7、 your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.11 According to a survey, which was based on the responses of over 188,000 students, todays traditional-age college freshmen are “more materialistic and less altruistic(利他主义的)“than at any time in the 17 years of the poll.Not surp

8、rising in these hard times, the students major objective “is to be financially well off. Less important than ever is developing a meaningful philosophy of life“. It follows then that today the most popular course is not literature or history but accounting.Interest in teaching, social service and th

9、e “altruistic“ fields is at a low. On the other hand, enrollment in business programs, engineering and computer science is way up.Thats no surprise either. A friend of mine (a sales representative for a chemical company) was making twice the salary of her college instructors her first year on the jo

10、beven before she completed her two-year associate degree.While its true that we all need a career, it is equally true that our civilization has accumulated an incredible amount of knowledge in fields far removed from our own and that we are better for our understanding of these other contributions-

11、be they scientific or artistic. It is equally true that, in studying the diverse wisdom of others, we learn how to think. More important, perhaps, education teaches us to see the connections between things, as well as to see beyond our immediate needs.Weekly we read of unions who went on strike for

12、higher wages, only to drive their employer out of business. No company; no job. How shortsighted in the long run!But the most important argument for a broad education is that in studying the accumulated wisdom of the ages, we improve our moral sense. I saw a cartoon recently which shows a group of b

13、usinessmen looking puzzled as they sit around a conference table; one of them is talking on the intercom(对讲机): “Miss Baxter“, he says, “could you please send in someone who can distinguish right from wrong?“From the long-term point of view, thats what education really ought to be about.11 According

14、to the authors observation, college students _.（A）have never been so materialistic as today（B） have never been so interested in the arts（C） have never been so financially well off as today（D）have never attached so much importance to mutual sense12 The students criteria for selecting majors today hav

15、e much to do with _.（A）the influences of their instructors（B） the financial goals they seek in life（C） their own interpretations of the courses（D）their understanding of the contributions of others13 By saying “While its true thatbe they scientific or artistic“ (Lines 1-3, Para. 5), the author means

16、that _.（A）business management should be included in educational programs（B） human wisdom has accumulated at an extraordinarily high speed（C） human intellectual development has reached new heights（D）the importance of a broad education should not be overlooked14 Studying the diverse wisdom of others c

17、an _.（A）create varying artistic interests（B） help people see things in their right perspective（C） help improve connections among people（D）regulate the behavior of modern people15 Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?（A）Businessmen absorbed in their career are narrow-min

18、ded.（B） Managers often find it hard to tell right from wrong.（C） People engaged in technical jobs lead a more rewarding life.（D）Career seekers should not focus on immediate interests only.15 I doubt that any historically valid treatment of that presidential administration can emerge for at least ano

19、ther decade, if then. I confess that when I came out of the White House I signed up to do an “insider volume,“ but sober, professional second thoughts have led me to put that project on ice until at least 1980. The problem is that I simultaneously know too much, and not enough. I know what I thought

20、 was happening. But I cannot fully document what happened. And I have seen enough highly classified documents to know that most of what the observers thought was happening was at best half right, at worst dead wrong. This has steered me in a different direction as far as writing is concerned. I am n

21、ow preparing what is frankly and unashamedly an ex parte memoir, “My Experiences in Washington, D. C. “ It is based on what I believed to be true, on the picture as I conceptualized it, of the presidential administration under which I worked.16 According to the speaker, the problem with “insider vol

22、umes“ is that they_.（A）tell things that should not be told（B） lack historical perspective（C） are too sensational（D）often intentionally distort me truth17 When the speaker says that he “put mat project on ice,“ he means that he_.（A）put it in the refrigerator（B） gave up on it completely（C） took a rath

23、er cold attitude towards it（D）put it aside until later18 When the speaker says that he simultaneously knew “too much, and not enough,“ he means that he was_.（A）more perceptive than others who were involved at this time（B） too close to the events to see them objectively（C） unable to see any significa

24、nce in current events（D）confused by the number of important events that were taking place19 The speakers experience in reading classified documents made him realize that_.（A）others had been mistaken in interpreting events that they had observed（B） others knew more about current events than he did（C）

25、 he was the only responsible person who knew the truth about government affairs（D）he was a more impartial observer than anyone else in the government20 According to the speaker, “My Experiences in Washington,D.C. will deal with_.（A）secret documents never before released to the public（B） an insiders“

26、 conceptualization of the governments failures（C） his personal view of that presidential era（D）the administrative problems of the president20 Amy Johnson was a pioneer airwoman in Britain. She was born on July 1, 1903, in Yorkshire and lived there until 1923 when she went to Sheffield University to

27、study for a BA. After graduation she took a job as a secretary to a London lawyer. At the same time she became interested in aviation, and to succeed in some project which would prove to the world that women could be as competent as men in a male-dominated field in those days.Early in 1930, she chos

28、e her objective: to fly solo to Australia and to break the previous record of 16 days. Her parents and some of her friends lent her money to buy a used airplane.Amy set off on May 5, 1930. Her route took her over Vienna and Baghdad. She was caught in a sandstorm and had to make an emergency landing

29、in the desert. Six days later she landed in India. After experiencing much hardship, she finally reached Australia on May 24, completing a flight of 11,000 miles.

33、in making such diverse things as cars, airplanes, and food containers. In 1979 Americans used over five million tons of new aluminum, and one and a half million tons of recycled aluminum. Some ninety percent of the bauxite (矾土) ore from which new aluminum is normally derived had to be imported, to m

34、eet the demand. Poorer ores are abundant in the United States, however, and researchers at Purdue University may recently have found a way to obtain aluminum magnetically from these.Although aluminum is not attracted by ordinary magnets, under special conditions it becomes temporarily “paramagnetic“

35、, or very weakly responsive to a magnetic field. This is achieved by immersing ore particles in water to which certain salts have been added and then filtering the ore through steel wool in the presence of a strong magnetic field. It is hoped that this technique will reduce the amount of high-grade

36、aluminum the United States must import.26 The passage focuses on _.（A）construction and manufacturing industry in the United States（B） new technique of obtaining aluminum from poor ores（C） consumption and production of aluminum in the United States（D）the annual import of high-grade aluminum into the
