10、scover how many young people go to universities without any clear idea of what they are going to do afterwards. If one considers the enormous variety of 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 stud

11、ent 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

12、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

13、do not look back and say, “I should like to have been an archaeologist. If I hadnt taken a degree in Modern Languages, I wouldnt have ended up as an interpreter, but its too late now. I couldnt go back and begin all over again.”There is, of course, another side to the question of how to make the bes

14、t use of ones 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

15、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 s

16、pecialists 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 special

17、ity in a hurry B. “all-rounders” are the treasure of a university C. every student should study for a degree D. if a student is not satisfied with what he is studying, he can go back and begin all over again 22. The quotation at the end of the first paragraph means that （ ）.A. the student is happy w

18、ith his work being an interpreter B. the student complains about being an interpreter C. the student is asking to start other courses D. it is too late for the student to become an interpreter 23. Based on the second paragraph, which of the following statements is TRUE? （ ）A. A student should not be

19、 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 univ

20、ersity to acquire a broader perspective of life, he will undoubtedly benefit B. 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 t

21、hey 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 opportunities 25. The word “all-rounders” in the first paragraph probably means a person who （ ）.A. is good at all subjects B. is not sure

22、 of whatever he is doing C. takes no interest in doing anything D. does not know how to make best use of his time Passage 2One 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 figu

23、re 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 exhibitedonly five pencethe wild man from Africahe eats raw food, and many other pleasing and sur

24、prising 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.

25、 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 di

26、d 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. “Ill go now,” thought Mr. Kerry, “for who knows whether, in his hungr

27、y 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

28、 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 thing
