Students prepare for these tests for years in advance. Often, students attend a private school at night to get ready for them. These private schools are usually expensive. If their families don't have much money, students can't attend and they might not pass the entrance exams without this extra preparation.In contrast, students can easily get into an American or Canadian college—at least more easily than in other countries. American students take an entrance exam called the S. A. T( the Scholastic Aptitude Test(学习能力考试). However, colleges do not consider only scores. They also consider a student's grades and activities throughout high school. A student who has done well in high school will probably get into college.What happens when a student finally enters a college or university? Students in China, Korea or Japan might find their college studies easier than high school work. On the other hand, when American or Canadian students begin college, many of them discover that they need to work very hard and study seriously for the first time in their lives especially if they plan to go to graduate school.36. In France and Greece, students find that _____.A)they don't have to do extra preparation to pass the entrance examsB)private schools are inexpensiveC) course work in college is more difficultD) college entrance exams are more difficult37. From the first paragraph we can see that before entering college, students mustA) pass the entrance examsB) study in private schoolsC)earn enough moneyD)do some course work38. In America, colleges usually take new students according toA)students' grades and activities in high school onlyB)students' scores of S. . onlyC)both students' S. . scores and records in high schoolD)students' objectives of academic study39. In North America, college students _____.A) study harder than they were in high schoolB)study as hard as they were in high schoolC)find college studies easier than high school work D)find it easier to go to graduate school40. This passage is mainly about _____.A) advantages of college study in North AmericaB)differences in college education in different countriesC) American higher educationD) higher education in generalTask 2Filling in company application forms can become a boring and repetitive (It Yet any carelessness on an applicant's part can draw a negative reaction from readers. Each company or organization usually uses its own specially designed form that, although it generally asks for the same basic information, may vary in detail. Consequently the suggestions below apply mainly to the approach you should take rather than suggest what you should write.•When visiting future employers, always carry your personal data record with you so that you can readily search for details such as dates, telephone numbers, and other useful information.•Treat every application form as though it is the first one you are completing—write carefully and neatly.•Use words that describe the responsibility and different aspects of each job you have held rather than list only the duties you performed.•Particularly describe social activities that show your involvement in thecommunity, or activities in which you held a teaching or coaching role.•Pay particular attention if there is a section on the form that asks you to comment on how your education and past experience have especially prepared you for the position.Think this through very carefully before you write so that what you say shows a natural progression (进展)from past experience to the job you are applying for. If you can, and if they fit naturally, add a few words to demonstrate how the position fits your overall career plan.41 .The first sentence of the passage means that_____.A) you may have to fill in a long application formB)the filling up of an application form takes much timeC) one may have to fill in many application forms before one gets a jobD)application forms should be filled carefully, with no misleading42. Although all application forms demand the same basic information, _____.A) different companies may have different requirementsB) different companies may take the same attitude towards themC)application may be required to answer all the questions in detailD) application may have to send in the forms by person43.

People use them on trains and airplanes, in airports and hotels. These laptops connect people to their workplace. In the United States today, laptops also connect students to their classrooms.Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer programthat allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 15 000 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are part of a 510 million computer program at Westlake, a 110-year-old college. The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet. In addition, they will be able to use e-mail to "speak" with their teachers, their classmates, and their families. However, the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computerlabs. They can work with it at home, in a fast-food restaurant or under the trees——anywhere at all!Because of the many changes in computer technology, laptop use in higher education, such as colleges and universities, is workable. As laptops become more powerful, they become more similar to desktop computers. In addition, the portable computers can connect students to not only the Internet, but also libraries and other resources. State higher education officials are studying how laptops can help students. State officials are testing laptop programs at other universities, too.At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff use computers. The laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons. As one Westlake teacher said, "Here we are in the middle of Virginia and we''''''''re giving students a window on the world. They can see everything and do everything."(1). The main purpose of the laptop program is to give each student a laptop to ( ).A. use for their schoolworkB.access the InternetC.work at homeconnectD.them to libraries(2). Why is the word "speak" in the second paragraph in quotation marks ? ( )A. They don''''t really talk.B.They use the computer language.C.Laptops have speaker.D.None of the above reasons is correct.(3). Which of the following is true about WestlakeCollege? ( )A. All teachers use computers.B. 15 000 students have laptops.C.It is an old college in AmericD.Students there can do everything.(4). "a window on the world" in the last paragraph means that students can ( ).A.attend lectures on information technologyB.travel around the worldC.get information from around the worldD.have free laptops(5). What can we infer from the passage? ( )A. The program is successful.B.The program is not workable.C.The program is too expensive.D.We don''''t know the result yet.2. In ancient times the most important examinations were spoken, not written. In the schools of ancient Greece and Rome, testing usually consisted of saying poetry aloud or giving speeches. In the European universities of the Middle Ages, students who were working for advanced degrees had to discuss questions in their Field of studywith people who had made a special study of the subject. This custom exists today as part of the process of testing candidates for the doctor''s degree.Generally, however, modern examinations are written. The written examination, where all students are tested on the same questions, was probably not known until the nineteenth century. Perhaps it came into existence with the great increase in population and the developmentof modern industry. A room full of candidates for a state examination, timed exactly by electric clocks and carefully watched over by managers, resembles a group of workers at an automobile factory. Certainly, during examinations teachers and students are expected to act like machines.One type of test is sometimes called an "objective" test. It is intended to deal with facts, not personal opinions. To make up an objective test the teacher writes a series of questions, each of which has only one correct answer. Along with each question the teacher writes the correct answer and also three statements that look like answers to students who have not learned the material properly.(1). In the Middle Ages students _______.A. took objective testsB. were timed by clocksC. specialized in one subjectD. never wrote exams(2). The main idea of paragraph 2 is ______A. workers now take examinationsB. the population has grownC. there are only written exams todayD. examinations are now written and timed(3). The kind of exam where students must select answers is ______.A. personalB. objective?C. spoken?D. written(4). Modern industry must have developed ______.A. before the Middle AgesB. in Greece or RomeC. around the 19lh centuryD. machines to take tests(5). It may be concluded that testing ______.A. should test only opinionsB. should always be writtenC. has changed since the Middle AgesD. is given only in factories3."The pen is more powerful than the sword (剑)." There have been many writers who used their pens to fight things that were wrong. Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe was one of them.She was born in the USA in 1811. One of her books not only made her famous but has been described as one that excited the world, and was helpful in causing a civil war and freezing the slaves. The civil war was the American Civil War of 1861, in which the Northern States fought the Southern States and finally won.This book was named "Uncle Tom''''s Cabin". There was time when every English-speaking man, woman, and child has read this novel that did so much to stop slavery. Not many people read it today, but it isstill very interesting. The book has shown us how a warm-hearted writer can arouse (唤起) people''''s sympathies (同情). The writer herself had neither been to the Southern States nor been a slave. The Southern Americans were very angry at the novel, which they said did not at all represent (代表) true state of affairs, but the Northern Americans were wildly excited over it and were so inspired (激励) by it that they-were ready to go to war to set the slaves free.(1). According to the passage ( ).A. every English-speaking person had read "Uncle Tom''s Cabin"B. "Uncle Tom''s Cabin" was not very interestingC. those who don''t speak English can not have read "Uncle Tom''s Cabin"D. the book "Uncle Tom''s Cabin" did a great deal in the American Civil War(2). How old was Mrs. Stowe when her world famous book was published? ( )A. About 60 years old.B.Over 50 years old.C.In her forties.D. Around 30 years old.(3). What do you learn about Mrs. Stowe from the passage? ( )A. AShe had been living in the north of America before the American Civil War.B. She herself encouraged the northern Americans to go to war and set the slaves free.C. She was better as writing as using a sword.D. She had once been a slave.(4). Why could Mrs. Stowe''s book cause a civil war in America? ( )A. She wrote so well that Americans loved her very much.B. She disclosed (揭露) the terrible wrongs that had been done to the slaves in the Southern States.C. The Southern Americans hated the book while the Northern Americans like it.D. The book had been read by many Americans.(5). What can we learn from the passage? ( )A. We needn''t use weapons (武器) to fight things that are wrong.B. writer is more helpful in a war than a soldier.C. We must understand the importance of literature and art.D. No war can be won without such a book as "Uncle Tom''s Cabin".4.Although I had left school against the advice of my teachers, I had, without telling anyone, tried to continue my studies in literature (文学) at evening classes. It was a tiresome walk from one end of the city to another and to sit among adults was uninteresting. I was the youngest in the class, so the friendship I knew at school was absent.I put up with (忍受) it for a short period. It was too long a walk on cold winter''s nights and it was hard to put my heart into Shakespeare with wet shoes and trousers. So I continued reading books and started writing poetry at home.By chance, I won some prizes and awards (奖) for literature. A young woman from a TV company came to the college one day. She told me that I had won a national poetry award. I stared at her in astonishment and disbelief. She wanted to make a short film about me, to which I said, "No, I couldn'' t do that." Not that I had any real excuse, I was just frightened. In the end she persuaded me that 1 should do it the following day.So I did. They made a short film of me reading one of my poems and I became more interested in literature than ever. I wondered what I should do after this, and decided some weeks later that 1 could not imagine myself spending the rest of my days dealing with machines. So one evening, I hesitatingly told my parents that I wanted to return to school. They were greatly surprised and, I think, a little afraid but they did not try to persuade me not to, they wanted to know if I was sure, if I knew what it meant and whether I realized that if I gave up my job training, it would be verydifficult to get a good job. But nothing could stop me, and theyasked about the matter no further.(1). Which of the following has most probably been discussed in this passage? ( )A. The writer''s unhappy childhood.B. The poor teaching quality ( 质量 ) of the writer''s school.C. The writer''s leaving school against his teachers'' advice.D. Whether it was worth leaving school for job training.(2). The writer did not feel comfortable at the evening school because ( ).A. he found it difficult to make friends with his classmatesB. he had to walk a long distance to the evening schoolC. he could not put his heart into reading books afterhe was caught in the rainD. of all of the above(3). After he won some prizes and awards for literature, a young woman from a TV company ( ).A. wanted to make his success known to the publicB. came to make friends with himC. invited him to make a speechD. came to tell him that he had become a very important person(4).
