Not all will be saved, and perhaps not all deserve to be saved. There are low-quality schools just as there are low-quality businesses. We have no obligation to same them simply because they exist.But many thriving institutions that deserve to continue are threatened. They are doing a fine job educationally, but they are caught in a financial squeeze, with now way to reduce rising cost or increase revenues significantly. Raising tuition doesnt bring in more revenue, for each time tuition goes up, the enrollment goes down, or the amount that must be given away in student aid goes up. Schools are bad businesses, whether public or private, not usually because of mismanagement but because of the nature of the enterprise. They lose money on every customer, and they can go bankrupt either from too few students or too many students. Even a very good college is a very bad business.It is such colleges, thriving but threatened, I worry about low enrollment is not their chief problem. Even with full enrollments, they may go under. Effects to save them and preferably to keep them private, are national necessities. There is no basis for arguing that private schools are inherently better than public schools. Examples to the contrary abound. Anyone can name state universities and colleges that rank as the finest in the nation and the world. It is now inevitable that public institutions will be dominant, and therefore diversity is a national necessity. Diversity in the way we support schools tends to give us a healthy diversity in the forms of education. In an imperfect society such as ours, uniformity of education throughout the nation could be dangerous. In an imperfect society, diversity is a positive good . Ardent supporters of public higher education know the importance of sustaining private higher education.1.In the authors opinion, schools are bad business because of （ ）.2.The author used the phrase “go under” in the third paragraph to mean （ ）.3.We have reasonably conclude from the passage that the author made an appeal to the public in order to support（ ）.4.Which of the following is not mentioned?问题1选项A.mismanagementB.too few studentsC.too many studentsD.the nature of schools问题2选项A.get into difficultiesB.have low enrollmentC.have low tuitionD.bring in more money问题3选项A.public institutionsB.private schoolsC.uniformity of educationD.equality of education问题4选项A.High-quality private schools deserve to be saved.B.If the tuition is raised, the enrollment goes down.C.There are many cases that public schools are better than private schools.D.Private schools have more money than public schools.【答案】第1题:D第2题:A第3题:D第4题:D【解析】1.判断推理题。从文章第二段倒数第三句Schools are bad businesses, whether public or private, not usually because of mismanagement but because of the nature of the enterprise. 可知，不论是公立还是私立，经营学校都是一件失败的生意，这不总是因为管理不善，而是因为办企业的本质。再根据文章下一句“They lose money on every customer, and they can go bankrupt either from too few students or too many students. 学校在每一位消费者身上都会赔钱，太少或者太多的生源都会迫使学校走向破产。所以说学校是一桩赔本的买卖是由学校的本质所决定的。D选项正确。2.判断推理题。根据文章第三段前两句 “It is such colleges, thriving but threatened, I worry about low enrollment is not their chief problem. Even with full enrollments, they may go under. 正是这样的大学，欣欣向荣却岌岌可危，我担心入学率低并不是他们的首要问题。即使是全额注册，他们也可能会倒闭。”确定第三段讲述的是学校是如何入不敷出、经营不善的。A选项符合题意。3.判断推理题。根据文章最后一段倒数第五句和倒数第二句“In an imperfect society, diversity is a positive good. It is now inevitable that public institutions will be dominant, and therefore diversity is a national necessity. 在一个不完美的社会里，多样化是一件积极的好事。公共机构将占主导地位，这是不可避免的，因此多样化是国家的需要。”确定作者并不倾向于哪一种性质的学校，他提倡的是教育的多样性，即教育的平等性。D选项符合题意。4.判断推理题。从第一段第二、三句 “Not all will be saved, and perhaps not all deserve to be saved. There are low-quality schools just as there are low-quality businesses. 不是每一所学校都能被拯救，也不是每一所学校都值得呗拯救。质量低劣的学校就像经营不善的生意一样存在着。” 推断A选项只有那些办学质量高的学校才值得被拯救正确；根据文章第二段第三句“for each time tuition goes up, the enrollment goes down因为每一次伴随着学费的升高，入学率 就会下降”推断B选项如果学费上涨，入学率就会下降。正确。再根据文章第三段第四、五、六句“There is no basis for arguing that private schools are inherently better than public schools. Examples to the contrary abound. Anyone can name state universities and colleges that rank as the finest in the nation and the world. 没有理由说私立学校天生就比公立学校好，相反的例子比比皆是。任何人都能说出美国和世界上最好的州立大学和学院的名字。”推断C选项有的公立学校的办学质量好于私立学校正确；D选项说私立学校比公立学校更有钱的说法文章中没有提到。所以本题选D。11. 单选题When you prepare for your speech, be sure to cite（ ） qualified sources of information and examples.问题1选项A.unbiasedB.manipulatedC.distortedD.conveyed【答案】A【解析】词义辨析题。A选项unbiased“公正的，无偏见的”；B选项manipulated“操作”；C选项distorted“扭曲的”；D选项conveyed“传达”。句意：当你准备你的演讲时，一定要引用公正的、合格的信息来源和例子。选项A符合句意。12. 单选题If you（ ）someone, you feel great admiration and love for them.问题1选项A.advocateB.adjoinC.adoreD.addict【答案】C【解析】动词辨析题。A选项advocate“拥护”；B选项adjoin“毗邻，连接”；C选项adore“崇拜，爱慕”；D选项addict“沉迷”。句意：如果你崇拜一个人，你会钦佩和爱戴他。根据下文的“admiration and love”可知选项C最为恰当。13. 单选题Excellent films are those which（ ）national and cultural barriers.问题1选项A.transcendB.traverseC.abolishD.suppress【答案】A【解析】动词辨析题。A选项transcend“胜过，超越”；B选项traverse“穿过；C选项 abolish“废除，取消”；D选项suppress“抑制”。句意：优秀的电影是那些超越国家和文化障碍的电影。选项A符合句意。14. 单选题In general , the（ ）amount that a student spends for housing should be held to one-fifth of the total for living expenses.问题1选项A.acceptableB.advisableC.availableD.applicable【答案】C【解析】形容词辨析题。A选项acceptable“可接受的”；B选项advisable“明智的”；C选项available“可获得的”；D选项applicable“可应用的”。句意：一般来说，学生在住房上的花费应控制在可支配的生活费的五分之一以内。available其后常接介词for或to构成形容词短语，作后置定语。所以选项C正确。15. 单选题Despite warnings from his parents and teacher, Stevenson is （ ）to computer games.问题1选项A.activatedB.adheredC.addictedD.appealed【答案】C【解析】动词辨析题。A选项activate to“激活”；B选项adhere to“坚持，依附”；C选项addict to“沉迷于”；D选项appeal to“呼吁，吸引”。句意：尽管父母和老师已经警告过他，但史蒂文森仍然沉迷于电脑游戏。选项C符合语境。16. 单选题As a lawyer（ ）for his good judgment and eloquence, he is often invited to those grand banquets and meets those distinguished people from all circles.问题1选项A.notoriousB.notableC.nastyD.notified【答案】B【解析】形容词辨析题。A选项notorious“声名狼藉的，臭名昭著的”；B选项notable“显著的，著名的”；C选项nasty“极差的，恶意的”；D选项notified“通知”。句意：作为一个以良好的判断力和口才著称的律师，他经常被邀请参加那些盛大的宴会，会见来自各界的杰出人士。选项B符合句意。17. 单选题The energy crisis, which is being felt around the world, has dramatized how the careless use of the earths resources has brought the whole world to the brink of disaster. The over development of motor transport, with its increase of more cars, more highways, more pollution, more suburbs, more commuting, has contributed to the near destruction of our cities. The disaster has arrived in the form of the energy crisis.Our present situation is unlike war, revolution or depression. Worldwide resources exploitation and energy use have brought us to a state where long range planning is essential. What we need is not a continuation of our present serious state, which endangers the future of our country, our children, and our earth, but a movement forward to a new norm in order to work rapidly and effectively on planetary problems.This country has been falling back under the continuing exposures of loss of morality and the revelation that lawbreaking has reached into the highest places in the land. There is a strong demand for moral revival and for some devotion that is vast enough and yet personal enough to enlist the devotion of all. In the past it has been only in a way of defense of their own country and their own ideals that any people have been able to devote themselves wholeheartedly.This is the first time that we have been asked to defend ourselves and what we hold dear in cooperation with all the other inhabitants of this planet, who share with us the same endangered air and the same endangered oceans. There is a common need to reassess our present course, to change that course and to devise new methods through which the world can survive. This is a priceless opportunity.To grasp it we need a widespread understanding of nature if the crisis confronting usand the worldis a crisis that is no passing inconvenience , no by product of the ambitions of the oil producing countries, no environmentalists mere fears, no by product of any present system of government. What we face is the outcome of the invention of the last four hundred years. What we need is a transformed life style. This new life style can flow directly from science and technology, but its acceptance depends on a sincere devotion to finding a higher quality of life for the worlds children and future generation.1.Which condition does the author feel has nearly destroyed our cities?2.The author in the second paragraph states what we need in our present situation is（ ）.3.According to the author, what is one example of our loss of morality?4.By comparing past problems with present ones, the author draws attention to the（ ） .问题1选项A.Lack of financial planning.B.The breakup of the family.C.Natural disasters in many regions.D.The excessive growth of motors.问题2选项A.a continuation of our present serious stateB.worldwide resources exploitation and energy useC.a movement forward to a new norm to planet research workD.a state where long-range planning is essential to us问题3选项A.Disregard for law.B.Lack of devotion.C.Lack of cooperation.D.Exploitation of resources.问题4选项A.significance of this crisisB.inadequacy of governmentsC.similarity of the past to the presentD.hopelessness of the situation【答案】第1题:D第2题:D第3题:B第4题:A【解析】1.细节事实题。根据第一段第二句“The over development of motor transport, with its increase of more cars, more highways, more pollution, more suburbs, more commuting, has contributed to the near destruction of our cities. 汽车运输的过度发展，伴随着更多的汽车，更多的高速公路，更多的污染，更多的郊区，更多的通勤，已经导致了我们城市的几乎毁灭。”由此可知，导致城市几乎毁灭的是汽车运输的过度发展。选项D选项汽车的过度增长为正确答案。2.细节事实题。从文中第二段的内容和第二句结尾“long range planning is essential长期规划是必不可少的”，推知D项一个长期规划对我们至关重要的状态为正确答案。3.细节事实题。从文中第三段第二句“There is a strong demand for moral revival and for some devotion that is vast enough and yet personal enough to enlist the devotion of allIn the past it has been only in a way in defense of their own country and their own ideals that any people have been able to devote themselves wholeheartedly有一种强烈的要求，要求道德复兴和一些足够广泛但又足够个人的奉献，以争取所有人的奉献。在过去，只有在某种程度上，为了保卫自己的国家和自己的理想，人们才能够全心全意地奉献自己。”由此可知“Lack of devotion”正确，即B项为正确答案。4.判断推理题。从文中的内容推知，作者通过对过去和现在的问题的比较，是想使人们认识到能源危机的重要性，即A项为正确答案。18. 单选题It makes me（ ）when people dont listen, and then ask silly questions.问题1选项A.furiousB.generousC.mysteriousD.suspicious【答案】A【解析】形容词辨析题。A选项 furious“生气的，狂怒的”；B选项generous“慷慨的”；C选项mysterious“神秘的”；D选项suspicious“可疑的”。句意：别人不听，然后问些愚蠢的问题，这让我很生气。选项A符合句意。19. 单选题Most of the rubbish that we usually（ ）of can be recycled.问题1选项A.disposedB.dischargeC.dispatchD.dissolve【答案】A【解析】动词辨析题。A选项dispose“处理，安排”；B选项discharge“释放”；C选项dispatch“派遣”；D选项dissolve“溶解”。句意：我们通常处理的大部分垃圾都可以回收利用。选项A更符合语境。20. 翻译题In this section , there is a passage in English. Translate the passage into Chinese and write your translation on the ANSWER SHEET.Among the annoying challenges facing the middle class is one that will probably go unmentioned in the next presidential campaign: What happens when the robots come for their jobs?Dont dismiss that possibility entirely. About half of U. S. jobs are at high risk of being automated, according to a University of Oxford study, with the middle class disproportionately squeezed. Lower-income jobs like gardening or day care dont appeal to robots. But many middle-class occupations -trucking, financial advice, software engineering-have aroused their interest, or soon will. The rich own the robots, so they will be fine.This isnt to be alarmist. Optimists point out that technological upheaval has benefited workers in the past. The Industrial Revolution didnt go so well for Luddites(反对技术进步者）whose jobs were displaced by mechanized looms , but it eventually raised living standards and created more jobs than it destroyed. Likewise, automation should eventually boost productivity, stimulate demand by driving down prices, and free workers from hard, boring work. But in the medium term, middle-class workers may need a lot of help adjusting.Technology will improve society in ways big or small over the next few years, yet this will be little comfort to those who find their lives and careers upended by automation. Destroying the machines that are coming for our jobs would be nuts. But policies to help workers adapt will be indispensable.【答案】在中产阶级面临的诸多恼人挑战中，有一个很可能在下届总统竞选中会被忽视：当机器人来抢饭碗时会发生什么?不要完全排除这种可能性。牛津大学的一项研究显示，美国约有一半的工作面临着被自动化取代的高风险，中产阶级受到了不成比例的挤压。像园艺或日托这样的低收入工作对机器人没有吸引力。但许多中产阶级的职业-卡车运输、金融咨询、软件工程-已经引起了他们的兴趣，或者很快就会引起他们的兴趣。富人拥有机器人，所以他们会没事的。这不是危言耸听。乐观主义者指出，技术变革在过去曾使工人受益。工业革命对反对技术进步者来说并不那么顺利，他们的工作被机械化的织布机取代了，但工业革命最终提高了生活水平，创造的就业岗位比被摧毁的要多。同样，自动化最终应该会提高生产率，通过压低价格来刺激需求，让工人从繁重、乏味的工作中解脱出来。但从中期来看，中产阶级工人可能需要大量帮助来进行调整。未来几年，技术将大大小小的改善社会，但对于那些发现自己的生活和事业被自动化颠覆的人来说，这并不是什么安慰。摧毁那些为我们工作而来的机器将是疯狂的。但帮助工人适应的政策将是不可或缺的。
