(10’)It was the last day of final examinations in a large Eastern university. On the steps of one building, a group of engineering seniors huddled, discussing the exam due to begin in a few minutes. On their faces was confidence. This was their last exam before they went on to commencement and jobs.Some talked of jobs they already had; others of jobs they would get. With all this assurance of four years of college study, they felt ready and able to conquer the world.The approaching exam, they knew, would be a snap. The professor had said they could bring any books or notes they wanted, requesting only that they did not talk to each other during the test.Jubilantly, they filed into the classroom. The professor passed out the papers. And their smiles broadened as the students noted there were only five essay-type questions.Three hours passed. Then the professor began to collect the papers. The students no longer looked confident. On their faces was a frightened expression. No one spoke as the professor faced the class with the papers in her hand.She surveyed the worried faces before her, then asked: “How many completed all five questions?”Not a hand was raised.“How many answered four?”Still no hands.“Three? Two?”The students shifted restlessly in their seats.“One, then? Certainly somebody finished one.”But the class remained silent. The professor put down the papers. “That is exactly what I expecte d,” she said.“I just want to impress upon you that, even though you have completed four years of engineering, there are still many things about the subject you don’t know. These questions you could not answer are relatively common in everyday practice.” Then, smiling, she added: “You will all pass this course, but remember that even though you are now college graduates, your education has just begun .”The years have obscured the name of this professor, but not the lesson she taught.T or F判断对错( T )1. The students were going to take their last exam at university.( F )2. All the students were nervous and didn’t feel ready for the coming exam.( F )3. The questions turned out to be difficult, because only one of them could be answered bythe students.( F)4. The professor said the result was what she had expected, and the students wouldn’t be allowed to pass the course.(T )5. The professor give such a test because she wanted to make their students realize that even though they had completed four years of college study, there was still much to learn andtheir education had just begun.四、阅读理解Fast Reading(40’)In this part, there are three reading passages; each of them is followed by some multiple-choice questions. Read the passages, and then do the multiple-choice questions. Mark the best answer to each question.Passage 1The Scandinavian countries are much admired all over the world for their enlightened social policies. Sweden has evolved an excellent system for protecting the individual citizen from high-handed or incompetent public officers. The system has worked so well, that it has been adopted in other countries like Denmark, Norway, Finland, and New Zealand. Even countries with large populations like Britain and the United States are seriously considering imitating the Swedes.The Swedes were the first to recognize that public officials like civil servants, police officers, health inspectors, tax collectors can make mistakes or act over-zealously in the belief that they are serving the public. As long ago as 1809, the Swedish Parliament introduced a scheme to safeguard the interest of the individual. A parliamentary committee representing all political parties appoints a person who is suitably qualified to investigate private grievances against the State. The official title of the person is 'Just it ombudsman', but the Swedes commonly refer to him as the 'J.O.' or 'Ombudsman'. The Ombudsman is not subject to political pressure. He investigates complaints large and small that come to him from all levels of society. As complaints must be made in writing, the Ombudsman receives an average of 1200 letters a year. He has eight lawyer assistants to help him and he examines every single letter in detail. There is nothing secretive about the Ombudsman's work, for his correspondence is open to public inspection. If a citizen's complaint is justified, the Ombudsman will act on his behalf. The action he takes varies according to the nature of the complaint. He may gently reprimand an official or even suggest to parliament that a law be altered. The following case is a typical example of the Ombudsman's work..A foreigner living in a Swedish village wrote to the Ombudsman complaining that he had been ill treated by the police, simply because he was a foreigner. The Ombudsman immediately wrote to the Chief of Police in the district asking him to send a record of the case. There was nothing in the record to show that the foreigner's complaint was justified and the Chief of Police stoutly denied the accusation. It was impossible for the Ombudsman to take action, but when he received a similarcomplaint from another foreigner in the same village, he immediately sent one of his lawyers toinvestigate the matter. The lawyer ascertained that a policeman had indeed dealt roughly with foreigners on several occasions. The fact that the policeman was prejudiced against foreigners could not be recorded in the official files. It was only possible for the Ombudsman to find this out by sending one of his representatives to check the facts. The policeman in question was severely reprimanded and was informed that if any further complaints were lodged against him, he would be prosecuted. The Ombudsman's prompt action at once put an end to an unpleasant practice which might have gone unnoticed.Comprehension理解1.In what respect does the institution of Ombudsman reflect enlightened social policy?A.Other countries have followed the Swedish example.B.Each party appoints its own Ombudsman to ensure equal representation.C.It admits the possibility of official oppression and guards against it.D.It aims to eliminate prejudice against foreigners living in Sweden.2.The authority exercised by the ombudsman is impartial in that ________.A.the complaint he deals with come from all levels of societyB.he will only take action if written evidence justifies a complaintC.every letter of complaint receives legal attentionD.his decisions are not influenced by any one political party3.What happened to the policeman in the case?A.He was sent to prison.B.He was prosecuted.C.He was officially rebuked.D.He was dismissed from the police force.4.What could not be reported in the official files?A.The policeman was accused of murder.B.The Ombudsman failed to take action promptly.C.The fact that the policeman was prejudiced against foreigners.D.The foreigners wrote to the Ombudsman complaining that the he had been ill-treated by thepolice.5.The case taken as an example of the Ombudsman’s work shows that ________.A.an official may not be prosecuted until a law is altered by parliamentB.the Ombudsman cannot take actions if he lacks supporting evidenceC.it needs two similar complaints before the Ombudsman can take actionD.the Swedish police are corrupt and prejudiced against foreignersPassage 2There was great excitement on the planet of Venus this week. For the first time Venusian scientists managed to land a satellite on the planet Earth, and it has been sending back signals as well as photographs ever since.The satellite was directed into an area known as Manhattan (named after the great Venusian astronomer Prof. Manhattan, who first discovered it with his telescope 20,000 light years ago).Because of excellent weather conditions and extremely strong signals, Venusian scientists were able to get valuable information as to the feasibility of a manned flying saucer landing on Earth. A press conference was held at the Venus Institute of Technology."We have come to the conclusion, based on last week's satellite landing, "Prof. Zog said, "that there is no life on Earth.""How do you know this?" the science reporter of the Venus Evening Star asked."For one thing, Earth's surface in the area of Manhattan is composed of solid concrete and nothing can grow there. For another, the atmosphere is filled with carbon monoxide and other deadly gases and nobody could possibly breathe this air and survive. ""What does this mean as far as our flying saucer program is concerned?""We shall have to take our own oxygen with us, which means a much heavier flying saucer than we originally planned.""Are there any other hazards that you discovered in your studies?""Take a look at this photo. You see this dark black cloud hovering over the surface of Earth? We call this the Consolidated Edison Belt. We don't know what it is made of, but it could give us a lot of trouble and we shall have to make further tests before we send a Venus Being there.""Over here you will notice what seems to be a river, but the satellite findings indicate it is polluted and the water is unfit to drink. This means we shall have to carry our own water, which will add even greater weight to the saucer. ""Sir, what are all those tiny black spots on the photographs?""We're not certain. They seem to be metal particles that move along certain paths. They emit gases, make noise and keep crashing into each other. There are so many of these paths and so many metal particles that it is impossible to land a flying saucer without its being smashed by one.""What are those stalagmite projections sticking up?""They're some type of granite formations that give off light at night. Prof. Glom has named them skyscrapers since they seem to be scraping the skies. ""If all you say is true, won't this set back the flying saucer program several years?""Yes, but we shall proceed as soon as the Grubstart gives us the added funds.""Prof. Zog, why are we spending billions and billions of zilches to land a flying saucer on Earth when there is no life there?""Because if we Venusians can learn to breathe in an Earth atmosphere, then we can live anywhere."Comprehension理解1.During the week of great excitement the Venusian scientists succeeded in getting importantinformation as to ________.A.The feasibility of landing a satellite on EarthB.The possibility of making a first-rate flying saucerC.The feasibility of sending a Venus Being to EarthD.The possibility of directing a flying saucer into Manhattan2.According to Prof. Zog, the Venusians will have to take their own oxygen with them when theycarry out their flying saucer program because ________.A.they need it on their way to the planet of EarthB.the Earth’s atmosphere is filled with deadly gasesC.oxygen is far from enough in the area of Manhattan where the saucer is to landD.thee is no air on the planet of Earth3.The “tiny black spots” on the photographs refer, in fact, to ________.A.planes flying over ManhattanB.rockets being launched into spaceC.fire engines carrying firemen to a fireD.vehicles moving along streets4.The author wishes to call our attention to the fact ________.A.that modern man has polluted his environment to such an extent that he might destroyhimself if he went on like thisB.that there is no point in spending billions and billions of zilches to land a flying saucer onEarthC.that pollution has become so serious a problem on Earth that even Venusians find life thereunbearableD.that it is difficult, if not altogether impossible, to land a manned flying saucer on Earth5.The tone of this essay is ________.A.calm and objectiveB.serious and thought-provokingC.humorous and satiricalD.sentimental yet philosophical Passage 3I would like to propose that for sixty to ninety each evening , right after the early evening news, all television broadcasting in the United states be prohibited by law.Let us take a serious , reasonable look at what the result might be if such a proposal were accepted. Families might use the time for a really family hour. Without the distraction of TV, they might sit around together after dinner and actually talk to one another. It is well known that many of our problems – everything ,in fact ,from the generation gap to the high divorce rate to some forms of mental illness – are caused at least in part by failure to communicate. We do not tell each other what is disturbing us .The result is emotional difficulty of one kind or another .By using the quiet family hour to discuss our problems, we might get to know each other better,and to like each other better.On evenings when such talk is unnecessary, families could rediscover more active pastimes. Freed from TV ,forced to find their own activities, they might take a ride together to watch the sunset.Or they might take a walk together ( remember feet ?) and see the neighborhood with fresh ,new eyes. With free time and no TV ,children and adults might rediscover reading .There is more entertainment in a good book than in a month of typical TV programming. Educators report that the generation growing up with television can barely write an English sentence, even at the college level. Writing is often learned from reading .A more literate new generation could be a product of the quiet hour .A different form of reading might also be done ,as it was in the past :reading aloud. Few pastimes bring a family close together than gathering around and listening to mother or father read a good story .The quiet hour could become the story hour . When the quiet hour ends ,the TV networks might even be forced to come up with better shows in order to get us back from our newly discovered activities.At first glance ,the idea of an hour without TV seems radical .What will parents do without the electronic baby-sitter ? How will we spend the time ?But it is not radical at all .It has been only twenty—five years since television came to control American free time. Those of us thirty – five and older can remember childhoods without television, spent partly with radio ---which at least involved the listener’s imagination –but also with reading ,listening ,talking ,playing games, inventing new activities .It wasn’t that difficult. Honest .The truth is we had a ball.Comprehension理解1. The failure to talk to each other causes all of the following except ________.A.the high divorce rateB. a real family hourC.the generation gapD.some forms of mental illness2. According to the author, ________. is more entertaining than good booksB.good books are as entertaining as TVC.good books are not so entertaining as TVD.good books are more entertaining than TV3. Life without TV ________.A.wasn’t good for children’s imaginationed to be very quieted to be a lot of funed to be very difficult4. The expression “the electronic baby-sitter” in the last paragraph means ________.A. a robot looking after babiesB.an electronic dollC.televisionD. a toy babies like best5. What is the main idea of the article?A.It’s difficult to imagine life with out TV.B.We should show no television programs for about one hour every evening.C.Television improves our lives.D.Some TV programs are not worth watching.Passage 4We have learn to except that trains will be punctunal.After years of conditioning ,most of us have developed an unshakable fainth in railway timetables.Ships may be delayed by storms ; air flights may be cancelled because of bad weather;but trains must be on time .Only an exceptionally heavy snow fall might temporarily dis locate railway services. It is all too easy to blame the railway authorities when something does go wrong.the truth is that when mistakes occur, they are more likely to be ours than theirs.After consultingmy railway timetable,I noted with satisfaction that there was an express train to Westhaven .It went direct from my local station and the journey lasted a mere hour and seventeen minutes .When I boarden the train ,I could not help noticing that a great many local people got on as well .At the time ,this did not strike me as odd. I reflected that there must be a great many people besides myself who wished to take advantage of this excellent service . Neither was I surprised when the train stopped at Widley, a tiny station a few miles along the line .Even a mighty express train can be held up by signals But when the train dawdled at station after station ,I began to wander .It suddenly dawned on me that this express was not roaring down the line at ninety miles an hour ,but barely chugging along at thirty.One hour and seventeen minutes passed and we had not even covered half the distance .I asked a passenger if this was the Westhaven Express ,but he had not heard of it .I determined to lodge a complaint as soon as we arrived .Two hours later ,I was talking angrily to the station maste r at Westhaven .When he denied the train ‘s existence ,I borrowed his copy of the timetable .There was a note of triumph in my voice when I told him that it was there in black and white .Glancing at it briefly, he told me to look at again .A tiny asterisk conducted me to a foot note at the bottom of the page .It said : “ This service has been suspended .”Comprehension理解1. When the writer consulted his railway timetable ________.A.he wanted to find out how long the express train to Westhaven tookB.he wanted to know the quickest way of getting to Westhaven by railC.he did not notice how many stations there were on the way to WesthavenD.he misread the information concerning the time the journey took2.What was the mistake the author made?A.He was on the wrong train.B.He thought even a mighty express train can be held up by signals.C.He didn’t notice the asterisk or read the footnote.D.He explained the local people also wanted to use the same excellent service.3. At what point the writer realize that the train was not traveling at the speed of an express train?A.When the train had reached the station after Wildley.B.When the train had been held up by signals.C.After the train had stopped at several small stations.D.After the train had covered a distance of thirty miles.4. How long was the journey from the writer’s village to Westhaven supposed to take by express train?A.More than three hours.B.An hour and seventeen minutes.C.Less than an hour.D.Mere two hours.5. When the writer went to the station master, he complained about ______.A.the train scheduled as an express train having in fact been a slow oneB.the lack of color in the timetableC.the lack of any express trains from his local station to WesthavenD.the fact that the Westhaven express had been suspended from service五．完形填空（15分）Kelley McKee of Steelton, Pennsylvania, never had any intentions of ____ DistanceEducation courses.
