Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.
One of the most interesting paradoxes in America today is that Harvard University, the oldest institution of higher learning in the United States, is now engaged in a serious debate about what a university should be, and whether it is measuring up (符合标准).
Like the Roman Catholic Church and other ancient institutions, it is asking--still in private rather than in public--whether its past assumptions about faculty, authority, admissions, courses of study, are really relevant to the problems of our society.
Should Harvard--or any other university--be an intellectual sanctuary, apart from the political and social revolution of the age, or should it be a laboratory for experimentation with these political and social revolutions; or even an engine of the revolution? This is what is being discussed privately in the big clapboard ( 楔形板) houses of faculty members around the Harvard Yard.
The issue was defined by Walter Lippmann, a distinguished Harvard graduate, many years ago.
"If the universities are to do their work," he said, "they must be independent and they must be disinterested... They are places to which men can turn for unbiased judgments. Obviously, the moment the universities fall under political control, or under the control of private interests, or the moment they themselves take a hand in politics and the leadership of government, their value as independent and disinterested sources of judgment is impaired..."
This is part of the argument that is going on at Harvard today. Another part is the argument of the militant and even many moderated students: that a university is the keeper of our ideals and morals, and should not be "disinterested" but activist in bringing the Nation's ideals and actions together.
Harvard's men of today seem more troubled and less sure about personal, political and academic purpose than they did at the beginning. They are not even clear about how they should debate and resolve their problems, but they are struggling with them privately, and how they come out is bound to influence American university and
political life in the 21st century.

简答题
4、裸婚(naked mar r iage)是指不买房、不买车、不办婚礼甚至没有婚戒而直接领证结婚的一种简朴的结婚方式。由于生活压力以及现代人越来越强调婚姻的“自由”和“独立”，  “婚礼”在年轻一代的婚姻中被重视的程度日益削弱，因而“裸婚”也就成为“80后”新潮的结婚方式。热衷于“裸婚”的年轻一代一般年龄在20岁到35岁之间。他们大多思想前卫，其中也不乏高学历、高收入的都市白领。


5、宣纸是一种中外闻名的名贵纸张。由于这种纸的出产地在安徽的宣城附近，所以被人们称为“宣纸”。宣纸的生产已经有一千五百多年的历史了。这种纸洁白、细密(fi Fie-grained)、均匀、柔软，能表现出中国书法和绘画的特点。由于宣纸不容易破碎、变色，所以，很多中国古代的字画经过了几百年、上千年，仍然保存得完好无缺。
