Section B

Passage 1

Unless you have visited the southern United States, you probably have never h eard of Kudzu. Kudzu, as any farmer in the south will sadly tell you, is a su per-powered weed. It is a strong climbing plant. Once it gets started, Kudzu is almost impossible to stop. It climbs to the tops of the tallest trees. It can co ver large buildings. Whole barns and farm houses have been known to disappe ar from view. Wherever it grows, its thick twisting stems are extremely hard t o remove. Kudzu was once thought to be a helpful plant. Originally found in Asia, it was brought to America to help protect the land from being swallowe d by the sea. It was planted where its tough roots which grow up to five feet long could help hold back the soil. But the plant soon spread to places wher e it wasn’t wanted. Farmers now have to fight to keep it from killing other pl ants. In a way, Kudzu is a sign of labor shortage in the south. Where there is no one to work the fields, Kudzu soon takes over. The northern United State s faces no threat from Kudzu. Harsh winters kill it off. The plant loves the w armth of the south, but the south surely doesn’t love it. If someone could inve nt some use for Kudzu and remove it from southern farmland, his or her fortu ne would be assured.

11. What do we l earn about “Kudzu” from the

passage?

12. What will happen if the fields are neglecte

d in th

e southern United States?

13. Why isn’t Kudzu a threat to the northern

United States?

Passage 2

The word “university” comes from the Latin word “universitas”, meaning “the whole”. Later, in Latin legal language, “universitas” meant a society or corpora tion. In the Middle Ages, the word meant “ an association of teachers and sch

olars”. The origins of universities can be traced back to the 12th to14th centur ies. In the early 12th century, long before universities were organized in the m odern sense, students gathered together for higher studies at certain centers of l earning. The earliest centers in the Europe were at Bolonia in Italy, founded i n 1088. Other early centers were set up in France, the Czech Republic, Austri a and Germany from 1150 to 1386. The first universities in Britain were Oxfo rd and Cambridge. They were established in 1185 and 1209 respectively. The f amous London University was founded in 1836. This was followed by the fou ndation of several universities such as Manchester and Birmingham, which dev eloped from provincial colleges. It was in the 1960’s that the largest expansion of higher education took place in Britain. This expansion took 3 basic forms: existing universities were enlarged, new universities were developed from exist ing colleges and completely new universities were set up. In Britain, finance f or universities comes from three source: the first, and the largest source, is gra nts from the government, the second source is fees paid by students and the t hird one is private donations. All the British universities except one receive so me government funding. The exception is Buckingham, which is Britain’s only independent university.

14. What did the word “Universitas” mean in

the Middle Ages?

15. Why was the 1960s so significant for Briti

sh Higher Education?

16. What is the main financial source for Briti

sh universities?

Passage 3

One of the biggest problems in developing countries is hunger. An organizatio n called Heifer International is working to improve the situation. The organizat ion sends farm animals to families and communities around the world. An Am erican farmer, Dan West, developed the idea for Heifer International in the 19 30s. Mr. West was working in Spain where he discovered a need for cows. M any families were starving because of the civil war in that county. So Mr. We st asked his friends in the United States to send some cows. The first Heifer animals were sent in 1944. Since that time, more than 4,000,000 people in 11 5 countries have had better lives because of Heifer animals. To receive a Heif er animal, families must first explain their needs and goals. They must also m ake a plan which will allow them to become self-supporting. Local experts usu ally provide training. The organization says that animals must have food, water, shelter, health care and the ability to reproduce. Without them, the animals w ill not remain healthy and productive. Heifer International also believes that fa milies must pass on some of their success to others in need. This belief guara

ntees that each person who takes part in the program also becomes a giver. E very family that receives a Heifer animal must agree to give that animal’s first female baby to other people in need . Families must also agree to pass on th e skills and training they receive from Heifer International. This concept helps communities become self-supporting.

17. What does the speaker tell us about Mr.

West?

18. What is the ultimate goal of Heifer Interna

tional?

19. What are families required to do after they

receive support from Heifer International?

20. What is the major achievement of Heifer I

nternational?

2017年6月大学英语四级听力练习（1）* How Did Thanksgiving 'Turkey' Get its Name? 感恩节“火鸡”是如何得名? The U.S. Thanksgiving holiday is symbolized by its traditional food, a large bird we call a turkey. But turkey is certainly not from Turkey. In fact, its English name is based on one big mistake. We could say it is a case of mistaken identity. Let’s set the record straight. The word “Turkey”has meant “the land of the Turks”since ancient times. The word “turkey”as it refers to the bird

first appeared in the English language in the mid-1500s. The misunderstanding over the word happened because of two similar-looking kinds of birds. There is an African bird called the guinea fowl. It has dark feathers with white spots and a patch of brown on the back of its neck. Portuguese traders brought the guinea fowl to Europe through North Africa. This foreign bird came to Europe through Turkish lands. So, the English thought of the bird as a “Turkish chicken.” When Europeans came to North America, they saw a bird that looked like the guinea fowl. This bird was native to the North American continent. Orin Hargraves is a lexicographer, someone who writes dictionaries. Hargraves explains what happened. “Some Europeans saw an American turkey, thought that it was the guinea fowl, which at that time was called the ‘turkey cock,’and so gave it the same name." Hundreds of years later, we continue to call this North American bird “turkey,”even though it has no connection at all with the country Turkey, or even with Europe. But English is not the only language with interesting -- and even questionable -- names for this North American bird.
