On Students Selecting Lecturers

On Students Choosing Lecturers
Nowadays, some universities give students the right to choose who teaches some of their classes. This has led to some debate over whether students should be given this much power.
There are several factors that students consider when choosing a lecturer, including the teaching style of the lecturer, the lecturer's academic background, and the lecturer's reputation among students. The ideal lecturer is one who has an interesting teaching style, a diverse academic background, and a good reputation among students.
There are both positive and negative aspects to allowing students to choose their lecturers. Giving students the choice encourages them to take ownership for their classes, and also puts pressure on teachers to improve their teaching quality.
However, the factors that students consider might not be the ones that lead to the highest quality of education. Schools might end up with lecturers who teach interesting classes without much content.

Highway
A goverment study recommended a national highway systerm of33,920 miles,and congress passed the Federcal-Aid Highway Act of 1944,which called for strict,centrakky controlled desert criterra.
The interstate highway system was finally launched in 1956 and has been hailed as one of the greatest public works projects of the century .To bulid its 44,000-mile web of highways,bridge.and tunnels hundreds of unique engineering designs and solutions had to be worked out.Consider the many geographic ,features of the country:mountains,steep grades,wetlands,rivers,desorts and plains.Variables included the slope of the land,the ability of the pavement to support the load.Innovative, designs of roadways,tunnels,bridges,overpasses,and interchanges that could run through or bypass urban areas soon began to weave their way across the country ,forever altering the face of American .
Long-span,segmented-concrete,cable-stayed bridges such as Hale Boggs in Louisiana and the Sunshine Skyway in Florida,and remarkable tunnels like Fort Mchenry in Maryland and Mr.bakerin Washington developed under the nation's physical challenges,Traffic control systems and methods of construction developed uder the interstate program soon influenced highway construction around the world,ang were invaluable in improving the condition of urban streets and traffic patterns.
Today .the interstate system links every major city in the U.S,and the U.S with Canada and Mexico,Built with safety in mind the highways have wide lanes and shoulders,dividing medians,or barriers,long entry and exit lanes,ourves engineered for safe turns,and limited access,The death rate on highways is half that of all other U.S roads (0.86 deaths per 100 million passenger miles compared to 1.99 deaths per 100 million on all other roads)
By opening the North American continent,highways have enabled consumer goods and services to reach people in remote and rural areas of jobs,access to the growth options in terms of jobs access to cutural progreams health care ,and other benefits.Above all,the interstate system provides individuals with what they enerish most:personal freedom of mobility.
The interstate system has been an essential element of the nation's economic growth in terms of shipping and job creation:more than 75 percent of the nation's freight deliveries arrive by truck.and most products that arrive by rail or air use interstates for the last leg of the journey by vehiole.
Not only has the highway system affected the American economy by providing shipping routes,it has led to the growth of spin-off industries like service stations ,motels,restaurants,and shopping centres.It has allower the rwlocation of manufacturing plants and other industries from urban areas to rural.
By the end of the century there was an immense network of paved roads ,residential streets,expressways,and freeways built to support millions of vehicles,The high way system was officially renamed for Eisenhower to honor his vison and leadership.The year construction began he said:"Together,the united forces of our communication and transportation systems are dynamic elements in the very name we bear -United States.Without them ,we would be a mere alliance of many sepaeate parts."
8.The greatest benefit brought about by the interstate system was___________
9.Trucks using the interstate highways deliver more than__________________
10.The interterstate systerm was renamed afterEisenhower in recognition_____________

Now you’ll hear two long conversations.
Conversation One
W:OK, last night you were supposed to read an article about human bones. Are there any comments about it?
M:Well, to begin with, I was surprised to find out there was so much going on in bones. I always assumed they were pretty lifeless.
W:Well, that’s an assumption many people make. But the fact is bones are made of dynamic living tissue that requires continuous maintenance and repair.
M:Right. That’s one of the things I found so fascinating about the article the way the bones repair themselves.
W:OK. So can you tell us how the bones repair themselves?
M:Sure. See, there are two groups of different types of specialized cells in the bone that work together to do it. The first group goes to an area of the bone that needs repair. This group of cells produces the chemical that actually breaks down the bone tissue, and leaves a hole in it. After that the second group of specialized cells comes and produces the new tissue that fills in the hole that was made by the first group.
W:Very good. This is a very complex process. In fact, the scientists who study human bones don’t completely understand it yet. They are still trying to find out how it all actually works. Specifically, because sometimes after the first group of cells leaves a hole in the bone tissue, for some reason, the second group doesn’t completely fill in the hole. And this can cause real problems. It can actually lead to a disease in which the bone becomes weak and is easily broken.
M:OK, I get it. So if the scientists can figure out what makes the specialized cells work, maybe they can find a way to make sure the second group of cells completely fills the hole in the bone tissue every time. That’ll prevent the disease from ever occurring.
Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
19.What is the discussion mainly about?
【解析】[C]對話一開始就談?wù)撊祟惞趋赖膯栴}，女士說 But the fact is bones are made of dynamic living tissue that requires continuous maintenance and repair. 后面的對話都是針對這個話題展開的討論，可見整個對話討論的話題是骨骼的自我修復(fù)能力。
20.What is the function of the first group of specialized cells discussed in the talk?
【解析】[C]男士解釋了第一組細胞的作用，第一組細胞生成一種化學(xué)物質(zhì)分解骨組織(This group of cells produces the chemical that actually breaks down the bone tissue...)，由此可見答案是They break down bone tissue.
21.What does the professor say about scientists who study the specialized cells in human bones?
【解析】[B]女士說這種特殊細胞作用于人類骨骼的過程相當(dāng)復(fù)雜，事實上，連研究人類骨骼的科學(xué)家都不能完全了解這個過程。從這一句中可以知道：In fact, the scientists who study human bones don’t completely understand it yet. 所以答案即是這些科學(xué)家也不完全知道這些細胞如何工作。
22.According to the student, which is one important purpose of studying specialized cells in human bones?
【解析】[A]學(xué)習(xí)這些人類骨骼中的特殊細胞的重要目的是為了學(xué)習(xí)如何預(yù)防骨頭疾病。從男士的這一句話中可看出：That’ll prevent the disease from ever occurring. 這樣可以在疾病發(fā)生之前預(yù)防疾病，可見[A]符合題意。
Conversation Two
M: Hi Diana, mind if I sit down?
W: Not at all, Jerry. How have you been?
M:Good. But I’m surprised to see you on the city bus. Your car in the shop?
W:No. I’ve just been thinking a lot about the environment lately. So I decided the air will be a lot cleaner if we all use public transportation when we could.
M:I’m sure you are right. The diesel bus isn’t exactly pollution free.
W:True. They’ll be running a lot cleaner soon. We were just talking about that in my environmental engineering class.
M:What could the city do? Install pollution filters in all their buses?
W:They could, but those filters make the engines work harder and really cut down on the fuel efficiency. Instead they found a way to make their engines more efficient.
M: How?
W:Well, there is a material that’s a really good insulator. And a thin coat of it gets sprayed on the certain part of the engine.
M: An insulator?
W:Yeah. What it does is reflect back the heat of burning fuel. So the fuel will burn much hotter and burn up more completely.
M:So a lot less unburned fuel comes out to pollute the air.
W:And the bus will need less fuel. So with the saving on fuel cost, they say this will all pay for itself in just six months.
M:Sounds like people should all go out and get some this stuff to spray their car engines.
W:Well, it’s not really that easy. You see, normally, the materials are fine powder. To melt it so you can spray a coat of it on the engine parts, you first have to heat it over 10,000 degrees and then, well, you get the idea. It’s not something you or I will be able to do ourselves.
Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
23.What is the conversation mainly about?
【解析】[C]女士說為了環(huán)保應(yīng)該多乘坐公共交通設(shè)備，因此之后的話題便圍繞如何節(jié)能保護環(huán)境的問題展開。這段對話主要討論的是公共汽車的節(jié)能問題，討論了如何讓公共汽車燃料更有效的利用，因此[C]符合題意。
24.Why did the woman decide to ride the city bus?
【解析】[B]對話開頭部分就交代了此題答案，那位女士說她不開自己的車而乘坐公共汽車是為了降低環(huán)境污染。從她提到的So I decided the air will be a lot cleaner if we all use public transportation when we could 即可得知。
25.What is the new material?
【解析】[D]這種新的材料是在引擎部位噴灑的一種絕緣材料。從女士的話中there is a material that’s a really good insulator. And a thin coat of it gets sprayed on the certain part of the engine即可得出。這種材料的用途是將燃料燃燒的熱量反射回去，從而達到提高效率的結(jié)果。
