14、hoices marked A, B, C and D. Read the passage carefully and choose the one that fits right into the passageMany teachers believe that the responsibilities for learning lie with the student. 41 a long reading assignment is given, instructors expect students to be familiar with the information in the
15、reading even if they do not discuss it in class or take an examination. The 42 student is considered to be one who is motivated to learn for the sake of_ 43 , not the one interested only in getting high grades. Sometimes homework is returned with brief written comments but without a grade. Even ff a
16、 grade is not given, the students is_ 44 for learning the material assigned. When research is assigned, the professor expects the student to take it actively and to complete it with 45 guidance.

21、f questions for comprehension. Read the passages carefully and answer the questions.Passage OneLong before the first Europeans arrived in America, a strange looking animal lived on the western plains. It looked somewhat like a water buffalo(北美洲野牛) It had a hump(驼峰) like a camel and a mane(鬃)like a l
22、ion. It preferred to eat the rich grass of the plains. The official name of the strange animal is the American Bison. However, nearly everyone calls it a buffalo.In the early days, millions of buffalo moved freely across the continent. They were powerful animals and ran with great speed. The Indians
23、 hunted them for food and clothing.In the 19th century, white men hunted the bison for their skins. They seldom killed the bison for meat. One famous frontiersman, however, Buffalo Bill Cody hunted buffalo for meat. The railroads used the meat to feed their workers.The American buffalo could run at
24、a speed of almost 75 kilometers an hour. He was difficult to hurt because he was always for a fight. There were times when five or six bullets would not kill him, and buffalo hunters sometimes had a lot of trouble killing the animal. The buffaloes were hard to control and the hunters would get confu
25、sed or feel helpless. Finally, in the west the expression, to buffalo, came to mean to make one helpless or to confuse and trickIt is still used today. When a person has you “buffaloed“, he has you in his power. Youre helpless!51. When did the bison begin to live on the western plains of America?A.
26、When the European immigrated to America.B. Long before the first Europeans arrived in America.C. After the Europeans immigrated to America.D. A short time before the first Europeans arrived in America.52. The bison looks like a _ .A. lion B. camel C. water buffalo D. tiger53. White men hunted the bu
27、ffalo _ .A. for their workers B. for their meat C. for theft hunters D. for their skins54. Why was American Bison difficult to hurt?A. Because he was always for a fight.B. Because he could nm fast.C. Because he was too thick to be caught.D. Because his look was odd enough to frighten away the hunter
28、s.55. “To be buffaloed” means _ A. to run as fast as a buffalo B. to be helpless or be confusedC. to be caught for amusement D. to be as special as a buffaloPassage TwoPersonal interviewing is most effective, when all the people to be interviewed are located in a relatively small geographical area.
29、Otherwise, the time and expense spent in traveling from one person to another makes this type of interviewing economically impractical. Personal interviewing is usually used when the information needed is too complex to be gathered by another technique. For example, a problem being studied may requi
30、re the interviewer to probe beyond the more superficial answers that might be obtained with another method.It is sometimes assumed that personal interviewing is the most accurate of all survey research techniques. Although personal interviewing may be accurate, in many cases, human errors may preven
31、t a researcher from obtaining valid results. Questions perceived by the interviewee as an invasion of privacy or threatening in any way will probably produce false or partially true answers. Also, since the interviewer must interpret the respondents statements, a certain amount of information loses
32、results even though the respondent may be answering truthfully.In spite of the problems, at least two major advantages are provided by this research technique. First, the alert interviewer can generally tell if the respondent is being truthful or if he or she is giving superficial or untrue response
33、s. Second, the interviewer can rephrase questions, give more explanations, or probe more deeply if the initial questions do not produce the information desired. As a result, the information gleaned should be more accurate than that provided by interviews where no one is present to clarify questions
34、or to interpret answers.56. It can be concluded from the passage that when all the people to be interviewed are located in a relatively big geographical area_.A. personal interviewing is most effectiveB. personal interviewing is economically impracticalC. personal interviewing is the only technique
35、to get informationD. telephone interviewing may not be used57. Sometimes a researcher cannot get valid results because_ .A. the information needed is too complex to be gatheredB. personal interviewing is the most accurate of all survey research techniquesC. personal interviewing is not as effective
36、as other research techniquesD. both interviewer and interviewee may make mistakes during the interview58. In the second paragraph, the phrase “an invasion of privacy“ most probably means_.A. an unpleasant conversationB. a challenge to interviewees professional skillsC. an interference with interview
37、ees personal affairsD. an interference with interviewees hobby59. In the first sentence of the last paragraph, the pronoun “this“ refers to a(n) A. survey B. questionC. answering D. personal interviewing60. According to the last paragraph, one of the advantages of the personal interviewing is_.A. th
38、e interviewer can ask the interviewee questions again in different waysB. the interviewer can ask the interviewee some personal questionsC. the initial questions do not produce the information desiredD. no one 5s present to clarify questionsPassage ThreeI am one of the many city people who are alway
39、s saying that given the choice we would prefer to live in the country away from the dirt and noise of a large city. I have managed to convince myself that if it werent for my job I would immediately head out for the open spaces and go back to nature in some sleepy village buried fill the country. Bu
40、t how realistic is the dream?Cities can be frightening places. The majority of the population live in massive tower blocks, noisy, dirty and impersonal. The sense of belonging to a community tends to disappear when you live fifteen floors up. All you can see from your window is sky, or other blocks
41、of fiats. Children become aggressive and nervous-cooped up at home all day, with nowhere to play; their mothers feel isolated from the rest of the world. Strangely enough, whereas in the past the inhabitants of one street all knew each other, nowadays people on the same floor in tower blocks dont ev
42、en say hello to each other.Country life, on the other hand, differs from this kind of isolated existence in that a sense of community generally binds the inhabitants of small villages together. People have the advantage of knowing that there is always someone to mm to when they need help. But countr
43、y life has disadvantages too. While it is true that you may be among friends in a village, it is also tree that you are cut off from the exciting and important events that take place in cities. There is little possibility of going to a new show or the latest movie. Shopping becomes a major problem,
44、and for anything slightly out of the ordinary you have to go on an expedition to the nearest large town. The city-dweller who leaves for the country is often oppressed by a sense of unbearable stillness and quiet.What, then, is the answer? The country has the advantage of peace and quiet, but suffer
45、s from the disadvantage of being cut off; the city breeds a feeling of isolation and constant noise batters the senses. But one of its main advantages is that You are at the gentler of things, and that life doesnt come to an end at haft-past nine at night. Some people have found (or rather bough0 a
46、compromise between the two: they have expressed their preference for the “quiet life“ by leaving the suburbs and moving to villages within commuting distance of large cities. They generally have about as much sensitivity as the plastic flowers they leave behind-they are polluted with strange ideas about change and improvement which they force on to the unwilling original inhabitants of the villages.What then of my dreams of leaning on a cottage gate and murmuring “morning“ to the locals as they pass by. Im keen on the idea, but you see theres my cat, Toby. Im no
