听力原文：In many American universities the total work for a degree consists of thirty-six

听力原文： In many American universities the total work for a degree consists of thirty-six courses, each lasting for one semester. A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks; while attending a university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester. Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two semesters each year. It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period. It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not in fact done as a regular practice.

For every course that he follows a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the record is available for die student to show to prospective employers. All this imposes a constant pressure and strain of work, but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs. Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm. The effective work of maintaining discipline is usually performed by students who advise the academic authorities. With the enormous numbers of students, the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activity. A student who tins held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career.

(33)

A．To live in a different university.

B．To take a particular course in a different university.

C．To live at home and drive to classes.

D．To get two degrees from two different universities.

听力原文：Generalizing about education in the United States involves some hazard because ed

听力原文： Generalizing about education in the United States involves some hazard because education is decentralized and standards vary from place to place. What is more, diversity is the hall-mark of American education.

Education is largely a public function in America, but religious and private institutions do sponsor schools. These private schools, particularly in the primary and secondary field, are now enjoying a resurgence.

Most children in America begin school in a kindergarten class at age 5. This follows with eight years of primary education, then four years of high school. Education is compulsory until about age 16. The existence of large minorities, many with a primary language other than English, complicates the educational process. Many Americans do not believe that their school standards are high enough. The high rate of functional illiteracy gives credence to this charge.

Higher education in America is widespread with about 1,800 post-secondary institutions. These include two-year community colleges, four-year undergraduate colleges and universities, and many schools which have extensive graduate programs. Some schools are privately funded, but most receive the bulk of their funding from public sources. There is a great range of quality between higher educational institutions and, some universities have outstanding academic records. These quality differences may be overemphasized for many non-prestige schools have excellent programs. In the long run, the individual determines the education he gets.

(33)

A．There are not accepted standards.

B．There are too many schools.

C．Decentralization brings much diversity.

D．No one has critically studied the subject.

听力原文：The word "okay" is known and used by millions of people all over the world. Still

听力原文： The word "okay" is known and used by millions of people all over the world. Still, language experts do not agree on where it came from. Some say it came from Indian people. When Europeans first came to America, they heard hundreds of different Indian languages. Many were well developed. One tribe especially had a well developed language. They were farmers and fishermen who lived in the rich Mississippi valley in what is now the state of Alabama. When problems arose, the headers of this tribe discussed them with the tribal chief. They sat in a circle and listened to the wisdom of the chief. He heard the different proposals often raising and lowering his head in agreement, and saying, "okeh," meaning, "all is so". The Indian languages have given many words to English. Many American states have Indian names, and so do rivers, streams, mountains, cities and towns.

(30)

A．American Indian.

B．British people.

C．Europeans.

D．African people.

听力原文：America is growing older. Fifty years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the

听力原文： America is growing older. Fifty years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 65 or older. Today, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65. The aging of the population will affect American society in many ways — education, medicine and business.

Quietly, the graying of America has made us a very different society — one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior. is suitable at various ages. A person's age no longer tells you anything about his / her social position, marriage or health. There's no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The social clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school, get a job, or stop working isn't as strong as it used to be. It doesn't surprise us to hear of a 29-year-old university president or a 35-year-old grandmother, or a 70-year-old man who has become a father for the first time.

Public ideas are changing. Many people say, "I am much younger than my mother or my father was at my age". No one says "Act your age" anymore. We've stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways.

Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.

29. What is the percentage of people above 65 in America today？

30. What can we know from the passage？

31. What does the passage imply？

(30)

A．4%.

B．10%.

C．14%.

D．25%.

听力原文：In many parts of the world, farmers and their families live in villages or towns.

听力原文： In many parts of the world, farmers and their families live in villages or towns. In the United States, however, each farm family lives on its own fields, often beyond the sight of any neighbors. Instead of traveling from a village to the fields every morning, American farmers stay on their land throughout the week. They travel to the nearest town on Saturdays for shopping or on Sundays for church. The children ride on buses to large schools which serve all of the farm families living in the area. In some areas, there are small schools serving a few farm families, and the children walk to school.

Of course life keeps changing for everyone, including farmers. Today there are cars, good roads, radios, and television sets. And of course there are modern machines for farming. All of these have changed farm life.

For many years, however, farming in America was often a lonely way of living. Farmers had to deal with their own problems, instead of getting help from others. They learned to try new methods, and to trust their own ideas instead of following older ways.

(30)

A．They live in bigger houses.

B．They live in villages or in towns.

C．Each family lives on its own fields.

D．They use modern machines in farming.

听力原文：The Europeans who left their homeland in the 18th and 19th centuries and settled

听力原文： The Europeans who left their homeland in the 18th and 19th centuries and settled their homes in North America are referred to as early settlers. Early settlers who came from the eastern parts of the present U.S.A. were used to having many trees around, so they found it rather hard to get used to living in a treeless plain like the state of Nebraska. When they first settled down in Nebraska, they needed large quantities of wood for building houses, making fires and doing many other things. Therefore they started many tree-planting plans that went on for years and years. Finally in 1872, a newspaperman named J. Sterling Morton had an idea: Why not have a special day set aside for planting trees. So Arbor Day was born on April 10th, 1872. The state government announced that it would give prizes to individuals and groups that planted the most trees. On that first day, more than 1,000,000 trees were planted in Nebraska. In this way Nebraska has been full of trees and it's green all the year around.

(33)

A．Who the early settlers were.

B．When the first Arbor Day began.

C．How the first Arbor Day came into being.

D．Who was J. Sterling Morton.

听力原文：Many changes are taking place in food style. in the U. S. America is traditionall

听力原文： Many changes are taking place in food style. in the U. S. America is traditionally famous for its very solid and unchanging diet of meat and potatoes. Now we have many different alternatives to choose from, various ethnic food, health food and fast food in addition to the traditional home-cooked meal.

Ethnic restaurants and supermarkets are commonplace in the U. S. because the U.S. is a country of immigrants. There is an immense variety. Any large American city is filled with restaurants serving international cooking. Many cities even have ethnic sections: Chinatown, Little Italy or Germantown. With this vast ethnic choice, we can enjoy food from all over the world. This is a pleasant thought for those who come here to travel or to work. They can usually find their native specialties.

Health food gained popularity when people began to think more seriously about their physical well-being. The very term health food is ironic because it implies that there is also unhealth food.

They eat no meat. They prefer to get their essential protein from other sources, such as beans, cheese and eggs. Fast food restaurants are now expanding rapidly all over the country. In the U.S. speed is very important. People usually have a short lunch break or they just do not want to waste their time eating. Fast food restaurants are places which take care of hundreds of people in a short time. There is usually very little waiting and the food is always cheap. Some examples are hamburger and pizza places.

A．Lack of variety.

B．Full of varieties.
