根据以下内容回答题：

Each nation has its own peculiar character which distinguishes it from others．But the peo-pies of the world have more points in common than points in which they differ．One type of per-son that is common in evcry country is the one who always tries to do as littl．e as possible and to get as much as possible in return．His opposite，the man who is in the habit of doing more than is strictly necessary and who is ready to accept what is offered in return，is rare everywhere．

Both these tyDes are usually unconscious of their character．The man who avoids effort is always talking about his“rights”：he appears to think that society owes him a pleasant，easy life．The man who tries to do as little as he Call is always full of excuses：if he has neglected to do something，it was because he had a headache，or the weather was too hot——or too cold——or because he was prevented by bad luck．At first，other people，such as his friends and his em-ployer，generously accept his stories；but soon they realize what kind of person he is．In the long run he deceives only himself．When his friends become cool towards him and he fails to make progress in his job，he is surprised and hurt．He blames everyone and everything except himseIf．He feels that society is failing in its duties towards him，and that he is being unjustly treated．

The central idea of Paragraph l is that__________ . 查看材料

A.each nation is peculiar enough to enable us to distinguish it from others

B.the peoples of the world are as alike as they are different

C.the peoples of the world have more similarities than differences

D.those who do．more than is strictly necessary are common in every country

根据以下内容回答题：

Traditionally．universities have carried out two main activities：research and teaching．Many expels would argue that both these activities play a critical role in serving the communi-ty．The fundamental question，however，is how does the community want or need to be served？

In recent years universities have been coming under increasing pressure from both the govemments and the public to ensure that they do not remain…ivory towers”(象牙之塔)of study separated from the realities of everyday life．University teachers have been encouraged，and in some cases compelled，to provide more courses which produce graduates with the techni-cal skills required for the commercial use．If Aristotle wanted to work in university in the uk today，he would have a good chance of teaching computer science but would not be so rea．Dily 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 also value and enjoy litera-ture．music and the arts．In these cost-conscious times，it has even been pointed out in justifi-cation for the funding of the 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．

We can know from the first paragraph that the author__________ ．查看材料

A.believes traditional’universities have done a good job serving the community

B.believes it remains to be discussed how universities should meet the needs of society

C.thinks some experts require too much of universities

D.thinks universities should do more than just research and teaching

Books are for reading, but man must bring to their reading a desire to learn and a power o

f absorbing. Reading should be active, not passive.

(79)When students first go to a library, they may be at a loss as to what to read of all the different subjects. Well, Bacon tells you to "look at weak places in your armor(盔甲)", and shows you how to fill up the blanks in your knowledge. On the other hand, it is no good just trying to fill your mind with knowledge. Knowledge in itself is often useless. A mind filled with too much knowledge is like a room too full of furniture; a man cannot walk about freely in it, and look out the windows. It is much better to concentrate on a few subjects which interest you and to deal lightly with the others than to march heavily through the whole range(范围) of learning, like a silly tourist going through a museum and not missing a single object. (80) If you try to master every subject, you may become very wise, but you will be very lonely and you will probably lose all your friends. So you must learn to pick and choose, and you must also learn to look here and there in a library like a camel eating grass on the grassland. If you watch it eating, you will see that although he is supposed to be one of the most stupid animals in the world, he has at least one of the qualities(品质) of the cultured(有修养的) man, the power to pick and choose. A student looking for mental food in a library should take the camel as his model.

The writer thinks that one must ______

A．read as many books as he can

B．try to read books on all the different subjects

C．only read books on subjects that interest him

D．read and absorb a lot

根据以下内容回答题：It is natural for young people to be critical of their parents at times

and to blame them for most of the misunderstanding between them．They have always complained，more or less justly，that they are possessive and dominant；that they do not trust their children to deal with crisis；that they talk too much about certain problems——and that they have no sense of humor，at least in parent-child relationships． I think it is true that parents often underestimate their teenage children and also forget how they themselves felt when young． Young people often irritate parents with their choices in clothes and hairstyles，in enter-tainers and music．This is not their motive．They feel cut off from the adult world into which they have not yet accepted．So they create a culture and society of their own．Then，if it turns out that their music or entertainers or vocabulary or clothes or hairstyles irritate their parents，this gives them additional enjoyment．They feel they are superior，at least in a small way，and that they are leaders in style. and taste． Sometimes you are resistant，and proud because you do not want your parents to approve of what you do．If they did approve，it looks as if you are betraying your own age group．But in that case，you are assuming that you are the underdog（劣势者）：you can’t win but at least you can keep your honor．This is passive way of looking at things．It is natural enough after long years of childhood，when you were completely under your parents’contr01．But it ignores the fact that you are nOW beginning to be responsible for yourself． If you plan to control your life，cooperation can be part of that plan．You can impress others，especially your parents，into doing things the way you want．You can impress others with your sense of responsibility and initiative，so that they will give you the authority to do what you want to do.

This passage is primarily meant for__________ ．

A.parents

B.teenagers

C.educators

？Read the article below about delegation.

？In most of the lines 34 - 45, there is one extra word. It is either grammatically incorrect or does not fit in with the meaning of the text. Some lines, however, are correct.

？If a line is correct, write CORRECT on your Answer Sheet.

？If there is an extra word in the line, write the extra word in CAPITAL LETFERS on your Answer Sheet.

Are you one of those people who doesn’t trust anyone else to do what needs to be done？ Some managers they can’t bear anyone else to help them in any way. They

34. don't believe that anyone can do such a job as well as they can. It is not surprising

35. that they then get overwhelmed by work and complain that they have far too much

36. to do, but it could be argued that it is by their own fault. If they learnt to delegate,

37. they would have much more time available. Besides the saving time and freeing

38. them to concentrate on tasks that are important, delegating also benefits to the

39. company. If managers delegate effectively, their staff will become more skilled and

40. committed. Asking staff to make the decisions improves their efficiency and morale.

41. This will contribute itself not only to the success of the team, but to the success of

42. the company as a whole. More importantly, it will also show how good a person's

43. managerial skills are, which is useful when those candidates are considered for

44. the promotion. Trusting other people to do a job properly and providing them with the

45. opportunity to do so well is therefore an essential management skill in the workplace of today.

第10题

There is a popular belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in spelling.

No school I have taught in has ever ignored spelling or considered it unimportant as a basic skill. There are, however, vastly different ideas about how to teach it, or how much priority (优先) it must be given over general language development and writing ability. The problem is how to encourage a child to express himself freely and confidently in writing without holding him back with the complexities of spelling. If spelling becomes the only focal point of his teacher's interest, clearly a bright child will be likely to "play safe." He will tend to write only words within his spelling range, choosing to avoid adventurous language. That's why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content rather than technical ability.

I was once shocked to read on the bottom of a sensitive piece of writing about a personal experience: "This work is terrible! There are far too many spelling errors and your writing is illegible (难以辨认的) ." It may have a sharp criticism of the pupil's technical abilities in writing, but it was also a sad reflection on the teacher who had omitted to read the essay, which contained some beautiful expressions of the child's deep feelings. The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the errors, but if his priorities had centered on the child's ideas, an expression of his disappointment with the presentation would have given the pupil more motivation to seek improvement.

Teachers differ in their opinions about ______.

A．the difficulties in teaching spelling

B．the role of spelling in general language development

C．the complexities of the basic writing skills

D．the necessity of teaching spelling
