19、be saved. There are low-quality schools just as there are low-quality businesses. We have no duty to save them simply because they exist.But many promising institutions that deserve to continue are threatened. They are doing a fine job educationally, but they are caught in a financial squeeze, with
20、no way to reduce rising cost or increase income significantly. Raising tuition doesnt bring in more income, for each time tuition goes up, the enrollment goes down, or the amount that must be given away in student aid goes up. Schools are bad businesses, whether public or private, not usually becaus
21、e of mismanagement but because of the nature of the enterprise. They lose money on every customer, and they can go bankrupt either from too few students or too many students. Even a very good college is a very bad business.It is such colleges, promising but threatened, that I worry about. Low enroll
22、ment is not their chief problem. Even with full enrollment, they may go under. Efforts to save them, and preferably to keep them private, are a national necessity. There is no basis for arguing that private schools are inherently (固有地) better than public schools. There are many examples to the contr
23、ary. Anyone can name state universities and colleges that rank as the finest in the nation and the world. It is now inevitable that public institutions will be dominant, and therefore diversity is a national necessity. Diversity in the way we support schools tends to give us a healthy diversity in t
24、he forms of education. In an imperfect society such as ours, uniformity of education throughout the nation could be dangerous. In an imperfect society, diversity is a positive good. Supporters of public higher education know the importance of sustaining private higher education.36. According to the
25、authors opinion schools are bad businesses because of _.A. mismanagement B. too few studentsC. too many students D. the nature of schools37. The author used the phrase “go under” (Sentence 3, Para. 3) to mean _.A. get into difficultiesB. have low enrollmentC. have low tuition D. bring in more money3
26、8. We can reasonably conclude from this passage that the author made an appeal to the public in order to support _.A. public institutions B. private schoolsC. uniformity of educationD. high quality of education39. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. High-quality private schools deserve
27、to be saved.B. If the tuition is raised, the enrollment goes down.C. There are many cases to show that public schools are better than private schools.D. Private schools have more money than public schools.40. Which of the following ways could possibly save private schools?A. Raising tuition. B. Full
28、 enrollment. C. National awareness and support. D. Reduction of rising cost.BIs Your Diet Destroying the Environment?A vegetarian diet is often praised for its health benefits. Studies have shown that vegetarians usually have lower levels of heart disease and a lower risk of diabetes than people who
29、 eat meat. What most people are less aware of, however, are the effects that a vegetarian diet can have on the environment.Researchers from the Union of Concerned Scientists in the US recently studied how consumer behavior affects the environment. The study showed that meat consumption is one of the
30、 main ways that humans can damage the environment, second only to the use of motor vehicle.Then, how can eating meat have a negative effect on the environment? For a start, all farm animals such as cows, pigs, and sheep give off methane（沼气）gas by expelling（排出）wind from their bodies. One cow can prod
31、uce up to 60 liters of methane each day. Methane gas is the second most common greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide. Many environmental experts now believe that it is more responsible for global warming than carbon dioxide. It is estimated that 25% of all methane released into the atmosphere comes fr
32、om farm animals.Another way that meat production affects the environment is through the use of water and land. 2,500 gallons of water are needed to produce one pound of beef, whereas 20 gallons of water are needed to produce one pound of wheat. One acre of farmland used for crop production can produ
33、ce 40,000 pounds of potatoes, 30,000 pounds of carrots, or 50,000 pounds of tomatoes.Many people now see the benefits of switching to a vegetarian diet, not just for health reasons, but also because it plays a vital role in protecting the environment. However, some nutritionists advise against switc
34、hing to a totally strict vegetarian, or vegan diet. They believe a vegan diet, which excludes all products from animal sources, such as cheese, eggs, and milk, can be short of many necessary vitamins and minerals our bodies need.Today, many people know its important to take better care of their bodi
35、es and to use the earths resources more efficiently. As this understanding spreads, more people may realize that to help the environment and for the human race to survive, more of us will need to become vegetarians. 41. The underlined word “it” in Para.3 refers to _.A. methane gas B. carbon dioxide
36、C. expelling wind D. greenhouse gas42. Many figures are used in Para.4 to show _.A. growing tomatoes has the highest productionB. crop production is better than meat production C. meat production consumes too much water and landD. farm animals are the main producer of the methane gas43. What message
37、 does the passage want to convey? A. Our diet is destroying the surroundings. B. Raising farm animals affects the environment.C. A vegetarian diet helps to protect the environment.D. More and more people are becoming strict vegetarians.CMrs. Squirrel and I Negotiated TermsI was sitting in the room r
38、eading when I heard a loud noise. To defend my home from break-in, I picked up my defense weapon- a broom and went out. There on the roof of my porch（门廊）, I saw a grey fluffy squirrel. I drove her away with the broom, but the next day I heard her again.I searched squirrels on the net and found becau
39、se their teeth keep growing, they have to constantly chew on things to shorten their teeth. This was disturbing so I asked my husband to call in some wildlife control people. On Monday morning two men showed up, with guns in their hands. I pointed uneasily to the hole in my porch roof. They held up
40、their guns. Suddenly I saw in my mind the baby nursery inside. I stopped them and confirmed that they wouldnt harm her. They hesitated, but finally put down their guns. Then they brought out a bottle of deodorizer（除臭剂）and sprayed it into the squirrels home. They told me she would not like the smell
41、and would leave.There was no sign of Mrs. Squirrel, so they blocked the hole, took my cheque for $250 and left. Shortly after they left, Mrs. Squirrel returned from her shopping trip. She was mad at being driven out and began feverishly clawing at the porch roof. In order to stop the destruction of
42、my home, I drove her away with the broom again. Each day thereafter, Mrs. Squirrel continued her attack on my possession. I then called the company to report that “SHES BAAAAAACK” The receptionist said that if Mrs. Squirrel had managed to find another way into my porch roof, it would be a new charge
43、. I replied I couldnt continue contributing my husbands hard-earned income to their silly wildlife experts and hang up. I went to the porch and banged on the roof. Mrs. Squirrel came out and glared at me. We negotiated some terms, came to an agreeable arrangement and went back into our respective ho
44、mes. All is quiet these days, although large quantities of materials have been removed from my garage wall and my daughter claims that some of her doll-house furniture has disappeared. I still hope that Mrs. Squirrel would leave, but I will wait until it is warmer and hopefully until after the birth
45、 of the little ones. 44. What did the author think of the squirrel at first?A. Troublesome.B. Dangerous.C. Interesting. D. Clever.45. Why didnt the author ask the wildlife control people to come again? A. She worried about the safety of the squirrel. B. She thought the company charged too much. C. S
46、he decided to drive away the squirrel herself. D. She doubted the ability of the wildlife control people.46. What can we learn from the passage? A. Getting rid of the squirrel needs patience. B. The squirrel has destroyed the authors house. C. The author has developed affection for the squirrel. D.
47、The author signed an agreement with Mrs. Squirrel.47. The author has written the passage in a (an) _ way. A. persuasiveB. seriousC. informativeD. amusing D Panopticon is a place in which everything is in full view of others A recent New York Times House and Home article featured the story of a man w
48、ho lives in a glass houseEvery wall in his home is transparent; he has no walls to hide behind, not even in the bathroomOf course, he lives in a remote area where he doesnt exactly have neighbors looking in and watching his every moveBut he has chosen to live without any physical privacy in a home t
49、hat allows every action to be seenHe has created his own panopticon of sorts The term panopticon was coined by Jeremy Bentham in the late eighteenth century when he was describing an idea for how prisons should be designedThe prisoners cells would be placed in a circle with a guard tower in the midd
50、leAll walls facing the center of the circle would be glassIn that way, every prisoners cell would be in full view of the guardsThe prisoners could do nothing unobserved, but the prisoners would not be able to see the guard towerThey would know they were being watched - or rather, they would know tha
51、t they could be being watchedbut because they could not see the observer, they would never know when the guard was actually monitoring their actions Similarly, it is common that people behave differently when they know they are being watchedWe act differently when we know someone is looking; we act
52、differently when we think someone else might be lookingIn these situations, we are less likely to be ourselves; instead, we will act the way we think we should act when we are being observed by others In our wired society, many talk of the panopticon as a metaphor for the futureBut in many ways, the
53、 panopticon is already hereMonitoring cameras are everywhere, and we often dont even know our actions are being recordedIn addition, we leave a record of everything we do onlineAnd most of us have no idea just how much information about us has been recorded and how much data is available to various
54、sourcesWe can do little to stop the information gathering and exchange and can only hope to be able to control the damage if something goes wrong48According to the passage, a panopticon is Aa prison cell Ba house that is transparent Ca tower that provides a broad view Da place where everything can b
55、e seen by others49From Paragraph 3, we learn that panopticon Ais not applicable outside the prison Bis used everywhere in public places Cis an effective tool to control prisoners Dis an effective tool to share information50Why does the author say that panopticon is already here? ABecause our privacy
56、 is completely transparentBBecause we are all prisoners in our own homesCBecause our actions are observed and recorded in many casesDBecause we are always afraid that someone might be watching us四、任务型阅读We are not born with courage, but neither are we born with fear. Maybe some of our fears are broug
57、ht on by your own experiences, by what someone has told you, by what youve read in the papers. Some fears are reasonable, like walking alone in a bad part of town at two oclock in the morning. But once you learn to avoid that situation, you wont need to live in fear of it.Fears, even the most basic
58、ones, can totally destroy our ambitions. Fear can destroy fortunes. Fear can destroy relationships. Fear, if left uncontrolled, can destroy our lives. Fear is one of the many enemies hidden inside us.Let me tell you about five of the other enemies we face from within. The first enemy that youve got
59、to destroy before it destroys you is indifference. What a tragic disease this is! “Ho-hum, let it slide. Ill just drift along.” Heres one problem with drifting: you cant drift your way to the top of the mountain.The second enemy we face is indecision. Indecision is the thief of opportunity and enter
60、prise. It will steal your chances for a better future. Take a sword to this enemy.The third enemy inside is doubt. Sure, theres room for healthy skepticism. You cant believe everything. But you also cant let doubt take over. Many people doubt the past, doubt the future, doubt each other, doubt the g
61、overnment, doubt the possibilities and doubt the opportunities. Worst of all, they doubt themselves. Im telling you, doubt will destroy your life and your chances of success. It will empty both your bank account and your heart. Doubt is an enemy. Go after it. Get rid of it.The fourth enemy within is
62、 worry. Weve all got to worry some. Just dont let it defeat you. Instead, let it alarm you. Worry can be useful. If you step off the sidewalk in New York City and a taxi is coming, youve got to worry. But you cant let worry loose like a mad dog that drives you into a small corner. Heres what youve g
63、ot to do with your worries: drive them into a small corner. Whatever is out to get you, youve got to get it. Whatever is pushing on you, youve got to push back.The fifth enemy inside is overcaution. It is the timid (胆怯的) approach to life. Timidity is not a virtue; its an illness. If you let it go, i
64、tll defeat you. Timid people dont get promoted. They dont advance and grow. Youve got to avoid overcaution.Do battle with the enemies. Do battle with your fears. Build your courage to fight whats holding you back, whats keeping you from your goals and dreams. Be courageous in your life and in your p
