He believed ignorance (无知) to be the enemy of freedom, and he wanted to correct what he considered to be the weaknesses of educational institutions (机构) modeled on European settings. He imagined that an "academical village" around a tree-lined lawn would provide an ideal setting in which to pursue higher education. The center of such a village would be a Temple of Knowledge that would house the university library. When Virginia decided to set up a state university in 1818, the retired U.S. President finally was able to devote his talent, time, and energy to creating this new kind of educational institution. By the time he was finished with his design, Jefferson had invented an entirely new American setting for higher education: the college campus. In 1812, Jefferson chose to begin building his "academical village," the University of Virginia, in Charlottesville, VA, far away from the city center. He intended this spot to promote learning because it was natural and unspoiled, and far from anything that could distract or harm the students. The University consists of two rows of houses, five on each side, leading to a main building. This main building, the Rotunda, became the most important part of the University, because it contained the library. By focusing his entire institution on the library, instead of around the church, Jefferson revolutionized American university architecture. Jefferson's aim was to create a new institutional form for his ideal educational system, a system he thought should give every citizen the information he needs for carrying out his daily business. This new approach to citizenship and education demanded a new type of university, one where students and professors could coexist and share ideas. He attempted to create this environment by combining the professors' houses and students' classrooms, and linking all the buildings with covered walkways so intellectual exchanges between departments could go on smoothly. Jefferson had also recognized the importance of the students' whole life, and given 3 河北民族师范学院试卷 共6页 第 4 页 much thought and planning to the students' dining, living, and exercise facilities (设施). 1. Jefferson devoted much of his thought to the education of the common man because he believed ________. A. everyone who loved freedom hated ignorance B. country could not be strong without education C. an uneducated man could not gain full freedom D .European educational institutions did not suit America 2. According to Jefferson, the center of a university should be _______. A. the church B. the library C. the lawn D. the classrooms 3. Jefferson chose to locate the University of Virginia far away from the city center because ________. A. land in the city center could not be found B. there was a tree-lined lawn there C. this was a European tradition D. there was no distraction for the students 4. In Jefferson's view, an ideal educational system should ________. A. be one under which every citizen enjoys equal opportunity B. give everyone the information he needs for conducting his business C. ensure that everyone has a chance to enter an institution of higher learning D. provide students with a natural and unspoiled setting for learning 5. What was made easy by the revolutionized American campus? A. Students' learning. B. Intellectual exchange. C. Professors' teaching. D. Both students' and professors' life. Passage Two Friends play an important part in our lives, and although we may take the friendship for granted, we often don’t clearly understand how we make friends. While we get on well with only number of people, we are usually friends with only very few. For example, the average among students is about 6 per person. In all the cases of friendly relationships, two people like one another and enjoy being together, but beyond that, the degree of intimacy between them and the reasons foe their shared interest vary enormously. As we get to know people we take into account things like age, race, economic condition, social position, and intelligence. Although these factors are not of prime importance, it is more difficult to get on with people when there is a marked difference in age and background. Some friendly relationships can be kept on argument and discussion, but it is usual for close friends to have similar ideas and beliefs, to have attitudes and interests in common---they often talk about ” being on the same wavelength ”. It generally takes time to reach this point. And the more intimately involved people become, the more they rely on one another. People want to do 4 河北民族师范学院试卷 共6页 第 5 页 friends favors and hate to break a promise. Equally, friends have to learn to put up with annoying habits and to tolerate differences of opinions. In contrast with marriage, there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the association between two people. But the supporting and understanding of each other that results from shared experiences and emotions does seem to create a powerful bond, which can overcome differences in background and breakdown barriers of age, class or race. 6. In the author’s opinion, friends_______. A. are those who get on well with each other. B. Are closer than those who just get on well with each other. C. Must tolerate each other whatever they do. D. Are only those who are in need. 7. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. When we make friends we write down their age, race and economic condition. B. The shared interest between friends is very enormous. C. Every ordinary student can make 6 friends during his college life. D. It is not easy to make friends with those of a marked difference in age and background. 8. In Paragraph 2 “being on the same wavelength” means________. A. having the same background. B. keeping the same friendly relationship as other people do. C. having similar ideas, beliefs, attitudes and interests D. using the same frequency while talking 9.According to the passage,_________. A. close friends depend on each other. B. friends never argue with each other. C. it takes time to become close friends D. friends have no difference in interest 10.It can be concluded that__________. A. common experiences and emotions can lead to mutual supporting and understanding. B. friendship is bound by each other’s supporting power. C. there must be a promise to bond the association between people. D. people of different age, race and social background can never be good friends. Part III.
