Normally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and each course that he attends gives him a credit, which he may count towards a degree. In many American universities the total work for a degree consists of thirty-six courses, each lasting for a term. A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks; while attending a university a student will probably attend two terms a year. It is possible to spread a period of work for the degree over a longer period. It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this in fact is not done as a regular practice.

      For every course that he follows a student is given a grade, which is recorded and available for the student to show employers. All this imposes a constant pressure and strain of study, but in spite of this some students still find time for great activities in student affairs. Elections to positions in the student union arouse great interests. Students who are qualified usually perform the effective work of the student union. With the big numbers of students, the operation of the system does involve a certain number of activities. A student who has held one of these positions in the union is much respected and it will be of benefit to him.

 

79. How many classes does an American student have to attend each term to get a credit?

   A. 30              B. 40               C. 45               D. 60

80. According to the writer, a grade is provided ________.

   A. to the parents who care for it

   B. to impose a pressure on the students

   C. to see whether a student is more intelligent

   D. as a record showed to the employers in job-interview.

81. The bolded phrase "be of benefit" means ________.

   A. be demanding     B. be pleasant       C. be rewarding       D. be considerate

82. Which of the following is unlikely to be inferred from the passage?

   A. A student can get two degrees from different universities at the same time.

   B. A student is allowed to study in two specific universities.

   C. A student may continue to study for degree while working.

   D. It is possible for a student to take five years to get a degree.

注意：每個(gè)空格只填一個(gè)單詞。

Fruit also makes up a flowering plant. It carries the seeds . The purpose of fruit is to protect a plant’s seeds and help them get spread about. Wind and water spread seeds .So do animals when they eat fruit and drop the seeds .

There are two main types of fruit: fleshy and dry. Fleshy fruits are soft and juicy , the way we usually think of fruits . Peaches ,plums ,and apples are all fleshy fruits . Dry fruits are thin and hard . Grains like wheat and rice , or nuts are dry fruits.

You’ve eaten seedless oranges and grapes . How can they be fruits? It’s because people have changed the way they grow fruit. They can now grow seedless fruit . Seedless fruit comes from special plants called hybrids(雜交生物體) . A hybrid is made by combining two varieties of a fruit to form a new variety . This hybrid grows and produces seeds . But the plants grown from these seeds are seedless . These plants cannot reproduce themselves.

A tomato is a vegetable , right? No , it’s actually a fruit . Other food we think of as vegetables—such as squash , peppers ,and eggplant—also are fruit . They’re fruit because they carry seeds and develop from flowers . Here’s another surprise . Scientists classify the tomato as a berry(漿果) . In addition , they don’t consider some fruits we call berries to be true berries because a berry is normally a type of fruit with a lot of seeds inside it . Technically , a strawberry , isn’t a berry , because it has its seeds on the outside . The red part is just the tip of the strawberry stem that’s enlarged.

Fruits are a source of nourishing(滋養(yǎng)) substances that keep us alive and healthy . For example , they contain many vitamins , especially vitamins A and C, and many minerals . They also provide fibre for a healthy digestive system and carbohydrates that the body needs to make energy.

Before the early 1960’s people interested in the differing roles of the left and right hemispheres(半球) of the brain depended almost entirely on facts drawn from animal research, form studies of patients with one-sided brain damage. But it was possible to find out which brain hemisphere was most involved in speech and other functions in normal people by having them listen to two different words coming to the two ears at the same time. This became known as the “dichotic listening” procedure. When several word pairs are given in a row, people are unable to report them all, and most right-handers prefer to report, and report more correctly, words given to their right ears. This seems to be related to the fact that signals from the right ear, although sent to both hemispheres, are better sent to the left hemisphere which controls speech. People who have speech represented(回憶) in the right hemisphere, a very unusual occurrence even in left-handed people, more correctly report what their left ears hear.

In contrast to the right-ear advantage for speech, there is generally a left-ear advantage for another type of auditory(聽(tīng)覺(jué)的) signal: music. When right-handed people listen to melodic patterns they report them better from the left ear.

Which of the following would be the most proper title for the passage?

A. An Introduction to Speech Damage in Patients with Brain Damage.

B. An Investigation into the Role of the Brain’s Hemispheres.

C. An Analysis of Left and Right-handed People.

D. An Examination of “Dichotic Listening”.

The “dichotic listening” procedure could best be described as hearing _______.

A. two different words in the same ear twice

B. the same word twice in the same ear

C. two different words in different ears

D. two different words twice in two ears

according to the passage, right-handed people normally _______.

A. have better hearing in their both ears

B. have little difficulty in reporting words given to their right ears

C. are unable to report word pairs given to their left ears

D. correctly report word pairs given in a row

according to the passage, music is best appreciated when heard by _______.

A. the left ear of right-handers

B. people with a left-ear advantage

C. left-handers in their right ears

D. right-handed people who understand melodic patterns

Paparazzi, or "paps", are photographers who take pictures of famous people when they are not at the center of public attention. Paps are different from professional photographers or journalists because they never take ordinary photos.
The goal for paparazzi is to get pictures that no one else will get and then sell the pictures to the buyer who offers the most money —normally a small newspaper, magazine or website.
There is no law against paparazzi taking pictures in public places. However, there are laws that protect certain individuals. For example, child protection laws stop improper (不合適的) pictures of anyone under 16 from being published.
There is also no law that stops paparazzi from following celebrities (名人) and taking their pictures either. However, if paps are secretly following them and taking pictures of their faces, they could get into trouble.
Most paparazzi hang out on streets and hot spots for celebrities, waiting for the opportunity to take a picture of a star. Many stay on the streets until the early hours of the morning when celebrities are leaving nightclubs and looking a little worse for wear. However, some have other ways to make sure they get pictures. Many paps are in contact with "informers" who know the locations of celebrities at any given time. They then pass the information on to paparazzi. An informer could be anyone —from a restaurant waiter to a salesman.
Most of the time, paparazzi get a bad reputation for following celebrities. But sometimes stars or their managers will contact paps themselves and tell them exactly where and when they will go.
What a love-hate relationship between paparazzi and celebrities!
【小題1】Which of the following things paparazzi might do would be against the law?

A．Taking pictures of famous people in public places.
B．Getting unsuitable pictures of a 10-year-old actress published.
C．Following a famous woman singer secretly and taking her pictures.
D．Hanging out at the places where celebrities often appear.
【小題2】In order to earn big money a pap has to ________.
A．get the only first-hand pictures
B．sell the pictures to a big newspaper
C．make friends with famous people
D．know the locations of celebrities
【小題3】The fifth paragraph mainly tells us ________.
A．how paparazzi get the pictures
B．how dangerous paparazzi’s job is
C．how much paparazzi pay for the pictures
D．how paparazzi contact informers
【小題4】What can we infer from the passage?
A．Paparazzi always take pictures when famous people are tired.
B．Stars hate paparazzi and don’t want to be followed.
C．Paparazzi and famous people rely on each other sometimes.
D．Informers might get paparazzi into trouble.

American researchers have developed a technique that may become an important tool in fighting AIDS virus from attacking its target-cells in the body's defense system．When AIDS virus enters the blood，it searches for blood cells called T4 lymphocytes(淋巴細(xì)胞)．The virus connects to the outside of T4 lymphocytes．Then it forces its way inside．There it directs the cells' genetic material to produce copies of the AIDS virus．This is how AIDS spreads．
Researchers think they may be able to stop AIDS from connecting to T4 ceils．When AIDS virus finds a T4 cell，it actually connects to a part of the cell called CD4 protein．
Researchers want to fool the virus by putting copies or clones of the CD4 protein into the blood．This way the AIDS virus will connect to cloned protein instead of the real ones．Scientists use genetic engineering methods to make the clones．Normally a CD4 protein remains on the T4 cell at all times；the AIDS virus must go to it．
In a new technique，however，the cloned CD4 protein is not connected to a cell．It floats freely，so a lot more can be put into the blood to keep the AIDS virus away from real CD4 protein on T4 cells．One report says the．AIDS virus connects to cloned protein just as effectively as it connects to real protein．That report was based on tests with blood cells grown in labs．The technique is just now beginning to be tested in animals．If successful，it may be tested in humans within a year．
【小題1】The new technique can     .

A．cure AIDS
B．kill the AIDS virus
C．prevent the AIDS virus from spreading
D．produce new anti-AIDS cells
【小題2】When the AIDS virus enters the blood，it is reproduced by     .
A．itself
B．the blood cells
C．the CD4 protein
D．the genetic material of T4 lymphocytes
【小題3】The AIDS virus connects to cloned protein instead of the real CD4 protein because    .
A．cloned protein stays On the T4 cells
B．it connects to cloned protein more effectively
C．cloned protein is made by genetic engineering methods
D．cloned protein floats freely，and many more can be put into the blood
【小題4】Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A．The new technique has been tested in labs．
B．The new technique is being tested in animals．
C．The new technique may be tested in humans．
D．The new technique is now under clinic test．
【小題5】The best title for this passage is     ．
A．AIDS-a deadly disease
B．A new technique in fighting AIDS
C．The spread of AIDS virus
D．The cloned CD4 protein
