21、A recent story in the Wall Street Journal newspaper looked at students who went to celebrated universities such as Columbia and New York University, for advanced degrees in subjects like art, film and even social work. Many of the students said they learned a lot. However, when they graduated, they were deep in debt and did not think they would find work that would let them pay back their loans.

Students said they spoke with Columbia about the high cost of advanced arts degrees but never received a reasonable answer. Education experts say the school is very wealthy, with large funds. The University, however, prefers to ask the students to pay the full cost.

Kevin Carey is a higher education expert for New America, a public policy research center. He called master’s degrees “a scam” in a conversation. “Charging people a ton of money to go into any artistic career is often super problematic,” he said.

Castillo is an actor in New York City. He earned an MFA from The Actors Studio in New York City. Was his MFA worth the cost? “I do think it was worth it. I don’t put a price tag on my education or my experience. I think it’s sort of unfortunate that so many people take education for granted.” Castillo said students who are thinking about an advanced degree in art should be sure they are doing it because they value the education, not because they want money or to be famous.

Plazinska is a filmmaker in New York City. She attended graduate school both at Baylor University in Texas and at the University of Lowa. Arts graduate programs can help students meet and make friends with fellow artists with whom they can work throughout their careers. For school to be of value, students need to remember why they started making art in the beginning. “It’s just for the pure pleasure of creating and fulfilling myself this way.”

【1】What’s the problem for students in famous universities for art advanced degrees?

A．They can’t take loans.

B．They can’t find any work.

C．They may be heavily in debt.

D．They may drop out of university.

【2】What does the underlined word “scam” in paragraph 3 mean?

A．Way.

B．Trick.

C．Skill.

D．Game.

【3】What does Castillo think of his MFA?

A．He thinks highly of it.

B．It’s a waste of money.

C．He takes it for granted.

D．It brings him fame and money.

【4】What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?

A．Arts graduate programs ensure a promising future.

B．Students had better consider whether they can afford the fee.

C．Arts graduate programs introduce celebrity artists to their students.

D．Students should stick to their original purposes while learning.

22、   The United States’ job market has millions of unfilled jobs. Many of those jobs require technical skills. However, employers say many of those jobs are vacant because they cannot find people with the right skills. Labor experts call this paradox the skills gap. A number of efforts have been launched to better understand and solve it.

Nicholas Wyman wrote a book called, “Job U: How to Find Wealth and Success by Developing the Skills Companies Actually Need.” He calls the skills gap, “a labor market mismatch — people without jobs and jobs without people.”

In the United States, the cost of a traditional four-year college can be very high. U.S. colleges and universities produce many graduates every year. Yet unemployment rates among new graduates are high.

Nicholas Wyman says a combination of technical classes and on-the-job training — an apprenticeship (学徒) — would be a better choice for many people. He notes that, “An apprenticeship is where you learn from a specialist, you are provided guidance and you learn in an on-the-job environment. It is vital to get technical skills that are of immediate value to an employer. And it is important to get transferrable skills because technology and the nature of the workplace are changing at a faster rate than before.”

There are questions about the definition, size, and nature of the skills gap in the labor force. Iowa State University researchers studied some of these questions recently. They examined employment, education and population information, and found the evidence of a skills gap is weak.

Iowa State’s Liesl Eathington noted that many policymakers and employers say there is opportunity in “middle skills” areas, like machining. Yet she said the most recent recession (经济衰退) hit some of those job areas hard. She said students should be on guard because “our economy really isn’t adding that many jobs that require the middle skills.”

She said employers could get more well-qualified applicants if they offered higher wages. She noted that graduates of two-year training programs still generally make less money than graduates of four-year colleges.

The question of finding the night person for the right job remains a difficult one. The Department of Labor says 8.7 million Armenians are unemployed and another 6.7 million can find only part-time work.

【1】The underlined word “paradox” in paragraph 1 refers to ________.

A. the large number of unemployed new graduates

B. the demands employers make on employees

C. people without jobs and jobs without people

D. people disqualified for the vacant positions

【2】What will Nicholas Wyman probably advise new graduates to do to get employed?

A. To receive technical training. B. To drop the costly college education.

C. To value the job opportunities. D. To arm themselves with various skills.

【3】According to Liesl Eathington, what is the solution to the skills gap?

A. Reforming the dullness of economy. B. Guarding against recessions.

C. Updating workers’ professional skills. D. Raising employees’ earnings.

23、Most students seem to have considerable “test anxiety”. 【1】 If you do this, you will not be able to show what you are really able to accomplish. Here are some suggestions that you should consider.

【2】

Waiting until the night before a test to start studying is likely to spike your anxiety. Instead of waiting until the last minute, start studying as soon as a test is scheduled. With several days or even a week to prepare, you’ll feel more relaxed because you have plenty of time to learn the material.

Organize Your Materials

It’s important to gather all of your materials, including your books, notes, and other studying tools before the big exam. Keeping them all in order and handy is a great way to make sure that you can reference and cross-reference them. 【3】

Review your notes each night.

Reviewing your notes daily will help you to organize the material for yourself. Don’t expect that your understanding will come during the lecture. 【4】You need to spend time thinking about the course outside of class.

Get a good night’s sleep before the exam.

Staying up too late studying the night before an exam is a bad idea, in general. If you do just one thing, this is it: get enough sleep the night before your exam. Sleep, particularly deep sleep, is critical for memory formation. Make it a practice to get a good night’s rest after any intense day of learning and studying. 【5】

A．Draw up a schedule.

B．Learning simply doesn’t work that way.

C．Leave yourself plenty of time for studying.

D．Most students suffer mental illness when preparing for a test.

E．It will help your brain to retain as much information as possible.

F．Many talk themselves out of doing well before they even have the exam.

G．This will also make your life a lot easier when you get heavy into your studying.

24、   When you catch the flu and your body temperature rises to fight the virus, that's a form of acute inflammation. So is the redness and swelling that occur when you hurt your ankle. The process is a temporary, helpful response to an injury or illness. It provides the healing chemicals and nutrients your body needs to repair the damage. Once the danger goes away, so does the inflammation.

Chronic low-grade inflammation, on the other hand, is a slow, gradual condition sustained by a misfiring of the immune system that keeps your body in a constant, long-term state of alert, says Dr Robert H. Shmerling, teaching clinician in the department of rheumatology at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, USA.

Over time, inflammation damages healthy cells. Here's why: When cells are in distress, they release chemicals that alert the immune system. White blood cells then flood the scene, where they work to eat up bacteria, viruses, damaged cells and pieces from an infection or injury. If the damage is too great, they call in backup cells known as neutrophils, which are the hand grenades of the immune system—they blow up everything in sight, healthy or not. Each neutrophil has a short life, but in chronic inflammation, they continue to be sent in long after the real threat is gone, causing damage to the healthy tissue that remains. The inflammation can start attacking the linings of your arteries or intestines, the cells in your liver and brain or the tissues of your muscles and joints.

This inflammation-caused cellular damage can trigger diseases like diabetes, cancer, dementia, heart disease, arthritis and depression. And because it's low grade, “it’s slow and secret nature makes it hard to diagnose in day-to-day life,” says Roma Pahwa, a researcher for the National Institutes of Health who specializes in the inflammatory response. “You have no idea it is even happening until those conditions show symptoms.”

【1】Which can best describe acute inflammation as a response?

A．Lasting.

B．Beneficial.

C．Harmful.

D．Dangerous.

【2】What can we learn about neutrophils?

A．They function as backup cells.

B．They only damage something bad.

C．They will disappear with a real threat.

D．They should cause slight damage.

【3】What we infer from the last paragraph?

A．We can't be too careful about cellular damage.

B．Doctors can identify cellular damage with ease.

C．Cellular damage is fast and obvious in nature.

D．There exists no effective cure for cellular damage.

【4】What is the purpose of this text?

A．To introduce some ways to keep healthy.

B．To get inflammation known to people.

C．To warn people of dangers of cellular damage.

D．To recommend a cure for diabetes.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

18-year-old Paul often visited his 80-year-old grandma Edith. He’d start his day early and leave for his grandma’s house first in the morning.

Because his family was poor, Paul walked nearly six miles daily to see Edith, bringing her breakfast and chatting with her. Edith lived alone and didn’t want to move out of her beloved house to live with Paul’s family.

She was touched by Paul’s care for her. And she decided she’d pass her house and heirloom(传家宝)jewelry down to him when she died.

Sixty-year-old Stephen was Edith’s neighbour. Whenever he saw Paul came, he’d sit silently near his motorbike in his yard and listen to them chatting joyfully. It often reminded him of his only grandchild, who was lost in an accident with his parents on his birthday. After that, Stephen lived alone. He felt an unusual affection for Paul.

One day, on his way to Edith’s house, Paul saw Stephen struggling to move his motorbike. He rushed to help him. “Thank you,son,” Stephen said. “Do you live nearby? I often see you here.”

After Paul explained, Stephen was shocked that Paul would walk so far daily. Then Stephen took out the keys to the motorbike, which he had planned to give to his grandchild as a birthday gift. “Here! I was planning to sell it. Now, I decide to give it to you for free,” Stephen said. Paul refused, but he insisted.

Paul gratefully took the keys and further chatted with Stephen. He learned Stephen lived a poor life and made a living by driving tourists around using his own car. The car was old. He guessed it would be useless in a year or two.

After chatting, Paul went to visit his grandmother. When he left, he waved at Stephen as he rode past his house. The following day, Paul reached Edith’s house earlier by motorbike. He was shocked when finding his grandma lying on the floor in a dead faint. He immediately called an ambulance.

“If you had arrived five minutes late, you could have lost her,” the doctor told Paul.

Days later, Paul bought Stephen a new car by selling the jewelry from his late grandma.
