(40 points)Section 1: Multiple Choice Directions: In this section there are two passages followed by mu

19、ltiple-choice questions. Read the passages and then mark your answers on the answer sheet. Passage One The case for college has been accepted without question for more than a generation. All high school graduates ought to go, says conventional wisdom and statistical evidence, because college will he

20、lp them earn more money, become “better” people, and learn to be more responsible citizens than those who dont go.But college has never been able to work its magic for everyone. And now that close to half our high school graduates are attending, those who dont fit the pattern are becoming more numer

21、ous, and more obvious. College graduates are selling shoes and driving taxis; college students interfere with each others experiments and write false letters of recommendation in the intense competition for admission to graduate school. Others find no stimulation in their studies, and drop outoften

22、encouraged by college administrators.Some observers say the fault is with the young people themselvesthey are spoiled and they are expecting too much. But that is a condemnation of the students as a whole, and doesnt explain all campus unhappiness. Others blame the state of the world, and they are p

23、artly right. We have been told that young people have to go to college because our economy cant absorb an army of untrained eighteen-year-olds. But disappointed graduates are learning that it can no longer absorb an army of trained twenty-two-year-olds, either.Some adventuresome educators and watche

24、rs have openly begun to suggest that college may not be the best, the proper, the only place for every young person after the completion of high school. We may have been looking at all those surveys and statistics upside down, it seems, and through the rosy glow of our own remembered college experie

25、nces. Perhaps college doesnt make people intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, or quick to learn thingsmaybe it is just the other way around, and intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, quick-learning people are merely the ones who have been attracted to college in the first place. And perhaps all

26、 those successful college graduates would have been successful whether they had gone to college or not. This is heresy to those of us who have been brought up to believe that if a little schooling is good, more has to be much better. But contrary evidence is beginning to mount up.1. According to the

27、 author, _.A. people used to question the value of college educationB. people used to have full confidence in higher educationC. all high school graduates went to collegeD. very few high school graduates chose to go to college2. In the 2nd paragraph, “those who dont fit the pattern” refer to_.A. hig

28、h school graduates who arent suitable for college educationB. college graduates who are selling shoes and driving taxisC. college students who arent any better for their higher educationD. high school graduates who failed to be admitted to college3. The dropout rate of college students seems to go u

29、p because_.A. young people are disappointed with the conventional way of teaching at collegeB. many people are required to join the armyC. young people have little motivation in pursuing a higher educationD. young people dont like the intense competition for admission to graduate school4. According

30、to the passage, the problems of college education partly originate in the fact that_.A. society cannot provide enough jobs for properly trained graduatesB. high school graduates do not fit the pattern of college educationC. too many students have to earn their own livingD. college administrators enc

31、ourage students to drop out5. In this passage the author argues that_.A. more and more evidence shows college education may not be the best thing for high school graduatesB. College education is not enough if one wants to be successfulC. College education benefits only the intelligent, ambitious, an

32、d quick-learning peopleD. Intelligent people may learn quicker if they dont go to collegePassage Two What we know of prenatal development makes all this attempt made by a mother to mold the character of her unborn child by studying poetry, art, or mathematics during pregnancy seem utterly impossible

33、. How could such extremely complex influences pass from the mother to the child? There is no connection between their nervous systems. Even the blood vessels of mother and child do not join directly. An emotional shock to the mother will affect her child, because it changes the activity of her gland

34、s and so the chemistry her blood. Any chemical change in the mothers blood will affect the child for better or worse. But we can not see how a looking for mathematics or poetic genius can be dissolved in blood and produce a similar liking or genius in the child.In our discussion of instincts we saw

35、that there was reason to believe that whatever we inherit must be of some very simple sort rather than any complicated or very definite kind of behavior. It is certain that no one inherits a knowledge of mathematics. It may be, however, that children inherit more or less of a rather general ability

36、that we may call intelligence. If very intelligent children become deeply interested in mathematics, they will probably make a success of that study.As for musical ability, it may be that what is inherited is an especially sensitive ear, a peculiar structure of the hands or the vocal organs connecti

37、ons between nerves and muscles that make it comparatively easy to learn the movements a musician must execute, and particularly vigorous emotions. If these factors are all organized around music, the child may become a musician. The same factors, in other circumstance might be organized about some o

38、ther center of interest. The rich emotional equipment might find expression in poetry. The capable fingers might develop skill in surgery. It is not the knowledge of music that is inherited, then nor even the love of it, but a certain bodily structure that makes it comparatively easy to acquire musi

39、cal knowledge and skill. Whether that ability shall be directed toward music or some other undertaking may be decided entirely by forces in the environment in which a child grows up.6. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Some mothers try to influence their unborn children by studying ar

40、t and other subjects during their pregnancy.B. It is utterly impossible for us to learn anything about prenatal development.C. The blood vessels of mother and child do not join directly.D. There are no connection between mothers nervous systems and her unborn childs.7. A mother will affect her unbor

41、n baby on the condition that _.A. she is emotionally shockedB. she has a good knowledge of inheritanceC. she takes part in all kind of activitiesD. she sticks to studying8. According to the passage, a child may inherit_.A. everything from his motherB. a knowledge of mathematicsC. a rather general ab

42、ility that we call intelligenceD. her mothers musical ability9. If a child inherits something from his mother, such as an especially sensitive ear, a peculiar structure of the hands or of the vocal organs, he will _.A. surely become musicianB. mostly become a poetC. possibly become a teacherD. becom

43、e a musician on the condition that all these factors are organized around music10. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Role of Inheritance.B. An Unborn Child.C.
