PartⅡ Reading Comprehension（40%）
Passage 1
Many teachers believe that the responsibility（责任）for learning lies with the students. If a long reading assignment（布置的作业）is given, teachers expect students to be familiar with the information in the reading even if they do not discuss it in class or give an examination. (Courses are not designed merely for students to pass exams). The ideal（完美的）student is considered to be one who is motivated（目的明确的）to learn for the sake（原故）of learning, not the one interested only in getting high grades（分数）. Grade-conscious（清醒的）students may be frustrated（受挫）with teachers who do not believe it is necessary to grade（分等级）every assignment. Sometimes homework is returned with brief (short) written comments but without a grade. Even if a grade is not given, the student is responsible for learning the material assigned.
When research is assigned, the professor in the United States expects the students to take the initiative （积极性）and complete the assignment with less guidance. It is the student's responsibility to find books,magazines, and articles in the library. Professors do not have the time to explain how a univesity library works,they expect students, particularly graduate students, to be able to use all the reference sources（资料）in the library.
Professors will help students who need it, but prefer that their students not be over dependent on them.In the United States, professors have other duties be sides teaching. Often they are responsible for management within their department. In addition（此外）, they may be required to publish articles and books. Therefore the time that a professor can spend with a student outside of class is limited. If a student has problems with classroom work, the student should either approach（接近）a professor during office hours or make an appointment（约会）.
36．“Courses are not designed merely for students to pass exams.”This means“____.”

Passage2
I began working in journalism(新闻工作)when I was eight. It was my mother’s idea. She wanted me to “make something” of myself, and decided I had better start young if I was to have any chance of keeping up with the competition.
With my load of magazines I headed toward Belleville Avenue. The crowds were there. There were two gas stations on the corner of Belleville and Union. For several hours I made myself highly visible, making sure everyone could see me and the heavy black letters on the bag that said THE SATURDAY EVENING POST. When it was suppertime, I walked back home.
“ How many did you sell, my boy?” my mother asked.
“ None.”
“ Where did you go?”
“ The corner of Belleville and Union Avenues.”
“ What did you do?”
“ Stood on the corner waiting for somebody to buy a Saturday Evening Post.”
“ You just stood there?”
“ Didn’t sell a single one.”
“ My God, Russell!”
Uncle Allen put in, “ Well, I’ve decided to take the Post.” I handed him a copy and he paid me a nickle(五分镍币). It was the first nickle I earned.
Afterwards my mother taught me how to be a salesman. I would have to ring doorbells, address adults with self-confidence(自信), and persuade them by saying that no one, no matter how poor, could afford to be without the Saturday Evening Post in the home.
One day, I told my mother I’d changed my mind. I didn’t want to make a success in the magazine business.
“ If you think you can change your mind like this,” she replied, “ you’ll become a good-for-nothing.” She insisted that, as soon as school was over, I should start ringing doorbells, selling magazines. Whenever I said no, she would scold me.
My mother and I had fought this battle almost as long as I could remember. My mother, dissatisfied with my father’s plain workman’s life, determined that I would not grow up like him and his people. But never did she expect that, forty years later, such a successful journalist as me would go back to her husband’s people for true life and love.

Passage4
The year was 1932. Amelia Earhart was flying alone from North America to England in a small single—engined aeroplane.
