16、n 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 case for college has been accepted without question for more than a generation. All high school graduates ought to go, says conventiona

17、l wisdom and statistical evidence, because college will help them earn more money, become “better“ people, and learn to be more responsible citizens than those who dont go.But college has never been able to work its magic for everyone. And now that close to half our high school graduates are attendi

18、ng, those who dont fit the pattern are becoming more numerous, and more obvious. College graduates are selling shoes and driving taxi; college students interfere with each others experiments and write false letters of recommendation in the intense competition for admission to graduate school. Others

19、 find no stimulation in their studies, and drop out-often encouraged by college administrators.Some observers say that the fault is with the young people themselves-they are spoiled and they are expecting too much. But thats a condemnation of the students as whole, and doesnt explain all campus unha

20、ppiness. Others blame the state of the world, and they are partly right. We have been told that young people have to go to college because our economy cant absorb an army of untrained eighteen-year-olds. But disappointed graduates are learning that it can no longer absorb an army of trained twenty-y

21、ear-olds, either.Some administrators, some educators and campus watchers have openly begun to suggest that college may not be the best, the proper, the only lace for every young person after the completion of high school. Perhaps college doesnt make people intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, or

22、quick to learn things.37 The passage suggests that _.（A）people used to question the value of education（B） people used to have full confidence in higher education（C） all high school graduates went to college（D）very few high school graduates chose to go to college38 In the second paragraph, “those who

24、ut rate of college students seems to go up because _.（A）young people are disappointed with the conventional way of teaching（B） many young people are required to join the army（C） young people have little motivation in pursuing a higher education（D）young people dont like the intense competition for ad

25、mission to graduate school40 According to the passage, the problem of college education partly arises from the fact that _.（A）society cant provide enough jobs for properly trained college students（B） high school graduates do not fit the pattern of college education（C） too many students have to earn

26、their own living（D）college administrators encourage students to work hard41 What can we infer from the passage?（A）Cheat in school is on the rise.（B） Some people concerned challenge the traditional view that college is the best place for high school graduates.（C） College administrators should be resp

27、onsible for the increasing number of drop-out.（D）College education is not the first choice for intelligent people.42 Demands for stronger protection for wildlife in Britain sometimes hide the fact that similar needs are left in the rest of Europe. Studies by the Council of Europe, of which 21 countr

28、ies are members, have shown that 45 percent of reptile species and 24 percent of butterflies are in danger of dying out.Europe concern for wildlife was outlined by Dr, Peter Baum, an expert in the environment and nature resources division of the council, when he spoke at a conference arranged by the

29、 administrators of a British national park. The park is one of the few areas in Europe to hold the councils diploma for nature reserves (自然保护区) of the highest quality, and Dr. Baum had come to present it to the park once again. He was afraid that public opinion was turning against national parks, an

30、d that those set up in the 1960s and 1970s could not be set up today. But Dr. Baum clearly remained a strong supporter of the view that natural environment needed to be allowed to survive in peace in their own right.No area could be expected to survive both as a true nature reserve and as a tourist

31、attraction, he went on. The short view that reserves had to serve immediate human demands for outdoor recreation should be replaced by full acceptance of their importance as places to preserve nature for the future.“we forget that they are the guarantee of life systems, on which any built-up area ul

32、timately depends,“ Dr. Baum went on. “We could manage without most industrial products, but we could not manage without nature. However, our natural environment areas, which are the original parts of our countryside, have shrunk to become mere islands in a spoiled and highly polluted land mass.“42 R

33、ecent studies by the Council of Europe show that _.（A）it is only in Britain that wildlife needs more protection（B） all species of wildlife in Europe are in danger of dying out（C） there are fewer species of reptiles and butterflies in Europe than elsewhere（D）certain species of reptiles and butterflie

34、s in Europe need protecting43 Dr. Baum, a representative of the Council, visited one particular British national park because _.（A）he was presenting the park with a diploma for its achievements（B） he was concerned about how the park was being run（C） it was the only national park of its kind in Europ

35、e（D）it was the only park which had ever received a diploma from the Council44 Although it is difficult nowadays to convince the public of the importance of nature reserves, Dr. Baum felt that _.（A）people would support moves to create more environment areas（B） people would carry on supporting those n

36、ational parks in existence（C） existing national parks would need to be more independent to survive（D）certain areas of countryside should be left undisturbed by man45 In Dr. Baums opinion, a true nature reserve _.（A）could never survive in a modern age（B） should provide building for human activities（C

37、） should be regarded as a place where nature is protected（D）could provide special areas for tourist to enjoy46 Although we all depend on the resources of nature for our survival _.（A）industrial products are replacing all our natural resources（B） it is only on islands that nature survives（C） we have

38、forgotten what our original countryside looked like（D）we have allowed areas of countryside to be spoilt by industrial development47 The exact number of English words in not known. The large dictionaries have over half a million entries, but many of these are compound words (schoolroom, sugarbowl) or

39、 different derivatives of the same word, and a good many are obsolete words to help us read older literature. Dictionaries do not attempt to cover completely words that we can draw on; the informal vocabulary, especially slang, localism, the terms of various occupations and professions, words used o

40、nly occasionally by scientists and specialists in many fields, foreign words borrowed for use in English, or many new words or new senses of words that come into use every year and that may or may not be used long enough to warrant being included. It would be conservative to say that there are over

41、a million English words that any of us might meet in our listening and reading and that we may draw on in our speaking and listening.Professor Seashore concluded that first-graders enter school with at least 24 000 words and add 5 000 each year so that they leave high school with at least 80 000. Th

42、ese figures are for recognition vocabulary, the words we understand when we read or hear them. Our active vocabulary, the words we use in speaking and writing, is considerably smaller.You cannot always produce a word exactly when you want it. But consciously using the word you recognize in reading w

43、ill help get them into your active vocabulary. Occasionally in your reading pay particular attention to these words, especially when the subject is one that you might well write or talk about. Underline or make a list of words that you feel a need for and look up the less familiar ones in a dictiona

44、ry. And then before very long find a way to use some of them. Once you know how they are pronounced and what they stand for, you can safely use them.47 In the authors estimation, there are _ words in English.（A）more than half a million（B） at least 24 000（C） at least 80 000（D）more than a million48 Th

47、to use the words you recognize51 From the passage we learn that _.（A）dictionaries completely cover the words we can make use of（B） schoolroom is used in the passage as an example of a specialized term（C） once you know how a word is pronounced and what it represents, you have turned it in-to your act

48、ive vocabulary（D）active vocabulary refers to words we understand when we read and hear them52 Inevitably, as you try to make progress you will need the help of others. Getting this help may have less to do with your formal position and authority and more to do with your strategy and approach, which

49、can range from a simple favor to convincing others to accept a priority of yours as if it were their own.Define what needs to be done. Indistinct goals lead to indistinct results. By defining all the tasks required, you increase the likelihood of success. Be sure to include status reports and deadlines as you de
