B evening dinner is available（A）every Saturday（B） every Sunday（C） every Wednesday（D）every day21 According to a survey, which was based on the responses of over 188,000 students, todays traditional-age college freshmen are “more materialistic
18、 and less altruistic(利他主义的)“than at any time in the 17 years of the poll.Not surprising in these hard times, the students major objective “is to be financially well off. Less important than ever is developing a meaningful philosophy of life“. It follows then that today the most popular course is not
19、 literature or history but accounting.Interest in teaching, social service and the “altruistic“ fields is at a low. On the other hand, enrollment in business programs, engineering and computer science is way up.Thats no surprise either. A friend of mine (a sales representative for a chemical company
20、) was making twice the salary of her college instructors her first year on the jobeven before she completed her two-year associate degree.While its true that we all need a career, it is equally true that our civilization has accumulated an incredible amount of knowledge in fields far removed from ou
21、r own and that we are better for our understanding of these other contributions- be they scientific or artistic. It is equally true that, in studying the diverse wisdom of others, we learn how to think. More important, perhaps, education teaches us to see the connections between things, as well as t
22、o see beyond our immediate needs.Weekly we read of unions who went on strike for higher wages, only to drive their employer out of business. No company; no job. How shortsighted in the long run!But the most important argument for a broad education is that in studying the accumulated wisdom of the ag
23、es, we improve our moral sense. I saw a cartoon recently which shows a group of businessmen looking puzzled as they sit around a conference table; one of them is talking on the intercom(对讲机): “Miss Baxter“, he says, “could you please send in someone who can distinguish right from wrong?“From the lon
24、g-term point of view, thats what education really ought to be about.21 According to the authors observation, college students _.（A）have never been so materialistic as today（B） have never been so interested in the arts（C） have never been so financially well off as today（D）have never attached so much
25、importance to mutual sense22 The students criteria for selecting majors today have much to do with _.（A）the influences of their instructors（B） the financial goals they seek in life（C） their own interpretations of the courses（D）their understanding of the contributions of others23 By saying “While its
26、 true thatbe they scientific or artistic“ (Lines 1-3, Para. 5), the author means that _.（A）business management should be included in educational programs（B） human wisdom has accumulated at an extraordinarily high speed（C） human intellectual development has reached new heights（D）the importance of a b
27、road education should not be overlooked24 Studying the diverse wisdom of others can _.（A）create varying artistic interests（B） help people see things in their right perspective（C） help improve connections among people（D）regulate the behavior of modern people25 Which of the following statements is tru
28、e according to the passage?（A）Businessmen absorbed in their career are narrow-minded.（B） Managers often find it hard to tell right from wrong.（C） People engaged in technical jobs lead a more rewarding life.（D）Career seekers should not focus on immediate interests only.25 After the violent earthquake
29、 that shook Los Angeles in 1994, earthquake scientists had good news to report: the damage and death toll could have been much worse.More than 60 people died in this earthquake. By comparison, an earthquake of similar intensity that shook America in 1988 claimed 25, 000 victims.Injuries and deaths w
30、ere relatively less in Los Angeles because the quake occurred at 4:31 a.m. on a holiday, when traffic was light on the citys highways. In addition, changes made to the construction codes in Los Angeles during the last 20 years have strengthened the citys buildings and highways, making them more resi
31、stant to quakes.Despite the good news, civil engineers are not resting on their successes. Pinned to their drawing boards are blueprints for improved quake-resistant buildings. The new designs should offer even greater security to cities where earthquakes often take place.In the past, making structu
32、res quake-resistant meant firm yet flexible materials, such as steel and wood, that bend without breaking. Later, people tried to lift a building off its foundation, and insert rubber and steel between the building and its foundation to reduce the impact of ground vibrations. The most recent designs
33、 give buildings brains as well as concrete and steel supports, called smart buildings. The structures respond like living organisms to an earthquakes vibrations. When the ground shakes and the building tips forward, the computer would force the building to shift in the opposite direction.The new sma
34、rt structures could be very expensive to build. However, they would save many lives and would be less likely to be damaged during earthquakes. 26 One reason why the loss of lives in the Los Angeles earthquake was comparatively low is that _.（A）new computers had been installed in the buildings（B） it
35、occurred in the residential areas rather than on the highways（C） large numbers of Los Angeles residents had gone for a holiday（D）improvements had been made in the construction of buildings and highways27 The function of the computer mentioned in the passage is to _.（A）counterbalance an earthquakes a
36、ction on the building（B） predict the coming of an earthquake with accuracy（C） help strengthen the foundation of the building（D）measure the impact of an earthquakes vibrations28 The smart buildings discussed in the passage _.（A）would cause serious financial problems（B） would be worthwhile though cost
37、ly（C） would increase the complexity of architectural design（D）can reduce the ground vibrations caused by earthquakes29 It can be inferred from the passage that in minimizing the damage caused by earthquakes attention should be focused on _.（A）the increasing use of rubber and steel in capital constru
38、ction（B） the development of flexible building materials（C） the reduction of the impact of ground vibrations（D）early forecasts of earthquakes30 The authors main purpose in writing the passage is to _.（A）compare the consequences of the earthquakes that occurred in the U.S.（B） encourage civil engineers
39、 to make more extensive use of computers（C） outline the history of the development of quake-resistant building materials（D）report new developments in constructing quake-resistant building三、Part III ClozeDirections: There are ten blanks in the following passage.
