Passage Four
Students all over the world have to work for their education. A college education in the United States is
expensive. The costs are so high that most families begin to save for their children's education when their children are babies. Even so, many young people cannot afford to pay the expenses of full-time college work. They do not have enough money to pay for school costs. Tuition for attending the university, books for classes, and living expenses are high. There are other expenses such as chemistry and biology lab fees and special student activity fees for such things as parking permits and football tic, kets. The cost of college education increases every year. However, classrooms are still crowded with students. Some American students have scholarships or other support, but many do not.
Students from other countries have money problems to overcome, too. Because students in most international programs need to have a sponsor, they work hard to earn scholarships or special loans. International students understand the value of going to school in another country. They also know that it is difficult. Yet just as Americans choose to attend American universities in spite of the difficulty, however, it is usually possible for students from abroad to work on university campuses to pay for some of the costs of their education. Some people believe that students value their education more if they work for it.
48. Tuition for attending the university in the United States is ______.
A. inexpensive
B. high
C. free from charge
D. costless
正确答案：B

单选题We can infer from the second paragraph that _____.Athe society is not satisfied with the present college education
Bthe governments interfere too much with college education
Cthe teachers are forced to do what they don’t like to do
Dteachers dislike teaching commercially useful courses
正确答案： D解析：
推理题。根据第二段第一句“In recent years universities have been coming under increasing pressure from both the governments and the public to ensure that they do not remain ‘ivory towers’ of study separated from the realities of everyday life”。这里说大学现在面临来自政府和公众的压力，要求大学不能再保持其脱离现实生活的象牙塔的地位了，由此可见，社会对大学是不满的。 -

单选题In this passage the author argues that______.Amore and more evidence shows college education may not be the best thing for high school graduates
Bcollege education is not enough if one wants to be successful
Ccollege education benefits only the intelligent, ambitious, and quick-learning people
Dintelligent people may learn quicker if they don’ t go to college
正确答案： A解析：
本题考查作者的观点态度。综观全文尤其是最后一段首句“college may not be the best，the proper，the only place for every young person after the completion of high school”，表明上大学并不是高中毕业生最佳的、最合适的惟一的出路，且越来越多的证据表明了此观点的正确性，故选项A正确。 -
第7题：
单选题In the 2nd paragraph, “those who don’t fit the pattern” refers to______.Ahigh school graduates who aren’t suitable for college education
Bcollege graduates who are selling shoes and driving taxis
Ccollege students who aren’t any better for their higher education
Dhigh school graduates who failed to be admitted to college
正确答案： C解析：
fit the pattern意为“符合这个模式”，结合上下文可知人们心目中高等教育的模式指的是“college will help them earn more money，become ‘better’ people，and learn to be more responsible citizens than those who don’t go.”，所以那些“不符合这个模式的人”没有很高的收入、没有更有教养或更有责任感，是那些接受了高等教育却没有任何进步的人，故C项正确。 -
第8题：
问答题College seniors are faced with the job market that is intensely competitive. Many graduates complain that the market poses too high a requirement on them. On the other hand, many employees have also voiced many complaints about new recruits. But the fact is that many graduates cannot succeed in job interviews, and some lose their jobs due to poor performance on their positions. As it is hard to change the overall social environment, graduates need to adjust themselves. What should seniors do to get prepared to prevent similar problems in their future jobs? Write a composition of about 400 words on the following topic:On Getting Prepared for Our Future Jobs In the first part of your writing you should present your thesis statement, and in the second part you should support the thesis statement with appropriate details. In the last part you should bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or a summary. Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar and appropriateness. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.正确答案：
On Getting Prepared for Our Future Jobs College graduates get more freedom in choosing their jobs. But facts show that a free job market is really a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it brings graduates wider selection of jobs, on the other hand, it imposes a higher requirement on these inexperienced job seekers. Many have failed in interviews; some are performing rather badly on their positions, or get fired. To avoid these problems, I think we college students must make at least three efforts to get prepared for the job market.
First, we must learn to apply knowledge to practical use. Our future jobs will require much from our knowledge, but the actual way by which the knowledge is used may be widely different from class discussion, so only when we can properly apply classroom knowledge to practical use can the knowledge become really useful. To do this, we should develop the habit of analyzing actual problems with our course knowledge. Many courses include a component called case study, and this is a valuable opportunity to apply knowledge to practical use. Meanwhile, we can also learn to apply our knowledge to our discussion or reflection of various issues of interest.
Besides, we should also learn to cooperate with others. Though the society is becoming increasingly competitive, success in future jobs should really come from competition with opponents and cooperation with colleagues. This is why the concept of teamwork is becoming so popular now. To get prepared for this, we should learn to get along with our classmates at school, to understand others, and to make necessary compromise. These experiences may prove very helpful when we have to get ourselves accepted by a new working group.
The last preparation is for possible failure. We all crave for success, but most success comes after successive failure. As a result, we should know that on the way to success, there must be many failures waiting for us, and only when we can overcome these failures can we reach the success. A recent survey conducted among students from 10 universities indicates that only 20 per cent of them axe aware of the potential threat of failure. Some universities are offering courses on failure or depression management to cultivate a positive attitude to problems in one's life. I think they axe really necessary.
So to sum up, college students must get prepared long before graduation to succeed in their future jobs. We should acquire, as early as possible, the habit of putting knowledge to practical use, and learn to cooperate with others and manage failures properly. Although the requirement from the job market seems unfair, the only way to deal with it is to get prepared instead of making useless complaints.解析：
这个题目实际上要考生谈论的是在校学生如何为将来的工作做好准备。例文引言段部分采用narrow—down模式，先谈毕业生找工作时遇到的问题，然后很自然地转到如何避免这些问题上。在Thesis statement中，作者很明确地提出要从三个方面做准备，为正文打下了良好的基础。在正文段中，作者用三段分别从“学以致用、与人合作和应对失败”三个方面说明大学生应该如何为将来的职场做好准备。每一段都有简短而清晰的主题句。在结论段中，作者先用一句话呼应文章的中心，然后再第二句话中重申了正文段三个主题句中的主要观点，从而完成了summary的工作。最后一句属于significance的范畴，作者凭此进一步强调本文的意义，文章的结尾简短而有力。 -

Bcollege graduates have the habit of taking temporary jobs
Cmany college graduates might never find jobs for which they are trained
Dcollege graduates are accustomed to taking permanent jobs
正确答案： D解析：
首段第四句指出“The result is that the graduates cannot enter the professions for which they are trained and must take temporary jobs, which do not require a college degree”，大学毕业生找不到专业对口的工作，只能做一些临时性的工作，而这些工作根本用不着大学学历。由此可知，如果市场不能为大学毕业生提供专业对口的工作，那么高端人才只能去做临时工，这会成为惯例，因此选C“许多大学毕业生也许永远找不到专业对口的工作”。 -

第14题：
About 35%of all high school graduates in America continue their education in an institution of higher learning.The word college is used to refer to either a college or a university.These institutions offer four-year programs that lead to a Bachelor of Arts(B.A.)or Bachelor Science(B.S.)degree.Some students attend a junior college(providing only a two-year program)for one to two years before entering a four-year college as a sophomore(二年级生)or junior(三年级生).
It is generally easier to be accepted at a state university than at a private one.Most private schools require strict entrance examinations and a high grade point average(GPA),as well as specific college prep classes in high school.Private schools cost considerably more than state colleges and famous private schools are very expensive.Poorer students can sometimes attend,however,by earning scholarships.Some college graduates go on to earn advanced masters or doctoral degrees in grad(graduate)school.Occupations in certain fields such as law or medicine require such advanced studies.
Since college costs are very high,most students work at part-time jobs.Some have full-time jobs and go to school part-time.Often some will take five or more years to complete a four-year program because of money/job demands on their time.
While the college and work demands take up the great part of a student’s time,most still enjoy social activities.Sports,dances,clubs,movies,and plays are all very popular.However,gathering together for long,philosophical talks at a favorite meeting place on or near the university is probably the most popular activity.
College education is_______in America.A.quite common
B.very rare
C.something difficult
D.almost impossible答案：A解析： -

第16题：
问答题Read the passage carefully and answer Questions 1 to 5. Answer each question in a maximum of 10 words. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet. In the United States today, many people want a college education. However, almost half of the people who go to college now do not attend a four-year college. Instead, they go to a community college. The community college offers a two-year course of study in a wide range of subjects. It prepares some young people to go on to a four-year college. It trains others for jobs in business, government, or industry. Some people choose a community college because of cost. The tuition for a semester at a community college can be less than half the cost of a semester at a four-year college. Also, since these colleges are located in large communities, their students can save money by living at home. Community colleges are also useful for people who have jobs and who do not have time for a traditional four-year college. Some of these people take night courses at community colleges. Others complete long-distance courses, in which they stay at home and use video-tapes, audiotapes, and the Internet. Community colleges also serve high school graduates who only achieved low grades. Many of these students would not be admitted to a four-year college. If they do well, they may go on to a four-year college. Today, the country’s 1,500 community colleges have more than 10 million students. These colleges are making it possible for more and more people to continue their education. Questions: 1．What is the passage mainly about? 2．What does theyin paragraph 1 refer to? 3．In which fields does a community college provide job training? 4．Why do people often prefer to go to a community college? 5．What does the word tuitionin paragraph 3 mean?正确答案：
1.(the advantages of)community college 本文主要介绍了与普通高校相比,社区学院的各项优点,如:开设课程广泛、学费低以及适合各类学生进修等。
2.half of the people who go to college now ”instead”表意思转折,前后共享一个主语。
3.business, government, or industry 第二段最后一句提到社区学院在商务,政府和工业领域为学生提供职能培训。
4.low cost 第三段提到许多人出于费用考虑选择社区学院,因为它的学费低于四年制高校的一半,并且因为离家近很多学生可以直接住在家里从而节省住宿费。这是community college区别于其他院校最大的地方。
5.cost 本段提到许多人出于cost考虑选择社区学院,并且由第二句话可推断tuition与cost是近义词。tuition学费。解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Directions: There is a strange phenomenon that many college students passed college English tests, and some even with high scores, but they could not properly communicate with foreigners, nor can they translate between languages, let alone write well in English. Where do the problems lie? Write a composition giving your opinion about the problems. You should write at least 160 words.正确答案：
There is a strange phenomenon that many college students passed college English tests, and some even with high scores, but they could not properly use it in real life. How does this happen? I think several reasons lie behind this phenomenon.
First reason connects with the English classes. The teaching is teacher-centered and the only thing for the students to do is take notes down and recite as many grammar rules as they can. The materials are not good for ability improving, for the emphasis is always on the multiple choices. The students can get rare chance to speak out their true feelings. Secondly, the environment for the students to practice their oral English is hard to find. English corners can only be found in college once a week. And most of the time they keep silent.
Now,it is time to change all this. On the one hand, the materials should add more practical subjects. And there should be a shift concerning the teaching emphasis, from teacher-centered to students-centered. On the other hand, more English speaking environment should be provided to the students.解析： 暂无解析 -

第20题：
问答题We have to ask ourselves: who really give the most value to society? Many college graduates could not find suitable jobs when they finish their higher education. What are the job problems for college graduates? Write a composition to state your view on this issue.正确答案：
WHY IS IT SO DIFFIUCLT TO FIND A JOB? Every year thousands of graduates flood the job market, expecting better jobs in their majors, only to be frustrated and disappointed. Why do college students find it increasingly difficult to get a rewarding job?
One reason perhaps is that many colleges and universities fail to gear their curricular to the development of industries. Degree courses offered in these colleges and universities are so outdated, irrelevant and impractical that the employers as well as the students themselves find it hard to translate their book knowledge into real job skills. No one wants to know about their mind-broadening and horizon-widening qualities, and few are willing to spend time and budget on training raw recruits.
Secondly, there is an oversupply of graduates in certain specialties, and this oversupply is increasing. Already there is an overabundance of lawyers, executive secretaries, sales engineers and other specialists due to the ambitious investment and booming industries brought on by the economic reforms in recent years. Yet colleges continue every year to turn out the graduates of these specialties to compete for jobs that aren't there. The result is that many of them cannot enter the professions for which they are trained and have to take other jobs which do not require a college degree.
Thirdly, there is a problem with the attitude of college graduates toward employment. Many of them put earnings above anything else. So they miss many opportunities. Is they have a realistic expectation of how much they should earn in the beginning of their career, it won't be difficult for them to get a job. Besides, they are also very particular about the place. Many college graduates are reluctant to seek a job in the less developed provinces, say, in the mid-western areas, where there are immense opportunities for success and career development. Instead, they all food to the big cities in the eastern coastal area, such as Shanghai, Guangzhou and Beijing. As a result, the competition in these cities becomes more fierce.
The problems that college graduates encounter in job hunting deserve more attention from the colleges and the government. The colleges should get their students out of the ivory tower and gear their courses to the needs of industry and business. The government should provide college graduates with more vocational opportunities to develop new skills, and at the same time raise the wages in the intellectual field so as to retain those willingly devoted to academic studies and scientific research.解析：

首段第四句The result is that the graduates cannot enter the professions for which they are trained and must take temporary jobs, which do not require a college degree.指出大学毕业生找不到专业对口的工作，只能做一些临时性的工作，而这些工作根本用不着大学学历。由此可知，如果市场不能为大学毕业生提供专业对口的工作，那么高端人才只能去做临时工，这会成为惯例，因此选C)“许多大学毕业生也许永远找不到专业对口的工作”。
