Many teachers believe that the responsibilities for learning lie with the student.31 a long reading assignment is given, instructors expect students to be familiar32 information in the reading even if they do not discuss it in class or take an examination. The ideal student is considered to be 33 who is motivated to learn for the sake of learning, not the one interested only in getting high grades. Sometimes homework is returned with brief 34 (write) comments but without a grade. Even if a grade is not given, the student is responsible for learning the material assigned. When research 35 (assign), the professor expects the student to take it actively and to complete it with minimum 36 (guide). It is the student's responsibility to find books, magazines, and articles in the library. Professors do not have the time to explain 37 a university library works; they expectstudents, particularly graduate students, to be able to exhaust the reference origins in the library. Professors will help students who need it, but prefer that their students should not be too dependent on them. In the United States, professors have many other duties 38 teaching, such as administrative or research work. Therefore, the time 39 a professor can spend with a student outside of class is limited. If 40 student has problems with classroom work, the student should either approach a professor during either office hours or make an appointment.III．阅读(共两节，满分40分)第一节阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题号上将该项涂黑。

ALiving an Adventurous LifeNearly ten years ago, I was told that I had a brain tumor (瘤), and this experience changed my attitude about adventure forever. I thought that I was going to die and that all my adventures were over. I did not have a brain tumor, it turned out, but rather multiple sclerosis (多发性硬化症), which meant that, although they were not over, the nature of my adventures could have to change.Each morning that I wake up is a fresh event, something that I might not have had. Each gesture that I make carries the weight of uncertainty and demands significant attention: buttoning my shirt, changing a light bulb, walking down stairs. I might not be able to do it this time. If I could not delight in them, they would likely drown me in anger and in self-pity.I admire the grand adventures of others. I read about them with interest. With Peter Matthiessen I have hiked across the Himalayas to the Crystal Mountain. I have walked with Annie Dillard up, down, into, and across Tinker Creek in all Seasons. David Bain has gone with me along 110 miles of Philippine coast, and Ed Abbey has rowed me down the Colorado River, I enjoy the adventures of these courageous figures, who can strike out on difficult trips - 2 miles, 250 miles, 3000 miles - ready to bear cold and tiredness - indeed not just to bear but to celebrate.But as for me, I can no longer walk very far from the armchair in which I read. Some days I don't even make it to the backyard. And yet I'm unwilling to give up the adventurous life, the difficulty of it, even the pain, the anxiety and fear, and the sudden brief lift of spirit that makes a hard journey more attractive.I refine adventure, make it smaller and smaller. And now, whether I am moving on my hands and knees across the dining room to help my cat, lying wide-eyed in the dark battling another period of sadness, gathering flowers from the garden, meeting a friend for lunch, I am always having the adventures that are mine to have.41.

A person's ability can be improved through reading.BYou're in a bit of a dilemma standing in front of the produce section of your local supermarket. In one hand, you're holding a conventionally grown Granny Smith apple. In your other hand, you have one that's been organically grown. Both apples are firm, shiny and green. Both provide vitamins and fiber, and both are free of fat, sodium and cholesterol.The conventionally grown apple costs less and is a proven family favorite. But the organic apple has a label that says "USDA Organic". Does that mean it's better? Safer? More nutritious? Several differences between organic and non-organic foods exist. Become a better informed consumer for your next trip to the supermarket.The word "organic" refers to the way farmers grow and process agricultural products, such as fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy products and meat. Organic farming practices are designed to encourage soil and water conservation and reduce pollution. Farmers who grow organic produce and meat don't use conventional methods to fertilize, control weeds or prevent livestock disease.Here are other differences between conventional farming and organic farming:* Organic or not? Check the label.The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has established an organic certification program that requires all organic foods to meet strict governmentstandards. These standards regulate how such foods are grown, handled and processed.Any farmer or food manufacturer who labels and sells a product as organic must be USDA certified as meeting these standards. Only producers who sell less than $5,000 a year in organic foods are exempt (免除) from this certification.If a food bears a USDA Organic label, it means it's produced and processed according to the USDA standards. The seal is voluntary, but many organic producers use it.46. The main purpose of the passage is_________.A. to promote the sales of organic foodB. to inform people organic food is better for their healthC. to persuade people to become informed consumersD. to compare conventional and organic foods47. According to the passage, organic farming is intended to_________.A. improve the quality of the soil and waterB. take the place of the traditional agriculture entirelyC. adopt eco-friendly methods to grow plants and feed animalsD. prevent livestock from getting disease more effectively48.

Which of the following methods belongs to organic farming?A. Using chemicals to kill insects and prevent disease.B. Using rotted plants as fertilizer to promote plant growth.C.

From the passage we know the organic certification program________.A. is not meant for all producers of produceB. makes it compulsory to attach a USDA Organic labelC. sets restrictions on the sales of organic produceD. requires all foods to satisfy the strict government standardsCI entered high school having read hundreds of books. But I was not a good reader. Merely bookish, I lacked a point of view when I read. Rather, I read in order to get a point of view. I searched books for good expressions and sayings, pieces of information, ideas, themes-anything to enrich my thought and make me feel educated. When one of my teachers suggested to his sleepy tenth-grade English class that a person could not have a "complicated idea" until he had read at least two thousand books, I heard the words without recognizing either its irony (嘲讽) or its very complicated truth. I merely determined to make a list of all the books I had ever read. Strict with myself, I included only once a title I might have read several times.(How, after all, could one read a book more than once?) And I included onlythose books over a hundred pages in length. (Could anything shorter be a book?) There was yet another high school list I made. One day I came across a newspaper article about an English professor at a nearby state college. The article had a list of the "hundred most important books of Western Civilization." "More than anything else in my life," the professor told the reporter with finality, "these books have made me all that I am." That was the kind of words I couldn't ignore. I kept the list for the several months it took me to read all of the titles. Most books, of course, I hardly understood. While reading Plato's The Republic, for example, I needed to keep looking at the introduction of the book to remind myself what the text was about. However, with the special patience and superstition (迷信) of a schoolboy, I looked at every word of the text. And by the time I reached the last word, pleased, I persuaded myself that I had read The Republic, and seriously crossed Plato off my list.51.On heating the teacher's suggestion of reading, the writer thought______.A. one must read as many books as possible.B. a student should not have a complicated idea.C. it was impossible for one to read two thousand books.D. students ought to make a list of the books they had read52. While at high school, the writer_________.A. had plans for readingB. learned to educate himselfC. only read books over 100 pagesD. read only one book several times53. The underlined phrase "with finality" in the second paragraph probably means_________.A. firmlyB. clearlyC. proudlyD. pleasantly54. The writer's purpose in mentioning "The Republic" is to________.A. explain why it was included in the list.B. describe why he seriously crossed it off the list.C. show that he read the books blindly though they were hard to understandD. prove that he understood most of it because he had looked at every word55. The writer provides two book lists to________.A. show how he developed his point of view.B. tell his reading experience at high school.C. introduce the two persons' reading methods.D. explain that he read many books at high school.读写任务阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
