Schools in France, Egypt, Singapore, etc, have also recently made top-level hires from abroad. Higher education has become a big and competitive business nowadays, and like so many businesses, it’s gone global. Yet the talent flow isn’t universal. High-level personnel tend to head in only one direction: outward from America.The chief reason is that American schools don’t tend to seriously consider looking abroad. For example, when the board of the University of Colorado searched for a new president, it wanted a leader familiar with the state government, a major source of the university’s budget. “We didn’t do any global consideration,” says Patricia Hayes, the board’s chair. The board ultimately picked Bruce Benson, a 69-year-old Colorado businessman and political activist (活动家) who is likely to do well in the main task of modern university presidents: fund-raising. Fund-raising is a distinctively American thing, since U.S. schools rely heavily on donations. The fund-raising ability is largely a product of experience and necessity.Many European universities, meanwhile, are still mostly dependent on government funding. But government support has failed to keep pace with rising student number. The decline in government support has made funding-raising an increasing necessary ability among administrators and has hiring committees hungry for Americans.In the past few years, prominent schools around the world have joined the trend. In 2003, when Cambridge University appointed Alison Richard, another former Yale provost, as its vice-chancellor, the university publicly stressed that in her previous job she had overseen “a major strengthening of Yale’s financial position.”Of course, fund-raising isn’t the only skill outsiders offer. The globalization of education means more universities will be seeking heads with international experience of some kind of promote international programs and attract a global student body. Foreigners can offer a fresh perspective on established practices.41. What is the current trend in higher education discussed in the passage?A) Institutions worldwide are hiring administrators from the U.S.B) A lot of political activists are being recruited as administrators.C) American universities are enrolling more international students.D) University presidents are paying more attention to funding-raising.42. What is the chief consideration of American universities when hiring top-level administrators?A) The political correctness. B) Their ability to raise funds.C) Their fame in academic circles. D) Their administrative experience.43. What do we learn about European universities from the passage?A) The tuitions they charge have been rising considerably.B) Their operation is under strict government supervision.C) They are strengthening their position by globalization.D) Most of their revenues come from the government.44. Cambridge University appointed Alison Richard as its vice-chancellor chiefly because _____.A) she was known to be good at raising money B) she could help strengthen its ties with YaleC) she knew how to attract students overseas D) she had boosted Yale’s academic status45. In what way do top-level administrators from abroad contribute to university development?A) They will bring with them more international faculty. B) They can enhance the university’s image. C) They will view a lot of things from a new perspective. D) They can set up new academic disciplines.BActing legend Elizabeth Taylor has passed away. She leaves behind her own life-long movie of ups and downs, marriage and divorce, and sickness and recovery. The world of entertainment is mourning the death of the last classic movie star.Taylor died of congestive heart failure in Los Angeles at the age of 79.Taylor's more than 50 movies included unforgettable portraits of innocence and of decadence(堕落), from the children's classic "National Velvet"《玉女神驹》to Oscar-winning transgressions in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" 《谁怕弗吉尼亚·澳尔夫》and "Butterfield 8"《巴塔费尔德第八》.Fans gathered on Hollywood's Walk of Fame to pay tribute（讼词）to the actress. They placed tributes on her star and recalled about highlights of her career.Sandra, Hollywood, California, said, "Well, she just led an amazing life, and she went out with style."Phil Schuman, Repor ter of KTTV in Los Angeles, said, "Well, I mean, her whole life story: child star, remarkably beautiful, all the marriages, almost dying, then all of her great work with AIDS research, Michael Jackson's best friend. It's just a one-of-a-kind story, I think."Taylor was not only the most blessed actress, but also the most loyal of friends and defender of homosexuals in Hollywood. She won a special Oscar, the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award for her efforts to support AIDS research."Is this something that we can bear? No. The AIDS crisis is not over." Taylor once said.Taylor's private life is also a legend. She was a star at age 12, a bride and a divorcee at 16, a superstar at 19 and a widow at 26. She has married 8 times. One of her former husbands, former U.S. Senator John Warner, 84, paid tribute to the late star during an event in Washington.46．Elizabeth Taylor experienced all the following in her life EXCEPT______.A. ups and downsB. marriage and divorceC. sickness and recoveryD.

No, this isn’t a fairy tale. If you could grab your diving gear and swim down 650 feet into the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Washington State, you would witness the secret world of glass reefs.The reef you’d be looking at is made up of glass sponges(海绵). But how can animals be made of glass? Well, glass is formed from a substance called silica. The sponges use the silica found in ocean waters to build glass structures that will give them shape and support. Be careful! Some of the fragile creatures are up to 200 years old.When sponges die, new ones grow on top of the pile of old ones. Over centuries, a massive and complex reef takes shape. Some sponges look like wrinkled trumpets, while others look like overgrown cauliflower or mushrooms.Dr. Paul Johnson, who discovered the Washington reef in 2007, also found other surprises such as bubbles of methane(甲烷) gas flowing out of the seafloor nearby. The methane feeds bacteria, and the bacteria feed the glass sponges.“It’s a new ecosystem we know nothing about,” said Dr. Johnson.The reef of yellow and orange glass sponges is crowded with crabs, shrimp, starfish, worms, snails, and rockfish. The glass reef is also a nursery for the babies of many of these creatures and was called a “kindergarten” by scientists.Many animals that live in the reef hang around for a long time, just like the sponges. Rockfish, for example, live for more than 100 years. Scientists are just beginning to study all the species that call the reef home. ks5u The Washington coast isn’t the only place where a living glass reef has been found. The first was discovered in Hecate Strait off the coast of British Columbia in 1991. Scientists all over the world were stunned to see it.50.

Because thousands of children visit it every year.C. Because it is crowded with snails and rockfish, etc.D. Because all the species call the reef home.54. What does the underlined word “stunned” in the last paragra ph mean?A. Greatly surprised.B. Extremely scared.C. Highly satisfied.D. Very pleased. ks5uDMy pretty girlfriend had a failed marriage in the past. After divorce, her parents shed the deepest protection and care to her by helping her attend to the child and offering financial aids. Her parents’ love made her pull herself together and forget the man who had hurt her before.Nonetheless, her father, an honest and upright old man, after hearing his ex-son-in-law got promoted in his company, felt terrifically irritated （激怒）and went to his company to question his boss why a philandering（沾花惹草的）man with corrupt conducts could get promoted. The whole office fell into a mess immediately and many staf f just watched on the sidelines. Some people even whispered lightly, “It is a new era now and the relationship between men and women is very open. No one would care about that any more!”The old man stood silently in the office with his hands shivering and eyes tearing.That night, my girlfriend cried heavily in front of me. I asked her whether it was her father’s stupid deeds that made her feel shamed. But she said that she felt guilty for her dad and that though the rest of the whole world betrayed her, her old father would still back her up and help her get the justice she deserved, just as when she was young and the neighboring boy grabbed her ball, her father would get it back for her. However, this changed world was no longer the stage for her old father and his deeds became funnily obsolete（老式的）. No one managed to see the real and ever-lasting love to his daughter behind his seemingly rude behaviors.Now we have grown up, so much so that we could support our family and have our own children. But in our parents’ heart, they are still worried about us. They even would not like us to suffer a bit and try all means to protect us without caring about whether what they do is awkward and stupid or not.Who in the world would love us so deeply and relentlessly without asking for any repay? Only our parents!55. The friend’s parents of the author helped _______ after her divorce.A. look after her childB. find another husband for herC. scold her ex-husbandD. make money for her56．Why did the friend’s father go to his ex-son-in-law’s company?A. Because he wanted to ask his ex-son-in-law to remarry his daughter.B. Because he was angry at his ex-son-in-law conducts.C. Because he wanted the boss not to promote his ex-son-in-law.D. Because his ex-son-in-law hurt his daughter.57. From the fourth paragraph we know that _____________.A. the friend cried heavily because of her father’s stupid deedsB. the friend was too shamed of her fatherC. her father loved her more than beforeD. the friend firmly believes her father’s deep loveEOver the years I’ve been teaching kids about a simple but powerful spirit—the ant philosophy(哲学)．I think we should study ants．Ants have an amazing four-part philosophy, and here is the first part：they never quit．That’s a good philosophy. If they’re head ed somewhere and you try to stop them，they’ll look for another way．They’ll climb over, and they’ll climb around．They keep looking for another way．What a neat philosophy to never quit looking for a way to get where they’re supposed to go．Second，ants think winter all summer. That’s an important perspective（态度，观点）．You can’t be so naive （无知的）as to think summer will last forever．So ants are gathering their winter food in summer．An ancient story says, “Don’t build your house on the sand in summer．”There is some reason in what it says．It is important to think ahead．In summer, you’ve to think about the storm．You’ve got to think about rocks you enjoy the sand and sun．The third part of the ant philosophy is that ants think summer all winter．That is so important．During the winter, ants remind themselves，“This won’t last long；we’ll soon be out of here．”And on the first warm day，the ants are out．If it turns cold again，they’ll go back，but then they come out again if it is warm．They can’t wait to get out．And here is the last part of the ant philosophy. How much will an ant gather during the summer to prepare for the winter? All that he possibly can．What an incredible(难以置信的)philosophy, the“all-that-you-possibly-can” philosophy．What a great philosophy to have the ant philosophy! Never give up，look ahead，stay active and do all you can．58．If ants have trouble reaching somewhere, they will_________．A．give up their effort at last B．1ook for others’ helpC. wait for a chance to come D．get there in another way59．In Paragraph 3，people are advised __________．A．to build their houses in winter B．to gather some food in winterC．to build the house on the sand in summer D．to think about the storm in summer60．The third part of the ant philosophy is ___________．A．more important than the other threeB．to believe in yourself and think about no difficultyC．to be active and make use of every opportunityD．that we should know winter is longer than summer四、选词填空 (共10小题; 每小题1分, 共10分)Directions: In this section, there is a passage with 15 blanks.
