27、30%ABefore the 1850s, the United States had a number of small colleges. They were small, church connected institutions whose primary concern was to shape the moral character of their students.In Germany, universities at that time were concerned primarily with creating and spreading knowledge, not mo

28、rals. Between mid-century and the end of the 1800s, more than 9,000 young Americans, dissatisfied with their training at home, went to Germany for advanced study. Some of them returned to become presidents of old colleges Harvard, Yale, Columbia and transform them into modern universities. The new p

29、residents broke all ties with the churches and brought in a new kind of faculty(职能). Professors were hired for their knowledge of a subject, not because they were of the proper faith and had a strong arm for disciplining students. The new principle was that a university was to create knowledge. Dril

30、ling and learning by rote were replaced by the German method of lecturing, in which the professors own research was presented in class. Graduate training leading to the Ph. D. was introduced. With the establishment of the seminar system, graduate students learned to question, analyze, and conduct th

31、eir own research.At the same time, the new university greatly expanded in size and courses offering, breaking completely out of the old, constricted courses of mathematics, classics, rhetoric(修辞学) and music. The president of Harvard pioneered the elective system, by which students were able to choos

32、e their own courses of study. The idea of major fields of study appeared. The new goal was to make the university relevant to the real pursuits(事业) of the world. Paying close attention to the practical needs of society, the new universities trained men and women to work at its tasks, and engineering

33、 students become the most common in the new regime(体制). Students were also trained as economists, architects, agriculturalists, social welfare workers, and teachers.56. What was the purpose of the German university in the 19th century? A. To shape the moral character of their students. B. To train m

34、en and women to work at its tasks. C. To create and spread knowledge. D. To learn to question, analyze and conduct their own research.57. Which of the following descriptions of modern American universities is WRONG? A. They broke all ties with the churches. B. The teachers of these universities shap

35、ed the moral character of the students. C. To create and spread knowledge was the new principle. D. They established the seminar system in learning.58. According to the passage, which of the following subjects could be found in the early small colleges of America? A. Mathematics and music.B. Mathema

In Columbia University. C. In Yale University.D. In Harvard University.60. Whats the best title of the passage? A. The devel

37、opment of American universities. B. The connection between American and European universities. C. Education in American universities. D. The system of American universities.BNo one has enough, but everyone has all there is. We each have just twenty-four hours in a day. Time is not our problems, but

38、what we do with the limited time we have is the issue.Many people spend their days on dozens of activities, but achieve very little because they aren t concentrating on right things. The Pareto Principle, also known as the 80:20 Rule shows us that typically eighty percent of unfocused effort generat

39、es only twenty per cent of the results. The remaining eighty per cent of the results are achieved with only twenty per cent of the effort. To effectively manage your time, you need to change where you are spending your time.We all have the same amount of time every day. How you spend your time is ho

40、w you spend your life. Here are time management strategies, which may be helpful:Learn to say noPolitely saying no should become a habit. Saying no frees up time for the things that are most important.Make a “to-do” listList the tasks that need to be done in order of their importance. Save other les

41、s important things for when you have time.Minimize interruptionsPlan ahead. Think through projects. Look for ways to “block” interruptions. For example, close your door; dont answer the phone or work in a different space.Combine several activitiesTry to do several activities at one time. While going

42、 to school, listen to taped notes. This allows up to an hour or two a day of good study review. While showering, make a mental list of the things that need to be done. These are just suggestions of what you can do to save your time, but there are many others. Above all, be creative, and let it work

43、for you.61. According to the Pareto Principle, we can know that . A. people can t achieve a lot even though they concentrate on right things B. people should focus more effort on right and important things and finish them first C. people are certain to succeed if they spend twenty per cent of their

46、iddle-income countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America. Robert Black from the Bloomberg School of Public Health at Johns Hopkins University in Maryland was the leading writer of the research. He says more than 3.5 million mothers and children under five die in poor countries each year because of h

47、unger.He says more than two million children die from underdevelopment, either before or after birth. Millions of others who survive face a lifetime of disabilities or early death. And the effects are not just physical. Poor brain development can limit economic success as children become adults. The

48、n the cycle of poverty and hunger often repeats for their children.Doctor Black says hungry children are also more likely to have conditions like high blood pressure and heart disease as adults. He says the studies show that food programs need to place the greatest importance on the first two years

49、of life. Hungry children can suffer the whole life damage from age two.So it is high time to improve their diets. Diets should include foods rich in vitamin A and other useful things. The researchers say early help like these could reduce child deaths by 25%.The research has faced some criticism. A

50、medical aid group says the researchers underestimate(低估)the number of child deaths from hunger.

55、st that oil price would reach $100 a barrel were seen as doomsters(预言灾难者). However, now some are predicting $200 a barrel.Had economists been told that oil price would barely pause at $100 before reaching the recent peak of nearly $127, they would no doubt have forecast terrible economic consequence

56、s. But the global economy, though interrupted by the high price of energy, is still chugging along. Meanwhile, inflation has picked up, but the headline rates of inflation(总体通货膨胀率) in most developed countries are nowhere near the levels seen in the 1970s and 1980s.There are three explanations for the oil prices unclear impact. The first is that nowadays developed economies are more efficient in their use of energy, thanks partly to the incr
