Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage. Many teachers believe that the responsibility for learning lies with the students. If a long reading assignment is given,instructors expect students to be familiar with the information in the reading even if they do not discuss it in class or give an examination. (Courses are not designed merely for students to pass exams). The ideal student is considered to be one who is motivated to learn for the sake of learning,not the one interested only in getting high grades. Grade-conscious students may be frustrated with teachers who do not believe it is necessary to grade every assignment. Sometimes homework is returned with brief written comments but without a grade. Even if a grade is not given,the student is responsible for learning the material assigned. When research is assigned,the professor expects the student to take the initiative and to complete the assignment with minimal guidance. It is the student's responsibility to find books,periodicals,and articles in the library. Professors do not have the time to explain how a university library works,they expect students,particularly graduate students,to be able to exhaust the reference sources in the library. Professors will help students who need it,but prefer that their students not be overly dependent on them. (This differs from teacher-student relationships in other countries. )In the United States,professors have other duties besides teaching. Often they are responsible for administrative work within their departments. In addition,they may be obliged to publish articles and books. Therefore the time that a professor can spend with a student outside of class is limited. If a student has problems with classroom work,the student should either approach a professor during office hours or make an appointment.

Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage. Certain animals and plants develop characteristics(特性)that help them cope with their environment better than others of their kind. This natural biological process is called adaptation(适应性). Among the superior characteristics developed through adaptation are those that may help in getting food or shelter,in providing protection,and in producing and protecting the young. That results in the evolution of more and more organisms that are better fitted to their environments. Each living thing is adapted to its way of life in a general way,but each is adapted especially to its own distinct class. A plant,for example,depends upon its roots to fix itself firmly and to absorb water and inorganic chemicals. It depends upon its green leaves for using the sun's energy to make food from inorganic chemicals. These are general adaptations,common to most plants. In addition,there are special adaptations that only certain kinds of plants have. Many animals have adaptations that help them escape from their enemies. Some insects are hidden by their body color or shape,and many look like a leaf or a little branch. The coats of deer are colored to mix with the surroundings. Many animals have the ability to remain completely still when an enemy is near. Organisms have a great variety of ways for adapting. They may adapt in their structure,function,and genetics(遗传素质);in their development and production of the young;and in other respects. An organism may create its own environment,as do warm-blooded mammals. which have the ability to adjust body heat exactly to maintain their ideal temperature despite changing weather. Usually adaptations are an advantage,but sometimes an organism is so well adapted to a particular environment that,if conditions Change,it finds it difficult or impossible to readapt to the new conditions.

Passage Three
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage. In the late 1960's many people in North America turned their attention to environmental problems,and new steel-and-glass skyscrapers(摩天楼)were widely criticized. Scientists pointed out that blocks of tall buildings in a city often overburdens. public transportation and parking lot capacities. Skyscrapers are also big consumers,and wasters,of electric power. In one recent year. the addition of 17 million square feet of skyscraper office space in New York City raised the peak daily demand for electricity by 120,000 kilowatts-enough to supply the entire city of Albany,New York,for a day. Glass-walled skyscrapers can be especially wasteful. The heat loss(or gain)through a wall of half-inch plate glass is more than ten times that through a typical brick wall filled with insulation board. To lessen the strain on heating and air-conditioning equipment,builders of skyscrapers have begun to use double-glazed(装上玻璃的)panels of glass,and reflective glasses coated with silver or gold mirror films that reduce glare as well as heat gain. However. mirror-walled skyscrapers raise the temperature of the surrounding air and affect neighboring buildings. Skyscrapers put a severe strain on a city's sanitation(卫生)facilities,too. If fully occupied, the two World Trade Center towers in New York City would alone generate 2.25 million gallons of raw wastes each year-as much as a city the size of Stamford,Connecticut,which has a population of more than 109,000. Skyscrapers also interfere with television reception,block bird flyways,and obstruct air traffic. In Boston in the late 1960's,some people even feared that shadows from skyscrapers would kill the grass on Boston Common. Still,people continue to build skyscrapers for all the reasons that they have always built them-personal ambition(抱负)pride,and the desire of owners to have the largest possible amount of rentable space.
11. The main purpose of the passage is to______.
A.compare skyscrapers with other modem structures
B.describe skyscrapers and their effect on the environment
C.advocate the use of masonry(化妆舞会)in the construction of skyscrapers
D.illustrate some architectural designs of skyscrapers

No one who is dependent on anything outside himself,upon money,power,fame or what not(难归类的事物;难描写的事物),is or ever can be secure. Only he who possesses himself and is content with himself is actually secure. Too much is being said about the importance of adjustment and“participation in the group. ”Even cooperation. to give this thing its most favorable designation(名称,称号;指明),is no more important than the ability to stand alone when the choice must be made between the sacrifice of one's own integrity(正直,诚实)and adjustment to or participation in group activity.
