SECTION A READING COMPREHENSION〔25 MIN.〕�

In this section there are four passages followed by fifteen questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D . Choose the one that you think is the correct answer. Mark your choice in your answer sheet. �

TEXT A

University teaching in the United Kingdom is very different at both undergraduate and graduate levels from that of many overseas countries.�
An undergraduate course consists of a series of lectures, seminars and tutorials and, in science and engineering, laboratory classes, which in total account for about 15 hours per week. Arts students may well find that their official contact with teachers is less than this average, while science and engineering students may expect to be timetabled for up to 20 hours per week. Students studying for a particular degree will take a series of lecture courses which run in parallel at a fixed time in each week and may last one academic term or the whole year. Associated with each lecture course are seminars, tutorials and laboratory classes which draw upon, analyze, illustrate or amplify, the topics presented in the lectures, lecture classes can vary in size from 20 to 200 although larger sized lectures tend to decrease as students progress into the second and third year and more options become available. Seminars and tutorials are on the whole much smaller than lecture classes and in some departments can be on a one-to-one basis (that is, one member of staff to one student).Students are normally expected to prepare work in advance for seminars and tutorials and this can take the form of researching a topic for discussion, by writing essays or by solving problems. Lectures, seminars and tutorials are all one hour in length, whilst laboratory classes usually last either 2 or 3 hours. Much emphasis is put on how to spend as much time if not more studying by themselves as being taught. In the UK it is still common for people to say that they are “reading” for a degree! Each student has a tutor whom they can consult on any matter whether academic or personal .Although the tutor will help, motivation for study is expected to come from the student.�
66. According to the passage, science and engineering courses seem to be more ___ than arts courses.�
A. motivating B. varied C. demanding D. interesting �
67. Which of the following is the length of lectures or seminars or tutorials?�
A. 1 hour. B.2 hours. C. 3 hours. D. 15 hours. �
68. In British universities teaching and learning are carried out in ___.�
A. a variety of ways B. laboratory classes�
C. seminars and tutorials D. lectures and tutorials �

Who said the only way to learn about a country you can’ t visit is by reading a book? Dan Eckberg’ s television students at Hopkins High School know better. They’re seeing countries and learning about cultures with the aid of electronic communications.�
Using computers, satellite hookups, and telephone hotlines, Eckberg’s students have already followed a team of cyclists 11,500 miles across the continent of Africa, sat atop Mount Kilimanjaro, and sweltered in the Sahara Desert.�
This winter they’ll interact with an expedition exploring Central America in search of the classic Maya culture.�
You can join them.�
How? By following Eckberg and his class as they track the adventures of Dan and Steve Buettner, two world-class bicyclists from U S A. Starting last month these two bicyclists, joined by archaeologists and a technical support team, are interacting with students via the Internet, the worldwide computer network.�
From classroom or home computer, students can make research proposals to the Buettners or the archaeologists at the various Central American locations they’ve been exploring as part of their Maya Quest expedition.�
“We hope that someone will ask a question that can’ t readily be answered,” says Hopkins High School student Barry Anderson, “and through the online activities, an answer will be found—a discovery”.�
Having students “discover” why a civilization as advanced as the Maya collapsed in the 9th century is one key goal for the leaders of the Maya Quest expedition. The more important goal is using interactive learning to discover the cause of the decline and compare it to issues we face today—natural disasters, environmental problems, and war.�
Ten lesson plans—on topics ranging from the Maya language to the Maya creation myth—have been developed for the interactive expedition.�
“Through a combination of live call-in television and the Internet, ”says Eckberg, “we’re hoping to build excitement and engagement in learning in our school.”�
69. Dan Eckberg and his students learn about Africa by ___.�
A. reading books B. watching video tapes�
C. interacting via the Internet D. cycling 11,500 miles �
70. Which of the following activities is NOT involved in Dan Eckberg and his students’ expedition?�
A. Going to visit various Central American locations.�
B. Getting information through electronic communications.�
C. Discussing different topics on the Maya civilization.�

D. Forming research, proposals and discovering the answers. �

Most earthquakes occur within the upper 15 miles of the earth’s surface. But earthquakes can and do occur at all depths to about 460 miles. Their number decreases as the depth increases. At about 460 miles one earthquake occurs only every few years. Near the surface earthquakes may run as high as 100 in a month, but the yearly average does not vary much. In comparison with the total number of earthquakes each year, the number of disastrous earthquakes is very small.�
The extent of the disaster in an earthquake depends on many factors. If you carefully build a toy house with an Erector set, it will still stand no matter how much you shake the table. But if you build a toy house with a pack of cards, a slight shake of the table will make it fall. An earthquake in Agadir, Morocco, was not strong enough to be recorded on distant instruments, but it completely destroyed the city. Many stronger earthquakes have done comparatively little damage. If a building is well constructed and built on solid ground, it will resist an earthquake. Most deaths in earthquakes have been due to faulty building construction or poor building sites. A third and very serious factor is panic. When people rush out into narrow streets, more deaths will result.�
The United Nations has played an important part in reducing the damage done by earthquakes. It has sent a team of experts to all countries known to be affected by earthquakes. Working with local geologists and engineers, the experts have studied the nature of the ground and the type of most practical building code for the local area. If followed, these suggestions will make disastrous earthquakes almost a thing of the past.�
There is one type of earthquake disaster that little can be done about. This is the disaster caused by seismic sea waves, or tsunamis. (These are often called tidal waves, but the name is incorrect. They have nothing to do with tides. ) In certain areas, earthquakes take place beneath the sea. These submarine earthquakes sometimes give rise to seismic sea waves. The waves are not noticeable out at sea because of their long wave length. But when they roll into harbours, they pile up into walls of water 6 to 60 feet high. The Japanese call them “tsunamis”, meaning “harhour waves” , because they reach a sizable height only in harbours.�
Tsunamis travel fairly slowly, at speeds up to 500 miles an hour. An adequate warning system is in use to warn all shores likely to be reached by the waves. But this only enables people to leave the threatened shores for higher ground. There is no way to stop the oncoming wave.�
71. Which of the following CANNOT be concluded from the passage?�
A. The number of earthquakes is closely related to depth.�
B. Roughly the same number of earthquakes occur each year.�
C. Earthquakes are impossible at depths over 460 miles.�
D. Earthquakes are most likely to occur near the surfaces. �
72. The destruction of Agadir is an example of ___.�
A. faulty building construction B. an earthquake’s strength�
C. widespread panic in earthquakes D. ineffective instruments �
73. The United Nations’ experts are supposed to ___.�
A. construct strong buildings B. put forward proposals�
C. detect disastrous earthquakes D. monitor earthquakes �
74. The significance of the slow speed of tsunamis is that people may ___.�
A. notice them out at sea B. find ways to stop them�
C. be warned early enough D. develop warning systems �

One of the good things for men in women’s liberation is that men no longer have to pay women the old-fashioned courtesies.�
In an article on the new manners, Ms. Holmes says that a perfectly able woman no longer has to act helplessly in public as if she were a model. For example, she doesn’t need help getting in and out of cars, “Women get in and out of cars twenty times a day with babies and dogs. Surely they can get out by themselves at night just as easily.”�
She also says there is no reason why a man should walk on the outside of a woman on the sidewalk. “Historically, the man walked on the inside so he caught the garbage thrown out of a window. Today a man is supposed to walk on the outside. A man should walk where he wants to. So should a woman. If, out of love and respect, he actually wants to take the blows, he should walk on the inside—because that’s where attackers are all hiding these days.”�
As far as manners are concerned, I suppose I have always been a supporter of women’ s liberation. Over the years, out of a sense of respect, I imagine, I have refused to trouble women with outdated courtesies.�
It is usually easier to follow rules of social behaviour than to depend on one’s own taste. But rules may be safely broken, of course, by those of us with the gift of natural grace. For example, when a man and woman are led to their table in a restaurant and the waiter pulls out a chair, the woman is expected to sit in the chair. That is according to Ms. Ann Clark. I have always done it the other way, according to my wife.�
It came up only the other night. I followed the hostess to the table, and when she pulled the chair out I sat on it, quite naturally, since it happened to be the chair I wanted to sit in.�
“Well,” my wife said, when the hostess had gone, “you did it again.”�
“Did what?” I asked, utterly confused.�
“Took the chair.”�
Actually., since I’ d walked through the restaurant ahead of my wife , it would have been awkward, I should think, not to have taken the chair. I had got there first, after all.�
Also, it has always been my custom to get in a car first, and let the woman get in by herself. This is a courtesy I insist on as the stronger sex, out of love and respect. In times like these, there might be attackers hidden about. It would be unsuitable to put a woman in a car and then shut the door on her, leaving her at the mercy of some bad fellow who might be hiding in the back seat.�
75. It can be concluded from the passage that ___.�
A. men should walk on the inside of a sidewalk
B. women are becoming more capable than before�
C. in women’s liberation men are also liberated
D. it’ s safe to break rules of social behaviour �
76. The author was “utterly confused” because he ___.�
A. took the chair out of habit B. was trying to be polite�
C. was slow in understanding D. had forgotten what he did �
77. He “took the chair” for all the following reasons EXCEPT that ___.�
A. he got to the chair first B. he happened to like the seat�
C. his wife ordered him to do so D. he’ d walked ahead of his wife �
78. The author always gets in a car before a woman because he ___.�
A. wants to protect her B. doesn’t need to help her�
C. chooses to be impolite to her D. fears attacks on him �
79. The author is ___ about the whole question of manners and women’s liberation.�
A. joking B. satirical C. serious D. critical �
80. Which of the following best states the main idea of the passage?�
A. Manners ought to be thrown away altogether.
B. In manners one should follow his own judgment.�
C. Women no longer need to be helped in public.
D. Men are not expected to be courteous to women. �
