Passage One
In the Middle Ages, St. Nicholas was everyone?s favorite saint. He was patron saint of all kinds of people,including merchants,sailor and small boys. Few facts are known about Nicholas, who was bishop of Myra, in Asia Minor, during the fourth
century, but there are some very-fetched legends about him. This one , the best knowing of all,may be true.
In Nicholas?s hometown, it is said, lived a family so poor that the father could not afford dowries for his three daughters. Nicholas determined to rescue them from starvation and distress,but without making his generosity known. So, when the eldest daughter was old enough to marry, he dropped a bad of gold in at her window at night.(Some say he dropped it down the chimney, where it fell into the shoe or stocking she had left on the hearth to keep warm. And that?s why children hang up their stocking or leave a shoe ready for presents.)
Nicholas did the same for the second and third daughters, but on the last occasion he was discovered by the grateful father. Nicholas swore him to secrecy. And that is why in some countries today, presents are given, especially to the children on 5 Decemeber, which is St. Nicholas? eve.

Passage Two
The English language reflects the history of the people who have spoken it. The early Celts, who inhabited most of England before Anglo-Saxons came, left a small heritage of words in English. The Romans, who abandoned Britain about 410 A.D. after hundreds of years of occupation, had a more lasting influence on the language.
Actually, Latin, the language spoken by the Romans, entered English at many different times. It arrived with the early Roman conquerors. It came with missionaries who introduced Christianity to Britain. It flourished during the revival of learning called the “Renaissance”, as scholars coined new words for new products and new
processes. Greek, like Latin, has been enriching English since early times.
After the Romans left, the island was successfully invaded many times by tribes from Northern Europe. Two of these tribes, the Angles and the Saxons, drove the Celts westward and established the basic English language as we know it. The Danes came and added their store of words. After Norman Conquest in 1066, the vocabulary was almost doubled. Then French words, based originally upon Latin ,shared the stage with Anglo-Saxon words. Frequently both words remained and acquired different uses-like pork and pig.
English has continued to grow, adding new words as it added new experiences. Contacts with Dutch seamen, for example, brought new sailing terms like skipper and sloop into the language. Spanish, Arabic, Malayan, and Janpanese-these and many other languages have added words for our use.
5. The English language reflects the history of the people_______
A. who have written it
B. who have spoken it

D.who have written created it
6.When did Latin, the language spoken by the Romans, actually enter English?
A. At many different times.
B. At the time when the early Roman conquerors came.
C. At the time when missionaries introduced Christianity to Britain.
D. At the time when the Renaissance appeared in Europe.
7. When established the basic English language as we know it?
A. The Anglos and the Saxons
B. The Romans
C. Celts
D. The Danes
8. At that time, French words shared the stage with Anglo-Saxon words. The expression “shared the stage with” could most suitably be replaced by_________. A. played as an important role as B. acted on the same stage as
C. had the same stage as
D. were used as much as
9. English has continued to grow________.
A.adding new words as it added new adventures.
B. coining new words for new ideas.
C. introducing new words into any other language.
D. adding new words as it added new experiences.
Passage Three
Passen Sie auf!
This little expression from German may mean very little to you. But if you were about to sleep out on the street and someone excitedly shouted this to you, you?d stop immediatedly. You would re-act, not to the meaning of the words but to the urgency in his voice, Passen Sie auf means something like “watch out!”in the situation just described, however, the meaning would come through in any street in the world.
Many linguists believe that a language of feeling preceded a language of ideas. Before people attached specific meanings to words, they probably had emotional cries that were perfectly understandable. Just as you learn to understand the language of facial expressions and gestures, so you learn to understand the language of tone and feeling.
A dog who lies down at a certain command may lie down if the command is worded differently but delivered in exactly the same tone. It is reacting to the nonverbal part-the tone-of the massage.
Children ,too, learn early this nonverbal language.They enjoy the parents?s soft voice and may cry at a harsh tone. They make their own wants known long before they know specific words.
This special kind of language without words is sometimes called “presymbolic”, that is, it
probably came into exsitence before the use of words. Much language is really presymbolic. When you cry out to a friend, “Hi!”you are really not asking, “How are you?” You are merely making a sound of recognition and pleasure. The importance is not in the communication of an idea but in the communication of a feeling. Much “small talk” resembles presymbolic language. The speakers are not usually too much interested in the content of so much talk. They enjoy making contact with another person.
10. What can we conclude from the situation described in Para.1 and Para.2?
A. A language of ideas came long before a language of feeling.
B. A language of feeling came long before a language of ideas.
C. Before they put specific meaning to words, people probably had emotional cries.
D. Before they had emotional cries, people probably put specific meaning to words.
11. It can be learnt from the passage that children learn________.
A. the nonverbal language much earlier than they know specific words.
B. the parents? soft voice much easier than their harsh tone.
C. how to make their own want as they were born.
D. how to react to the language of feeling as the grow.
12.What does the word …presymbolic” mean?
A.Someting that came into use before symbols were created.
B.A special kind of language withour before.
C.Someting that came into existence before the use of words.
D.Someting that is verbal.
13.Which of the following is TRUE from the passage?
A.All the languages in the world are nonverbal.
B.The verbal language is more important than the nonverbal language.
C.Much language is really presymbolic.
D.People learn to understand not only the language of facial expressions and gestures but the langugae of tone and feelings as well.
14.What could be the BEST title for this passage?
A.The Symbolic Language
B.The Language of Ideas.
C.The Verbal Language.
D.The Language of Feeling.
Passage Four
One argument used to support the idea that employment will continue to be the dominant form of work, and that employment willl eventually become available for all who want it,is that working time will continue to fall.People in jobs will work fewer hours in the day,fewer days in the week,few weeks in the year, and fewer years in a lifetime, than they do now.This will mean that more jobs will be available for more people,This, it is said, is the way should set about restoring full emmployment. There is no doubt that something of this kind will hanppen. The shorter working week,longer holidays,earier retirement,job-sharing-these and other ways of reducing the amount of time pepole spend on their jobs-are certainly likely to spread. A mix of pait-time paid work and part-time unpaid work is likey to become a much more common work pattren than today, and a fleexi-life patten of working-invlving paid employment at certain stages of life,but not at others-will become widespread.But it is surely unrealistic to assume that this will make it possible to resotre full employment as the dominant form of work.
In the first place, so long as employment remains the overwhelmingly important form of work and source of income for most people that it is today,it is very diffucult to see how reductions employee? working time can take place on a scale sufficiently large and at a pace suffuciently fast to make it possible to share out the available paid employment to everyone who wants is .Such negotiations as there have recently bee,for example in Britain and Germany, about the possibility of introducing a 35-hour working week,have highlighted some of the difficulties. But, secondly,if changes of this kind were to take place at a pace and on a scale sufficient to make it possible to share employment among all who wanted it ,the resulting situation-in which most people would not be working in their jobs for more than three short days a week-could hardly continue to be one in which employment was still regasded as the only turely valid form of work.There would be so many people spending so much of their time on other activities,including other forms of useful work, that the primac of employment would be bound to callde into question, at least to some least.
15.The author uses the negotiation in Britian and Gremany as an example to
A. Support reductions in employee?s working time
B.indiacates employees are unwilling to share jobs
C.prove the possibility of sharing paid employment
D.show that employment will lose dominance
16.At the end of the passage the author seems to imply that as a result of shorter working time
A.employment may not retain its ususl importance
B.employment may not be reagsaded as valid work
C.people can be engaged in far less unpaid work
D.people can be engaged in fai more unpaid work
17.The author?s attitide towards future full employment is generally
A.supportive
B.wavering
C.skeptical
D.unclear
Passage Five
During the early stages of the Industrial Revolution,advertising was a relatively srtiaightforward means of announcement and communication and was used mainly to promote novelties and finge products,But when factory production got into full swing and new products ,r.g.processed foods,came onto to the market,natioal advertising campaigns and brand-naming of products became necessary.Before large-scale factory production,the typical manufacturing unit had been small and adaptable and the task of distributing and selling goods had largely been undertaken by wholesales.The small non-specialized factory which did not rely on massive investment in machinery had been flexible enough to adapt its production according to changes in public damends. Put the economic depression which lasted from1873to 1894 marked a turing point between the old method of industrial organization and distribution and the new. From the beginning of the nineteenth century until the 1870s,productions had steadily expanded and there had been a corresponding growth int retail outlets.But the depression brought on a crisis of over-production and under-consumption-manufacture goods piled up unsold and prices and profits fell.Towards the end of the century many of the small industrial firms realizd that they would be in a better position to weathe economic depressions and slumps if they combined with other small business and widend the range of goods they proudced so that all their eggs were not in one basket.They also realized that they would have to take steps to ensure that once their goods had been produced there was a marker for them.This period ushered in the first phase of what economics now all “monopoly capitalism”,which, roughly speaking, refers to the control of the market by a small number of giant,conglomerate enterprises.Whereas previously the larger manufacturing units and combins ralied more and more on mass adverting to promote their new range of products.
A good example of the changes that occurred in manufacture and distribution at the turn of the century can be found in the soup trade.From about the 1850s the marker had been flooded with anonymous bars of soap,produced by hundreds of small manufactres and distributed by wholesales and door-to-door https://www.doczj.com/doc/4411011898.html,petion grew steadily throughout the latter half of the century and eventually the leading compains embarked on more aggressive selling methods in order to take customers away from their rivals.For instance,the future Lord Leverhulme decided to “brand”his soap by selling it in distinctive packeages in order to facilitate recongnition and encourage customer layalty.
Lord Leverhulme was one of the first industialists to realzie the adertisements should contain”logical and considered”arguments as well as eye-catching and witty slogans .Many advertisers followed his lead and started to include “reason-why”copy in their ads.For example,one contemporary Pears soap as went into great detail about how the product could enhance marital bliss by cutiing down the time the wife had-to spend with her arms in a bowl of frothy suds.And an ad for Cadbury?s cocoa not only
Proclamined its purity but also detailed other benefits:”for the ianfant it is a delight and a support: for the young girl,a source of health viogor;for the young miss in her
teens a valuable aid to development……”and so on .As the writer E.S Turner rightly pointd out,the advertising of this period had reached the “stage of persuasion as distinct from proclamation or iteration” .Indeed advertise or bust seemed to be the rule of the day as bigger and more expensive campagins were mounted and smaller firms whou didi not, or could not,advertise,were squeezed or bought out by the larger compaines.
18.An example of a producu which might well have been advertised during the early stages fo the Industrial Revolution is
A. a cooking utensil
B. a new child?s toy
C.tinned fruit
D.household soap
19.One of the more aggrassive selling methods in the soap trade by the leading compaines was to

The structure of the family, which is a basic unit of the society, changes along with the development of the society. In China?s feudal society which lasted several thouand years, a self-sufficient small peasant economy predominated. The family was not only the basic unit in everyday life but also a basic unit of production. Dring the last hundred years, great changes have taken place in China. The Chinese society, which had gone through the long feudal period, and later the semi-colonial, semi-feudal period, had turned into a socialist society. This historic change has led to changes in the Chinese family strcture. Large families began to divide into smaller extended families and stem families, with the trend pointing toward the emergence of more and more nuclear families.

Getting the job you want require derive,energy,and preparation.Though you may qualify for many positions,there is bitter competitions for good job these days. There may be a dozen or more equally qualified candidates. Thus ,you must convince your possible employer that you are that one special person he has been looking for.
I was shocked when I learned that a person must treat looking for a job like a job itself.If you invest the same amount of energy into your job hunt as you would into you work,you will find a job much sooner.
However,this rule does not apply to the person who already has a job-----don?t leave it yet!It is much easier to go from one job to anther than to quit and start from ground zero.
Part 4 Reading conprehensing
Passage one
In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it?s a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.
In social life, the time plays a very important part. In the U.S.A. guess tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S.A no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour, it would be too impolite. A person who is 5 minutes late, he will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.
31.The main purpose of the first paragraph is that .
A. time is very important to everyone
B. different timing can make different meaning in communication
C. one should not choose the very early and late time to phone
D. telephoning time can show the caller?s respect for others
32.Supposing one wants to make a telephone call at dawn, this would mean .
A. it is a matter of life and death
B. the matter is not very important
C. the matter is somewhat important
D. the matter requires little attention
33.Accordig to this passage, time plays an important role in .
A. political life
B. private life
C. school life
D. communications
34.The best title for this passage would be .
A. the voices of time

C. the important of an announcement
D. time and tide wait for no man
Passage Two
Taste is such a subjective matter that we don?t usually conduct preference tests for food. The most you can say about anyone?s preference is that it?s one person?s opinion. But because the two big cola companies---Coca-Cola and Pepsi Cola are marketed so aggressively, we?ve wondered how big a role taste preference plays in brand loyalty. We set up a taste test that challenged people who identified themselves as either Coca-Cola or Pepsi fans: Find your brand in a blind tasting.
We invited staff volunteers who had a strong liking for either Coca-Cola Classic or Pepsi, Diet Coke, or Diet Pepsi. These were people who thought they?d have no trouble telling their brand from the other brand.
We eventually located 19 regular cola drinkers and 27 diet cola drinkers. Then we fed them four unidentified samples of cola one at a time, regular colas for the one group, diet versions for the other. We asked them to tell us whether each sample was Coke or Pepsi; then we analyzed the records statistically to compare the participants choices with what mere guess-work could have accomplished.
Getting all four samples right was a tough test, but not too tough, we thought, for people who believed their brand of choice in all four trails. The diet-cola drinkers did a little worse-only 7 to 27 identified all four samples correctly.
While both groups did better than chance would predict, nearly half the participants in each group made the wrong choice two or more times. Two people got all four samples wrong. Overall, half the participants did about as well on the last round of tasting as on the first, so fatigue, or taste burnout, was not a factor. Our preference test result suggests that only a few Pepsi participants and Coke fans may really be able to tell their favorite brand by and price.
35.It is implied in the paragraph that .
A. blind tasting is necessary for identifying fans
B. the purpose of taste tests is to promote the sale of colas
C. the competition between the two colas is very strong
D. the improvement of quality is the chief concern of the two cola companies

A. Few people had trouble telling Coca-Cola and Pepsi
B. There is not much difference in taste between Coca-Cola and Pepsi
C. People?s tastes differ from one another
D. Coca-Cola and Pepsi are people?s two most favorite drinks
37.According to the passage the preference test was conducted in order to .
A. find out the role taste preference plays in a person?s drinking
B. reveal which cola is more to the liking of the drinkers
C. compare the ability of the participants in choosing their drinks

Passage Three
Earlier this year, I visited a teenage drug-treatment center in the Midwest. It was my 20th visit to such a place and I thought I had heard everything about drug abuse?s terrible effects. Well, I hadn?t.
I met a pretty 11-year-old child who had recently completed treatment. I asked her when she began using drugs, and she replied, “I was two months old.” Her parents had put alcohol and drugs in her baby bottle to keep her quiet! By age six she was smoking marijuana, and by age ten she had resorted to prostitution to support to support her habit.
Never in my life have I felt so compelled to do something. If we don?t take action right now,
we risk losing an generation of our children.
Our top priority should be prevention, and the closest thing we can do at present is parent groups. That?s why, last November, I became involved with the television project called “The Chemical People,” a Public Broadcasting Service program aimed at helping communities organize against drug and alcohol abuse. Nearly 11000 “town meeting”were set up by 35 voluntary organizations. Since then, at least 8000 of these meetings have grown into permanent anti-drug parent groups.
Reader’s Digest has been a leader in building awareness of the horrors of teenage drug and alcohol abuse. The numerous articles I have read in The Digest have provided me with a greater knowledge of the issue and have increased readers?determination to fight back. Millions of reprints of these articles have been distributed as a public service. I salute Reader’s Digest for the spotlight it has played on one of our nation?s greatest problems.
The White House is committed to the drive against drugs. My husband?s concern is as strong as mine. But we can do it alone. We need dedicated, active people who will work together. Won?t you please join us and help save our children?
39.Why did the author think she had heard everything about drug abuse?s terrible effects?
A. Because she met a child who had recently completed treatment.
B. Because she had visited teenage drug-treatment center many times.
C. Because she became involved with the television project called “The Chemical People”.
D. Because she had read numerous articles in Reader’s Digest.
40.What is the main function of Reader’s Digest in the passage?
A. To print numerous articles for teenagers.
B. To build drug-treatment centers.
C. To solve the problem of teenage drug and alcohol abuse.
D. To raise public awareness of the severance of teenage drug and alcohol abuse.
41.According to the passage which of the following does nothing for fighting against teenage drug and alcohol abuse?
A. The Chemical People
B. Reader’s Digest
C. International Anti-drug Organization
D. White House
42.What is the best title for the passage?
A. To Save Our Children
B. Join the “town meeting”
C. Solutions to the Issue of Teenage Drug Abuse
D. How to Acquire Knowledge of Teenage Drug Abuse
Passage Four
Breakfast is regarded as the most important meal during the day especially for those children and teenagers who are still budding. But a recent survey among primary and middle school students in major cities across the country showed that a large proportion of students do not eat their breakfast timely and properly.
Many primary school students in Shanghai eat breakfast on their way to school during the morning rush. And since students have to arrive there before 8 a.m, some even take their first meal
of the day into school to eat.
A total of percent of students questioned in a recent city survey said they didn?t eat breakfast at a regular time, either due to lack of time or appetite. Meanwhile, 80 percent of the students said they regularly ate breakfast at home, while the remainder brought food off the street on the route to school.
National nutrition standards state that breakfast should provide 30% of the daily recommended energy and nutrient s needed for the body. Experts say that students who don?t get a proper breakfast may suffer from a lack of concentration, restlessness and fatigue. Research also shows that an improper breakfast is one of the main reasons for the rising number of obese children in the country.
Skipping breakfast can lead to over-secretion of digestive enzymes, which is harmful to the digestive system. This affects the appetite and children may over-eat later in the day. Medical experts also point our that people?s lif e styles affect their breakfast eating habits. Sleeping late and getting up late among local families has resulted in many parents neglecting their children?s breakfast. Experts are now calling for more public awareness about the importance of eating a regular breakfast, to benefit the health of local children and their parents.
43. Breakfast is______.
A. regarded as the most important meal only for children and teenagers.
B. skipped only by the students who are lack of appetite.
C. mainly useful in that it can prevent you from over-eating later in the day.
D. beneficial to the children who are growing.
44. Breakfast provides nearly _______ of the energy and nutrients need for the body daily.
A. half
B. a quarter
C. one third
D. all
45. According to a recent survey, ________.
A. a total of 7 percent of students eat breakfast on the way to school.
B. less than half of students regularly eat breakfast at home.
C. 20 percent of students buy food off the street as their breakfast.
D. the majority of students don?t have breakfast regularly.
46. The main purpose of this passage is to ______.
A. analyze the results of a recent survey.
B. blame the parents for their children?s skipping breakfast.
C. call for public awareness about the importance of eating a regular breakfast.
D. tell people why some children and teenagers who are still budding are overweight.
Passage Five
As a result of pollution, Lake Erie, on the borders of the USA and Canada, is now without any living things.
Pollution in water is not simply a matter of “poisons” killing large numbers of fish overnight. Very often the effects of pollution are not noticed for many months or years because the first organisms to be affected are either plants or plankton. But these organisms are the food of fish and birds and other creatures. When this food disappears, the fish and birds die too. In this way a whole food chain can be wiped out, and it?s not until dead fish and water birds are seen at the river?s edge or on the se ashore that people realize what is happening.
Where do the substances which pollute the water come from? There are two main sources of sewage and industrial waster. As more detergent is used in the home, so more of it is finally put into our rivers, lakes and seas. Detergents harm water birds, dissolving the natural substances which keep their feathers water-proof. Sewage itself, if not properly treated, makes the water dirty and prevents all forms of life in rivers and the sea from receiving the oxygen they need. Industrial waste is even more harmful as there are many highly poisonous things in it, such as copper and lead.
So, if we want to stop this pollution, the answer is simple: sewage and industrial waste must be made clear before flowing into the water. It may already be too late to save some rivers and lakes, but others can still be saved if the correct action is taken at once.
47. Pollution of water is noticed______.
A. when the first organisms are affected
B. when a good many fish and birds die
C. when poisonous things are poured into water
D. as soon as the balance of nature is destroyed
48. The living things die because there is no______ in the lake or river.
A. water
B. fish
C. poison
D. oxygen
49. Which of the following is harmful according to the passage?
A. Organisms
B. Plants and plankton in the water
C. Waste water from cleaning
D. Industrial waste made clear
50.The way to stop water pollution is to__________.
A. realize the serious situation clearly
B. put oxygen into the river
C. make the waste material harmless before flowing into the water
D. make special room in the sea for our rubbish
Passage Six
The Welsh language has always been the ultimate marker of Welsh identity, but a generation ago it looked as if Welsh would go the way of Manx, once widely spoken on the Isle of Man but now extinct. Government financing and central planning, however, has helped reverse the decline of Welsh. Road signs and official public documents are written in both Welsh and English, and schoolchildren are required to learn both languages. Welsh are now one of the most successful of Europe?s regional languages, spoken by more than a half-million of the country?s three million people.
The revival of the language, particularly among young people, is part of a resurgence of national identity sweeping through this small, proud nation. Last month Wales marked the second anniversary of the opening of the National Assembly, the first parliament to be convened here since 1404. The idea behind devolution was to restore the balance within the union of nations making up the United Kingdom. With most of the people and wealth, England has always had bragging rights. The partial transfer of legislative powers from Westminster, implemented by Tony Blair, was designed to give the other members of the club-Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Wales—a bigger say and to counter centrifugal forces that seemed to threaten the very idea of the
union.
The Welsh showed little enthusiasm for devolution. Whereas the Scots voted overwhelmingly for a parliament, the vote for a Welsh assembly scraped through by less than one percent on a turnout of less than 25 percent. Its powers were proportionately limited. The Assembly can decide how money from Westminster or the European Union is spent. It cannot, unlike its counterpart in Edinburgh, enact laws. But now that it is here, the Welsh are growing to like their Assembly. Many people would like it to have more powers. Its importance as figurehead will grow with the opening in 2003, of a new debating chamber, one of many new buildings that are transforming Cardiff from a decaying seaport into a Baltimore-style waterfront city. Meanwhile a grant of nearly two million dollars from the European Union will tackle poverty. Wales is one of the poorest regions in Western Europe-only Spain, Portugal, and Greece have a lower standard of living.
Newspapers and magazines are filled with stories about great Welsh men and women, boosting self-esteem. To familiar faces such as Dylan Thomas and Richard Burton have been added new icons such as Catherine Zeta-Jones, the movie star, and Bryn Terfel, the opera singer. Indigenous foods like salt marsh lamb are in vogue. And Wales now boasts a national airline. Awyr Cymru, Cymru, which means “land of compatriots,” is the Welsh name for Wales. The red dragon, the nation?s symbol since the time of King Arthur, is everywhere-on T-shirts, rugby jerseys and even cell phone covers.
“Until very recent times most Wel sh people had this feeling of being second-class citizens,” said Dyfan Jones, an 18-year-old student. It was a warm summer night, and I was sitting on the grass with a group of young people in Lanelli, an industrial town in the south, outside the rock musi c venue of the National Eisteddfod, Wales?s annual cultural festival. The disused factory in front of us echoed to the sounds of new Welsh bands.
“There was almost a genetic tendency for lack of confidence,” Dyfan continued Equally comfortable in his Welshness as in his membership in the English-speaking, global youth culture and the new federal Europe, Dyfan, like the rest of his generation, is growing up with a sense of possibility unimaginable ten years ago. “We used to think. We can?t do anything, we?re only Welsh. Now I think that?s changing.”
51.According to the passage, devolution was mainly meant to
A. maintain the present status among the nations
B. reduce legislative powers of England
C. create a better state of equality among the nations
D. grant more say to all the nations in the union
52. The word “centrifugal” in the second paragraph means
A. separatist
B. conventional
C. feudal
D. political
53. Wales is different from Scotland in all the following aspects EXCEPT
A. peopl e?s desire for devolution
B. locals? turnout for the voting
C. powers of the legislative body C. status of the national language
54. Which of the following is NOT cited as an example of the resurgence of Welsh national identity.
A. Welsh have witnessed a revival as a national language.
B. Poverty-relief funds have come from the European Union.
C. A Welsh national airline is currently in operation.
D. The national symbol has become a familiar sight.
55. According to Dyfan Jones what has changed is
A. people?s mentality
B. pop culture
C. town?s appearance
D. possibilities for the people
Passage Seven
The University Tansformed,edited by Australian futurists Sohail Inayatullah and Jennifer Gidley,presents some 20 highl y varied outlooks on tommorrow?s universities by writers represening both Western and non-Western perspectives.Their essays raise a broad range of issues,questioning nearly every key assumption we have about higher education today.
The most widely discussed alternative to the traditional campus is the Internet Univesity-a voluntary community to schoolars/teachers physically scattered throughout a country or around the world but all linked in cyberspacr.A computerized university could have many advantaged,such as easy scheduling,efficent delivery of lectuers to thousands or even millitions of students at once,and ready access for students everywhere to the resources of all the world?s geat libraries.
Yet the Internet Univesity poses dangers,too.For example,a line of franchised coursware,produced by a few superstar teachers,marketed under the brand name of a famous institution,and heavily advertised,might eventually come to dominate the global education market,warns sociology professor Peter Manicas of the University of Hawaii at Manoa.Besides enforing a rigdily standardized curriculum,such a “college educadion in a box” could undersell the offeringd of many traditonal brick and mortar institutions,effectively driving them out of business and throwing thousands of career academics out work,note Australian communicationd professors David Rooney and Grey Hearn.
Go the other hand,while glabal connectivity seems highly likely to play sme significant tole in futuer higher education,that does not mean greater uniformity in course content-or other dangers---will necessarily follow.Counter-movements are also at work.Many in academia,including scholars contributing to this volumes,are questioning the fundamental misstion of univesity education.What if, for instance,instead of receiving primarily techical training and building their individual careers,university studentd and professors in their local communities and the world? Feminst scholar Ivana Milojevic dares to dream what a university might become “if we believ ed that child and teacher in early childhood education should be one of the higest(rather than lowest)paid professionals?”
Co-editor Jennifei Gidley shows how tomorrow?s university faculty,instead of giving lectuers snd conducting independent research,may take on three new roles.Some would act as brokers,assembling customized degree-credit programs for individual students by mixing and matching the best course offerings available from institutions all around the world.A second group,mentors,would functio n much like today?s faculty advisers,but are likely to be working with many more students outside their own academic specialty.this would require them to constantly be learning from their students as well as instructing them.A third new role for faculty,an d in Gidley?s view the most challenging and rewarding of all, would be as meaning-makers:charismatic sages and practitioners leading groups of student/colleagues in collaborative efforts to find spiritual as
well as rational and technological solutions to specific real-world problems.
Moreover,there seems little reason to suppose that any one form of university must necessarily drive out all other options.Students may be “enrolled”in courses offered at virtual campuses on the Internet,between-or even during-sessions at a real world problem focused institution.
As co-editor Sohail Inayatullah points out in his introduction,no future is inevitable,and the very act of imagining and thinking through alternative possibilities can directly affect how thoughtfully,creatively and urgently even a dominant technology is adapted and applied.Even in academia,the future belongs to those who care enough to work their visions into practical,sustainable realities.
56.when the book reviewer discusses the Internet University
A.he is in favor of it .
B.his view is balanced.
C.he is slightly critical of it.
D.he is strongly critical of it.
57.Which of the following is NOT seen as a potential danger of the Internet University?
A.Internet based courses may be less costly than traditional ones.
B.Teachers in traditional institutions may lose their jobs.
C.Internet based course ware may lack variety in course content.
D.The Internet University may produce teachers with a lot of publicity.
58.According to the review,what is the fundamental mission of traditional university education?
A.knowledge learning and career building.
B.Learning how to solve existing social problems.
C.Researching into solutions to current world problems.
https://www.doczj.com/doc/4411011898.html,bining research efforts of teachers and students in learning.
59.Judging from the three new roles envisioed for tomorrow?s university faculty,university teachers
A.are required to conduct more independent research
B.are required to offer more courses to their students
C.are supposed to assume more demanding duties
D. are supposed to supervise more students in their specialty
60.Which category of writing does the review belong to?

B.Description
C.Persuasion
