Since many of you are planning to study at a college or university in this country, you may be curious to know what you usually do in a typical week, how you can get along with your fellow students, and so on. These are the questions I want to discuss with you today.
First, let's talk about what your weekly schedule will look like. No matter what your major may be, you can expect to spend between four and six hours a week for each class attending lectures. Lectures are usually in very large rooms because some courses such as introduction to sociology or economics often have as many as two or three hundred students, especially at large universities. In lectures, it's very important for you to take notes on what the professor says, because the information in a lecture is often different from the information in your textbooks. Also, you can expect to have exam questions based on the lectures. So it isn't enough to just read your textbooks; you have to attend lectures as well. In a typical week you will also have a couple of hours of discussion for every class you take. The discussion section is a small group meeting usually with fewer than thirty students where you can ask questions about the lectures, the reading, and the homework. In large universities, graduate students, called teaching assistants, usually direct discussion sections.
If your major is chemistry, or physics, or another science, you'll also have to spend several hours a week in the lab, or laboratory, doing experiments. This means that science majors spend more time in the classroom than non-science majors do. On the other hand, people who major in subjects like literature or history usually have to read and write more than science majors do.
(1)The main purpose of this text is ________.
[ ]
A.to help the students to learn about university life
B.to persuade the students to attend lectures
C.to encourage the students to take part in discussions
D.to advise the students to choose proper majors
(2)We can learn from the passage that university professors ________.
[ ]
A.spend about 5 hours on lectures each week
B.must join the students in the discussion sections
C.prefer to use textbooks in their lectures
D.require the students to read beyond the textbooks
(3)A discussion section does NOT include __________.
[ ]
A.working under the guidance of university professors
B.talking over what the students have read about the courses
C.discussing the problems related to the students' homework
D.raising questions about what a professor has said in a lecture
(4)According to the author, science majors __________.
[ ]
A.have to work harder than non-science majors
B.spend less time on their studies than non-science majors
C.consider experiments more important than discussions
D.read and write less than non-science majors
(1) 本题为推理判断题。作者在文章的第一段已明确告诉我们:既然你们正在计划上大学,那么,我们今天就来谈论一下在大学生活中你经常做的一些典型的事情。本篇文章的写作目的也就不言而喻了。(2) 本题为推理判断题。由第二段的内容可知,教授讲授的内容经常跟课本上的内容不同,因此学生们必须去听报告,仅仅看课本是不够的。由此可知,选项D是正确答案。(3) 本题为细节理解题。由文章第二段最后一句话可知答案A是错误的。我们从文中可知:“In large universities, graduate students, called teaching assistants, usually direct discussion sections.”由此可见,discussion section不是university professors指导的,而是teaching assistants指导的。(4) 本题为细节理解题。由文章最后一段最后一句话“... people who major in subjects like literature or history usually have to read and write more than science majors do.”可知,science majors阅读和写作少。 |
