The reason for its inquiry is that the BBC’s royal charters runs out in1996and it must decide whether to keep the organization as it is or to make changes.Defenders of the Corporation—of whom there are many—are fond of quoting the American slogan“If it ain’t broke,don’t fix it.”The BBC“ain’t broke”,they say,by which they mean it is not broken(as distinct from the word“broke”,meaning having no money),or why bother to change it?Yet the BBC will have to change,because the broadcasting world around it is changing.The commercial TV channels—ITV and Channel4—were required by the Thatcher Government’s Broadcasting Act to become more commercial,competing with each other for advertisers,and cutting costs and jobs.But it is the arrival of new satellite channels—funded partly by advertising and partly by viewers’subscriptions—which will bring about the biggest change in the long term.1.The world famous BBC now is confronted with___.A.the problem of news coverageB.an uncertain prospectC.inquiries by the general publicD.shrinkage of audience2.In the passage,which of the following about the BBC is not mentioned as the key issue?A.Extension of its TV service to Far East.B.Programs as the subject of a nation-wide debate.C.Potentials for further international co-operations.D.Its existence as a broadcasting organization.3.The BBC’s“royal charter”(Paragraph4)represents___.A.the financial support from the royal familyB.the privileges granted by the QueenC.a contract with the QueenD.a unique relationship with the royal family4.The word“broke”in“If it ain’t broke,don’t fix it”means___.A.broke downB.bankruptC.fragmentedD.penniless5.The first and foremost reason why the BBC has to read just itself is no other than___.A.the emergence of commercial TV channelsB.the enforcement of Broadcasting Act by the governmentC.the urgent necessity to reduce cost—and—job expensesD.the challenges of new satellite channels2.Federal Reserve System,central banking system of the United States,popularly called the Fed.A central bank serves as the banker to both the banking community and the government;it also issues the national currency,conducts monetary policy, and plays a major role in the supervision and regulation of banks and bank holding companies.In the U.S.these function are the responsibilities of key officials of the Federal Reserve System:the Board of Governors,located in Washington,D.C.,and the top officers of12district Federal Reserve banks,located throughout the nation. The Fed’s actions,described below,generally have a significant effect on U.S.interest rates and,subsequently,on stock,bond,and other financial markets.The Federal Reserve’s basic powers are concentrated in the Board of Governors, which is paramount in all policy issues concerning bank regulation and supervision and in most aspects of monetary control.The board enunciates the Fed’s policies on both monetary and banking matter.Because the board is not an operating agency, most of the day-to day implementation of policy decisions is left to the district Federal Reserve banks,stock in which is owned by the commercial banks that are members of the Federal Reserve System.Ownership in this instance,however,does not imply control;the Board of Governors and the heads of the Reserve banks orient their policies to the public interest rather than to the benefit of the private banking system.The U.S.banking system’s regulatory apparatus is complex;the authority of the Federal Reserve is shared in some instances for example,in mergers or the examination of banks with other Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation(FDIC).Inthe critical area of regulating the nation’s money supply in accordance with national economic goals,however,the Federal Reserve is independent within the government, Income and expenditures of the Federal Reserve banks and of the board of governors are not subject to the congressional appropriation process;the Federal Reserve is self-financing.Its income($20.2billion in1992)comes mainly from Reserve bank holdings of income-earning securities,primarily those of the ernment. Outlays($1.5billion in1992)are mostly for operational expenses in providing services to the government and for expenditures connected with regulation and monetary policy.In1992the Federal Reserve returned416.8billion in earnings to the U.S.treasury.1.The Fed of the United States___.A.function as China BankB.is the counterpart of People’s Bank of ChinaC.is subjected to the banking community and governmentD.has13top officers who can influence the American financial market2.The fact that stock in the Fed belongs to commercial banks___.A.doesn’t mean the latter is in controlB.means the latter is in controlC.means the latter is subjected to the Reserve banksD.means the Reserve banks orient the latter’s policies3.Which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?A.The fed is a very big,complex and significant system which comprises many local banks.B.All the commercial banks are not the components of Federal Reserve System.C.Board of governors is the supreme policy-makers of America.D.District Reserve banks rather than Board of governors perform the day-to-day policies.4.The authority of the federal Reserve___.A.has to be shared with other establishments.B.is exclusive at other timesC.isn’t limited by comptroller of the Currency and FDICD.is limited by Board of governors5.Income of the Board of governors___.A.is borrowed from the U.S.treasuryB.is used by the government to make various policieses from the U.S.TreasuryD.is not granted by the government3.In the last12years total employment in the United States grew faster than at any time in the peacetime history of any country–from82to110million between1973 and1985–that is,by a full one third.The entire growth,however,was in manufacturing,and especially in no–blue-collar jobs…This trend is the same in all developed countries,and is,indeed,even more pronounced in Japan.It is therefore highly probable that in25years developed countries such as the United States and Japan will employ no larger a proportion of the labor force I n manufacturing than developed countries now employ in farming–at most,10percent.Today the United States employs around18million people in blue-collar jobs in manufacturing industries.By2010,the number is likely to be no more than12million.In some major industries the drop will be even sharper.It is quite unrealistic,for instance,to expect that the American automobile industry will employ more than one–third of its present blue-collar force25years hence,even though production might be50percent higher.If a company,an industry or a country does not in the next quarter century sharply increase manufacturing production and at the same time sharply reduce the blue-collar work force,it cannot hope to remain competitive–or even to remain “developed.”The attempt to preserve such blue–collar jobs is actually a prescription for unemployment…This is not a conclusion that American politicians,labor leaders or indeed the general public can easily understand or accept.What confuses the issue even more it that the United States is experiencing several separate and different shifts in the manufacturing economy.One is the acceleration of the substitution of knowledge and capital for manual labor.Where we spoke of mechanization a few decades ago,we now speak of“robotization“or“automation.”This is actually more a change in terminology than a change in reality.When Henry Ford introduced the assembly line in1909,he cut the number of man–hours required to produce a motor car by some 80percent in two or three years–far more than anyone expects to result from even the most complete robotization.But there is no doubt that we are facing a new,sharp acceleration in the replacement of manual workers by machines–that is,by the products of knowledge.1.According to the author,the shrinkage in the manufacturing labor force demonstrates______.A.the degree to which a country’s production is robotizedB.a reduction in a country’s manufacturing industriesC.a worsening relationship between labor and managementD.the difference between a developed country and a developing country2.According to the author,in coming25years,a developed country or industry,in order t remain competitive,ought to______.A.reduce the percentage of the blue-collar work forceB.preserve blue–collar jobs for international competitionC.accelerate motor–can manufacturing in Henry Ford’s styleD.solve the problem of unemployment3.American politicians and labor leaders tend to dislike_____.A.confusion in manufacturing economyB.an increase in blue–collar work forceC.internal competition in manufacturing productionD.a drop in the blue–collar job opportunities4.The word“prescription”in“a prescription for unemployment”may be the equivalent to______A.something recommended as medical treatmentB.a way suggested to overcome some difficultyC.some measures taken in advanceD.a device to dire5.This passage may have been excepted from________A.a magazine about capital investmentB.an article on automationC.a motor-car magazineD.an article on global economy4.What does the future hold for the problem of housing?A good deal depends,of course,on the meaning of“future”.If one is thinking in terms of science fiction and the space age,it is at least possible to assume that man will have solved such trivial and earthly problems as housing.Writers of science fiction,from H.G.Wells onwards, have had little to say on the subject.They have conveyed the suggestion that men willlive in great comfort,with every conceivable apparatus to make life smooth,healthy and easy,if not happy.But they have not said what his house will be made of.Perhaps some new building material,as yet unimagined,will have been discovered or invented at least.One may be certain that bricks and mortar(泥灰，灰浆)will long have gone out of fashion.But the problems of the next generation or two can more readily be imagined. Scientists have already pointed out that unless something is done either to restrict the world’s rapid growth in population or to discover and develop new sources of food(or both),millions of people will be dying of starvation or at the best suffering from underfeeding before this century is out.But nobody has yet worked out any plan for housing these growing populations.Admittedly the worst situations will occur in the hottest parts of the world,where housing can be light structure or in backward areas where standards are traditionally low.But even the minimum shelter requires materials of some kind and in the teeming,bulging towns the low-standard“housing”of flattened petrol cans and dirty canvas is far more wasteful of ground space than can be tolerated.Since the war,Hong Kong has suffered the kind of crisis which is likely to arise in many other places during the next generation.Literally millions of refugees arrived to swell the already growing population and emergency steps had to be taken rapidly to prevent squalor（肮脏）and disease and the spread crime.The city is tackling the situation energetically and enormous blocks of tenements（贫民住宅）are rising at an astonishing aped.But Hong Kong is only one small part of what will certainly become a vast problem and not merely a housing problem,because when population grows at this rate there are accompanying problems of education,transport,hospital services,drainage,water supply and so on.Not every area may give the same resources as Hong Kong to draw upon and the search for quicker and cheaper methods of construction must never cease.1.What is the author’s opinion of housing problems in the first paragraph?A.They may be completely solved at sometime in the future.B.They are unimportant and easily dealt with.C.They will not be solved until a new building material has been discovered.D.They have been dealt with in specific detail in books describing the future.2.The writer is sure that in the distant future___.A.bricks and mortar will be replaced by some other building material.B.a new building material will have been invented.C.bricks and mortar will not be used by people who want their house to be fashionable.D.a new way of using bricks and mortar will have been discovered.3.The writer believes that the biggest problem likely to confront the world before the end of the century___.A.is difficult to foresee.B.will be how to feed the ever growing population.C.will be how to provide enough houses in the hottest parts of the world.D.is the question of finding enough ground space.4.When the writer says that the worst situations will occur in the hottest parts of the world or in backward areas,he is referring to the fact that in these parts___.A.standards of building are low.B.only minimum shelter will be possible.C.there is not enough ground space.D.the population growth will be the greatest.5.Which of the following sentences best summarizes Paragraph3?A.Hong Kong has faced a serious crisis caused by millions of refugees.B.Hong Kong has successfully dealt with the emergency caused by millions of refugees.C.Hong Kong’s crisis was not only a matter of housing but included a number ofother problems of population growth.D.Many parts of the world may have to face the kind of problems encountered by Hong Kong and may find it much harder to deal with them.5.In1975a doctor in Singapore noticed that hospitals were treating an unusual number of influenza like cases.Influenza is sometimes called“flu"or a“bad cold". He took samples from the throats of patients and in his hospital was able to find the virus of this influenza.There are three main types of the influenza virus（病毒）.The most important of these are type A and B,each of them having several subgroups.With the instruments at the hospital the doctor recognized that the outbreak was due to a virus in group A, but he did not know the subgroup.Then he reported the outbreak to the World Health Organization in Geneva.W.H.O.published the important news alongside reports of a similar outbreak in Hong Kong,where about15～20%of the population had become ill.As soon as the London doctors receive the package of throat samples,doctors began the standard tests.They found that by reproducing itself with very high speed, the virus had grown more than a million times within two days.Continuing their careful tests,the doctors checked the effect of drugs against all the known subgroups of virus type A.None of them gave any protection.This,then,was something new,a new influenza virus,against which the people of the world had no help whatever. Having found the virus they were working with,the two doctors now dropped it into the noses of some specially selected animals,which get influenza much as human beings do.In a short time the usual signs of the disease appeared.These experiments proved that the new virus was easy to catch,but that it was not a killer.Scientists,like the general public,call it simply Asian flu.The first discovery of the virus,however,was made in China before the diseasehad appeared in other countries.Various reports showed that the influenza outbreak started in China,probably in February of1957.By the middle of March it had spread all over China.The virus was found by Chinese doctors early in March.But China is not a member of the World Health Organization and therefore does not report outbreaks of disease to it.Not until two months later,when travelers carried the virus into Hong Kong,from where it spread to Singapore,did the news of the outbreak reach the rest of the world.By this time it was started on its way around the world.Thereafter,W.H.O.'s Weekly Reports described the steady spread of this virus outbreak,which within four months swept through every continent.1.The doctor in Singapore performed a valuable service by2.One interesting thing about the virus in the story was that3.The type of influenza discussed in the story4.The experiments in giving the virus to animals proved that this type of influenza was easy to catch but5.One reason why the outbreak of the disease was not discovered soonerwas that三．作文（30分）Tourism is a booming business in China.However,some people worry that too many tourists may bring harm to the environment,while others don’t think so.What is your opinion?Write on ANSWER SHEET a composition of about250words on thefollowing topic:Will Tourism Bring Harm to the Environment?You are to write in three parts.In the first part,state specifically what your opinion is.In the second part,provide one or two reasons to support your opinion.In the last part,bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or make a summary.Marks will be awarded for content,organization,grammar and appropriateness.

Attrition at the Ph.D.level is also thought to be a waste of precious faculty time and a drain on university resources already being used to capacity.Some people expressed the opinion that the shortage of highly trained specialists and college teachers could be reduced by persuading the dropouts to return to graduate schools to complete the Ph.D."The results of our research"Dr.Tucker concluded,"did not support these opinions."Lack of motivation was the principal reason for dropping out.Most dropouts went as far in their doctoral program as was consistent with their levels of ability or their specialities.Most dropouts are now engaged in work consistent with their educationand motivation.Nearly75per cent of the dropouts said there was no academic reason for their decision,but those who mentioned academic reason cited failure to pass the qualifying examination,uncompleted research and failure to pass language exams.Among the single most important personal reasons identified by dropouts for non-completion of their Ph.D.program,lack of finances was marked by19per cent.As an indication of how well the dropouts were doing,a chart showed2% in humanities were receiving$20,000and more annually while none of the Ph.D.s with that background reached this figure.The Ph.D.s shone in the$7,500to$15,000bracket with78%at that level against50%for the dropouts.This may also be an indication of the fact that top salaries in the academic fields,where Ph.D.s tend to rise to the highest salaries,are still lagging behind other fields.As to the possibility of getting dropouts back on campus,the outlook was glum.The main condition which would have to prevail for at least25%of the dropouts who might consider returning to graduate school would be to guarantee that they would retain their present level of income and in some cases their present job.1.The author states that many educators feel that[A]steps should be taken to get the dropouts back to campus.[B]the dropouts should return to a lower quality school to continue theirstudy.[C]the Ph.D.holder is generally a better adjusted person than the dropout.[D]The high dropouts rate is largely attributable to the lack of stimulation on the part of faculty members.2.Research has shown that[A]Dropouts are substantially below Ph.D.`s in financial attainment.[B]the incentive factor is a minor one in regard to pursuing Ph.D.studies.[C]The Ph.D.candidate is likely to change his field of specialization if he drops out.[D]about one-third of those who start Ph.D.work do not complete the work to earn the degree.3.Meeting foreign language requirements for the Ph.D.[A]is the most frequent reason for dropping out.[B]is more difficult for the science candidate than for the humanities candidate.[C]is an essential part of many Ph.D.programs.[D]does not vary in difficulty among universities.4.After reading the article,one would refrain from concluding that[A]optimism reigns in regard to getting Ph.D.dropouts to return to their pursuit of the degree.[B]a Ph.D.dropout,by and large,does not have what it takes to learn thedegree.[C]colleges and universities employ a substantial number of Ph.D. dropouts.[D]Ph.D.s are not earning what they deserve in nonacademic positions.5.It can be inferred that the high rate of dropouts lies in[A]salary for Ph.D.too low.[B]academic requirement too high.[C]salary for dropouts too high.[D]1000positions.Text BAntinuclear DemonstrationPolice fired tear gas and arrested more than5,000passively resisting protestors Friday in an attempt to break up the largest antinuclear demonstration ever staged in the United States.More than135,000 demonstrators confronted police on the construction site of a 1,000-megawatt nuclear power plant scheduled to provide power to most of southern New anizers of the huge demonstration said, the protest was continuing despite the police actions.More demonstrators were arriving to keep up the pressure on state authorities to cancel the project.The demonstrator had charged that the project was unsafe in the denselypopulated area,would create thermal pollution in the bay,and had no acceptable means for disposing of its radioactive wastes.The demonstrations would go on until the jails and the courts were so overloaded that the state judicial system would collapse.Governor Stan forth Thumper insisted that there would be no reconsideration of the power project and no delay in its construction set for completion in three years.This project will begin on time and the people of this state will begin to receive its benefits on schedule. Those who break the law in misguided attempts to sabotage the project will be dealt with according to the law,"he said.And police called in reinforcements from all over the state to handle the disturbances.The protests began before dawn Friday when several thousand demonstrators broke through police lines around the cordoned-off construction site.They carried placards that read"No Nukes is Good Nukes,""Sun power, Not Nuclear Power,"and"Stop Private Profits from Public Peril."They defied police order to move from the area.Teargas canisters fired by police failed to dislodge the protestors who had come prepared with their own gas masks or facecloths.Finally gas-masked and helmeted police charged into the crowd to drag off the demonstrators one by one.The protestors did not resist police,but refused to walk away under their own power.Those arrested would be charged with unlawful assembly,trespassing,and disturbing the peace.6.What were the demonstrators protesting about?[A]Private profits.[B]Nuclear Power Station.[C]The project of nuclear power construction.[D]Public peril.7.Who had gas-masks?[A]Everybody.[B]A part of the protectors.[C]Policemen.[D]Both B and C.8.Which of the following was NOT mentioned as a reason for the demonstration?[A]Public transportation.[B]Public peril.[C]Pollution.[D]Disposal of wastes.9.With whom were the jails and courts overloaded?[A]With prisoners.[B]With arrested demonstrators.[C]With criminals.[D]With protectors.10.What is the attitude of Governor Stanforth Thumper toward the power project and the demonstration?[A]stubborn.[B]insistent.[C]insolvable.[D]remissible.Text CMeditation in Indonesian BusinessIt looked like a typical business meeting.Six men,neatly dressed in white shirts and ties filed into the boardroom of a small Jakarta company and sat down at a long table.But instead of consulting files or hearing reports, they closed their eyes and began to meditate,consulting the spirits of ancient Javanese kings.Mysticism touches almost every aspect of life in Indonesia and business is no exception.One of the meditators said his weekly meditation sessions are aimed mainly at bringing the peace of mind that makes for good decision-making.But the insight gained from mystic communication with spirits of wise kings has also helped boost the profits of his five companies.Mysticism and profits have come together since the13th century introduction of Islam to Indonesia by Indian Moslem merchants.Those devout traders,called Wali Ullah or those close to God,energeticallyspread both trade and religion by adapting their appeals to the native mysticism of Java.Legends attribute magic power of foreknowledge to the Wali Ullah. These powers were believed to be gained through meditation and fasting. Businessman Hadisiko said his group fasts and meditates all night every Thursday to become closer to God and to contact the spirits of the great men of the past.`If we want to employ someone at the managerial level, we meditate together and often the message comes that this man can't hole onto money or he is untrustworthy.Or maybe the spirits will tell us he should be hired.Hadiziko hastened to add that his companies also hold modern.Personnel management systems and that formal qualifications are essential for a candidate even to be considered.Perspective investments also are considered through mystic meditation.With the mind relaxed and open,it is easier to be objective in judging the risk of a new venture. Meditation and contact with the wisdom of the old leaders sharpens your own insight and intuition.Then you have to apply that intuition to the information you have and work hard to be successful.Mystic meditation helped reverse a business slide his companies experienced in the mid-1980.Operating with normal business procedures,he lost more than$3millions in that year alone.Meditation brought back his peace of mind.Putting the right persons inthe right jobs and gaining confidence in his business decisions were the keys to a turning around that has brought expansion and profitability.The mysticism in Handspike's boardroom is part of a growing movement in Indonesia called Kebatinan一the search for the inner self.One of his managers,Yusuf Soemado,who studied business administration at Harvard University,compared the idea of mystic management to western system of positive thinking.Will power and subconscious mind are recognized as important factors in business.Such approaches as psycho-cybernetics,Carnegie's think and growth rates,or the power of positive thinking are western attempts to tap the same higher intelligence that we contact through meditation,he said.11.What is the most important factor in their doing business?[A]Mysticism.[B]Religion.[C]Meditation.[D]Investment.12.Whom do they consult?[A]The spirits of ancient Javanese kings.[B]Wali Ullah.[C]Old Kings.[D]Carnegie.13.Why did Hadisike hasten to add his companies also hold modernpersonnel management systems?[A]He thought Mysticism was not so good as expected.[B]To show they too focused on qualifications.[C]To show they hired qualified persons.[D]To show the possibility of combination of the scientific management with religion.14.According to the passage,the function of the meditation is[A]to gain profit from the god.[B]to gain peace of mind to make decision.[C]to gain foreknowledge.[D]to gain objective conclusion.15.What does operating with normal business procedure refer to?[A]Adopting the western way of doing business.[B]Ordinary way of doing business without meditation and fasting.[C]Contact with God.[D]Putting right persons in the right jobs.Text DPrefaceScience is a dominant theme in our culture.Since it touches almost every facet of our life,educated people need at least some acquaintance with its structure and operation.They should also have an understanding of thesubculture in which scientists live and the kinds of people they are.An understanding of general characteristics of science as well as specific scientific concepts is easier to attain if one knows something about the things that excite and frustrate the scientist.This book is written for the intelligent student or lay person whose acquaintance with science superficial;for the person who has been presented with science as a musty storehouse of dried facts;for the person who sees the chief objective of science as the production of gadgets;and for the person who views the scientists as some sort of magician.The book can be used to supplement a course in any science,to accompany any course that attempts to give an understanding of the modern world,or independently of any course-simply to provide a better understanding of science.We hope this book will lead readers to a broader perspective on scientific attitudes and a more realistic view of what science is,who scientists are,and what they do.It will give them an awareness and understanding of the relationship between science and our culture and an appreciation of the roles science may play in our culture.In addition, readers may learn to appreciate the relationship between scientific views and some of the values and philosophies that are pervasive in our culture. We have tried to present in this book an accurate and up-to-date picture of the scientific community and the people who populate it.That population has in recent years come to comprise more and more women.This increasing role of women in the scientific subculture is not an unique incident but,rather,part of the trend evident in all segments of society as more women enter traditionally male-dominated fields and make significant contributions.In discussing these changes and contribution, however,we are faced with a language that is implicitly sexist,one that uses male nouns or pronouns in referring to unspecified individuals.To offset this built-in bias,we have adopted the policy of using plural nouns and pronouns whenever possible and,when absolutely necessary, alternating he and she.This policy is far form being ideal,but it is at least an acknowledgment of the inadequacy of our language in treating half of the human race equally.We have also tried to make the book entertaining as well as informative. Our approach is usually informal.We feel,as do many other scientists, that we shouldn't take ourselves too seriously.As the reader may observe, we see science as a delightful pastime rather than as a grim and dreary way to earn a living.16.According to the passage,scientific subculture means[A]cultural groups that are formed by scientists.[B]people whose knowledge of science is very limited.[C]the scientific community.[D]people who make good contribution to science.17.We need to know something about the structure and operation ofscience because[A]it is not easy to understand the things that excite and frustrate scientists.[B]Science affects almost every aspect of our life.[C]Scientists live in a specific subculture.[D]It is easier to understand general characteristics of science.18.The book mentioned in this passage is written for readers who[A]are intelligent college students and lay person who do not know much about science.[B]are good at producing various gadgets.[C]work in a storehouse of dried facts.[D]want to have a superficial understanding of science.19.According to this passage,[A]English is a sexist language.[B]only in the scientific world is the role of women increasing rapidly.[C]women are making significant contributions to eliminating the inadequacy of our language.[D]male nouns or pronouns should not be used to refer to scientists.20.This passage most probably is[A]a book review.[B]the preface of a book.[C]the postscript of a book.[D]the concluding part of a book.三、写作（30分）请以“Is translator replaced by machine”为题写一篇400字左右的作文。

2020考研英语翻译模拟试题及答案解析(1)Any discussion of the American educational system would be less than complete if it did not mention the emphasis that many colleges and universities place upon the nonacademic, social,“extracurricular”aspect of education, often defined as personal growth. Perhaps a useful way of viewing the notion of personal growth would be to picture the very large and general term“education” as being all-embracing, including as subsets within it academic and nonacademic components.This may be one of the most difficult concepts to convey to someone who is not intimately familiar with American higher education. Few educational systems in other countries place the same emphasis on this blend of academic and personal education. The majority of colleges and universities in the United States make some attempt to integrate personal and intellectual growth in the undergraduate years. (2) If the ultimate goal of undergraduate education in America were simply to convey a set body of knowledge, the term of studies could undoubtedly be reduced. Yet the terms of studies are extended in order to give students a chance to grow and develop in other ways.Numerous opportunities are made available to students to become involved in sports, student government, musical and dramatic organizations, and countless other organized and individual activities designed to enhance one’s personal growth and provide some recreation and enjoyment outside of the classroom. (3)Experience with campus organizations andoff-campus community involvement can be highly valuable inpreparing international students for future leadership intheir professional field upon their return home.The typical American college’s support forextracurricular activity is perhaps unique in the world, This special educational dimension, beyond the classroom and laboratory experience, does not mean that extracurricular participation is required to gain an American degree. It remains an entirely optional activity, but (4)it is notedhere because Americans have traditionally viewed success in one’s role as a citizen as closely linked to a “well-rounded”life that incorporates a variety of social, athletic, and cultural activities into a person’s experience.A great many American campuses and communities have organized special extracurricular activities for studentsfrom other countries. (5) On most campuses, one can find an international club, which includes Americans, where students can get to know and learn socially from students from other countries, as well as Americans. International students are almost always invited, through organized hospitality activities, into the homes of Americans living in or outside the academic community.答案1.如果对美国教育体系的讨论未能涉及很多学院及大学教育中非学术性的、社会的及“课程外”的方面，即其对个性成长的重视，那么这种讨论就不全面。
