閱讀理解

　　Normally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and each course which he attends gives him a credit(學(xué)分) which he may count toward a degree. In many American universities the total work for a degree includes thirty-six courses each lasting for one tern. A typical course includes 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 student would expect to take four years attending two terms each year. It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a long period. It is also 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 he follows a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the record is valuable for the students to show to employers . All this gives a constant (經(jīng)常) pressure of work, but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs. Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm (熱情) . The effective(有效的) work of keeping discipline(紀(jì)律) is usually performed by students who advise the university leaders. Any student who is thought to have broken the rules, for example by cheating, has to appear before a student court. With quantities 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 his future.

1．Normally a student would at least attend ________ classes each week.

[　　]

A．12
B．15
C．20
D．36

2．American university students are usually under pressure of work because ________.

[　　]

A．they want to run for position of authority

B．their academic performance will affect their future work

C．they are heavily involved(卷入) in student affairs

D．they have to observe university discipline

3．Some students are eager for positions in student organizations probably because ________.

[　　]

A．such positions are usually well paid

B．they hate the constant pressure and strain of their study

C．such positions help them get better jobs

D．they will then be able to stay longer in the university

4．The student organizations seem to be effective in ________.

[　　]

A．evaluating(估價(jià)) students' performance by bringing them before a court

B．keeping up the students' enthusiasm for social activities

C．making sure that the students observe university regulations

D．dealing with the students affairs of the university

答案：A;B;C;D
解析：

　　1．A　導(dǎo)解：從文中可知，學(xué)生一學(xué)期36門課，一門課每周3節(jié)，每學(xué)期4至5門課，由此判斷每周至少12節(jié)課．

　　2．B　導(dǎo)解：第二段開(kāi)頭提到學(xué)生有壓力的原因，可知選B．

　　3．C　導(dǎo)解：短文最后一句說(shuō)到了具體原因，“受到尊重，對(duì)未來(lái)有好處”．

　　4．D　導(dǎo)解：文中提到了學(xué)生組織的作用，如維護(hù)紀(jì)律、學(xué)生法庭，由此可知選D．
