Part III Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) (10 minutes; 10%) Directions: In this section, you are going to read a passage with 10 statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.The male minorityA)When Meg Delong was in high school in the northern Georgia town of Gainesville, she was aserious student with her eye on college. Many of her girlfriends worked toward the same goal.But her younger brother and most of her male friends seemed more inclined to act like Falstaff than to study Shakespeare. "A lot of guys thought studying was for girls," says DeLong, nowa junior French major at the University of Georgia in Athens. "They were really intelligent,but they would goof off, and it seemed to be accepted by the teachers."B)In a freshman English tutorial, small clusters of men sit quietly as women dominate classdiscussions. But outside class, the mood on campus is distinctly male friendly. Tyler Willingham, social chair of the Sigma Nu fraternity, observes that at parties, even guys without dates can choose from "many beautiful women."C)This sort of gender gap is glaring and growing at campuses across America. Until 1979, menmade up the majority of college students. As women won increasing equality elsewhere in society, it was natural and expected that they would reach parity in college, which they did by the early 1980s. But the surprise has been that men's enrollment in higher education has declined since 1992. Males now make up just 44% of undergraduate students nationwide. And federal projections show their share shrinking to as little as 42% by 2010. This trend is among the hottest topics of debate among college-admissions officers.D)Why the shortage? There are few hard facts, but lots of theories. Anecdotal evidence suggeststhat more men than women respond to the lure of high-tech jobs that don't require a bachelor's degree. Some call this the Bill Gates syndrome, after the college-dropout chairman of Microsoft. But high-tech industries employ only about 9% of the U.S. work force. Amid the hot economy of recent years, a larger group of men — especially those from lower-income families — might be heading straight from high school into fields like aircraft mechanics and telephone- and power-line repair that pay an average of $850 a week rather than taking on a load of college debt. Some social critics blame a dearth of male role models among schoolteachers, and a culture that promotes anti-intellectualism among boys. And, especially in inner cities, crime and gangs entice more boys than girls away from learning.E)How pervasive is the gender gap? According to Thomas Mortenson, an education analyst inOskaloosa, Iowa, the share of college degrees earned by males has been declining for decades.U.S. government figures show that from 1970 to 1996, as the number of bachelor's degrees earned by women increased 77%, the number earned by men rose 19%. Not all schools are feeling the imbalance; many e lite colleges and universities have seen applications soar from both sexes. But the overall numbers, says Mortenson, should make us "wake up and see that boys are in trouble."F)Jacqueline King, author of a recent study on the gender gap in college, emphasizes that it iswidest among blacks (63% women to 37% men in the latest figures), Hispanics (57% to 43%) and, in her analysis, lower-income whites (54% to 46%). "It's not middle-class white youngmen who aren't going to college," she says.G)Christina Hoff Sommers, a conservative education analyst, cites studies showing that boyscome to school less prepared than girls, do less homework and get suspended more often. "For males, there's no social currency in being a straight-A student," says Clifford Thornton, associate dean of admissions at Wesleyan University. Although the latest figures show that college graduates earn, on average, almost double the wages of those with no college, "there'sa sense among many boys that it's sissy to go to college," says sociologist and author MichaelKimmel. " Consider Justin Spagnoli. After high school he took classes at a community college before quitting to work in his father's cabinet shop in Royston, Ga. Today Spagnoli, 25, earns $50,000 a year, while his buddies are just finishing college, taking jobs for lower pay. "You don't need °reeacute;," he says, if you have a talent.H)Some private liberal arts colleges are making it easier for men to get in. At Dickinson Collegein Carlisle, Pa., this year's freshman class is 43% male — up from 36% last year — in part because the school gave preference to "qualified male candidates on the margin," says Robert Massa, vice president for enrollment and student life. The idea gets mixed reviews among Dickinson's students. "It reeks of affirmative action," says physics major Michelle Edwards.But Massa emphasizes that "the men we admitted were as qualified as the women."At the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, recruiters aggressively tout math and science programs — traditionally popular among male applicants. Chicago's DePaul University (59% female) sends out extra mailings to boys.I)Public universities, though, could face legal challenges if they were to try recruiting moremales. In Texas and Florida — both of which have largely abolished preferences in admissions policies — state officials say there are no special plans to lure more men. Many schools still try to balance programs historically dominated by one gender (like engineering and social work) by offering slots to underrepresented students. At San Francisco State University, Roberto Haro, a professor of ethnic studies, routinely recruits minority males at Boys Clubs and middle schools in inner-city areas. As a result, he says, "in the past year, we've seen a slight increase in the number of minority males who have applied."J)Michael Kimmel believes that once we begin to change the anti-intellectual current in our culture, market forces will help address the gender gap. "Eventually," he says, "men will start going back to college to meet the demand for an educated labor force." And surely more men will also be lured onto campuses by the realization that they'll be surrounded by smart, attractive women with great earnings prospects.26. Many famous universities don’t have the problem of gender gap in enrollment.27. Compared to girls, boys, are more inclinede to take a high-tech job that does not require a bachelor’s degree.28. Though boys are quiet in class, they are very active and welcomed in social activities after class.29. It is said that many boys don’t study hard because they hold the view that studying is girl’s business.30. It’s surprising that the number of men in college enrollemt has begun to decrease since 1992.31. The gender gap in college can be solved by market forces as well as the change of anti-intellectual current .32. A study shows that the widest gender gap in college appears among blacks, Hispanics and lower-income whites.33. Acccording to the latest survey, people who have a college degree earn almost twice as much as those without one on average.34. It is illegal for public universities to give preference to boys in enrollment .35.Some private liberal arts colleges have taken different measures to attract more male students.

Part III Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) (10 minutes; 10%) Directions: In this section, you are going to read a passage with 10 statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.Value of a colleg educationA)As tuition costs continue to rise to levels higher than ever before, many are asking, is a collegeeducation worth the financial investment? What exactly is the value of a college education? The answers to these questions lie in the economic, social, and personal benefits that a college education enables.B) A college education is an investment that will never depreciate(贬值). Once attained, a collegedegree will enable an individual to earn more in the long run. On the whole, college graduates earn more than those with only a high school diploma. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, the average annual income in 2000 of male high school graduates working full-time and year-round was $34,303 and $24,970 for female full-time workers. However, the average income in 2000 for males with a bachelor's degree was $56,334 and $40,415 for females.This demonstrates the drastic difference in earnings between individuals with college educations and those with only high school diplomas. Those with high school diplomas face extreme hardship when trying to obtain a solid career. Their rate of pay is significantly lower.Their stress levels are higher because they have to work twice as hard as someone who has attained a college education.C)When the necessary financial burden of pursuing higher education is put in comparison to thedifferences in wages related to the level of education outlined above, the true economic value of a college education is certainly put into perspective. Moreover, higher learning leads to higher earnings. Although one ends up paying off their college education throughout their lives, they will realize that this ,debt they have got is well worth it compared to the amount of work time they would ,put in if they had only received their high school diploma.D)Beyond increased income potential, graduates from college educations also, experience severalother benefits compared to those with only high school diplomas. These benefits include longer life spans, better access to health care, better dietary, and health practices, greater economic stability and security and less dependency on government assistance. A college education has also been linked to more, continuing education, greater participation in leisure and artistic activities and more book purchases. Those with college educations tend to have more time to enjoy life. Furthermore, college graduates have been found to have higher voting rates, greater knowledge of government, more volunteer work, and greater demonstrated community service and leadership. The reason for these trends can be contributed to a sense of pride and a need to give back to the community that helped them become educated.E)Past research has shown that college graduates enjoy higher levels of saving, increased mobility,improved quality of life for their offspring, and better consumer decision-making. Additional non-monetary personal benefits of higher education include the ,tendency for post-secondary students to become more open-minded, more cultured, ,more rational, more consistent, and less authoritarian(专制的), and these benefits are ,passed along to next generations. College attendance has also been shown to enhance knowledge of world affairs, decrease prejudice, andenhance social status. While one attends college they are given the opportunity to be introduced to a variety of backgrounds and values. This helps one become more well-rounded.F)Studies have consistently demonstrated a link between college educations, cultural and familyvalues, and economic growth. Women with higher education have been found to spend more time with their children and use this time to better prepare their children for the future. Children of college-educated individuals have been found to be healthier, perform better academically, and are more likely to attend college themselves than children of those with less education.Children observe how their parents have grown and then in turn want to follow in their parents' footsteps.G)Since higher education is linked to increased wages, it is also linked to increased disposableincome. The public benefits of college graduation include increased tax revenues, greater productivity in the workplace, increased consumption of products and activities, increased flexibility in the workplace, and as mentioned before, decreased reliance on government financial support. Those with college educations tend to go into careers which they are interested in, not just forced to gain employment that will pay the bills.H)Furthermore, there is increased value in not only attending college, but completing a degree. Itis estimated that hundreds of thousands of students leave four-year colleges each year without graduating. These individuals end up earning less than graduates because they receive fewer years of education. Students realize later in life that they should have completed their degrees.More and more adults are going back to finish the degrees they did not complete. They also tend to earn less than individuals from two-year colleges who have the same number of years of education.I)Although the evidence thus far has pointed to the benefits provided by higher ,education, someargue that the population at large is becoming over-educated, ,and that degrees are now a dimea dozen(不值钱). One would rather become over- educated than under-educated in our society.A survey conducted in 2003 found that university and college graduates feel over-educated andunderemployed. Workers are carrying an abundance of education and work skills that are not being utilized by the labor market. The survey, carried out by the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, reports that about half of Ontario workers with post-secondary education say they have skills that they would like to use, but which their jobs don't require. The survey also reports62 percent who think, contrary to evidence, that university graduates are just as likely to beunemployed as high school graduates. According to ,most research, the findings of this survey carry little weight, and unemployment rates ,among college graduates are substantially lower than unemployment rates among ,those with only a high school education.J)The experience of college opens the mind and the senses to new learning experiences and social encounters. College students are encouraged to think critically and analyze problems and situations from different perspectives and angles. Students are taught not just to assume anything, but to investigate information on their own to find out facts. A college education broadens horizons and opens up opportunities for increased employability and earning potential, and acts as a foundation for a productive life. A college education builds stronger self-esteem in individuals.26. Male college graduates in 2000 earned about $22,000 more on average than male high school graduates.27. Some believe that the problem now is not less people with higher education but more people over-educated and underemployed.28. In adddition to a relatively high income, college graduates can benefit from college educations in various ways.29. The value of a college education lies in the economic, social, and personal benefits it offers to people.30. College graduates have a better chance of developing a career they enjoy instead of finding a job just to make a living.31. A college education helps cultivate good personal traits such as openmindedness, persistence, etc.32. People with college educations tend to be sensible in accepting new knowledge and to think critically in solving problems33. Parents with higher education create a better family environment for their children’s development.34. It is worthwhile to have a higher education even though one might need to pay off the education debt.35. Students who leave college without getting a degree make less money than those who finish the education.Keys: 26-30: BIDAG 31-335: EJFCH。

Knowing when to migrate comes from various things. For some animals, it is how long the day is. Some judge the time by the temperature outside, whereas others know when to travel by the level of fat in their body. Animals know how much fat they need. When their fat levels fall, many will migrate.However, if they wait too long, they will not have enough fat to make the journey.

Listen and RespondScriptAn InvitationA woman saw three old men sitting in her front yard. She said, “I don’t think I know you, but you must be hungry. Please come in and have something to eat.”“We do not go into a house together,” they replied.“Why is that?” she wanted to know.One of the old men explained: “His name is Wealth, this is Success, and I am Love.” Then he added, “Now go in and discuss with your husband which one of us you want in your home.”Then the woman went in and told her husband what was said. Her husband said, Let’s invite Wealth. Let him come and fill our home with wealth.” His wife disagrees, “My dear, why don’t we invite Success?” Then the daughter made a suggestion: “Wouldn’t it be better to invite Love? Our home will then be filled with love.”“Let’s take our daughter’s advice,: said the father.So the woman went out and asked, “Which one of you is Love? Please come in and be our guest.” Love got up and started walking toward the house. The other two also gut up and followed him. Surprised, the lady asked Wealth and Success: “I only invited Love. Why are you coming in?The old men replied together: “If you had invited Wealth or Success, the other two of us would have stayed out, but since you invited Love, wherever HE goes, we go with him. Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success.”Task One1)They are Wealth, Success and Love.2)No. because they had different ideas as to what they wanted most.3)Where there is Love, there are Wealth and Success.

For this we should feel grateful.2.These often remind us of those days when people of our parents’ generation were courting. Itwas an era of constraints, restraints, respect, admiration, and plenty of romance. But such an era is gone for ever, for young people today tend to behave differently.3.The younger generation is more selfish: they care too much about what they can get instead ofwhat they can share.4.People in a relationship need to do much more than just sending gifts to their lovers.

Aunt Susan was still in the grief of losing Uncle Robert. In soft voice she told us about their past years. Uncle Robert joined the army shortly after they were engaged. Given the critical situation at the time when lots of army men didn’t return alive, you can imagine how much overjoyed Aunt Susan was to see Uncle Robert come back safe and sound from the European battlefield. Then they got married and brought up five children. For all those years, their affection for each other grew stronger in the course of overcoming difficulties and hardships in life. I was fascinated by Uncle Susan’s story, which was totally different from my ideal of love. They practiced giving and sharing in their daily life instead of pursuing passion a nd romance. Amazingly, such love lasted through their whole life. But different peneratTheme-Related WritingSample Essay One:Male-female relations are indispensable to adults all through their lives. But different generations handle them differently. Our parents’generation lived in an era of constraints, restraints respect, admiration, and plenty of romance. They kept a distance from people of the opposite gender in order to preserve the holiness of love and relationships.My generation, on the other hand, began with countless crushes for opposite sex just because of their superficial charm. Harmless as they were, the love was as brief as soap bubbles. As we grew up, we came to the stage of developing real relationships, believing that love demanded a lot of give and not so much of take.By comparison, they younger generation is more open-minded and less restricted in handling the matter of love and relationships. They jump on the bandwagon of love with so much haste that it is difficult for them to distinguish between physical attraction and mental compatibilities.In short, the younger generation focuses more on physical beauty, closeness and passion, and they tend to seek what they want from the relationships. They other two generation give priority to inner charm, intimacy, emotion and sharing in dealing with relationships.Sample Essay Two:In order to know about girl students’ opinion about love and life, a survey with girl students was conducted in 2005 in two universities---Chongqing University of Technology and Business and East China Normal University. The survey sought answers to two questions: What do you look for first in a boyfriend? What’s the most important thing for a happy life?About one third of the student chose personality as the top factor in choosing a boyfriend, followed by 27 percent focusing on abilities. Next came common interests and goals, favored by 17 percent, with only 14 percent of students claiming appearance to be uppermost in their minds. Fewer still, 11 percent, rated economic status as the first consideration.As to their views about a happy life, nearly seventy percent of the girls attached the greatest importance to marriage and family. “Career”was given top priority by just under 20 percent, while even fewer, around 9 percent, believed that money was the key to a happy life.Based on the survey, we may conclude that nowadays, girl students generally hold a rational attitude towards love and life. Admittedly, the improved material conditions of life explain why girls take economic status and money rather lightly. But contrary to the popular view that girls are more concerned about self-development in the workplace and social status, they still regard marriage and family life as central to a happy life.。
