IV. Reading Comprehension ( 60 points)

　　依照下面内容，回答题：
　　This was no ordinarv class. The students who came together were all science or engineering pro-fessors at Cornell University. They had interrupted their research to accept an invitation to take partin an unusual experiment:" an interesting week of poetry. "This class was part of a study to answerthe questionsWhy is science difficult for many nonscience students? What can teachers learn aboutteaching if they take a class that is not in their field?

　　The students in the poetry class listened to lectures and took notes. They had reading tasks andhad to write three short papers. All students noticed one thing--the im.portance of spoken words. Inscience and engineering classes, the instructors put tables and drawings on the blackboard. But inthis poetry class, the instructors just talked. They didn't write anything on the board.

　　The scientists and engineers noticed one similarity between science and poetry. In both sub-jects, students need to find layers(层次) of meaning. Some layers are simple, clear, and on the sur-face;other layers are deeper and more difficult. This search for different levels of meaning doesn'thappen much in undergraduate(本科) science classes, but it is important later, in graduate school.And it is always important in humanities(人文学科).

　　Both the poetry instructors and their students learned something about teaching from this experi-ence. One poetry instructor, for example, now sees the importance of using careful, clear definitions(定义)when he explains a poem He also plans to be more informative as he teaches. Most of thescientists agreed on several points. First, humanities classes might help science students to see patternsand decide which information is important.. Second, the poetry class was fun. One engineer decided,"We need to change the way we teach engineering to make it an enjoyable experience for students. "But perhaps the most important result of the experience was this : All of the professors began tothink about how they teach and how they can teach better.

36、What do we know about this unusual class?

C.common for undergraduate students in science
D.easy for undergraduate students in science
　　参考答案：A

依照下面内容，回答题：
　　Banks are not ordinarily prepared to pay out all accounts; they rely on depositors( 剪刀 )not todemand payment all at the same time. If depositors should come to fear that a bank is not safe, that itcannot pay off all its depositors, then that fear might cause all the depositors to appear on the sameday. If they did, the bank could not pay all accounts. However, if they did not all appear at once, thenthere would always be enough money to pay those who wanted their money when they wanted it. Mrs.Elsie Vaught has told us of a terrifying bank run that she experienced. One day in December of 1925several banks failed to open in a city where Mrs. Vaught lived. The other banks expected a run thenext day, and so the officers of the bank in which Mrs. Vanght worked as a teller had enough moneyon hand to pay off their depositors. The officers simply told the tellers to pay on demand. The nextmorning a crowd gathered in the bank and on the sidewalk outside. The length of the line made manythink that the bank cohld not possibly pay off everyone. People began to push and then to fight for places near the tellers' windows. The power of the panic atmosphere was such that two tellers, thoughthey knew that the bank was quite all right and could pay all depositors, drew their own money fromthe bank. Mrs. Vaught says that she had difficulty keeping herself from doing the same.

41、The main cause of a bank run is__________ .

B.lack of money
C.crowds of people
D.inexperienced tellers
　　参考答案：B
　　参考解析：本题题干是问“发生银行挤兑主要原因”就是许多人都认为银行拿不出钱来，即资金缺乏。

B.She feared that too many depositors drawing their money would close the bank.
C.She was not able to draw out her money.
D.She was tempted to draw out her money.
　　参考答案：D
　　参考解析：文章最终一句话告诉我们，“Mrs.Vaught以为极难控制自己不去将自己钱取出来”，因为当初气氛非常恐慌，所以D项正确。

43、According to the passage, the actions of the depositors of Mrs. Vaught's bank were affect-ed mainly by the __________ .
A.ease with which they could get their money
B.confidence that Mrs. Vaught showed
C.failure of several other banks to open
