23、 over（D）off60 Normally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and each course that he attends gives him a credit(学分) which he may count towards a degree. In many American universities the total work for a degree consists of thirty-six courses, each lasting for one se
24、mester. 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 semesters each year. It is possible for a student to
25、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 show to future employers. All this imposes a constant
26、 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 usually perform the effective work of maintaining discip
27、line (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 of the system does involve a certain amount of act
28、ivity. 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.61 Normally a student would at least attend_classes each week.（A）36（B） 12（C） 20（D）1562 According to the first paragraph an American student is allowed_.（A）to live

32、students performance by bringing them before court（D）keeping up the students enthusiasm for social activities65 Large companies need a way to reach the saving of the public at large(大多数，整个). The same problem, on a small seals, faces practically every company trying to develop new products and create
33、 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 permanent basis for long-term projects. So companies turn to the public, inviti
34、ng 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 they can put into circulation(流通) the savings of individuals and institutions, b
35、oth 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.Many of the services needed both by industry and by each of us are provided by th
36、e 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 are to serve us properly, requiring more money than is raised through taxes alone
37、. 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 this country whose job or whose standard of living does not depend on the ability
38、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 savings can reach those who need finance.66 Almost all companies involved in new
39、production and development must_.（A）rely on their own financial resources（B） persuade the banks to provide long-term finance（C） borrow large sums of money from friends and people they know（D）depend on the population as a whole for finance67 The money which enables these companies to go ahead with th
40、eir projects is（A）repaid to its original owners as soon as possible（B） raised by the selling of shares in the companies（C） exchanged for part ownership in the Stock Exchange（D）invested in different companies on the Stock Exchange68 When the savers want their money back they j_.（A）ask another company
41、 to obtain their money for them（B） look for other people to borrow money from（C） put their shares in the company back on the market（D）transfer their money to a more successful company69 All the essential services on which we depend are_.（A）run by the Government or our local authorities（B） in constan
42、t need of financial support（C） financed wholly by rates and taxes（D）unable to provide for the needs of the population70 The Stock Exchange makes it possible for the Government, local authorities and nationalized industries_.（A）to borrow as much money as they wish（B） to make certain everybody saves m
43、oney（C） to raise money to finance new development（D）to make certain everybody lends money to them70 Auctions(拍卖)are public sales of goods, conducted by an officially approved auctioneer (拍卖人).He asked the crowd to gather in the auction room to bid (出价)for various items on sale. He encourages buyers
44、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 a raised platform.The ancient Romans probably invented sales by auction, and the English word comes from th
45、e 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 ground as a signal for a crowd to gather.In England in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries goods were ofte
46、n 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, wool, tea, cocoa, furs, fruit, vegetables and wines. Action sales are also usual for land and property, antiqu
47、e 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 viewed by the buyers. If the advertisement cannot give full details, catalogues are printed, and each group of g
48、oods 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 fact that certain buyers are in the room and then produce the lots they are likely to be interested in.71 Auctioned
49、 goods are sold_.（A）for the highest price offered（B） at fixed prices（C） at prices lower than their true value（D）at prices offered by the auctioneer72 The end of the bidding is called“ knocking down“ because _.（A）The auctioneer knocks on the table（B） The auctioneer names the highest bidder as the buyer of the goods（
