听力原文：Started in 1636, Harvard University is the oldest of all the colleges and univers

听力原文： Started in 1636, Harvard University is the oldest of all the colleges and universities in the United States. Yale, Princeton, and Dartmouth were opened soon after Harvard. They were all started before the American Revolution made the thirteen colonies into states.

In the early years, these schools were much alike. Only young men attended college. All the students studied the same subjects and everyone learned Latin and Greek. Little was known about science then, and one kind of school could teach everything that was known about the world. When the students graduated, most of them became ministers or teachers.

In 1782, Harvard started a medical school for young men who wanted to become doctors. Later, lawyers could receive their training in Harvard Law School. In 1825, Harvard began teaching modem languages, such as French and German, as well as Latin and Greek. Soon it began teaching American history.

As knowledge increased, Harvard and other colleges began to teach many new subjects. Students were allowed to choose the subjects that interested them.

Special colleges for women were started. New state universities began to teach such subjects as farming, engineering and business. Today, there are many different kinds of colleges and universities. Most of them are divided into smaller schools that deal with special fields of learning. There is so much to learn that one kind of school cannot offer it all.

(30)

A．How to start a university.

B．How colleges have changed in America.

C．The American Revolution.

D．The world famous colleges in America.

第6题

I came away from my years of teaching on the college and university level with a convictio

n that enactment (扮演角色), performance, dramatization are the most successful forms of teaching. Students must be incorporated, made, so far as possible, an integral part of the learning process. The notion that learning should have in it an element of inspired play would seem to the greater part of the academic establishment merely silly, but that is nonetheless the case. Of Ezekiel Cheever, the most famous schoolmaster of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, his onetime student Cotton Mather wrote that he so planned his lessons that his pupils "came to work as though they came to play", and Alfred North Whitehead, almost three hundred years later, noted that a teacher should make his/her students "glad they were there"

Since, we are told, 80 to 90 percent of all instruction in the typical university is by the lecture method, we should give close attention to this form. of education. There is, I think, much truth in Patricia Nelson Limerick's observation that "lecturing is an unnatural act, an act for which God did not design humans. It is perfectly all right, now and then, for a human to be possessed by the urge to speak, and to speak while others remain silent. But to do this regularly, one hour and 15 minutes at a time.., for one person to drag on while others sit in silence？ ... I do not believe that this is what the Creator.., designed humans to do".

The strange, almost incomprehensible fact is that many professors, just as they feel obliged to write dully, believe that they should lecture dully. To show enthusiasm is to risk appearing unscientific, un-objective; it is to appeal to the students' emotions rather than their intellect. Thus the ideal lecture is one filled with facts and read in an unchanged monotone.

The cult (推崇) of lecturing dully, like the cult of writing dully, goes back, of course, some years. Edward Shils, professor of sociology, recalls the professors he encountered at the University of Pennsylvania in his youth. They seemed "a priesthood, rather uneven in their merits but uniform. in their bearing; they never referred to anything personal. Some read from old lecture notes and then haltingly explained the thumb-worn last lines. Others lectured from cards that had served for years, to judge by the worn edges... The teachers began on time, ended on time, and left the room without saying a word more to their students, very seldom being detained by questioners... The classes were not large, yet there was no discussion. No questions were raised in class, and there were no office hours" .

The author believes that a successful teacher should be able to______.

A．make study just as easy as play

B．improve students' learning performance

C．make inspired play an integral part of the learning process

D．make dramatization an important aspect of students' learning

Questions 下列各 are based on the following passage. The number of postgraduate students

travelling from non-EU countries to study at UK universities has fallen for the first time in 16 years, fuelling fears that the governments immigration crackdown is discouraging thousands of the brightest students from continuing their studies in Brid. Jo Beall, British Council director of education and society, said the fall would cause alarm among UK vice-chancellors (大学行政主管). "The sector was expecting a decline in growth, but the actual reduction in postgraduate numbers is of real concern as international-students make up the m~ority of numbers in many postgraduate courses and research teams in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. ""Attracting the brightest and most ambitious postgraduate and research students is critical if the UK is to maintain its quality reputation for research," Beall said. Universities get a third of their tuition (学费) fee revenue from non-EU students. There is growing fear among vice-chancellors that this revenue-as well as the cultural, academic and economic benefit international students bring--is being put at risk. Tim Westlake, director for the student experience at Manchester University, said students whose families relied on them working in the UK after their studies to gain experience and repay the fees were starting to look elsewhere. Last month the home secretary, Theresa May, announced that embassy staff would interview more than 100,000 applicants in an attempt to prevent bogus (假冒的) ones entering the country. She also said immigrants were responsible for pushing up UK house prices. The comments followed the introduction of new limitations on students right to work during and after their studies. Beall said:" Government statistics for the first time provide real evidence that the changes to UK visa regulations may have discouraged many students from applying to the UK, and in particular postgraduate students Who are so important to the UKs research output. The UK enjoys an eXcellent reputation around the world for the high quality of our education system, so the government needs to ensure that institutions have all the support they need to attract international students who make a tremendous academic, cultural and economic contribution to the UK. " What has caused the decline of the number of non-EU postgraduates in the UK？

A.The increase in tuition and fees.

B.The ever-rising living expenses.

C.Changed immigration policies.

D.Universities tightened budgets

Questions下列各are based on the following passage. Call it the "learning paradox" : the

more you struggle and even fail while youre trying to learn new information, the better youre likely to recall and apply that information later. The learning paradox is at the heart of "productive failure," a phenomenon identified by researcherManu Kapur. Kapur points out that while the model adopted by many teachers when introducing studentsto new knowledge--providing lots of structure and guidance.early on, until the student show that theycan do it on their own--makes intuitive sense, it may not be the best way to promote learning. Rather, itsbetter to let the learners wrestle (较劲) with the material on their own for a while, refraining from givingthem any assistance at the start. In a paper published recently, Kapur applied the principle of productivefailure to mathematical problem solving in three schools. With one group of students, the teacher provided strong"scaffolding"--instructional support--andfeedback. With the teachers help, these pupils were able to find the answers to their set of problems,Meanwhile, a second group was directed to solve the same problems by collaborating with one another,without any prompts from their instructor. These students werent able to complete the problems correctly. But in the course of trying to do so, they generated a lot of ideas about the nature of theproblems and about what potential solutions would look like. And when the two groups were tested onwhat theyd learned, the second group "significantly outperformed" the first. The apparent struggles of the floundering (挣扎的) group have what Kapur calls a "hidden efficacy":they lead people to understand the deep structure of problems, not simply their correct solutions. Whenthese students encounter a new problem of the same type on a test, theyre able to transfer the knowledgetheyve gathered more effectively than those who were the passive recipients of someone elses expertise.In the real world, problems rarely come neatly packaged, so being able to discern their deep structureis key. But, Kapur notes, none of us like to fail, no matter how often Silicon Valley entrepreneurs praisethe beneficial effects of an idea that fails or a start-up company that crashes and burns. So we need to"design for productive failure" by building it into the learning process. Kapur has identified threeconditions that promote this kind of beneficial struggle. First, choose problems to work on that "challengebut do not frustrate. " Second, provide learners with opportunities to explain and elaborate on whattheyre doing. Third, give learners the chance to compare and contrast good and bad solutions to theproblems. And to those students who protest this tough-love teaching style. youll thank me later. Why does the author call the learning process a paradox？

A.Pains do not necessarily lead to gains.

B.What is learned is rarely applicable in life.

C.Failure more often than not breeds success.

D.The more is taught, the less is learnt.

听力原文： It was 1951, during my first week at North Carolina College, a black school. The English chairman's wife, who was as light as a white woman, stopped me one day in the hall.

When I went to her office, she said, "You had the highest grade on the examination." She was talking about the exam that the entire freshman class took. In spite of her smile, her eyes and tone of voice said, "How could this black-skinned girl score higher on the test than the other students？ It must be a mistake." At North Carolina College, color was used in deciding status. The faculty assumed that light-skinned students were more intelligent, and they were always a bit surprised when a dark-skinned student did well, especially if she was a girl.

When the grades for the first quarter came out, I had the highest average in the freshmen class. The chairman's wife called me into her office again, pulled out a copy of the freshman English final exam, and asked me to retake it. I couldn't believe it. It Was so incredible to her that I had the highest score in the class that she was trying to test me again. I felt rage so intense that I wanted to start hitting her. I have seldom hated anyone so deeply. I handed the exam back to her and walked out.

(30)

A．She felt proud.

B．She felt satisfied.

C．She felt delighted.

D．She felt surprised.

听力原文：Many university students dislike studying history because there is little to get

excited about when historical events are presented in a boring manner. However, I'll never forget my American History professor, Dr. Williamson. Each event leaped from the pages of our text and became as real as the daily news report on the radio.

My favorite lecture concerned the American Revolution. Dr. Williamson set the mood for the study by imitating Paul Revere, a well-known silversmith, working in his shop. The American colonists were angry because of the British control over their lives. Revere felt that war between the British and the colonists was inevitable. Then, Dr. Williamson told us about Revere rowing across. the Charles River from Boston on April 18, 1775. I can see the professor now as he raised his hand to his forehead as if he were looking across the Charles River to the Old North Church in Boston. Suddenly, Revere spotted two lanterns, a signal which meant that the British would attack by sea. He jumped on his horse to warn the villagers of the attack. Professor Williamson reminded us that the first battles of the American Revolution were fought at Concord and at Lexington, Massachusetts, the year before the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776.

Never before had history seemed so alive to me. And all because a professor cared enough to put his heart into his teaching.

(26)

A．Because history professors are poorly prepared.

B．Because most students are lazy.

C．Because history lectures are not delivered in an interesting way.

D．Because most students feel studying history is a waste of time.
