Ⅲ. ReadingComprehension从下列每篇短文的问题后所给的四个选择项中选出一个最佳答案。Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Many teachers believe that the responsibility for learning lies with the students. If a long reading assignment is given，instructors 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 student is considered to be one who is motivated to learn for the sake of learning，not the one interested only in getting high grades. Grade-conscious students may be frustrated with teachers who do not believe it is necessary to grade every assignment. Sometimes homework is returned with brief 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 expects the student to take the initiative and to complete the assignment with minimal guidance. It is the student's responsibility to find books，periodicals，and articles in the library. Professors do not have the time to explain how a university library works，they expect students，particularly graduate students，to be able to exhaust the reference sources in the library.Professors will help students who need it，but prefer that their students not be overly dependent on them. (This differs from teacher-student relationships in other countries. )In the United States，professors have other duties besides teaching. Often they are responsible for administrative work within their departments. In addition，they may be obliged 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 a professor during office hours or make an appointment.“Courses are not designed merely for students to pass exams. ”This means teachers______.A. want students to fail examsB. care only about exam gradesC. believe that passing exams is not the only purpose of a courseD. design courses for lectures only
In some countries of Asia or the Middle East, like Iran, students take an exit exam in their last year of high school. The people with the highest scores attend the best universities in the country.()
Various means have been taken to check students’ learning. They are().A、quizzesB、duelC、testsD、exams
The students expected there ________ more reviewing classes before the final exam.[A] is[B] being[C] have been[D] to be
请阅读Passage2，完成第小题。Passage 2Results showed that at least a tenth of the Harvard first-year undergraduates polled admitted to having cheated on an exam prior to starting at the university, while almost half admitted to cheating on their homework. An anonymous survey by Harvard's newspaper has revealed a surprising pattern of academic dishonesty among students entering the US universities.The survey by The Harvard Crimson was emailed to the incoming first year undergraduates;1,600 students responded. Results showed that at least a tenth of the students polled admitted to having cheated on an exam prior to starting at the university, while almost half admitted to cheating on their homework.Athletes were apparently the most prone to cheating. 20 percent of students who played a university sport admitted to cheating on an exam compared to 9 percent of students who did not.The survey also revealed that men were not only more likely to cheat but were also more likely to admit to it.The results, compared to a previous survey done on the class of 2013, suggested that cheating may be becoming more commonplace. Of the outgoing seniors only 7 percent admitted to cheating in an exam and another 7 percent said they had been dishonest on a take-home test. 32 percent of the seniors said they had cheated on homework during their undergraduate years..The surveys come in the wake of a cheating scandal at the university which saw 120 students investigated for sharing answers on an exam in 2012. One recent graduate stated: "Cheating was commonplace when I was at Harvard, especially with students in their first year or two. I would say as many as 60 per cent of students took notes into some exams. No one really cared the faculty,well some of them at least, seemed to recognize and yet ignore the problem."In an email to NBC News, Jeff Neal, a Harvard representative, explained that a committee,made up of faculty, staff and students had been established to tackle cheating, which "is a national problem in American education".He added: "While the vast majority of Harvard and other students do their work honestly,beginning this year Harvard College has implemented a new, more robust strategy of communicating with all students, particularly first-year students, about the importance--and the ways to achieve--academic integrity."In a rebuff to critics who say university has become little more than an expensive party, 84 per cent of the responding undergraduates fully expected to prioritize their academics over extracurricular activities, sport, employment and their social lives. Not a single student put academics at the bottom of their list. Not content with confining themselves to their degree subject,59 percent of incoming students expressed a desire to pursue a secondary field of study, and 36percent hoped to learn a language.What is the tone of the author according to the passage?查看材料A．Subjective.B．Exaggerated.C．Sarcastic.D．Objective.
