答题卡填涂说明： 填涂复合字母选项时，请将代表该选项的两个字母同时都涂黑。

Reading is your easiest way to “feel” English. It is not painful, but helps a lot. There are too many materials for you to read and you must select those you find useful, appropriate and have interest in. Besides printed materials, you can also do Web reading. Newspapers and magazines are 41 recommended for extensive reading, because the things 42 in them are always changing, so you should never get bored of that.
You can learn English quickly by seeing English films 43 , or watching English television and videos daily. Pick shows that interest you and try to imitate how they pronounce the words.
Also, try to find people to practice English. Language is for communication, which is an interactive (交互的) 44 . The best practice is conversation. You should socialize with those skillful in the language. The more you speak, the more comfortable and 45 you are with English. Of course, you can also take some intensive 46 through special tutorials, in which some of your problems would be 47 and you are taught some more.
? However, you have to be 48 in finding where you “learn” your English. Someone who misleads you by giving wrong guidance would spoil your English learning. You could pick up a lot of bad habits and 49 grammar from TV or newspapers/magazines that go rather informal sometimes. If you want to get better at English, you should fight against those persistent and chronic habits and get them fixed.?
Ⅲ. Cloze
Directions: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
It is natural that young people are often uncomfortable when they are with their parents. They say that their parents don’t 50 them. They often think that their parents are out of touch with modern ways; that they are too 51 and too strict with their children; and they seldom give their children a 52 hand. It is true that parents often find it difficult to win their children’s trust and they tend to forget how they themselves felt when 53 .
For example, young people like to act on the spot without much thinking. It is one of their ways to 54 that they have grown up and they can face any difficult situation. Older people worry more easily. Most of them plan things ahead, at least in the back of their minds, and do not like their plans to be upset by something 55 .
When you want your parents to let you do something, you will be more 56 if you ask for their permission before you really start doing it.
Young people often make their parents angry at their 57 in clothes, in entertainment and music. But they do not mean to 58 ; it is just that they feel cut off from the older people’s world, into which they have not yet been 59 . That’s why young people want to make a new culture of their own. And if their parents do not like music or entertainment or clothes or their way of speech, this will make the young people extremely happy.
Sometimes you are so 60 yourself that you do not want your parents to say “yes” to what you do. All you want is to be left alone and do what you like. It is 61 enough, after being a child for so many years, when you were 62 under your parents’ control.
If you plan to control your 63 , you’d better win your parents over and try to get them to understand you. If your parents see that you have a high sense of 64 , they will certainly give you the right to do what you want to do.
50. A. protect B. refuse C. understand D. guide
51. A. serious B. kind C. considerate D. honest
52. A. helpful B. free C. usual D. real
53. A. angry B. busy C. tired D. young
54. A. show B. say C. complain D. deny
55. A. uninterrupted B. unavoidable C. unexpected D. unrespectable
56. A. dissatisfied B. successful C. uncomfortable D. energetic
57. A. designs B. knowledge C. glance D. choices
58. A. cause any trouble B. make fun
C. keep their words D. show respect
59. A. separated B. protected C. respected D. accepted

63. A. study B. life C. expense D. emotion
64. A. beauty B. time C. responsibility D. leadership
Ⅳ. Reading Comprehension
Directions: Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
There are many famous museums throughout the world where people can enjoy art. Washington, D.C. has the National Gallery of Art; Paris has the Luvre; London, the British Museum. Florida International University (FIU) in Miami also shows art for people to see. And it does so without a building, or even a wall for its drawings and paintings.
FIU has opened what it says is the first computer art museum in the United States. You don’t have to visit the University to see the art. You just need a computer linked to a telephone. You can call the telephone number of a university computer and connect your own computer to it. All of the art is stored in the school computer. It is computer art, produced electronically by artists on their own computers. In only a few minutes, your computer can receive and copy all the pictures and drawings.
Robert Shostak is director of the new computer museum. He says he started the museum because computer artists had no place to show their works.
A computer artist can only record his pictures electronically and send the records, or floppy discs, to others to see on their computers. He can also put his pictures on paper. But to print good pictures on paper, the computer artist needs an expensive laser printer.
Robert Shostak says the electronic museum is mostly for art or computer students at schools and universities. Many of the pictures in the museum are made by students. Mr. Shostak said the FIU museum will make computer art more fun for computer artists because more people can see it. He says artists enjoy their work much more if they have an audience. And the great number of home computers in America could mean a huge audience for the electronic museum.
65. The main purpose of this passage is to give information about __________.
A. museums throughout the world
B. an electronic art museum in Miami, U.S.A
C. art exhibitions in Florida International University
D. latest development of computer art
66. To see the art in FIU museum, people need __________.
A. floppy discs
B. a computer and a printer
C. pictures and drawings on paper
D. a computer connected to the museum by telephone line
67. The FIU museum was started when __________.
A. Robert Shostak wanted to do something for computer scientists
B. art students needed a place to show their works
C. Robert Shostak wanted to help computer artists
D. computer scientists wanted to do something about art
68. “An audience” in the last paragraph refers to __________.
A. computer owners B. art students
C. those who will enjoy art D. computer artists
(B)
(You may read the questions first.)
Pearlcorder S702
This simple model at the bottom of the Olympus range scored the most points for its excellent quality of recording. Background noise hardly affects the sound and recording from a pocket is perfectly possible, but it doesn't turn off automatically.
Price: $64
Tape length: 30 minutes per side.
Weight: 240g.
Sony M9
Small and very good looking. Sony's latest offering scored most for appearance. Sounds clear, but there is slight machine noise. The big control buttons are a great improvement on some of the complicated little controls on other tape-recorders. Doesn't switch off automatically but a red light shows if the machine is still running.
Price: $ 49. 95
Tape length: 60 minutes per side.
Weight: 195g.
Sony M400
Lots of little control buttons that make a noise and are difficult to use. Recording was good but machine noise lost points. Tape counter and automatic switch-off when tape has finished recording or rewinding are useful.
Price: $ 115
Tape length: 60 minutes per side.
Weight: 230g.
Imperial OEM MC7
Cheap and simple compared with the rest, but recording was good as long as there was no background noise. Use only its own make of cassette. No light to show it is on, no fast forward button and the record button makes a loud noise.
Price: $ 29. 95
Tape length: 30 minutes per side.
Weight: 285g.
Philips 585
Handsome and simple to use, but recording is very poor at more than the recommended distance of 5 cm-designed for dictation. No recording light.
Price: $80
Tape length: 15 minutes per side.
Weight: 220g.
Copyright ? 1995-2007 Royal National Institute of Blind People, Registered Charity Number 226227.
69. The machine that produces the best recording with the least unwanted noise is the __________.

__________.
A. Pearlcorder S702 B. Sony M9
C. Sony M400 D. Philips 585
71. What disadvantage does only the Imperial OEM MC7 have?
A. No light shows when it is on. B. It requires a special cassette.
C. It picks up background noise. D. The button makes a noise.
(C)
Generations of children who sat through endless lessons of “chalk and talk” in front of a bossy (专横的) teacher can take some relief. But the “chalk and talk” method helped them achieve better exam results. Modern classroom techniques may make school days a good deal happier, but satisfaction is not the road to success in examinations, according to university researchers.
Their three-year study, monitoring the progress of 2000 teenagers, tried to measure the influence of the “boredom factor” in 17 selected schools in the north of England. The researchers also found that the old-fashioned approach of teachers ordering pupils about is still alive and producing results. Their conclusions were welcomed yesterday by educationists who were worried by the shift to less formal lessons.
The pupils in the latest study were asked to award teachers marks to measure how frequently they followed or ignored today’s fashion for “child-centered” education. A five-point scale was given to spot the teachers who always told them what they should know and what to write down. “It was significant and not anything you would get by chance or accident. Certainly, when you compare the pupils’ interest and attitude to school, there is a quite definite and highly significant difference,” one of the researchers said. But the rankings were turned upside down when the team of four researchers looked at how the children did in examination. The sort of methods now frowned upon (不赞同) actually improve the final grades.
The researchers said, “There is nothing wrong with old-fashioned, didactic (说教性的) teaching in the fight place, even if it isn’t the flavor at the moment.” However, they insisted the best teachers had always mixed the two techniques to match the needs of pupils, although certain examinations forced some to concentrate more on dictation and learning by rote (死记硬背).?
72. University researchers have discovered that __________.
A. modern teaching methods provide students with entertainment?
B. students taught by modern techniques are happy and successful?
C. traditional teaching methods help students get higher score?
D. students like old teaching better than modern teaching at school?
73. We can infer from Paragraph 3 that __________.?
A. child-centered education promotes friendship among children?
B. the research findings are not significant enough for a conclusion?
C. those who show greater interest in school did better in exams?
D. those who don’t show much interest in school may turn out to score higher in tests
74. The researchers suggest that __________.
A. more old methods be used in teaching?
B. students be taught how to score high in exams?
C. dictation be used as one of the best teaching methods?
D. old and new methods be used together?
75. Which of the following is probably the best title of the passage?
A. The Examination-based Teaching
B. Rote Learning Was the Winner
C. The Problem of Child-centered Education
D. The Problem of the Traditional Method
(D)
By almost any measure, there is a boom in Internet-based instruction. In just a few years, 34 percent of American universities have begun offering some form of distance learning (DL), and among the larger schools, it’s closer to 90 percent. If you doubt the popularity of the trend, you probable haven’t heard of the University of Phoenix. It grants degrees entirely on the basis of online instruction. It enrolls 90,000 students, a statistic (数据) used to support its claim to be the largest private university in the country.
While the kinds of instruction offered in these programs will differ, DL usually indicates a course in which the instructors post syllabi (课程大纲), reading assignments, and schedules on Websites, and students send in their assignments by e-mail. Generally speaking, face-to-face communication with an instructor is minimized or eliminated altogether.
The attraction for students might at first seem obvious. Primarily, there’s the convenience promised by courses on the net: you can do the work, as they say, in your pajamas (睡衣), but figures indicate that the reduced effort results in a reduced commitment to the course. While dropout (辍学) rates for all freshmen at American universities is around 20 percent, the rate for online students is 35 percent. Students themselves seem to understand the weakness inherent (内在的) in the setup. In a survey conducted for eCornell, the DL division of Cornell University, less than a third of the respondents expected the quality of the online course to be as good as the classroom course.
Clearly, from the school’s perspective, there’s a lot of money to be saved. Although some of the more ambitious programs require new investments in servers and networks to support collaborative software, most DL courses can run on existing or minimally upgraded (升级) systems. The more students who enroll in a course but don’t come to campus, the more the school saves on keeping the lights on in the classrooms, paying doorkeepers, and maintaining parking lots, and, while there’s evidence that instructors must work harder to run a DL course for a variety of reasons, they won’t be paid any more, and might well be paid less.
76. What is the most significant feature of the University of Phoenix?
A. Anyone taking its online courses is sure to get a degree.
B. All its courses are offered online.
C. It boasts the largest number of students on campus.
D. Its online courses are of the best quality.
77. Many students take Internet-based courses mainly because they can __________.
A. work on the required courses whenever and wherever
B. save a great deal on traveling and boarding expenses
C. select courses from various colleges and universities
D. earn their academic degrees with much less effort
78. What’s the reason of the high dropout rates for online students?
A. There is no strict control over the academic standards of the course.
B. The evaluation system used by online universities is inherently weak.
C. There is no method to ensure that they make the required effort.
D. Lack of classroom interaction reduces the effectiveness of instruction.
79. According to the passage, universities show great enthusiasm for DL programs for the purpose of __________.
A. upgrading their teaching facilities B. building up their reputation
C. providing convenience for students D. cutting down on their expenses
(E)
Directions: Read the text and choose the most suitable heading from this list for each paragraph of the text. There is one extra heading.
A. Classroom participation
B. Differences in American university education
C. Examination system
D. Competition among students
E. Honest policy in students’ school work
F. Students’ responsibility for learning
80.
There is considerable variety in university classrooms in the United States. Because of diverse teaching methods and non-standardized curricula (课程), no two courses are the same. Undergraduate courses are considerable different from graduate courses. The classroom atmosphere in expensive, private universities may differ from that in community colleges which are free and open to everyone.
81.
Participation (参与) in the classroom is not only accepted but also expected of the student in many courses. Some professors base part of the final grade on the student’s oral participation. Although there are formal lectures during which the student has a passive role (i.e., listening and taking notes), many courses are organized around classroom discussions, student questions, and informal lectures.??
82.
Many teachers believe that the responsibility for learning lies with the student. If a long reading assignment is given, instructors expect students to be familiar with the information in the reading even if they do not discuss it in class or give an examination. (Courses are not designed merely for students to pass exams.) The ideal student is considered to be one who is motivated to learn for the sake of learning, not the one interested only in getting high grades.?
83.
Ideally, the teacher-student relationship at universities is characterized by trust. The honor system, put forward by the teacher and the university demands that the student be honest in all areas of school work. Thus, cheating on tests, plagiarizing (抄袭) in written work, presenting other’s ideas as original, and turning in homework completed by someone else are all prohibited (禁止).?
84.
Relationships between students in the classroom can be cooperative or competitive. International students should not hesitate to ask for help if it is needed. There are courses, however, where grades are calculated in relation to other student’s scores. Therefore, in classes where such a grading curve is used, students may be reluctant to share lecture notes or information for fear that their own grades will suffer.??

Reading is your easiest way to “feel” English. It is not painful, but helps a lot. There are too many materials for you to read and you must select those you find useful, appropriate and have interest in. Besides printed materials, you can also do Web reading. Newspapers and magazines are 41 recommended for extensive reading, because the things 42 in them are always changing, so you should never get bored of that.
You can learn English quickly by seeing English films 43 , or watching English television and videos daily. Pick shows that interest you and try to imitate how they pronounce the words.
Also, try to find people to practice English. Language is for communication, which is an interactive (交互的) 44 . The best practice is conversation. You should socialize with those skillful in the language. The more you speak, the more comfortable and 45 you are with English. Of course, you can also take some intensive 46 through special tutorials, in which some of your problems would be 47 and you are taught some more.
? However, you have to be 48 in finding where you “learn” your English. Someone who misleads you by giving wrong guidance would spoil your English learning. You could pick up a lot of bad habits and 49 grammar from TV or newspapers/magazines that go rather informal sometimes. If you want to get better at English, you should fight against those persistent and chronic habits and get them fixed.?
Ⅲ. Cloze
Directions: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
It is natural that young people are often uncomfortable when they are with their parents. They say that their parents don’t 50 them. They often think that their parents are out of touch with modern ways; that they are too 51 and too strict with their children; and they seldom give their children a 52 hand. It is true that parents often find it difficult to win their children’s trust and they tend to forget how they themselves felt when 53 .
For example, young people like to act on the spot without much thinking. It is one of their ways to 54 that they have grown up and they can face any difficult situation. Older people worry more easily. Most of them plan things ahead, at least in the back of their minds, and do not like their plans to be upset by something 55 .
When you want your parents to let you do something, you will be more 56 if you ask for their permission before you really start doing it.
Young people often make their parents angry at their 57 in clothes, in entertainment and music. But they do not mean to 58 ; it is just that they feel cut off from the older people’s world, into which they have not yet been 59 . That’s why young people want to make a new culture of their own. And if their parents do not like music or entertainment or clothes or their way of speech, this will make the young people extremely happy.
Sometimes you are so 60 yourself that you do not want your parents to say “yes” to what you do. All you want is to be left alone and do what you like. It is 61 enough, after being a child for so many years, when you were 62 under your parents’ control.
If you plan to control your 63 , you’d better win your parents over and try to get them to understand you. If your parents see that you have a high sense of 64 , they will certainly give you the right to do what you want to do.
50. A. protect B. refuse C. understand D. guide
51. A. serious B. kind C. considerate D. honest
52. A. helpful B. free C. usual D. real
53. A. angry B. busy C. tired D. young
54. A. show B. say C. complain D. deny
55. A. uninterrupted B. unavoidable C. unexpected D. unrespectable
56. A. dissatisfied B. successful C. uncomfortable D. energetic
57. A. designs B. knowledge C. glance D. choices
58. A. cause any trouble B. make fun
C. keep their words D. show respect
59. A. separated B. protected C. respected D. accepted

63. A. study B. life C. expense D. emotion
64. A. beauty B. time C. responsibility D. leadership
Ⅳ. Reading Comprehension
Directions: Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
There are many famous museums throughout the world where people can enjoy art. Washington, D.C. has the National Gallery of Art; Paris has the Luvre; London, the British Museum. Florida International University (FIU) in Miami also shows art for people to see. And it does so without a building, or even a wall for its drawings and paintings.
FIU has opened what it says is the first computer art museum in the United States. You don’t have to visit the University to see the art. You just need a computer linked to a telephone. You can call the telephone number of a university computer and connect your own computer to it. All of the art is stored in the school computer. It is computer art, produced electronically by artists on their own computers. In only a few minutes, your computer can receive and copy all the pictures and drawings.
Robert Shostak is director of the new computer museum. He says he started the museum because computer artists had no place to show their works.
A computer artist can only record his pictures electronically and send the records, or floppy discs, to others to see on their computers. He can also put his pictures on paper. But to print good pictures on paper, the computer artist needs an expensive laser printer.
Robert Shostak says the electronic museum is mostly for art or computer students at schools and universities. Many of the pictures in the museum are made by students. Mr. Shostak said the FIU museum will make computer art more fun for computer artists because more people can see it. He says artists enjoy their work much more if they have an audience. And the great number of home computers in America could mean a huge audience for the electronic museum.
65. The main purpose of this passage is to give information about __________.
A. museums throughout the world
B. an electronic art museum in Miami, U.S.A
C. art exhibitions in Florida International University
D. latest development of computer art
66. To see the art in FIU museum, people need __________.
A. floppy discs
B. a computer and a printer
C. pictures and drawings on paper
D. a computer connected to the museum by telephone line
67. The FIU museum was started when __________.
A. Robert Shostak wanted to do something for computer scientists
B. art students needed a place to show their works
C. Robert Shostak wanted to help computer artists
D. computer scientists wanted to do something about art
68. “An audience” in the last paragraph refers to __________.
A. computer owners B. art students
C. those who will enjoy art D. computer artists
(B)
(You may read the questions first.)
Pearlcorder S702
This simple model at the bottom of the Olympus range scored the most points for its excellent quality of recording. Background noise hardly affects the sound and recording from a pocket is perfectly possible, but it doesn't turn off automatically.
Price: $64
Tape length: 30 minutes per side.
Weight: 240g.
Sony M9
Small and very good looking. Sony's latest offering scored most for appearance. Sounds clear, but there is slight machine noise. The big control buttons are a great improvement on some of the complicated little controls on other tape-recorders. Doesn't switch off automatically but a red light shows if the machine is still running.
Price: $ 49. 95
Tape length: 60 minutes per side.
Weight: 195g.
Sony M400
Lots of little control buttons that make a noise and are difficult to use. Recording was good but machine noise lost points. Tape counter and automatic switch-off when tape has finished recording or rewinding are useful.
Price: $ 115
Tape length: 60 minutes per side.
Weight: 230g.
Imperial OEM MC7
Cheap and simple compared with the rest, but recording was good as long as there was no background noise. Use only its own make of cassette. No light to show it is on, no fast forward button and the record button makes a loud noise.
Price: $ 29. 95
Tape length: 30 minutes per side.
Weight: 285g.
Philips 585
Handsome and simple to use, but recording is very poor at more than the recommended distance of 5 cm-designed for dictation. No recording light.
Price: $80
Tape length: 15 minutes per side.
Weight: 220g.
Copyright ? 1995-2007 Royal National Institute of Blind People, Registered Charity Number 226227.

__________.
A. Pearlcorder S702 B. Sony M9
C. Sony M400 D. Philips 585
71. What disadvantage does only the Imperial OEM MC7 have?
A. No light shows when it is on. B. It requires a special cassette.
C. It picks up background noise. D. The button makes a noise.
(C)
Generations of children who sat through endless lessons of “chalk and talk” in front of a bossy (专横的) teacher can take some relief. But the “chalk and talk” method helped them achieve better exam results. Modern classroom techniques may make school days a good deal happier, but satisfaction is not the road to success in examinations, according to university researchers.
Their three-year study, monitoring the progress of 2000 teenagers, tried to measure the influence of the “boredom factor” in 17 selected schools in the north of England. The researchers also found that the old-fashioned approach of teachers ordering pupils about is still alive and producing results. Their conclusions were welcomed yesterday by educationists who were worried by the shift to less formal lessons.
The pupils in the latest study were asked to award teachers marks to measure how frequently they followed or ignored today’s fashion for “child-centered” education. A five-point scale was given to spot the teachers who always told them what they should know and what to write down. “It was significant and not anything you would get by chance or accident. Certainly, when you compare the pupils’ interest and attitude to school, there is a quite definite and highly significant difference,” one of the researchers said. But the rankings were turned upside down when the team of four researchers looked at how the children did in examination. The sort of methods now frowned upon (不赞同) actually improve the final grades.
The researchers said, “There is nothing wrong with old-fashioned, didactic (说教性的) teaching in the fight place, even if it isn’t the flavor at the moment.” However, they insisted the best teachers had always mixed the two techniques to match the needs of pupils, although certain examinations forced some to concentrate more on dictation and learning by rote (死记硬背).?
72. University researchers have discovered that __________.
A. modern teaching methods provide students with entertainment?
B. students taught by modern techniques are happy and successful?
C. traditional teaching methods help students get higher score?
D. students like old teaching better than modern teaching at school?
73. We can infer from Paragraph 3 that __________.?
A. child-centered education promotes friendship among children?
B. the research findings are not significant enough for a conclusion?
C. those who show greater interest in school did better in exams?
D. those who don’t show much interest in school may turn out to score higher in tests
74. The researchers suggest that __________.
A. more old methods be used in teaching?
B. students be taught how to score high in exams?
C. dictation be used as one of the best teaching methods?
D. old and new methods be used together?
75. Which of the following is probably the best title of the passage?
A. The Examination-based Teaching
B. Rote Learning Was the Winner
C. The Problem of Child-centered Education
D. The Problem of the Traditional Method
(D)
By almost any measure, there is a boom in Internet-based instruction. In just a few years, 34 percent of American universities have begun offering some form of distance learning (DL), and among the larger schools, it’s closer to 90 percent. If you doubt the popularity of the trend, you probable haven’t heard of the University of Phoenix. It grants degrees entirely on the basis of online instruction. It enrolls 90,000 students, a statistic (数据) used to support its claim to be the largest private university in the country.
While the kinds of instruction offered in these programs will differ, DL usually indicates a course in which the instructors post syllabi (课程大纲), reading assignments, and schedules on Websites, and students send in their assignments by e-mail. Generally speaking, face-to-face communication with an instructor is minimized or eliminated altogether.
The attraction for students might at first seem obvious. Primarily, there’s the convenience promised by courses on the net: you can do the work, as they say, in your pajamas (睡衣), but figures indicate that the reduced effort results in a reduced commitment to the course. While dropout (辍学) rates for all freshmen at American universities is around 20 percent, the rate for online students is 35 percent. Students themselves seem to understand the weakness inherent (内在的) in the setup. In a survey conducted for eCornell, the DL division of Cornell University, less than a third of the respondents expected the quality of the online course to be as good as the classroom course.
Clearly, from the school’s perspective, there’s a lot of money to be saved. Although some of the more ambitious programs require new investments in servers and networks to support collaborative software, most DL courses can run on existing or minimally upgraded (升级) systems. The more students who enroll in a course but don’t come to campus, the more the school saves on keeping the lights on in the classrooms, paying doorkeepers, and maintaining parking lots, and, while there’s evidence that instructors must work harder to run a DL course for a variety of reasons, they won’t be paid any more, and might well be paid less.
76. What is the most significant feature of the University of Phoenix?
A. Anyone taking its online courses is sure to get a degree.
B. All its courses are offered online.
C. It boasts the largest number of students on campus.
D. Its online courses are of the best quality.
77. Many students take Internet-based courses mainly because they can __________.
A. work on the required courses whenever and wherever
B. save a great deal on traveling and boarding expenses
C. select courses from various colleges and universities
D. earn their academic degrees with much less effort
78. What’s the reason of the high dropout rates for online students?
A. There is no strict control over the academic standards of the course.
B. The evaluation system used by online universities is inherently weak.
C. There is no method to ensure that they make the required effort.
D. Lack of classroom interaction reduces the effectiveness of instruction.
79. According to the passage, universities show great enthusiasm for DL programs for the purpose of __________.
A. upgrading their teaching facilities B. building up their reputation
C. providing convenience for students D. cutting down on their expenses
(E)
Directions: Read the text and choose the most suitable heading from this list for each paragraph of the text. There is one extra heading.
A. Classroom participation
B. Differences in American university education
C. Examination system
D. Competition among students
E. Honest policy in students’ school work
F. Students’ responsibility for learning
80.
There is considerable variety in university classrooms in the United States. Because of diverse teaching methods and non-standardized curricula (课程), no two courses are the same. Undergraduate courses are considerable different from graduate courses. The classroom atmosphere in expensive, private universities may differ from that in community colleges which are free and open to everyone.
81.
Participation (参与) in the classroom is not only accepted but also expected of the student in many courses. Some professors base part of the final grade on the student’s oral participation. Although there are formal lectures during which the student has a passive role (i.e., listening and taking notes), many courses are organized around classroom discussions, student questions, and informal lectures.??
82.
Many teachers believe that the responsibility for learning lies with the student. If a long reading assignment is given, instructors expect students to be familiar with the information in the reading even if they do not discuss it in class or give an examination. (Courses are not designed merely for students to pass exams.) The ideal student is considered to be one who is motivated to learn for the sake of learning, not the one interested only in getting high grades.?
83.
Ideally, the teacher-student relationship at universities is characterized by trust. The honor system, put forward by the teacher and the university demands that the student be honest in all areas of school work. Thus, cheating on tests, plagiarizing (抄袭) in written work, presenting other’s ideas as original, and turning in homework completed by someone else are all prohibited (禁止).?
84.
Relationships between students in the classroom can be cooperative or competitive. International students should not hesitate to ask for help if it is needed. There are courses, however, where grades are calculated in relation to other student’s scores. Therefore, in classes where such a grading curve is used, students may be reluctant to share lecture notes or information for fear that their own grades will suffer.??
