Rubin ________ Greenspan ________ at odds.3. Visitors ________ flocking to Mao ’s birth place.4. ________ man ________ quizzed after ________ wife is knifed in ________ sports store.Part Ⅱ Read the following passage and answer the Questions A 5-34 (1% for each,30%) and B 35-44 (2% for each,20%)A Tuition Reform for Higher EducationChinese institutions of higher learning have quickened their pace of reform in recent years. Changing enrollment practices and higher tuition fees constitute and important part of the reform. Schools which once admitted students almost exclusively according to state plans are becoming more accepting of students sent by work groups for further training and those who pay their own fees.Regular universities and colleges plan to enroll about 786 200 students this year, up 158 200 or 25 percent over last year's figure. Of these, 216 000, or 27.4 percent, will be sent by their work groups or will pay their own way.In the past, the state paid all tuition and school fees for university students, a matter of policy since New China was established in 1949. Although this practice guaranteed the supply of qualified personnel, it brought a heavy burden to the sate, hindering further development of higher education. Since higher education is non —compulsory education in China, to charge appropriate fees will help improve school facilities and expedite the development of education in this stage. As an added benefit, paying their own way will encourage students to study harder.The reform will take effect in two directions. State—financed students will begin paying part of the costs of their education, and more self—paying students will be accepted.In August 1989, under the direction of the State council, the State Education Commission, the Ministry of Finance and the Sate Price Bureau drew up stipulations concerning the amount of charges on tuition, accommodation and other expenses for students of institutions of higher learning. Beginning from that year, freshmen at regular universities and colleges and professional schools (including cadres taking special training courses and students working on a second degree) were charged 100 yuan (about us $17) each for their tuition fee, and this low charge is expected to be raised gradually. The figure was higher in special economic zones and economically developed regions such as Guangdong Province and Shanghai, but was capped at 300 yuan. Students living on campus paid about 20 yuan per year for accommodation and the charge was slightly higher for better furnishing. Normal school students and those admitted on scholarships need only pay for accommodation. Reduced tuitions and fees are available to students in need of financial assistance, but accommodation expenses will remain the same.In June 1992, the State Education Commission, the Ministry of Finance and the State Price Bureau decided to allow regular institutions of higher education to set their own tuition rates and charges for accommodation, short—term training programs, correspondence courses and night school. These should be determined according to the needs of each school, the abilities of students to pay and general conditions in each area. The tuition for students in the sciences and engineering can range from 300 to 500 yuan per academic year. Liberal arts, history and economics students of the fine arts pay 400 to 600 yuan per year, and students of the fine arts 400 to 750 yuan. Statistics for 1992 show students paid an average of 340 yuan in tuition that year, only 5 percent of the real cost.Measures have been taken to limit the possible detrimental affects of rising tuition. Shanghai, for instance, exempts the children of revolutionary martyrs from paying tuition. And these costs may be reduced or waived for students with limited family financial support as their parents are either both dead or are receiving subsidiesfrom their work units. Some colleges have also set up work—study programs to benefit students with financial difficulties.Guidelines concerning self—paying students were first set out in 1989. The State Education Commission, the Ministry of Finance and the State Price Bureau stipulated that these students should pay 80 percent of the cost of their education. Such students who live on campus pay the standard rate for accommodation and must cover their own medical expenses. The charge for each self—paying student averaged 2 000 yuan of the cost in 1992, or 30 percent of the cost. Charges for undergraduates and students of special colleges whose education is sponsored by work units, with payment coming either in part or in full from their units, are somewhat higher. Self—paying students are not assigned jobs by the state after graduation, whereas students sent by their units will return to them after graduating.Charges for correspondence courses and night school are equal to or slightly higher than those for full-time students enrolled according to the state plan.With their improvement of their living standards and the deepening of reform, people in general accept the changes in the tuition system. To facilitate the development of higher education, the increases in tuition rates will be more flexible and diversified. Student payments will be augmented by finding from the state, enterprises and funds raised from the public. Laws and regulations will by enacted to ensure steady progress, and overseas organizations and individuals are encouraged to set up and operate schools in China.--21st Century, Apr.20, 1992 Reading ComprehensionCircle the letter that best suits the answer or completes the statement.5.

Fortunately, no lives are at stake in the latter conflict. Yet if it spreads unchecked, the rest of the world is sure to feel the pain of it.密 封 线 内 不 要 答 题It's hard to decide whether the U.S. or Europe deserves the most contempt for expanding their trade war. The first fight, over bananas, is essentially a struggle between two fruit distributors with strong political connections. Now Washington and Brussels are escalatingtheir battle over beef, with European farmers stooping to science in their claims that hormone-treated American beef is unsafe.In his first term in office, President Bill Clinton teamed up with the Republicans to push major free-trade liberalizations. Now, however, he seems bent on pursuing 'level even if playing fields,'torpedoing the world economy. The latest salvo was fired this week, with the U.S. announcing it has targeted close to $1 billion of European products for 100% tariffs if the European Union doesn't drop the hormone nonsense.The move follows an earlier announcement that the U.S. administration will fight Europe's banana import regime by hitting a range of European goods with prohibitive tariffs. Add to this renewed American threats to raise the drawbridge to Russian, Japanese and Brazilian steel, as well as administration support for a congressional vote to ban Concorde flights from Europe in relation for EU threats to refuse landing rights to old-American planes retrofitted with noise reducing technology.Mr. Clinton sounded the protectionist battle cry in his January State of the Union address, where he vowed to fight for 'a freer and fairer trading system for 21st century America.' In the case of agriculture, when the respective lobbies on both sides of the Atlantic enter the fray, that translates into a sticky situation. On the whole, American farmers are major exporters. And U.S. farmers have a good case on beef hormones. But it is nonetheless dangerous for the U.S. to shut off $1 billion in trade.This is not to excuse the EU. The hormone argument is nonsense. The World Trade Organization has acknowledged as much, ordering the EU to allow imports of American meat by May 13. Brussels has responded by saying that it needs more time because European citizens, who supposedly don't like hormones in their food, would rebel against their governments if American meat suddenly appeared on their store shelves.Were it not for the high stakes involved for both producers and consumers, the argument might be amusing. When governments curtail trade the global economy shrinks and for all the jobs 'saved' by protections, there are a lot more lost. The Smoot-Hawleyagricultural protections imposed by the U.S. Congress in the late 1920s certainly contributed to the Great Depression. Mr. Clinton may believe he is fighting the good fight. But we've never thought much of the kind of war where you pose even when you win.Judge whether the following statement are True or False:35. ( ) The Trade war between the U.S. and the EU has cost no lives but is equally dangerous.36. ( ) It's very easy to decide who is to blame for expanding the trade war.37. ( ) The very beginning of the trade war suggests that it bears political significance.38. ( ) The author agrees that hormone-treated beef is harmful to one's health.39. ( ) President Bill Clinton used to be a believer of free trade, but not now.40. ( ) Level playing fields ca do good to the world economy.41. ( ) Besides its trade war with the EU, the U.S. is also in conflict with Japan, Russia and Brazil.42. ( ) The author thinks that in the case of beef, the American farmers are justified.43. ( ) The author thinks that it is a right decision for the U.S. to shut off $1 billion in trade.44. ( ) The two sides have submitted the case of beef to the WTO for settlement.for each,20%)The Rich Get Richer and ElectedBy Steven V. RobertsThe representatives newly elected in 1984 were almost four times as wealthy as thefirst-term lawmakers elected only six years before, according to a new study based one themembers’ financial reports.Behind this remarkable a swing, the study says, are two main factors: a courtdecision that outlawed limits on what candidates could give to their own campaigns,and the enormous growth in the cost of pursuing a seat in Congress. As a result, it isincreasingly difficult for candidates of modest means, particularly women, to mountsuccessful challenges to entrenched office holders.One solution, the authors contend, is a system of public financing for campaigns,but Congress seems in no mood to change the political rules any time soon.“The lower chamber is going upper class,” said Mark Green, the president of The Democracy Project, a public policy institute based in New York. “But this evolution from a House of Representatives to a House of Lords denies the diversity of our democracy. It establishes a de facto property qualification for office that increasingly says: low and middle income need not apply.”The Democracy Project produced the study in cooperation with the United States Public Interest Research Group, a similar institute situated in Washington. But their research was not entirely theoretical. In 1980 Mr. Green was the unsuccessful Democratic candidate for Congress in New York's 15th District, in Manhattan. The winner was Bill Green, one of the wealthiest members of Congress.Of Assets and MillionairesMembers of Congress must report their assets in broad categories, not exact numbers, so the figures in the study are not precise. But the minimum average wealth of the 43 lawmakers first elected last year was $251,292. Six years earlier, the 74 new members reported an average of only $41,358 in assets. With inflation figured in, the increase was almost 400 percent in real terms.Moreover, financial data on the class of 1978 indicated only one millionaire, William F. Clinger Jr., a Pennsylvania Republican. Last year's newcomers included 15 possible millionaires, more than a third of the entire group. Topping the list was Joseph J. Dioguardi, a Westchester Republican, who listed assets of $1 million to $2.46 million.The main reason for the change, Mr. Green maintains, is the Supreme Court decision of 1976 in the case of Buckley V. Valeo. In that case, the Court ruled that limits mandated by Congress on the amount a candidate could give to his or her own campaign were an unconstitutional abridgment of individual rights. At the same time, the Court upheld limits on amounts contributed by outsiders.“Quite naturally”, Mr. Green said, “this puts a premium on personal wealth.The 43 Representatives newly elected in 1984 spent an average of $459,344; of that, $50,329 was their own money in an average case. Eight of the 43 spent more密封线内不要答题than $100,000 in personal funds but the clear leader was Tommy F. Robinson, an Arkansas Democrat, who contributed $441, 167 to his own campaign. Mr. DioGuardi was next with a personal donation of $210,000.The Senate Puts an even higher premium on wealth. Last year the average candidate for the Senate spent $2 million, and the roster of millionaires in the Senate is steadily growing.The second factor putting a premium on personal wealth, Mr. Green argues, is the rapid rise of political action committees. They tend to favor incumbents with their campaign contributions, and a result, Mr. Green says, is that it takes a wealthy challenger to make a race of things.One apparent effect is the obstacle this poses for women who run for Congress. While women in rapidly rising numbers are capturing local and state offices, their representation on the national level has stayed static. The class of 1984 included only two women: Helen D. Bentley of Maryland and Jan Meyers of Kansas, both Republicans.“It is largely men who control wealth in America,” Mr. Green said, “and if wealth is a major variable in political success, that automatically means more men will run and win.”Fred Wertheimer, president of Common Cause, the public affairs lobby that , if you're not personally wealthy, and you're not willing to indebt yourself to the PAC's, you face an uphill struggle just to get your message on the table.The authors of the study argue that some form of public financing for campaigns should be instituted. “Competition for public office should be based more upon merit than money,” asserted Gene Karpinski, executive director of the public interest research group.Mr. Wertheimer argues that “members of Congress know they have a national scandal on their hands ” and are willing to consider public financing, or at least a total limit on PAC contributions. But the chances for change in the current system remain decidedly poor.Obviously the current occupants of Capitol Hill have kept their seats under the present rules, which clearly favor incumbents. Accordingly, Mr. Green maintains, Congress is still probably “several scandals away ” from a serious push to change the campaign system.密 封 线 内 不 要 答 题(From The New York Times, September 24, 1985)45. Why has the House of Representatives been changing into a rich man's club or a House of Lords?46. In what way did the Court decision favor the wealthy candidates?47. Are women far behind men in getting Congressional offices? Please give an example for your answer.48. What role do political action committees play in a campaign for public office? 49. According to the author of the study, on what basis should the political race for public office be placed?Part Ⅵ Translate the following into Chinese .(20%)How to negotiateThe US is an attractive market. Its business culture, which has brought the world “shareholder value ” and “IPOs ”, has been leading commercial thinking in recent years and will continue to do so. But whoever wants to succeed in the US needs to remember the rules of the game.US business is described by the lyrics of the song New York, New York: “If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere!” Yet a euphoric approach to business is by no means enough. Although business communication in the US is pleasant and easygoing, it is at the same time ruthlessly focused.Communicating is natural talent of Americans. When negotiating partners meet, the emphasis is on small talk and smiling. There is liberal use of a sense of humour that is more direct than it is in the UK. If you give a talk in America, you should speak in a relaxed way and with plenty of jokes to capture your audience's attention.《英语报刊阅读》试卷（A 卷参考答案）Part Ⅰ Reconstruct the messages of the following headlines of news stories: (1% for each, 10%) 1、The is the 2、and are3、are4、A is his aPart ⅡRead the following passage and answer the Questions A 5-34 (1% for each,30 %) and B 35-44 (2% for each,20%)A:5～9 BDCCD 10～14 CDBDA 15～19 BACDC20～24 DAABA 25～39 BACBD 30～34 ACDBCB:35～39 TFTFT 40～44 FTTFTPart ⅢRead the following passage and answer Questions 45～49 (4% for each,20%) 45.

Easy for readers to grasp the main idea and decide whether to read on--- time is money!9. What are the difference between tabloids and broadsheets? (at first four aspects)Tabloids：①Headlines are typed in bold print and may extend across the whole page.

Initial letters are usually large.④Punctuation is used sparingly. Commas are often omitted after initialadverbials and between strings of adjectives. Inverted commas are used to mark direct speech and to highlight key words.Broadsheets:①Headlines usually only extend over two columns, the print tends to besmaller. Front page headlines, however, are sometimes an exception.②Paragraphs are longer so the reader has to concentrate for longer periods oftime.③The typographical features are more standard. The same size of print isused throughout except for headlines, strap lines and sub-headlines.④Punctuation is used traditionally and more formally than in tabloids. Dashesare less frequent.10.

What is journalism? What does the study of journalism include?In a narrow sense, journalism is the collection and periodical publishing of news. It includes writing for, editing, and managing such media as the newspaper and the periodical. In other words, it means gathering, evaluating, and disseminating facts of current interest.In a broad sense, journalism is the gathering and transmission of news, business management of journals, and advertising in all its phases.

Moreover, the practice of yellow journalism involved sensationalism, distorted stories, and misleading images for the sole purpose of boosting newspaper sales and exciting public opinion. It was particularly indicative of two papers founded and popularized in USA in the late 19th century:The New York World -- J. Pulitzer and The New York Journal -- W. R. Hearst.20. What is hard news? What is soft news? How to distinguish between them?Hard news generally refers to up-to-the-minute news and events that are reported promptly.Soft news is background information or human-interest stories, which appeal to people’s curiosity, sympathy, skepticism, or amazement.H v S:1. Difference in the subject matterPolitics, war, economics and crime used to be considered hard news, while arts, entertainment and lifestyles were considered soft news.②The tone of presentationA hard news story takes a factual approach: What happened? Who was involved? Where and When did it happen? Why?A soft news story tries instead to entertain or advise the reader. You may have come across newspaper or TV stori es that promised “News you will use”.。

英语报刊选读试题 1I. Translate the following into Chinese. (5 points for each; 30 points in total)1. Ms. Stuart says her experience with online learing was wonderful but also served to challenge one of the false ideas about Internet study: the notion that it do esn’t require as much commitment and discipline as conventional classroom courses. If anything, Stuart believes she works harder than most traditional on-site students. She says she can provide firsthand evidence that the idea that distance learning is easy is a misconception.2. The cover story of this winter’s alumni bulletin, which was designed partly by the University of California’s government relations office in Washington, was also a shrewd ploy to cement relations with Jerry Lewis, who is a key member of the House Appropriations Committee.3. Individual professors and college administrators have also been increasing their political donations, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Gifts by university employees to presidential candidates totaled more than ＄2.4 million in the first three quarters of 2003, according to the center. The leading recipient was HowardDean, who collected ＄719, 000, and close behind was George W. Bush, who received ＄680, 000.4. In effect, the Bush doctrine establishes two classes of sovereignties: the sovereignty of the United States, which takes precedence over international treaties and obligations; and the sovereignty of all other countries, which is subject to the will of the United States. This is reminiscent of Geo rge Orwell’s Animal Farm: all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.5. Colleges and universities still shy away from organized political fundraising and campaign advertising –the stock in trade of modern lobbying. Nonprofit status or state laws prohibit many of them from engaging in it.6. Don Wise wandered into the living room of his home in Leewood one evening last Semptember. His ten-year-old son, Mike, and a 12-year- old friend were sitting in front of a large-screen television set. They were playing a vedio game they had rented called 007.II. Read the passage and choose the right answer to each question.（5 points for each; 20 points in total）Campaign strategists have agreed to focus on the Senate, where leaders hope to complete work on the budget package by May 1. “We felt that if the Senate defeated the proposal, it would not even come up in the House,” says John Rother, legislative director for the 18-million-member American Association of Retired persons.Targeted mainly are Republicans, who control the Senate, with particular emphasis on the 21 who face re-election next year. The next election looms l arge in the lobbyists’ strategy. “We shall not forget if Congress behaves in an unfriendly fashion to the senior citizens of the United States,” warns Jacob Clay man, president of the NCSC, which represents 4.5 million persons. “We shall remember—and 1986 is just around the corner.”Eric Shulman, legislative director for the NCSC, explains: “Those up for reelection will have their ears closest to the ground—and we are making as much of a rumble as we can. We see this issue being won or lost not in Washington but out in the countryside.” Adds Arthur Flemming, former U. S. commissioner on aging and now a lobbyist for the elderly:” “It’s the grass roots that convey the message most effectively.”1．In the sentence“…… where leaders hope to complete… ,”leaders refer to .A．House leaders B．floor leadersC．Congressional D．Senate leaders2．In the sentence “… it would not even come up in the House …,”the House ref ers to .A．the House of CommonsB．the House of RepresentativesC．the House of LordsD．the Senate3．Why does the author say, “Targarted mainly are Republicans who cantrol the Senate …?”It is .A．so said because the Democrats hold more seats in the SenateB．so said because the Republicans hold more seats in the SenateC．so said because the Republicans hold fewer seats in the SenateD．so said because the Republicans Party holds more congressional seats4．In the sentence “It’s the gras s roots that convey the message most effectively,”grass roots refer to .A．ordinary citizens or voters B．basic structuresC．politicians D．CongressmenIII．Read the following and answer questions.（10 points for each; 50 points in total）Blacks’ history in America (1660—1860)American Blacks are without doubt all of African origin. The first group of 20 Blacks sold to English settlers of Virginia in 1619 were brought in by a Dutch ship. From that time to the mid-19th century, some 14 million blacks were transported from West Africa to Virginia and other southern colonies of the New World. Almost all of themwere sold into slavery and subjected to white rule. Not only would they work for their masters as slaves for life but their descendants would also become slaves the moment they were born.Of course no person would have voluntarily chosen to be sold away from his native country. He was either sold by his own rulers or captured by white slave traders as portrayed in Alex Hale y’s noval Roots. Some of the details in Haley’s story were similar to those in other books. The kidnapping of slaves and their miserable life under the supervision of slave owners and overseers existed and the conditions on the voyage from Africa to Americ a were horrible. The slaves’ bodies were bound together and their limbs either tied or chained with shackles like Kunta, an important character in Roots. The air in the holds was filthy with the smell of sweat, vormit and body waste. When they caught infections diseases, many slaves died on the voyage. Some even died of flogging or starvation. It was said that only about half slaves could survive the voyage. Though some survived, the fate of those survivors was no better than being sold at auction like animals.After 1700, a large number of Africans arrived in America. In the first half of the century, they made up 20 percent of the colonial population. Many of them were in the southern colonies. They worked either on plantations or in houses. Then in 1793, the invention of the cotton gin by Eli Whitney resulted in a new demand for more slaves as it provided an inexpensive method of separating cotton seeds from fibres. With the increase in cotton acreage, slavery persisted in the South and became the foundation of its economy.Slavery was anyhow a moral evil. It was inhuman and was also an institution restricting the development of industry. Many people, mostly people in the North desired an immediate end to the evil institution so that they would be able to develop industry. Some assumed that the only way to solve the problem was to ship all Blacks back to Africa. With the aid of such leading figures as James Monroe (president), John Marshall (Supreme Court justice), Henry Clay and Daniel Webster (senators),t hey established the American Colonization Society in the 1820’s. This organization was finally successful in getting some land in West Africa for those willing to go back home, thus forming the new nation: the Republic of Liberia, the place of freedom. They named its capital Monrovia after the U. S. president at the time. However, the resettlement policy did little to solve the dilemma. No more than 15,000 Blacks returned to Africa between 1821 and 1860; most of the others preferred to stay in the places they had been born. Those rejecting the policy of being sent home claimed American citizenship on the ground that they were Americans by birth so that they were entitled to the rights set forth in the Declaration of independence.Questions:1．How did the first group of Blacks arrive in America?2．Describe the voyage to America for the slaves on the ship.3．Where did many of the slaves settle? why ?4．What solution did President Monroe propose to solve the problem of slavery? 5．What does the Republic of Liberia mean?附：参考答案I.

Though some survived, the fate of those survivors was no better than being sold at auction like animals.After 1700, a large number of Africans arrived in America. In the first half of the century, they made up 20 percent of the colonial population. Many of them were in the southern colonies. They worked either on plantations or in houses. Then in 1793, the invention of the cotton gin by Eli Whitney resulted in a new demand for more slaves as it provided an inexpensive method of separating cotton seeds from fibres. With the increase in cotton acreage, slavery persisted in the South and became the foundation of its economy.Slavery was anyhow a moral evil. It was inhuman and was also an institution restricting the development of industry. Many people, mostly people in the North desired an immediate end to the evil institution so that they would be able to develop industry. Some assumed that the only way to solve the problem was to ship all Blacks back to Africa. With the aid of such leading figures as James Monroe (president), John Marshall (Supreme Court justice), Henry Clay and Daniel Webster (senators), they established the American Colonization Society in the 1820’s. This organization was finally successful in getting some land in West Africa for those willing to go back home, thus forming the new nation: the Republic of Liberia, the place of freedom. They named its capital Monrovia after the U. S. president at the time. However, the resettlement policy did little to solve the dilemma. No more than 15,000 Blacks returned to Africa between 1821 an d1860; most of the others preferred to stay in the places they had been born. Those rejecting the policy of being sent home claimed American citizenship on the ground that they were Americans by birth so that they were entitled to the rights set forth in the Declaration of independence.II. Answer the following questions:1．How did the first group of Blacks arrive in America?2．Describe the voyage to America for the slaves on the ship.3．Where did many of the slaves settle? why ?4．What solution did President Monroe propose to solve the problem of slavery?5．What does the Republic of Liberia mean?英语报刊选读试题答案及评分标准一、1．英国贵族院2．社会保障计划3．美国国会山喻美国国会4．议长5．筹款[宴]会6．老年人7．西屋发掘少年科技英才赛8．亚大首脑仁义或峰会9．主权10．英国外交大臣11．基督徒12．经济衰退13．王室14．英联邦15．发言人二、I．1．D 2．B 3．B 4．AII．1．They arrived in America by a Dutch ship.2．Their bodies were hound together and their limbs either tied or chained.

英语报刊选读试题2I.Translate the following into Chinese. (5 points for each; 30 points in total)1.Ms. Stuart says her experience with online learning was wonderful but also served to challenge one of the false ideas about Internet study: the notion that it doesn't require as much commitment and discipline as conventional classroom courses. If anything, Stuart believes she works harder than most traditional on-site students. She says she can provide firsthand evidence that the idea that distance learning is easy is a misconception.2.The cover story of this winter's alumni bulletin, which was designed partly by the University of California's government relations office in Washington, was also a shrewd ploy to cement relations with Jerry Lewis, who is a key member of the House Appropriations Committee.3.Individual professors and college administrators have also been increasing their political donations, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Gifts by university employees to presidential candidates totaled more than $ 2.4 million in the first three quarters of 2003, according to the center. The leading recipient was Howard Dean, who collected $ 719, 000, and close behind was George W. Bush, who received $ 680, 000.4.In effect, the Bush doctrine establishes two classes of sovereignties: the sovereignty of the United States, which takes precedence over international treaties and obligations; and the sovereignty of all other countries, which is subject to the will of the United States. This is reminiscent of George Orwell's Animal Farm: all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.5.Colleges and universities still shy away from organized political fundraising and campaign advertising 一the stock in trade of modem lobbying. Nonprofit status or state laws prohibit many of them from engaging in it.6.Don Wise wandered into the living room of his home in Leewood one evening last September. His ten-year-old son, Mike, and a 12-year- old friend were sitting in front of a large-screen television set. They were playing a video game they had rented called 007.1. step up lobbyingII.Read the passage below and give the Chinese versions to the phrases that follow.

The overall employment situation at present was stable; however, the problem that labor force supply exceeded the demand and the structural employment contradiction was quite outstanding. Therefore, to promote employment and provide talented people for social and economic development, vocational training system covering the whole labor force must be built and the labor force's professional skills must be improved, based on the urban and rural areas coordinated, employment-oriented, skill-based and lifelong training principle, taking service as the aim and taking the employment as the guidance.We need to make efforts to organize various forms of vocational training, to improve the quality of vocational training and to strengthen the supply support and finance support.1.Premier Wen Jiabao chaired a meeting2.the standing committee of the State Council3.enhancing vocational training4.promoting employment5.main approach of improving labor force's professional skills6.their ability of obtaining employment and self-employment7.The overall employment situation at present was stablebor force supply exceeded the demand9.urban and rural areas coordinatedanize various forms of vocational trainingIII.Read the passage and choose the best phrase tocomplete the statements or answer the question. (2points for each; 28 points in total)Tuition Reform for Higher EducationChinese institutions of higher learning have quickened their pace of reform in recent years. Changing enrollment practices and higher tuition fees constitute and important part of the reform. Schools which once admitted students almost exclusively according to state plans are becoming more accepting of students sent by work groups for further training and those who pay their own fees.Regular universities and colleges plan to enroll about 786 200 students this year, up 158 200 or 25 percent over last year's figure. Of these, 216 000, or 27.4 percent, will be sent by their work groups or will pay their own way.In the past, the state paid all tuition and school fees for university students, a matter of policy since New China was established in 1949. Although this practice guaranteed the supply of qualified personnel, it brought a heavy burden to the sate, hindering further development of higher education. Since higher education is non一compulsory education in China, to charge appropriate fees will help improve school facilities and expedite the development of education in this stage. As an added benefit, paying their own way will encourage students to study harder.The reform will take effect in two directions. State—financed students will begin paying part of the costs of their education, and more self—paying students will be accepted.In August 1989, under the direction of the State council, the State Education Commission, the Ministry of Finance and the Sate Price Bureau drew up stipulations concerning the amount of charges on tuition, accommodation and other expenses for students of institutions of higher learning. Beginning from that year, freshmen at regular universities and colleges and professional schools (including cadres taking special training courses and students working on a second degree) were charged 100 yuan (about us $17) each for their tuition fee, and this low charge is expected to be raised gradually. The figure was higher in special economic zones and economically developed regions such as Guangdong Province and Shanghai, but was capped at 300 yuan. Students living on campus paid about 20 yuan per year for accommodation and the charge was slightly higher for better furnishing. Normal school students and those admitted on scholarships need only pay for accommodation. Reduced tuitions and fees are available to students in need of financial assistance, but accommodation expenseswill remain the same.In June 1992, the State Education Commission, the Ministry of Finance and the State Price Bureau decided to allow regular institutions of higher education to set their own tuition rates and charges for accommodation, short一term training programs, correspondence courses and night school. These should be determined according to the needs of each school, the abilities of students to pay and general conditions in each area. The tuition for students in the sciences and engineering can range from 300 to 500 yuan per academic year. Liberal arts, history and economics students of the fine arts pay 400 to 600 yuan per year, and students of the fine arts 400 to 750 yuan. Statistics for 1992 show students paid an average of 340 yuan in tuition that year, only 5 percent of the real cost.Measures have been taken to limit the possible detrimental affects of rising tuition. Shanghai, for instance, exempts the children of revolutionary martyrs from paying tuition. And these costs may be reduced or waived for students with limited family financial support as their parents are either both dead or are receiving subsidies from their work units. Some colleges have also set up work—study programs to benefit students with financial difficultiesGuidelines concerning self—paying students were first set out in 1989. The State Education Commission, the Ministry of Finance and the State Price Bureau stipulated that these students should pay 80 percent of the cost of their education. Such students who live on campus pay the standard rate for accommodation and must cover their own medical expenses. The charge for each self—paying student averaged 2 000 yuan of the cost in 1992, or 30 percent of the cost Charges for undergraduates and students of special colleges whose education is sponsored by work units, with payment coming either in part or in full from their units, are somewhat higher. Self~paying students are not assigned jobs by the state after graduation, whereas students sent by their units will return to them after graduating.Charges for correspondence courses and night school are equal to or slightly higher than those for full-time students enrolled according to the state plan.With their improvement of their living standards and the deepening of reform,people in general accept the changes in the tuition system. To facilitate the development of higher education, the increases in tuition rates will be more flexible and diversified. Student payments will be augmented by finding from the state, enterprises and funds raised from the public. Laws and regulations will by enacted to ensure steady progress, and overseas organizations and individuals are encouraged to set up and operate schools in China. —21st Century, Apr.20, 19921.Regular universities and colleges plan to enroll about 786 200 students this yearA.which is the same as last years figureB.which is more than last year's figure by 158 200C.which is 25 per cent over last year's figureD.both B and C2.Among 786 200 students will be sent by their work groups or will pay their own way.fixed at 300 yuan limited in 300 yuanA.158 200B. 21 600C. 27.4 per centD. 25 per cent3.Since New China was established, all tuition and school fees for university studentsA.Were paid by their work groupsB.Were paid by the students themselvesC.Were paid by the stateD.Were paid by the local government4.The policy which the state paid all tuition and school fees for university studentsA.Brought lots of profits to the stateB.Was helpful to further development of higher educationC.Brought many advantages to the stateD.Brought expense and trouble to the state5.Which statement is not true?A.To charge appropriate fees will help improve school facilities.B.As an added benefit, paying their own way will encourage students to studyharder.C.Higher education is compulsory education in China.D.Tuition reform for higher education will take effect in two directions.6.Stipulations concerning the amount of charges on tuition, accommodation and other expenses for students of institutions of higher learning was drafted by.A.the State Education CommissionB.the State CouncilC.the universities and collegesD.the State Education Commission, the Ministry of Finance and the StatePrice Bureau7.The figure on tuition fee was higher in special economic zones and economically developed regions, but was.C.over 300 yuanD. much more than 300 yuan8.Students in need of financial assistance.A.can get a grantB.need only pay for accommodationC.can get support from the local governmentD.can enjoy reduced tuitions and fees9.According to the stipulations made by the State Education Commission, the Ministry of Finance and the State Price Bureau, the tuition for students in the sciences and engineering can.A.be changed between 300 and 500 yuan per academic yearB.be fixed at 300 or 500 yuan per yearC.be set at 400 or 600 yuan per yearD.be extended from 400 to 750 yuan per year10.The children of revolutionary martyrs in Shanghai __.A.enjoy reduced tuitionB.enjoy free charge tuitionC.gain allowance from governmentD.receive subsidies from their parents' work units11.Stipulations concerning self—paying students took effect in.A.1989B.1992C. 1990D. 199112.Charges for undergraduates and students of special colleges whose education is sponsored by work units.A.are set at 2 000 yuan per yearB.are exempted 50 per cent from the whole cost of their educationC.are rather higherD.are exempted 30 percent13.Self-paying students, after their graduation,.A.will return to their unitsB.will be appointed to do some work by the stateC.are provided employments by the statD.are not assigned jobs by the state14.Which statement is true?A.The increases in tuition rates can not be changed easily.B.Students payment will be decreased by funding from the state andenterprises.ws and regulations will be made to ensure steady progress.D.People in general can't accept the change in the tuition reform.IV Choose the best answer to explain the meaning of the underlined word or phrase.(2 points for each; 12 points in total)1.Chinese institutions of higher learning have quickened their pace of reform in recent yearA. walkingB. stepC.footD.speed2.Changing enrollment practices and higher tuition fees constitute an important part of the reform.A.

(5小题，每题2分，共10分) Crime is a very serious problem in Britain. One sort of crime which particularly worries people is juvenile delinquency –that is, crimes committed by young people. For some years juvenile delinquency had been increasing. There are two main sorts of juvenile crimes: stealing and violence. Most people do not understand why young people commit these crimes. There are, I think, a large number of different reasons.These crimes are not usually committed by people who are poor or in need. Y oung people often dislike and hate the adult world. They will do things to show that they are rebels. Also in Britain today it is easier for young people to commit crimes because they have more freedom to go where they like and more money to do what they like.There are two other possible causes which are worth mentioning. More and more people inBritain live in large towns. In a large town no one knows who anyone else is or where they live. But in the village I come from crimes are rare because everyone knows everyone else.Although it is difficult to explain, I think the last cause is very important. Perhaps there is something with our society which encourages violence and crime. It is a fact that all the time children are exposed to films and reports about crime and violence. Many people do not agree that this influences the young people, but I think that young people are very much influenced by the society they grow in. I feel that the fault may be as much with our whole society as with these young people.21. From the passage we know that many British people are confused about ________.A. the causes of juvenile crimesB. the rise of the crime rateC. the problem of crimes in their countryD. the various kinds of juvenile delinquency22. One reason why young people in large cities are more likely to commit crimes is that________.A. they need more moneyB. they are free to moveC. they live a better lifeD. nobody knows anything about others23. According to the passage, which groups of the following young people are LEAST likely tocommit crimes?A. Those living in big cities.B. Those living in the countryside.C. Those who are very poor.D. Those who are in need of help.24. Unlike many others, the author holds that one important cause for juvenile delinquency isthat ________.A. young people nowadays do not like adult worldB. young people in Britain today are freer than beforeC. young people are influenced by crime and violence in films and newspapersD. too many young people have come to live in big cities25. According to the passage, which is to blame for juvenile crimes, apart from the young peoplethemselves?A. The adult world.B. Their parents.C. The society.D. The development of the cities.Part III. Answer the questions according to the report: (5小题，每题5分，共25分)China’s Premier Wen Jiabao Concludes Pakistan Visit Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao concluded a three-day visit to Pakistan Sunday aimed at expanding economic and defense ties, while at the same time assuaging concerns over Beijing’s recent friendliness with New Delhi.During Wen’s visit, China signed commercial agreements with Pakistan’s government and private companies worth $30 billion, covering the railway, solar, wind and energy sectors, among others.Unlike Western leaders, who have castigated Pakistan for failing to crack down adequately on Islamist militants operating from its soil, Premier Wen praised Islamabad for its fight against terrorism. ‘Pakistan has been in the forefront of the fight against global terrorism and theinternational community s hould recognize its sacrifices,’Wen said in an address to the joint session of Pakistan’s parliament Sunday.China has long been a close ally of Pakistan as it sees as a way of projecting its power into the South Asian region and balancing the U.S.’s increasingly close ties with New Delhi.China also has been moving closer to India, Pakistan’s rival. Before arriving in Pakistan, Premier Wen spent three days in India, during which Indian and Chinese companies signed commercial deals worth $16 billion.
