（本大题共10小题，每小题2分，共20分）Passage 1It would be interesting to discover how many young people go to universities without any clear idea of what they are going to do afterwards. If one considers the enormous variety3of courses offered, it is not hard to see how difficult it is for a student to select the course most suited to his interests and abilities. If a student goes to a university to acquire a broader perspective of life, to enlarge his ideas and to learn to think for himself, he will undoubtedly benefit. Schools often have too restricting an atmosphere, with its timetable and disciplines, to allow him much time for independent assessment of the work he is asked to do. Most students would, I believe, profit by a year or so’ s exploration of different academic studies, especially those “ all-rounders ” with no particular interest. They should have a longer time to decide in what subject they want to take their degrees, so that in later life, they do not look back and say, “I should like to have been an archaeologist. If I hadn’t taken a degree in Modern Languages, I wouldn’t have ended up as an interpreter, but it’s too late now. I couldn’t go back and begin all over again.”There is, of course, another side to the question of how to make the best use of one’s time at a university. This is the case of the student who excels in a particular branch of learning. He is immediately accepted by the university of his choice, and spends his three or four years becoming a specialist, emerging with a first-class Honor Degree and very little knowledge of what the rest of the world is all about. It therefore becomes important that, if students are not to waste their opportunities, there will have to be much more detailed information about courses and more advice. Only in this way can we be sure that we are not to have, on the one hand, a band of specialists ignorant of anything outside of their own subject, and on the other hand, an ever-increasing number of graduates qualified in subjects for which there is little or no demand in the working world.21. The main idea of the first paragraph is that（）.A. a student should not select his speciality in a hurryB. “all-rounders” are the treasure of a universityC. every student should study for a degreeD. if a student is not satisfied with what he is studying, he can go back and begin all over4again22. The quotation at the end of the first paragraph means that （）.A. the student is happy with his work being an interpreterB. the student complains about being an interpreterC. the student is asking to start other coursesD. it is too late for the student to become an interpreter23. Based on the second paragraph, which of the following statements is TRUE? （）A. A student should not be limited to book knowledge only.B. Every student should strive for a first-class Honor Degree.C. Many specialists are ignorant of what is going on around them.D. The working world rejects unqualified specialists.24. The main idea of the passage probably is that （）.A. if a student goes to a university to acquire a broader perspective of life, he will undoubtedly benefitB. only in this way can we be sure that we are not to have a band of specialists ignorant of anything outside.C. it would be interesting to discover how many young people go to universities without any clear idea of what they are going to do in the futureD. college students should realize the importance of having much more detailed information and more advice without wasting their opportunities25. The word “all-rounders” in the first paragraph probably means a person who （）.A. is good at all subjectsB. is not sure of whatever he is doingC. takes no interest in doing anythingD. does not know how to make best use of his timePassage 25One day Mr. Kerry was walking along the Strand in London, killing time, when his eye was caught by a huge picture displayed upon the wall of a house. It represented a human figure covered with long, dark hair, with huge nails upon his hands and a most fearful expression. On coming nearer, he heard a man call out “Walk in, ladies and gentlemen, the most wonderful curiosity ever exhibited—only five pence—the wild man from Africa—he eats raw food, and many other pleasing and surprising performances. ” Mr. Kerry paid his money and was admitted. At first the crowd prevent him seeing anything, for the place was full to suffocation (窒息), and the noise awful. At last Mr. Kerry obtained a place in the front, and to his horror, he saw a figure that was far worse than the portrait outside.It was a man, nearly naked, covered with long, shaggy hair that grew even over his nose and cheekbones. He sprang about, sometimes on his feet, sometimes on all-fours, but always uttering the most fearful yells, and glaring upon the crowd in a manner that was really dangerous. Mr. Kerry did not feel exactly happy at the whole thing, and began heartily to wish himself outside. Suddenly, the savage gave a crazier scream than before and seized a piece of raw beef, tore to pieces eagerly, and ate in the wildest manner. “I’ll go now,” thought Mr. Kerry, “for who knows whether, in his hungry moods, he might not want to finish his dinner with me.”Just at this moment, some sounds struck his ear that surprised him. He listened more attentively and, to his amazement, found that among the most fearful cries and wild yells, the savage was talking Irish. Now, Mr. Kerry had never heard of an African Irishman so he listened very closely. He turned to the savage and addressed him in Irish. “Who are you?” said Mr. Kerry.“Billy McCabe, sir.”“And what do you mean by playing your tricks here, instead of earning your living like an honest man?”“Well,” said Billy, “one may do some strange things to earn his living.”26. Mr. Kerry was walking along the Strand because（）.6A. he had nothing else to doB. he was late for an appointmentC. he was looking for something to doD. he was unwilling to go home27. Inside the house, at first, Mr. Kerry（）A. was nearly suffocatedB. could see nothingC. was pushed outD. couldn’t hear anything28. The wild man gave the impression of being dangerous by（）A. the way he movedB. the way he dressedC. the looks he gaveD. the cries he made29. Mr. Kerry decided to leave the house because（）A. he felt frightenedB. he felt hungryC. he didn’t wish to eat with the savageD. he feared he might have a heart attack30. The wild man surprised Mr. Kerry by speaking Irish since（）A. he was on show in LondonB. he was a primitive savageC. he spoke native language beforeD. he was thought to be AfricanII. 根据国际音标标出下列单词中划线字母或字母组合的读音。
