Each passage is followed by some questions or incompletestatements. For each of them there are four choices marked A. B. C and D. You should decide on the best choice andthen mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET.Passage OneParticipation in classroom is not only accepted but also expected of the students in many courses. Some professorsbase part of the final grade on the students oral participation.Although there are formal lectures during which thestudent has a passive role (i. e. listening and taking notes), many courses are organized around classroom discussions,student questions, and informal lectures. In graduate seminars the professor has a managerial role and the studentsmake presentations and lead discussions. The students do the actual teaching in these seminars.Aprofessors teaching style is another factor that determines the degree and type of student participation. Someprofessors prefer to control discussion while others prefer to guide the class without dominating it. Many professorsencourage students to question and challenge their ideas; students who make assertions that contradict the professorspoint of view should be prepared to supply evidence to their positions.In the teaching of science and mathematics, the dominant mode of instruction is generally traditional, with teacherspresenting formal lectures and students taking notes. However, new educational trends have emerged in the humanities- 03 -and social sciences in the past two decades. Students in education, sociology, and psychology classes, for example, areoften required to solve problems in groups, design projects, make presentations, and examine case studies. Since somecollege or university courses are applied rather than theoretical, they stress doing and involvement.31.Participation in the classroom is not only accepted but also expected of the students in many courses exceptin.A. seminar coursesB. the humanities and social sciencesC. informal lecture coursesD. science and mathematics32.Education in the humanities and social sciences has.A. not changed muchB. changed from being theoretical to being appliedC. changed a littleD. become more theoretical than applied33.It can be inferred from the passage that.A. an active participant in a seminar is a good student.B. a student who can always take full notes is a good one.C. a student who can dominate the class is a good one.D. a student who keeps silent in the classroom is a good one.34.The reason why some professors ask students to make presentations and lead discussions is that.A. these professors are not willing to teach the theoryB. these professors are often not well prepared before classC. these professors want to stress “doing”D. these professors want to test the students abilities35.Which of the following is true?.A.Student participation is not common in the classroom in many courses like sociology.B.Some professors want to dominate the classroom discussion.C.Some professors usually want the students to participate in the teaching of science and Mathematics.D.New educational trends have emerged in the teaching of natural sciences such as chemistry.Passage TwoAblizzard is a severe weather condition characterized by low temperatures and strong winds greater than 35 milesper hour, bearing a great amount of snow.Because the factors for classifying winter storms are complex, there are many definitions of what a blizzard truly is.But it is generally agreed that in order to be classified as a blizzard, as opposed to merely a winter storm, the weathermust meet several conditions. The storm must decrease visibility to a quarter of a mile for three hours running, includesnow or ice asprecipitation(冰雹) and have wind speeds of at least 32 miles per hour, which means force seven or moreon the wind scale.Another standard, according to Environment Canada is that the winter storm must have winds of 40 kilometers perhour or more, plenty of snow, visibility less than one kilometer, a temperature of less than minus 25 degrees Celsius, andall of these conditions must last for four hours or more before the storm can properly be called a blizzard.When all of these conditions continue after snow has stopped falling, the storm is referred to as a ground blizzard.An extreme form of blizzard is a whiteout. when the downdrafts, together with snowfall, become so severe that it isimpossibleto distinguish the ground from the air. People caught in a whiteout can quickly become disoriented, losingtheir sense of up and down as well as their sense of direction. Severe blizzards can also occur along with arctic cyclones.36.Whats the passage mainly about?.A. The definitions of blizzards.B. The disasters caused by blizzards.C.
