Passage Two

Started in 1636, Harvard University is the oldest of all the many colleges and universities in the United States. Yale, Princeton, Columbia and Dartmouth were opened soon after Harvard.

In the early years, these schools were much alike. Only young men went to college. All the students studied the same subjects, and everyone learned Latin, Greek and Hebrew. Little was known about science then, and one kind of school could teach everything that was known about the world. When the students graduated, most of them became ministers (大臣) or teachers.

In 1782, Harvard started a medical school for young men who wanted to become doctors. Later, lawyers could receive their training in Harvard's law school. In 1825, besides Latin and Greek, Harvard began teaching modern languages, such as French and German. Soon it began teaching American history.

As knowledge increased, Harvard and other colleges began to teach many new subjects. Students were allowed to choose the subjects that interested them.

Today, there are many different kinds of colleges and universities. Most of them are made up of smaller schools that deal with (涉及) special fields of learning. There's so much to learn that one kind of school can't offer it all.

36. The oldest university in the US is______.

A. Yale

B. Princeton

C. Harvard

D. Columbia

    A.When; starteD.B.The moment; starteD.C.Until; starting
    D.Once; to start

    答案:B
    解析:
    本题考查连词及并列句
    B选项,句意为“马修斯先生一得到消息,就匆忙跑出房子、启动了汽车、一路开到了镇上”。the moment “一……就”,引导时间状语从句,根据句意可知其最符合。hurried out of ,started, drove为三个连续的动作,在最后一个动作前加and,三个动词的形式都应该保持统一。综上,B选项正确。
    A选项,when “什么时候”,与题意不符,故排除。
    C选项,hurried out of ,started, drove为三个连续的动作,starting的形式与题干不符,故排除。
    D选项,to start的形式与题干不符,故排除。
    故正确答案为 B项。
