Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.

Normally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and each course which 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 student would expect to take four years attending two semesters each year. It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer 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 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 great activity in student affairs. Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm. The effective word of maintaining discipline is usually performed by students who advise the academic authorities. 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 his career.

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

A) 36

B) 20

C) 12

28.   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 authorityA

29.   Some students are enthusiastic for positions in student organizations probably because ________.

A) they hate the constant pressure strain of their study

B) they will then be able to stay longer in the university

C) such positions help them get better jobs

D) such positions are usually well paidC

30.   The student organizations seem, to be effective in ________.

A) dealing with the academic affairs of the university

This picture describes the scene of a very typical family workshop which we might find in every neighborhood in China. A woman is busy making beancurd _______ her husband runs to her hilariously, saying that they have finally obtained the “sanitation license”. However, we find the condition of their workplace is quite disgusting, with flies _______[circle] and a hogpen nearby.

  The sanitation problem of family workshops in the food industry has existed for a long time. It can be mainly attributed to two factors. The first and perhaps key factor is the _______[ignore] of sanitation. Many workshops are inherited family businesses, and thus the owners are used to following traditional craftwork that pays no attention to sanitation. The other reason lies on some businessmen’s short of occupational disciplines. In order to save cost and make profit, they adopt the worst equipment in dirty conditions, regardless of consumers’ health. _______ has been proved that food produced in poor sanitary condition can greatly affect people’s health and happiness.

  For the sake of benefiting people’, our government has initiated aggressive programs to advocate the importance of sanitation. Illegal food workshops with unhealthy surrounding should never connive, but should be severely punished and _______[force] closed.

 

 

译文:

    这幅图描绘了一个非常典型的中国式家庭作坊的情景。一个女人正忙着做豆腐,此时他的丈夫欢天喜地地跑过来告诉她他们终于拿到了“卫生许可证”。但是,我们发现他们的工作场所的卫生条件令人恶心,苍蝇飞来飞去,旁边就是一个猪圈。

    食品工业中家庭作坊的卫生问题已经由来已久。其中主要有两个原因。第一个也是最重要的一个因素是人们缺乏卫生意识。许多作坊都是代代相传的家庭生意,因此作坊主们习惯于使用并不怎么强调卫生设施的传统工艺。另一个原因在于有些生意人缺乏职业纪律。为了节省成本、创造更多的利润,他们在肮脏的环境中使用最差的工具进行生产,而全然不顾消费者的健康。很多例子都可以证明在较差的卫生条件下生产出来的食品会严重影响人们的健康和幸福。

    为了人们的利益,我们的政府已经采取了积极的措施来倡导卫生的重要性。那些有着不健康环境的非法食品作坊不能得到纵容,而必须得到严厉的惩罚和坚决的取缔。
