But most experts agree that some research activity is _24_ to keep the staff and their students in _25_ with the latest developments in their subjects.Most students attend a university mainly to _26_ the knowledge needed for their chosen profession. Educationists believe that this aim should not be the only one. Universities have always aimed to produce men and women with judgment and wisdom as well as knowledge. For this reason, they _27_ students to meet others with differing _28_ and to read widely to increase their understanding in many fields of study. Upon a secondary school course, a student should be interested enough in a subject to enjoy gaining knowledge for its own _29_.

I had been abroad a couple of times, _32_I could hardly claim to know my way around the continent. _ 33 _, my knowledge of foreign languages was limited to a little college French.I hesitated. _34_would I, unable to speak the language, totally unfamiliar _35_ local geography or transportation systems, set up interviews and do research? It seemed impossible, and with considerable regret, I sat down to write a letter _36_ (beg) to be released from the assignment. Halfway through, a thought ran through my mind: you cant learn if you dont try. So I accepted the assignment.There were some bad moments. But by the time I finished the trip I was _37_ experienced traveler. And ever since, I have never hesitated to head for even the most remote of places，without guides or even _38_ (advance) bookings，confident that somehow I will manage. The point is that the new, the different, is almost by definition scary. But each time you try something，you learn，and _39_the learning piles up，the world opens to you.Ive learned to ski at 40, and flown up the Rhine River in a balloon. And I know Ill go on doing such things. Its not because Im braver or more daring than others. Im not. But Ill accept _40_(anxious) as another name for challenge and I believe I can accomplish wonders.阅读(共两节，满分40分)第节 阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分) （A）I came to study in the United States a year ago. Yet I did not know the real American society until I was injured in a car accident because after the accident I had to see a doctor and go to court. After the accident, my roommate called a doctor for me. I was very grateful and determined to repay him one day. But the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done. I was astonished. He had good reason to charge me, he said. And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury, Id have to have a good lawyer. And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer .Now that he had helped me find a good doctor, it was only fair that I should pay him .But every time I went to see the doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or three patients at the same time, and often stop treating one so as to see another. Yet he charged me $115 each time. The final examination report consisted of ten lines, and it cost me $215. My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met. But after that he avoided seeing me at all. He knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly did anything. He simply waited to collect his money. He was so irresponsible that I decided to dismiss him. And he made me pay him $770.Now I had to act as my own lawyer. Due to my inexperience, I told the insurance company the date I was leaving America. Knowing that ,they played for time, and I left without getting a cent. My experiences taught me two things about America: firstly, in a country like America money is everything. It is more important than friendship, honor or professional morality. Secondly, foreigners are still being unfairly treated. So when we talk about America, we should see both its good and bad sides.41. The authors roommate offered to help him because _.

B In 1605 some Englishmen planned to kill their king, James I, because they thought he was a bad man. They knew that on November 5th the king would go to the House of Lords to talk with his nobles.The men rented a building next to the House of Lords. They dug through a wall and put many barrels of gunpowder in a cellar of the House of Lords. They chose a man called Guy Fawkes to set fires to the gunpowder but something went wrong with their plan. One of the men had a relative who was coming to the House of Lords to meet the King. He warned his relative to stay at home .The relative spoke to other nobles and soon the King heard about the danger. Soldiers searched the cellars and found the gunpowder on November 4th, Guy Fawkes was caught and killed.Every year, on November 5th , English children remember Guy Fawkes . They collect old boxes, newspapers and rubbish so that they can make a big fire, which they call a bonfire. They put a pole in the middle of the fire and tie a “guy” to it . “The guy” is the figure of Guy Fawkes and is made of old clothes and paper . Sometimes they push their “guy” round the streets in a cart and ask for money so that they can buy fireworks.In the evening they light the bonfire and let off many fireworks: crackers, rockets , bangers and many other kinds .November 5th is an exciting day for children in England.

Who would watch you without your permission? It might be a spouse, a girl friend, a marketing company, a boss, a cop or a criminal. Whoever it is, they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen - the 21st century replacement of being caught naked.Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy, that its important to reveal yourself to friends, family and lovers in stages, at appropriate times. But few boundaries remain. The digital bread crumbs(碎屑) you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are, where you are and what you like. In some cases, a simple Google search can reveal what you think. Like it or not, increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret.The key question is: Does that matter?For many Americans, the answer apparently is no.When opinion polls ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it. A survey found a strong bad feeling about privacy, with 60 percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is slipping away, and that bothers me.But people say one thing and do another. Only a tiny part of Americans change any behaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths(收费站) to avoid using the EZ-Pass system that can track automobile movements. And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards. Privacy economist Alessandro Acquisti has run a series oftests that reveal people will give away personal information like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cents-off coupon(优惠卷)。But privacy does matter - at least sometimes. Its like health: When you have it, you dont notice it. Only when its gone do you wish youd done more to protect it.51. What does the author mean by saying the 21st century replacement of being caught naked?A) Peoples personal information is easily accessed without their knowledge.B) In the 21st century people try every means to look into others secrets.C) People tend to be more frank with each other in the information age.D) Criminals are easily caught on the spot with advanced technology.52.What would psychologists advise on the relationships between friends?A) Friends should open their hearts to each other.B) Friends should always be faithful to each other.C) There should be a distance even between friends.D) There should be fewer arguments between friends.53. Why does the author say we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret？ A) Modern society has finally developed into an open society.B) People leave traces around when using modern technology.C) There are always people who are curious about others affairs.D) Many search engines benefit from giving away peoples identities.54. What do most Americans do as for privacy protection?A) They change behaviors that might disclose their identity.B) They use various loyalty cards for business transactions(交易).C) They rely most and more on electronic devices.D) They talk a lot but hardly do anything about it.55. According to the passage, privacy is like health because _.A) people will make every effort to keep it. B) its importance is rarely understoodC) it is something that can easily be lost D) people dont treasure it until they lose it第二节 信息匹配(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)The people below are all looking for a hotel in Scotland for their holidays.
