Yale, Princeton, Columbia and Dartmouth were opened soon after Harvard.In the early years, these schools were much alike. Only young men went to colleges. All the students studied the same subject and everyone learned Latin, Greek and Hebrew. Little was known about science then and one kind of school could teach everything that was known about the world. When the students graduated, most of them become ministers or teachers.In 1782, Harvard started a medical school for young men who wanted to become doctors. Later, lawyers could receive their training in Harvards law school. In 1825 besides Latin and Greek, Harvard began teaching modern languages, such as French and German. Soon it began teaching American history.As knowledge increased, Harvard and other colleges began to teach many new subjects. Students were allowed to choose the subjects that interested them.Today there are many different kinds of colleges and universities. Most of them are made up of smaller schools that deal with special fields of learning. Theres so much to learn that one kind of school cant offer it all.21. From the second paragraph, we can see that in the early years, _.A. those colleges and universities were almost the sameB. people, young or old, might study in the collegesC. the students studied only some languages and scienceD. when the students finished their school, they became lawyers or teachers22. As knowledge increased, colleges began to teach_.A. everything that was known B. law and something about medicineC. many new subjects D. the subjects that interested students23. On the whole, the passage is about_.A. how to start a university B. the world-famous colleges in AmericaC. how colleges have changed D. what kind of lessons each college teachesBLast year, I lived in Chile for half a year. I lived with a Chilean family and had the responsibilities of any Chilean teenager. I had good days and bad days I didnt understand.Chuquicamata, my host community, is a mining camp. When I arrived there, I was scared. It was so different from what I was used to. There were lots of dogs on the streets, and there was no downtown, few smoothly paved streets, and little to do for entertainment. Rain was not seen very often, earthquakes and windstorms were frequent.I had studied Spanish for two and a half years and was always one of the best students in my class. But in my first week in Chile I was only able to communicate and needed one person to whom I could explain my shock. I couldnt speak the thoughts in my head and there were so many.Most exchange students experience this like me. Culture shock presents itself in everything from increased aggression towards the people to lack of appetite(食欲). I was required to overcome all difficulties.As time passed, everything changed. I began to forget the words in English and to dream in Spanish and love Chilean food. I got used to not depending on expensive things for fun. Fun in Chuquicamata was being with people. And I took math, physics, chemistry, biology, Spanish, art, and philosophy.But the sacrifices were nothing compared to the gain. I learned how to accept and to succeed in another culture. I now have a deeper understanding of both myself and others.24. The author came to Chile last year with the purpose of_. A. paying a visit to Chile as a tourist B. experiencing Chilean life as a teacherC. studying Chilean culture as a college student D. studying knowledge as an exchange student25. On arriving in Chile, why did the author feel frightened?A. Because he did not know how to get along with the local peopleB. Because it was full of dangers like earthquakes and windstormsC. Because the living conditions were worse than what he was used toD. Because it was not convenient for him to shop there26. In the first week in Chile, the author_.A. was not used to eating Chilean food B. had some friends to have a chat withC. couldnt communicate with people D. couldnt express his thoughts in English27. What did the author most probably think of his life in Chile?A. Wonderful and worthwhile B. Difficult but meaningfulC. Difficult and meaning D. Boring and disappointingCDoes any of these bad habits belong to you? Check yourself by answering “yes” or “no” to these questions.a) Do you move your lips when reading silently?b) Do you point to words with your fingers as you read?c) Do you move your head from side to side as you read?d) Do you read one word at a time? If you answer “yes” to any of these questions, start at once to break the habits. If you move your lips, hold your fingers over them, or hold a piece of paper between your lips while you are reading. Then when your lips move, you will know it and stop them. If you point to words, hold the two sides of your book, one side with your left hand, the other side with your right hand. Then you wont have a free finger to use in pointing while reading. If you move your head, place your chin in one hand, and hold your head still. If you read no more than one word at a time, you need to work in learning to take in more words at each glance as your eyes travel across the lines of words. Even if you read fairly fast now, you can learn to read even faster. As you probably have been told, the secret of fast reading is to take in whole groups of words at each glance. Read in several groups and force your eyes along the lines of words as fast as you can make them go. Anyone who practices doing these two things will be able to read faster. 28. What do you think of those habits talked about in the text?A. We should remember those habits. B. They are difficult to get rid of. C. They should be got rid of. D. They are good for our studies.29. You may hold your finger over your lips while reading so as to _.A. hold a piece of paper between your lips B. keep yourself from talking to othersC. feel whether your lips move or not D. tell others to be silent30. When your eyes travel across the lines of words, you need to _.A. read the words out B. read several words at a time C. look at every word carefully D. remember every word31. If you can read fairly fast now, _.A. you dont need to learn to read faster B. you can go on reading like thatC. you can enjoy reading D. you can learn to read even faster D Green is an important color in nature. It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees. It is also the color of most growing plants. Sometimes, the word “green” means young, fresh and growing. For example, a greenhorn is someone who has no experience. In the 15th century, a greenhorn was a young cow or an ox whose horns(角)had not yet developed. A century later, a greenhorn was a soldier who had no experience in war. By the 18th century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has todaya person who is new in a job. Someone who is good at growing plants is said to have a green thumb(大拇指). The expression comes from the early 20th century. A person with a green thumb can make plants grow quickly and well. The Green Revolution(绿色革命)is the name given some years ago to the development of new kinds of rice and other grains. It was the result of hard work by agricultural scientists who had green thumbs. Green is also the color used to describe the powerful feeling , jealousy(嫉妒). The green-eyed monster （怪物）is not a dangerous animal from outer space. It is an expression used about 400 years ago by the British writer William Shakespeare in his play “Othello”. It describes the unpleasant feeling when someone has something he wants. For example, a young man may suffer from the green-eyed monster if you get a pay rise and he does not. In most places in the world, a green light is a signal(信号)to move ahead. In everyday speech, a green light means approval(赞成)to continue with a project.32.
