Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50.
Although most universities in the United States are on a semester system, which offers classes in the fall
and spring, some schools observe a quarter system comprised of fall, winter, spring, and summer quarters. The
academic year, September to June, is divided into three quarters of eleven weeks each beginning in September,
January, and March: the summer quarter, June to August, is composed of shorter sessions of vary length.
There are several advantages and disadvantages to the quarter system. On the plus side, students who wish

to complete their degrees in less than the customary four years may take advantage of the opportunity to study
year round by enrolling in all four quarters. In addition, although most students begin their programs in the fall
quarter, they may enter at the beginning of any other quarters. Finally, since the physical facilities are kept in
operation year round, the resources are used effectively to serve the greatest number of students. But there are
several disadvantages as well. Many faculty complain that eleven-week term is simply not enough for them to
cover the material required by most college coursed. Students also find it difficult to complete the assignments
in such a short period of time.
In order to combine the advantages of the quarter system with those of the semester system some colleges and
universities have instituted a three-term trimester system. In fourteen weeks, faculty and students have more


time to cover material and finish course requirements, but the additional term provides options for admission
during the year and accelerates the degree programs for those students who wish to graduate early.
