11、上将该项涂黑。AThe Cost of Higher Education4Individuals (个人) should pay for their higher education.In general, a university education is of huge and direct benefit to the individual. Whether they are majoring in geography, geometry or any other subject, graduates earn more than non-graduates. Meanwhile, so
12、cial mobility is ever more dependent on having a degree. However, only some people have it. So the individual, not the taxpayers should pay for it. There are pressing calls on the resources (资源) of the government. Using taxpayers money to help small number of people to earn high incomes in the futur
13、e is not one of them.Full government funding (资助) is not very good for universities. Adam Smith worked in a Scottish university whose teachers lived off student fees. He knew and looked down upon 18th-century Oxford, the grand university having much glory, where the academics lived comfortably off t
14、he income received from the government. Guaranteed salaries, Smith argued, were the enemy of hard work and when the academics were lazy and incompetent, the students grew similarly lazy in a gradual way.If students have to pay for their education, I guess they not only work harder, but also demand m
15、ore from their teachers and have a better grasp of the subjects. And their teachers have to keep them satisfied. If that means taking teaching seriously, and giving less time to their own research interests, that is surely something to celebrate.Many people believe that higher education should be fr
16、ee because it is good for the economy (经济). Many graduates clearly do contribute to national wealth, but so do all the businesses that invest (投资) and create jobs. If you believe that the government should be generous enough to pay for higher education because graduates are economically productive,
17、you should also believe that the government should pay part of business costs. Anyone promising to create jobs should receive a gift of capital（资金） from the government to invest.Therefore, it is the individual, not the government who should pay for their university education.21. The underlined word
18、“them” in Paragraph 2 refers to .5A. taxpayers B. pressing callsC. college graduates D. government resources22. The author thinks that with full government funding _.A. teachers are less satisfied B. students are more demandingC. students will become more competent D. teachers will spend less time o
19、n teaching23. The author mentions businesses in Paragraph 5 in order to_.A. argue against free university education B. call on them to finance students studiesC. encourage graduates to go into business D. show their contribution to higher educationBSitting is an art that isnt getting passed along. P
20、eople these days feel as though they have to be doing something. If they are not working, they are jogging, or playing tennis or golf to guard against illnesses, or taking courses to improve their minds or bodies - or they are parked in front of the TV. Sitting in front of the TV isnt sitting - its
21、watching.People used to sit a whole lot. You would walk down the street or drive down the road, and there they would be, out on the doorsteps, sitting. You could go to the grocery to buy some garlic or some fruits and vegetables and sit on the bench out front m the summer or around the fire in the w
22、inter. You could go down to the store to buy an outer garment, an electric grill or anything else. There were sitting benches out in the town square. At the garage, there were straight-backed chairs. There among the oilcans and tires and spare parts, you could kick back and sit.Houses used to have s
23、itting rooms, where the grown-ups would go after Sunday dinner. Mom and Dad, Grandpa and Aunt Ruby would gather round, sit and digest (消化) the fried chicken and talk about Aunt Ethels illness, and how well the minister did today. They may just talk a load of garbage and even gesture with their hands
24、 when they become excited. Outside, the younger generation, the children would play on the 6ground, and the afternoon would pass by in a comfortable haze（ 悠闲的氛围).That sort of thing looks like doing nothing. A recharging battery (正充电的电池) doesnt look as if its doing anything either. Sitting restores y
25、our soul. If you want to enjoy a truly full life, dont just do something-sit there.24. What message does the author try to get through to us?A. People should make better use of their sitting room.B. People should spend less time watching TV.C. People should pass down their good habits.D. People shou
26、ld take things easy for their own good.25.

From the text we know the writer believes_.A. sitting has a good spiritual effectB. sitting helps people remember the pastC. a sitting room may have different purposesD. a sitting room is importa
28、nt for the oldCWe have to admit that many cities around the world today are heavily polluted. Careless methods of production and lack of consumer demand for environment friendly products have actually contributed to the pollution problem. One result is that millions of tons of glass, paper, plastic,
29、 and metal containers are produced and these are difficult to get rid of.7However, today, more and more consumers are choosing “green” and demanding that the products they buy should be safe for the environment. Before they take action to buy a product, they ask questions like these “Will this shamp
30、oo add damage to the environment?” “Can this metal container be reused or can it only be used once?”A recent study showed that two out of five adults now take the environmental safety of a product into account before they buy it. This means that companies must now adjust the way they make and sell t
31、heir products to make sure that they are “green” that is, friendly to the environmentOnly a few years ago, it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets, but now there are hundreds of them advocating green. In addition, some supermarket products carry labels (标签) to show that the product
32、is green. Some companies have adopted the manufacturing (生产) of clean and safe products as their main selling point and emphasize it in their advertising.The concern for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do business. No longer will the public accept the old attitud
33、e of “Buy it, use it, throw it away, and forget it.” The public pressure is on, and gradually business is cleaning up its act.28.

If there are too man
37、y new words for you, then the level is too high and you should read something simpler. But if there are, say, a maximum of five new words per page, you will learn this vocabulary easily. You may not even need to use a pocket dictionary because you can guess the meaning from the rest of the text. 33
38、A model for writingWhen you read, it gives you a good example for writing. Texts that you read show you structures (结构) and expressions that you can use when you write.Seeing “correctly structured” EnglishWhen people write, they usually use “correct” English with a proper grammatical structure. 34 _
39、. So, by reading you see and learn grammatical English naturally.35 .You can read as fast or as slowly as you like. You can read ten pages in 30 minutes. or take one hour to explore just one page.

42、 university, my aunt, who is an English professor, gave me a new English dictionary. I was _36_ to see that it was an English-English dictionary, also known as a monolingual (只用一种语言的) dictionary. _37_ it was a dictionary intended for non-native learners, none of my classmates had one _38_, to be hon
43、est, I found it extremely _39_ to use at first. I would look up words in the dictionary and _40_ not fully understand the meanings. I was used to the _41_ bilingual dictionaries, in which the words are _42_ both in English and Chinese. I really wondered why my aunt gave me such _43_ to make things s
44、o difficult for me. Now, after studying English at university for three years, I _44_ that monolingual dictionaries are _45_ in learning a foreign language.As I found out, there is, _46_, often no perfect equivalence (对应) between two _47_ in two languages. My aunt even goes so far as to _48_ that a
45、Chinese “equivalent” can never give you the _49_ meaning of a word in English! _50_, she insisted that I read the definition (释义) of a word in a monolingual dictionary when I wanted to get a better _51_ of its meaning. _52_, I have come to see what she meant.Using a monolingual dictionary for learne
46、rs has helped me in another important way. This dictionary uses a(n) _53_ number of words, around 2,000, in its definitions. When I read these definitions, I am _54_ exposed to the basic words and learn how they are used to explain objects and ideas. _55_ this, I can express myself more 10easily in
