2.根据下列材料请回答 61~65 题:DEducators are seriously concerned about the high rate of dropouts among the doctor of philosophy candidates and the consequent loss of talent to a nation in need of PhDs. Some have placed the dropouts loss as high as 50 percent. The extent of the loss was, however, largely a matter of expert guessing. Last week a well-rounded study was published. It was based on 22,000 questionnaires sent to former graduate students who were enrolled in 24 universities and it seemed to show many past fears to be groundless.The dropouts rate was found to be 31 per cent, and in most cases the dropouts, while not completing the PhD requirement, went on to productive work. They are not only doing well financially, but, according to the report, are not far below the income levels of those who went on to complete their doctorates.Discussing the study last week, Dr. Tucker said the project was initiated “because of the concern frequently expressed by graduate faculties and administrators that some of the individuals who dropped out of PhD programs were capable of completing the requirement for the degree. Attrition at the PhD level is also thought to be a waste of precious faculty time and a drain on university resources already being used to capacity. Some people expressed the opinion that the shortage of highly trained specialists and college teachers could be reduced by persuading the dropouts to return to graduate schools to complete the PhD.”“The results of our research”, Dr. Tucker concluded, “did not support these opinions.”1. Lack of motivation was the principal reason for dropping out.2. Most dropouts went as far in their doctoral program as was consistent with their levels of ability or their specialities.3. Most dropouts are now engaged in work consistent with their education and motivation.Nearly 75 per cent of the dropouts said there was no academic reason for their decision, but those who mentioned the academic reason cited failure to pass the qualifying examination, uncompleted research and failure to pass language exams. Among the single most important personal reasons identified by dropouts for non-completion of their PhD program, lack of finances was marked by 19 per cent.As an indication of how well the dropouts were doing, a chart showed 2% in humanities were receiving $ 20,000 and more annually while none of the PhD' s with that background reached this figure. The PhD’s shone in the $ 7,500 to $ 15,000 bracket with 78% at that level against 50% for the dropouts. This may also be an indication of the fact that top salaries in the academic fields, where the PhD' s tend to rise to the highest salaries, are still lagging behind other fields.As to the possibility of getting dropouts back on campus, the outlook was glum. The main condition which would have to prevail for at least 25 % of the dropouts who might consider returning to the graduate school would be to guarantee that they would retain their present level of income and in some cases their present job.第 61 题 The author states that many educators feel that_________A. steps should be taken to get the dropouts back to campusB. the dropouts should return to a lower quality school to continue their studyC. the PhD holder is generally a better adjusted person than the dropoutD. the high dropouts rate is largely attributable to the lack of stimulation on the part of faculty members

    A proverb from ancient China was widely spread in the West: "If you want to be happy for a few hours, go to get drunk; if you want the happiness to last three years, get married; if you want lifetime happiness, take up gardening." The reason for the last is this: Gardening is not only useful, but it helps you to identify yourself with nature, and thus brings you new joy each day besides improving your health.
    A research of a US university that I′ve read gives a definition of happiness as what makes a person feel comfortably pleased. To put it simply, happiness is an active state of mind where one thinks one′ s life is meaningful, satisfactory and comfortable. This should be something lasting rather than transitory.
    Lots of people regard it the happiest to be at leisure. But according to a study, it is not a person with plenty of leisure but one at work that feels happy, especially those busy with work having little time for leisure. Happiness does not mean gains one is after but a desire to harvest what one is seeking for. People often do not treasure what they already have but desire what they cannot get. That is somewhat like a man with fond dreams of numerous lovers while unwilling to settle down with the woman beside him.
    Happiness is a game balancing between two ends--what one has and what one wishes for, i.e. one′s dream and the possibility to realize it. The study comes to this conclusion: A happy man is one who aims high but never forgets his actual situation; one who meets challenges that develop his ability and potentiality; one who′s proud of his achievements and the recognition given to him. He has self-respect and self-confidence; treasures his own identity and loves freedom. He is sociable and enjoys wide range communication with others; he′s helpful and ready to accept assistance. He knows he is able to bear sufferings and failures; he is sensible enough to get fun from daily work. He is a man capable of love and passion.
    Who is more likely to be unhappy according to the study?

    A.The man who is ambitious regardless of his actual situation.
    B.The one who has self-esteem and has confidence in himself.
    C.The one who can take pleasure in communicating with others.
    D.The one who always helps others and also accepts help from others.

    答案:A
    解析:
    细节题。根据文章最后一段内容,幸福的人是既能够树立高远的目标,又不会忘记实际情况的人;幸福的人是自尊、自信的人,他认可自己。并且热爱自由。幸福的人善于社交,并且能够从与其他人进行的广泛交流中得到乐趣;幸福的人热心助人,并且愿意接受别人的帮助。只有A项与文意不符,故选A。

    Play
    Play is the principal business of childhood,and in recent years research has shown the great importance of play in the development of a human being. From earliest infancy,every child needs opportunity and the right materials for play,and the main tools of play are toys.Their main func- tion is to suggest,encourage and assist play.To succeed in this they must he good toys,which children will play with often,and will come back to again and again.Therefore it is important to choose suitable toys for different stages of a child's development.
    In recent years research on infant development has shown that the standard a child is likely to reach,within the range of his inherited abilities,is largely determined in the first three years of his life .So a baby's ability to profit from the right play materials should not be underestimated.A baby,who is encouraged and stimulated,talked to and shown things and played with,has the best chance of growing up successfully.
    In the next stage,from three to five years old,curiosity knows no bounds.Every type of suitable toy should be made available to the child,for trying out,experimenting and learning,for discovering his own particular ability. Bricks and jigsaws(七巧板)and construction toys ; painting,scribbling(涂鸦)and making things;sand and water play;toys for imaginative and pretending play;the first social games for learning to play and get on with others.
    By the third stage of play development—from five to seven or eight years—the child is at school .But for a few more years play is still the best way of learning,at home or at school.It is easier to see which type of toys the child most enjoys.
    Until the age of seven or eight,play and work mean much the same to a child.But once reading has been mastered,then books and schools become the main source of learning.Toys are still interesting and valuable,they lead on to new hobbies,but、their significance has changed—to a child of nine or ten years,toys and games mean,as to adults,relaxation and fun.

    According to the passage,the abilities a child has inherited from his parents________.
    A: determine his character
    B: will not change after the age of three
    C: partly determine the standard he is likely to reach
    D: to a large extent determine the choice of toys

    答案:C
    解析:
    这句话“…as a child grows up ,he should be given different toys”和第一段的最后一句话“…it is important to choose suitable toys for different stages of a child's development”(给处于不同生长期的孩子选择合适的玩具很重要)是一样的意思。


    本题的依据是第二段的第一句话,这句话中有一个介词短语:within the range of his inherited abilities,如果先抛开这个短语,句子的其余部分意为:近年对儿童成长的研究表明,孩子出生的头3年在很大程度上决定了他今后将达到的水平。但这个结论的限定是“在他遗传得到的能力范围之内”(within the range of his inherited abilities),也就是说孩子从父母那里遗传来的能力部分地决定了他可能达到的水平。


    答案的依据是第二段的最后一句话,选项C讲到的3点:given toys, talked to and played with在这句话里都可以找到:talked to and shown things and played with,只是次序稍有不同。


    第三段的第一句话告诉我们,孩子3~5岁时是好奇心最强的时候,所以B : around four,四岁前后,是正确答案。


    这道题的答案取决于对整篇文章的理解和把握,本文的题目是Play,第一段的第一句话就把文章的中心点出来了:…in recent years research has shown the great importance of play in the development of a human being.第二、第三、第四段分别讲了在1~3岁、3 ~5 岁、5~7/8岁这三个阶段玩耍对孩子成长的重要作用。

    Practice 7  Some people would say that the Englishman's home is no longer his castle; that it has become his workshop. This is partly because the average English is keen on working with his own hands and partly because he feels, for one reason or another, that he must do for himself many household jobs for which, some years ago, he would have hired professional help. The main reason for this is a financial one.. the high cost of labor has meant that the builders and decorators' costs have reached a level which makes them prohibitive for house-proud English people of modest means. So, if they wish to keep their houses looking bright and smart, they have to tackle some of the repairs and decorating themselves. As a result, there has grown up in the post-war years what is sometimes referred to as the “Do-it-yourself Movement”.  The “Do-it-yourself Movement” began with home decorating but has since spread into a much wider field. Nowadays there seem to be very few things that cannot be made by the “do-it- yourself” method.

    有些人会说,英国人的家不再是自己的城堡,而成了自家的工场。一方面是因为普通英国人热衷于自己动手干活,另一方面是因为出于某种原因,他觉得自己必须干许多家务活,而在几年前,他会雇专业人员来干。其中主要原因是经济问题:劳动力昂贵意味着请建筑工和装潢工的费用涨了许多,以家为荣但收入不高的英国人负担不起。因此,如果这些英国人想让自己的住宅保持明亮而又漂亮,他们就得自己动手对住宅作些修缮和装饰。其结果是,在战后的年代里,英国出现了有时候被称为“自己动手”的运动。

    Practice 8  The style of Dryden is capricious and varied, that of Pope is cautious and uniform; Dryden obeys the motions of his own mind, Pope constrains his mind to his own rules of composition. Dryden is sometimes vehement and rapid; Pope is always smooth, uniform, and gentle. Dryden’s page is a natural field, rising into one qualities, and diversified by the varied exuberance of abundant vegetation; Pope’s is a velvet lawn, shaven by the scythe, and leveled by the roller.  Of genius, that power which constitutes a poet; that quality without which judgment is cold, and knowledge is inert; that energy which collects, combines, amplifies, and animates; the superiority must, with some hesitation, be allowed to Dryden. It is not to be inferred, that of this poetical vigor Pope had only a little, Because Dryden had more; for every other writer since Milton must give place to Pope; and even of Dryden it must be said, that, if he has brighter paragraphs, he has not better poems. Dryden’s performances were always hasty, either excited by some external occasion, or extorted by domestic necessity; he composed without consideration, and published without correction, what his mind could supply at call, or gather in one excursion, was all that he sought, and all that he gave. The dilatory caution of Pope enabled him to condense his sentiments, to multiply his images, and to accumulate all that study might produce, or chance might supply. If of Dryden’s fire the blaze is bright, of Pope’s the heat is more regular and constant. Dryden often surpasses expectation, and Pope never falls below it. (300 words)

    德莱顿的写作风格形式多样,变化多端;蒲柏则严谨而统一。德莱顿创作时直抒胸臆,蒲柏则按自己的章法创作。德莱顿有时文笔激烈恣肆,蒲柏则流畅匀整,温柔有致。德莱顿的诗篇是片自然田地,高低起伏不一,郁郁葱葱,杂然纷呈。蒲柏的诗篇则是天鹅绒般丝滑的草地,镰刀修整得法,滚筒机抚平般的平整光滑。
