第3题：

The Cost of Higher Education

Individuals (个人) should pay for their higher education.

A university education is of huge and direct benefit to the individual. Graduates earn more than non-graduates. Meanwhile, social mobility is ever more dependent on having a degree. However, only some people have it. So the individual, not the taxpayers, should pay for it. There are pressing calls on the resources (资源) of the government. Using taxpayers' money to help a small number of people to earn high incomes in the future is not one of them.

Full government funding (资助) is not very good for universities. Adam Smith worked in a Scottish university whose teachers lived off student fees. He knew and looked down upon 18th-century Oxford, where the academics lived comfortably off the income received from the government. Guaranteed salaries, Smith argued, were the enemy of hard work; and when the academics were lazy and incompetent, the students were similarly lazy.

If students have to pay for their education, they not only work harder, but also demand more from their teachers. And their teachers have to keep them satisfied. If that means taking teaching seriously, and giving less time to their own research interests, that is surely something to celebrate.

Many people believe that higher education should be free because it is good for the economy (经济). Many graduates clearly do contribute to national wealth, but so do all the businesses that invest (投资) and create jobs. If you believe that the government should pay for higher education because graduates are economically productive, you should also believe that the government should pay part of business costs. Anyone promising to create jobs should receive a gift of capital from the government to invest. Therefore, it is the individual, not the government, who should pay for their university education.

68. The underlined word "them" in Paragraph 2 refers to

A. taxpayers

B. pressing calls

C. college graduates

D. government resources

正确答案：B

第4题：

As recently as three decades ago,many Americans believed that using credit was an unwise and?dangerous way to pay for what they bought．Some even thought that owing money to a store or a?credit company was something to be ashamed of．Good citizens,they believed,always bought what?they wanted with real money and they paid the full price immediately．
Today,however,all that has changed．Credit,as some observers have noted,has become a?way of life in the United States．More and more Americans now are depending on those small pieces?of plastic,credit cards,to pay for large purchases such as televisions,record players or furniture．Many people today would consider it unusual not to use a credit card to pay for a costly restaurant?dinner,a hotel room or an airline trip．And there are some situations in which Americans must have?credit cards．If they want the temporary use of a car,for example,they first must give the car rental?company the number of their credit card．That number is considered a guarantee that they will return?the car and pay for using it．
Credit cards offer two major services to Americans．First of all,they are easier and safer to?carry than large amounts of money．Second,they permit people to borrow,to have the immediate?pleasure of owning something,even if they do not have enough money to pay for it at the time．With?credit cards people pay for goods or services at the end of each month instead of when they buy them．And when the time does come to pay,most credit cards offer people a choice．They can pay all of?what they owe for the month or they can just pay usually between 5 and 10 percent of what they owe．

Why does the car rental company ask for the credit card number?

A.To prevent the overuse of the car．
B.To make sure that the car won't be damaged．
C.To make sure the user return the car and pay for using it．
D.To ensure that the car is safely and timely returned．

第6题：

Text 1 From West Virginia to Arizona,public-school teachers are in revolt.They are demanding better pay,and they deserve it-so long as their salaries are tied to their performance.It's not that U.S.teachers are underpaid;the median income for the country's l million high-school teachers,for example,is more than 50 percent higher than that of the general population.But relative to peers with similar levels of education,teachers are falling behind.In 1994,public-school teachers made only 2 percent less than college graduates in other fields;by 2015,the gap was 17 percent.Cuts in state education budgets have made the problem WOfse.In more than half of the country,aftcr adjusting for inflation,average teacher salaries have declined since the start of the century.In West Virginia,where pay has dropped by 8.9 percent since 2000,teachers went on strike in late February,forcing Iawmakers to pass a 5 percent pay increase for the next school year,Teachers'unions in Arizona,Oklahoma and Kentucky plan similar walkouts if their demands aren't met.To avoid such an outcome-which hurts students the most-both sides need to compromise.Teachers shouldn't have to work second and third jobs to make ends meet,as many say they do,even in states with low are fiercely defended by teachers'uuions.But they reduce the funds available for other priorities-like encouraging teachers to relocate to rural and low-income districts and addressing shortages of teachers in STEM subjects.Across-the-board pay increases for teachers may go some way toward improving student performance,but not far enough.Despite opposition from unions,school districts in at least 30 states have introduced performance-based bonuses for teachers.In schools where teacher pay is tied to student performance,test scores have nsen by the equivalent of three additional weeks oflearning.Districts with merit pay are better able to hire strong entry-level candidates and prevent high-performing teachers from leaving.Intemational comparisons bear out a basic,if self-evident,truth:how well students perform depends on how well they're taught.The U.S.should pay its teachers more-and give the best ones incentives to show how much they're worth.24.Performance-based pay has the following advantages except

A.better performance of students.
B.higher quality of teachers.
C.keeping excellent teachers staying.
D.improving teacher's research standard.

答案：D

解析：

事实细节题。根据题干关键词，对应文章第六段。Performance-based pay是merit pay的同义表达，第六段后两句大意为，在教师薪酬与学生表现挂钩的学校，学生考试成绩提高了。有绩效工资的地区能够更好地雇用有能力的初级教师，并防止表现优异的教师离开。A项、B项和C项与这两句所表达的意思一致；D项属于无关干扰，故D项为正确答案。【干扰排除】根据以上分析可知，A项、B项和C项所述内容与原文相符，都是绩效工资的优点，故排除。

第7题：

Ina trade conflict more people will pay higher prices and more people will lose jobs becauseof these tariffs____will be gained.

A、than
B、that
C、what
D、as

答案：B

解析：

本题考查定语从句。从语法结构上分析，题千的主谓宾完整, becauseof 后接名词，作原因状语。所以“_willbe. gained"只能做定语修饰先行词trifti.又知定语从句中缺少主语，所以能引导定语从句并且能充当定从的主语，选that.从语义上讲:在贸易争端中，(被)收取这些关税，将使更多的人付出更大的代价，也导致更多的人失业。符合题意。故本题选B.
