17、 this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by a number of comprehension questions. Read the passages and choose the best answer to each question. Then, mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.37 The foreign student adviser (FSA) and members of hi
18、s or her staff provide a number of services important to all foreign students on campus. Duties of FSAs vary from campus to cam pus, but most are responsible for providing assistance on immigration matters, coordinating all campus and community services available to foreign students and serving as a
19、 liaison between foreign students and personnel on campus and in the community.Foreign student advisers are willing to discuss any matters with their foreign students- even extremely personal ones which in other societies might be discussed only in the family. All discussions with FSAs are kept in s
20、trict confidence, and if the advisers are unable to provide the assistance requested, they are prepared to refer you to the correct office or person, giving you some background about the person and advising you about how best to present your problem. In order for FSAs to provide the most effective a
21、ssistance, it is important that you contact them when you first become aware a problem might be developing rather than waiting until it has be come extremely serious.FSAs will help with all immigration matters-visa problems, transfers to other schools, extensions of stay, travel outside the United S

26、l community（D）U.S. college and university life42 The preschool movement can be traced back as far as the 4th century B.C. When Plato stressed the importance of early childhood, and the necessity of family co-operation. A study of ancient history reveals that some of the early philosophers, preachers
27、(布道师) and educational reformers considered the significance of parent-child relationships, and made plans for improved education for infants and young children. However, it is in the 17th century that early child hood education as we know it received its impetus(推进).In the history of education, seve
28、ral educational leaders have made valuable early contributions to the preschool movement. The pioneer work of Comenius, Rousseau, Basedow, Pestalozzi and Froebel in this field is particularly noteworthy. More recently, important additions were made by Montessori, Dewey, and others. Early in the 20th
29、 century, organized planning for preschool training led to the introduction of institutions designed specially for this purpose. In England, for example, the Consultation Committee of the Board of Education recommended good nursery schools to take care of children too young to attend regular schools
30、.The first preschools in America were adaptations of the English idea, differing however in aims, motives, and organization. The American preschool was promoted in the interest of psychological and educational research and was concerned with what could be learned from children rather than taught the
31、m. Social forces that prevailed in the country after 1890 further influenced their development. The number of schools increased rapidly following the close of World War I.42 Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?（A）The Early Contributions to the Preschool.（B） Education in Pa
32、rent-Child Relationships.（C） The Development of the Preschool Movement.（D）The First Preschools in America.43 The passage indicates that the preschool movement _.（A）was practiced even in ancient Greece and Rome（B） was not advanced until the 17th century（C） was first accepted in America in the 18th ce
33、ntury（D）was denied by Froebel44 According to the passage, Plato was _.（A）the forerunner of the preschool movement（B） a philosopher supporting a study of ancient history（C） a teacher insisting significance of education for parents（D）able to establish his school45 The passage indicates that Montessori
34、 and Dewey _.（A）contributed to the history of education（B） began the preschool movement（C） helped each other establish the nursery schools（D）completed the early education leaders contributions to the preschool movement46 According to the passage, in England the preschool movement _.（A）was not accept
35、ed by the Committee of the Board of Education（B） formed the nursery schools（C） promoted the ideas of Dewey（D）reconstructed the forms of regular schools47 What makes it rain? Rain falls from clouds for the same reason anything falls to Earth. The Earths gravity pulls it. But every cloud is made of wa
36、ter droplets or ice crystals. Why doesnt rain or snow fall constantly from all clouds? The droplets or ice crystals in clouds are exceedingly small. The effect of gravity on them is minute. Air currents move and lift droplets so that the net downward displacement is zero, even though the droplets ar
37、e in constant motion.Droplets and ice crystals behave somewhat like dust in the air made visible in a shaft of sunlight. To the casual observer, dust seems to act in a totally random fashion, moving about chaotically without fixed direction. But in fact dust particles are much larger than water drop
38、lets and they finally fall. The average size of a cloud droplet is only 0. 0004 inch in diameter. It is so small that it would take sixteen hours to fall half a mile in perfectly still air, and it does not fall out of moving air at all. Only when the droplet grows to a diameter of 0.008 inch or larg
39、er can it fall from the cloud. The average raindrop contains a million times as much water as a tiny cloud droplet. The growth of a cloud droplet to a size large enough to fall out is the cause of rain and other forms of precipitation. This important growth process is called “coalescence“.47 What is
40、 the main topic of the passage?（A）The mechanics of rain.（B） The weather patterns of North America.（C） How earths gravity affects agriculture.（D）Types of clouds.48 Ice crystals do NOT immediately fall to Earth because _.（A）they are kept aloft by air currents（B） they combine with other chemicals in th
41、e atmosphere（C） most of them evaporate（D）their electrical charges draw them away from the earth49 The word “random“ in Line 2, Para. 2 is closest in meaning to _.（A）unpredictable（B） perplexing（C） independent（D）abnormal50 What can be inferred about drops of water larger than 0. 008 inch in diameter?（
42、A）They never occur.（B） They are not affected by the force of gravity.（C） In still air they would fall to earth.（D）In moving air they fall at a speed of thirty-two miles per hour.51 In this passage, what does the term “coalescence“ refer to?（A）The gathering of small clouds to form larger clouds.（B） T
43、he growth of droplets.（C） The effect of gravity on precipitation.（D）The movement of dust particles in the sunlight.52 Like many of my generation, I have a weakness for hero worship. At some point, however, we all begin to question our heroes and our need for them. This leads us to ask. What is a her
44、o?Despite immense differences in cultures, heroes around the world generally share a number of Characteristics that instruct and inspire people.A hero does something worth talking about. A hero has a story of adventure to tell and a community who will listen. But a hero goes beyond mere fame.Heroes
45、serve powers or principles larger than themselves. Like high-voltage transformers, heroes take the energy of higher powers and step it down so that it can be used by ordinary people.The hero lives a life worthy of imitation. Those who imitate a genuine hero experience life with new depth, enthusiasm
46、, and meaning. A sure test for would-be heroes is what or whom do they serve? What are they willing to live and die for? If the answer or evidence suggests they serve only their own fame, they may be famous persons but not heroes. Madonna and Michael Jackson are famous, but who would claim that thei
47、r fans find life more abundant?Heroes are catalysts (催化剂) for change. They have a vision from the mountain top. They have the skill and the charm to move the masses. They create new possibilities. Without Gandhi, India might still be part of the British Empire. Without Rosa Parks and Martin Luther K
48、ing, Jr., we might still have segregated(隔离的) buses, restaurants, and parks. It may be possible for large scale change to occur without leaders with magnetic personalities, but the pace of change would be slow, the vision uncertain, and the committee meetings endless.52 Although heroes may come from
49、 different cultures, they _.（A）generally possess certain inspiring characteristics（B） probably share some weaknesses of ordinary people（C） are often influenced by previous generations（D）all unknowingly attract a large number of fans53 According to the passage, heroes are compared to high-voltage transformers in that _.（A）they have a vis
