　　Part IV Reading Comprehension

　　A. Questions 1-5 are based on the following passage.

　　Many teachers believe that the responsibility for learning lies with the students. If a long reading assignment is given, instructors expect students to be familiar with the information in the reading even if they do not discuss it in class or give an examination. (Courses are not designed merely for students to pass exams.) The ideal student is considered to be one who is motivated to learn for the sake of learning, not the one interested only in getting high grades. Grade-conscious students may be frustrated with teachers who do not believe it is necessary to grade every assignment. Sometimes homework is returned with brief written comments but without a grade. Even if a grade is not given, the student is responsible for learning the material assigned.

　　When research is assigned, the professor expects the student to take the initiative (主动性) and to complete the assignment with minimal guidance. It is the student's responsibility to find books, periodicals, and articles in the library. Professors do not have the time to explain how a university library works; they expect students, particularly graduate students, to be able to exhaust the reference sources in the library.

　　Professor will help students who need it, but prefer that their students not be overly dependent on them. (This differs from teacher-student relationships in other countries.) In the United States, professors have other duties besides teaching. 0ften they are responsible for administrative work within their departments. In addition, they may be obliged to publish articles and books. Therefore the time that a professor can spend with a student outside of class is limited. If a student has problems with classroom work, the student should either approach a professor during office hours or make an appointment.

　　A) is interested in getting high grades

　　is not the only purpose of a course

　　D) teachers don't pay much attention

　　to exams

　　3. Professors who do not want their students to be too dependent on them for guidance usually expect________.

　　A) students to know the answers

　　B) students never to seek professors'

　　advice

　　C) students to take the initiative and be

　　independent

　　D) students to give them more time to

　　relax

　　4. When research is assigned, the professor usually expects the student to complete the assignment ________.

　　B. Short Answer Questions.

　　After an absence of thirty years, I decided to visit my old school again. I had expected to find changes, but not a completely different building. As I walked up the school drive, I wondered for a moment if I had come to the right address. The grimy, redbrick fortress with its tall windows that had looked down grimly on the playground and playing fields had been swept away. In its place stood a bright, modern block raised from the ground on great concrete bases. A huge expanse of glass extended across the face of the building; and in front, there was a well-kept lawn where previously there had been an untidy gravel yard.

　　I was pleased to find that it was break-time and that the children were all in the playground. This would enable me to meet some members of staff. On entering the building, I was surprised to hear loud laughter coming from what appeared to be the masters' common room. I could not help remembering the teachers in my time, all dressed in black gowns and high collars. And above all, I recalled Mr Garston (whom we had nick-named "Mr Ghastly"), the headmaster, who had imposed iron discipline on staff and pupils alike. I knocked at the common room door and was welcomed by a smiling young man who introduced himself to me as the headmaster. He was dressed casually in a sports jacket, and his cheerful manner quickly drove away the image of 'Mr Ghastly'. After I had explained who I was, the headmaster presented me to the teachers (all of whom were only a little younger than himself), and said he would take me round the school.

　　Here the biggest surprise of all was in store for me. Gone were the heavy desks of old with their deeply-carved initials (首字母); gone, too, were the gloomy classrooms with their ink-stained, dark-brown walls, and their raised platforms for the teachers. The rooms now were gaily painted in contrasting colours, and the children, far from sitting rigidly in their places, seemed almost free to do as they liked. I looked at them with envy as I remembered how, as a child, I had gazed at the blackboard, barely daring to whisper to my neighbour.

　　Questions:

　　1. Why couldn't the writer believe what he saw?

　　______ ______ ______ ______ ______

　　______ ______ ______ ______ ______

　　2. What had been there in front of the main building-a red-brick fortress?

　　______ ______ ______ ______ ______

　　______ ______ ______ ______ ______

　　3. Why was it impossible to hear loud laughter in the building when the writer was a school pupil?

　　______ ______ ______ ______ ______

　　______ ______ ______ ______ ______

　　4. What was the biggest surprise for the writer?

　　______ ______ ______ ______ ______

　　______ ______ ______ ______ ______

　　5. Why did he look at the children with envy?

　　______ ______ ______ ______ ______

　　______ ______ ______ ______ ______

　　Part V

　　On Green Food

　　Green food, or food that is not contaminated by chemical fertilizers, pesticides and other chemical substances, is gaining wide acceptance. As a matter of fact, in big cities, there is always a big rush for green food during festivals.

　　One reason for the popularity of green food is that today people are more and more health-conscious. They are very concerned with diseases related to contaminated food. So they would rather buy green food, though it is much more expensive. In addition, green food is usually produced by the use of the latest agricultural technology, so it is more tasty and nourishing than ordinary food. Last but not the least, now Chinese people are much better off than before, and they can afford this kind of food for health and for diversity as well.

　　Personally, I think green food is symbolic. On the one hand, it shows the quality of life has been greatly improved. On the other hand, it mirrors a worrying problem-food contamination. People are so interested in so-called green food just because farmers have used too much harmful chemical fertilizer to improve the yield of crops. So, it's time for us to change the way of farming for the sake of people's health.
