Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:

　　When I was studying at Yale, some phenomena puzzled me greatly. I found that Chinese students or Asian students were very polite in class while American students often interrupted the professor, asking questions and dominating the discussion. The Chinese students were not as aggressive as American students.

　　I was impressed by the role of the professor in the seminar(討論會). The　professor didn’t act as an authority, giving final conclusions, but as a reseacher looking for answers to questions together with the students. One linguistic(語言的) feature of his interacting with his students was that he used many　modal(情態(tài)的) verbs—far more than I did in Beiwai. When answering questions, he　usually said, “This is my personal opinion and it could be wrong.” or “You　could be right, but you might find this point of view also interesting.”

　　��In China, authorities are always supposed to give wise decisions and correct directions. Therefore, students always expect the professor to give an answer to the question. I still remember how frustrated they were when foreign teachers did　not provide such an answer. Their expectations from authorities are much higher　than that of American students. Once the Chinese students got the answer, they were sure about it.

　　Education in China is valued for united thinking. I remember American teachers　who taught in our university complaining about the fact that Chinese students uniformly expressed the same idea in their English composition. The examinations　in America usually do not test a student’s ability to memorize the material but　his ability to analyze and solve problems. Education in America is valued not only as a means to obtain employment but as a process of enhancing critical thinking.

　　��A.a Chinese student tends to be very active

　　Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:

　　On�瞝ine courses (also called distance learning) are a hot new trend in American education. According to the nonprofit Distance Education and Training Council,about 400 US colleges and schools offer some portion of their programs on the Web. At the university level, they cost the same as traditional classes and require similar weekly assignments and textbook reading, the difference is in class participation.

　　Generally speaking, students congregate(使聚集) on�瞝ine throughout each week　to explore topic with the professor, but these discussions occur “asynchronously(不同時(shí)發(fā)生地)” rather than in real time. (You read others’ comments and post　your own whenever you get a chance.) Written assignments are posted, you email　in your work periodically, and you’re required to take a proctored exam in order to　receive degree credit. Career�瞓oosting business administration and information technology programs are the most popular, but you’ll also find a variety　of literal arts offerings, from film theory to medieval history and foreign language study. While you still can’t get an Ivy League degree on�瞝ine, a growing number of elite(卓越的) institutions, including Stanford and New York University are beginning to offer on�瞝ine courses.

　　The benefits for busy people are obvious. “I always get a front�瞨ow seat,”　says one student studying at the State University of New York Learning Network.“I can get up in the middle of class, grab a cup of coffee. The class is waiting for me when I get back, and I haven’t missed a thing.” On the other hand, some students miss the face�瞭o�瞗ace interaction that often sparks interest and involvement.

　　��36.Generally speaking, on�瞝ine education costs ____.

　　��A.more than the traditional one

　　��B.less than the traditional one

　　��C.as much as the traditional one

　　��D.the author hasn’t mentioned

　　��37.The major way to hand out assignments of on�瞝ine students is ____.

　　��A.to hand out them in person

　　��B.to post them

　　��C.to e�瞞ail in them

　　��D.to let the teacher enter into their personal main pages

　　��38.Which kind of program is probably NOT welcomed by most of the students?

　　��A.Software development. B.Decoration and design.

　　��C.International trade. D.Company management.

　　��D.one can not receive a degree certificate of New York University through　distant learning
