杭州是浙江省的省会城市的政治、经济和文化中心。杭州历史悠久，是中国著名的七大古都之一。杭州也是著名的旅游城市，被誉为人间天堂(paradise)，意大利旅行家马可?波罗(Macro Polo)曾称赞它为“世界上最美丽华贵之城”。位于市中心的西湖景区以其秀丽的湖光山色和众多的历史遗迹闻名中外。杭州特产众多，其中以丝绸和茶叶最受欢迎。
1.第1句“杭州是......，是......”如依照原文采用并列结构表达为Hangzhou is the capital city of Zhejiang Province,and is...，则稍显平淡，不如将“是浙江省得省会城市”处理成“杭州”的同位语来得简洁和有层次感，译为Hangzhou,the capital city of Zhejiang Province, is...定语“政治、经济和文化”可用介词短语 of politics, economy and culture来表达。
2.第2句“杭州历史悠久，是中国著名的……之一”可用并列结构译为Hangzhouhas a long history and isone of...，但结构较松散，不如将前半句处理为状语，用介词短语With a long history来表达，使译文更有 逻辑性、结构更紧凑。
3.第4句中的“位于市中心的”可处理为地点状语，用分词短语locatedin the center of the city来译出。“以其秀丽的湖光山色和众多的历史遗迹闻名中外”可套用be world-famous for...(以......闻名世界)的结构来表达。“众多的”可用many或numerous来表达。
4.最后一句的主干为“杭州特产众多”，可将其作为主句，其中“特产众多”意即“有众多特产”，因此翻译为Hangzhou boasts numerous special local products。而“其中以丝绸和茶叶最受欢迎”为补充说明“特产 众多”的内容，可用among which引导的非限制性定语从句来表达，译作among which and tea are themost popular。

篇2：6月大学英语六级模预测试题及答案
Section B
Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked [A], [B], [C] and [D]. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the center.
Passage One
Questions 52 to 56 are based on the following passage.
For about three centuries we have been doing science, trying science out, using science for the construction of what we call modern civilization. Every dispensable item of contemporary technology, from canal locks to dial telephones to penicillin, was pieced together from the analysis of data provided by one or another series of scientific experiments. Three hundred years seems a long time for testing a new approach to human inter-living, long enough to set back for critical appraisal of the scientific method, maybe even long enough to vote on whether to go on with it or not. There is an argument.
Voices have been raised in protest since the beginning, rising in pitch and violence in the nineteenth century during the early stages of the industrial revolution, summoning urgent crowds into the streets on the issue of nuclear energy. “Give it back,” say some of the voices, “It doesn't really work, we've tried it and it doesn't work. Go back three hundred years and start again on something else less chancy for the race of man.”
The principle discoveries in this century, taking all in all, are the glimpses of the depth of our ignorance of nature. Things that used to seem clear and rational, and matters of absolute certainty-Newtonian mechanics, for example-have slipped through our fingers; and we are left with a new set of gigantic puzzles, cosmic uncertainties, and ambiguities. Some of the laws of physics are amended every few years; some are canceled outright; some undergo revised versions of legislative intent as if they were acts of Congress.
Just thirty years ago we call it a biological revolution when the fantastic geometry of the DNA molecule was exposed to public view and the linear language of genetics was decoded. For a while, things seemed simple and clear: the cell was a neat little machine, a mechanical device ready for taking to pieces and reassembling, like a tiny watch. But just in the last few years it has become almost unbelievably complex, filled with strange parts whose functions are beyond today's imagining.
It is not just that there is more to do, there is everything to do. What lies ahead, or what can lie ahead if the efforts in basic research are continued, is much more than the conquest of human disease or the improvement of agricultural technology or the cultivation of nutrients in the sea. As we learn more about fundamental processes of living things in general we will learn more about ourselves.
52. What CANNOT be inferred from the first paragraph?
[A] Scientific experiments in the past three hundred years have produced many valuable items.
[B] For three hundred years there have been people holding a hostile attitude toward science.
[C] Modern civilization depends on science so man supports scientific progress unanimously.
[D] Some people think three hundred years is not long enough to set back for critical appraisal of scientific method.
53. The principle discovery in this century shows ________.
[A] man has overthrown Newton's laws of physics
[B] man has solved a new set of gigantic puzzles
[C] man has lost many scientific discoveries
[D] man has given up some of the once accepted theories
54. Now scientists have found in the past few years ________.
[A] the exposure of DNA to the public is unnecessary
[B] the tiny cell in DNA is a neat little machine
[C] man knows nothing about DNA
[D] man has much to learn about DNA
55. The writer's main purpose in writing the passage is to say that ________.
[A] science is just at its beginning
[B] science has greatly improved man's life
[C] science has made profound progress
[D] science has done too little to human beings
56. The writer's attitude towards science is ________.
[A] critical [B] approving [C] neutral [D] regretful
Passage Two
Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.
Here amid the steel and concrete canyons, green grass grows. A hawthorn tree(山楂树) stands in new soil, and freshly dug plants bend in the wind.
But Chicago City Hall here seems an unlikely spot for a garden of any variety―especially 20,000 square feet of gardens―on its roof.
As one of a handful of similar projects around the country, the garden is part of a $1.5 million demonstration projected by the city to reduce its “urban heat islands”, said William Abolt, the commissioner of the Department of Environment.
Heat islands-dark surfaces in the city, like rooftops-soak up heat. The retention can bake a building, making it stubborn to cooling.
The roof of City Hall, a 90-year-old gray stone landmark on LaSalle Street in the heart of downtown, has been known to reach temperature substantially hotter than the actual temperature on the street below.
The garden will provide greenery and shade. “And that,” said the city officials, “will save the city dollars on those blistering summer days.” The project savings from cooling is about $4,000 a year on a new roof whose life span is about 50 percent longer than that of a traditional roof.
The sprawling open-air rooftop garden is being carefully built on a multi-tiered bed of special soil, polystyrene, egg-carton-shaped cones and “waterproof membrane” mall to keep the roof from leaking, or caving under the normal combined weight of soil, rain and plant life.
The design calls for soil depths of 4 inches to 18 inches. When the last plants and seedlings are buried and the last bit of compost is laid, the garden will have circular brick stepping-stones winding up to hills.
“The primary focus of what we want to do was to establish this laboratory on the top of City Hall to get people involved and understanding their impact on the environment and how the little things can make an impact on the quality of life”, Mr. Abolt said, adding that the plants also help to clear the air.
Rooftop gardens, in places where concrete jungles have erased plants and trees, are not new, not even in Chicago. Arms of greenery dangling over terraces or sprouting from rooftops, common in Europe, are becoming more so in the United States as people become increasingly conscious about the environment.
Richard M. Daley, who urged the environmental department to look into the project after noticing rooftop gardens in Hamburg, Germany a few years ago, has praised the garden as the first of its kind on a public building in the country.
It will hold thousands of plants in more than 150 species-wild onion and butterfly weed, sky-blue aster and buffalo grass-to provide data on what species adapt best. Small plants requiring shallow soil depths were chiefly selected.
57. The rooftop garden project ________.
[A] is common and popular in the country
[B] is a demonstration project and costs the city government 1.5 million dollars
[C] will make the ordinary cooling down of the city in summer unnecessary
[D] aims at getting people involved and understanding their impact on the environment
58. What can we learn about the City Hall?
[A] It was built ninety years ago and is the most outstanding feature in the center of the city.
[B] It is originally proper to build a garden on the top of the City Hall.
[C] The temperature on its top is a little bit lower than that on the street below.
[D] It is the first building in America to have a garden on it.
59. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
[A] Every year, Chicago spends about $ 4,000 on cooling the city.
[B] The design of the garden on the City Hall specially takes into consideration the weight the roof can stand.
[C] The Mayor urged the environmental department to look into rooftop gardens in Hamburg and build similar ones in America.
[D] Heat islands mainly refer to those dark-colored rooftops which receive and retain heat and will not easily release the heat.
60. Why should the rooftop garden be built on the top of City Hall other than on any other buildings?
[A] Because the City Hall is large.
[B] Because the mayor had urged the environmental department to do so.
[C] Because it can make people understand their impact on environment better through a public building.
[D] Because the experts just want to make the City Hall a convenient laboratory.
61. The word “substantially” (Line 2, Para. 5) most likely means ________.
[A] a little bit [B] in fact [C] materially [D] considerably

Qipao, an exquisite Chinese clothing, stems from Manchu Nationality in China. In the Qing Dynasty, it was the loose robe for the royal women. In the 1920s, influenced by Western clothing, it went through some changes. For example, the cuffs went narrower, and the dress got shorter. These changes enable Qipao to fully show women’s beauty.
Today, Qipao quite often appears on world-class fashion shows. It is usually the first choice for Chinese women as they attend social parties. Meanwhile, many Chinese brides will select it as their wedding dress. Some influential figures even suggest making it as the national costume for Chinese women.

篇5：6月大学英语六级预测题及答案
Part ⅡReading Comprehension (35 minutes)
Directions:There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D) . You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. ?
Passage 1
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:?
One day in 1935 the management of Britian’s Southern Railway (as it was then called) announced its intention to close the branch line from Lynton to Barnstable in North Devon. The proposal was received by the local inhabitants with angry protest. For them, the tall-chimneyed locomotives and the little flower-bordered stations of Devon had become as much of an institution as the village church or tavern. Moreover, the line ran through the heart of a popular tourist district. What would the holidaymaker do without it? Closing down the railway line had been unthinkable, yet now some busybody official in remote London was threatening to destroy it with a stroke of the pen.?
Mounting local opposition resulted in a meeting at Barnstaple, where the crowed was joined by very vocal protestors from the other end of the line at Lynton.The meeting seemed to be going well for the railway supporters until the chairman p olitely inquired how many people from Lynton had traveled to Barnstaple by train. Out of the embarrassed silence that followed emerged the painful truth that, to a man, those who had come from Lynton to fight for the railway had come by highway. The fate of the Lynton and Barnstaple branch line was sealed.?
This sad little story is typical of the attitude of many Englishmen toward their railways. Dissatisfied with the age of sheet metal, plastics, and reinforced concrete in which we find ourselves, we long more and more for the substantial, self-confident, and inspired products of the Victorian era. Of that age, Britain’s railways are the most eloquent and enduring reminders.?
21.One of the arguments against closing the railway line was that____. ?
A) fewer tourists would come into the area?
B) people from outlying districts would be unable to attend religious services?
C) the economy of the people would suffer greatly?
D) it would be difficult to get from Lynton to Barnstaple?
22.Who objected to the closing of the railway branch line??
A) Barnstaple people only.?
B) Workers of the Southern Railway.?
C) People of both Barnstaple and Lynton. ?
D) The management of the Southern Railway.?
23.What is the author’s reaction to the people who called the town meeting??
A) He is amused by their political efforts. ?
B) He is sympathetic to their cause.?
C) He is encouraged by their success. ?
D) He is critical of their attitudes.?
24.The author seems to think that railways are reminders of the____.?
A) personal concern and solid beauty of a past age?
B) ugliness and oppression that modern society has overcome?
C) benefits that the machine age has brought to man ?
D) growing dislike in England of the Victorian age?
25.The passage suggests that the Southern Railway of Britain is now?
A) controlled by the local people ?
B) in financial difficult?
C) under a different name ?
D) financially sound?
Passage 2
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:?
Federal Reserve System, central banking system of the United States, popularly called the Fed. A central bank serves as the banker to both the banking community and the government; it also issues the national currency, conducts monetary policy, and plays a major role in supervision and regulation of banks and bank holding companies. In the U.S. these functions are the responsibilities of key officials of the Federal Reserve System: the Board of Governors, located in Washington, D.C., and the top officers of the 12 district Federal Reserve banks, located throughout the nation. The Fed’s actions, described below, generally have a significant effect on the U.S. interest rates and, subsequently, on stock, bond, and other financial markets.?
The Federal Reserve’s basic powers are concentrated in the Board of Governors, which is paramount in all policy issues concerning bank regulation and supervision and in most aspects of monetary control. The board enunciates the Fed’s policies on both monetary and banking matters. Because the board is not an operating agency, most of the day-to-day implementation of policies decisions is left to the district Federal Reserve banks, stock in which is owned by the commercial banks that are members of the Federal Reserve System. Ownership in this insance, however, does not imply control; the Board of Governors and the heads of the Reserve banks orient their policies to the public interest rather than to the benefit of the private banking system.?
The U.S. banking system’s regulatory apparatus is complex; the authority of the Federal Reserve is shared in some instances for example, in mergers or the examination of banks with other federal agencies such as the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance Cooperation (FDIC). In the critical area of regulating the nation’s money supply in accordance with national economic goals, however, the Federal Reserve is independent within the government. In come and expenditures of the Federal Reserve banks and of the Board of Governors are not subject to the congressional appropriation process; the Federal Reserve is subject to the congressional appropriation process; the Federal Reserve is self-financing. Its income($20.2 billion in 1992) comes mainly from Reserve bank holdings of income-earning securities, primarily those of the U.S. government. Outlays ($1.5 billion in 1992) are mostly for operational expenses in providing services to the government and for expenditures connected with regulation and monetary policy. In 1992 the Federal Reserve returned $16.8 billion in earnings to the U.S. Treasury.?
26.The Fed of the United States____.?
A) functions as China Bank ?
B) is the counterpart of People’s Bank of China?
C) is subject to the banking community and government?
D) has 13 top officers who can influence the American financial market?
27.The fact that stock in the Fed belongs to commercial banks____.?
A) doesn’t mean the latter is in control ?
B) means the latter is in control?
C) means the latter is subjected to the Reserve banks ?
D) means the Reserve banks orient the latter’s policies?
28.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage??
A) The Fed is a very big, complex and significant system which comprises many local banks.?
B) All the commercial banks are not the components of Federal Reserve System.?
C) Board of Governors is the supreme policy-makers of Federal Reserve System.?
D) District Reserve banks rather than Board of Governors perform the day?to?day policies.?
29.The authority of the Federal Reserve____.?
A) has to be shared with other establishmentsis?
B) is exclusive at other times?
C) isn’t limited by comptroller of the Currency and FDIC?
D) is limited by Board of Governors?
30.Income of the Board of Governors____.?
A) is borrowed from the U.S. Treasury?
B) is used by the government to make various policies?
C) comes from the U.S. Treasury?
D) is not granted by the government?
Passage 3
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:?
The year 1400 opened with more peacefulness than usual in England. Only a few months before Richard Ⅱ weak, wicked, and treacherous had been deposed, and Henry IV declared king in his stead. But it was only a seeming peacefulness, lasting for but a little while; for though King Henry proved himself a just and a merciful man,as justice and mercy went with the men of iron of those days――and though he did not care to shed blood needlessly, there were many noble families who had been benefited by King Richard during his reign, and who had lost somewhat of their power and prestige from the coming in of the new king.?
Among these were a number of great lords who had been degraded from their formertitles and estates, from which degradation King Richard had lifted them. They planned to fall upon King Henry and his followers and to massacre them during a g reat tournament which was being held at Oxford. And they might have succeeded had not one of their own members betrayed them. ?
But Henry did not appear at the lists; whereupon, knowing that he had been lodging at Widnsor with only a few attendants, the conspirators marched there against him. In the meantime, the king had been warned of the plot, so that instead of finding him in the royal castle, they discovered through their scouts that he had hurried to London, and that he was marching against them at the head of a considerable army. So nothing was left but flight. One and another, they were all caught and some killed. Those few who found friends faithful and bold enough to afford them shelter dragged those friends down in their own ruin.?
31.What does the author seem to think of King Henry ??
A) He was the best king England had ever had.?
B) He was a better ruler than King Richard.?
C) He was unfair and cowardly.?
D) He was just as evil as King Richard.?

C) Henry had needlessly killed members of their families.?
D) Henry had killed King Richard.?
34.It can be inferred that Richard II’s reign was____.?
A) peacefulB) corruptC) democraticD) illegal?
35.The main purpose of the passage is to____.?
A) prove that Richard II was a bad king ?
B) explain the customs of fifteenth-century England?
C) describe some typical English kings?
D)discuss the conspiracy against Henry IV
Passage 4
Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:?
“I have considered the structure of all volant animals, and find the folding continuity of the bat’s wings most easily accommodated to the human form. Upon this model I shall begin my task tomorrow, and in a year expect to tower into the air beyond the malice or pursuit of man. But I will work only on this condition, that the art shall not be divulged, and that you shall not require me to make wings for any but ourselves.”?
“Why,” said Rasselas.“should you envy others so great an advantage? All skill ought to be exerted for universal good; every man has owed much to others, and ought to repay the kindness that he has received.” “If men were all virtuous,” returned the artist.“I should with great alacrity teach them all to fly. But, what would be the security of the good, if the bad could at pleasure invade them from the sky? Against an army sailing through the clouds neither wall, nor mountains, nor seas, could afford any security. A flight of northern savages might hover in the wind, and light at once with irresistible violence upon the capital of a fruitful region that was rolling under them. Even this valley, the retreat of princes, the abode of happiness, might be violated by the sudden descent of some of the naked nations that swarm on the coast of the southern sea.”?

The Importance of Asking Questions
Nowadays, it is common to see that people are active in showing their understanding of things. But when it comes to something that they are not familiar with, seldom do they reveal the ignorance. In fact, they are just afraid of looking like fools.
As far as I am concerned, coming up with a question is not necessarily a negative sign. To begin with, people don't have a question when they don't study at all, which means they are not thinking and just letting the days slip by. Another case is that people are actually pondering over some questions that they cannot find answers on their own. However, they choose to keep these questions in the dark for fear that someone else might know their weak points. In this way, they lose the motivation to think about and put forward questions day by day.
In brief, there is no need to hold back from asking questions. Just as the saying goes, “He who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask remains a fool forever.”

参考范文：
Being Cautious about Online Comments and Speech
As is shown in the carton, people are often aroused with the feeling of anger or sympathy in this new media age when abundant information just swells within sight. The picture vividly reveals that modern people tend to receive and believe what they get from the media and then react to it directly.
From my perspective, one should think twice upon receiving online comments and speech. To start with, online information could be ungrounded and fictitious just to impress and catch attention. For instance, rumors go around that a celebrity couple is expecting a baby. What's more, reports online could be one-sided, that is to say, they are providing incomplete information and seeing things from one angle. In this way, it is hard for the audience to judge right from wrong, especially when the public opinions lean towards one side.
As an old saying goes, “Better don't read if you believe everything you read.” Likewise, one should make his own judgement based on real facts and experience in the era of information explosion.

Is Becoming Rich the Only Goal of Life?
As the saying goes, “Money makes the mare go.” Living in the contemporary society, more and more people are becoming money-oriented whether voluntarily or reluctantly. Sometimes, they should be reminded that becoming rich is not the only purpose of life.
If one spends all his life pursuing nothing but money, he might live in a big house and drive a luxury car when he gets old. However, a person's material need is within limits. One cannot live in two houses and drive two cars at the same time. Neither should one take in two persons' amount of food. Besides, people's desire and ambition to make money could be infinite. More of money doesn't always make us happier. More of Money tends to make us used to that money and desirous of having even more of that.
Therefore, we should look around and find other goals of life. For example, one can live a meaningful life by discovering his gift and making the best of it. One can also live a happy life by making more friends and building a joyful family.

Is College Really Worth the Money?
The Real World
Este Griffith had it all figured out. When she graduated from the University of Pittsburgh in April , she had her sights set on one thing: working for a labor union.
The real world had other ideas. Griffith left school with not only a degree, but a boatload of debt. She owed $15,000 in student loans and had racked up $4,000 in credit card debt for books, groceries and other expenses. No labor union job could pay enough to bail her out.
So Griffith went to work instead for a Washington, D.C. firm that specializes in economic development. Problem solved? Nope. At age 24, she takes home about $1,800 a month, $1,200 of which disappears to pay her rent. Add another $180 a month to retire her student loans and $300 a month to whittle down her credit card balance. “You do the math,” she says.
Griffith has practically no money to live on. She brown-bags(自带午餐)her lunch and bikes to work. Above all, she fears she'll never own a house or be able to retire. It's not that she regrets getting her degree. “But they don't tell you that the trade-off is the next ten years of your income,” she says.
That's precisely the deal being made by more and more college students. They're mortgaging their futures to meet soaring tuition costs and other college expenses. Like Griffith, they're facing a one-two punch at graduation: hefty(深重的)student loans and smothering credit card debt―not to mention a job market that, for now anyway, is dismal.
“We are forcing our children to make a choice between two evils,” says Elizabeth Warren, a Harvard Law professor and expert on bankruptcy. “Skip college and face a life of diminished opportunity. or go to college and face a life shackled(束缚)by debt.”
Tuition Hikes
For some time, colleges have insisted their steep tuition hikes are needed to pay for cutting-edge technologies, faculty and administration salaries, and rising health care costs. Now there's a new culprit(犯人): shrinking state support. Caught in a severe budget crunch, many states have sharply scaled back their funding for higher education.
Someone had to make up for those lost dollars. And you can guess who―especially if you live in Massachusetts, which last year hiked its tuition and fees by 24 percent, after funding dropped by 3 percent, or in Missouri, where appropriations(拨款)fell by 10 percent, but tuition rose at double that rate. About one-third of the states, in fact, have increased tuition and fees by more than 10 percent.
One of those states is California, and Janet Burrell's family is feeling the pain. A bookkeeper in Torrance, Burrell has a daughter at the University of California at Davis Meanwhile, her sons attend two-year colleges because Burrell can't afford to have all of them in four-year schools at once.
Meanwhile, even with tuition hikes, California's community colleges are so strapped for cash they dropped thousands of classes last spring. The result: 54,000 fewer students.
Collapsing Investments
Many families thought they had a surefire plan: even if tuition kept skyrocketing, they had invested enough money along the way to meet the costs. Then a funny thing happened on the way to Wall Street. Those investments collapsed with the stock market. Among the losers last year: the wildly popular “529” plans―federal tax-exempt college savings plans offered by individual states, which have attracted billions from families around the country. “We hear from many parents that what they had set aside declined in value so much that they now don't have enough to see their students through,” says Penn State financial aid director Anna Griswold, who witnessed a 10 percent increase in loan applications last year. Even with a market that may be slowly recovering, it will take time, perhaps several years, for people to recoup(补偿)their losses.
Nadine Sayegh is among those who didn't have the luxury of waiting for her college nest egg to grow back. Her father had invested money toward her tuition, but a large chunk of it vanished when stocks went south. Nadine was then only partway through college. By graduation, she had taken out at least $10,000 in loans, and her mother had borrowed even more on her behalf. Now 22, Nadine is attending law school, having signed for yet more loans to pay for that. “There wasn't any way to do it differently,” she says, “and I'm not happy about it. I've sat down and calculated how long it will take me to pay off everything. I'll be 35 years old.” That's if she's very lucky: Nadine based her calculation on landing a job right out of law school that will pay her at least $120,000 a year.
Dependent on Loans and Credit Cards
The American Council on Education has its own calculation that shows how students are more and more dependent on loans. In just five years, from 1995 to , the median loan debt at public institutions rose from $10,342 to $15,375. Most of this comes from federal loans, which Congress made more tempting in 1992 by expanding eligibility (home equity no longer counts against your assets) and raising loan limits (a dependent undergraduate can now borrow up to $23,000 from the federal government).
But students aren't stopping there. The College Board estimates that they also borrowed $4.5 billion from private lenders in the 2000-2001 academic year, up from $1.5 billion just five years earlier.
For lots of students, the worst of it isn't even the weight of those direct student loans. It's what they rack up on all those plastic cards in their wallets. As of two years ago, according to a study by lender Nellie Mae, more than eight out of ten undergrads had their own credit cards, with the typical student carrying four. That's no big surprise, given the in-your-face marketing by credit card companies, which set up tables on campus to entice(诱惑)students to sign up. Some colleges ban or restrict this hawking, but others give it a boost. You know those credit cards emblazoned with a school's picture or its logo? For sanctioning such a card―a must-have for some students―a college department or association gets payments from the issuer. Meanwhile, from freshman year to graduation, according to the Nellie Mae study, students triple the number of credit cards they own and double their debt on them. As of 2001, they were in the hole an average $2,327.
A Wise Choice?
One day, Moyer sat down with his mother, Janne O'Donnell, to talk about his goal of going to law school. Don't count on it, O'Donnell told him. She couldn't afford the cost and Moyer doubted he could get a loan, given how much he owed already. “He said he felt like a failure,” O'Donnell recalls. “He didn't know how he had gotten into such a mess.”
A week later, the 22-year-old hanged himself in his bedroom, where his mother found him. O'Donnell is convinced the money pressures caused his suicide. “Sean tried to pay his debts off,” she says. “And he couldn't take it.”
To be sure, suicides are exceedingly rare. But despair is common, and it sometimes leads students to rethink whether college was worth it. In fact, there are quite a few jobs that don't require a college degree, yet pay fairly well. On average, though, college graduates can expect to earn 80 percent more than those with only a high school diploma. Also, all but two of the 50 highest paying jobs (the exceptions being air traffic controllers and nuclear power reactor operators) require a four-year college degree. So foregoing a college education is often not a wise choice.
Merit Mikhail, who graduated last June from the University of California, Riverside, is glad she borrowed to get through school. But she left Riverside owing $20,000 in student loans and another $7,000 in credit card debt. Now in law school, Merit hopes to become a public-interest attorney, yet she may have to postpone that goal, which bothers her. To handle her debt, she'll probably need to start with a more lucrative(有利的)legal job.
Like so many other students. Mikhail took out her loans on a kind of blind faith that she could deal with the consequences. “You say to yourself, 'I have to go into debt to make it work, and whatever it takes later, I'll manage.'” Later has now arrived, and Mikhail is finding out the true cost of her college degree.
1. Griffith worked for a firm that specialized in economic development in Washington D.C. because she needed money to pay for her debt.
2. The only problem the students are facing at graduation is the dismal job market.
3. One reason why colleges increase tuition and fees is that the state support is shrinking.
4. Nearly all the families can manage to meet the soaring tuition costs through various investment plans.
5. According to Nadine's calculation, she can pay off all her debt when she is ________ if she can get a salary of $120,000 a year right out of law school.
6. Students get money from not only federal loans but also ________.
7. The college department or association can get payments from the issuer if it sanctions credit cards decorated with ________.
8. O'Donnell thinks that the cause of her 22-year-old son's suicide is ________.
9. The author says that foregoing a college education is often not a wise choice because ________ of the 50 highest paying jobs require a four-year college degree except for air traffic controllers and nuclear power reactor operators.
10. Merit will have to start with a more lucrative legal job instead of her favorite position―a public-interest attorney because she has to ________.
Part IV Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth) (25 minutes)
Section A
Directions: In this section, there is a short passage with 5 questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words on Answer Sheet 2.
Questions 47 to 51 are based on the following passage.
Scientists say they have high hopes for a drug that could one day provide a new form of treatment for HIV-AIDS. A compound, which interferes with an elusive protein used by the HIV virus to infect human cells, has worked extremely well in monkeys. If the drug proves effective in human trials, scientists say, it could bolster(加强)the effectiveness of two existing AIDS drugs, particularly in fighting drug-resistant strains of the virus.
Researchers at the pharmaceutical(制药的)company Merck are very excited about an experimental drug, which has worked as well in monkeys infected with a primate version of the virus as any of the existing anti-AIDS drugs.
It works by blocking one of three proteins, or enzymes, the HIV virus uses to gain entrance into and infect human immune system cells.
Inhibitor drugs have been developed to block two of the proteins, to slow progression of the disease after infection. They have become standard therapy as a “cocktail” for people infected with HIV.
Those enzymes are reverse transcriptase (转录酶)and protease(蛋白酶). The first converts the virus' genetic material into that of its host cells. The second chops up the resulting larger proteins into smaller pieces, producing smaller viral particles that infect new cells.
The third prong of cellular attack is a protein called integrase(整合酶), which experts say has been harder to block. Once HIV fools host cells by changing its genetic information so it can enter them, integrase acts like a cut and paste operation in a word processor, deleting an immune cell's genetic material and replacing it with its own.
An integrase inhibitor would give doctors a third line of attack against HIV infection, according to virologist Daria Hazuda of the division of Virus and Cell Biology at Merck.
“This would offer a third class of anti-retroviral medications that can be combined with reverse transcriptase inhibitors and protease inhibitors. And since it is a new mechanism of action, these compounds are active against multi-drug resistant variants. So variants that are resistant to all current therapies have been selected in HIV-patients,” she said.
Current anti-AIDS drugs eventually become resistant to therapy, or stop working, because the virus changes its shape.
While researchers are encouraged by the success with the compound's effectiveness in monkey trials, developing a drug that is equally effective in humans can be difficult.
Steven Young is executive director of the Department of Medicinal Chemistry at Merck. He says, if scientists find a compound that is equally effective in people, the company would ask U.S. regulators to speed approval of the drug.
“Yeah, I really think that's what we're hoping for,” he said. “I mean, we need to get data that show it has robust anti-viral effects in people. And if we're able to get that data, I think we would petition for fast track status.”
Dr. Young says an integrase inhibitor has the potential to prevent drug resistance.
“To ensure our best chance of preventing resistance, we would give this as part of a cocktail therapy,” he added. “And I think it's really our plan that we would test this with reverse transcriptase inhibitors and protease inhibitors, as well.”
47. If the drug proves effective in human trials, it could enhance the effectiveness of existing AIDS drugs in ________.
48. What has become standard cocktail therapy?
49. While integrase deletes an immune cell's genetic material and replaces it with its own, it acts like ________ in a word processor.
50. Why would anti-AIDS drugs stop working?
51. According to Steven Young, if scientists get the data that ________, they would petition for fast track status.
Section B
Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked [A], [B], [C] and [D]. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the center.
Passage One
Questions 52 to 56 are based on the following passage.
Occasional self-medication has always been part of normal living. The making and selling of drugs have a long history and are closely linked, like medical practice itself, with the belief in magic. Only during the last hundred years or so has the development of scientific techniques made it possible for some of the causes of symptoms to be understood, so that more accurate diagnosis has become possible. The doctor is now able to follow up the correct diagnosis of many illnesses with specific treatment of their causes. In many other illnesses, of which the causes remain unknown, it is still limited, like the unqualified prescriber, to the treatment of symptoms. The doctor is trained to decide when to treat symptoms only and when to attack the cause: this is the essential difference between medical prescribing and self-medication.
The advance of technology has brought about much progress in some fields of medicine, including the development of scientific drug therapy. In many countries public health organization is improving and people's nutritional standards have risen. Parallel with such beneficial trends have two adverse effects. One is the use of high-pressure advertising by the pharmaceutical industry, which has tended to influence both patients and doctors and has led to the overuse of drugs generally. The other is the emergence of the sedentary society with its faulty ways of life: lack of exercise, over-eating, unsuitable eating, insufficient sleep, excessive smoking and drinking. People with disorders arising from faulty habits such as these, as well as from unhappy human relationships, often resort to self-medication and so add the taking of pharmaceuticals to the list. Advertisers go to great lengths to catch this market.
Clever advertising, aimed at chronic sufferers who will try anything because doctors have not been able to cure them, can induce such faith in a preparation, particularly if steeply priced, that it will produce―by suggestion―a very real effect in some people. Advertisements are also aimed at people suffering from mild complaints such as simple colds and coughs, which clear up by themselves within a short time.
These are the main reasons why laxatives, indigestion remedies, painkillers, tonics, vitamin and iron tablets and many other preparations are found in quantity in many households. It is doubtful whether taking these things ever improves a person's health; it may even make it worse. Worse because the preparation may contain unsuitable ingredients; worse because the taker may become dependent on them; worse because they might be taken in excess; worse because they may cause poisoning, and worse of all because symptoms of some serious underlying cause may be masked and therefore medical help may not be sought.
52. The first paragraph is intended to ________.
[A] suggest that self-medication has a long history
[B] define what diagnosis means exactly
[C] praise doctors for their expertise
[D] tell the symptoms from the causes
53. Advertisements are aimed at people suffering from mild complaints because ________.
[A] they often watch ads on TV
[B] they are more likely to buy the drugs advertised
[C] they generally lead a sedentary life
[D] they don't take to sports and easily catch colds
54. Paragraphs 2 and 3 explain ________.
[A] those good things are not without side effects
[B] why clever advertising is so powerful
[C] why in modern times self-medication is still practised
[D] why people develop faulty ways of life
55. The author tells us in paragraph 4 ________.
[A] the reasons for keeping medicines at home
[B] people's doubt about taking drugs
[C] what kind of medicine people should prepare at home
[D] the possible harms self-medication may do to people
56. The best title for the passage would be ________.
[A] Medical Practice [B] Clever Advertising
[C] Self-Medication [D] Self-Treatment
