16、re are 3 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should decide on the best choice.Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:It would be interesting to discover how many young people go to uni

17、versity without any clear idea of what they are going to do afterwards. If one considers the enormous variety of courses offered, it is not hard to do see how difficult it is for a student to select the course most suited to his interests and abilities. If a student goes to university to acquire a b

18、roader perspective of life, to enlarge his ideas and to learn to think for himself, he will undoubtedly benefit. Schools often have too restricting an atmosphere, with its timetables and disciplines, to allow him much time for independent assessmentof the work he is asked to do. Most students would,

19、 I believe, profit by about a year s exploration of different academic studies, especially those “ -arlol unders ” with no particular interest.There is, of course, another side to the question of how to make the best use of one stime at university. This is the case of the student who excels in a par

20、ticular branch of learning. He is immediately accepted by the university ofhis choice, and spends his three or four years becoming a specialist, emerging with a first-class Honor Degree and very little knowledge of what the rest of the world is all about. It therefore becomes more and more important

21、 that, if students are not to waste their opportunities, there will have to be much more detailed information about courses and more advice.36. It is so difficult for a new university student to select the course most suited to his interests and abilities.A. because he is restricted by the timetable

22、s and disciplinesB. because he is not allowed to decide for himselfC. because he wants to acquire a broader perspective of lifeD. because he knows little about the great number of courses offered37. In the author s opinion, university is a place where .A. new students usually get confusedB. students

23、 are not allowed much time for independent thinkingC. students can learn much more than book knowledgeD. too much courses are offered38. Which of the following would the author agree?A. A student should acquire wide knowledge of different subjects before he decides in which one he wants to take his

24、degree.B. A student must excel in a particular branch of learning.t choose to.C. A student shouldn t enter the university which he doesnD. A student must make the best use of his time at university by focusing his mind on his major courses.39. An all- rounder .A. is interested in no subjectB. has in

25、terest in different academic studiesC. doesn t have independent assessment of the work he is asked to do D. is unable to choose the course most suited to his interests40. The author suggests .A. neither enough information about the courses nor enough advice has been given to university studentsB. un

26、iversity students are becoming more and more dependentC. universities failed to produce specialists with first-class Honor Degrees D. it s the teacher s duty to help students choose their majorsQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.In science the meaning of the word“ explain ” suffer

27、s with civilizationstep in search of reality. Science can not really explain electricity, magnetism, and gravitation; their effects can be measured and predicted, but of their nature no more is known to the modern scientist than to Thales, who first looked into the nature of the electrification of a

28、mber僦珀）.Most present physicists reject the notion that man can ever discover what these mysterious forces “ reallyare”. Electricity, Bertrand Russell says, is not a thing, like St.Paul s Cathedral; it is a way in which things behave. When we have told how things behave when they are electrified, and

29、 under what circumstances they are electrified, we have told all there is to tell. Until recently scientists would have disapproved of such an idea. Aristotle, for example, whose natural science dominated Western thought for two thousand years, believed that man could arrive at an understanding of r

30、eality by reasoning from self-evident principle. He felt, for example, that it is a self-evident principle that everything in the universe has its proper place, hence one can deduce that objects fall to the ground because that s where they belong, and smoke goesup becausethat wshere it belongs. The

31、goal of Aristotelian science was to explain why things happen. Modern science was born when Galileo began trying to explain how things happen and thus originated the method of controlled experiment which now forms the basis of scientific investigation.41. The aim of controlled scientific experiments

32、 is .A. to explain why things happenB. to explain how things happenC. to describe self-evident principlesD. to support Aristotelian science42. What principles most influenced scientific thought for two thousand years?A. The speculations of Thales.B. The forces of electricity, magnetism and gravity.C

33、. Aristotle s natural science.D. Galileo s discoveries.43. Bertrand Russell s notion about electricity isA. disapproved of by most modern scientistsB. in agreement with Aristotles theeovryidoefnst eplrfincipleC. in agreementwith scientific investigation directed toward how things happen第 7 頁（共 12 頁）

34、D. in agreement with scientific investigation directed toward why things happen44. The passagesays that until recently scientists disagreed with the ideaA. that there are mysterious forces in the universeB. that man cannot discover what forces really areC. that there are self-evident principleD. tha

35、t we can discover why things behave as they do 45. Modern science came into being .A. when the method of controlled experiment was first introducedB. when Galileo succeeded in explaining how things happenC. when Aristotelian scientists tried to explain why things happenD. when scientists were able t

36、o acquire an understanding of reality by reasoningQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.There s an energy crisis in America, and it has nothing to do with fossil fuels. Millions of us get up each morning already weary over the day holds. just can t get started, ” People say. But it s

37、 not physical energy that most of u lack. Sure, we could all use extra sleep and a better diet. But in truth, people are healthier today than at any time in history. I can almost guarantee that if you long for more energy, the problem is not with your body.What you re seeking is not physical energy.

38、 It s emotional energy. Yet,sad to say life sometimes seems designed to exhaust our supply. We work too hard. We have family obligations. We encounter emergenciesand personal crises. No wonder so many of us suffer from emotional fatigue, a kind of utter exhaustion of the spirit.And yet we all know p

39、eople who are filled with joy, despite the unpleasant circumstances of their lives. Even as a child, I observed people who were poor or disabled, or ill, but who nonetheless faced life with optimism and vigor. Consider Laura Hillenbrand, who despite an extremely weak body wrote the best-seller Seabi

40、scuit. Hillenbrand barely had enough physical energy to drag herself out of bed to write. But she was fueled by having a story she wanted to share. It was emotional energy that helped her succeed.Unlike physical energy, which is finite and diminishes with age, emotional energy is unlimited and has n

41、othing to do with genes or upbringing. So how do you get it? You can t simply tell yourself to be positive. You must take action. Here are six practical strategies that work.Do something new.Very little that s new occurs in our lives. The impact of this sameness on our emotional energy is gradual, b

42、ut huge: It s like a tire with a slow leak.You don t it at first, but eventually you ll get a flat. It s up to you toleak even though there are always a dozen reasons to stay stuck in your dull routines of life. That s where Maura, 36, a waitress, found herself a year ago.Fortunately, Maura had a li

43、feline a group of women friends who meet regularly to discuss their lives. Their lively discussions spurred Maura to make small but neverthelesslife altering changes. She joined a gym in the next town. She changed her look with a short haircut and new black T-shirts. Eventually, Maura gathered the c

44、ourage to quit her job and start her own business.Here s a challengeIf: it s somethyinogu wouldn t ordinarily do, do it.Try a dish you venever eaten. Listen to music you d ordinarily tune out. You ll discover these small things add to your emotional energy.46. The energy crisis in America discussed

45、here mainly refers to .A) a shortage of bioenergyC) lack of motional energyB) a shortage of fossil fuels.D) lack of physical energy47. There are possible reasons for the lack of emotional energy EXCEPTA) People work too hardC) People have family responsibilityB) People care less about their bodyD) P
