In some periods of history, a person who stole salt was thought to have broken the law. Take the eighteenth century for example. If a person was caught stealing salt, he would be thrown into prison. History also records that only in England about ten thousand people were put into prison during that century for stealing salt! About four hundred and fifty years ago, in the year 1553, if a man took more than his share of salt, he would be thought to have broken the law and would be seriously punished, and his ear would be cut off. Salt was an important item on the dinner table of a king. It was always placed in front of the king when he sat down to eat. Important guests at the king’s table were seated near the salt. Less important guests were given seats farther away from it.1.What was salt used to do in Egypt thousands of years ago?A.To punish people who had broken the law.B.To keep dead bodies from decay.C.To make chemicals.D.To make fish soup.正确答案:B解析:细节题。

Many are instructors or lecturers. In fact, not even all professors are full professors. Many of them are assistant or associate professors or adjunct professors. So what do all of these different academic titles mean at American colleges and universities? Get ready for a short lecture, especially if you are flunking of a career in higher education. [1] Professors usually need a doctoral degree. But sometimes a school will offer positions to people who have not yet received their doctorate. This person would be called an instructor until the degree has been completed. After that, the instructor could become an assistant professor. Assistant professors do not have tenure. [2] Tenure means a permanent appointment. This goal of greater job security is harder to reach these days. Fewer teaching positions offer the chance for tenure. [3] A professor with tenure cannot be easily dismissed. Such appointments are permanent. Those hired with the understanding they will seek tenure are said to be “on the tenure track.” [4] Assistant professor is the first job on this path. [5] Assistant professors generally have five to seven years to gain tenure. During this time, other faculty members study the per-son’s work. [6] If tenure is denied, then the assistant professor usually has a year to find another job. Candidates for tenure may feel great pressure to get research published. “Publish or perish” is the traditional saying. [7] An assistant professor who receives tenure becomes an associate professor. An associate professor may later be appointed a full professor. Assistant, associate and full professors perform many duties. They teach classes. They advise students. And they carry out research. They also serve on committees and take part in other community activities. Other faculty members are not expected to do all these jobs. They are not on a tenure track. Instead, they might be in adjunct or visiting positions. [8] An adjunct professor is hired to teach for a limited time, usually one semester. Adjunct professors may have a doctorate. [9] But they receive lower pay than those on the tenure track and have no job security. The American Association of University Professors says sixty-eight percent of all teacher appointments at American colleges today are adjuncts. [10] College officials say one reason is low budgets. Another is having the freedom to change teachers as courses become more or less popular. They also say part-timeadjuncts can provide real world experience for their students. But the AAUP and other college officials say too many adjuncts mean lower educational quality. They say adjuncts do not have the time or support to help students outside class. And they say fewer tenure track positions mean fewer people to work with students, create new courses and serve on committees. A visiting professor has a job at one school but works at another for a period of time, Another position is that of lecturer. Lecturers teach classes, but they may or may not have a doctorate.Academic Titles at US CollegesⅠ.

We need volunteers to assist us in keeping our student body informed through our newspaper. Experience is not absolutely necessary, but writing and typing skills are in great demand. We need people to rewrite articles, to type and to proofread. We could also use a good photographer. Although many of our staff members are journalism majors, we also have several engineers and prelaw students working for us. Since the Challenge comes out five days a week, we need excellent students who know how to budget their time efficiently. Good grades are a prerequisite for working on the paper.

It is behind the administration building.Q: What does the man suggest the woman do?2、A[解析]W: What do you think of the apple pie? I made it myself.M: Very delicious indeed. Even my mother's cannot match this.Q: What does the man mean?3、C[解析]W: But what happens if it rains. What are we going to do then?M: We'll have to count on good weather. But if it does rain the whole thing will have to be canceled.Q: What do we learn from the conversation?4、C[解析]M: I'd better read one of the articles for our political science class.W: You can't read just one. They say each presents a different theory.Q: What does the woman tell the man he must do?5、C[解析]W: The presentation made by Professor Lee was too complicated to understand.M: Well, I think he didn't speak slowly enough for us to take notes.Q: What does the man mean?6、A[解析]W: I think I will take the half-day tour of the city.M: Why not the whole day?Q: What does the man suggest the woman do?7、B[解析]W: Tom looks awfully nervous, doesn't he?M: Yes. I'm afraid he is not used to making speeches.Q: What do the two speakers think of Tom?8、A[解析]M: What happened to you? You are so late.W: The bus I took broke down in front of the hospital and I had to walk from there.Q: Why was the woman so late?9、A[解析] 9-12M: First, I want to thank you for doing this survey. This is an open-ended questions survey, so please don't feel held back.W: OK, I will try my best.M: That's good. Now, will you please tell me first what program you are a part of and what year you are in?W: Yes, I'm currently in my fourth year of a biology course and I'm majoring in microbiology. If all goes well, I could be off to Europe for my Master's next June.M: How do you feel about the biology program at this university? Do you think it has lived up to your expectations?W: On the whole it has. However, as this university is still known primarily as a liberal arts school, you might say that biology doesn't always work with a very abundant budget. Perhaps the faculty hasn't fought hard enough for their fair share.M: How do you think this under-funding problem affects the quality of education?W: Well, for example, the laboratory has all the equipment you would normally find at a standard lab. Unfortunately, if you want to conduct experiments that are highly complex, then you probably have to compete over resources with the Chemistry Department.M: How would you describe the quality of the professors? I guess I am interested in your own experience with them.W: I think they are generally very well committed to the program and to their students. But the problem is that they themselves feel that they are working with inferior equipment.M: Well, it sounds reasonable. But could you explain it more exactly?W: Yes. I have heard many are taking contracts elsewhere, so we may lose a few just yet. This could put the program in great risk because we rely so much on skills.M: Well, I hope your comments help to get that message across. Thanks again and I hope you have a great future.W: Thank you.9. As can be inferred from the passage, what is the survey mainly about?10、A[解析]Which grade is the woman in?11、C[解析]What is the problem with the biology program in the university?12、B[解析]What does the woman worry about with regard to the biology faculty?13、C[解析] 13-15W: Excuse me, could you do me a favor?M: Sure. What's the problem?W: I am new here, and I was wondering how I could use the library.M: Well, if you're a regular student you can use your student ID as a borrower card. If not, you would apply at the loan office.W: What exactly can I borrow? I mean, can I take anything out from the library?M: Well, you can borrow almost everything including books and multimedia materials. But you cannot take out any serial like journals and magazines.W: Can you tell me something about the recall system here? My friend tells me if a book gets recalled, you have to bring it back right away, is that true?M: Oh, certainly not right away, but you do have to take it back within several days of the recall notice.W: Would you tell me why?M: The reason we have this system is because that sometimes students need certain materials urgently.W: But what if I am not around to receive it?M: If we cannot contact you by phone or by mail, we will contact the department that you are registered in and have a recall notice delivered to your teacher.W: Just one more question before I run to class: How much are the fines, by any chance?M: 30 cents a day per book. So, take care not to be late.13. What can the woman NOT take out from the library?14、C[解析]Why should the library have the recall system?15、D[解析]How much is the late fee for a book that is returned three days after the due date?Section B16、A[解析] 16-18My friend, Vernon Davies, kept birds. One day he phoned and told me he was going away for a week. He asked me to feed the birds for him and said that he would leave the key to his front door in my mailbox.Unfortunately, I forgot all about the birds until the night before Vernon was going to return. What was worse, it was already dark when I arrived at his house. I soon found the key Vernon gave me could not unlock either the front or the back door. I was getting desperate. I kept thinking of what Vernon would say when he came back.I was just going to give up when I noticed that one bedroom window was slightly open. I found a barrel and pushed it under the window. As the barrel was very heavy, I made a lot of noise. But in the end, I managed to climb up and open the window.I actually had one leg inside the bedroom when I suddenly realized that someone was shining a torch up at me. I looked down and saw a policeman and an old lady, one of Vernon's neighbors. "What are you doing up there?" said the policeman. Feeling like a complete fool, I replied, "I was just going to feed Mr. Davies's birds."16. Why couldn't the man get into his friend's house?17、B[解析]How did the man finally find a way into the house?18、B[解析]Why did the man feel like a fool before the policeman?19、A[解析] 19-21Sign language has become a scientific hot button. Only in the past 20 years have specialists in language study realized that sign languages are unique--a speech of the hands. They offer a new way to probe how the brain generates and understands language, and throw new light on an old scientific controversy: Whether language, complete with grammar, is something that we are born with, or whether it is a learned behavior. The current interest in sign language has roots in the pioneering work of one rebel teacher at Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C., the world's only liberal arts university for deaf people.When Bill Stoke went to Gallaudet to teach English, the school enrolled him in a course in signing. He had been taught a sort of gesture code, each movement of the hands representing a word in English, At the time, American Sign Language (ASL) was thought to be no more than a form of pidgin English. But Stoke believed the "hand talk" his students used looked richer. He wondered: Might deaf people actually have a genuine language? And could that language be unlike any other on earth? Stoke devoted his time to writing and editing books and journals and to producing video materials on ASL and the deaf culture. For decades educators fought his idea that sign languages are natural languages like English, French and Japanese.19. What is the passage mainly about?20、C[解析]What do we learn about Gallaudet University from the passage?21、B[解析]What did Stoke think of sign languages?22、B[解析] 22-25Consumers are being confused and misled by the huge amount of environmental claims made by household products, according to a "green labeling" study published by Consumers International on Friday.The study was written and researched by Britain's National Consumer Council (NCC) for lobby group Consumers International. It was funded by the German and Dutch governments and the European Commission."While many good and useful claims are being made, it is clear there is a long way to go in ensuring shoppers are adequately informed about the environmental impact of products they buy," said Consumers International director Anna Fielder.The 10-country study surveyed product packaging in Britain, Western Europe, Scandinavia and the United States. It found that products sold in Germany and the United Kingdom made the most environmental claims on average.The report focused on claims made by specific products, such as detergents, insect sprays and some garden products. It did not test the claims, but compared them to labeling guidelines set by the International Standards Organization (ISO) in September 1999.The ISO labeling standards ban vague or misleading claims on product packaging, because terms such as "environmentally friendly" and "non-polluting" cannot be verified.22. What problem does the "green labeling" study published by Consumers International reveal?23、A[解析]Which of the following is not a fund provider of the "green labeling" study?24、C[解析]In which two countries did the products sold make the most environmental claims on average?25、A[解析]Why do the ISO labeling standards ban vague or misleading claims on product packaging?Section C26、suggested[解析] 26-36When it comes to getting ahead, experts say, the ABCs of business should include a P, for politics, as in office politics.Dale Carnegie (26) suggested as much more than 50 years ago: Hard work alone doesn't (27) ensure career advancement.
