14、rofessors do not always present material in an organized way nor do they always speak clearly. Some are from other countries and speak English with a foreign accent; some talk into their chests; and others talk so fast that she cannot keep up. They expect her to read a whole book every week for each

15、 class! Several of her courses require her to write term papers longer than her graduation thesis. The library is so big and complex and lists so many resources on the assigned topics that she wonders how she will manage to do the necessary research.

20、Three Reading Comprehension （20%）Read the following passage and answer the questions.The English, as a race, are very different from all other nationalities, including their closest neighbours, the French, Belgians and Dutch. It is claimed that living on an island separated from the rest of Europe h

21、as much to do with it. Whatever the reasons, it may be fairly stated that the Englishman has developed many attitudes and habits which distinguish him from other nationalities.Broadly speaking, the Englishman is a quiet, shy, reserved person who is fully relaxed only among people he knows well. In t

22、he presence of strangers or foreigners he often seems restrained, even embarrassed. You have only to witness a city train any morning or evening to see the truth of this. Serious-looking businessmen and women sit reading their newspapers or having a light sleep in a corner; no one speaks. In fact, t

23、o do so would seem most unusual. An Englishman, pretending to be giving advice to overseas visitors, once suggested, “On entering a railway carriage shake hands with all the passengers.” Needless to say, he was not being serious. There is an unwritten but clearly understood code of behaviour which,

24、if broken, makes the person immediately suspect.In many parts of the world it is quite normal to show openly extremes of enthusiasm, emotion, excitement, etc. the Englishman is somewhat different. Of course, an Englishman feels no less deeply than any other nationality, but he tends to display his f

25、eelings far less. This is reflected in his use of language. Imagine a man commenting on the great beauty of a young girl.

27、involvement; he must realize that “all right”, “not bad” and “nice”, very often have the sense of “first-class”, “excellent”, “beautiful”. This special use of language, particularly common in England, is known as restrained statement.Questions：1. What is your general impression of English people?2.
