The 18professor is not necessarily a poor one and is still 19by students. Although students may be in a subordinate position, some professors treat them as 20. However, no matter how friendly professors would like to be, they still are in a position of authority.Professors may establish social relationships with students outside of the classroom, but in the classroom they keep the 21 role. A professor may have coffee one day with students but the next day expect them to meet a deadline for the submission of a paper or to be 22for a discussion or an exam. The professor may give extra 23outside of class to a student in need of help but probably will not treat him or her differently when it comes to 24school work. Professors have several roles in relation to students; they may be counselors and friends as well as teachers.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.No one should be forced to wear a uniform under any circumstance. Uniforms are demeaning to the human spirit and totally unnecessary in a democratic society. Uniforms tell the world that the person who wears one has no value as an individual but only lives to function as a part of the whole. The individual in a uniform loses all self-worth. There are those who say that wearing a uniform gives a person a sense of identification with a large, more important concept. What could be more important than the individual oneself? If an organization is so weak that it must rely on cloth and buttons to inspire its members, that organization has no right to continue its existence. Others say that the practice of making persons wear uniforms, say in school, eliminates all envy and competition in a matter of dress. For instance, a poor person who cannot afford good-quality clothing, why would anyone strive to be better? It is only a short step from forcing everyone to wear the same clothing to forcing everyone to drive the same car, have the same type of house, and eat the same type of food. When this happens, all incentive (动机) to improve ones life is removed. Why would parents bother to work hard so that their children could have a better life than they had when they know that their children are going to be forced to have exactly the same life that they had? Uniforms also hurt the economy. Right now, billions of dollars are spent on the fashion industry yearly. Thousands of persons are employed in designing, creating, and marketing different types of clothing. If everyone were forced to wear uniforms, artistic personnel would be unnecessary. Salespersons would be superfluous (多余的) as well: why bother to sell the only items that are available? The wearing of uniforms would destroy the fashion industry which in turn would have a ripple effect on such industries as advertising and promotion. Without advertising, newspapers, magazines, and television would not be able to remain in business. Our entire information and entertainment industries would founder. 46.The authors viewpoint on uniforms can best be described as _. A. practicalB. hysterical C. radical D. sensible 47.Judged from its style, this passage might be found in _. A. a childrens comic book B. an editorial in a paper C. a history textbook D. a religious speech 48.It can be inferred that the author believes that _. A. individuals have no self-worth when they become part of an organization B. individuals are more important than organizations C. individuals are not so important as organizations D. individuals are just as important as organizations 49.By using the example of a parent striving to make life better for his children, the author tries to make the point that _. A. parents have responsibilities for their children B. uniforms would be less expensive than clothing for children C. uniforms cause conflicts between parents and children D. individual motivation could be destroyed by uniforms 50.The last word of the passage “founder” probably means _. A. collapse B. shrink C. prosper D. establishPassage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.It has been a widespread belief that the American family is dying. But a new study reveals that the American family is stronger than ever. This study affords surprising evidence of the persistence of American commitments to family life. The American family is changing, not dying. It is becoming smaller, men and women are becoming more equal, and the divorce rate is higher. But despite the high divorce rate, marriage has never been more popular. The majority of divorced people remarry, but only 2% marry more than twice. Most marriages last a long time, and a large proportion of divorces are from teenage marriages. Depending on the specific situation, theres often good reason for teenage marriages to break up. There is no evidence that children receive less attention from mothers who work outside the home than from mothers working inside the home. So far the amount of educational or development time hasnt varied very much, whether or not the mother works outside the home. In fact, working mothers try to make up for it by setting aside time only for their children. The study shows that television is by far the most significant new childcare arrangement of this century. The most important activity for children up to age 14 is watching television. School is the second most time-consuming activity for children. They spend an average of about 19 hours a week in school. A larger proportion of children go to school now than ever before, and they stay in school longer. Another big change is that the proportion of very young children in daycare centers (日托站) has almost doubled in recent years. Compared with these two dramatic changes in child activity, the changes caused by mothers working outside the home appear very small.51. The main idea of this article is that _. A. the American family is dying B. young people today dont want to get married C. the American family is changing, but it is stronger than ever D. education has resulted in dramatic changes in the American family 52.Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. Marriage is more popular than before. B. Many divorced people remarry. C. The majority of marriages last long. D. Working mothers devote less time to their children. 53. The author of this article believes that _. A. the American family is here to stay B. children should not watch so much television C. mothers should not work when their children are small D. teenage marriages should be encouraged 54. What is the most significant new childcare arrangement of this century?A. The daycare center.B. Television. C. The school. D. Development time. 55. According to the writer, which two major factors have led to the belief that the American family is dying? A. The divorce rate is high and working mothers neglect their children. B. The divorce rate is high and children care more about television than anything else. C. Divorces are increasing and many teenage marriages break up. D. Children stay in school longer and mothers have little time to take care of them.Passage ThreeQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.Increasingly, U.S. companies are becoming relation-focused. We seek to be customer-driven. We want to partner with suppliers. We are moving from a manufacturing economy to a value-added, service-oriented economy. And at the heart of the service are relationships: interpersonal relations, inter-group relationships, and interdepartmental relationships.In fact, emphasis on teamwork has long become the most frequently valued managerial（管理方面的）competence in studies of organizations around the world. About half the Fortune 500 companies say they are using self-managed work teams and expect to expand their use in coming years.Teamwork, for many of us, is a big switch from how we are accustomed to functioning. And thats especially true for those of you at the beginning of your careers. Some people never get out of the individual contributor mode because they have limited expertise（知识技能）with the interpersonal skills required for team building. But the highly effective people of success are those who move from child-like dependence to independence, and then on interdependence.Teamwork really builds. If there is no trust and honesty among employees and everyone is maneuvering based on what it might do for their own careers, they are not going to accomplish much. An old Oriental proverb that “people with one mind will move Mount Tai” is true. Another way is to consider this: individuals add; team players multiply. Of course, as the whole is never the sum of the parts, it may be greater or lesser, depending on how well the individuals work together.A good team leader is one who can create group synergy (协同，配合) in order to pursue collective goals. If you are going to be a good boss, make sure that you support people around you and keep the group working well. Thats an important lesson I learned from one of my former chief executive officers (CEO), who held me accountable for my beliefsin fact, there are times he held my feet to the firebut he never held a grudge against me for believing in something different from him.56. The main idea of the passage is _.A. that customer-driven service is increasingly popularB. the importance of good teamworkC. that a company should partner with suppliersD. that U.S. companies are becoming relationship-focused
