AThe Cost of Higher EducationIndividuals(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,social 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 onthe resources(资源)of the ing taxpayers'money to help small number of people to earn high incomes in the future 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 the 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 more 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 free 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,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“them”in Paragraph2refers to.A.taxpayersB.pressing callsC.college graduatesernment resources22.The author thinks that with full government funding___________.A.teachers are less satisfiedB.students are more demandingC.students will become more competentD.teachers will spend less time on teaching23.The author mentions businesses in Paragraph5in order to_____________.A.argue against free university educationB.call on them to finance students'studiesC.encourage graduates to go into businessD.show their contribution to higher educationBSitting is an art that isn't getting passed along.People 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 isn't sitting--it's 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 winter.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 sitting 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 Ethel’s illness,and how well the minister did today.They may just talk a load of garbage and even gesture with their hands when they become excited.Outside,the younger generation,the children would play on the ground,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)doesn't look as if it's doing anything either.Sitting restores your soul.If you want to enjoy a truly full life, don't 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 should take things easy for their own good.25.We can learn from the second paragraph that__________.A.people lived a more restful life in the pastB.towns were built to make living convenientC.small town garages had a lot to offerD.people enjoyed going out for a drive26.The sitting room mentioned in the text used to be a place for___________.A.eating foodB.watching TVC.gathering togetherD.playing with children27.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 important 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,and metal containers are produced and these are difficult to get rid of.However,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 shampoo 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 their products to make sure that they are“green”that is,friendly to the environment Only 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 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 attitude 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.It becomes clear from the text that the driving force(动力)behind green products isA.public caring for the environmentpanies'desire for bigger salesC.new ways of doing businessD.rapid growth of supermarkets29.What would be the best title for the text?A.Business and PeopleB.Business Goes GreenC.Shopping Habits Are ChangingD.Supermarkets and Green products30.The underlined word"it”in the fourth paragraph refers toA.a selling pointB.the company nameC.a great demand for health foodsD.the manufacturing of green products第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
