A
The U.S. Department of Labor statistics show that there is an oversupply of college trained workers and that this oversupply is increasing. Already there have been more than enough teachers, engineers, physicists, aerospace experts, and other specialists. Yet colleges and graduate schools continue every year to turn out highly trained people to compete for jobs that aren’t there. The result is that graduates cannot enter the professions for which they were trained and must take temporary jobs which do not require a college degree.
On the other hand, there is a great need for skilled workers of all sorts: carpenters, electricians, mechanics, plumbers, TV repairmen. These people have more work than they can deal with, and their annual incomes are often higher than those of college graduates. The old gap that white —collar workers make a better living than blue collar workers no longer holds true. The law of supply and demand now favors the skilled workmen.
The reason for this situation is the traditional myth that college degree is a passport to a prosperous future. A large part of American society matches success in life equally with a college degree. Parents begin indoctrinating their children with this myth before they are out of grade school. High school teachers play their part by acting as if high school education were a preparation for college rather than for life. Under this pressure the kids fall in line. Whether they want to go to college or not doesn’t matter. Everybody should go to college, so of course they must go. And every year college enrollments go up and up, and more and more graduates are overeducated for the kinds of jobs available to them.
One result of this emphasis on a college education is that many people go to college who do not belong there. Of the sixty percent of high school graduates who enter college, half of them do not graduate with their class. Many of them drop out within the first year. Some struggle on for two or three years and then give up.
36. It’s implied but not stated in the passage that _______.
A. many other countries are facing the same problem
B. white-collar workers in the US used to make more money than blue-collar workers
C. fewer students will prefer to go to college in the future
D. the law of supply and demand has a strong effect on American higher education
37. Which of the following is NOT a reason why college enrollments go up every year?
A. Many people believe that the only way to success is a college education.
B. Many parents want their children to go to college.
C. High school teachers urge their students to go to college.
D. Every young man and woman wants to go to college.
38. By saying that “many people go to college who do not belong there”, the author means that _______.
A. many people who are not fit for college education go to college
B. many people who do not have enough money go to college
C. many people who go to college drop out within the first year
D. many people who go to college have their hopes destroyed
39. We can infer from the passage that the author believes that _______.
A. every young man and woman should go to college
B. college education is a bad thing
C. people with a college education should receive higher pay
D. fewer people should go to college while more should be trained for skilled jobs
B
There aren’t many nursery rhymes(儿歌) about astronomy. But “twinkle twinkle little star” makes a useful point. We can tell which lights in the night sky are stars because they appear to twinkle. Planets, ____________, don’t, they shine steadily in the sky.
Stars twinkle because they are very far away, and so appear as tiny points of light in our night sky. Some of this light is absorbed by moving air in the Earth’s atmosphere, making the star appear to sparkle.
Planets, like Saturn or Jupiter, don’t sparkle. This is because they are a lot closer to the Earth and so they look bigger in our sky than stars.
Rather than being points of light, planets are small discs. As their light is more spread out, even if some of it is absorbed by our atmosphere, some of the light still filters(透过)through, so the planet doesn’t twinkle. This means that you can tell the difference between a planet and a star without even needing a telescope, just by seeing if it twinkles!
Weighing a star
As for “wondering what they are”, starlight also contains an extraordinary amount of information that can answer that very question.
Weighing a star isn’t as difficult as it sounds as you don’t need a huge set of cosmic scales(天平), just one equation. The more massive a star is, the more energy it gives off. So first of all, astronomers measure the star’s “luminosity”(发光度), the rate at which it gives out energy. Then they can work out its mass.
40. What’s the first part mainly about (Please answer within 10 words.)
______________________________________________________________________________.
41. Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one
You can weigh a star easily just using an equation.
______________________________________________________________________________.
42. Please fill in the blank in the first paragraph with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence. (Please answer within 5 words.)
______________________________________________________________________________.
43. Why doesn’t the planet twinkle (Please answer within 30 words.)
______________________________________________________________________________.
44. Please translate the underlined sentences in the second paragraph into Chinese.

19.C B、D所指范围较小,不能概全;A不合习惯说法。
20.B 从and that they must also…中可得到暗示。
21.D 另三个动词后接不定式作宾补时,须带to。

37. D 细节题。根据 Whether they want to go to college or not doesn’t matter. Everybody should go to college, so of course they must go 可知上大学不是出于学生本意,而是出于父母及学校等方面的压力,可见 D 不是大学入学人数增加的原因。
38. A 推断题。 根据最后一段 Of the sixty percent of high school graduates who enter college, half of them do not graduate with their class. Many of them drop out within the first year. Some struggle on for two or three years and then give up 可知作者列举了三种情况,说明有些人不适合大学教育,故选A。
39. D 推断题。阅读全文可知作者通过调查告诉人们大学教育人才过多,而技术工人又非常缺乏,因而待遇反而更高;接着又分析了造成这种状况的传统观念;最后还谈到了很多上了大学却因种种原因无法完成学业,所有这些都在暗示人们上大学的人应该减少,而参加技术工作培训的人应该增多,故选D。
