For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark

22、 your answer on the Answer Sheet.Questions 41 to 44 are based on the following passage:One of the most interesting paradoxes in America today is that Harvard University, the oldest institution of higher learning in the United States, is now engaged in a serious debate about what a university should

23、be, and whether it is measuring up.Like the Roman Catholic Church and other ancient institutions, it is askingstill in private rather than in publicwhether its past assumptions about faculty, authority, admissions, courses of study, are really relevant to the problems of the 1990s.Should Harvardor a

24、ny other universitybe an intellectual sanctuary, apart from the political and social revolution of the age, or should it be a laboratory for experimentation with these political and social revolutions; or even an engine of the revolution? This is what is being discussed privately in the big clapboar

25、d houses of faculty members around the Harvard Yard.The issue was defined by Waiter Lippmann, a distinguished Harvard graduate, several years ago.“If the universities are to do their work, he said, they must be independent and they must be disinterested.They are places to which men can turn for judg

26、ments which are unbiased by partisanship and special interest. Obviously, the moment the universities fall under political control, or under the control of private interests, or the moment they themselves take a hand in politics and the leadership of government, their value as independent and disint

27、erested sources of judgment is impaired.”This is part of the argument that is going on at Harvard today. Another part is the argument of the militant and even many moderate students: that a university is the keeper of our ideals and morals, and should not be “disinterested” but activist in bringing

28、the nations ideals and actions together.Harvards men of today seem more troubled and less sure about personal, political and academic purpose than they did at the beginning. They are not even clear about how they should debate and resolve their problems, but they are struggling with them privately,

29、and how they come out is bound to influence American universities and political life in the 1990s.41. The issues in the debate on Harvards goals are whether the universities should remain independent of our society and its problems, and whether they should .A. overcome the widespread drug dependency

30、B. take an active part in solving societys illsC. fight militarismD. support our old and established institutions42. The word “paradox” in paragraph 1 is .A. an abnormal conditionB. a parenthetical expressionC. a difficult puzzleD. a self-contradiction43. The word “sanctuary” in paragraph 3 is .A. a

31、 temple or nunnery of middle ageB. a certain place you can hide in and avoid mishapsC. a holy place dedicated to a certain godD. an academy for intelligent people44. In the authors judgment, the ferment going on at Harvard .A. will soon be over, because times are bound to change B. is of interest mo

32、stly to Harvard men and their friends C. will influence future life in AmericaD. is a sad symbol of our general bewildermentQuestions 45 to 48 are based on the following passage:Scientists now believe that many, if not all, living things are born with some type of hidden clock. These clocks are some

33、times set by the number of hours of light or darkness in a day, by the rhythm of the tides or by the seasons.One of the most remarkable of natures living clocks belongs to the fiddler crab, that familiar beach-dweller with tile overgrown claw. Biologists have long known that the crabs shell is darke

34、st during the day, grows pale in late afternoon, then begins to darken again at daybreak. This daytime darkening is valuable for protection against enemies and sunlight, and for many years it was thought to be a simple response by the crab to the sun-just as if we were to get a tan during the day an

35、d lose it at night. But when an enterprising scientist placed a fiddler crab in darkness, be was amazed to find that the color of the crabs shell kept ticking off the time with the same accuracy.Yet another startling fact was revealed: the crabs shell reached the darkest color about 50 minutes later

36、 each day. There was a second clock inside the crab, for the tides also occur 50 minutes later from day to day. Moreover, even when the crabs were taken from the beach and put back in the dark, they continued their tidal rhythm. More research disclosed that a crab from Cape Cod, Massachusetts, reach

37、ed its darkest color four hours earlier than the one taken from a beach on a neighboring island. The tides on the nearby island were found to be exactly four hours later than the Cape Cod tides.Ants dont carry calendars around with them any more than fiddler crabs possess real wrist watches. But ant

38、s show amazing accuracy as to the day of the year. Each year, an ant nest sends out winged, young queens on mating flights. Hundreds of them may fly out of a single nest in the soil. Last summer, at the crest of my mountain, I watched an ant city prepare to send forth its young queens. At the precis

39、e moment that they took wing, a colony of the same species that my wife was watching near the bottom of the mountain, also sent its queen on a wedding flight. There was, of course, no way could the two colonies have checked take off time with each other.Entomologist Albro T. Gaul once jotted down in

40、 his notebook that a particular the same time! This split-second timing is not always the rule. However, most flights take place within a definite period of time.Birds also have built-in timepieces which send them off on fall and spring migrations. What the birds really have is a clock like mechanis

41、m which allows them to time hours of darkness or light in each day.But what sends birds northward again in the spring? New research by Dr. Albert Wdifson of Northwestern University seems to indicate that the timing of return flight is extraordinarily complex. In the fall of the year the short days a

42、nd long nights cause the clocks in migratory birds to undergo a kind of winding in preparation for their spring return and breeding. Then during the late fall and winter as the clock ticks, certain physiological changes occur in the bird. The length of each day during the winter determines how fast

43、the clock will run, and hence when the alarm will ring for the spring migration. The clock continues to run through breeding time, then stopsto be re-wound again the next fall.45. The alarm clock that determines the activity of certain living things is governed by _.A. hours of daylight B. the time

44、of day in their native environmentsC. the moon D. something we dont understand completely46. The fiddler crab seems to darken his color according to _.A. time of sunrise B. its backgroundC. amount of daylight D. time of tides47. The reported activity of the ant colony occurred in relation to _.A. th

45、e position of the sun B. the day of the yearC. the temperature D. the geographical location48. What controls the migration of birds seems to be _.A. dark, cloudy days and bright, sunny daysB. direction of migrationC. time between sunrise and sunsetD. breeding habitsQuestions 49 to 52 are based on th

46、e following passage:Medicine comes in many forms. In its liquid form, medicine affects the body very quickly. But the effects of liquid medicine arent usually long lasting. That is why pills and capsules are also used.The pills and capsules being sold today arent perfect, either. Pills dissolve in t

47、he stomach. The medicine in the pills is released when the pills dissolve. But often, the pills dissolve too quickly.Scientists have been trying to develop a pill that can release medicine slowly over a long period of time. They have applied their knowledge of plants to produce the “osmotic (渗透的) pu

48、mp pill”.The cell walls of plants are made of cellulose (纤维素). Cellulose is a very porous substance. There are millions of tiny holes, or pores, in the cellulose walls of plants. These holes are big enough to allow water through the cell walls. As water enters a cell, pressure builds up in the cell.

49、 The pressure pumps other substances out of the cell. These substances leave the cell through the cellulose wall. This slow, steady process is called osmosis.The osmotic pump pill is coated with synthetic cellulose. Liquid medicine is contained in the pill. The holes in the cellulose coating of the

50、pill are big enough to allow water in the pill. As water from the body enters the pill, pressure builds up and the medicine is then slowly pumped out of the pill.49. The passage implies that the osmotic pump pill is better than other pills and capsules because_.A. it releases medicine slowly over a

51、long period of timeB. the coating doesnt dissolve in the stomachC. the medicine in the pill can affect the body quicklyD. it helps to build pressure in the body50. The way that the osmotic pump pill works is based on a process called _.A. cellulose B. osmosis C. pressure D. synthesis51. The passage

52、implies that medicine in an osmotic pump pill will leave the pill when _. A. the pill is swallowed B. the cellulose coating is dissolved C. enough pressure builds up in the pill D. the medicine is dissolved with water from the body52. The passage implies that cellulose is a very porous substance bec

53、ause it contains _.A. millions of tiny holes B. a substance that dissolves it C. a substance that creates pressure D. liquid medicineQuestions 53 to 56 are based on the following passage:Prices determine how resources are to be used. They are also the means by which products and services that are in

54、 limited supply are rationed among buyers. The price system of the United States is a very complex network composed of the prices of all the products bought and sold in the economy as well as those of a myriad of services, including labor, professional transportation, and public-utility services. Th

55、e interrelationships of all these prices make up the system of prices. The price of any particular product or service is linked to a broad, complicated system of prices in which everything seems to depend more or less upon everything else.If one were to ask a group of randomly selected individuals t

56、o define price, many would reply that price is an amount of money paid by the buyer to the seller of a product or service or, in other words, that price is the money value of a product or service as agreed upon in a market transaction. This definition is, of course, valid as far as it goes. For a co

57、mplete understanding of a price in any particular transaction, much more than the amount of money involved must be known. Both the buyer and the seller should be familiar with not only the money amount, but also with the amount and quality of the product or service to be exchanged, the time and plac

58、e at which the exchange will take place and payment will be made, the form of money to be used, the credit terms and discounts that supply to the transaction, guarantees on the product or service, delivery terms return privileges, and other factors. In other words, both buyer and seller should be fu

59、lly aware of all the factors that comprise the total package being exchanged for the asked amount of money in order that they may evaluate a given price.53. According to the passage, the price system is related primarily to _.A. labor and educationB. transportation and insuranceC. utilities and repa

60、irsD. products and services54. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a factor in complete understanding of price? A. Instructions that come with a product. B. The quantity of a product. C. The quality of a product. D. Warranties that cover a product. 55. In the last sentence of the passage, the word they refers to _. A. return privileges B. all the factors C. buyer and seller D. money56. The paragraph following the passage most likely discusses _. A. unusual ways to advertise products B. types of payment plans for ser
