Yes, that college tuition bill is bigger this year.

Confirming what students and their parents already knew, an influential education think tank (智囊机构) says that states are passing along their budget woes (因难) to public university students and their families. Tuitions are rising by double digits in some states, while the amount of state funded student aid is dropping.

The result, says the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education in San Jose, Calif., is "the worst fiscal news for public higher education institutions and their students in at least a decade."

Although incomes are rising by only 1% to 2% in most states, tuition at four-year public schools leapt by 24% in Massachusetts, 20% in Texas and 7% nationally since the 2001-2002 school year, the center says.

State budget deficits (预算赤字) are the cause. Nationally, states spend about 48% of their revenue on education, or about ＄235 billion in 2001 for kindergarten through college, says the National Governors Association. Elementary and secondary education budgets are protected in many state constitutions, which means they are generally the last expense that states will cut. But higher education is vulnerable to budget cuts--and tuition increases: After all, no one has to go to college.

Colleges and universities "have clients they can charge," says the National Center's president, Patrick M. Callan. Tuition "is the easiest money to get," he adds.

The pressure to raise tuition is particularly intense because states froze or even cut state university tuition during the 1990s. With its eye on the knowledge-driven economic boom, the University of Virginia cut tuition by 20% in 1999. This year, although per-capita income grew by less than 1% in Virginia, the state raised tuition at its four-year colleges by 9% and cut student aid by 8%, about ＄10 million.

The rising cost of public education, and the fear that it is financially squeezing some students out of an education, have prompted some state universities to adopt a practice long used by private schools to attract students: tuition discounting. In tuition discounting, colleges turn around a share of the tuition paid by some students, and use it to pay for scholarships for others. Private colleges typically return ＄35 to ＄45 in scholarships for every ＄100 they collect in tuition revenue. But until recently, states have viewed discounting as politically unpopular.

There are a few steps students and their families can take to offset rising tuitions, but not many. Because colleges are always interested in raising academic quality, talented students can pit one college against another in hopes of raising their financial-aid offer. Some colleges now invite students to call and renegotiate their aid packages if they get a better offer from another institution.

College education becomes costlier because______.

A．the state-funded student aid is increased

B．the budgets for elementary and secondary education are increased

C．colleges can no longer depend on states for fund

D．higher education budget will get cut by states

HELPING INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS MAKE FRIENDS

One study in the United States found that thirty- eight percent of foreign students said they had no close American friends.

Elisabeth Gare is teaches in the Department of Comunication Studies at Baruch College in NewYork. She says efforts on how to improve relationships between foreign and American students have yet to be studied in detail. But she says these efforts should begin with the college or university, and that these institutions have been working harder.

Ms.Gare is suggests that students should be encouraged to take part in different activities,such as taking walks, going on bike rides, field or camping trips, and attending parties,sporting events or film festivals. She says such activities should be held repeatedly through out the school term to bring students together. She al so suggests that foreign students share housing with American students.

She says if the new students make friends as they begin school, they will come to feel part of the life and traditions of the university, as well as create long lasting friendships throughout their university career.(判断)

1.A study showed that 38% foreign students had many close American friends.

2.Universities have been working on improving the relationships between foreign and Americanstudents.

3.Ms. Gareis thinks taking part in some activities is a good way to improve the relationship.

4.Ms.Gareis says the activities shouldn’t be held repeatedly throughout the term.

5.Making friends when they begin school is helpful for the students to create long lasting friendships.

仔细阅读1：More than a decade ago, cognitive scientists John Bransfgord and Daniel Schwartz

More than a decade ago, cognitive scientists John Bransfgord and Daniel Schwartz, both then at Vanderbilt University, found that knowledge to a new situation but a quality was not the ability to retain facts or apply prior knowledge to a new situation but a quality they called "preparation for future learning." The researches asked fifth graders and college students to create a recovery plan to protect bald eagles from extinction. Shockingly, the two groups came up with plans of similar quality (through the college students had better spelling skills). From the standpoint of a traditional educator, this outcome indicated that schooling had failed to help students think about ecosystems and extinction, major scientific ideas.

The researches decided to go deeper, however. They asked both groups to generate questions about important issues needed to create recovery plans. On this task, they found large differences. College students focused on critical issues of interdependence between eagles("How big are they？" and "What do they eat？"). The college students had cultivated the ability to ask questions, the cornerstone of critical thinking. They had learned how to learn.

Museums and other institutions of informal learning may be better suited to teach this skill than elementary and secondly schools. At the Exploratorium in San Francisco, we recently studied how learning to ask good questions can affect the quality of people's scientific inquiry We found that when we taught participants to ask "What if？" and "How can？" questions that nobody present would know the answer to and that would spark exploration, they engaged in better inquiry at the next exhibit-asking more questions, performing more experiments and making better interpretations of their results. Specially, their questions became more comprehensive at the new exhibit. Rather than merely asking about something they wanted to try, they tended to include both cause and effect in their question. Asking juicy questions appears to be a transferable skill for deepening collaborative inquiry into the science content found in exhibits.

This type of learning is not confined to museums of institutional settings. Informal learning environment tolerate failure better than schools. Perhaps many teachers have too little time to allow students to form. and pursue their own questions and too much ground to cover in the curriculum. But people must acquire this skill somewhere. Our society depend on them being able to make critical decisions about their own medical treatment, says, or what we must do about global energy needs and demands. For that, we have a robust informal system that gives no grades, takes all comers, and is available even on holidays and weekends.

56.What is traditional educators' interpretation of the search outcome mentioned in the first paragraph？

A.Students are not able to apply prior knowledge to new problems

B.College students are no better than fifth graders in memorizing issues.

C.Education has not paid enough attention to major environmental issues.

D.Educated has failed to lead students to think about major scientific ideas.

57.In what way are college students different from children？

A.They have learned to think critically

B.They are concerned about social issues

C.They are curious about specific features.

D.They have learned to work independently

58.What is benefit of asking questions with no ready answers？

A.It arouse students' interest in things around them.

B.It cultivates students' ability to make scientific inquiries.

C.It trains students' ability to design scientific experiments.

D.It helps students realize not every question has an answer

59.What is said to be the advantage of informal learning？

A.It allows for failures

B.It is entertaining

C.It charges no tuition

D.It meets practical need.

60.What does author seem to encourage educators to do at the end of the passage？

A.Train students to think about global issues.

B.Design more interactive classroom activities.

C.Make full use of informal learning resources.

D.Include collaborative inquiry in the curriculum.

1 The case for college has been accepted without question for more than a generation. All

high school graduates ought to go, says conventional wisdom and statistical evidence, because college will help them earn more money, become "better" people, and learn to be more responsible citizens than those who don't go.

2 But college has never been able to work its magic for everyone. And now that close to half our high school graduates are attending, those who don't fit the pattern are becoming more numerous, and more obvious. College graduates are selling shoes and driving taxis; college students interfere with each other's experiments and write false letters of recommendation in intense competition for admission to graduate school. Others find no stimulation in their studies, and drop out—often encouraged by college administrators.

3 Some observers say the fault is with the young people themselves—they are spoiled and they are expecting too much. But that's a condemnation of the students as a whole, and doesn't explain all campus unhappiness. Others blame the state of the world, and they are partly right. We've been told that young people have to go to college because our economy can't absorb an army of untrained eighteen-year-olds. But disappointed graduates are learning that it can no longer absorb an army of trained twenty-two-year-olds, either.

4 Some adventuresome educators and watchers have openly begun to suggest that college may not be the best, the proper, the only place for every young person after the completion of high school. We may have been looking at all those surveys and statistics upside down, it seems, and through the rosy glow of our remembered college experiences. Perhaps college doesn't make people intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, or quick to learn things—maybe it's just the other way around, and intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, quick-learning people are merely ones who have Been attracted to college in the first place. And perhaps all those successful college graduates would have been successful whether they had gone to college or not. This is heresy to those of us who have been brought up to believe that if a little schooling is good, more has to be much better. But contrary evidence is beginning to mount up.

By "fit the pattern" (in Para. 2) the author means that ______.

A．college graduates earn more money

B．college graduates are morally sounder

C．college graduates are more liberal

D．all of the above

Silent Listening

If something bad just happened (happen) to your friend, what would you do？ Would you mention it to him and say you feel sorry about it？ Would you offer support or advice？ According to Ruth Clark, such 41 (treat) could mean well, but it might not be what he 42 (real) wants or needs.

Clark asked some college students to imagine some 43 (pleasant) situations, e.g., a low exam grade or the dad’s 44 (lose) of his job.The students were then 45 (ask) how they would like to be treated by a friend who learned of the bad situation from someone else.The results were a little 46 (surprise).Some said they would want and expect their friend to mention the 47 (annoy) situation, but most of the students in the study 48 (respond) that they would like the friend not to do it.The students made the 49 (decide) for themselves whether to discuss their problem with a friend.So, there is value in being a silent 50 (listen) around a troubled friend.

The True Story of a Young ManWhen Reginald Lindsay received a scholarship to Morehouse C

The True Story of a Young Man

When Reginald Lindsay received a scholarship to Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia, what he wanted most was a good job with a good salary. But soon he became interested in the civil rights movement. At present he has a plan which he hopes will take him to Congress as a southern representative.Now in his first year at Harvard Law School, Reg is making careful plans. After earning his degree, he expects to return to the South to practice law among the poor. "I want to help them understand what their rights are and to help them achieve them," he says. Then he hopes to run for political office at the local and state level until he is ready to try for Congress.Reg grew up in a low-income Negro section of Birmingham, Alabama. Brought up by his grandparents after his parents were divorced while he was very young, Reg has been living through a period of far-reaching progress in race relations. In the summer of 1968 Reg himself became a good example of this progress when he became the first Negro student appointed to a special new program. The program introduces bright young students to the workings of the Georgia State government and encourages them to seek employment there after finishing their education. "I've been lucky," he says. "I seem to have been in the right place at the right time."

But luck is only part of Reg's story, for he has made the most of opportunities that came his way. He learned to read in kindergarten and began visiting the public library regularly to borrow books. His grandparents encouraged him, though neither of them had much education, and they bought him a set of encyclopedias. "I loved those books," he re- members. "I used to come downstairs before breakfast and read short articles. I enjoyed reading about famous men, and then I would pretend to be one of them. I guess it was partly a childish game and partly an escape. It wasn't too much fun to be a Negro when I was a kid."

While studying for his bachelor's degree at Morehouse College, Reg worked on several political campaigns helping candidates get elected to government offices. At the same time he maintained a "B" average while majoring in political science. He worked as a student advisor to earn extra money for his college expenses, and he was granted a scholarship for a year of study at the University of Valencia in Spain.With just two more years to complete at Harvard Law School, which also gave him a scholarship, Reg has made a good start on his professional career. He says, "The good life for me is the kind of life where I can find satisfaction in public service."

Creative Destruction of Higher EducationA．Higher education is one of the great successes o

Creative Destruction of Higher Education

A．Higher education is one of the great successes of the welfare country．What was once the privilege of a few has become a middle-class entitlement， thanks mainly to government support．Some 3．5 million Americans and 5 million Europeans will graduate this summer．In the modem world universities are developing rapidly: China has added nearly 30 million places in 20 years．Yet the business has changed little since Aristotle taught at the Athenian Lyceum （雅典学园）: young students still gather at a specific time and place to listen to the wisdom of scholars．

B．At present， a revolution has begun， thanks to three forces: rising costs， changing demand and new technology．The result will be the complete change of the university．While the prices of cars， computers and much else have greatly fallen， tmiversities have been able to charge ever more for the same service because they are protected by public funding and the high value employers place on degrees．For two decades the cost of going to college in America has risen by 1．6 percentage points more than inflation every year．

C．For most students， the university remains a great deal．The total lifetime income from obtaining a college degree， in net-present-value （净现值） terms， can increase as much as $ 590，000．But an increasing number of students have gone deep into debt， especially the 47% in America and 28% in Britain who do not complete their course．As for them， the degree by no means values for that sum of money．And the government becomes more and more unwilling to fund the university．In America government funding per student fell by 27% between 2007 and 2012， while average tuition fees， adjusted for inflation， rose by 20%．In Britain， tuition fees close to zero two decades ago can reach $15，000 a year．

D．The second factor resulting in change is the labor market．In the standard model of higher education， people go to university in their 20s．A degree is an entry ticket to the professional classes．But automation is beginning to have the same effect on white-collar jobs as it has on blue- collar ones．According to a study from Oxford University，47% of occupations are at risk of being automated in the next few decades．As innovation wipes out some jobs and changes others， people will need to top up their human capital all through their lives．

E．By themselves， these two forces would be pushing change．A third——technology——ensures it．The internet， which has turned businesses from newspapers through music to book sale upside down， will turn over higher education．Now the MOOC， or "Massive Open Online Course"， is offering students the chance to listen to star lecturers and get a degree for a fraction of the cost of attending

a university．MOOCs started in 2008 ; however， they have so far failed to live up to their promise．Largely because there is no formal system of accreditation （认证）， drop-out rates have been high．But this is changing as private investors and existing universities are drawn in．One provider，Coursera， claims over 8 million registered users．Though its courses are free， it received its first $1 million in incomes last year after introducing the option to pay a fee of between $ 30 and $100 to have course results certified．Another， Udacity， has teamed up with AT&T and Georgia Tech to offer an online master"s degree in computing， at less than a third of the cost of the traditional version．Harvard Business School will soon offer an online "pre-MBA" for $1，500．Starbucks has offered to help pay for its staff to take online degrees with Arizona State University．

F．MOOCs will destroy different universities in different ways．Not all will suffer．Oxford and Harvard could benefit．People of great ambition will always want to go to the best universities to meet each other， and the digital economy tends to favor a few large institutions in charge of its operation．The big names will be able to sell their Moocs around the world．But ordinary universities may suffer the fate of many newspapers．Were the market for higher education to perform. in future as that for newspapers has done over the past decade or two， universities" incomes would fall by more than haft， employment in the industry would drop by nearly 30% and more than 700 institutions would shut their doors．The rest would need to adjust themselves to survive．

G．Like all revolutions， the one taking place in higher education will have victims．Many towns and cities rely on universities．In some ways MOOCs will further make the difference both among students and among teachers．The talented students will be much more comfortable than the weaker outside the structured university environment．Superstar lecturers will earn a fortune， to the anger of their less charming colleagues．

H．Politicians will come under pressure to halt this revolution．They should remember that state spending should benefit society as a whole， not protect professors from competition．The change of universities will benefit many more people than it hurts．Students in the rich world will have access to higher education at lower cost and greater convenience．The flexible nature of MOOCs appeals to older people who need training．EdX， another provider， says that the average age of its online students in America is 31．In the modern world online courses also offer a way for countries like Brazil to go ahead Western ones and supply higher education"much more cheaply．And education has now become a global market: the Massachusetts Institute of Technology discovered Battushig Myanganbayar， a remarkably talented Mongolian teenager， through an online electronics course．

I．Rather than maintaining the old model， governments should make the new one work better．They can do so by supporting common standards for accreditation．In Brazil， for instance， students completing courses take a governmentrun exam．In most Western countries it would likewise make sense to have a single， independent organization that certifies exams．Changing an ancient institution will not be easy．But it does promise better education for many more people．Rarely have need and opportunity so neatly come together．

The introduction of automation affects the labor demand and then brings about the revolution of higher education．查看材料

第10题

The signs of the degeneration of American society and of Western civilization are all

too plain: declining educational standards, rising crime, disintegrating families and record rate of suicide among the young.Able-bodied beggars have become a common sight in cities from San Francisco to Washington, as well as in London and Paris.

Murders involving guns in New York City are now more than 30 times what they were half a century ago. Racial polarization has become far more common on college campuses than it was 20 years ago, and separate living arrangements have been created by college administrators who nevertheless proclaim their devotion to"diversity".

Official irresponsibility in Washington is symbolized by the soaring national debt-during a decade when government revenues doubled. And the new tax increases will not reduce this debt by one penny because spending has not been cut but simply renamed"investment."

Worst of all, much of the degeneracy of our times is not merely tolerated but celebrated. The crude words of“rap” music have beensanctified in editorial columns and by PhD.s at respected universities.Multiple murderers are mourned at their executions. An accused child molester (骚扰儿童者) on the Stanford University faculty has a medal struck in his honor after he commits suicide when confronted with the charges.

Despite a long history of struggle by blacks for better education, it has now become common in ghetto schools for those black youngsters who excel academically to be denounced for“acting white”--and to face social exclusion, or even physical violence, from their classmates.

The barbarians are not at the gates. They are inside.

1.According to the author, college administrators().

A.should not be blamed for racial discrimination

B.have successfully implemented satisfactory living arrangements for the students

A.People’s moral values are confused

B.people are generally irresponsible

C.young people are no longer ambitious

D.legal system is too lenient for criminals

4.The word"sanctified" in the fourth paragraph most likely means().

D.approved

5.From the fifth paragraph we can see that().

A.black children now receive better education

B.black children do better academically than white children

第11题

Since World War II, there has been a clearly discernible trend, especially among the growi

ng group of college students, toward early marriage. Many youths begin dating in the first stages of adolescence, "go steady" through high school, and marry before their formal education has been completed. In some quarters, there is much shaking of graying locks and clucking of middle-aged tongues over the ways of "wayward youth". However, emotional maturity is no respecter of birthdays; it does not arrive automatically at twenty-one or twenty five. Some achieve it surprisingly early, while others never do, even in three-score years and ten.

Many students are marrying as an escape, not only from an unsatisfying home life, but also from their own personal problems of isolation and loneliness. And it can almost be put down as a dictum that any marriage entered into as an escape cannot prove entirely successful. The sad fact is that marriage seldom solves one' s problems; more often, it merely accentuates them. Furthermore, it is doubtful whether the home as an institution is capable of carrying all that the young are seeking to put into it; one might say in theological terms, that they are forsaking one idol only to worship another. Young people correctly understand that their parents are wrong in believing that "success" is the ultimate good, but they erroneously believe that they themselves have found the true center of life' s meaning. Their expectations of marriage are essentially utopian and therefore incapable of fulfillment. They want too much, and tragic disillusionment is often bound to follow.

Shall we, then join, the chorus of "Miseries" over early marriages？ One cannot generalize: all early marriages are not bad any more that all later ones are good. Satisfactory marriages are determined not by chronology, but by the emotional maturity of the partners. Therefore, each case must be judged on its own merits. If the early marriage is not an escape, if it is entered into with relatively few illusions or false expectations, and if it is economically feasible, why not？ Good marriages can be made from sixteen to sixty, and so can bad ones.

According to this passage, the trend toward early marriages______.

A．can be clearly seen

B．is the result of the Great Depression of the 30' s

C．can' t be easily determined

D．is an outgrowth of the moral looseness brought about by World War II
