Normally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and each course which

19、he attends gives him a credit 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 semester. A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks. While attending a university a student wi

20、ll 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 to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period. It is also possible for a student to move between one university and an

21、other 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 prospective employers. All this imposes pressure from the strain of work, but

22、in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs. Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm. The effective work of maintaining discipline is usually performed by students who advise the academic authorities. Any student who is thought

23、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 activity. A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefi

24、t to him or her later in his or her career. (本题分数：10分。)(1). Normally a student would at least attend _B_ classes each week （2 分）A、10 B、 12C、 15D、 20(2).

The tired mind gathers new energy. Once awake, the memory improves, and annoyance and problems are seen in a better perspec

29、tive. Some adults require little sleep; others need eight to ten hours in every twenty-four. Infants sleep sixteen to eighteen hours daily and, as they grow older, the amount gradually diminishes. Young students may need twelve hours; university students may need ten. A worker with a physically dema

30、nding job may also need ten, whereas an executive worker under great pressure may manage on six to eight. Many famous people are reputed to have required little sleep. Napoleon, Thomas Edison and Charles Darwin apparently averaged only four to six hours a night. Whatever your individual need, you ca

31、n be sure that by the age of thirty you will have slept for a total of more than twelve years. By that age you will also have developed a sleep routine: a favorite hour, a favorite bed, a favorite position, and a formula you need to follow in order to rest comfortably. Investigators have tried to fi

32、nd out how long a person can go without sleep. Several people have reached more than 115 hours ?nearly five days, whereas animals kept awake for from five to eight days have died of exhaustion. The limit for human beings is probably about a week. (本题分数：10分。)(1). The writer implies that _A_ （2 分）A、sl

33、eep is important for good mental and physical health B、a light sleep is as restful as a deep sleep C、memory is improved during sleep D、sleep is relatively unimportant for human beings (2).

34、eat men B、 they were executive workers C、 they were intelligent people D、 they were involved in mentally demanding work(3). The amount of sleep required _D_. （2 分）A、varies greatly from individual to individual B、 depends on an individuals age C、 relates to an individuals occupation D、 all of the abo

35、ve.(4). According to the passage, the sleeping routine will be built at the age of _C_. （2 分）A、10 B、20 C、30D、40(5). From animal experiments, we can conclude that the final result of the lack of sleep is probably _D_ （2 分）A、mental illness B、mental breakdown C、susceptibility to illnessD、death3. The pe

36、n is more powerful than the sword (剑). There have been many writers who used their pens to fight things that were wrong. Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe was one of them. She was born in the USA in 1811. One of her books not only made her famous but has been described as one that excited the world, and wa

37、s helpful in causing a civil war and freezing the slaves. The civil war was the American Civil War of 1861, in which the Northern States fought the Southern States and finally won. This book was named Uncle Toms Cabin. There was time when every English-speaking man, woman, and child has read this no

38、vel that did so much to stop slavery. Not many people read it today, but it is still very interesting. The book has shown us how a warm-hearted writer can arouse (唤起) peoples sympathies (同情). The writer herself had neither been to the Southern States nor been a slave. The Southern Americans were ver

39、y angry at the novel, which they said did not at all represent (代表) true state of affairs, but the Northern Americans were wildly excited over it and were so inspired (激励) by it that they-were ready to go to war to set the slaves free.

40、ish-speaking person had read Uncle Toms Cabin B、Uncle Toms Cabin was not very interesting C、those who dont speak English can not have read Uncle Toms CabinD、 the book Uncle Toms Cabin did a great deal in the American Civil War(2).

42、d set the slaves free. C、She was better as writing as using a sword.D、She had once been a slave.(4). Why could Mrs. Stowes book cause a civil war in America?

In 1955, a man named Raymond Kroc entered a partnership with two brothers named McDonald. They opened a popular restaurant in California which sold food that was easy to prepar

45、e and serve quickly. Hamburgers, French fries, and cold drinks were the main food there. Kroc opened similar eating places under the same name, McDonalds, and they were an instant success. He later took over the company, and today it is one of the most famous and successful fast-food in America and

46、the world. Why was his idea so successful? Probably the most important reason was that this timing was right. In the 1950s, most married women stayed home to keep house and take care of their children. In the 1960s, many women returned to the workplace. This meant they had less time and energy to do

47、 housework and preparation of meals, so they relied more on TV dinners and fast-food restaurant. Single parents also have little time to spend in the kitchen. People living alone also depend on this type of food, since cooking for one is often more trouble than it is worth. Fast-food is not part of

48、the diet of all Americans. Another trend of the 1960s, sometimes called the back-to-nature movement influenced many people to avoid food that was packaged or processed. The preference for natural foods continues to this day.From the success of Raymond Krocs fast-food business, we can say that social

49、 economic trends influence where and what we eat. (本题分数：10分。)(1). Cooking for one is more trouble than it is worth means (B ).（2 分）A、cooking for several people is worth more moneyB、it is not necessary to take too much time to cook for one personC、there are more problems when one person cooksD、there

50、are a lot of housework and preparation to do when one person cooks(2). An idea implied but not directly stated (陈述) in the reading is that (D ).（2 分）A、many married women began to work in the 1960sB、natural foods are still popular todayC、fast food is not part of the diet of all AmericansD、divorce causes people to change their eating habits(3). Americans had the movements (C ).（2 分）A、in 1955
