第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，共40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
ACTIVE PARTICIPATION IN THE CLASSROOM IS NOT ONLY ACCEPTED BUT ALSO EXPECTED OF THE STUDENT IN MANY COURSES. SOME PROFESSORS BASE PART OF THE FINAL GRADE ON THE STUDENT’S ORAL PARTICIPATION. ALTHOUGH THERE ARE FORMAL LECTURES DURING WHICH THE STUDENT HAS A PASSIVE ROLE (I.E., LISTENING AND TAKING NOTES), MANY COURSES ARE ORGANIZED AROUND CLASSROOM DISCUSSIONS, STUDENTS QUESTIONS, AND INFORMAL LECTURES.
A PROFESSOR’S TEACHING STYLE IS ANOTHER FACTOR THAT DETERMINES THE DEGREE AND TYPE OF STUDENT PARTICIPATION. SOME PROFESSORS PREFER TO CONTROL DISCUSSION WHILE OTHERS PREFER TO GUIDE THE CLASS WITHOUT CONTROLLING IT. MANY PROFESSORS ENCOURAGE STUDENTS TO QUESTION AND CHALLENGE THEIR IDEAS. STUDENTS WHO MAKE STATEMENTS THAT CONTRADICT THE PROFESSOR’S POINT OF VIEW SHOULD BE PREPARED TO PROVE THEIR POSITIONS.
IDEALLY, THE TEACHER-STUDENT RELATIONSHIP AT UNIVERSITIES IS CHARACTERIZED BY TRUST. THE “HONOR SYSTEM” DEMANDS THAT THE STUDENT BE HONEST IN ALL AREAS OF SCHOOL WORK. THUS, CHEATING ON TESTS, PRESENTING OTHERS’ IDEAS AS ORIGINAL, AND TURNING IN HOMEWORK DONE BY SOMEONE ELSE ARE ALL FORBIDDEN.
VIOLATION OF THE HONOR SYSTEM CAN RESULT IN A STUDENT’S FAILING A COURSE, HAVING A RECORD OF THE VIOLATION PLACED IN THE STUDENT’S SCHOOL FILES, OR EVEN BEING DRIVEN OUT FROM THE UNIVERSITY. STUDENTS WHO CHEAT MAY LOSE THE RESPECT OF OTHER STUDENTS, PARTICULARLY THOSE WHO STUDY FOR EXAMS AND WORK INDEPENDENTLY. WHEN LEAVING THE CLASSROOM WHILE STUDENTS ARE TAKING AN EXAM, AN INSTRUCTOR MAY OR MAY NOT SAY, “I EXPECT YOU ALL TO OBEY THE HONOR SYSTEM.” EVEN IF THE WORDS ARE NOT STATED, THE STUDENT IS EXPECTED TO WORK ALONE AND NOT TO SHARE ANSWERS.
56. IF A STUDENT DOES NOT AGREE WITH THE PROFESSOR IN A LECTURE, THE STUDENT IS ENCOURAGED TO __________.
A. REMAIN SILENT B. CHALLENGE THE PROFESSOR
C. LEAVE THE CLASS D. TELL THE PROFESSOR IMMEDIATELY THAT HE IS WRONG
57.IF A PROFESSOR BELIEVES IN THE “HONOR SYSTEM,” IT IMPLIES HIS _________.
A. SUSPICION OF THE STUDENTS B. DISTRUST OF THE STUDENTS
C. TRUST IN THE STUDENTS D. PRIDE IN THE STUDENTS
58. VIOLATIONS OF THE HONOR SYSTEM DO NOT INCLUDE __________.
A. CHEATING B. FAILING A COURSE
C. SHARING ANSWERS D. HANDING IN HOMEWORK DONE BY ANOTHER STUDENT
B

WALL STREET IS THE BANKING CENTER OF NEW YORK CITY. BUT HOW DID THE STREET GET ITS UNUSUAL NAME? TO FIND OUT, WE MUST GO BACK TO THE EARLY YEARS OF EXPLORATION IN NORTH AMERICA.
NEW YORK CITY WAS FIRST CALLED NEW AMSTERDAM BY THE EXPLORER HENRY HUDSON. HE WAS WORKING FOR A DUTCH TRADING COMPANY WHEN HE ENTERED WHAT IS NOW THE LOWER HUDSON RIVER AREA IN THE YEAR 1609. THERE HE FOUND AN ISLAND THAT WAS A PERFECT TRADING HARBOR. THE MANHATTAN INDIANS LIVED THERE.
DUTCH TRADERS BUILT A TOWN ON THE END OF MANHATTAN ISLAND. IT BECAME A RICH TRADING CENTER. BUT THE BRITISH QUESTIONED THE RIGHT OF THE DUTCH TO CONTROL THE AREA. THE TWO NATIONS WENT TO WAR IN 1652.
THE GOVERNOR OF NEW AMSTERDAM, PETER STUYVESANT, WORRIED THAT BRITISH SETTLERS IN NEW ENGLAND WOULD ATTACK HIS TOWN. HE ORDERED THAT A PROTECTIVE WALL BE BUILT AT THE NORTH EDGE OF MANHATTAN. THE WALL WAS MORE THAN 2,290 FEET LONG. IT EXTENDED FROM THE HUDSON RIVER TO THE EAST RIVER.
THE BRITISH NEVER ATTACKED NEW AMSTERDAM. SO THE WALL WAS NEVER TESTED IN WAR. BUT THE PATH BESIDE IT BECAME KNOWN AS WALL STREET. LATER, WALL STREET BECAME A STREET OF BANKS AND BUSINESS.
DEALING IN STOCKS AND SHARES IN THE STOCK MARKETS BEGAN IN THE 17TH CENTURY. AN INFORMAL MARKET DEVELOPED AROUND THE COFFEE HOUSES IN THE CITY OF LONDON GRADUALLY. IN 1773 “NEW JONATHAN’S” COFFEE HOUSE BECAME THE INFORMAL STOCK EXCHANGE, AND IT WAS FORMALLY ESTABLISHED TILL 1802. AT THAT TIME LONDON WAS THE LARGEST SHARE MARKET, AND THE GROWTH OF THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION HELPED THE ESTABLISHMENT OF LOCAL SHARE MARKETS IN OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTRY --- MORE THAN 330 OF THEM WHEN THERE WERE MOST. THESE MARKETS FIRST BEGAN MOVES TOWARDS COMBINATION IN 1890, WHEN THE COUNCIL OF ASSOCIATED STOCK EXCHANGES WAS FORMED. BY 1967 ALL THE “COUNTRY” EXCHANGES HAD GOT TOGETHER THEMSELVES INTO SIX REGIONAL EXCHANGES, AND IN 1973 ALL SEVEN EXCHANGES IN THE BRITISH ISLES CAME TOGETHER TO FORM THE STOCK EXCHANGES OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND, AND ITS MEMBER FIRMS SPREAD FROM ABERDEEN TO THE CHANNEL ISLANDS AND FROM LANCASTER TO LIMERICK.
67. MANHATTAN WAS NAMED AFTER __________.
A. A DUTCH EXPLORER B. A BRITISH COLONIST
C. AN INDIAN TRIBE D. THE DUTCH GOVERNOR
68. THE BRITISH AND THE DUTCH WENT TO WAR IN 1652 BECAUSE __________.

UNTIL A RELATIVELY SHORT TIME AGO, TRAVELING ABROAD WAS LIMITED TO RICH TOURISTS AND WEALTHY BUSINESSPEOPLE. FLYING ABROAD WAS NOT COMMON FOR THE AVERAGE PERSON. IN TIME, HOWEVER, PLANE TRAVEL BECAME SAFER, MORE CONVENIENT, AND LESS EXPENSIVE. AS A RESULT, PEOPLE OF DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS NOW FLY TO DISTANT PLACES FOR PLEASURE AND BUSINESSPEOPLE FLY TO ONE COUNTRY FOR A BREAKFAST OR LUNCH CONFERENCE, AND THEN FLY TO ANOTHER COUNTRY FOR A DINNER MEETING.
WITH THE WORLD BECOMING SMALLER, MANY YOUNG ADULTS MAKE THE DECISION TO STUDY IN FOREIGN UNIVERSITIES. IT IS AN EXCITING, CHALLENGING EXPERIENCE TO LIVE IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY. ANYONE WHO CAN STUDY ABROAD IS FORTUNATE; BUT, OF COURSE, IT IS NOT EASY TO CHANGE FROM ONE CULTURE TO ANOTHER. ONE FACES MANY DIFFICULTIES.
THE STUDENT WHO STUDIES IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY LEAVES BEHIND A FAMILIAR, LOVING, COMFORTABLE ENVIRONMENT. BACK HOME, HE HAS HIS FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND ACQUAINTANCES. HE KNOWS THE LANGUAGE, POLITICS, MONEY, FOOD, SOCIAL CUSTOMS, AND SO FORTH. HE KNOWS ALL THE UNCLEAR ASPECTS OF HIS NATIVE CULTURE, SUCH AS BODY LANGUAGE, AND BARGAINING PRACTICES, ETC. IN SHORT, HE KNOWS “THE SYSTEM” IN HIS NATIVE COUNTRY. THEN ONE DAY HE LEAVES ALL THIS BEHIND AND SUDDENLY FINDS HIMSELF IN A PLACE WHERE EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING IS STRANGE, PERHAPS EVEN CONFUSING. ALL THIS STRANGENESS IS A MAJOR SURPRISE TO A PERSON’S SELF-CONFIDENCE. THIS SUDDEN CHANGE OFTEN LEADS TO A REACTION CALLED CULTURE SHOCK.
FOREIGNERS EXPERIENCE DIFFERENT DEGREES OF CULTURE SHOCK. THE SYMPTOMS RANGE FROM BEING ILL AT EASE TO BEING SERIOUSLY DEPRESSED. FEELING HOMESICK, UNHAPPY, AND VERY SENSITIVE ARE OTHER SIGNS OF CULTURE SHOCK. IT IS EASY TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE ENDLESS FRUSTRATIONS OF THE EARLY DAYS IN A NEW COUNTRY WOULD PRODUCE DISSATISFACTION, AND PERHAPS EVEN HOSTILITY（敌意）. PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS AT EASE IN A FAMILIAR ENVIRONMENT. A MATURE, REALISTIC PERSON EXPERIENCES MILD, TEMPORARY SYMPTOMS; THE INSECURE NEWCOMER SUFFERS MORE SERIOUSLY FROM A CULTURE SHOCK.
DURING THE UNAVOIDABLE PERIOD OF ADJUSTMENT, THE INTERNATIONAL STUDENT TENDS TO COMPLAIN ABOUT EVERYTHING IN THE NEW ENVIRONMENT. IN FACT, THE STUDENT IS LIKELY TO EXAGGERATE（夸大） THE PROBLEMS. WHEN THE STUDENT MEETS ANOTHER MISERABLE PERSON FROM THE SAME COUNTRY, HE WILL POUR OUT HIS UNHAPPY FEELINGS. TOGETHER THEY CAN COMPLAIN IN THEIR NATIVE LANGUAGE. ALTHOUGH THIS COMPLAINING PROVIDES TEMPORARY SATISFACTION, IT CERTAINLY DOES NOT HELP HIM ADAPT TO A NEW SOCIETY. BEING NEGATIVE WILL NEVER GET RID OF THE FEELINGS OF FRUSTRATIONS. THE MATURE PERSON UNDERSTANDS THAT A POSITIVE ATTITUDE, DETERMINATION, AND FLEXIBILITY ARE IMPORTANT IN MAKING THE CHANGE SUCCESSFUL. A SENSE OF HUMOR IS A BIG HELP.

A. LIMITED TO RICH TOURISTS AND WEALTHY BUSINESSPEOPLE

HONORABLE TEACHERS, DISTINGUISHED GUESTS AND MY FELLOW STUDENTS,
IT IS GREAT HONOR FOR ME TO SHARE WITH YOU MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE IN READING BOOKS.
PERSONALLY, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR US TO CHOOSE PROPER KINDS OF BOOKS TO READ. ABOVE ALL, THE BOOKS WE READ SHOULD BE NEITHER TOO DIFFICULT NOR TOO EASY. THEY MUST BE SUITABLE FOR US. SECOND, AS FOR READING, SOME BOOKS CAN BE SCANNED WHILE SOME OTHERS SHOULD BE CHEWED. IN OTHER WORDS, IT IS CONSIDERED EXTREMELY NECESSARY FOR US TO DEVELOP THE GOOD HABIT OF MAKING NOTES WHEN READING SUCH BOOKS. THIRD, IT IS CERTAIN THAT WE SHOULD READ BOOKS THAT WE FEEL INTERESTED IN, BUT WHAT’S MORE IMPORTANT IS TO READ BOOKS THAT ARE BENEFICIAL FOR OURSELVES.
ALL IN ALL, FOR US STUDENTS, READING BOOKS IS WHAT WE HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DO EVERY DAY, FOR WE ARE EXPECTED TO MASTER A GOOD KNOWLEDGE OF ALL SUBJECTS IN ORDER TO PASS THE ENTRANCE EXAMINATIONS TO COLLEGE. BESIDES, READING CAN NOT ONLY BROADEN OUR HORIZONS BUT ALSO PREPARE US TO ADAPT TO OUR FUTURE LIFE.
FINALLY, I’D LIKE TO CONVEY MY BEST WISHES TO THIS ACTIVITY OF READING BOOKS. I WISH IT A PERFECT SUCCESS! THANK YOU.
