If many students do not understand, people think that the teacher does not do a good job. The teacher has big responsibility to make sure students understand. In a sense, students are consumers and the teacher is offering services.Students have the right to evaluate their teachers, and they usually do so at the end of each course. That evaluation includes lots of aspects of teaching, such as explanation, preparation, using good examples, answering questions, and organization of classes.Students are supposed to read required textbooks and recommended books before class. Without reading them, they will find it very difficult to understand the class. Basic courses on doing research and writing papers are taught at the beginning of the program. They teach things very concretely and clearly. Students are expected to apply what they have learned to their studies.Classes are usually divided into lectures and seminars. There are some lecture classes, where the teacher just gives a lecture, and students ask questions at the end. Most graduate level classes are lectures and discussions. Participating in discussions is very important. Higher level classes involve very little lecturing. They emphasize discussion and presentation by the students.11. According to the passage, good teachers should_______A. try to please their studentsB. treat their students as consumersC. understand their students wellD. make sure their students understand12. Teachers are evaluated by students mainly on________A. how well they perform in classB. how carefully they prepare their lessonsC. how fluently they express themselves in classD. how hard they work in and after class13. What are students expected to do before attending a class?A. Go over the lessons thoroughly.B. Understand the textbooks well.C. Do the reading assignments.D. Prepare an outline for discussion.14. When a program starts, students should first_______A. learn how to do research and write papersB. have some learning experienceC. learn about the course concretely and clearlyD. know how to participate in discussions15. Higher level classes are taught mainly through_______A. giving a lot of lectures to studentsB. involving students in discussionsC. asking students questions in classD. answering students' questions in classPassage TwoIn any society that needs child labor, children work. In societies that do not need it, the labor of children is strictly regulated or outlawed. In the modern industrialized nations of Western Europe, North America, Australia, and Japan, child labor is not an economic necessity because there is an adequate supply of adult labor. In the underdeveloped and developing nations, where so much of the work is still agricultural and preindustrial, children work because the labor of all hands is needed.For the first several thousand years of human industry, when nearly all work was in either agriculture or handicrafts, the great mass of people lived in poverty. The more children in a family, the more hands there were to get the work done. Only the children of the wealthy and powerful avoided physical labor.Early in the 19th century the Industrial Revolution began. For most of the century children worked in the mines, factories, and shops. They worked long hours under very unhealthy conditions. The leaders of industry wanted children to work because they worked for lower wages than adults did, and there were not always enough adults available to fill all the jobs. But gradually, growing numbers of people came to realize the tragedy of these children's lives, and child labor came to be viewed as unfavorable as slavery.There was also no longer any real need for children to work at regular jobs. As society became increasingly industrialized in Europe and North America, there came to be more than an adequate supply of adult labor to fill the factories and mines at wages employers could afford to pay. This was particularly true in the larger cities of the United States, where thousands of immigrants were arriving annually.16. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. In the 19th century, adults worked long hours under very unhealthy conditions.B. Any society needs child labor.C. In the newly-industrialized nations, the supply of adult labor is quite adequate.D. Child labor is no longer an economic necessity in Australia.17. In developing nations, children have to work mainly because_____A. most of the work remains agriculturalB. the labor of children is not strictly outlawedC. the wealthy and powerful don't want to workD. children work for low wages18. In early human history, people generally lived in poverty because _______A. all work was related to farmingB. parents had to support too many childrenC. children didn't earn a living themselvesD. people nearly did everything with their hands19. According to the passage, children worked in the mines, factories and shops_____A. in the early 20th centuryB. before the Industrial RevolutionC. in the 19th centuryD. in the preindustrial period20. We can learn from the last paragraph that_______A. employers in the larger cities of the USA could afford to hire enough adults to work for themB. thousands of people from other countries moved to larger cities in North America every yearC. factories and mines in America were full of immigrants from EuropeD. cities in the USA were receiving many foreign visitorsPassage ThreeMarriage is still a popular institution in the United States, but divorce is becoming almost as "popular". Most American people get married, but at the present time, fifty percent of American marriages end up in divorce. However, four out of five divorced people do not stay single. They get married a second time to new partners. Sociologists tell us that in the next century, most American people will marry three or four times in one lifetime.Alvin Toffler, an Ameri can sociologist, calls this new social form “serial marriages”. In his book Future Shock, Toffler gives many reasons for this change in American marriage. In modern society, people's lives don't stay the same for very long. Americans frequently change their jobs, their homes, and their circle of friends. So the person who was a good husband or wife ten years ago is sometimes not as good ten years later. After some years of marriage, a husband or wife can feel that their lives have become very different, and they don't share the same interests any more.For this reason Toffler says, people in the twenty-first century will not plan to marry only one person for an entire lifetime. They will plan to stay married to one person for perhaps five or ten years, and then marry another. Most Americans will expect to have a "marriage career" that includes three or four marriages.21. The word "institution" (line 1. most probably means_______A. a social practiceB. a social organizationC. a state lawD. an established habit22. In the United States_______A. marriage is less popular than divorce nowB. remaining single is becoming more and more popular nowC. divorce is as popular as it wasD. remarriage is getting more popular now23. The percentage of remarriage among divorced Americans is_______A. fifty percentB. eighty percentC. forty percentD. ninety percent24. One of the reasons for the change in American marriages is_______A. difference in interestsB. difference in making friendsC. difference in choosing jobsD. difference in family background25. In the twenty-first century, American's attitude towards remarried people will beA. suspiciousB. criticalC. fussyD. approvingPassage 5If your experience is that of most students, you will probably find that drawing the plan andthinking about your early home brought back events you have not thought of in years. Students in may classes remember exactly what it felt like to fall out of bed and break an arm, what the blue tile in the bathroom looked like smeared with lipstick, and the way the kitchen smelled after the furnace explored. They find that their memories contain many more details than they had expected.Most of the memories stimulated by this exercise take two forms: recounting events and supplying details. This combination of events and details comprises narrative, because making experience conscious requires the ability both to tell what happened, and happens, and fill in details that make the events come alive. This excursion into memory also illustrates the close connection between narration and learning because memory provides one way for us to know or bring to consciousness something about experience in this world.Not every writing task you face will carry the same emotional freight as does the one based on your house plan, but the care in recounting and attending to detail evoked here provides a model for writing narrative. By learning to draw on the resources of your memory, you can increase the detail in your writing. One way to reach these resources is to make connections with concrete objects. Visualizing your childhood home probably helped you think of details that would have otherwise remained buried in your mind. Perhaps you have had the experience of being able to recall information during an exam by remembering where it was written on the page of your notes or by focusing on the place where you learned it.Another way to draw on the resources of your memory is to recreate a memory chain that begins with some physical object and lead you to recall various experiences.26.The passage is mainly aboutA.the role of exercise in acquiring a good memory.B.the use of memory in learning writing.C.the role of memory in college learning.D.the use of past experience in learning.27. The word “recount” in the first sentence of Paragraph 2 probably meansE.rememberF.relieveG.think aboutH.tell28.Through recounting and applying details, a persona)gets his memory exercised.b)edits his experience in an orderly manner.c)learns to speak before the public.d)gets to know what has happened.29.Narrating is bound to promote learning becausea)it makes the otherwise obscure experience prominent in one’s mind.b)it helps one to lay down one’s emotional burden.c)it enhances memory by repeating things before one forgets them.d)it helps add more details to what is already in memory.30.When trying to recall your memory, the author recommends , you start froma)the very beginning of the experience.b)the very end of the experience.c)something physical and concrete.d)your own imagination.第三部分：词汇和结构31．--- Oh, dear.
