Question

    It was the last day of final exam in a large eastern university. On the steps of one building stood a group of engineering (工程学) students. On their faces was confidence. Some were talking about jobs they already had;others were talking about jobs they would get. With experience and knowledge of four years in college,they felt they were ready and able to conquer (征服) the world.

   Happily,they walked into the classroom in line. The professor gave out the papers. And everyone smiled when they found that there were only five questions.

   Three hours passed. Then the professor began to collect the papers. He looked at the worried faces before him,then asked ,“How many have finished all the five questions?”

   Not a hand was raised.

  “How many have answered four?”

   Still no hands.

   “Three? Two?”

   The students still kept quiet.

  44One,then? Certainly somebody have finished one?”

   But the students still kept quiet.

   “These questions you could not answer are very common in everyday practice. As you can know now,although you have finished four years of engineering,there are still many things about the subject you don't know." Then,smiling,he added: “You will all pass the exam,but remember一you have to learn more in the LARGEST university,do you?”

详析

1. B词义猜测题。由第一段最后一句话they felt they were ready and able to conquer the world. ”可知，他们对 即将走向社会跃跃欲试。通过这一细节可猜测 confidence 意为“自信” 

2. C 细节理解题。由第一段 “Some were talking about jobs they already had;others were talking about jobs they would get. ”可知，这些学生们正在谈论着他们 已经找到的和将要找到的工作。

3. D细节理解题。第三段提到“He looked at the worried faces before him... ”，由句中关键词worried可知，这些 学生考试之后都很焦急。

4. C推理判断题。教授给学生的这些试题并不难，都是走入社会后经常接触到的问题。由此判断，画线句子的 含义是“学生走向社会，要边工作边学习。”这儿的the largest university其实就是社会。

5. D主旨大意题。综合理解全文可知，教授主要通过学生完不成答卷这个事实，教育学生学无止境。因此本文 的标题应该是“So Much to Learn”。

D
