. Semesters are 15 weeks; quarters are 10 weeks. American college students usually attend school from September to May. They can also study during the summer.

Students choose their classes a few weeks before the start of each term. Universities offer a great many classes in the students’ main area of study and in other areas as well. Students must take both. These include science, mathematics, computer, history and English. Other classes may be just for fun, like dance, theater or sports. Tests usually are given in the middle of the term and at the end. The final examinations are extremely important. In some classes, the professor asks the students to write a research paper or complete a certain task instead of taking a test.

Classes usually are organized through lectures. For example, a student may attend 2 or 3 lectures a week by the professor. As many as several hundred students sit at each lecture. Sometimes they also attend a smaller class to ask questions and discuss what the professor says. These small classes are taught by professor’s assistants.

asty foods. Almost everyone enjoys fruit. Fruit is grown in almost every part of the world. There are hundreds of different kinds of fruits. And there are thousands of different varieties. In the United States alone, there are several hundred types of apples.

In general, though, there are three separate groups. There are tropical fruits. These are most important. In this group, we have bananas and pineapples. They are shipped from tropical countries and are eaten all over the world.

Next come the subtropical fruits. The most important of these are the citrus fruits. Oranges, tangerines, limes, and grapefruit are favorites. Other fruits in this class are figs, dates, and olives.

The last group comes from the temperate zone. In this group are pears, apples, grapes, and plums. Many kinds of berries fit this group, too.

Fruits are very important to the human diet. Besides being tasty, they provide important acids, salts, and vitamins. Also, they are easy to digest. Nutrition experts say that the more fruit people eat, the healthier they become.

Down through the centuries fruit has played a part in tales and history. In a Greek myth, Hercules sent Atlas to pick "golden apples" to pay for a crime. Today we believe these golden apples were oranges. During the 1700's, British ships began to carry limes. It was found that sailors who drank the lime juice did not get sick. Since that time, British sailors have been called "limeys."

The peach also has an exciting history. It has been a world traveler. Its journey began many, many centuries ago. Peaches were first grown in China. From China, traders of long ago carried peach trees to Persia. From there, Alexander the Great brought the fruit to Europe. From Europe, Spanish ships carried peaches to the New World.

Through the years, fruit trees and plants have been improved. Today's fruits are bigger. They also taste better. Different kinds of fruits are often being bred. We now have fruit that can travel to all parts of the world and still stay fresh. Even after traveling for some time, these new fruits keep the vitamins and minerals that are so good for our diet. Fruit will always be prized as a basic food that now can be enjoyed the whole year round.

Which of the following is NOT true according to the text？

A．Most people enjoy eating fruit.

B．Fruit can be grown almost all over the world.

C．There are less than a hundred kinds of fruits.

D．There are three groups of fruits.

听力原文： There student thieves look out. Students can easily get many research papers off the Internet. A new Website could help teachers catch copiers.

Some students research and write their term papers. Others, however, just copy them off the Internet and turn them in as their work.

Two graduate students at the University of California at Berkeley have written a program to catch the students who copy. It compares a student's paper with every other term paper on the Web.

A hundred million Web pages on the Internet are searched. The top 20 search engines are used for the search. This service can be found at www. Plagiarism.com. They also have a local database of term papers. Teachers who sign up can send their students' 'papers to the Website. Within 24 hours they know if the student did the work. Every sentence that was a word-for-word match with another sentence either found on the Internet or within our database is coded.

A U. C. Berkeley professor told his class he would use the program. Still some students copied papers. All 300 papers went through the program. In 45 papers or 15 percent of students had cut and pasted large amounts of material from different World Wide Websites.

Students that say they didn't copy can defend themselves. They can show the instructor where they got their material. Students at universities try hard to get good grades. Some students welcome the Internet research watchdog because they say it is fair to all. They think copying is wrong.

Instead of researching and writing their papers, some students ______.

A．ask other students to write their papers

B．draw pictures instead

C．copy from reference books

D．copy papers or large parts of papers from the Internet

To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor; you must be able to hold the attention and interest of your students; you must be a clear speaker, with a good, strong, pleasing voice which is fully under you control; and you must be able to act what you are teaching, in order to make its meaning clear. Watch a good teacher, and you will see that he does not move motionless before his class; he stands the whole time he is teaching; he walks about, using his arms, hands and fingers to help him in his explanation, and his face to express his feeling. Listen to him, and you will hear the loudness, the quality and musical note of his voice always changing according to what he is talking about. The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor doesn't mean he will indeed be able to act well on the stage, for there are very important differences between the teacher's word and the actor's. The actor has to speak words which has been learnt by heart, he has

How can a single postage stamp be worth $16 800？ Any mistake made in the printing of a stamp raises its value to stamp collectors. A mistake on one inexpensive postage stamp has made the stamp worth a million and a half times its original value. The mistake was made more than a hundred years ago in the British colony Mauritius , a small island in the Indian Ocean. In 1847 an order for stamps was sent to a London printer – Mauritius was to become the fourth country in the world to issue stamps. Before the order was filled and delivered, a ball was planned at Mauritius ’ Government House, and stamps were needed to send out the invitations. A local printer was instructed to copy the design for the stamps. He accidentally marked the words " Post Office" instead of " Post Paid" on the several hundred stamps that he printed.

Today there are only twenty-six of these misprinted stamps left—fourteen One-Penny Orange-Reds and twelve Two-Penny Blues. Because of the Two-Penny Blue's rareness and age, collectors have paid as much as $ 16800 for it.

1、The best title for this section is ____.

A、The “Post Paid” Error

B、The Twopenny Blue

C、A London Printer’s Error

D、How Mauritius Became Famous

2、Which one is implied but not stated？

A、All correctly printed stamps are worthless.

B、Mauritians needed the stamps to send out invitations to a ball.

st. In medieval and Renaissance painting you see pintsized men and women, wearing grown-up clothes and grown-up expressions, performing grown-up tasks. Children did not exist because the family as we know it had not evolved.

Children today not only exist; they have taken over, in no place more than in America, and at no time more than now. It is always Kids' Country here. Our civilization is child-centered, child-obsessed. A kid's body is our physical ideal. In Kids' Country we do not permit middle-age. Thirty is promoted over 50, but 30 knows that soon his time to be overtaken will come.

We are the first society in which parents expect to learn from their children. Such a topsy-turvy (颠倒) situation has come about at least in part because, unlike the rest of the world, ours is an immigrant society, and for immigrants the only hope is in the kids. In the Old Country, that is, Europe, hope was in the father, and how much wealth he could accumulate and pass along to his children. In the growth pattern of America and its everexpanding frontier, the young man was ever advised to GO WEST; the father was ever inheriting from his son. Kids' Country may be the inevitable result.

Kids' Country is not all bad. America is the greatest country in the world to grow up in because it is Kids' Country. We not only wear kids' clothes and eat kids' food; we dream Kids' dreams and make them come true. It was, after all, a boy's game to go to the moon.

If in the old days children did not exist, it seems equally true today that adults, as a class, have begun to disappear, condemning all of us to remain boys and girls forever, jogging and doing push-ups (俯卧撑) against eternity.

The author uses the example of the Renaissance painting to show that ______.

A．adults showed less concern for children than we do now

B．adults were smaller and thinner at that time; but they still had a lot of work to do

C．children looked and acted like adults at that time

D．children were not permitted to appear in family paintings at that time

ent in the drama (46) By the date of his birth Europe was witnessing the passing of thereligious drama， and the creation of new forms under the incentive of classical tragedy andcomedy. These new forms were at first mainly written by scholars and performed by amateurs，but in England， as everywhere else in western Europe， the growth of a class of professionalactors was threatening to make the drama popular， whether it should be new or old， classicalor medieval， literary or farcical Court， school organizations of amateurs， and the travelingactors were all rivals in supplying a widespread desire for dramatic entertainment；

and （47）no boy who went a grammar school could be ignorant that the drama was a form. of literaturewhich gave glory to Greece and Rome and might yet bring honor to England. When Shakespeare was twelve years old， the first public playhouse was built in London For a time literature showed no interest in this public stage Plays aiming at literary distinctionwere written for school or court， or for the choir boys of St Paul’s and the royal chapel， who，however，

gave plays in public as well as at court （48）but the professional companies prosperedin their permanent theaters， and university men with literature ambitions were quick to turn to these theaters as offering a means of livelihood. By the time Shakespeare was twenty-five， Lyly，Peele， and Greene had made comedies that were at once popular and literary；

Kyd had writtena tragedy that crowded the pit； and Marlowe had brought poetry and genius to triumph on thecommon stage - where they had played no part since the death of Euripides （49）A nativeliterary drama had been created， its alliance with the public playhouses established， and atleast some of its great traditions had been begun . The development of the Elizabethan drama for the next twenty-five years is of exceptionalinterest to students of literary history， for in this brief period we may trace the beginning，growth， blossoming， and decay of many kinds of plays， and of many great careers We areamazed today at the mere number of plays produced， as well as by the number of dramatistswriting at the same time for this London of two hundred thousand inhabitants.

（50）To realizehow great was the dramatic activity， we must remember further that hosts of plays have beenlost， and that probably there is no author of note whose entire work has survived.
