Many teachers believe that the responsibility（责任）for learning lies with the students. If a long reading assignment（布置的作业）is given, teachers expect students to be familiar with the information in the reading even if they do not discuss it in class or give an examination. (Courses are not designed merely for students to pass exams). The ideal（完美的）student is considered to be one who is motivated（目的明确的）to learn for the sake（原故）of learning, not the one interested only in getting high grades（分数）. Grade-conscious（清醒的）students may be frustrated（受挫）with teachers who do not believe it is necessary to grade（分等级）every assignment. Sometimes homework is returned with brief (short) written comments but without a grade. Even if a grade is not given, the student is responsible for learning the material assigned. When research is assigned, the professor in the United States expects the students to take the initiative （积极性）and complete the assignment with less guidance. It is the student's responsibility to find books,magazines, and articles in the library. Professors do not have the time to explain how a univesity library works,they expect students, particularly graduate students, to be able to use all the reference sources（资料）in the library.
Professors will help students who need it, but prefer that their students not be over dependent on them.In the United States, professors have other duties be sides teaching. Often they are responsible for management within their department. In addition（此外）, they may be required to publish articles and books. Therefore the time that a professor can spend with a student outside of class is limited. If a student has problems with classroom work, the student should either approach（接近）a professor during office hours or make an appointment（约会）. 67．“Courses are not designed merely for students to pass exams.”This means“____.” A．teachers want students to fail exams B．teachers care only about exam grades
C．teachers believe that passing exams is not the only purpose of a course
D．teachers design courses for lectures only
68．Professors in the United States usually expect A．the students to know all the answers

69．The main idea of this Passage is that ____. A．students should learn independently
B．students should learn under close guidance of their professors C．students should learn how to work together D．students should not learn mainly for high grades
70．If a student has a problem with classroom work, he or she should ____. A．make an appointment with the professor a week before B．approach a professor after class
C．turn to the professor for help in his office D．go to the professor's home
71．Who is considered to be a good student? A．One who aims at getting good scores. B．One who is planning to get a degree.
C．One who can memorize（记忆）knowledge. D．One who has the motivation to learn. E
Snow and rain during the past two weeks came down as good news to farmers throughout China, since the country's agriculture suffered a drought（干旱）last year.
Snow in the past two weeks affected all of North China and part of Northeast China and rain fell along the middle and lower reaches of Yangtze River.
According to statitics（统计）, 5 millimetres of snow fell in Beijing on Tuesday and yesterday morning. Total snowfall in the first 10 days of January has reached 9 millimetres. The average snowfall from this same period in the past 50 years is only 1 millimetre. A researcher told China Daily that weather observers（观察者）have used recent storms to experiment with artificial（非天然的）methods to increase the amount of snowfall. Only some regions（区域）in Beijing were affected. They include Changping and Fangshan, where the experiments took place. But not everyone in the streets was happy.
By evening yesterday, the 122 hotline for traffic accident reports had taken more than 600 calls. Seven highways and expressways（快车道）in Beijing closed to traffic. Those included national highways 108,109 and110.
The winter's first heavy snow in Northeast China's Liaoning Province blocked traffic, and sent people to the hospital with slip-and-fall injuries.
Twenty-seven flights, including international ones, were delayed or cancelled（取消）at Shenyang's Taoxian International Airport. Most highways linking Shenyang to other cities were closed as well.
Latest news also shows that snowfall last weekend killed five and injured four in Ili Prefecture（地
区）, Northwest China, Xinjiang. In addition, more than 2,000 head of livestock（牲畜）died and more than 170 houses fell down.

One possible version:
I'd like to introduce myself to you.
My name is Wang Lin. When I was in middle school, I liked English very much. Once in an English competition, I won the first prize. I was often praised by my teacher because I did well in English. After I graduated from middle school, I have been teaching myself English in my spare time. I keep on listening to English broadcast and reading English materials for 15 pages each day. I keep on practising spoken English as well. After several years of hard study, I've made great progress in English. Now I can talk to foreigners in English freely. Last year I translated a 30, 000-word article for Zheng Da Medical Company. I also translated a novel and had it published. I'm sure I can do my work well if I am taken on.
