19、percent of the diners in the U.S., says Katie Zavoski, who is helping hold a diner exhibit. What makes a diner a diner? (And not, say, a coffee shop?) Traditionally, a diner is built in a factory and then delivered to its own town or city rather than constructed on-site. Zavoski credits New Jerseys

November 18 has since been called Toms Diner Day, because on that day in 1981, the New York Posts front page was a story about the death of a

His book, American Diner: Then Now, traces the evolution of the “night lunch wagon,” set up by Walter Scott in 1872, to the early 1920s, when the diner got its name (adapted from “dining car), and on through the 1980s.

But contact time at university has barely risen at all. And graduating doesnt even provide any guarantee of a decent job: six in ten graduates toda
26、y are in non-graduate jobs.No wonder it has become fashionable to denounce many universities as little more that elaborate com-tricks. Theres a lot for students to complain about the repayment threshold for paying back loans will be frozen for five years, meaning that lower-paid graduals have to sta

28、ees back, you only start repaying when you are earning 21, 000 a year. Almost half of graduatesthose who go on to earn lesswill have a portion of their debt written off.

This might not be right, but school-leavers who fail to acknowledge as much risk making the wrong decision about going to university.Perhaps the reason why so many universities offer their students so little is they know studying at a top university remains a brilliant investment even if yo

38、influences employers recruitment decisions.第 II 卷 （非选择题 共 35 分）第四部分 任务型阅读（10 分）阅读下列短文并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词，每空格 1词（共 10 个小题；每小题 1 分，满分 10 分）In a broad sense, migration is usually defined as “permanent or semi-permanent change of residence”. Although movements within nations (internal migration)
39、often exceed movements between nations (international migration) in volume, the motives of people who move short distances are very similar to those of international migrants.8Students of human migration speak of “push” and “pull” factors, which influence an individuals decision to move from one pla
40、ce to another. Push factors are associated with the place of origin. A push factor can be as simple and mild a matter as difficulty in finding a suitable job, or as traumatic as war, or severe famine. Obviously, refugees who leave their homes with guns pointed at their heads are motivated almost ent
41、irely by push factors.Associated with the place of destination, pull factors are mostly economic, such as better job opportunities or the availability of good land to farm. In general, pull factors add up to an apparently better chance for a good life and material well-being than is offered by the p
42、lace of origin. When there is a choice between several attractive potential destinations, the deciding factor might be a non-economic consideration such as the presence of relatives, friends, or at least fellow countrymen already established in the new place who are willing to help the newcomers set
43、tle in. Considerations of this sort lead to the development of migration flow.Besides push and pull factors, there are what the sociologists call “intervening obstacles”. Even if push and/or pull factors are very strong they still may be outweighed by intervening obstacles, such as the distance of t
44、he move, the trouble and cost of moving, the difficulty of entering the new country, and the problems likely to be encountered on arrival.The decision to move is also influenced by “personal factors” of the potential migrant. The same push-pull factors and obstacles operate differently on different
45、people, sometimes because they are at different stages of their lives, or just because of their varying abilities and personalities. The prospect of packing up everything and moving to a new and perhaps very strange environment may appear interesting and challenging to an unmarried young man and ter
46、ribly difficult to a slightly older man with a wife and small kids. Similarly, the need to learn a new language and customs may excite one person and frighten another.Regardless of why people move, migration of large numbers of people causes conflict. The newest arrivals are usually given the lowest
47、-paid jobs and are resented by native people who may have to compete with them for those jobs. It has usually taken several decades for each group to be accepted into the mainstream of society in the host country.MigrationPassage outlineSupporting detailsBroad (71)_of migrationMigration is permanent
