33、To find the mid-career average pay for 35 popular degrees, we turned toP, which lets users compare their salaries with those of other people in similar jobs by gathering real-time salary data from its 35 million profiles. We then looked at theBureau of Labor Statistics employment estimate data to se
34、e how fast employment was expected to increase between 2010 and 2020 in popular jobs held by people with each degree. Finally we averaged each degrees pay rank and estimated growth rank to find the best and worst masters degrees for jobs.Physician assistant degree is at the top of the Forbes third-a

Mid-career average pay for these grads is $109,000, sixth best out of the 35 degrees in our survey. Employment opportunities for computer science degree-holders are expected to expand about 2

Electrical engineering, physics and economics degrees also make the top 10, all with an average mid-career salary of more than $110,000 a year.Not all masters degree holders enjoy anywhere near such optimistic job prospects or extraordinary pay. Biology, chemistry and histo

Or
47、 was she slowing down? In the battle against cheating, this is the cutting edge and a key to encourage honesty in the booming field of online education. The technology gives trust to the entire system, to the institution and to online education in general. Only with solid measures against cheating,
48、experts say, can Internet universities show that their exams and diplomas are valid that students havent just searched the Internet to get the right answers. Although online classes have existed for more than a decade, the concern over cheating has become sharper in the last year with the growth of

54、ine Courses C. The Fight against Cheating in Online Education D. The War against the Booming of Online EducationDAn alcohol breath test (ABT) is often used by the police to find out whether a person is drunk while driving. In the United States, the legal blood alcohol limit is 0.08% for people aged
55、21 years or older, while people under 21 are not allowed to drive a car with any level of alcohol in their body. A positive test result, a result over the legal limit, allows the police to arrest the driver. However, many people who tested positive on the test have claimed that they only drank a non
56、-alcoholic energy drink. Can one of these energy drinks really cause someone to test positive on an ABT? Researchers in Missouri set up an experiment to find out. First, the amount of alcohol in 27 different popular energy drinks was measured. All but one had an alcohol level greater than 0.005%. In
57、 nine of the 27 drinks, the alcohol level was at least 0.096%. The scientists then investigated the possibility that these small levels of alcohol could be detected by an ABT. They asked test subjects to drink a full can or bottle of an energy drink and then gave each subject an ABT one minute and 1
58、5 minutes after the drink was finished. For 11 of the 27 energy drinks, the ABT did detect the presence of alcohol if the test was given within one minute after the drink was taken. However, alcohol could not be detected for any of the drinks if the test was given 15 minutes after the drink was cons
59、umed. This shows that when the test is taken plays a crucial role in the test result. The sooner the test is conducted after the consumption of these drinks, the more likely a positive alcohol reading will be obtained.67. For a person who just turned 20, what is the legal alcohol level allowed while
60、 driving in the US? A. 0.000%. B. 0.005%. C. 0.080%. D. 0.096%.68. What is the purpose of the Missouri experiment? A. To introduce a new method of calculating blood alcohol levels. B. To discover the relation between energy drinks and ABT test results. C. To warn about the dangers of drinking energy
61、 drinks mixed with alcohol. D. To challenge the current legal alcohol limit for drivers in the United States.69. What were the participants of the experiment asked to do after they finished their energy drink? A. To line up in the laboratory. B. To recall the drink brands. C. To take an alcohol brea
62、th test. D. To check their breath for freshness.70. What is the most important factor that affects the ABT test result for energy drink consumers? A. The age of the person who takes the test.B. The place where the test is given. C. The equipment that the test uses.D. The time when the test is taken.
63、第卷（非选择题共35分）第四部分：任务型阅读 （共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）认真阅读下列短文，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。注意：每空格只填一个单词。Equal Opportunities for Quality EducationIt is widely accepted that human resources are playing a very important part in Chinas economic growth. Education, which greatly affects the qualities of human resource
64、s, has gone through rapid developments in recent years.Last year, China had more than 2 million graduates from colleges or universities, and another 3.5 million graduates from vocational schools.Despite the great developments in education, in the era of reform, lawmakers expose and criticize many pr
65、oblems in the developments of education, which trouble, if not anger, the public.One of the most glaring problems is that in Chinas vast rural areas, even the most basic education is not available to some children. And elsewhere, even if they have access, the facilities available for them are still
66、a far cry from those in cities.Official statistics show that at the primary stage, there are a big number of rural students who drop out of school because they do not have the money to pay their tuition fees.At college level, there have been some big increases in tuition fees over the last few years
67、. So, some students from rural areas have also been forced to abandon their dreams.China has a long tradition of valuing education and Chinese parents are willing to save each and every penny to support their childrens schooling. But in a nation of more than 1.3 billion people, upholding equal oppor
68、tunities in the education sector is a discouraging task.The central government is dedicated to quickening the development of the cause. It will cancel rural school fees and offer the children in povertystricken areas financial support so they can all enjoy the equal education and complete the nineye
69、ar compulsory schooling programme.The most important part of the issue lies in the amount of cash put into it. On the other hand, it is more than an issue of fiscal input财政收入. The unbalanced distribution of resources between rural and urban schools risks slowing down the future of Chinas vast rural
70、areas, where two thirds of the population live.Education is undoubtedly the longterm lifeline of citizens. Good education promotes more than personal wellbeing or the fulfillment of individual ambition. As individual ability grows, the nation will become stronger and more prosperous.Equality in educ
71、ation is vital to the sustainability of our nations economic progress. It has a big influence on every citizens quality of life, so the government must do all it can to achieve this goal.An overview of education in ChinaAs Chinas economy grows, education, which has a great effect on the qualities of
72、 human resources, has 71 great developments. 72 in the development of educationIn 73 of great developments, what worries the public is that there are still children in vast rural areas who gain no 74 to the most basic education and the facilities available are far from 75 compared with those in citi
73、es. Serious consequencesA large number of rural primary school students have to quit school because they cant 76 to pay for their education.With the college tuition fees increasing sharply, rural students have no 77 but to give up their dreams.Approaches to 78 the problemsTo ensure 79 in the educati
74、on for rural students, the central government will cancel rural school fees and provide them with financial support,The distribution of resources between rural and urban schools should be 80 , which will surely accelerate the development of vast rural areas.ConclusionEquality in education makes it p

78、Earth Day differently. In Picture 1, a man is trying to put up a banner on a lonely tree surrounded by stumps, but in vain, while Picture 2 shows a couple happily planting trees.The message conveyed here is clear: “Actions speak louder than words.” Our earth is suffering severe damage. Should we jus
79、t pay lip service or take practical measures to protect it? The answer is definitely the latter. Immediate actions should be taken, like stopping cutting down trees, to better the environment.Actions are important in other fields, too. Instead of shouting empty slogans, it is more meaningful to donate books and sports goods to children in need. We should strictly and voluntarily follow traffic rules, stopping at the red light rather than complaining about traffic jams. Only when we match our words with actions can we make a difference in whatever we hope to accomplish.- 12 - 版权所有高考资源网
