A survey of university backgrounds of heads of major global companies found that Harvard in the United States was the most likely place that they have studied in.
The Times Higher Education magazine ranked the universities attended by chief executive officers(CEO) of Fortune Global 500 companies. There are four U．S. universities in the top 10, with three from France, two from Japan and one from South Korea. The highest ranked U．K. university is Oxford in 21st place.
This league table, described as the Alma Mater Index, shows which universities around the world taught the bosses of some of the world’s biggest companies. One in twenty had a degree from a single institution, Harvard. This included Margaret
C． Whitman of Hewlett?Packard, Jeffrey R. Immelt of General Electric and Vittorio Colao of Vodafone.
But the top 10 for producing business leaders does not contain all the usual names that appear at the top of university rankings. Oxford and Cambridge are absent, but the University of Pennsylvania in the U．S. and Keio University in Japan are included, along with three French universities, headed by the ?cole Polytechnique.
Across the top 100, universities from the U．S. dominate , followed by universities in China, Japan, France and Germany. There are more CEOs who went to university in Asia than in Europe. In terms of national comparisons, U．K. universities produced the sixth highest number of global chief executives, with Oxford in 21st place and Cambridge in 45th place.
But even though Harvard might have taught the biggest number of bosses from the top 500 companies, it was not attended by any of the heads of the biggest 10 companies, who were from a more diverse range of universities.
Royal Dutch Shell is headed by a graduate of Zurich University of Applied Sciences; Walmart is headed by a student of Georgia Tech and Exxon Mobil has a chief executive from the University of Texas, Autin. Three of the leaders of these biggest companies went to university in China and the head of Volkswagen went to university in Stuttgart.

A．One． B．Two.

解析 C 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句可知，在这项调查中排名前10的大学中日本有2所，韩国有1所，即亚洲有3所，故选C项。
2.What does the underlined word “dominate” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A．Decrease． B．Accelerate.
C．Take the lead． D．Make great progress.
解析 C 词义猜测题。根据画线词后面的followed(紧随其后的)可知，画线词应该表达“领先”之意，故选C项。

A．Cambridge University ranks highest among them.
B．None of them are among the top 10 list of the survey.
C．They performed better than French universities on the list.
D．They produced the second highest number of global CEOs.
解析 B 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句可知，英国排名最高的是牛津大学，位居第21名，由此推知，英国没有一所大学在这项调查结果中位居世界前10名，故选B项。
4．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．The Rankings of the Famous Universities in the World
B．Which Is Described as the Best University in the World?

Are the super?rich more likely to be better educated? Or have they given up scholarship and dedicated themselves to the serious business of being seriously rich?
According to a global census(统计) of dollar billionaires, almost two?thirds have a university degree. In the U．K., more than four out of five billionaires are in higher education.
The census was produced by the Swiss banking group and a Singapore?based financial intelligence firm. It examines the wealth and background of more than 2,300 billionaires and the findings undermine the image of the wealthy as being self?taught self?starters trained in the market.
As well as being much more likely to be graduates, a quarter have postgraduate degrees and more than one in 10 has a doctorate(博士学位)．
This map of wealth also shows that these dollar billionaires are likely to have attended some of the traditionally best?known universities.
The top 20 for universities producing billionaires is dominated by famous U．S. institutions, which take 16 of the places. The University of Pennsylvania has produced more than any other institution followed by Harvard, Yale, the University of Southern California, Princeton, Cornell and Stanford.
And the most likely way of making money is by dealing in money with billionaires mostly making their fortunes through finance, banking and investment.
But there are also some indications that the geography of the super?rich is changing. Reflecting India’s growing economy, the University of Mumbai is in ninth place in the league table. The only U．K. university in this wealth list is the London School of Economics, in 10th place, with no place for Oxford or Cambridge.
But the dominance of the U．S. universities is not simply about the U．S. producing more billionaires. More than a quarter of the billionaires who attended U．S. universities to take undergraduate degrees are from other countries.
语篇导读 世界上的顶级富豪们，学历水平是怎样的？多数自学成才白手起家？本文给出了答案。
5．How many billionaires surveyed have a university degree according to the census?
A．About 766． B．About 1,533.
C．About 1,725． D．About 2,300.
解析 B 数字计算题。根据第二、三段可知，这项统计共覆盖了2 300多名亿万富翁，其中三分之二的人拥有大学学位，2 300×2/3≈1 533，故选B项。
6．The underlined word “undermine” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”．
A．to make something better
B．to make something deeper
C．to make something less strong
D．to make something more interesting
解析 C 词义猜测题。根据该统计可知，三分之二的亿万富翁拥有大学学位，这一结果应该会“削弱”人们对于亿万富翁自学成才和白手起家形象的认识，故选C项。
7．What do we learn from the census?
A．No Asian universities are in top 10 list.
B．A quarter of these billionaires have a doctorate.
C．U.S. universities make up 80 percent of the top 20 list.
D．Most billionaires who attended U．S. universities were from abroad.
解析 C 细节理解题。根据第六段第一句可知，在产生亿万富翁大学排行榜前20名中，美国大学占了16席，故选C项。
8．Which would be the best title for the text?
A．Where Do Billionaires Go to University?
B．How Do Universities Produce Billionaires?
C．Why Do Billionaires Get Higher Education?
D．What Makes Billionaires Successful?
解析 A 标题归纳题。本文主要介绍了一项关于亿万富翁教育背景的统计调查，重点介绍了产生亿万富翁大学排行榜，也就是他们都上哪些大学，故选A项。

语篇导读 本文介绍了中国制衣业形象在国际上转变的原因及其现状。
1．feeling 解析 考查非谓语动词。句中已有谓语动词，空前无连词，故用非谓语动词形式。Some consumers与feel为逻辑上的主谓关系，故用现在分词形式作伴随状语。
2．which/that 解析 考查引导词。分析句子结构可知，空处引导定语从句并在从句中作主语，先行词是the products，故填which/that。
3．impression 解析 考查词性转换。根据空前的an可知，此处应填impress的名词形式impression。
4．but/yet 解析 考查并列连词。根据空后的has changed可知，此处与上文形成转折关系，故填but或yet。
5．decades 解析 考查名词的数。decade为可数名词，空前没有限定词，故填复数形式decades。
6．to 解析 考查介词。be home to是……的家园/所在地，为固定搭配。
7．best 解析 考查比较等级。根据空前的the和空后表示范围的in the world可知，此处应用最高级作定语修饰mix。
8．make 解析 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。根据上下文可知，此处描述的是客观事实，应用一般现在时；主语为luxury fashion labels，谓语应用复数；make与主语之间为主谓关系，用主动语态，故填make。
9．have produced/have been producing 解析 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。根据so far可知，此处用完成时态；根据语境可知，此处可以表示从过去到现在的动作，并且有可能继续下去，故用现在完成时或现在完成进行时；主语many luxury brands与produce之间为主谓关系，故谓语用复数且用主动语态。
【状元笔记】常与完成时连用的时间状语
“already, yet, ever, up to now, recently, so far, in the last/past＋时间段，since＋时间点，for＋时间段”都是完成时态的标志。
10．relatively 解析 考查词性转换。空处作状语修饰形容词low，故填副词relatively。
