Part V Reading Comprehension (25 minutes, 40 points)
Section A Multiple Choice (5 points)
Directions: There is 1 passage in this section with 5 questions. For each of them, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.
Questions 51-55 are based on the following passage.
Normally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and each course that he attends gives him a credit, which he may count towards a degree. In many American universities the total work for a degree consists of thirty-six courses each lasting for one semester. A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks; while attending a university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester. Normally a university student would expect to take four years attending two semesters each year. It is possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not in fact done as a regular practice.
For every course that he follows a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the record is available for the student to show to prospective employers. All this imposes a constant pressure and strain of work, but in spite of this some students still find time for participation in student affairs. Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm. Students who advise the academic authorities usually perform the effective work of maintaining discipline. Any student who is thought to have broken the rules, for example, by cheating has to appear before a student court. With the enormous numbers of students, the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activity. A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in this career.
Questions:
51. Normally a student would at least attend ________ classes each week.
A. 36 B. 12 C. 20 D. 15
52. According to the first paragraph, an American student is allowed ________ .
A. to live in a different university
B. to take a particular course in a different university
C. to live at home and drive to classes
D. to get two degrees from two different universities
53. American university students are usually under pressure of work because ______.
A. their academic performance will affect their future careers
B. they are heavily involved in student affairs
C. they have to observe university discipline
D. they want to run for positions of authority
54. Some students are enthusiastic for positions in student organizations probably because ________ .
A. they hate the constant pressure and strain of their study
B. they will then be able to study longer in the university
C. such positions help them get better jobs
D. such positions are usually well paid
55. The student organizations seem to be effective in ______.
A. dealing with the academic affairs of the university
B. keeping up the students’ enthusiasm for social activities
C. evaluating students’ performance by bringing them before a court
D. ensuring that the students observe university regulations
Section B Yes / No / Not Given (5 points)
Directions: In this part, you will have 5 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on the Answer Sheet. For questions 56 - 60, mark
Y (for YES) if the statement agrees with the information given in the passage;
N (for NO) if the statement contradicts the information given in the passage;
NG (for NOT GIVEN) if the information is not given in the passage.
Questions 56-60 are based on the following passage.
After I left Debrecen I walked for days and put up my tent at night. An old couple driving a horse and cart stopped and spoke to me. I tried out my broken Hungarian and they laughed. But it was obvious they were offering me a lift, so I got up on the cart, with my backpack and tent. They offered me some fiery apricot liqueur, home-made by the look of it. We drank it from the bottle.
The land was flat. You could see forever. You could see as far as the future. At first we could still see the Hortobagy River, brown in the weak sunshine, and carpets of sunflowers. But then, as we jolted along a track in the cart, there was just the puszta—the dry Great Plain of Hungary. It’s where the Hungarians grow their wheat and catch their wild horses.
A Hungarian poet once said that the earth and the sky are one in the puszta. I understand what he means. As far as you can see in every direction, the sky comes down and touches the land. This dry yellow land is not beautiful in the usual sense, but being in it, being part of it, I felt a great sense of peace. I have always hated mountains and skyscrapers because they are bigger than I am. But this ... When I lay down and watched the puszta from the back of the cart, it was like being in a great safe flat bed that had no sides but just went on forever. It was then, at that moment, that I felt I could do anything in the world that I wanted. I was eighteen years old.
Then, in the distance, we saw the horses. At first there was just a cloud of dust. Then, suddenly, about ten small, wiry, brown Hungarian wild horses charged across the Great Plain. They got near enough for me to see them tossing their heads. Two csikos, Hungarian cowboys, were chasing them. The cowboys saw the cart and shouted something. The old man shouted something back and he and the old woman laughed. They said something to me in Hungarian, probably trying to explain what the cowboys had said.
I fell asleep. When I woke up, the horses and the two csikos had gone but nothing about the scenery had changed. W

HARD DISK DRIVE TECHNOLOGY
A few years ago,a query about the health of a person’s hard disk drive would have been met with a blank stare.Nowadays,almost everyone is aware of this remarkable electronic storage medium that is part of every modern computer,even though most users remain ignorant of the complexity of hard drive technology.
In the early days of computing,an information record of a computer’s memory content was kept on punched cards similar to the way in which an automated piano stores the keynote sequences on a piano roll.Later,magnetic tape was used to store electronic signals,and is still the favoured means of economically backing up the contents of hard drives.However,accessing information sequentially stored on tape is slow since the electronic data must be input through a fixed head in single pass.
Hard disk drives solve this problem by incorporating a spinning platter on which magnetic data can be made accessible via a moving head that reads and writes information across the width of the disk.It is analogous to(相似的)the way in which a person can choose to play a particular track on a CD player by causing the arm to move the head across the disk.The CD player is,in fact,necessarily similar in design to a hard drive,although there are significant differences in speed of data access.
Most modern hard drives incorporate several platters(磁盘) to further reduce the time spent seeking the required information. Also,some newer drives have two heads;one for reading,and a second head for writing data to disk.This separation of tasks enables much higher densities of magnetic information to be written on the platter,which increases the capacity of the hard drive.
There are three important ways in which the capacity of hard disks has been increased.First,the data code itself has been tightened with express coding techniques.Second,as previously noted,the head technology has been improved;and third,the distance between the heads and the platters has been greatly reduced.It is hard to believe,but the head can be made to pass over the magnetised platter at distances of less than 1 microinch(the width of a typical human hair is 5000 microinches).This is achieved by means of a special protective coating applied to the platter.Each of these three improvements enables speedier access to the data.
Hard drives are more commonplace than tape recorders these days,but it must be remembered that they are much more fragile.Treated with respect they may last a number of years,but they are quite easily damaged,often with disastrous consequences for the user,whose precious data can become lost forever.Dropping a drive is almost always fatal,as is passing an incorrect electrical current through one(by faulty connection).Dust and even extremes of temperature can cause failure. Yet,no physical damage can ever result from the input of data via the keyboard or mouse.Of course,over time the magnetised coating on the platters will erode,yet this is almost entirely independent of the amount of use.
There are serious questions being raised about the direction of the future of electronic storage media.Some researchers claim that it would be wiser to invest more time and money in setting up systems for streaming data across networks of computers from centralised banks of information storage.This would avoid the need for each personal computer user to have his or her own copy of a software program resident on a local hard drive.Personal data files could be kept at a central storage unit,and be suitably protected from disaster by a fail?safe(具有自动防止故障特性的) backup system.
As the Internet becomes ever more pervasive(遍布的),and the speed of access to other machines increases across our telephone lines,it might be possible to do away with local storage systems altogether.

71.Magnetically?coated disks are one of many types of________.
aaaA.sequential access information systems
aaaB.information storage solutions
aaaC.tape storage solutions
aaaD.CD players

72.Connecting a hard drive incorrectly usually________.
aaaA.results in excess temperature
aaaB.erodes the magnetised material on the platters
aaaC.damages the keyboard or mouse
aaaD.destroys the drive

73.Keyboard or mouse use can easily cause___
