At 16, I liked nothing better than getting behind the wheel of our Chevy pickup, but this time it made me low in spirits. My father had told me Id have to ask for credit at the store.Sixteen is a prideful age, when a young man wants respect, not charity. It was 1976, and the ugly shadow of racism was still a fact of life. Id seen my friends ask for credit and then stand, head down, while a store owner questioned whether they were “good for it”. I knew black youths just like me were watched like thieves by the store clerk each time they went into a grocery.My family was honest. We paid off our debts. But before harvest, cash was short. Would the store owner trust us?At Davis Brothers General Store, Buck Davis stood behind the register, talking to a middle-aged farmer. When I brought my purchases to the register, I said carefully, “I need to put this on credit.”The farmer gave me a cynical look. But Bucks face didnt change. “Sure,” he said easily. “Your daddy is always good for it.” He turned to the other man. “This here is one of James Williams sons.”The farmer nodded in a friendly way. I was filled with pride. James Williams son. Those three words had opened a door to an adults respect.That day I discovered the good name my father and mother had earned brought our whole family the respect of our neighbors.The desire to keep the respect of a good name urged me to become the first in our family to go to university.

But studying several different subjects in addition to a students chosen major is the main idea behind the liberal arts(文科) education.Critics say liberal arts degrees have less value because they fail to help students find good-paying positions right after college. However, more experts suggest the liberal arts education has greater value than most people realize.Ben Austin used to study physics, but later he became a writer. He says it was the liberal arts skills he learned in college that helped him get the job, but not just those related to physics. “It taught me to think about the world, how our systems work in a different way, how to be able to think more comparatively and a way to think with sympathy for others.”Students with more technical training often find good jobs after college. Liberal arts graduates have skills that are useful in different ways, like writing, reading comprehension, problem-solving, working well with others and critical thinking. Graduates with more technical degrees often struggle with such skills. Their education has taught them to carry out specific jobs, but little else.Edwin Koc, the senior director of research, says the college experience is about exploration and discovery. But students should be told that nothing is promised to them. “Not everybodys going to succeed. You have the idea that college is the golden ticket; everybody should get a college education. The fact of the matter is that in general it is true. Youre going to be more successful in your life if you have a college education than if you do not. But there is no guarantee, regardless of the academic major that you choose, that it will come true.”29. What is the attitude of some science students towards arts degrees?A. supportiveB. objectiveC. indifferentD. doubtful30. What does the example of Ben Austin show?A. Liberal arts education has great value.B. Writing contributes to his learning of physics.C. Liberal arts degrees have little value.D. Physics helps him understand the world.31. Where are students with liberal arts degrees strong?A. They have skills in specific fields.B. They think considerately and critically.C. They earn more early in their career.D. They can find jobs right after graduation.32. What can we infer from what Edwin said?A. Employment depends on your academic major.B. The college experience is to explore your career.C. A college education wont guarantee your success.D. College is a golden opportunity to succeed.DThe production of coffee beans is a huge, profitable business, but, unfortunately, full-sun production is taking over the industry and bringing about a lot of damage. The change in how coffee is grown from shade-grown production to full-sun production endangers the very existence of certain animals and birds, and even disturbs the worlds ecological balance.On a local level, the damage of the forest required by full-sun fields affects the areas birds and animals. The shade of the forest trees provides a home for birds and other species(物种) that depend on the trees flowers and fruits. Full-sun coffee growers destroy this forest home. As a result, many species are quickly dying out.On a more global level, the destruction of the rainforest for full-sun coffee fields also threatens（威胁）human life. Medical research often makes use of the forests plant and animal life, and the destruction of such species could prevent researchers from finding cures for certain diseases. In addition, new coffee-growing techniques are poisoning the water locally, and eventually the worlds groundwater.Both locally and globally, the continued spread of full-sun coffee plantations (种植园)could mean the destruction of the rainforest ecology. The loss of shade trees is already causing a slight change in the worlds climate, and studies show that loss of oxygen-giving trees also leads to air pollution and global warming. Moreover, the new growing techniques are contributing to acidic( 酸性的) soil conditions.It is obvious that the way much coffee is grown affects many aspects of life, from the local environment to the global ecology. But consumers do have a choice. They can purchase shade-grown coffee whenever possible, although at a higher cost. The future health of the planet and mankind is surely worth more than an inexpensive cup of coffee.33. What can we can about full-sun coffee production from Paragraph 4?A. It limits the spread of new growing techniques.B. It leads to air pollution and global warming.C. It slows down the loss of shade trees.D. It improves local soil conditions.34. The purpose of the text is to_A. entertain B. advertise C. instruct D. persuade35. Whore does this text probably come from ?A. An agricultural magazine. B. A medical journal.C. An engineering textbook. D. A tourist guide.第二节 七选五阅读（共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。Everyone wants to live a better life.
