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.

<span class='text_page_counter'>(3)</span> each beginning in September, January, and March: the summer quarter, June to August, is composed of shorter sessions of varied lengths. 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 faculties complain that the eleven- week term is simply not enough for them to cover the material required by most college courses. 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. Question 35: The word "customary" in paragraph 2 could best be replaced by . A. long B. Default C. traditional D. limited Question 36: When is the academic year? A. August to June B. June to August C. September to July D. September to June Question 37: Where would this passage most probably be found? A. In a American newspaper B. In a dictionary published in the United States C. In a general guide to colleges and universities in the United States D. In a college catalog for a university in the United States Question 38: A semester system .

A. attracted B. established C. considered D. familiarized Question 40: How many terms are there in a quarter system? A. four regular terms and one summer term B. two regular terms and two summer terms C. one regular term and four summer terms D. three regular terms and one summer term Question 41: Which of the following characteristics does NOT apply to trimesters?

THE BOOK IN THE 21st CENTURY How many times in the last hundred years or so have people talked of the imminent death of the book?

Added to this, the book is such a practical tool: it doesn't cost too ( 53) , it is usually small enough to carry around, and it can easily be (54) .

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. When the first white men came to America, they found vast amounts of natural resources of tremendous value. Forests covered a large part of the nation; later gas, oil and minerals were found in unbelievable amounts. There was a great abundance of very fertile soil. Forests, prairies, streams and rivers abounded with wildlife. So vast were these resources that it seemed that they could never be used up. So forests were destroyed to make way for farmland. Grasslands and prairies were ploughed and harrowed. Minerals and oil were used in great quantities to supply a young industrial nation. Almost every river became the scene of factories, mills and power companies. Mammals and birds were slaughtered for food and sport. Within a short time, the results were obvious. Floods caused millions of dollars worth of damage yearly. The very fertile soil was washed away or blown up in great clouds. The seemingly inexhaustible oil and minerals showed signs of depletion. Rivers were filled with silt from eroding farms and wastes from factories. Many of the rivers were made unfit for fish. Several species of birds disappeared, and some mammals seemed on the verge of going. Future timber shortages were predicted. In short, Americans soon became to realize that some sort of conservation program must be set up, if future as well as present Americans were to share in the resources that are the heritage of every American.
