B C and D Choose the right answer for each question Write your answers on the answer sheet Passage 1 Intelligent young people want to go to university and it is logical for a country to provide university places for them to ensure that there will be good trained men and women to run the government and industry in the future So in the 1960s the government set up a number of new universities in Britain to provide everyone with sufficient opportunity to study But now something has gone wrong There is still fierce competition to go to university to study arts and other subjects but many places for scientists are not taken up The new universities concentrated on science because it seemed practical They developed new courses so as not to imitate traditional university education Why have their calculations proved wrong One reason is that a lot of young people can get enough qualifications to work in industry by going to technical school They think university courses are too long and too theoretical But this does not explain why the majority of students still prefer arts subjects to science subjects 41 What is logical according to the first paragraph A Intelligent young people want to go to university B The government should set up universities to train young people for the country C People who run the country should be well trained D University is the place to train young men and women 42 What makes the new universities different from the traditional ones A There are more science subjects in them B There are more arts students in them C Their curriculum is more scientifically planned D They are equipped with more modern facilities 43 What does their calculations par 2 refer to A Their plan to defeat the traditional university education B Their calculations of how many students study science and how many students study arts C Their thought that science is practical D Their assumption that people are willing to study the practical science subjects in the university 44 Which of the following shows the advantage of technical schools over universities correctly A They have more qualified teachers B They have more qualified courses C The students can be qualified to work within a short time D If the students get qualification in technical schools they are more well received by industry 45 Why does the majority of the students prefer to study arts in university A The reason is not clear B The science courses in university are too theoretical C Arts sound nobler than science D The curriculum of science course is not well arranged Passage 2 Most Europeans want small cars Many Americans prefer large cars As a result European auto makers produce a wide variety of economical lightweight cars while American auto makers tend to build bigger heavier cars The price of gasoline has much to do with this Gasoline is expensive in Europe so Europeans naturally prefer cars that will go a long way on a small amount of fuel Other reasons also enter into the big or little car decision Many Old World cities have very narrow winding streets In these cities a small car is more practical and easier to handle than a large one Some Americans like powerful engines in their cars They enjoy having roomy cars that are comfortable for large families and long trips They are prepared to pay higher operating costs to get these advantages Other Americans however have learned to like small nimble cars Many visitors to Europe during and after WW discovered that small cars were fun to drive and easy to park in small spaces They were delighted to learn how far small cars could go on a few gallons of gasoline In the 1950s many Americans began buying European cars In 1953 for the first time the United States imported more cars than it exported The best seller among these imported cars was an odd looking but dependable small car from Germany Americans promptly nicknamed it the bug Today American car buyers have a wide choice There are big cars for people who want elbow room comfort and power And there are small cars mostly imported but some American made for people who want easy parking and economical operation 46 Implied but not stated A All Americans buy European cars B No one wants to drive a powerful car C Small cars are not expensive to run D Americans don t like roomy cars 47 What does the word nimble mean A cheap B beautiful C swift D foreign 48 On the whole the article tells about A parking cars in America B the price of gasoline C the price of roomy cars D big cars and small cars 49 Why do some people want to purchase big cars A They want to have elbow room comfort and power B It is easier to park big cars C They need to make long distance journey D Big cars cost less than small cars 50 Which statement seems true according to the article A Americans are not accustomed to traveling in Europe B People like to choose cars from many choices C People like to buy European cars without any specific reason D No one drives big cars in Old World cities Passage 3 The bath was invented before the bath plug The bath plug could not have been invented before the bath except as a small object with which to play ice hockey The order in which inventions are made is very important much more important than has ever been realized because we tend automatically to think that later inventions are better than earlier

technology can t solve our problems B Everything has two aspects advantages and disadvantages C We should change our usual way of thinking about inventions D Technological innovations do not always mean more benefits 55 What does the word obsolete mean A outdated B slow in movement C ridiculous D awkward IV Blanking filling 1 point for each altogether 10 points Directions Complete each of the

strange since young college students are usually intelligent well educated phenomenon aspirant and eager to bring their talent into full play Then what underlies the strange phenomenon There are several reasons for this To begin with nowadays college students aim too high All they want are good jobs which could offer good salary comfortable working conditions high social status among others Consequently most college students are unwilling to accept vacant jobs they consider not good enough Another reason is that there is a big gap between the majors some students study in school and the demands of vacant jobs So companies think some students are not fit for the jobs Solution to the problem requires efforts on both the society and the students The companies should value the students talent and knowledge while the latter should not merely aim at material gains They should be down to earth in building up their career Furthermore they should face their weak points so as to improve themselves and be more competent 复习范围 Outline 1 In recent years college students find it increasingly difficult to get a job 2 There are several reasons for this 3 Solution to the problem requires
