Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension

Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and then mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET.

Passage One

Participation in classroom is not only accepted but also expected of the students in many courses. Some professors base part of the final grade on the students' oral participation. Although there are formal lectures during which the student has a passive role (i.e. listening and taking notes), many courses are organized around classroom discussions, student questions, and informal lectures. In graduate seminars the professor has a "managerial" role and the students make presentations and lead discussions. The students do the actual teaching in these seminars.

A professor's teaching style is another factor that determines the degree and type of student participation. Some professors prefer to control discussion while others prefer to guide the class without dominating it. Many professors encourage students to question and challenge their ideas; students who make assertions that contradict the professor's point of view should be prepared to supply evidence to their positions.

In the teaching of science and mathematics, the dominant mode of instruction is generally traditional, with teachers presenting formal lectures and students taking notes. However, new educational trends have emerged in the humanities and social sciences in the past two decades. Students in education, sociology, and psychology classes, for example, are often required to solve problems in groups, design projects, make presentations, and examine case studies. Since some college or university courses are "applied" rather than theoretical, they stress "doing" and involvement.

31、 Participation in the classroom is not only accepted but also expected of the students in many courses except in ______.

A. seminar courses                         B. the humanities and social sciences

C. informal lecture courses                D. science and mathematics

32、 Education in the humanities and social sciences has ______.

A. not changed much

B. changed from being theoretical to being applied

C. changed a little

D. become more theoretical than applied

33、 It can be inferred from the passage that ______.

A. an active participant in a seminar is a good student

B. a student who can always take full notes is a good one

C. a student who can dominate the class is a good one

D. a student who keeps silent in the classroom is a good one

34、 The reason why some professors ask students to make presentations and lead discussions is that ______.

A. these professors are not willing to teach theory

B. these professors are often not well prepared before class

C. these professors want to stress "doing"

D. these professors want to test the students' abilities

35、 Which of the following is true? ______

A. Student participation is not common in the classroom in many courses like sociology.

B. Some professors want to dominate the classroom discussion.

C. Some professors usually want the students to participate in the teaching of science and mathematics.

D. New educational trends have emerged in the teaching of natural sciences such as chemistry.

Passage Two

A blizzard is a severe weather condition characterized by low temperatures and strong winds, greater than 35 miles per hour, bearing a great amount of snow.

Because the factors for classifying winter storms are complex, there are many definitions of what a blizzard truly is. But it is generally agreed that in order to be classified as a blizzard, as opposed to merely a winter storm, the weather must meet several conditions. The storm must decrease visibility to a quarter of a mile for three hours running, include snow or ice as precipitation(冰雹), and have wind speeds of at least 32 miles per hour, which means force seven or more on the wind scale.

Another standard, according to Environment Canada is that the winter storm must have winds of 40 kilometers per hour or more, plenty of snow, visibility less than one kilometer, a temperature of less than minus 25 degrees Celsius, and all of these conditions must last for four hours or more, before the storm can properly be called a blizzard.

When all of these conditions continue after snow has stopped falling, the storm is referred to as a ground blizzard. An extreme form of blizzard is a whiteout, when the downdrafts, together with snowfall, become so severe that it is impossible to distinguish the ground from the air. People caught in a whiteout can quickly become disoriented, losing their sense of up and down as well as their sense of direction. Severe blizzards can also occur along with arctic cyclones.

36、 What's the passage mainly about? ______

A. The definitions of blizzards.

B. The disasters caused by blizzards.

C. The amount of snow brought by blizzards.

D. The strong winds caused by blizzards.

37、 Which of the following is true of a blizzard according to the first standard? ______

A. One can't see anything beyond a mile.

B. One can't see anything beyond a quarter of a mile.

C. The wind blows at a speed of 25 miles per hour.

D. The wind blows at a speed of 23 miles per hour.

38、 Which of the following is true of a blizzard according to the second standard? ______

A. Visibility is decreased to 2 kilometers.

B. Visibility is decreased to 1.5 kilometers.

C. The wind blows at a speed of 40 miles per hour.

D. The wind blows at a speed of 32 miles per hour.

39、 What is a ground blizzard? ______

A. A blizzard blowing over a piece of land.

B. A blizzard hitting a plain.

C. When the snow has stopped falling, the visibility increases and wind force decreases.

D. When the snow has stopped falling, the visibility and wind remain.

40、 Which of the following is the correct order of increasing force? ______

A. Winter storm—whiteout—blizzard.     B. Whiteout—winter storm—blizzard.

C. Winter storm—blizzard—whiteout.     D. Blizzard—winter storm—whiteout.

Passage Three

You are here to see Bill Gates, the Chairman and Chief Software Architect of Microsoft Corporation. As you know, Microsoft is the worldwide leader in software services and Internet technology for personal and business computing. Last year's revenues topped $32 billion, and the company employed 55,000 people in 85 countries. And Mr. Gates is an iconic figure in contemporary computing.

While attending Harvard, Bill Gates and his childhood friend Paul Allen started Microsoft, and launched a revolution. The fledgling(刚开始的) company was more interesting than the classroom for Bill Gates, so he dropped out in his junior year. In his ease, it was clearly a great decision. He not only built a company, but more importantly he built a vision. Both were built on the idea that the computer would be a valuable tool on every office desk and in every home, and that software was the key. The penetration of personal computing in our businesses, our offices, our public libraries, on the train or on the plane, and in our home is astonishing, and truly reflects the Bill Gates' view that if the software is right, they will come.

Bill Gates also is an author of two books. One of them, Business at the Speed of Thought, is available in 60 nations and 25 languages.

Passage Four

As technology transcends national boundaries and demystifies(使明白) cultures, and the speed of flight transcends the speed of sound, it's time for us to reflect upon whether or not our students are prepared to meet the challenges of the information age. Are we losing sight of what our task is to prepare our youngsters to become effective contributors to society?

Today's children must be prepared with the knowledge and experience to be able to select, retrieve(检索) and synthesize(合成) information from traditional and nontraditional sources, and apply it locally and transnationally. Our children need to experience learning in a cooperative, inquiry-based environment so that they develop from a state of dependency through independence to interdependency. They need to read very eagerly in a variety of contexts, and apply mathematical and scientific concepts to real life situations within and between disciplines to solve anticipated and unpredictable problems. To make them citizens of the world, they need to learn a second language starting in kindergarten, so that they can communicate effectively in an international marketplace. They need technological expertise and familiarity with computers to use them in the classroom and beyond. They must nurture, and we must support their desire to become lifelong learners.

Can these objectives be realized? Certainly. We must "reteach in order that we may teach".

A. doesn't perform its task well           B. has to give challenges to the students
