　　Passage 1

　　Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:

　　Washington Irving was America' s first man of letters to be known internationally. His works were received enthusiastically both in England and in the United States. He was, in fact, one of the most successful writers of his time in the country, and at the same time winning the admiration of fellow writers like Scott in Britain and Poe and Hawthorne in the United States. ( 76 )The respect in which he was held partly owing to the man himself, with his warm friendliness, his good sense,his urbanity, his gay spirits, his artistic integrity, his love of both the Old World and the New.

　　Thackeray described Irving as "a gentleman, who, though himself born in no very high sphere,was most finished, polished, witty; socially the equal of the most refined Europeans. " ( 77 )In England he was granted an honorary degree from Oxford--an unusual honor for a citizen of a young, uncultured nation--and he received the medal of the Royal Society of Literature.America made him ambassador to Spain.

　　Irving' s background provides little to explain his literary achievements. A gifted but delicate child, he had little schooling. He studied law, but without zeal, and never did practice seriously.

　　Passage 2(成人高考更多完整資料免費提供加微信/QQ：29838818)

　　Questions 6 to l0 are based on the following passage:

　　Traditionally, universities have carried out two main activities: research and teaching. Many experts would argue that both these activities play a critical role in serving the community. The fun-damental question, however, is how does the community want or need to be served?

　　In recent years universities have been coming under increasing pressure from both the govern-ments and the public to ensure that they do not remain "ivory towers (象牙塔)" of study separated from the realities of everyday life. University teachers have been encouraged, and in some cases constrained (強迫), to provide more courses which produce graduates with the technical skills re-quired for the commercial use. (78)If Aristotle wanted to work in a university/in the UK today, he would have a good chance of teaching computer science but would not be so readily employable as

　　a philosopher.

　　A post-industrial society requires large numbers of computer programmers, engineers, manag-ers and technicians to maintain and develop its economic growth but "man", as the Bible says,“does not live by bread alone. " (79)Apart from requiring medical and social services, which do not directly contribute to economic growth, the society should also value and enjoy literature, mu-sic and the arts.Because they can also promote economic growth. A successful musical play, for instance, can contribute as much to the Gross National Product through tourist dollars as any other

　　things.

　　6. The main idea of the first paragraph is that__________.

　　A. traditional universities do a good job serving the society

　　B. universities must meet the needs of the society

　　C. research and teaching are of great importance in universities

　　A. the society is not satisfied with the present college education

　　B. the governments interfere too much with college education

　　C. teacher are forced to do what they don' t like to do

　　A. universities in the UK have produced too much good for graduates

　　B. such abstract subjects as philosophy is no longer useful

　　C. education should serve the social needs

　　D. it is advisable for today' s philosophers to know computer science

　　9. According to the passage, literature, music and the arts__________.

　　A. do not contribute to economic growth at all

　　B. are less useful to the society because they do not make direct contribution to economic growth

　　C. are similar to medical and social services in their way of promoting economic growth

　　D. should develop only when they are good for economic growth

　　Passage 3
