Passage One
  There are four types of college degrees, starting with the associate degree. The associate takes about two years to complete when one is enrolled full time. The bachelor’s degree takes four years when one is enrolled full time with the master’s taking one to two years, and the doctor’s three to four years. The associate degree may be substituted for the first two years of a bachelor’s degree if it is transfer degree. Not all associate degrees are designed for transfer. Some are ethnical degrees that are called terminal degrees, which means they do not count toward a bachelor’s. The bachelor’s is normally required before one can work at the master’s level. Likewise, the master’s is normally required before one can work at the doctor’s level.
  The length to credit hours of university degree programs varies from one school to another. In general, the A. A. is 60 semester hours or 95-quarter hours. The B. A. (or B. s.) is 120 semester hours or 185-quarter hours. The M. A. is 30 semester hours or 45-quarter hours and the Ph. D. is 60 to 72 semester hours or 95 to 120 quarter hours.

  【答案】B
  27. What is the terminal degree?
  【答案】A
  28. What is the number of credit hours for a B. A. in literature?

  Passage Two
  Today when a man steps onto the moon, or something new and important happens, the world learns about it immediately. What did the newspapers say about that first flight in 1903? Strangely enough, they said hardly anything about it at all. There were only a few reports about it in the papers. These reports said very little. Some of the things they said were not even correct. In 1904 the Rights built a second machine. They called it “Flyer No. two”. They invited some reporters to a field near Dayton to watch them fly. Unfortunately there was some mechanical trouble with the plane and it did not fly at all that day. The newspapermen went away. They were disappointed and did not come back. The Rights went on with their work. In 1905 they built an even better machine, “Flyer No. three”. They were able to stay up in the air for half an hour and more in this machine. They were able to turn and climb in the air. Farmers, travelers on the roads around Dayton often saw them flying. But when these people told newspapermen about it, they refused to believe them.
  The Rights offered “ Flyer No. Three” to the United States Government. The Government was not interested. They seemed to think the Rights wanted money in order to build an airplane. They did not understand the Rights had already done this, and flown it as well. Experts were still saying that mechanical flight was impossible. At the end of 1905, the two brothers took their plane to pieces. The parts were put into a huge wooden case. (3) It seemed nobody was interested.
  29. What were the Rights able to do in “Flyer No. Three”?
  【答案】B
  30. What did the newspaper say about the first flight in 1903?
  【答案】C
  31. Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?
  【答案】B
  Passage Three
  The family is changing. In the past, grandparents, parents, and children used to live together, and they had an extended family. Sometimes two or more brothers with their wives and children were part of this large family group. But family structure is changing throughout the world. The nuclear family consists of only one father, one mother, and children; it is becoming the main family structure everywhere.
  The nuclear family offers married women some advantages: they have freedom from their relatives, and the husband does not have all the power of the family. Studies show that in nuclear families, men and women usually make an equal number of decisions about family life.
  But wives usually have to “pay” for the benefits of freedom and power. When women lived in extended families, sisters, grandparents and aunts helped one another with housework and childcare. In addition, older women in a large family group had important positions. Wives in nuclear families do not often enjoy this benefit, and they have another disadvantage, too: women generally live longer than their husbands, so older women from unclear families often have to live alone. Studies show that women are generally less satisfied with marriage than men are. In the past, men worked outside the home and women worked inside. Housework and childcare were a full time job, and there was no time for anything else. Now women work outside and have more freedom than they did in the past, but they still have to do most of the housework. The women actually have two full-time jobs, and they have not much free time.

  【答案】C
