The college operates on a quarter system, with three 11-week terms in the regular academic year(学年).

Classes meet on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays for one hour total time scheduled for laboratories. Courses for less than five-quarter hours meet for fewer hours per week.
Scheduled physical education activities and fine arts participation activities meet for one hour twice weekly or the equivalent time once a week.

Within fifteen years Britain and other nations should be well on with the building of huge industrial complexes(集合体) for the recycling of waste. The word rubbish could lose its meaning because everything which goes into the dumps would be made into something useful. Even the most dangerous and unpleasant waste would provide energy if nothing else.
The latest project is to take a city of around half a million inhabitants and discover exactly what raw materials go into it and what go out. The aim is to find out how much of these raw materials could be provided if a plant for recycling waste were built just outside the city. This plant would recycle not only mental such as steel, lead and copper, but also paper and rubber as well.
Another new project is being set up to discover the best ways of sorting and separating the rubbish. When this project is complete, the rubbish will be processed like this: first, it will pass through sharp mental bars which will tear open the plastic bags in which rubbish is usually packed; then it will pass through a powerful fan to separate the lightest elements from the heavy solid; after that founders and rollers will break up everything that can be broken. Finally, the rubbish will pass under magnets, which will remove the bits of iron and steel; the rubber and plastic will then be sorted out in the final stage.
The first full-scale(全面旳)giant recycling plants are perhaps fifteen years away. Indeed, with the growing cost of transporting rubbish to move distant dumps, some big cities will be forced to build their own recycling plants before long.

36.The phrase “should be well on with” (Para.1) most probably means______.
A. get ready to start
B. have achieved a great deal in
C. have completed what was started
D. put an end to
37. What is NOT mentioned as a part of the recycling process described in Para. 3?

A. Sharpening mental bars
B. Breaking up whatever is breakable
C. Sorting out small pieces of mental
D. Separating light elements from the heavy ones
38. What is the main reason for big cities to build their own recycling plants?
A. To deal with wastes in a better way
B. To get raw materials locally
C. To get big profits from those plants
D. To protect the environment from pollution
39. The first full-scale huge recycling plants______.
A. will probably be in operation in fifteen years
B. will probably take less than fifteen years to build
C. began to operate fifteen years ago
D. will be built fifteen years later
40. The passage is mainly about______.
A. the location of recycling plants
B. new ways of recycling wastes
C. a cheap way to get energy
D. the probability of city environment

III
Play is the principal business of childhood, and in recent years research has shown the great importance of play in the development of a human being. From earliest infancy, every child needs opportunity and the right materials for play, and the main tools of play are toys. Their main function is to suggest, encourage and assist play. To succeed in this they must be good toys, which children will play with often and will come back to again and again. Therefore it is important to choose suitable toys for different stages of a child’s development.
In recent years research on infant development has shown that the standard a child is likely to reach, within the range of his inherited(继承旳) abilities, is largely determined in the first three years of his life. So a baby’s ability to profit from the right play materials should not be underestimated. A baby who is encouraged and stimulated (刺激), talked to and shown things and played with, has the best chance of growing up successfully.
In the next stage, from three to five years old, curiosity knows no bounds. Every type of suitable toy should be made available to the child, for trying out, experimenting and learning, for discovering his own particular ability. Bricks and jigsaws(七巧板)and construction toys; painting, scribbling(涂鸦) find making things sand and water play; toys for imaginative and pretending play; the first social games for learning to play and get on with others.
By the third stage of play development—from five to seven or eight years—the child is at school. But for a few more years play is still the best way of learning, at home or at school. It is easier to see which type of toys the child most enjoys.
Until the age of seven or eight, play and work mean much the same to a child. But once reading has been mastered, then books and school become the main source of learning. Toys are still interesting and valuable, they lead on to new hobbies, but their significance has changed—to a child of nine or ten years, toys and games mean, as to adults, relaxation and fun.

41. The passage tells us that as a child grows up, _______.
A. he should be allowed to choose his own toys
B. he should be given identical (同样旳) toys
C. he should be given different toys
D. he should be given fewer and fewer toys
42. According to the passage, the abilities a child has inherited from his parents______.
A. determine his character
B. will not change after the age of three
C. partly determine the standard he is likely to reach
D. to a large extent determine the choice of toys
43. Who have the best chance of growing up successfully?
A. Those who tend to overeat
B. Those who are given a lot of toys
C. Those who are given toys, talked to and played with
D. Those who can share their toys with their playmates
44. We learn from the passage that a child has boundless curiosity(好奇心)______.
A. when he is two B. when he is around four
C. when he is six D. when he is eight

IV
When television was first introduced into American society thirty years ago, writers and social scientists thought that this new invention would better American life. Television is going to bring American families closer together, predicted psychologist Joel Gold in 1949. Pictures which advertised television in the 1950s invariably showed a happy family gathered together in the living room, sharing the TV viewing experience. Who could have guessed that a quarter of a century later Mother would be in the kitchen watching a daytime drama, Dad would be in the living room watching a ball game, and the children would be watching cartoons in their bedroom?
Television has certainly changed American life, but not the way the first critics predicted. The first televisions were enormously expensive, so most families owned only one. By 1975, however, 60% of American families owned two televisions or more; some middle class families had as many as five television sets under one roof. Such multi-set families may keep family members in the same house, but that hardly brings them together. In fact, family outings — hiking, going to the movies, going out to dinner — are often limited by TV because one or more family members don’t want to go: “I’ll miss my program.” is the common complaint.
Perhaps more important than the lack of family outings is the destruction of family time together at home. Social scientists
