单选题It's interesting that the arrival of snow has the effect on people in different countries.(76) For some countries it is an important happening to celebrate each year, while for oth-ers a catastrophe (灾害) or even a wonder. But there are countries between these two kinds that normally expect snow some time over the winter months, but never receive snow regularly or in the same quantities every year. Britain is one of them, for which the arrival of snow quite simply creates problems. Within hours of the first snowfalls, however light, roads are blocked; trains and buses have to stop in the middle of the way. Normal communications are affected as well: tele-phone calls become difficult and the post immediately takes more time than usual. And al-most within hours there are also certain shortages-bread, vegetables and other things-not because all these things can no longer be produced or sent to shops, but mainly be-cause people are frightened and go out and store up with food and so on… just for fear that something bad should happen.But why does snow have this effect? After all, the Swiss, the Austrians and the Cana-dians don't have such problems. It is simply because there is not enough planning and preparation. We need money to buy equipment to deal with snow and ice. To keep the roads clear, for example, requires snow-ploughs (扫雪机) and machines to spread salt.(77) The reason why a country like Britain does not buy snow-ploughs is that they are only used for a few days in any one year, and the money could be more useful in other things such as hospitals, education, helping the old, and so on.

单选题{{B}}Passage 29{{/B}} The first English window was just a slit in the wall. (29) {{U}}It was cut long, so that it would let in as much light as possible, and narrow, to keep out the bad weather.{{/U}} However, the slit let in more wind than light. This is why it was called "the wind's eye". The word window itself comes from two Old Norse words for wind and eye. Before windows were used, the ancient halls and castles of northern Europe and Britain were dark and smoky. Their great rooms were high, with only a hole in the roof to let out the smoke from torches and cooking fires. As time went on, people wanted more light and air in their homes. They made the wind's eyes wider so as to admit air and light. They stretched {{U}}canvas{{/U}} across them to keep out the weather.

单选题{{B}}Passage 2{{/B}} Traditionally, universities have carried out two main activities: research and teaching. Many experts would argue that both these activities play a critical role in serving the community. The fundamental question, however, is how does the community want or need to be served? In recent years universities have been coming under increasing pressure from both the governments and the public to ensure that they do not remain "ivory towers (象牙塔)" of study separated from the realities of everyday life. University teachers have been encouraged, and in some cases constrained (强逼), to provide more courses which produce graduates with the technical skills required for the commercial use. (78) {{U}}If Aristotle wanted to work in a university in the UK today, he would have a good chance of teaching computer science but would not be so readily employable as a philosopher. {{/U}} A post-industrial society requires large numbers of computer programmers, engineers, managers and technicians to maintain and develop its economic growth but "man", as the Bible says, "does not live by bread alone." (79) {{U}}Apart from requiring medical and social services, which do not directly contribute to economic growth, the society should also value and enjoy literature, music and the arts. {{/U}}Because they can also promote economic growth. A successful musical play, for instance, can contribute as much to the Gross National Product through tourist dollars as any other things.
