第1题：
When people in developing countries worry about migration, they are usually concerned at the prospect of their best and brightest departure to Silicon Valsey or to hospitals and universities in the developed world. These are the kind of workers that countries like Britain Canada and Australia try to attract by using immigration rules that privilege college graduates.
Lots of studies have found that well-education people form. developing counting are particularly likely to emigrants , A big survey of Indian households in 2004found that nearly 40% of emigrants had morn than a high-school education ,compared with around 3.3%of all Indian over the age of 25. This "brain drain" has long bothered policymakers in poor counties .They fear that it hurts their economies, depriving them of much-needed skilled worker who could have taught at their universities, worked in their hospital and come up with clever new product for their factories to make
正确答案：
发展中国家的人们担心“移民”，通常是在关注他们前往硅谷或者发达国家的医院和大学后，自己最为美好的，光明的前景会是如何。这些移民是英国、加拿大和澳大利亚这样的国家，试图通过制定一些给予大学毕业生特权的移民政策，想要吸引的一类人群。
大量研究表明，发达国家中受过良好教育的人非常可能移民。2004年对于印度家庭的一项大型研究表明，接近40%的移民都接受过高中以上的教育，而年龄在25岁以上的印度人当中受过高中以上教育的人只有3.3%。这种“人才流失”长期以来困扰着贫穷国家的政策制定者，这些政策制定者担心移民会破坏他们国家的经济，流失许多急缺的技术人才，这些人才也许本应在他们的大学教书，在他们的医院工作，创造出新产品让本国的工厂来制造。 -

Julia, Gillard, as education minister and then prime minister~ identified the Gonski Report on school funding, later renamed the Better School Plan, as one of her crowning achievements. Backed by the Australian Education Union and Australia's cultural-left education blob (a term coined by Britain's Secretary of State for Education, Michael Gove), her argument is that Gonski will deliver excellence and equity in education by massively increasing government expenditure. The Gonski funding model, involving a base level of funding known as a School Resourcing Standard and additional loadings related to disadvantage, is also lauded as bring clarity, transparency and consistency to school funding. Not so. As noted by the National Comission of Audit, the flaws and weaknesses in the report are manifest.
Under the heading "Complexity of the funding model," section 9.7 Appendix Volmne 1, the statement is made that" new school funding arrangements are complex, inconsistent and lack transparency". Instead of having a national funding model, we have a situation where the states and territories and Catholic and independent school sectors have their own approaches to allocating finding to schools.
So much for the argument that the Gonski model represents an improvement on the Howard government's supposedly opaque and insistently applied socio-economic status (SES) mode. The Schooling Resource Standard is also criticized for not being "based on a detailed analysisof the cost of delivering education" and the formula employed for quantifying disadvantage for using faulty data leading to students "being misidentified as being inside or outside definitions of educationally disadvantaged".
Citing international research and an analysis carried out by the ALP federal .member forFraser, Andrew Leigh, when an academic at the Australian National University, the audit report oncludes there is little, if any, relationship between increased expenditure and raising standards.

“The Heart of the Matter,”the just-released report by the American Academy of Arts and Sciences（AAAS）,deserves praise for affirming the importance of the humanities and social sciences to the prosperity and security of liberal democracy in America.Regrettably,however,the report’s failure to address the true nature of the crisis facing liberal education may cause more harm than good.In 2010,leading congressional Democrats and Republicans sent letters to the AAAS asking that it identify actions that could be taken by“federal,state and local governments,universities,foundations,educators,individual benefactors and others”to“maintain national excellence in humanities and social scientific scholarship and education.”In response,the American Academy formed the Commission on the Humanities and Social Sciences.Among the commission’s 51 members are top-tier-university presidents,scholars,lawyers,judges,and business executives,as well as prominent figures from diplomacy,filmmaking,music and journalism.The goals identified in the report are generally admirable.Because representative government presupposes an informed citizenry,the report supports full literacy;stresses the study of history and government,particularly American history and American government;and encourages the use of new digital technologies.To encourage innovation and competition,the report calls for increased investment in research,the crafting of coherent curricula that improve students’ability to solve problems and communicate effectively in the 21st century,increased funding for teachers and the encouragement of scholars to bring their learning to bear on the great challenges of the day.The report also advocates greater study of foreign languages,international affairs and the expansion of study abroad programs.Unfortunately,despite 2?years in the making,"The Heart of the Matter"never gets to the heart of the matter:the illiberal nature of liberal education at our leading colleges and universities.The commission ignores that for several decades America's colleges and universities have produced graduates who don’t know the content and character of liberal education and are thus deprived of its benefits.Sadly,the spirit of inquiry once at home on campus has been replaced by the use of the humanities and social sciences as vehicles for publicizing“progressive,”or left-liberal propaganda.Today,professors routinely treat the progressive interpretation of history and progressive public policy as the proper subject of study while portraying conservative or classical liberal ideas—such as free markets and self-reliance—as falling outside the boundaries of routine,and sometimes legitimate,intellectual investigation.The AAAS displays great enthusiasm for liberal education.Yet its report may well set back reform by obscuring the depth and breadth of the challenge that Congress asked it to illuminate.

B.Illiberal Education and“The Heart of the Matter”
C.The AAAS’s Contribution to Liberal Education
D.Progressive Policy vs.Liberal Education答案：A解析：主旨大意本题考查对文章主旨的概括能力。首先，通过浏览每个段的段首句，可以总结出该文章探讨的主要对象是由AAAS发布的报告，同时每个段落的进一步探讨主要集中于该报告展现出来教育的非自由性主题，其中该报告的代称为问题的核心。A项非自由性教育与问题核心正好和文章主旨相匹配。B项意思是“AAAS报告对自由性教育的贡献”；C项意思是“抓住问题核心的方法”，其中方法文中并未提及。与文章主旨相违背。D项意思是“进步性政策对自由性教育”，其中的“政策”并非文章的重点，故排除。 -

“The Heart of the Matter,”the just-released report by the American Academy of Arts and Sciences（AAAS）,deserves praise for affirming the importance of the humanities and social sciences to the prosperity and security of liberal democracy in America.Regrettably,however,the report’s failure to address the true nature of the crisis facing liberal education may cause more harm than good.
In 2010,leading congressional Democrats and Republicans sent letters to the AAAS asking that it identify actions that could be taken by“federal,state and local governments,universities,foundations,educators,individual benefactors and others”to“maintain national excellence in humanities and social scientific scholarship and education.”In response,the American Academy formed the Commission on the Humanities and Social Sciences.Among the commission’s 51 members are top-tier-university presidents,scholars,lawyers,judges,and business executives,as well as prominent figures from diplomacy,filmmaking,music and journalism.

Unfortunately,despite 2?years in the making,"The Heart of the Matter"never gets to the heart of the matter:the illiberal nature of liberal education at our leading colleges and universities.The commission ignores that for several decades America's colleges and universities have produced graduates who don’t know the content and character of liberal education and are thus deprived of its benefits.Sadly,the spirit of inquiry once at home on campus has been replaced by the use of the humanities and social sciences as vehicles for publicizing“progressive,”or left-liberal propaganda.
Today,professors routinely treat the progressive interpretation of history and progressive public policy as the proper subject of study while portraying conservative or classical liberal ideas—such as free markets and self-reliance—as falling outside the boundaries of routine,and sometimes legitimate,intellectual investigation.
The AAAS displays great enthusiasm for liberal education.Yet its report may well set back reform by obscuring the depth and breadth of the challenge that Congress asked it to illuminate.
The author implies in Paragraph 5 that professors areA.supportive of free markets
B.cautious about intellectual investigation
C.conservative about public policy
D.biased against classical liberal ideas答案：B解析：推理判断本题考查对作者情感态度的推理判断能力。根据题干可定位到文中第五段。教授们的态度主要通过两个层面体现出来的。这两个层面体现在第五段一个由while引导的长句中，理解好这个长句是解题的关键点。while之前是一个层面，while之后是一个层面。该题主要考察while之后第二个层面的理解。在while之后讲到讲授们将保守或经典的自由理念（比如自由市场和自力更生）排除在常规之外，甚至排除在合理的学术研究之外。由作者的语气可判断出作者对教授们对待classical liberal ideas的这种做法持负向态度，比对四个选项，只有B项中的“bias”体现出了作者对教授们做法的负向态度，故为正确答案。选项A与原文态度相反，故排除；而选项C中的“cautious about”是对原文“conservative”一词理解不到位设置的干扰选项。选项D是将while前后出现的两个信息嫁接到一起，设置的不符合文意的干扰项。 -
第6题：
Text 1 In an essay entitled“Making It in America”,the author Adam Davidson relates a joke from cotton country about just how much a modern textile mill has been automated:The average mill has only two employees today,“a man and a dog.The man is there to feed the dog,and the dog is there to keep the man away from the machines.”Davidson's article is one of a number of pieces that have recently appeared making the point that the reason we have such stubbornly high unemployment and declining middleclass incomes today is also because of the advances in both globalization and the information technology revolution,which are more rapidly than ever replacing labor with machines or foreign worker.In the past,workers with average skills,doing an average job，could earn an average lifestyle.But，today，average is officially over.Being average just won't earn you what it used to.It can't when so many more employers have so much more access to so much more above average cheap foreign labor,cheap robotics,cheap software,cheap automation and cheap genius.Therefore,everyone needs to find their extra—their unique value contribution that makes them stand out in whatever is their field of employment.Yes,new technology has been eating jobs forever,and always will.But there's been acceleration.As Davidson notes,“In the 10 years ending in 2009,U.S.factories shed workers so fast that they erased almost all the gains of the previous 70 years;roughly one out of every three manufacturing jobs—about 6 million in total—disappeared.”There will always be change—new jobs,new products,new services.But the one thing we know for sure is that with each advance in globalization and the I.T.revolution,the best jobs will require workers to have more and better education to make themselves above average.In a world where average is officially over,there are many things we need to do to support employment,but nothing would be more important than passing some kind of G.I.Bill for the 21st century that ensures that every American has access to posthigh school education.
According to the author,to reduce unemployment,the most important is______A.to accelerate the I.T.revolution
B.to ensure more education for people
C.to advance economic globalization
D.to pass more bills in the 21st century答案：B解析：细节题【命题思路】根据题干关键词“reduce unemployment”回文定位到文章最后一段，根据具体信息同义替换，则得出正确答案。【直击答案】文章中最后一段出现了与题干“reduce unemployment”近义的表达“support employment”，而题干“the most important”与文章“nothing would be more important than”相对应，指出促进就业最重要的是颁布类似于“G.I.Bill”（G.I.Bill：二战后签署的“军人安置法案”，给退伍美军提供免费大学或技校教育等福利措施。）的法案来保障人们接受高等教育的权利，B项与之吻合，故正确。【干扰排除】A项“加速信息技术产业变革”，C项“推动经济全球化”，均未提及，属于无中生有，故排除。D项虽提及要颁布更多法案，但文中讲的法案是指与“教育”相关的，而非泛指一般的法案，D项表述不准确，故排除。 -

The quotation in Paragraph 4 explains that_____A.gains of technology have been erased
B.job opportunities are disappearing at a high speed
C.factories are making much less money than before
D.new jobs and services have been offered答案：B解析：推理题【命题思路】虽然从形式上来说，本题考查的是对一个句子意思的理解，但实际上这是作者引用Davidson的话来说明他在上文提出的论点，因此这道题的解题关键在于把握引用句子前面的部分。【直击答案】根据题干定位到第四段，首句指出作者提出的观点：新技术不断吞噬工作，而且现在的速度在加快。后面引用的话语是对这个论点的具体说明，选项B中的“job opportunities”与原文的“job”相对应，“are disappearing at a high speed”与原文“has been eating jobs”以及“there's been acceleration”相对应，故为正确答案。【干扰排除】A项和C都是对引号中的局部信息设置的干扰项，均属于张冠李戴。D项是无中生有信息。 -

单选题It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the cultural activities in universities will grow if the government and individuals______.Aincrease the finance of higher education
Bcurtail some cultural activities
Copen more theaters
Dwork out some rules for donation
正确答案： A解析：
推断题。文章最后一段提到“the resulting cutbacks in state aid and private donations placed a strain on the financing of higher education that curtailed the growth or sometimes even threatened the survival of many cultural program”，即“政府和个人资助的减少使得抑制甚至威胁到了大学文化艺术活动的生存”。由此推断，如果增加对最高教育的资助，那么大学的文化艺术活动就会繁荣起来，所以选A项。 -

Cundergraduates will have no choice but to continue to suffer from mental-health problems in silence.
Dundergraduates are supposed to find ways to let mental suffering out with psychological counselors’ help.

推理判断题。本题要注意对全篇的把握。：本文首先介绍了有心理健康问题的学生因怕被人视为另类而很少进行心理咨询；然后指明专家们努力让学生认识到心理咨询是有效、明智的选择；最后提出了许多有效的解决办法，证明心理问题是可以通过咨询寻求帮助得以解决的。因此，再结合最后一句College will always be tough, but there’s no need to suffer in silence.可以推知，在将来学生会向心理咨询寻求帮助，故D正确。 -
第11题：
问答题Passage 5 This summer sees a significant change to the process of applying to university. It is called “the adjustment period”. Despite the rather anodyne name, this is intended as a big step towards a system in which students apply to universities after they have received the results of their A-levels or equivalent qualifications. This aim, eventually, is to replace the current system of applications based on predicted grades. Three years ago the government said it wanted to introduce “a full post-qualifications application system by 2012”. This is seen as fairer since official figures show that 55% of predicted grades are inaccurate. Moreover, according to the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS), predicted grades are more likely to be inaccurate for students from the lowest socio-economic groups. There is also evidence that many bright students from poorer homes are put off applying to top universities like Oxford and Cambridge because they think their grades will not be good enough. By the time they receive their better-than-expected results it is too late. So, that is why this year there is a significant change. The “adjustment period” will apply to university applicants who, in August, find they have done better than expected in their exams. If their grades are better than required for the university offers they are holding, they will now get a further opportunity to apply elsewhere to see if they can, in effect, “upgrade”. They will have five days after the results come out to achieve this upgrade. This change means, in theory, an intense period of “speed dating” between top universities and those students who have exceeded exam expectations. So far, so good. But here is the rub. Expectations have been raised. A student who, for example, gets three A grades may decide that they could have been more ambitious than the offer they already hold and, buoyed by their success, may then seek a place at a more prestigious university. They will get on the phone to a top university, explain their improved grades, and will, quite reasonably, expect to be considered for a place. But the reality is that there will rarely be any places left. And this is the flaw in the system. Popular universities are heavily oversubscribed. They do not keep back spare places for last-minute applicants. Nor have they been required to do so for this new “adjustment period”. As one senior person at UCAS acknowledged recently, the chance of places remaining available on the most popular courses is “quite remote”. Senior vice-chancellors agree with that assessment. Indeed, this time round there is even less prospect than in previous years of there being any places spare on popular courses. That is because universities have been busy making offers since the end of last year, but at the start of this year, the government suddenly announced that the planned expansion of places is to be cut back. There will now be 5, 000 fewer university places than were envisaged just a few months ago. Since universities face financial penalties if they over-recruit, some will now be wishing to reduce the number of offers they had been planning to make. They will not be able to retract offers already made, but they will certainly not be offering additional places for the “adjustment period” in August. The result is that students are being hoodwinked. The “adjustment period” looks like a small oasis for those who have done better than expected in their exams. They will expect a reward for their achievement. But they will find it is a mirage. So why has this been allowed to happen? The truth is that, despite the government’s enthusiasm for a post-qualifications application system, the universities are reluctant to change the status quo. It would mean changes to the school examinations timetable or to university term dates, or a combination of the two. The adjustments need not be that great, particularly as technology has speeded up the pace of exam marking. But, for now, there has not been enough political will to force through the change and caution has won the day. If, as seems likely, this year’s “adjustment period” results in hardly any applicants managing to upgrade their offers, then the whole issue must be looked at again. Either the government should set out a clear timetable towards full post qualification applications or it should admit it does not have the stomach for the change. This halfway house looks like a cruel hoax on students. 1. Who will benefit from the adjustment period and how? 2. Describe the reason why top universities now have fewer places left than previous years on popular courses. 3. What can be done to generate a better result from the adjustment period this year? What will be its future?正确答案： 【参考答案】
1. University applicants who, in August, find they have done better than expected in their exams. / they will now get a further opportunity to apply elsewhere to see if they can, in effect, “upgrade”.
2. Universities have been busy making offers since the end of last year, but at the start of this year, the government suddenly announced that the planned expansion of places is to be cut back.
3. To change the school examinations timetable or university term dates or a combination of the two. /Either the government should set out a clear timetable towards full post qualification applications or it should admit it does not have the stomach for the change.解析： 暂无解析 -

Julia, Gillard, as education minister and then prime minister~ identified the Gonski Report on school funding, later renamed the Better School Plan, as one of her crowning achievements. Backed by the Australian Education Union and Australia's cultural-left education blob (a term coined by Britain's Secretary of State for Education, Michael Gove), her argument is that Gonski will deliver excellence and equity in education by massively increasing government expenditure. The Gonski funding model, involving a base level of funding known as a School Resourcing Standard and additional loadings related to disadvantage, is also lauded as bring clarity, transparency and consistency to school funding. Not so. As noted by the National Comission of Audit, the flaws and weaknesses in the report are manifest.
Under the heading "Complexity of the funding model," section 9.7 Appendix Volmne 1, the statement is made that" new school funding arrangements are complex, inconsistent and lack transparency". Instead of having a national funding model, we have a situation where the states and territories and Catholic and independent school sectors have their own approaches to allocating finding to schools.
So much for the argument that the Gonski model represents an improvement on the Howard government's supposedly opaque and insistently applied socio-economic status (SES) mode. The Schooling Resource Standard is also criticized for not being "based on a detailed analysisof the cost of delivering education" and the formula employed for quantifying disadvantage for using faulty data leading to students "being misidentified as being inside or outside definitions of educationally disadvantaged".
Citing international research and an analysis carried out by the ALP federal .member forFraser, Andrew Leigh, when an academic at the Australian National University, the audit report oncludes there is little, if any, relationship between increased expenditure and raising standards.
Mirroring the argument put by Jennifer Buckingham in her School Funding on a Budget, the audit report argues "increasing funding does not necessarily equate to better student outcomes". common sense suggests, and contrary to the Australian Education Union's "I Give a campain, a more way to raise standards is to have a rigorous curriculum, effective and oommittcd teachers, strong parental engagement and schools, within broad guidelines, that hane the flexibility to manage themselves.
To applaud the commission of audit's analysis of school funding should not be taken asunqualified support. The suggestion that the states, and most likely their education departments, should control how funding to independent school is allocated is a mistake. Slate schools, on the whole, compete against non-government schools, and allowing state governments or their education bureaucracies to decide how funding is allocated to independent schools represents a conflict of interest.

The Gonski funding model, involving a base level of funding known as a School Resourcing Standard and additional loadings related to disadvantage, is also lauded as bring clarity, transparency and consistency to school funding. Not so. As noted by the National Comission of Audit, the flaws and weaknesses in the report are manifest.
Under the heading "Complexity of the funding model," section 9.7 Appendix Volmne 1, the statement is made that" new school funding arrangements are complex, inconsistent and lack transparency". Instead of having a national funding model, we have a situation where the states and territories and Catholic and independent school sectors have their own approaches to allocating finding to schools.
So much for the argument that the Gonski model represents an improvement on the Howard government's supposedly opaque and insistently applied socio-economic status (SES) mode. The Schooling Resource Standard is also criticized for not being "based on a detailed analysisof the cost of delivering education" and the formula employed for quantifying disadvantage for using faulty data leading to students "being misidentified as being inside or outside definitions of educationally disadvantaged".
Citing international research and an analysis carried out by the ALP federal .member forFraser, Andrew Leigh, when an academic at the Australian National University, the audit report oncludes there is little, if any, relationship between increased expenditure and raising standards.
Mirroring the argument put by Jennifer Buckingham in her School Funding on a Budget, the audit report argues "increasing funding does not necessarily equate to better student outcomes". common sense suggests, and contrary to the Australian Education Union's "I Give a campain, a more way to raise standards is to have a rigorous curriculum, effective and oommittcd teachers, strong parental engagement and schools, within broad guidelines, that hane the flexibility to manage themselves.
To applaud the commission of audit's analysis of school funding should not be taken asunqualified support. The suggestion that the states, and most likely their education departments, should control how funding to independent school is allocated is a mistake. Slate schools, on the whole, compete against non-government schools, and allowing state governments or their education bureaucracies to decide how funding is allocated to independent schools represents a conflict of interest.

Passage 2
Teacher education provided by U．S． colleges and universities has been routinely criticized sinceits inception in the early nineteenth century, sometimes deservedly． These programs, likenon-university programs, are uneven in quality and can be improved． What makes today′ s criticismsdifferent is an aggressive effort by advocacy groups, and self-proclaimed educational entrepreneursto deregulate the preparation of teachers, and to expand independent, alternative routes intoteaching．
This effort to "disrupt" the field of teacher preparation in the United States has gainedconsiderable momentum and legitimacy, with venture capitalists, philanthropy, and the U．S．
Department of Education all providing sponsorship and substantial funding．
The strength of this effort is that the United States may quickly seek to dismantle its universitysystem and replace much of it with independent, private programs． The resulting system of teacherpreparation may differ dramatically in its government, structure, content, and processes movingaway from its current location alongside legal, medical, and other professional preparation that pairsacademic degrees with professional training．
Throughout the nation, states are reporting teacher shortages in particular subject areas andgeographical locations, and several states have either passed legislation to lower the standards forbecoming a teacher or, like the state of Washington, have looked toward expanding the number ofteacher education providers to try to fill teaching vacancies． The federal government has contributedto the push to lower standards for becoming a teacher with the Teacher Preparation Academy
provision in the new K-12 education law, the Every Student Succeeds Act, which encourages statesto expand the number of independent programs not associated with colleges and universities．
Because of the increasing tuition rates, a consequence in part, of cuts in funding to publicuniversities that continue to educate most U．S． teachers, enrollments in college and universityteacher education programs have declined in many parts of the country． Independent teachereducation programs are being viewed by some as an important part of the solution in staffing thenation′s classrooms and addressing our serious and enduring problems in education inequities．
Additionally, advocacy groups, philanthropists, and so-called education entrepreneurs are workingaggressively to expand these independent alternative routes into teaching．
Given the seriousness of the teacher shortage problem in the United States and the substantialmedia attention that has been given to independent teacher education programs as the solution toteacher shortages and education inequities, policy makers should very carefully examine theevidence that exists about the nature and impact of these relatively new programs that are rapidlyexpanding while university teacher education enrollments decline．
What measures have been taken by some states to deal with their teacher shortages
A.To increase the number of qualified teachers．
B.To increase funds for teacher education programs．
C.To expand non-university teacher education programs．
D.To establish the baseline of teacher education programs．答案：C解析：细节题。根据第四段中的“several stateshave eitherpassedlegislationtolowerthe standardsforbecoming ateacher”可知，几个州为了应付教师短缺局面通过了降低教师标准的立法，A项“增加合格教师的数量”与原文不符。根据第五段中的“Because ofthe increasing tuition rates，a consequence in part，ofcuts infunding to public universities that continHe to educate most U．S．teachers，enrollments in college and universityteacher education programs have declined in many parts of the country”可知．由于学费的增加，对高等师范教育的资金投入缩减了，B项“提高对师范教育项目的资金投入”与原文不符。根据第四段末尾“…encourages smtes toexpand the number of independent programs not associated with colleges and universities．”及第五段中的“Independent teacher education programs are being viewed by some as an important part of the solution in staffing thenation’s classrooms”可知．一些州发展私立师范教育项目，C项“发展非高等师范教育项目”正确。D项“为师范教育项目设立底线”．文中未提及。故选C。 -
第16题：
“The Heart of the Matter,”the just-released report by the American Academy of Arts and Sciences（AAAS）,deserves praise for affirming the importance of the humanities and social sciences to the prosperity and security of liberal democracy in America.Regrettably,however,the report’s failure to address the true nature of the crisis facing liberal education may cause more harm than good.
In 2010,leading congressional Democrats and Republicans sent letters to the AAAS asking that it identify actions that could be taken by“federal,state and local governments,universities,foundations,educators,individual benefactors and others”to“maintain national excellence in humanities and social scientific scholarship and education.”In response,the American Academy formed the Commission on the Humanities and Social Sciences.Among the commission’s 51 members are top-tier-university presidents,scholars,lawyers,judges,and business executives,as well as prominent figures from diplomacy,filmmaking,music and journalism.
The goals identified in the report are generally admirable.Because representative government presupposes an informed citizenry,the report supports full literacy;stresses the study of history and government,particularly American history and American government;and encourages the use of new digital technologies.To encourage innovation and competition,the report calls for increased investment in research,the crafting of coherent curricula that improve students’ability to solve problems and communicate effectively in the 21st century,increased funding for teachers and the encouragement of scholars to bring their learning to bear on the great challenges of the day.The report also advocates greater study of foreign languages,international affairs and the expansion of study abroad programs.
Unfortunately,despite 2?years in the making,"The Heart of the Matter"never gets to the heart of the matter:the illiberal nature of liberal education at our leading colleges and universities.The commission ignores that for several decades America's colleges and universities have produced graduates who don’t know the content and character of liberal education and are thus deprived of its benefits.Sadly,the spirit of inquiry once at home on campus has been replaced by the use of the humanities and social sciences as vehicles for publicizing“progressive,”or left-liberal propaganda.
Today,professors routinely treat the progressive interpretation of history and progressive public policy as the proper subject of study while portraying conservative or classical liberal ideas—such as free markets and self-reliance—as falling outside the boundaries of routine,and sometimes legitimate,intellectual investigation.
The AAAS displays great enthusiasm for liberal education.Yet its report may well set back reform by obscuring the depth and breadth of the challenge that Congress asked it to illuminate.
According to Paragraph 3,the report suggestsA.an exclusive study of American history
B.a greater emphasis on theoretical subjects
C.the application of emerging technologies
D.funding for the study of foreign languages答案：C解析：事实细节本题侧重考查对文中细节信息的准确理解。根据题干要求，解答本题需定位到第三段，解答本题的直接方法是将每个选项代入第三段与原文语句进行嵌套比对。选项A“专门研究美国历史”，对应原文“stresses the study of history and government,particularly American history and American government”也就是说，该报告强调政府应学习历史，尤其是美国历史和美国政府，而并不是只研究美国历史，选项中出现的“exclusive”致使A项表达过于绝对，故排除；选项B中的“theoretical subjects（理论学科）”是文中未提及的信息，属于无中生有，故排除；选项C“新兴技术的应用”，对应原文是“encourages the use of new digital technologies（鼓励使用新数字技术）”，选项C正是原文内容的同义替换，所以为正确答案；而选项D“为外语研究设立基金”，以“funding”和“foreign languages”为关键词定位原文是“increased funding for teachers and the encouragement of scholars to bring their learning to bear on the great challenges of the day.The report also advocates greater study of foreign languages”，原文是说该报告“要求加大教师科研基金的投入，以鼓励学者不断研发以面对当今时代的巨大挑战。该报告也大力倡导外语…”，选项D明显是对这两层意思的断章取义，这属于典型的移花接木，故排除。 -

Influential figures in the Congress required that the AAAS report on how toA.retain people’s interest in liberal education
B.define the government’s role in education
C.keep a leading position in liberal education
D.safeguard individuals’rights to education答案：D解析：事实细节根据题干关键词，可定位到第二段第一句。题干中的“Influential figures in the Congress”对应原文的“leading congressional Democrats and Republicans”，题干中的“required”对应原文的“asking”，依据题干问题答案出自于“…maintain national excellence in humanities and social scientific scholarship and education.”比对四个选项，D项中的“leading”对应原文的“excellence”，“liberal”对应原文的“humanities”，由此可见D项是对原文意思的同义置换为正确答案。选项A“保护个人的教育权利”，文中并未提及有关教育权利的信息，故排除；选项B“定义政府在教育中的角色”，很明显原文中是“联邦政府、州政府、地方政府、大学、基金会、教育工作者、个人资助者以及其他人”，所以政府只是其中一类人，这属于典型的缩小范围；选项C“保持人们对自由教育的兴趣”，而原文对应提到的是“维护国家教育优势”，这里属于偷换概念，故排除。 -
第18题：
Text 1 In an essay entitled“Making It in America”,the author Adam Davidson relates a joke from cotton country about just how much a modern textile mill has been automated:The average mill has only two employees today,“a man and a dog.The man is there to feed the dog,and the dog is there to keep the man away from the machines.”Davidson's article is one of a number of pieces that have recently appeared making the point that the reason we have such stubbornly high unemployment and declining middleclass incomes today is also because of the advances in both globalization and the information technology revolution,which are more rapidly than ever replacing labor with machines or foreign worker.In the past,workers with average skills,doing an average job，could earn an average lifestyle.But，today，average is officially over.Being average just won't earn you what it used to.It can't when so many more employers have so much more access to so much more above average cheap foreign labor,cheap robotics,cheap software,cheap automation and cheap genius.Therefore,everyone needs to find their extra—their unique value contribution that makes them stand out in whatever is their field of employment.Yes,new technology has been eating jobs forever,and always will.But there's been acceleration.As Davidson notes,“In the 10 years ending in 2009,U.S.factories shed workers so fast that they erased almost all the gains of the previous 70 years;roughly one out of every three manufacturing jobs—about 6 million in total—disappeared.”There will always be change—new jobs,new products,new services.But the one thing we know for sure is that with each advance in globalization and the I.T.revolution,the best jobs will require workers to have more and better education to make themselves above average.In a world where average is officially over,there are many things we need to do to support employment,but nothing would be more important than passing some kind of G.I.Bill for the 21st century that ensures that every American has access to posthigh school education.
Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for the text?A.New Law Takes Effect
B.Technology Goes Cheap
C.Average Is Over
D.Recession Is Bad答案：C解析：主旨题【命题思路】主旨题需要结合文章的结构以及核心话题进行选择。【直击答案】从整个文章的脉络来看，第一段揭示了科技进步给人们带来的影响。第二、三段指出科技的进步引起工厂自动化水平提高，普通员工如果没有竞争力和突出优势，就很容易失去工作，因此也对员工提出了更高的要求。第四段指出员工只有不断地提高自己的教育水平，才能脱颖而出。最后一段点明主题，average is officially over。所以正确答案为C。【干扰排除】A项所提到的新法案实施仅仅是局部细节，非全篇的主要话题；B项则是文章第三段中提出的目前就业市场的一个现状，属于论据；D项文中并未提到，属于无中生有。 -

问答题The well-known phrase “honoring the teacher and respecting his teaching” has long been a part of Chinese tradition and culture. According to recent Global Teacher Status Index, teachers have the highest social status in China across the world. The following is a new report on people’s view on teaching profession. Read it carefully and write your response in about 300 words, in which you should: 1. summarize briefly the public’s view on teaching profession nowadays; 2. give your comment. Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks. As Teacher’s Day is approaching, the China Youth Daily received 1,089 reader responses from a nationwide survey. Results indicated that the teaching profession is still a respectable occupation; 91.6 percent voted that they wanted the most outstanding people to be teachers. “The profession of teacher should be the most respectable occupation in our society. The group should consist of the most outstanding people, or our nation’s development will be affected,” a respondent stated in the poll. Asked about which kind of teachers are the most outstanding ones, some readers answered: “Not all talented teachers are outstanding in their fields. An excellent teacher ought to be first of all a person of high morals, since teachers educate young people.” Even more interesting, 76.3 percent of the respondents said that a teacher is someone who influenced them most. But people’s views toward what kind of teachers are good teachers have changed. Another survey this June showed that 31.6 percent of the people admired knowledgeable teachers, 67.6 percent liked teachers who made their classes easy and interesting, and 51.9 percent preferred teachers with a good sense of humor. In short, being knowledgeable is the first and most important aspect of being a teacher, and on this basis, students clearly prefer lively and witty teachers. The bad news: recent years have seen the rapid reduction of normal universities and colleges. Many have been upgraded to comprehensive universities by name changes and mergers. Education experts worry that this kind of development will harm teacher training because these courses were conducted in those types of universities or colleges. The good news: the latest government work report states that the country would provide free education for students attending teacher training universities. The policy has become a reality as a total of 11,000 students enrolled in six teacher-training universities bare now begun enjoying free education as of last week. These students began registration respectively at the six universities based in Beijing, Shanghai, Changchun, Wuhan, Xi’an and Chongqing on September 4th. 73 percent of the readers who responded to the survey believed that the free education policy signals that the country is paying greater attention to education and teachers. 60.1 percent of the respondents said that the policy should be popularized and extended to more normal universities and colleges. Of those polled, the majority (55.6 percent) said that they wanted to be university or college teachers, because of the “high salary and low pressure, good working environment and non-fixed office hours.” “Some teachers even have their own research program.” 29.5 percent wanted to be middle school teachers, 13.4 percent wanted to be kindergarten teachers, and 8.2 percent say they didn’t want to teach at all. Some respondents said that the salary of rural teachers in central and western areas should be increased. If not, even those students who enjoy free education in normal universities and love the teaching jobs will still face the ultimate question: choose their dream job or find something better to make ends meet?正确答案：

Even Teachers are Humans Needing Material Comfort The article above describes the dilemma of being a teacher in China The teaching profession, according to the survey did by China Youth Daily, is respected by the majority of Chinese people and the social expectation of teachers’ morality and knowledge remains high. Nevertheless, there is a worrisome trend that the number of teacher-training universities is decreasing and teachers’ salary is less than satisfactory. This mismatch is the very obstacle that prevents many young talents from the teaching profession. The fact soon catches the government’s attention and six universities are taking measures to help those potential teachers. From a student’s point of view, I know how important it is to have qualified teachers in my life and what a significant role the government should play in ensuring the teachers’ interests.
Two pertinent rewards to teachers should be guaranteed: tangible and intangible. We can learn from the news coverage above that teachers are now well-respected and have gained social recognition, which represents the teachers’ high social status. As for the tangible rewards, the situation is far from being contented. Most teachers in rural areas are under-paid and lead a dismal life. They are suffering from poverty, but meanwhile, they are responsible for thousands of students’ morality, knowledge and personality. I strongly believe that teachers deserve favorable housing allowance or an annual increase of bonus.
In conclusion, since teachers’ social value is widely recognized, they sure deserve better living conditions and higher salary. Without the fear of disturbance in the rear, the aspiring teachers can fully throw themselves into the teaching career.解析：

Just as business firms sometimes collude to shorten 9．______the rigors of competition, universities collude to minimize the cost tothem of the athletes whom they recruit in order to stimulate alumnidonations, so the best athletes now often bypass higher education in order toobtain salaries earlier from professional teams. And until they were stoppedby the antitrust authorities, the Ivy League schools colluded to limitcompetition for the best students, by agreeing not to award scholarshipson the basis of merit rather than purely of need--just like businessfirms agreeing not to give discounts on their best customer. 10．______正确答案：
1.investing → invested university endowments与invest之间是被动关系,故用过去分词作定语。
2.irrespective ^ (of) fluctuations irrespective of固定结构,相当于regardless of,意为“不顾…的,不考虑…的”。
3.those → that 此处that指代上文提到过的单数名词the outlook。
4.√
5.the school 此处不是表达“在某一特定学校”之意,而是“上学,求学”之意,用in school。
6.poor → poorer 此句是“the more…the more”结构,表达“越…,越…”之意、
7.way ^ (in) which in which引导定语从句,修饰the way。the way通常与介词in搭配。
8.eliminate → eliminating 动名词短语eliminating与前面的giving并列作include的宾语。
9.shorten → lessen “竞争的残酷性”不是缩短,而是减少,因此用shorten不合适。
