encourage people to perform dangerous achievements （ D） they generate more love than hate among people 60 The emotional aspects of an object are more important than its physical aspects in that
43、they_. （ A） help society exploit its members for profit （ B） encourage us to perform important tasks （ C） help to perfect the legal and penal system （ D） help us adapt our behavior to the world surrounding us 60 A new era is upon us. Call it what you will: the service economy, the information age, t
44、he knowledge society. It all translates to a fundamental change in the way we work. Already we re partly there. The percentage of people who earn their living by making things has fallen dramatically in the Western world. Today the majority of jobs in America, Europe and Japan(two thirds or more in
45、many of these countries) are in the service industry, and the number is on the rise. More women are in the work force than ever before. There are more part-time jobs. More people are self employed. But the breadth of the economic transformation cant be measured by numbers alone, because it also is g
46、iving rise to a radical new way of thinking about the nature of work itself. Long held notions about jobs and careers, the skills needed to succeed, even the relation between individuals and employers of all these are being challenged. We have only to look behind us to get some sense of what may lie
47、 ahead. No one looking ahead 20 years possibly could have foreseen the ways in which a single invention, the chip, would transform our world thanks to its applications in personal computers, digital communications and factory robots. Tomorrow s achievements in biotechnology, artificial intelligence
48、or even some still unimagined technology could produce a similar wave of dramatic changes. But one thing is certain; information and knowledge will become even more vital, and the people who possess it, whether they work in manufacturing or services, will have the advantage and produce the wealth. C
49、omputer knowledge will become as basic a requirement as the ability to read and write. The ability to solve problems by applying information instead of performing routine tasks will be valued above all else. If you cast your mind ahead 10 years, information services will be predominant. It will be the way you do your job. 61 A characteristic of the information age is that_. （ A） the service industry is relying more and more on the female work force （ B） manufac
