　　Passage One
　　Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
　　Lately it has become fashionable in America to question whether it is really worth it to go to college. According to a new survey released by the Pew Research Center, only 40 percent of Americans felt that colleges provided a good value for the cost. At the same time,86 percent of college graduates still felt the investment was a good one for them.
　　There are a number of reasons for the widespread dissatisfaction with college. First, there are plenty of problems with higher education—poor quality and out-of-control costs are two of the biggest，Second， it is true that college is not for everyone.There are plenty of rewarding and important careers that do not require college.And due to the slow economy，there may in fact be more graduates than the current job market needs.Besides，anti-college sentiment is nothing new· Today，Microsoft’s Bill Gates or Apple’s Steve Jobs—both college dropouts-is often held up as evidence of why all that time sitting in class is better spent elsewhere.
　　However，getting a college education is still a good idea.College graduates earn more，and are more likely to have a job in the first place.According to the statistics last year，the average weekly earnings for someone with some college but no degree were$712，compared to$1，038 for a college graduate.That is almost$17，000 over the course of a year and there is an even bigger divide for those with less education.Meanwhile，the unemployment rate was 9.2 percent for those with only some college and more than 10 percent for those with just a middle school degree，but it was 5.4 percent for college graduates.The economic gaps between college completers and those with less education are getting larger.
　　Although most Americans surveyed by Pew feel doubtful about the value of a college degree，an overwhelming majority of parents Pew surveyed still expect their children to go to college.“It call be inferred that the increased doubt has not significantly influenced decision making，’’Pew’s Taylor says.“Despite the concern about rising costs and other problems，college remains a universal desire in this country.”

1. Recently many Americans question（）.

Athe value of a college degree

Bthe ability of college graduates

Cthe quality of college education

Dthe high cost of higher education

2. The passage tells US that Bill Gates was（）.

Aa self-taught college student

Ba hardworking undergraduate

Ca successful college dropout

Banti—college sentiment is a new thing

Ccollege cannot guarantee employment

Dcollege education remains a wise choice

4. The unemployment rate for college graduates last Year was（）.

A5.4%

B7.1%

C9.2%

D10%

5. The Pew survey implies that（）.

Athe cost of college education will decrease

Bmost Americans still favor college education

Cthe quality of college education will improve

Dincreased doubt affects parents’decision making

　　Passage Two
　　Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
　　A major sociological(社会学的)theory known as symbolic interactionism(符号互动论)offers some important clarification of how men and women are taught to fill different roles in society.The key concept in symbolic interactionism is that communication makes a big difference in behavior：people act on the basis of messages they receive from others，and how they understand those messages. This can be seen in a concept developed by sociologist Charles Horton Cooley known as the looking-glass self.
　　By the looking-glass self，Cooley meant the self-image that each of us develops according to the messages we receive from others;we think and behave according to our understanding of those messages.If, for example，a young girl is repeatedly told that she is pretty, she will come to believe that(1)she is in fact pretty，and(2)being pretty is an important thing in her life.Similarly，if she is told that she is not good(or not expected to be good)at certain things(such as math) she will come to believe that she is not good at such things and would better off working at things she can be successful at.The likely product is a young woman who devotes a great deal of attention to her appearance，regards being pretty as a key to success in life，and who is intimidated by anything involving numbers.
　　Since we know that young girls are given messages like these，and that young boys are given different messages，we can see a good part of how sex roles are taught.There is little or no evidence of differences in what young girls and young girls and boys can do，but the older children become，the greater the differences in the areas in which boys and girls are likely to stand out.

6. Symbolic interactionism helps to explain（）.

Ahow to make a difference in people’s social behavior

Bhow to make people understand different social roles

Chow men and women learn to communicate in society

Dhow men and women learn to take different social roles

7. The　“looking-glass self"’　concept offers a clue as to（）.

Awhether one can improve one’s self-image

Bwhether one is likely to succeed in an area

Chow one receives different social messages

Dhow social messages shape one’s self-image

8. The example of the young girl shows that（）.

Awomen care more about appearance

Bwomen are inferior to men in numbers

Cpeople are liable to social expectations

Dpeople regard looks as a key to Success

9. The phrase “better off’(para.2)probably means（）

Amore comfortable

Bmore dependable

Cmore respectable

Dmore reasonable

10. Boys and girls are likely to stand out in different areas（）.

Aas they advance in age

Bas they grow in wisdom

Cas their interests diversify

Das their capacities develop

　　Passage Three
　　Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.
　　Since the beginning of the Internet era，it has been widely accepted that when you join an online company，whatever data you put into it belongs to you.
　　That means you can sign up for one kind of email，import your contacts into that system，and if you later decide to switch to some other email service，you can export all your contacts from the first service into the new one.You can use Microsoft’s Hotmail，then move to Yahoo Mail，then to Google’s Gmail.Or you can have accounts on three services and keep all your contacts in each one.
　　That’ the way things were — until Facebook appeared. Facebook took a different approach Until recently, everything you put into Facebook could not be exported anywhere. In effect, you didn’t own your data. Facebook did.
　　Of course this is rubbish.The reality is that Facebook wants to make it difficult，if not impossible，for you to leave.
　　Now that policy has sparked a fight between Google and Facebook.Google is angry because its users can，and often do，export their Gmail contact information into Facebook.But those people can’t bring Facebook information back into Gmail.
　　Earlier this month Google declared it would block exports of its data to Facebook.In a shameless move，Facebook broke through Google’s roadblock so its users could keep pulling data from Google.
　　Google said it was “disappointed’’ with Facebook’s behavior.It also created a warning screen to tell Gmail users that if they export their information to Facebook they won’t get it back.
　　Basically，Facebook’s position with major IT companies is this：if you want access to all the information we’ve collected，strike a deal with us.Microsoft and Yahoo have done that，and now，like magic，they can export Facebook contact information into their systems，while Google still can’t.
　　Remember the early days of the Net，when everything was going to be open and flee? That was great until people realized that their user data could be turned into gold.Now there are billions involved，and nobody is playing nice anymore.

Time is dangerous.If you don’t control it，it will control you.If you don't make it work for you，it will work against you.You must become the master of time，not the servant.Study hard and play hard is an old proverb，but it still makes sense.You have plenty of time for classes，study and play if you use your time properly.It is not how much time you allocate for study that counts but how much you learn when you do study.
The more time you waste，the easier it is to continue wasting time.Soon, doing nothing becomes a habit you can’t break.It becomes a drug.When this happens，you lose your feeling of accomplishment.
