阅读理解。     Since many of you are planning to study at a college or university in this country, you may be curious
to know what you usually do in a typical week, how you can get along with your fellow students, and so
on. These are the questions I want to discuss with you today.
     First, let"s talk about what your weekly schedule will look like. No matter what your major may be, you
can expect to spend between four and six hours a week for each class attending lectures. Lectures are
usually in very large rooms because some courses such as introduction to sociology or economics often have
as many as two or three hundred students, especially at large universities. In lectures, it"s very important for
you to take notes on what the professor says because the information a lecture is often different from the
information in your textbooks. Also, you can expect to have exam questions based on the lectures. So it isn"t
enough to just read your textbooks; you have to attend lectures as well. In a typical week you will also have
a couple of hours of discussion for every class you take. The discussion section is a small group meeting
usually with fewer than thirty students where you can ask questions about the lectures, the reading, and the
homework. In large universities, graduate students, called teaching assistants, usually direct discussion
sections.
     If your major is chemistry, or physics, or another science, you"ll also have to spend several hours a week
in the lab, or laboratory, doing experiments. This means that science majors spend more time in the classroom
than non science majors do. On the other hand, people who major in subjects like literature or history usually
have to read and write more than science majors do. 1. The main purpose of this text is _____. A. to help the students to learn about university life
B. to persuade the students to attend lectures
C. to encourage the students to take part in discussions
D. to advise the students to choose proper majors2. We can learn from the passage that university professors _____. A. spend about 5 hours on lectures each week
B. must join the students in the discussion sections
C. prefer to use textbooks in their lectures
D. require the students to read beyond the textbooks 3.A discussion section does NOT include _____. A. working under the guidance of university professors
B. talking over what the students have read about the courses
C. discussing the problems related to the students" homework
D. raising questions about what a professor has said in a lecture 4. According to the author, science majors _____. A. have to work harder than non science majors
B. spend less time on their studies than non science majors
C. consider experiments more important than discussions
D. read and write less than non science majors

举一反三

阅读理解。     Have you ever had the strange feeling that you were being watched? You turned around and,sure
enough, someone was looking right at you!
     Parapsychologists (灵学家) say that humans have a natural ability to sense when someone is looking
at them. To research whether such a "sixth sense" really exists, Robert Baker, a psychologist (心理学家)
at the University of Kentucky, performed two experiments.
     In the first one, Baker sat behind unknowing people in public places and stared at the backs of their
heads for 5 to 15 minutes. The subjects (受试者) were eating, drinking, reading studying, watching TV,
or working at a computer. Baker made sure that the people could not tell that he was sitting behind them
during those periods. Later, when he questioned the subjects, almost all of them said they had no sense
that someone was staring at them.
     For the second experiment, Baker told the subjects that they would be stared at from time to time from
behind a two way mirror in a laboratory setting. The people had to write down when they felt they were
being stared at and when they weren"t. Baker found that the subjects were no better at telling when they
were stared at and when they weren"t.Baker found that the subjects were no better at telling when they
were started at than if they had just guessed.
     Baker concludes that people do not have the ability to sense when they"re being stared at.If people doubt
the outcome of his two experiments, said Baker, "I suggest they repeat the experiments and see for
themselves." 1. The purpose of the two experiments is to ____. A. explain when people can have a sixth sense
B. show how people act while being watched in the lab
C. study whether humans can sense when they are stared at
D. prove why humans have a sixth sense 2. In the first experiment, the subjects _____.A. were not told that they would be stared at
B. lost their sense when they were stared at
C. were not sure when they would be stared at
D. were uncomfortable when they were stared at 3. The underlined word "outcome" in the last paragraph most probably means _____. A. value
B. result
C. performance
D. connection 4. What can be learned from the passage? A. People are born with a sixth sense.
B. The experiments support parapsychologists"idea.
C. The subjects do not have a sixth sense in the experiments.
D. People have a sixth sense in public places.

阅读理解。     "My kids really understand solar and earth-heat energy," says a second-grade teacher in Saugus,
California. "Some of them are building solar collectors for their energy course." These young scientists
are part of City Building Educational Program (CBEP), a particular program for kindergarten through
twelfth grade that uses the stages of city planning to teach basic reading, writing and math skills, and
more.
     The children don"t just plan any city. They map and analyze (分析) the housing, energy, and
transportation requirements of their own district and foretell its needs in 100 years. With the aid of an
architect (建筑师) who visits the classroom once a week, they invent new ways to meet these needs
and build models of their creations. " Designing building of the future gives children a lot of freedom,"
says the teacher who developed this program."They are able to use their own rich imagination and
inventions without fear of blame, because there are no wrong answers in a future context. In fact, as
the class enters the final model-building stage of the program, an elected "official" and "planning group"
make all the design decisions for the model city, and the teacher steps back and becomes an adviser."
     CBEP is a test of activities, games and imitations that teach the basic steps necessary for
problem-solving: observing, analyzing, working out possible answers, and judging them based on the
children"s own standards. 1. The Program is designed _______. A. to direct kids to build solar collectors
B. to train young scientists for city planning
C. to develop children"s problem-solving abilities
D. to help young architects know more about designing 2. An architect pays a weekly visit to the classroom _______. A. to find out kids" creative ideas
B. to discuss with the teacher
C. to give children lectures
D. to help kids with their program 3. Who is the designer of the program? A. An official
B. An architect
C. A teacher
D. A scientist 4. The children feel free in the program because _______.A. they can design future buildings themselves
B. they have new ideas and rich imagination
C. they are given enough time to design models
D. they need not worry about making mistakes

阅读理解。     Lions are opportunists. They prefer to eat without having to do too much work. When resting in the
shade, they are also watching the sky to see what is flying by, and even in the heat of the day they will
suddenly start up and run a mile across the plains to find out what is going on. If another animal has made
a kill, they will drive it off and take the dill for themselves. A grown lion can easily eat 60 pounds of meat
at a single feeding. Often they eat until it seems painful for them to lie down.
     The lioneases (母狮), being thinner and faster, are better hunters (猎手) than the males (雄狮). But the
males don"t mind. After the kill they move in and take the test share.
     Most kills are made at night or just before daybreak. We have seen many, many daylight attempts but
only ten kills. Roughly, It"s about twenty daytime attempts for one kill.
     When lions are hiding for an attack by a water hole, they wait patiently and can charge at any second.

their time, about 20 hours a day, sleeping and resting.
     Lions are social cats, and when they are having a rest, they love to touch each other. After drinking at
a water hole, a lioness rests her head on another"s back. When walking, young lions often touch faces with

阅读理解。     To extinguish (熄灭) different kinds of fires, several types of fire extinguishers have been invented.
They must be ready for immediate use when fire breaks out. Most portable (手提式的) kinds operate
for less than a minute, so they are useful only on small fires. The law requires ships, trains, buses and
planes to carry extinguishers.
     Since fuel, oxygen (氧气) and heat must be present in order for fire to exist, one or more of these
things must be removed or reduced to extinguish a fire. If the heat is reduced by cooling the material
below a certain temperature, the fire goes out. The cooling method is the most common way to put out
a fire. Water is the best cooling material because it is low in cost and easy to get.
     Another method of extinguishing fire is by cutting off the oxygen. This is usually done by covering
the fire with sand, steam or some other things. A blanket may be used do cover a small fire.
     A third method is called separation, which includes removing the fuel, or material easy to burn, from
a fire, so that it can find no fuel.
     The method that is used to put out a fire depends upon the type of fire. Fires have been grouped in
three classes. Fires in wood, paper, cloth and the like are called Class A fires. These materials usually help
keep the fire on. Such fires can be stopped most readily by cooling with water. 1. If a fire breaks out on a bus, which of the follow should be ready there for you to use?A. Sand
B. Water
C. A blanket.
D. An extinguisher. 2. To cover a small piece of burning wood with a basin in order to stop the fire is an example of _____.A. separating the fire
B. reducing the heat
C. removing the fuel
D. cutting off the oxygen 3. In choosing how to put out a fire, we should first be clear about _____. A. when it breaks out
B. how it comes about
C. what kind it is
D. where it takes place 4. What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows? A. Another class of fires
B. Another type of extinguishers
C. How fires break out.
D. How fires can be prevented.
