Many teache
12、rs believe that the responsibility for learning lies with the students. If a long reading assignment is given，instructors expect students to be familiar with the information in the reading even if they do not discuss it in class or give an examination. (Courses are not designed merely for students t
13、o pass exams). The ideal student is considered to be one who is motivated to learn for the sake of learning，not the one interested only in getting high grades. Grade-conscious students may be frustrated with teachers who do not believe it is necessary to grade every assignment. Sometimes homework is
14、 returned with brief written comments but without a grade. Even if a grade is not given，the student is responsible for learning the material assigned. When research is assigned，the professor expects the student to take the initiative and to complete the assignment with minimal guidance. It is the st
15、udents responsibility to find books，periodicals，and articles in the library. Professors do not have the time to explain how a university library works，they expect students，particularly graduate students，to be able to exhaust the reference sources in the library. Professors will help students who nee
16、d it，but prefer that their students not be overly dependent on them. (This differs from teacher-student relationships in other countries. )In the United States，professors have other duties besides teaching. Often they are responsible for administrative work within their departments. In addition，they
17、 may be obliged to publish articles and books. Therefore the time that a professor can spend with a student outside of class is limited. If a student has problems with classroom work，the student should either approach a professor during office hours or make an appointment. （分数：10.00）(1).“Courses are
18、 not designed merely for students to pass exams. ”This means teachers_.（分数：2.00）A.want students to fail examsB.care only about exam gradesC.believe that passing exams is not the only purpose of a courseD.design courses for lectures only(2).Professors in the United States usually expect the students_
19、.（分数：2.00）A.to know all the answersB.never to seek their adviceC.to take the initiative and be independentD.to work together(3).The main idea of this passage is that students should_.（分数：2.00）A.learn independentlyB.learn under close guidance of their professorsC.learn cooperativelyD.not learn mainly
20、 for high grades(4).If a student has a problem with classroom work，he or she should_.（分数：2.00）A.make an appointment with the professor a week beforeB.approach a professor after classC.seek the professors help in his officeD.go to the professors apartment(5).What is considered to be a good student?He
21、 is the one who_.（分数：2.00）A.aims at getting good scoresB.is planning to get a degreeC.is capable of memorizing knowledgeD.has the motivation to learnPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage. Certain animals and plants develop characteristics(特性)that help them cope with their
22、environment better than others of their kind. This natural biological process is called adaptation(适应性). Among the superior characteristics developed through adaptation are those that may help in getting food or shelter，in providing protection，and in producing and protecting the young. That results
23、in the evolution of more and more organisms that are better fitted to their environments. Each living thing is adapted to its way of life in a general way，but each is adapted especially to its own distinct class. A plant，for example，depends upon its roots to fix itself firmly and to absorb water and
24、 inorganic chemicals. It depends upon its green leaves for using the suns energy to make food from inorganic chemicals. These are general adaptations，common to most plants. In addition，there are special adaptations that only certain kinds of plants have. Many animals have adaptations that help them
25、escape from their enemies. Some insects are hidden by their body color or shape，and many look like a leaf or a little branch. The coats of deer are colored to mix with the surroundings. Many animals have the ability to remain completely still when an enemy is near. Organisms have a great variety of
26、ways for adapting. They may adapt in their structure，function，and genetics(遗传素质)；in their development and production of the young；and in other respects. An organism may create its own environment，as do warm-blooded mammals. which have the ability to adjust body heat exactly to maintain their ideal t
27、emperature despite changing weather. Usually adaptations are an advantage，but sometimes an organism is so well adapted to a particular environment that，if conditions Change，it finds it difficult or impossible to readapt to the new conditions. （分数：10.00）(1).Some plants and animals develop superior ch

32、.the special way of life of each living thingD.the hows and whys of the structures of organismsPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage. In the late 1960s many people in North America turned their attention to environmental problems，and new steel-and-glass skyscrapers(摩天楼)w
33、ere widely criticized. Scientists pointed out that blocks of tall buildings in a city often overburdens. public transportation and parking lot capacities. Skyscrapers are also big consumers，and wasters，of electric power. In one recent year. the addition of 17 million square feet of skyscraper office
34、 space in New York City raised the peak daily demand for electricity by 120，000 kilowatts-enough to supply the entire city of Albany，New York，for a day. Glass-walled skyscrapers can be especially wasteful. The heat loss(or gain)through a wall of half-inch plate glass is more than ten times that thro
35、ugh a typical brick wall filled with insulation board. To lessen the strain on heating and air-conditioning equipment，builders of skyscrapers have begun to use double-glazed(装上玻璃的)panels of glass，and reflective glasses coated with silver or gold mirror films that reduce glare as well as heat gain. H
36、owever. mirror-walled skyscrapers raise the temperature of the surrounding air and affect neighboring buildings. Skyscrapers put a severe strain on a citys sanitation(卫生)facilities，too. If fully occupied, the two World Trade Center towers in New York City would alone generate 2.25 million gallons of
37、 raw wastes each year-as much as a city the size of Stamford，Connecticut，which has a population of more than 109，000. Skyscrapers also interfere with television reception，block bird flyways，and obstruct air traffic. In Boston in the late 1960s，some people even feared that shadows from skyscrapers wo
