Directions: Read the following passages carefully and choo the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.
Questions 1 to 5 are bad on the following passage or dialog.
In order to parate doting parents from their freshman sons, Morehou College in Atlanta has instituted a formal "Parting Ceremony". It began on a recent evening, with speeches in the Martin Luther King Jr. International Chapel (小教堂). Then the incoming freshmen marched through the gates of the campus—which slowly shut, literally leaving the parents outside.
When University of Minnesota freshmen move in at the end of August, parental paration was a little more artful: mothers and fathers were invited to a reception elwhere so students can meet their roommates and negotiate dorm room space—without adult interference.
Grinnell College here, like others, has found it necessary to be explicit about when parents really, truly must say goodbye. Aft面试的注意事项
er computer printers and bags had been carried to dorm rooms, everyone gather
ed in the gymnasium, students on one side of the bleachers (看台座位), parents on the other. The president welcoming the class of 2011 had his back to the parents—a symbolic staging meant to inspire parents to realize, "My student is feeling more comfortable sitting with 400 people they just met." Shortly after, mothers and fathers were urged to leave campus. Most deans can tell stories of parents who lingered around campus for days. At Colgate University, a mother and father once went to their daughter's class on the first day of the mester and went to the registrar's office to change her schedule, recalled Beverly Low, the dean of first-year students. "We recognize it's a huge day for families," she said.
A more common approach is for colleges to introduce frank lan图片可爱卡通
guage into drop-off schedules stating clearly the hour for last hugs. As of 5: on Sept. 11, for example, the parents of Princeton freshmen learn from the move-in schedule, "subquent events are intended for students only." The language was added in recent years to draw a clear line. It's easy for students to point to
this and say "Hey, Mom, I think you're suppod to be gone now".

Questions 6 to 10 are bad on the following passage or dialog.
Lord Browne, the former head of BP (英国石油公司), is conducting a review of student finance with a report expected to be published in the coming weeks. The report's anticipated recommendations would result in new graduates facing an extra 5,000 burden of debt in addition to the current average of 20,000, it was claimed.
Among the options being considered by the panel is a limit on the amount of fund嘴巴小的男人性格
ing per student supplied by the government, with universities being forced to subsidize (补助) teaching from their own funds. This measure could e the cap on tuition fees removed completely, but would be likely to result in reduced applications for the most expensive cours, particularly from poorer students.
The recommendation of higher tuition fees would appear to contradict statements by Vince Cable, the Business Secretary, earlier this summer when he spoke in favor of a tax on graduates.

Questions 11 to 15 are bad on the following passage or dialog.
The ca for college has been accepted without question for more than a generation. All high school graduates ought to go, says conventional wisdom and statistical evidence, becau college will help them earn more money, become "better" people, and learn to be more responsible citizens than tho who don't go.
But college has never been able to work its magic for everyone. And now that clo to half our high school graduates are attending, tho who don't fit the pattern are becoming more numerous, and more obvious. College graduates are lling shoes and driving taxis and write fal letters of recommendation in the inten competition for admission to graduate school. Others find no读论语心得体会
stimulation in their studies, and drop out—often encouraged by college administrators.
Some obrvers say the fault is with the young people themlves—they are spoiled and they are expecting too much. But that doesn't explain all campus unhappiness. Others blame the state of the world, and they are partly right. We have been told that young people have to go to college becau our economy can't absorb an army of untrained eighteen-year-olds. But
