That made her see that Peking Opera is much more than just the looks. “There is really，really huge cultural and historical background in Peking Opera. ”The group members practice twice a week.

But with the help of teachers，she has improved a lot.There are other international students in the group. “I really love Peking Operabecause it brings us together，” she said. “I believe that art has no boundaries(界限)and music has no language barriers(障碍).

The king took it to thepalace, but when he started playing it, the harp was out of tune (走调)．Many other musicians tried it, and they agreed that the harp was useless and the king had been cheated. The harp was thrown away as rubbish.A poor little girl later found the harp. Even though she did not know how to play it, she decided to have a try. She played and played, for months and years, always with the harp out of tune, but she played better and better.Then one day, suddenly, the harp began to play the most beautiful music. It was a magic harp, and could only be played well by someone willing to spend much time practicing.One day, the king heard the music outside the window, and the girl was invited to the palace.

What is the best title for this passage?A．A Clever KingB．A Poor GirlC．A Magic HarpBWe know many musical instruments well, such as pianos, violins, drums and so on. What about the erhu? The erhu is a traditional Chinese instrument. It is the most popular of the huqin family, and it has a long history.The modern erhu developed from the xiqin, which was played by many ethnic minorities (少数民族) during the Tang Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, musicians began to use the erhu to perform different kinds of music, and it became quite a popular instrument. With the rise of some forms of folk art, the art of the erhu developed quickly during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It became an important accompanying (伴奏) instrument in different folk music. At present, it is used in both traditional and modern music, such as pop, rock and jazz. It has even become a solo (独奏) instrument. One of the most famous musical pieces played on the erhu is Erquan Yingyue.As the erhu was mainly played by common people and the playing skills were passed down orally (口头地), there are few written records about the erhu that can be found. To study the history and the development of the erhu, historians (历史学者) usually turn to ancient paintings. The earliest pictures of this instrument were found in the Yulin Caves and Eastern Thousand Buddha Caves in Gansu Province, where five erhu pictures were discovered on murals (壁画)．()39.

Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by 5 questions. For each question there are 4 choices marked A), B), C), and D). Choose the ONE answer thatbest completes each sentence.Passage 1We were standing at the top of a church tower. My father had brought me to this spot in a small town not far from our home in Rome. I wondered why.“Look down, Elsa,” father said. I gathered all my courage and looked down. I saw the squarein the center of the village. And I saw the crisscross (十字形) of twisting, turning streets leading to the square. “ See, my dear,” father said gently. “ There is more than one way to the square. Life is like that. If you can’t get to the place where you want to go by one road, try another.”Now I understood why I was there. Earlier that day I had begged my mother to do something about the awful lunches that were served at school. But she refused because she could not believethe lunches were as bad as I said.When I turned to father for help, he didn’t say anything. Instead, he brought me to this high tower to give me a lesson. By the time we reached home, I had a plan.At school the next day, I secretly poured my luncheon（午餐）soup into a bottle and brought it home. Then I asked our cook to serve it to mother at dinner. The plan worked perfectly. She swallowed one spoonful and sputtered（喷溅出）“ The co ok must have gone mad！” Quickly I told her what I had done, and Mother stated firmly that she would take up the matter of lunches at school the next day!In the years that followed I often remembered the lesson father taught me. I began to work as a fashio n designer two years ago. I wouldn’t stop working until I tried every possible means to my goal. Father’s wise words always remind me that there is more than one way to the square.61.The author’s father took her to the top of a church tower to _____ .A. enjoy the beautiful scenery of the whole townB. find out how many ways lead to the squareC. inspire her to find out another way to solve her problemD. help her forget some unpleasant things earlier that day62. What did the author want her mother to do earlier that day?A. Do something delicious for lunch.B. Taste her awful lunch.C. Dismiss the mad cook.D. Speak to the school about lunch.63.The underlined sentence in the fifth paragraph suggests that______.A. the cook agreed to se rve the soup to the writer’s mother.B. the author’s mother was angry with the cook.C. her father persuaded her mother successfully.D. the method the author thought of was effective.64. What did the author’s mother think of her luncheon soup after she tasted it?A. It was delicious.B. It wasn’t so bad as the author said.C. It is terrible.D. It was as good as her cook did.65. By sharing her own experiences, the author tries to tell us ____________.A. when one road is blocked, try anotherB. how bad the lunch of her school isC. how wise her father isD. about the church tower near her homePassage 2We use emotive language to express our own attitudes and feelings. We also direct emotive language at other people to persuade them to believe as we do or to do, as we want them to do; and, of course, other people direct emotive language at us to get us to believe or to do what they want.We are subjected to a constant stream of persuasion, day in, and day out, at home and in school, on the radio and on television. It comes from parents and teachers, from preachers and politicians, form editors and commentators, but most of all, of course, from advertisers. Most of this persuasion is expressed in emotive language and is intended to appeal to our feelings rather than to be weighted up by our powers of reasoning.We should look at the motives behind all this persuasion. Why do they want to persuade us? What do they want us to do? We are not thinking very clearly unless we try to see through the veil of words and realize something of the speakers’ purpose.An appeal to motion is in itself neither good nor bad. Our emotions exist and they are part of our personality. On some occasions people appeal to our emotions on the highest levels and from the best of motives. A case in point is Churchill’s wartime speeches: whatever people thought of Churchill as a politician, they were united behind him when he spoke as a national leader in those dark days their feelings responded to his call for resolution and unity.It is a characteristic of social groups that the members have a feeling of personal attachment to the group--- to the family in earliest childhood and extending later to the school, the team, the church, the nation, in patterns that vary from time to time. Hence a speaker from our group will find in us feelings to which he can readily and genuinely appeal, whether our reaction is favorable or not. We are at least open to the appeal and we appreciate the content in which it is made.66. The passage discusses the emotive language, whose major functions are to ______.A.show one’s feelings and appeal to these of othersB.make others trust us and respond to our feelingC.extend our powers of reasoning and carry out a purposeD.advertise and produce the wanted social effects67. The source from which emotive language flows upon us in its greatest amount is _____.A.the religious circlesB.the academic lectureC.the mass mediaD.the advertising business68. The third paragraph of this passage suggests that we __________.A.have to carefully use our emotive languageB.need to judge whether a persuasion is made for good or badC.should keep a cool head when subjected to different kinds of persuasionsD.should avoid being easily seen through by and appeal form others69. Churchill is mentioned in the passage as _______.A.a good example of the way of weighting up persuasion by reasoningB.a famous leader who brought out people’s best feelingsC.a positive example of appealing to people’s emotionD.a known politician who was good at lecturing70. From the passage we can get that a persuasive speaker must ________.A.find out what group his audience is attached toB.differentiate his speech patterns from time to timeC.be aware of the way of adapting his speaking way to the needs of the audienceD.know whether the listeners are favorable to his opinion or notPassage 3The first day of university our professor introduced a new student who appears to be very different from the rest of us. That is Rose, an eighty-seven-year-old lady who always wore a big smile on her face.“Why are you in college at this age?” I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age. “I always dr eamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one!” she told me.Over the year, Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she enjoyed being the center of attention from the other students. She was living it up!At the end of the semester, we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. She was introduced and stepped up to the stage.As she began to deliver her prepared speech, she dropped her speech cards on the floor. Frustrated and a little embarrassed she leaned into the speaker and simply said, “I’m sorry I’m a bit nervous. I gave up beer for Lent and this whiskey is killing me!”As we laughed Rose cleared her throat and began, “We do not stop laughing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There are only four secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You’ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die. We have so many people walking around who are dead and don’t even know it!Have no regrets. The elderly usually don’t have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we didn’t do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets.Finally, there is a huge difference between growing old and growing up. If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don’t do one productive thing, you will turn twenty. This is growing old, by doing nothing to your life. The idea of growing up is to always find opportunity to change.”At the year’s end Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep. Over two thousand college students attended her funeral. When you finish reading this, please send this peaceful advice to your friends and family:Remember, we cannot avoid growing old, but we can choose our own ways to grow up.37A. Because she always wanted to have a college degree.B. Because she thought college was fun and she could make many friends.C. Because she has never gone to a college.D. Because she enjoyed being the center of attention from the other students.72. According to para. 3, how did Rose live her college life?A. She always dressed up and never attend any class.B. She was quiet and didn’t want to make any friends.C. She was easygoing and made lots of friends.D. She wasn’t making the best out of her college life.73. How did she react when she dropped her speech note at the football banquet?A. She got very nervous and stopped speaking.B. She was drunk with too much whiskey.C.

That’s what all our friends called us when we first married.I guess Don and I deserved it. Money was tight. Sometimes we’d have to save up days just for an ice cream cone. Still, our tiny apartment seemed like paradise. Love does that, you know.The more we heard the term “lovebirds”, the more we thought about birds. One day we started saving up for a couple of lovebirds of our own. We knew we couldn’t afford to buy both birds and a nice cage, so in his spare moments, Don made the cage himself.We put our cage in front of a shaded window. Then we waited until our little saving was full of bills and spare change. With that money we “adopted” a pair of canaries from our loc al pet store, a male and a female, and named them Sunshine and Snowball.Time passed, and when our young lovebirds finally seemed mature enough to start a family of their own, we went ahead and prepared a nest area and lots of nesting material for them. Snowball was a very exacting wife in designing and decorating their nest just so, while Sunshine, filled withlove, bent over backward to put everything just where she ordered.Then one day an egg appeared. How they sang! And a few weeks later when a tiny chick hatched, their happiness seemed to know no bounds. I don’t know how it happened, but that baby bird was bright orange. So right off we named him Punkinhead.The sunny days passed. How proud all of us were when our baby bird ran out of the nest onto a real grown-up perch!Then one day, Punkinhead suddenly fell head down to the bottom of the cage. The tiny orange bird just lay there, both parents and I rushed to his rescue.But he was dead. Just like that. Whether he’d had a heart attack before he fel l or broke his neck in the fall, I’ll never know. But Punkinhead was gone.The mother bird refused to let either Sunshine or me get near that little body. Instead of the joyful melodies i usually heard from Snowball, now she gave only the most heartbreaking cries and moans. Her heart, joy and will seemed completely melted by her sorrow.Poor Sunshine didn’t know what to do. He kept trying to push Snowball away from her sad situation, but she refused to move. Instead, over and over she kept trying to wake up her beloved child.Finally Sunshine seemed to work out a plan. He convinced her to fly up and eat some seeds every so often, while he stood duty in her place. Then each time she left, he’d quietly place one piece of straw over Punkinhead’s body. Just o ne. But in a few days, piece by piece, it was completely covered over.At first Snowball seemed panic when she looked around, but she didn’t try to uncover the chick. Instead, she flew up to her normal place and stayed there. Then i was able to quietly reach in and remove the little body.After that, Sunshine spent all his time comforting Snowball. Eventually she started making normal sounds, and then one day, her sorrow finally melted and she sang again. I don’t know if Snowball ever realized the quiet labor of love and healing Sunshine had done for her. But they remained devoted for as long as they both lived. Love does that, you know.76.The title of the passage is “When Snowball Melted”. What does the title mean?A. the increasing temperature made the snowball melt.B. the bird called Snowball was too sad for her kid’s death so she became weaker and weaker.C. the grief born by the bird called Snowball for the death of her kid was dissolved by herhusband’s love.D. the bird called Snowball was loved by her husband so it seemed like a snowball was melted.77. Why did “our tiny apartment seemed like paradise” even though we were poor?A. Because we love our tiny apartment.B. Because the tiny apartment housed a couple in love.C. Because we kept two birds in love in the tiny apartment.D. Because our tiny apartment was clean and cozy.78. In paragraph 4, why does the author use “‘adopted’ a pair of canaries from our local pet store”instead of the word “buy”?A. “Adopted” is used he re to show that the birds are deserted by the store so the coupleadopted them.B. “Adopted” is used here to show the couple’s love for the birds, while the word “buy”seemed to be cold and emotionless.C. “Adopted” is used here to show that nobody wante d the birds so the couple were the onlyone who bought them.D. there is no special reason why “adopted” is used here.79. What is the cause of Punkinhead’s death?A. He’d had a heart attack before he fell.B. He broke his neck in the fall.C. He was attacked by a cat.D. the cause of Punkinhead’s death is unknown.80. Which of the following things were NOT what Sunshine did to comfort Snowball after thedeath of their kid?A. He kept trying to push Snowball away from her sad situation.B. He flew up to her normal place and stayed there.C. He convinced her to fly up and eat some seeds every so often, while he stood duty in herplace.D. each time she left, he’d quietly place one piece of straw over Punkinhead’s body.Passage 5A number of authers and artists have agreed that their successful works were inspired by dreams.One of the Beatles’ most popular songs came in this way.The entire tune of the song “Yesterday” came to the Beatle member, Paul McCartney, in 1965 when he was asleep. After awake, he immediately played the melody on a keyboard and recorded it. At first he was concerned that he had simply recalled something he’s already heard, but when he asked around nobody recognized it.Then, lyrics were needed. Initially, the only words that cross McCartney’s mind for this dreamt melody were “Sceambled eggs, oh my baby how I love your legs”. Somehow that didn’t seem right. McCarrney went on holiday to Portugal and came back with a new set of words that were to become world famous.This was 1965, Paul McCartney was 22 and the Beatles had already become an incredible phenomenon, though their fame would increase. Crowded fans, screaming girls and huge record sales were parts of these men’s daily life. But their fame was not recogni zed by everyone in the country, particularly with the upper class. In 1963 when the Beatles first met Marlene Dietrich, the famous German-born American actress who performed in films like The Blue Angel and Shanghai Expres s, Dietrich simply said,“What are those? They look like monkeys with all that hair. Howterrible!” It was explained to Dietrich that the Beatles were a new hit and adored by the youth audience. It was also suggested to her that it would creat a stir if she were to be photographed with them. Dietrich was reluctant, but allowed a message to be sent to the Fab Four that she would like meet them.The resulting photo was published all over the world: the Legend and the soon-to-become-legends. And the telecast of the show was seen by an estimated 26,000,000 viewers, which helped caused a change in Marlene Dietrich’s attitude. She announced to her daughter and anyone else who would listen: “I asked them for autographs for my grandchildren—and they said all they wanted was a picture taken with me! So of course I said yes. They were geniuses!”81. What is the dilemma that _____.A. people talk aloud about them while traveling on trainsB. people don’t know what is private and what is publicC. people talk aloud about them while walking through parksD. people chat on their cell phones in public places82 How many people have used their cell phones for an emergency situation, according to thesurvey?A. 74%B. 41%C. 84%D. 22%83. How do people react to ruder cell phone users?A. They are irritated.B. They stare and make criticismC. They feel annoyed.D. All the above.84. Who are more likely to be dishonest about where they are when suing a cell phone?A. Older users.B. Younger usersC. Male users.D. Female users.85. Besides being a tool of communication, the cell phone is becoming _____A. a radio to listen toB. a mobile toyC. a wall paperD. an expression of fashionPassage 6Since the beginning of the Internet era, it has been widely accepted that when you join an online company, whatever data you put into it belongs to you.That means you can sign up for one kind of email, import your contacts into that system, and if you later decide to switch to some other email service, you can export all your contacts from the first service into the new one. You can use Microsoft’s Hotmail, then move to Yahoo Mai, then t o Google’s Gmail. Or you can have accounts on three services and keep all your contacts in each one.That’s the way things were — until Facebook appeared. Facebook took a different approach Until recently, everything you put into Facebook could not be exported anywhere. In effect, youdidn’t own your data. Facebook did.Of course this is rubbish. The reality is that Facebook wants to make it difficult, if not impossible, for you to leave.Now that policy has sparked a fight between Google and Facebook. Google is angry because its users can, and often do, export their Gmail contact information into Facebook. But those people can’t bring Facebook information back into Gmail.Earlier this month Google declared it would block exports of its data to Facebook. In a shameless move, Facebook broke through Google’s roadblock so its users could keep pulling data from Google.Google said it was “disappointed” with Facebook’s behavior. It also created a warning screen to tell Gmail users that if t hey export their information to Facebook they won’t get it back.Basically, Facebook’s position with major IT companies is this: if you want access to all the information we’ve collected, strike a deal with us. Microsoft and Yahoo have done that, and now, like magic, they can export Facebook contact information into their systems, while Google still can’t.Remember the early days of the Net, when everything was going to be open and flee? That was great until people realized that their user data could be turned into gold. Now there are billions involved, and nobody is playing nice anymore.86. Before Facebook appeared, people_______.A. had a limited number of accountsB. enjoyed a completely free serviceC. had limited access to their contactsD. enjoyed full ownership of their data87. It seems that Facebook’s approach makes the writer rather_______.A. annoyedB. assuredC. puzzledD. pleased88. Google is angry with Facebook due to the latter’s refusal to_______.A. let its users use GmailB. offer technical supportC. share user informationD. protect user information89. The passage indicates that Microsoft and Yahoo have______.A. agreed to side with GoogleB. accepted Facebook’s termsC. taken their own approachesD. struck a deal with each other90. According to the writer, the current state of the Net is_______.A. misleadingB.frustratingC. promisingD. SatisfyingPassage 7。

广西师范大学2015年非英语专业研究生学位英语考试试卷Part I Reading Comprehension (共40分，每小题2分 )Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. At the end of each passage, five questions will be asked about it. You should read the four choices marked A, B, C andD, and decide on the best choice. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneBeing a man has always been dangerous. There are about 105 malesborn for every 100 females. However, this number changes a great deal, and by the age of maturity, the number of young men is about the same as that of young women. And among 70-year old people, there are twice as many women as men. But this great universal truth is changing. Now, boy babies survive almost as well as girls do. This means that for the first time there will be too many boys in those crucial years when boys are searching for a mate. What is even more troubling is that the survival of so many boys has removed a chance for natural selection to do its work. Fifty years ago, the chance of a baby surviving depended on its weight. A kilogram too light or too heavy meant almost certain death. Today it makes almost no difference. Since much of the difference in weight is due to genes, a force of change has gone.There is another way to commit evolutionary suicide: stay alive, but have fewer children. Except in some religious communities, very fewwomen have 15 children. Nowadays the number of births, like the age of death, has become average. Most of us have roughly the same number of children. Again, differences between people and the opportunity for natural selection to take advantage of it have disappeared.For us, this means that people will no longer experience thephysical changes that other living things do; our bodies are as perfect as they are ever going to be. Strangely, we have been able to make great advancements without physical change. In the past 100,000 years—even the past 100 years—our lives have been transformedbut our bodies have not. We managed to make such changes because of technology and social systems.Darwin had a phrase to describe those ignorant of the process of change; they "look at living beings like a dog looks at a ship, as at something wholly beyond their comprehension." No doubt we will be shocked at the ugliness of the 20th century way of life. But however amazed future people may be at how far from perfection we were, those future people will look just like us.1. According to the author, what was the danger a man had to face in the past?A. Lack of mates.B. Strong competition.C. Lower chance of living to maturity.D. Genes.2. The sentence "There is another way to commit evolutionary suicide" perhapsmeans _______________________________________.A. there is another way to stop the society from making progressB. you can kill yourself by another meansC. there is another factor to prevent us from evolvingD. we have to find a way to do something3. Women except _______________ are having relatively small numbers ofchildren.A. those who live to be very oldB. those who live in religious communitiesC. those who have the advantage of technologyD. those who live in poor countries4. The author argues that our bodies have stopped evolving because____________________________.A. life has been improved by technological advancementB. the number of female babies has been decliningC. we have reached the highest stage of evolutionD. the difference between wealth and poverty is disappearing5. What is this passage mainly about?A. The change in the numbers of boys and girls.B. Ways of continuing man's evolution.C. The evolution future of nature.D. Human evolution going nowhere.Passage TwoA little noticed change has been taking place in our time-world. The arrival of digital time has been changing the way we act and think. I believe that it has put us to a higher level of anxiety, with greater expectations of efficiency.The old, round, hand-moved time still kept a certain connection tothe natural flow of things, to the roundness of the earth, and to the changes of light and seasons. Old, round time was outside ourselves, far enough removed from us so we could ignore it if we so chose.It is not so with digital time, which is a beat. It beats instead of turning. It makes a sound like the sound of the heart and thus placesitself smoothly into the body. More and more, we mistake its regularbeat for our own, thus mistaking the demands of the world for our wishes.Before wrist watches, time used to live in towers in the centers of towns. At that distance, it could be seen by everybody, but only if they so wished. It took an effort, an actual visit to "time". But then something happened. Time began to live with us, and now it is beginningto live in us.I remember what it was like to be a child, absorbed in the endlessly changeable thing of time. For me there was only child time, divided meaninglessly and quite painfully by the orders of the parents into Bedtime, Wakeup Time, and School Time. But within each of thosedivisions, Eternity (永恒) still ruled. Later, of course, theymanaged to infect me with the anxious demands of clock time. Very soon, all that remained was the anxiety of that which was exact. The fast beats of the timepiece cut Eternity to pieces.Occasionally, I stop long enough to recall the times of childhood, but not often enough. Like everybody else, I am helpless before the new technologies. Time is a virus, and it is growing stronger.6. Digital time has changed how we act and think by____________________.A. allowing us to work with more efficiencyB. giving us more time to do what we likeC. causing us to be more anxiousD. having us expect more of others7. The author thinks that the old clocks ____________________.A. are somehow linked with the seasonal changesB. stay closer to people than a digital watchC. are connected with human's handsD. work better than a wrist watch8. Before watches, clocks were located __________________.A. everywhere for everyone to seeB. wherever a person wishedC. on the wristD. in the center of town9. In the author's early childhood memory, _________________.A. time was a concrete thingB. time seemed to have no endC. he fought against his parents' idea of timeD. he enjoyed the anxiety of precision (精确)10. The author's attitude towards time in the modern world is____________.A. positiveB. unclearC. negativeD. in the middlePassage ThreeWhy is it that the more connected we get, the more disconnected I feel? Every advance in communications technology is a step back from the closeness of human interaction. With email and instant messaging over the Internet, we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another. With voice mail, you can conduct entire conversations without ever reaching anyone. If my mom has a question, I just leave the answer on her machine.As almost every imaginable contact between human beings becomes automatic by machine, the alienation quotient goes up. You can't even call a person to get the phone number of another person anywhere. Phone assistance is almost always fully automatic by machine. Pumping gas at the station? Why say good morning to theworker when you can use your credit card at the pump and save yourself the bother of human contact? Placing money at the bank? Whytalk to a clerk who might live in the neighborhood when you can just put your credit card into the ATM?Pretty soon you won't have the hard task of making eye contact atthe grocery store. Some grocery chains are using a self-scanner so youcan check yourself out, avoiding those annoying clerks who look at youand ask how you are doing.11. The effect of increased communication technology is ____________.A. the retreat of human closenessB. the lack of care for neighborsC. the saving of more free timeD. the advance of our contacts12. If his mom has a question, he will ____________.A. find new ways to reach herB. send her an email messageC. try to get her a voice machineD. answer through voice mail13. Judging from the context, the word "alienation" (Line 2,Paragraph 2) means___________.A. relationshipB. closenessC. strangenessD. stress14. ATMs in banks have changed life by __________.A. making it more difficult to want human contactB. making it faster to receive money from banksC. making it easier to obtain bank credit cardsD. making it unnecessary to talk with bank clerks15. The writer's attitude toward advances in communications technology may bedescribed as _______________.A. unconcernedB. criticalC. positiveD. uninterestedPassage FourDramatic changes in higher education are giving more people thanever the chance of studying for a degree. But they may find many difficulties when it comes to new graduates' job prospects.According to a report from the Institute of Manpower Studies, the output of graduates in Britain has almost doubled in the past five years and seems set to rise by a further 57 per cent by 2005. At the same time, economic recession has cut the number of graduate jobs such that one in seven (14 per cent) of 2002 university graduates in England, Scotlandand Wales failed to find work within six months ofgraduating. So is it surprising that many graduates have turned to post-graduate studies as an escape route? In the 10 years to 2001, the number of students on master's courses grew by 97 per cent. But whilesuch courses in mathematics and computer sciences rose by 149 per cent, science courses increased by only 31 per cent.The growth in the number of science students has not been evenly spread out, and in some subjects numbers are actually falling. "What is disturbing," says Richard Pearson, the director of the Institute of Manpower Studies, "is that the output of physics graduates will go down by 6 per cent and mathematicians by 4 per cent by 1995." Students are now more attracted to business studies and combined non-technical degree courses than to single honors degrees in science and technology. The day when there are no physics teachers to be found may yet return.16. What's the main focus of the above passage?A. There are more chances for students to get degrees.B. The students' job future remains bleak.C. Many students turn to postgraduate studies.D. More graduates meet with less job offers.17. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Graduates in Britain have almost doubled in the past five years and will riseto 57 per cent by 2005.B. One out of seven graduates from universities in England, Scotland and Waleswas jobless within six months after graduation.C. From 1991 to 2001, the number of students on master's degree courses roseby 97 per cent.D. Mathematics and computer courses grew by 149 per cent and science coursesby only 31 per cent.18. What concerned Richard Pearson, the director of the Institute of ManpowerStudies?A. He's worried about the lack of combined non-technical degree courses.B. He's worried about the job prospects of science students.C. He's concerned about the uneven spread of science students.D. He's concerned about the drop in the number of technical courses.19. What's the overall tendency when it comes to course preference among students?A. They tend to choose business courses.B. They prefer mathematics to physics.C.

In the future, universities will teach at least one thing we do not teach today: the art of self-discovery. There is nothing more fundamental in education. We turn out students from our universities who know how to give answers, but not how to ask questions. Our students do not come in contact with the centers of wisdom in our culture. They leave universities with skills for the workplace, but with no knowledge of how to live, or what living is for. They are not taught how to see. They are not taught how to listen. They are not taught the great art of obedience, and how it precedes self-mastery.42. Reading is not simply an intellectual pursuit but an emotional and spiritual one. It lights the candle in the hurricane lamp of self; that’s why it survives. There are bookclubs and book Web sites and books on tape and books online. There are still millions of people who like the paper version, at least for now. And if that changes----well, what is a book, really?Part IV Writing (共25 分)Directions: For this part, you are required to write a composition on the topic: Jobsfor Graduates.
