Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to<br />
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.<br />
Although most universities in the United States are on semester system, which offers<br />
classes in the fall and spring, some schools observe a quarter system comprised of fall,<br />
winter, spring and summer quarter. The academic year, September to June, is divided into<br />
three quarters of eleven weeks each, beginning in September, January, and March; the<br />
summer quarter, June to August, is composed of shorter sessions of varying length.<br />
There are several advantages and disadvantages to the quarter system. On the plus side,<br />
students who wish to complete three degrees in less than the customary four years may take<br />
advantage of the opportunity to study year round by enrolling in all four quarters. In<br />
addition, although most students begin their programs in the fall quarter, they may enter at<br />
the beginning of any of the other quarters. Finally, since the physical facilities are kept in<br />
operation year round, the resources are used efficiently to serve the greatest number of<br />
students. But there are several disadvantages as well. Many faculty complain that the<br />
eleven-week term is simply not long enough for them to cover the material required by most<br />
college courses. Students also find it difficult to complete the assignments in such a short<br />
period of time.<br />
In order to combine the advantages of the quarter system with those of the semester<br />
system, some colleges and universities have instituted a three-term trimester system. In<br />
fourteen weeks, faculty and students have more time to cover material and finish course<br />
requirements, but the additional term provides more options for admission during the year<br />
and accelerates the degree programs for those students who wish to graduate early.<br />

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to<br />
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50.<br />
Normally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and<br />
each course which he attends gives him a credit which he may count towards a degree. In<br />
many American universities the total work for a degree consists of three classes per week<br />
for fifteen weeks; while attending university a student will probably attend two terms each<br />
year. It is possible to spread to period of work for the degree over a longer period. It is also<br />
possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course,<br />
though this is not in fact done as a regular practice.<br />
For every course that he follows a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the<br />
record is useful for the student to show to coming employers. Most of the students feel the<br />
pressure of work, but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student<br />
affairs. The students are interested in elections to positions in student organization. The<br />
effective work of keeping orders is usually performed by students who advise the university<br />
authorities. Any student who is thought to have broken the rules, for example, by cheating<br />
has to appear before a student court. With the large numbers of students, the operation of the<br />
system includes a certain amount of activity. A student who has held one of these positions<br />
is much respected and it will be of importance to him later in his career.<br />
