They are there because it has bee the thing to do or because college is a pleasant place to be in ; because its the only way they can get parents or tax-payers to support them without working at a job they dont like ; because mothers want them to do so , or for which college is supposedly organized . Some of the professors and administrators estimate (估计) that no more than 25 per cent of their students are interested in classwork . For the rest , college is at best a social center or a place where time can be killed , and at worst a young peoples home or even a prison that keeps them out of the way of economic (经济的) life for a few more years .I no longer accept the idea that college is the best place for all high school graduates . Just as the United States was the first nation to make great efforts to teach every small child to read and write ,so , during the 1950s , we became the first and the only great nation to offer higher education to all . During the 60s we built great state university systems as fast as we could . And parents , employers ,high school teachers began to push the youth to get an education . By 1970 , colleges and universities were spending more than 30 billion dollars yearly . But still only half of our high-school graduates were going on . Now the babies have graduated from college , the rate of growth of the student population has begun to increase . To keep their universities financially (财政地) supported many institutions have begun to attract students by using whatever means they can . They help in the development of features (特色) they think students want: creative (有创造力的) programs , an environment helpful to meaningful personal relationships , and an education so free that it doesnt sound like college at all. 56.The reason for most U.S. college students to go to school is not that .Amothers want them to go Bcollege is a pleasant placeCthey want to continue their education Dits the only way to get financial support 57.According to this passage , most of the college students .Ado not like to study Blike to make friends at college Cfind their universities as fortable as their homes Dplain that a college is like a prison 58In order to get financial support , many institutions have begun to .Abuild universities bigger than before Bspend more than 30 billion dollars yearly Cmake every effort to increase the student population Doffer their students a large number of practical courses 59The best title for this passage might be .ACrisis （危机）of US Universities BU.S .Students Today CWhy Do They Go to College ? DHigher Education in the United States B Through a series of experiments an American scientist has gained an understanding of the social structure of the most plex of ant societies. The ants examined are the only creatures other than man to have given up hunting and collecting for a pletely agricultural way of life. In their underground nests they plant gardens on soils made from finely cut leaves. This is a plex operation requiring considerable division of labor. The workers of this type of ant can be divided into four groups according to size. Each of the groups performs a particular set of jobs. The making and care of the gardens and the nursing of the young ants are done by the smallest workers. Slightly larger workers are responsible for cutting leaves to make them suitable for use in the gardens and for cleaning the nest. A third group of still larger ants do the construction work and collect fresh leaves from outside the nest. The largest are soldier ants, responsible for defending the nest. To find out how good the various size - groups are at different tasks, the scientist measured the amount of work done by the ants against the amount of energy they used. He examined first the gathering and carrying of leaves. He selected one of the size groups, and then measured how efficiently these ants could find leaves and run back to the nest. Then he repeated the experiment for each of the other size groups. In this way he could see whether any group could do the job more efficiently than the group normally undertaking it.The intermediate-sized (中等的) ants that normally perform this task proved to be the most efficient for their energy costs, but when the scientist examined the whole set of jobs performed by each group of ants, it appeared that some sizes of worker ants were not suited to the particular jobs they performed .60.According to the passage, the ants_.A. grow something in their nests B. go hunting for a living C. cut leaves to make a fire D. do each of the jobs all together61.It is observed that slightly larger ants perform more of the_.A. construction tasks B. defensive workC. household tasks D. dangerous work62.The underlined word good means _.A. co-operating B. efficient C. hardworking D. responsible63.The experiments made by the scientist were based on _.A. special methods B. scientific theoriesC. personal interests D. systematic observations CVisit Nashville, Tennessee, the capital of country music and the home of the Grand Ole Opry.

In a recent Hollywood edy, that is exactly what happens.Dave Kovic, played by Kevin Kline, is a kind-hearted man who runs a business that finds people jobs. He leads a typical（典型的） American way of life, except for one thing-he looks exactly like the President, Bill Mitchell. In fact, the only thing that makes him different from the nations leader is that he is very nice!The President has started using look-alikes during some public appearances. Dave is offered a chance to “serve his country” by being one. However, things go wrong. The President bees very ill and Dave ends up acting as the President forever.Director Ivan Reitman, who made the popular and successful edies like Twins, Ghostbusters and Legal Eagles, could have gone for easy laughs by making fun of the American government. Instead, Dave is an attractive edy about an ordinary man in extraordinary situations. Kevin Kline gives a double performance as Dave and the President, and Sigourney Weaver is at her best as his First Lady. The love story that develops between her role and Dave is a real classic（经典）.The film is 100% American. However, if youve ever felt that anybody could do a better job running the country than the people in power, then youll enjoy Dave!68What is the purpose of the text?ATo tell the reader about the American government.BTo discuss the Americans ideas about the President.CTo make a parison between Dave and other films.DTo introduce a new film to the reader.69Who plays the role of the President in the film?ASigourney Weaver BKevin KlineCBill MitchellDIvan Reitman70The underlined word “one” in the 3rd paragraph refers to .Athe PresidentBthe directorCan actorDa look-alike71Which of the following is best supported by the text?AThe author makes fun of the President.BThe author thinks highly of the film.CThe author is a fan of Hollywood edies.DThe author wishes to bee the American President. E United Nations officials warn that many animals important to agriculture are disappearing forever. The UN Environment Program and Food and Agriculture Organization released a report with the new findings. The findings are based on the information collected in one hundred and seventy nations during the past ten years. F-A-O officials say the world has lost about one thousand kinds of farm animals in the past one hundred years. The officials say many other breeds are still in danger. They warn that one-third of them are at risk of disappearing. About two thousand million people depend at least partly on farm animals to earn money. That is one-third of the worlds population. They warn that meat, milk and egg production will need to increase by more than twice during the next twenty years. F-A-O officials have gathered information about more than four thousand kinds of birds and animals. Seven hundred and forty of those breeds no longer exist. More than one thousand three hundred others are said to be endangered or at high risk of extinction. Many of them are very important farm animals. For example, in Madagascar, Renitelo cattle have almost disappeared. In the Philippines, the Banana chicken is now rare. Fewer than one thousand of the birds remain. In Mexico, the Chiapas sheep are at risk of disappearing. The report warns that more than two thousand other breeds could disappear within the next twenty years unless action is taken. It says the greatest threat is the export of animals from industrial nations to developing countries. It says this can lead to replacement of some native animals. The report says animals from industrial nations are often considered more productive in developing countries. However, it says these animals are best for the environment of the areas they e from. It says they may have a difficult time surviving under extreme conditions. The F-A-O says having different breeds of animals is a way to protect against loss of animals from severe weather conditions on the spread of disease. The UN agency is starting a five-year project to help countries better understand the issue.72. The Banana chicken may be _.A. kept in the wild B. raised on farmsC. eaten up D. no longer existed73. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Farm animals can not easily get used to the environment of the areas as they are exported to.B. Around another one-third kinds of animals will die out in twenty years.C. The F-A-O has collected information about wild animals from 170 countries.D. Over one-third of the populations ine partly depends on their farm animals.74. Farm animals are exported from developed countries to developing countries because _.A. the animals are more deliciousB. the developing countries are unable to raise animalsC. the exported countries grow up more quickly or are cheaperD. some native animals can suffer from diseases more easily75. Which of the following groups is a pair of antonyms(反义词)?A. ex
