公共英语等级考试_2015年9月公共英语二级考试真题及答案

2015年9月公共英语二级考试真题及答案1-20 略第一节短文理解阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A.、B.、C.、D.四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Text lIt' s a time when school, homework, active social lives and part-time jobs keep teenagers (少年 ) busy from early in the morning until late at night. They are likely to try to make up for a lack of sleep by "sleeping in" on the weekends. Unfortunately, this causes irregular sleep and actually makes the problem worse.Most teenagers are not able to fall asleep until late at night. Since many teens aren't sleepy until around 11 p.m., but need to be at school by 7: 30 or 8: 00 a. m., they cannot get enough sleep. During puberty(青春期), the biological clock in the brain naturally re-sets to a later time, and this causes teens to fall asleep later. Then, when it' s time to get up, a teen' s body clock is likely to still be producing the night-time hormones(荷尔蒙). This makes it hard for them to feel active and energetic in the morning.A growing body of research suggests that starting high school later improves attendance, achievements and grades. A few years ago in an important study, test scores on the SAT college entrance exams in Edina, Minnesota jumped more than 100 points on average, when the morning school bell rang an hour later. Unfortunately, most schools are not set up to start later and fail to satisfy teen's sleep needs.21. What effect does "sleeping in" on the weekends have on teenagers?A. Improving their health.B. Weakening their energy.C. Disturbing their biological clock.D. Making up for their hormone loss.22. The study in Minnesota shows that starting morning school one hour later helps to________.A. make teenagers grow fasterB. change teenagers' sleep needsC. do more research on teenagersD. improve students' achievements23. The text helps us to know more about teenagers'A. daytime activitiesB. sleeping habitsC. mental problemsD. studying methods【参考答案】21．C【精析】细节题。

2015年高考全国卷2英语试题第Ⅰ卷第一部分听力（共两节，满分30分）略第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）AMy color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of clothes that wouldn’t fit. I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day later, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautiful when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night. Fortunately, I didn’t get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static(静电) noise. For some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉) shaking my set.When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my first, and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the sit is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble.21. Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?A.He got an older model than he had expected.B.He couldn’t return it when it was broken.C.He could have bought it at a lower price.D.He failed to find any movie shows on it.【参考答案】C【考查内容】细节理解题【解析思路】根据第一段第四行“when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid.”当我看到报纸上75美元比我买的价格低的时候，我感觉我上当了。

Choose the best word(s) for each numbered blank and mark A,B,Cor D on ANSWER SHEET 1.(10 points)In our contemporary culture, the prospect of communicating with - or even looking at - astranger is virtually unbearable. Everyone around us seems to agree by the way they cling to theirphones, even without a 1 on a subway.It ‘s a sad rea-l i t o yur desire to avoid interacting with other human beings-because there ‘s 2to be gained from talking to the stranger standing by you.

Answer the questions below each text by choosing A,B,C,or D.Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.(40 points)Text 1A new study suggests that contrary to most survey，s people are actually more stressed athome than at work. Researchers measured people ‘s cortisol, w e s h s i c m h a i s r k a e s r,t r w h i l e theywere at were work and while they were at home and found it higher at what is supposed to be aplace of refuge.―Further contradicting conventional wisdom, we found that women as well as men havelower levels of stress at work than athome.‖Write one of the researchers, Sarah Damaske.In factwomen even say they feel better at work, she notes, ―It is men, not women, who report being happier at home than at work. ‖Another surprise is that the findings hold true for both those with children and without, but more so for nonparents. This is why people who work outside the homehave better health.What the study doesn ‘t measure is whether people are still doing work when they ‘whether it is household work or work brought home from the office. For many men, the end of theworkday is a time to kick back. For women who say home, they never get to leave the office. Andfor women who work outside the home, they often are playing catch—up—with—household tasks.With the blurring of roles, and the fact that the home front lags well behind the workplace inmaking adjustments for working women, it ‘s not surprising that women are more stressed at home.But it ‘s not just a gender thing. At work, people pretty much know what they ‘re s be doing：working, making money, doing the tasks they have to do in order to draw an income.The bargain is very pure; Employee puts in hours of physical or mental labor and employee drawsout life—sustaining moola.On the home front, however, people have no such clarity. Rare is the household in which thedivision of labor is so clinically and methodically laid out. There are a lot of tasks to be done,thereare inadequate rewards for most of them. Your home colleague—s y our family—have no clearrewards for most of them. Your home colleague—s your family—have no clear rewards for theirlabor; they need to be talked into it, or if they ‘re teenagers, threatened with complete rem all electronic devices. Plus, they ‘re your family. You cannot f i r.e Y y o o u u n r e f a v m e r i l y r e a l y getto go home from home.So it ‘s not surprising that people are more stressed at home. Not only are the tasks apparently infinite, the co—workers are much harder to motivate.21.According to Paragraph 1，most previous surveys found that home .[A]was an unrealistic place for relaxation[B]generated more stress than the workplace[C]was an ideal place for stress measurement[D]offered greater relaxation than the workplace22.According to Damaske，who are likely to be the happiest at home?[A]Working mothers[B]Childless husbands[C]Childless wives[D]Working fathers23.The blurring of working women ‘s roles refers to the fact that .[A]they are both bread winners and housewives[B]their home is also a place for kicking back[C]there is often much housework left behind[D]it is difficult for them to leave their office24.The word ―moola‖(T，i n e P a4r a4)most probably means .[A]energy[B]skills[C]earnings[D]nutrition25.The home front differs from the workplace in that .[A]home is hardly a cozier working environment[B]division of labor at home is seldom clear-cut[C]household tasks are generally more motivating[D]family labor is often adequately rewardedText 2For years, studies have found that first-generation college studen–t t hose who do not have aparent with a college degree–lag other students on a range of education achievement factors.Their grades are lower than and their dropout rates are higher. But since such students are mostlikely to advance economically if they succeed in higher education, colleges and universities havepushed for decades to recruit more of them. This has created ―a paradox ‖ in that recruitin first-generation student, but then watching many of them fail, means that higher education has―continued to reproduce and widen, rather than close. ‖ An achievement gap based on social according to the depressing beginning of a paper forthcoming in the journal PsychologicalScience.But the article is actually quite optimistic, as it outlines a potential solution to this problem,suggesting that an approach (which involves a one-hour, next-to-no-cost program) can close 63percent of the achievement gap (measured by such factors as grades) between first-generation andother students.The authors of the paper are from different universities, and their findings are based on astudy involving 147 students (who completed the project) at an unnamed private university. Firstgeneration was defined as not having parent with four-year college degree. Most of thefirst-generation students (59.1 percent) were recipients of Pell Grants, a federal grant ofundergraduates with financial need, while this was true only for 8.6 percent of the students with atleast one parent with four-year degree.Their thesis–that a relatively modest intervention could have a big impact–was based onthe view that first-generation students may be most lacking not in potential but in practicalknowledge about how to deal with the issues that face most college students. They cite pastresearch by several authors to show that this is the gap that must be narrowed to close theachievement gap.Many first- generation students ―struggled to navigate t h e-c m l a i s d s d c l e u l t u r e of highereducation, learn the ?rules of the game, ‘ and take a d v a n r e t a s g o e u r o c f e c s o,lle‖gethey write. Andthis becomes more of a problem when colleges don ‘t talk about the class advantages and disadvantages of different groups of students. Because US colleges and universities seldomacknowledge how social class can affect studentseducational ‘e xperiences, many first-generationstudents lack of sight about why they are struggling and do not understand students ?like themcan improve. ‖26. Recruiting more first-generation students has .[A]. reduced their dropout rates[B]. narrowed the achievement gap[C]. missed its original purpose[D]. depressed college students27. The author of the research article are optimistic because .[A]. the problem is solvable[B]. their approach is costless[C]. the recruiting rate has increased[D]. their findings appeal to students28. The study suggests that most first-generation students .[A]. study at private universities[B]. are from single-parent families[C]. are in need of financial support[D]. have failed their college29. The author of the paper believe that first-generation students .[A]. are actually indifferent to the achievement gap[B]. can have a potential influence on other projects[C]. may lack opportunities to apply research projects[D]. are inexperienced in handling their issues at college30. We may infer from the last paragraph that .[A]. universities often reject the culture of their middle-class[B]. students are usually to blame for their lack of resources[C]. social class greatly helps enrich educational experiences.[D].colleges are partly responsible for the problem in questionText 3Even in traditional offices, ―the lingua franca of corporate America has gotten much more emotional and much more right-brained than it was 20 years ago, ‖said H n a e r s v s a r S d c B h u o s o i lprofessor Nancy Koehn. She started spinning off examples. ―If you and I parachuted back to Fortune 500 companies in 1990, we would see much less frequent use of terms like journey,mission, passion. There were goals, there were strategies, t h e e w r ere objectives, but we didn ‘t talk about energy; we didn ‘t talk about passion. ‖Koehn pointed out that this new era of corporate vocabulary is very -oriented—and―team‖not by coincidence. ―Let ‘s not f o r g e i t n s mp o a r l e t s-d o m i n—ated corporate America, its still a‘b igdeal. It ‘s not explicitly conscious; it ‘s the idea that I ‘m a coach, and you ‘re my this together. There are lots and lots of CEOs in very different companies, but most think ofthemselves as coaches and this is their t e a mnda t hey want to win. ‖These terms are also intended to infuse work with meanin—g and, as Khurana points out,increase allegiance to the firm. ―You have the importation of terminology that historically used to be associated with non-profit organizations and religious organizations: Terms like vision, values,passion, and purpose, ‖said Khurana.This new focus on personal fulfillment can help keep employees motivated amid increasinglyloud debates over work-life balance. The ―mommy wars‖of the 1990s g a o r i n e g s t o i l n l today,prompting arguments about why women still can ‘t have it all and books like Sheryl SandbergLean In, whose title has become a buzzword in its own right. Terms like unplug, offline, life-hack,bandwidth, and capacity are all about setting boundaries between the office and the home. But ifyour work is your ―passion, ‖you ‘ll be more likely to devote yourself to it, even if that meansgoing home for dinner and then working long after the kids are in bed.But this seems to be the irony of office speak: Everyone makes fun of it, but managers love it, companies depend on it, and regular people willingly absorb it. As Nunberg said, ―Yo people to think it ‘s nonsense at the same time that you buy into it. ‖In a workplace tha fundamentally indifferent to your life and its meaning, office speak can help you figure out howyou relate to your work—and how your work defines who you are.31. According to Nancy Koehn ,office languages become_____.[A] more emotional[B] more objective[C] less energetic[D] less strategic32. ‖Team-‖oriented corporate vocabulary is closely related to_____.[A] historical incidents[B] gender difference[C] sports culture[D] athletic executives33.Khurana believes that the importation of terminology aims to_____.[A] revive historical terms[B] promote company image[C] forster corporate cooperation[D] strengthen employee loyalty34.It can be inferred that Lean In_____.[A]voices for working women[B] appeals to passionate workaholics[C] triggers debates among mommies[D] praises motivated employees35.Which of the following statements is ture about office speak?[A]Managers admire it but avoid it.[B] Linguists believe it to be nonsense.[C]Companies find it to be fundamental.[D] Regular people mock it but accept it.Text 4Many people talked of the 288,000 new jobs the Labor Department reported for June, alongwith the drop in the unemployment rate to 6.1percent, as good news. And they were right. For nowit appears the economy is creating jobs at a decent pace. We still have a long way to go to get backto full employment, but at least we are now finally moving forward at a faster pace.However, there is another important part of the jobs picture that was largely overlooked.There was a big jump in the number of people who report voluntarily working part-time. Thisfigure is now 830,000 (4.4 percent) above its year ago level.Before explaining the connection to the Obamacare, it is worth making an important distinction. Many people who work part-time work because this is all they can get. An increase in involuntary part-time work is evidence of weakness in the labor market and it means that manypeople will be having a very hard time making ends meet.There was an increase in involuntary part-time in June, but the general direction has been down. Involuntary part-time employment is still far higher than before the recession, but it is downby 640,000(7.9percent) from is its year level.We know the difference between voluntary and involuntary part-time employment because people tell us. The survey used by the Labor Department asks people if they worked less than 35hours in the reference week. If the answer is ―yes, ‖they are c l a s s-i f t e m d e a.s T h w e o r k i n g part survey then asks whether they worked less than 35 hours in that week because they wanted towork less than full time or because they had no choice. They are only classified as voluntarypart-time workers if they tell the survey taker they chose to work less than 35 hours a week.The issue of voluntary part-time relates to Obamacare because one of the main purpose wasto allow people to get insurance outside of employment. For many people, especially those withserious health conditions or family members with serious health conditions, before Obamacare theonly way to get insurance was through a job that provided health insurance.However, Obamacare has allowed more than 12 million people to either get insurancethrough Medicaid or the exchanges. These are people who may previously have felt the need toget a full-time job that provided insurance in order to cover themselves and their families. With Obamacare there is no longer a link between employment and insurance.36.Which part of the jobs picture was neglected?[A] The prospect of a thriving job market.[B] The increase of voluntary part-time jobs.[C] The possibility of full employment.[D] The acceleration of job creation.37.Many people work part-time because they_____.[A] prefer part-time jobs to full-time jobs.[B] feel that is enough to make ends meet.[C] cannot get their hands on full-time jobs.[D] haven ‘t seen the weakness of the market.38.Involuntary part-time employment in the US____.[A] is harder to acquire than one year ago.[B] shows a general tendency of decline.[C] satisfies the real need of the jobless.[D] is lower than befor the recession.39.It can be learned that with Obamacare,_____.[A] it is no longer easy for part-times to get insurance.[B] employment is no longer a precondition to get insurance.[C] it is still challenging to get insurance for family members.[D] full-time employment is still essential for insurance.40.The text mainly discusses_____.[A] employment in the US.[B] part-timer clssification.[C] insurance through Medicaid.[D] Obamacare ‘s trouble.PART BDirections:Read the following text and answer the questions by choosing the most suitable subheading from the list A-G for each paragraph (41-45). There are two extra subheadings which you do not need to use. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. (10 points)[A]You are not alone[B]Don ‘t fear responsibility for your life[C]Pave your own unique path[D] Most of your fears are unreal[E] Think about the present moment[F]Experience helps you grow[G]There are many things to be grateful forSome Old Truths to Help You Overcome Tough TimesUnfortunately, life is not a bed of roses. We are going through life facing sad experiences. Moreover, we are grieving various kinds of loss: a friendship, a romantic relationship or a house. Hard times may hold you down at what usually seems like the most inopportune time, but you should remember that they won't last forever.When our time of mourning is over, we press forward, stronger with a greater understanding and respect for life. Furthermore, these losses make us mature and eventually move us toward future opportunities for growth and happiness. I want to share these old truths I've learned along the way.41.__________________Fear is both useful and harmful. This normal human reaction is used to protect us by signaling danger and preparing us to deal with it. Unfortunately, people create inner barriers with ahelp of exaggerating fears. My favorite actor Will Smith once said, ―Fear is not real. It is of thoughts you create. Do not misunderstand me. Danger is v r y e r eal. But fear is a choice. ‖I do completely agree that fears are just the product of own luxuriant imagination.42.__________________If you are surrounded by problems and cannot stop thinking about past, try to focus on thepresent moment. Many of us are weighed down by the past or anxious about the future. You mayfeel guilt over your past, but you are poisoning the present with the things and circumstances youcannot change. Value the present moment and remember how fortunate you are to be alive. Enjoythe beauty of the world around and keep the eyes open to see the possibilities before you.Happiness is not point of future and not a moment from the past, but a mindset thancan bedesigned in to the present.43.__________________Sometimes it is easy to feel bad because you are going to through tough times. You can beeasily caught up by life problems that you forget to pause and appreciate the things you have.Only strong people prefer to smile and value their life instead of crying and complaining aboutsomething.44.__________________No matter how isolated you might feel and how serious the situation is, you should alwaysremember that you are not alone. Try to keep in mind that almost everyone respects and wants tohelp you if you are trying to make a good change in your life, especially your dearest and nearestpeople. You may have a circle of friends or relatives, try to participate in several onlinecommunities, full of people who are always willing to share advice and encouragement.45.__________________Today many people find it difficult to trust their own opinion and seek balance by gainingobjectivity from external sources. This way you devalue your opinion and show that you areincapable of managing your own life. When you are struggling to achieve something importantyou should believe in yourself and be sure that your decision is the best. You live in your skin,think your own thoughts, have your own values and make your own choices.Section III Translation46. DirectionsTranslate the following text into Chinese. Write your translation on the ANSWER SHEET.(15 points)Think about driving a route that ‘s very familiar. It could be your comminutes to work, a tripinto town or the way home. Whichever it is, you know every twist step turn like the back of yourhand. On these steps of trips it ‘s easy to lose concentration is that you perceive that the trip has taken less time than it actually has.This is the well-travelled road effect. People tend to underestimate the time it takes to travel afamiliar route.The effect is caused by the way we allocate our attention. When we travel down awell- k nown route, because we don ‘t have to concentrate much, time seems to flow more quickly. And afterward, when we come to think back on it, we can‘t remember the journey well becausewe didn ‘t pay much attention to it. So we assume it was shorter.Section IV WritingPart A47. DirectionsSuppose your university is going to host a summer camp for high school students. Write a note to1) briefly introduce the camp activities, and2) call for volunteersYou should write about 100 words on the ANSWER SHEET.Do not use your name or the name of your university.Do not write your address.

2015年英语二阅读理解

2015年英语二阅读理解2015年英语二阅读理解真题及答案Passage OneThe concept of a brand is a central concept of marketing and marketing management. A brand is a name, term, sign, symbol, or design, or a combination of these, intended to identify the goods and services of one seller or group of sellers and to differentiate them from those of competitors. A brand can include both tangible and intangible elements, such as the product's name, packaging, and image, as well as the product's reputation and the associated meanings and values. Brands play a crucial role in the marketing process because they serve as symbols that identify the seller and communicate the identity and distinct features of the product to potential customers.One of the key elements that distinguish brands is their degree of centralization. Some brands are highly centralized, with a single entity controlling the brand's image and presentation across allchannels of distribution. Other brands are less centralized, with different entities controlling the brand in different channels. The degree of centralization can vary for many reasons, including the type of business model, the number of distribution channels, and the nature of the product or service.Another key element that affects a brand's distinctiveness is its level of abstraction. Brands can range from being highly concrete to being highly abstract. Concrete brands have a strong visual identity that is easily recognizable and associated with specific products or services. Abstract brands are less visually oriented and more focused on evoking emotional responses or conveying abstract meanings or values. Brands that fall in between these two extremes also exist, with their degrees of abstraction varying depending on the specific marketing strategy chosen by the seller.The final key element that contributes to a brand's distinctiveness is its range of meanings and values. Brands can have a variety of meanings and values associated with them, such as quality, reliability, innovation, and desirability. The specific meanings and values that are emphasized by a brand are important in differentiating it fromother brands. Brands that successfully communicate these meanings and values to their target markets can build strong emotional connections with their customers and create a unique identity in the market place.1. The primary purpose of this passage is to ____.A. explain the importance of brands in marketingB. describe the differences between concrete and abstract brandsC. discuss the key elements that contribute to a brand's distinctivenessD. emphasize the role of brands in selling products2. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a key element that contributes to a brand's distinctiveness?A. CentralizationB. AbstractionC. PriceD. Meanings and values3. The author mentions all of the following as examples of tangible elements of a brand EXCEPT ____.A. nameB. packagingC. reputationD. image4. According to the passage, why are brands important in the marketing process?A. They allow potential customers to identify the seller.B. They communicate the identity and distinct features of products to potential customers.C. They create emotional connections with customers.D. They help sellers control the brand's image and presentation across all channels of distribution.5. Which of the following best summarizes the passage?A. Brands are symbols that identify sellers and their products in marketing.B. The centralization of brands affects their distinctiveness in marketing.C. The abstraction level of brands determines their success in marketing.D. The range of meanings and values associated with brands creates emotional connections with customers.。

AMy color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn’t fit. I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day later, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seven-five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night.Fortunately, I didn’t get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static(静电) noise. For some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradully, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉) shaking my set.When neither of these methods removed the static noise ,I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away.At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist,and it stopped working altogether.My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the set is working well now,but I keep expecting more trouble.1. Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?A.He got an older model than he had expected.B.He couldn’t return it when it was broken.C.He could have bought it at a lower price.D.He failed to find any movie shows on it.2. Which of the following can best replace the phrase”signed off”in Paragraph 1?A.ended all their programsB.provided fewer channelsC.changed to commercialsD.showed all-night movies3. How did the author finally get his TV set working again?A. By shaking and hitting it.B. By turning it on and off.C. By switching channels.D. By having it repaired.4. How does the anthor sound when telling the story?A. CuriousB. AnxiousC. CautiousD. HumorousBYour house may have an effect on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of diet plan.Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating , for people are often less self-conscious（难为情）when they’re in poorly lit places-and so more likely to eat lots of food . If your home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study , people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room . Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing , while cold colors make us feel less hungry . So when it’s time to repaint, go blue.Don’t forget the clock-or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories（卡路里）per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes. And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.Downsize the dishs. Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one ,total intake（摄入）jumps by 14 percent. And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.5. The text is especially helpful for those who care about_______.A. their home comfortsB. their body shapeC. house buyingD. healthy diets6. A home environment in blue can help people_________.A.digest food betterB.reduce food intakeC.burn more caloriesD.regain their appetites7. What are people advised to do at mealtimes?A. Eat quickly.B. Play fast music.C. Use smaller spoons.D. Turn down the lights.8. What can be a suitable title for the test?A.Is Your Hourse Making You Fat?B.Ways of Serving DinnerC.Effects of Self-ConsciousnessD. Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?CMore student than ever cefore are taking a gap-year (间隔年)before going touniversity.It used to be called the “year off”between school and university.The gap-year phenomenon originated(起源) with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants between entrance exams in November and the start of the next academic year.This year, 25,310 students who have accepted places in higher education institutions have put off their entry until next year, according to statistics on university entrance provided by the University and College Admissions Service(UCAS).That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year. Tony Higgins from UCAS said that the statistics are good news for everyone in higher education. “Students who take a well-planned year out are more likely to be satisfied with, and complete, their chosen course. Students who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible,” h e said.But not everyone is happy. Owain James, the president of the National Union of Students (NUS), argued that the increase is evidence of student hadship –young people are being forced into earning money before finishing their education.“New students are now aware that they are likely to leave university up to ￡15,000 in debt. It is not surprising that more and more students are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree.NUS statistics show that over 40% of students are forced to work during term time and the figure increases to 90% during vacation periods,”he said.9. What do we learn about the gap year from the text?A. It is flexible in length.B. It is a time for relaxation.C. It is increasingly popular.D. It is required by universities.10. According to Tony Higgins, students taking a gap year______.A.are better prepared for college studiesB.know a lot more about their future jobsC.are more likely to leave university in debtD.have a better chance to enter top universities11. How does Owain James feel about the gap-year phenomenon?A. He's puzzled.B. He's worried.C. He's surprised.D. He's annoyed.12. What would most students do on their vacation according to NUS statistics?A. Attend additional courses.B. Make plans for the newterm.C. Earn money for their education.D.Prepare for their graduatestudies.DChoose Your One-Day Tours!Tour A-Bath & Stonchenge including entrance fees to the ancient Roman bathrooms and Stonehenge-￡37until 26 March and ￡39 thereafter.Visit the city with over 2,000 years of history and Bath Abbey,the RoyalCrescent and the Costume Museum.Stonehenge is one of the world’s most famous prehistoric monuments dating back over 5,000 years.Tour B-Oxford & Stratford including entrance fees to the University St Mary’s Church Tower and Anne Hathaway's house-￡32 until 12 March and -￡36 thereafter.Oxford: Includes a guided of Eng land’s oldest university city and colleges.
