12、所给的四个选项（A 、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑ADear Ms. Wang,I am writing to inform you of some arrangements about my composition course and Latin course next year. Ive decided to re-establish the 5-paragraph essay as the goal for the composition course. I interviewed some of my former students and they all
13、agreed that being able to write critically and continuously was important to them. So next academic year, Term 1 will be like always: sentences to paragraphing. And Term 2 will work toward the 5-paragraph essay. The final 3 weeks of Term 2 will be reserved to introduce writing for TOEFL and CEE. By
14、that time, if the students have done their job correctly, then they should be able to write quite well. As for the Latin course, I will post notices around campus next week so that the students will understand whats on offer before I actually introduce the course. A number of students already emaile
15、d me about the course. I am sure you dont understand what a big deal our opening this program at our school is. People around the world are interested in what we plan to do. There are many rewards available to the students who succeed in the course. Please share what I have said with the administrat
16、ion. I want them to understand the importance of this course. The reason I have contacted these colleagues (actually Oxford contacted me) is that I have confidence in our students and in myself. I know that when those professors meet our students and hear them speaking and reading Latin, they are go

20、l buy another. But the insurance payout didnt even begin to cover the costs of buying a new carI worked out that, with the loan (贷款) wed need plus petrol, insurance, parking permits and tax, we would make a payment as much as 600 a month. And thats when I had my fancy idea. Why not just give up havi
21、ng a car at all? I live in London. We have a railway station behind our house, a tube station 10 minutes walk away, and a bus stop at the end of the street. A new car club had just opened in our area, and one of its shiny little red Peugeots was parked nearby. If any family in Britain could live wit
22、hout a car, I reasoned, then surely we were that family.But my new car-free idea, sadly, wasnt shared by my family. My teenage daughters were horrified. What would their friends think about our family being “too poor to afford a car”? (I wasnt that bothered what they thought, and I suggested the gir
23、ls should take the same approach.)My friends, too, were astonished at our plan. What would happen if someone got seriously ill overnight and needed to go to hospital? (an ambulance) How would the children get to and from their many events? (buses and trains) People smiled as though this was another
24、of my mad ideas, before saying they were sure Id soon realize that a car was a necessity.Eight months on, I wonder whether well ever own a car again. The idea that you “have to” own a car, especially if you live in a city, is all in the mind. I liveand many other citizens do tooin a place that has n
25、ever been better served by public transport, and yet car ownership has never been higher.

A car-free life does not suit everyone.CIn colleges around the country, most students are also workers.The reality of college can be pretty different from the images presented in movies and television. Instead of th
29、e students who wake up late, party all the time, and study only before exams, many colleges are full of students with pressing schedules of not just classes and activities, but real jobs, too.This isnt a temporary phenomenon. The share of working students has been on the rise since the 1970s, and on
30、e-fifth of students work year round. About one-quarter of those who work while attending school have both a full-course load and a full-time job. The arrangement can help pay for tuition (学费) and living costs, obviously. And theres value in it beyond the direct cause: such jobs can also be critical
31、for developing important professional and social skills that make it easier to land a job after graduation. With many employers looking for students with already-developed skill sets, on-the-job training while in college can be the best way to ensure a job later on. But its not all upside. Even full
32、-time work may not completely cover the cost of tuition and living expenses. The study notes that if a student worked a full-time job at the federal minimum wage, they would earn just over $15,000 each year, certainly not enough to pay for tuition, room, and board at many colleges without some serio
33、us financial aid. That means that though theyre sacrificing time away from the classroom, many working students will still graduate with at least some debt. And working full time can reduce the chance that students will graduate at all, by cutting into the time available for studying and attending c
34、lasses.There is little reward for attending but not finishing college. Students who wind up leaving school because of difficulty in managing work and class are likely to find themselves stuck in some of the same jobs they might have gotten if they hadnt gone at all. The difficulty of working too muc
35、h while in school can create a cycle that pushes students further into debt without receiving any of the financial or career benefits.28.

39、ed that e-books would one day replace printed books. However, that attitude was changed suddenly in 2007 when Amazons Kindle came onto the market, which led to e-book sales jumping up to 1,260%. Since then, e-books popularity has continued to steadily rise. The publishing industry seemed to have los
40、t all possible ability to regain its position. Will printed books eventually become a thing of the past? According to Mike Shatzkin, founder and CEO of the Idea Logical Company, printed books just for plain old reading will, in 10 years from now, be unusual. “Not so unusual that a kid will say, Momm
41、y, whats that? but unusual enough that on the train youll see one or two people reading something printed, while everyone else is reading off of a tablet.” And Shatzkin believes that the demise of print is sure to happen, though such a day wont arrive for perhaps 50 to 100 or more years. Robert Stei
42、n, founder of the Institute for the Future of the Book, however, believes that books wont disappear entirely, at least not anytime soon. “Print will exist, but it will be in a different field and will appeal to a very limited audience, as poetry does today. Like woodblock printing, hand-processed fi

He also predicts that the distinction between writer and reader will be made less obvious by a social r
44、eading experience in which authors and consumers can digitally interact with each other to discuss any passage, sentence or line. Is there anything we risk sacrificing, should print really disappear entirely? According to Maryanne Wolf, director of the Center for Reading and Language Research at Tuf

In light of this, Wolf hopes that we continue to maintain a “bi-literate” societyone that
