Ⅳ．Reading Comprehension（35分）

Directions：Read the following passages. Each passages is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C, and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just heard.

（A）

       A student who enters a university in the second half of the 20^th century is in a new situation. He is not like the young man of the early 19^th who came to sit at the feet of the masters and left as a master. That situation no longer exists, because now it is not only the student who changes. He may grow fast, but science grows still faster.

       The young German philosophy Hegel, writing at the beginning of the 19^th century, believed that one man’s mind could contain all the knowledge of his times. At that time it was perfectly possible for a man to hold such a belief and to base his life on it. Hegel’s friend Goethe wrote a famous poem about a young man who hoped to translate this purpose into reality. They young man in the poem was called Fraust. But Hegel’s situation was slightly different from Fraust’s because Fraust, the hero of the poem, had the devil to help him, while Hegel had only his professors.

       Today a very different situation exists, a situation in which the professor and the devil have lost most of their power. Today a student cannot master knowledge, he can only be its servant. He knows that he can become familiar only with a small corner of knowledge, and that his learning will always be imperfect and incomplete. But he can still hope to add something to the sum of knowledge, and so make the situation slightly more difficult for those who come after him.

       A．he was a young man.

       B．he got the devil’s help.

       C．the situation was slightly more difficult for those who came after him.

       D．today’s learning situation is much different from that in the past.

66．A student of the 20^th century is faced with a new situation because      .

       A．he has to learn entirely on his own.       B．he can never be a master now.

       C．science grows very fast.                        D．he is changing all the time

67．Today a student knows that      .

       A．his knowledge is often incorrect.

       B．he cannot learn more than the students in the 19^th century did.

       C．those who come after him will have greater difficulties in learning

       D．his knowledge is very limited compared with the total amount

68．The best title for this passage might be      .

       A．Hegel, the Great German Philosopher.

       B．The Learning Situation in the Modern University

       C．How to Study at a Modern University

       D．The Rapid Development of Science

（B）

      In May 1994, When Ralph Illion was a sailor stationed in the Pacific, he wrote a love letter to a girl named Gloria back in Chicago. He also wrote to his wife, Lillian. You can imagine Lillian’s surprise when she opened her letter and found Gloria’s included.

       “Dear Gloria,”it began.“It’s about time I introduced myself. We haven’t met, yet I have heard so much about you, I must say I’ve fallen in love.”

       “This confession might come as a shock, since you know nothing about me except what other people have told you. Don’t take them too seriously. I’m really a bad fellow once you get to know me. And my feelings for you will never change as long as I live.”

       “I hope this makes the proper impression and you won’t think me too bold. Send me a picture. And please keep my love for you locked in your heart, have it opened only when I call for it in person.”
