Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension
Directions: This part is to test your reading ability. There are 5 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.
Task 1
Traditionally, universities have carried out two main activities: research and teaching. Many experts would argue that both these activities play a critical role in serving **munity. The fundamental question, however is: how does **munity want or need to be served?
In recent years universities have **ing under increasing pressure from both the governments and the public to ensure that they do not remain "ivory towers" (象牙塔) of study separated from the realities of everyday life. University teachers have been encouraged, and in some cases constrained (强逼), to provide more courses which produce graduates with the technical skills required for **mercial use. If Aristotle wanted to work in a university in the UK today, he would have a good chance of **puter science but would not be soreadily employable as a philosopher.
A post-industrial society requires large numbers of computer programmers, engineers, managers and technicians to maintain and develop its economic growth but "man", as the Bible says, Does not live by bread alone." Apart from requiring medical and social services, which do not directly contribute to economic growth, the society should Msn value and enjoy literature, music and the arts. In these cost-conscious times, it has even been pointed out in justification for the fun- ding of [he arts that they can be useful money earners. A successful musical play, for instance, can contribute as much to the Gross National Product through tourist dollars as any other things.

A. traditional universities do a good job serving the society
B. universities must meet the needs of the society

38. The Aristotle example is used to make the point that ______.
A. universities in the UK have produced too many good-for-nothing graduates
B. such abstract subjects as philosophy is no longer useful
C. education should serve the social needs
D. it is advisable for today's philosophers to **puter science
39. According to the passage, literature, music and the arts______.
A. do not contribute to economic growth at all
B. are similar to medical and social services in their way of promoting economic growth
C. should develop only when they are good for economic growth
D. are less useful to the society because they do not make direct contribution to economic growth
40. The author believes that ______.
A. art is useful only when it is made. into a money earner
B. the promotion of economic growth is the only goal of today's society
C. universities should not provide literature or art courses
D. the society needs both technical skills and arts
Task 2
Demands for stronger .protection for wildlife in Britain sometimes hide the fact that similar needs are felt in the rest of Europe.
Studies by the Council of Europe, of which 21 countries are members, have shown that 45 percent of reptile species (爬行动物)and 24 percent of butterflies are in danger of dying out.
European 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 administrators of a British national park. The park is one of the few areas in Europe to hold the
Council's diploma for nature reserves of the highest quality, and Dr. Baum **e to present it to the park once again. He was afraid the public opinion was turning against national parks, and that those set up in the 1960s and 1970s could not be set up today. But Dr. Baum clearly remained a stronger supporter of the view that natural environments 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 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 future.
Dr. Bantu went on. "We could manage without most industrial products, but we could not manage without nature. However, our natural environment areas have shrunk to become mere islands in a spoiled and highly polluted land mass.”
41. Recent studies by the Council of Europe show that______.
A. it is only in Britain that wildlife needs more protection
B. many 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 butterflies in Europe need protection
42. Dr. Baum came to visit one particular British national park mainly because______.
A. he was to present 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 Europe
D. it was the only park which had ever received a diploma from the Council
43. Dr. Baum believed that ______.
A. people would support to create more environment areas
B. people would continue to support those national parks in existence
C. existing national parks would need to be more independent to survive
D. certain national environment areas should be left undisturbed by man
44. In Dr. Baum's opinion, a true nature reserve______.
A. could never survive in modem age
B. should serve immediate human demands for outdoor activities
C. should be well protected for the future
D. could be converted into a tourist attraction
45. It is implied in the last paragraph that ______.
A. industrial products are more important to life system than natural environment areas
B. it is only on islands that true nature reserves exits
C. we have forgotten what our original countryside looked like
D. industrial development is responsible for the shrinkage of our natural environment areas
