People drink large quantities of beer and whiskey, but most characteristic is the great number and variety of cocktails available. Some people do not have access to alcohol all their lives. They believe too much drink will lead to diseases like heart attack. But according to recent studies, liquor-no more than three drinks a day-- may significantly decrease your risk of a heart attack.

Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension Directions: This part is to test your rending ability. There are 5 tasks for you to fulfil. You should read the material carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.
Task 1 In many countries such as France, Greece, and Japan, it is often more difficult for students to pass the college entrance exams than to do the course work when they are actually in college and students who don' t have much money are at a disadvantage. Students prepare for these tests for years in advance. Often, students attend a private school at night to get ready for them. These private schools are usually expensive. If their families don' t have much money, students can' t attend and they might not pass the entrance exams without this extra preparation. In contrast, students can easily get into an American or Canadian college--at least more easily than in other countries. American students take an entrance exam called the S. A. T(the Scholastic Aptitude Test(学习能力测验). However, colleges do not consider only S. A.T. scores. They also consider a student' s grades and activities throughout high school. A student who has done well in high school will probably get into college. What happens when a student finally enters a college or university? Students in China, Korea or Japan might find their college studies easier than high school work. On the other hand, when American or Canadian students begin college, many of them discover that they need to work very hard and study seriously for the first time in their lives especially if they plan to go to graduate school.
1. In France and Greece, students find that ______.
A.they don't have to do extra preparation to pass the entrance exams
B.differences in college education in different countries
C.American higher education
D.higher education in general
A B C D
B
文章主旨题。整个文章提到的就是各个国家的不同教育制度。所以选择B。
Task 2 Most of us grow up taking certain things for granted. We tend to answer that experts and religious leaders tell us "the troth". We tend to believe that things advertised on television or in newspapers can't be bad for us. However, encouragement of critical thinking in students is one of the goals of most colleges and universities. Few professors require students to share the professors' own beliefs. In general, professors are more concerned that students learn to question and critically examine the arguments of others, including some of their own beliefs or values. This does not mean that professors insist that you change your beliefs, either. It does mean, however, that professors will usually ask you to support the views you express in class or in your writing. If your premises (前提) are shaky, or if your arguments are not logical, professors personally point out the false reasoning in your arguments. Most professors want you to learn to recognize the premises of your arguments, to examine whether you really accept these premises, and to understand whether or not you draw logical conclusions. Put it this way: professors don' t tell you what to think; they try to teach you how to think. On the other hand, if you intend to disagree with your professors in class, you should be prepared to offer a strong argument in support of your ideas. Arguing just for the sake of arguing usually does not promote a critical examination of ideas. Many professors interpret it as rudeness.
1. In the first paragraph, the writer tries to tell us that people ______.
A.easily accept certain things without a second thought
B.grow up through learning certain things in life
