Is It Appropriate for College Students to Rent Apartments Outside Campus?
Nowadays, many university students do not like to live in a dorm in the campus, but choose to rent apartments outside. If we want to know whether it is appropriate to do so, we should analyze its advantages and disadvantages.
The advantages of living outside campus are obvious. Students who live outside can enjoy more freedom and have more independence. For senior students, they may also have more opportunities for jobs. But there are also many disadvantages. For instance, they may have less time to know other students, they have to spend time traveling forth and back, their life may be less interesting, and it is obviously more expensive and less safe to live outside.
Considering the advantages and disadvantages, I think students should decide according to their own situations. If they want to save money and have more time to study and more contacts with other students, it is better for them to live inside the campus. But if they value freedom and independence more than anything else and do not have to worry about the costs, it is also appropriate for them to rent a room or an apartment outside the campus. Whatever they decide, their decisions should be appropriate for themselves.

Everyone is looking for a good investment these days. And with stocks, currencies and companies all crashing, some are finding that taking the trip of a lifetime is actually a smart move right now. Prices are good, crowds are fewer and the dividends like expanded worldview, lifelong memories, and the satisfaction of boosting the global economy—can't be easily snatched away. Sylvia and Paul Custer son, a retired couple from Cambridge, England, recently took a 16-day vacation to Namibia, where they went on bird-watching excursions. Later this year, they are planning a trip to Patagonia. "We're using our capital now," says Sylvia, "And why not? We're not getting any interest in the bank. If it's a place we really want to go, then we will go. We may as well travel while we're fit and healthy. "
Some travel agents are thriving in spite of the economy. "We've had more people booking in the first quarter of this year than last," says Hubert Moniteau, founder of Solana Travel, which is planning to introduce a new program of longer adventure trips, including polar expeditions and cruises in the Gal?pagos. "We're hearing things like, 'We don't know what the situation will be in six months so let's travel now' ", Ashley Tuft, managing director of the U. K. tour operator Explore has been surprised to see an increase in last-minute bookings of high-priced trips to such places as India, Bhutan and Nepal. "It seems people would rather give up something else than the big trip," he says. Travel has become a necessity. It's just how we travel that is changing.

Somehow the old male and female stereotypes no longer fit. Men and women in this country haven't been fulfilling their traditional roles for some time now. And there seem to be fewer and fewer differences between the sexes. For instance, even though more women than men are still homemakers without paying jobs, women have been taking over more responsibility in the business world, earning higher salaries than ever before and entering fields of work that used to be exclusively male areas. At office meetings and in group discussions, they might speak up more often, express strong opinions and come up with more creative and practical ideas than their male colleagues. Several days ago, my 23-year-old daughter came to me with some important news. Not only had she found the highest paying job of her career, but she'd also accepted a date with the most charming men she'd ever met.
“Really?” I responded,” tell me about them.”
“Receptionist in an attorney's office and a welder at a construction site.” She answered in a matter-of-fact way. The interesting thing is my daughter's date is the receptionist and my daughter is the welder. The old stereotypes of men's and women's work have been changing more quickly than ever before, except perhaps in my own marriage.
“Who's going to mow the lawn?” I asked my husband this morning.
“Oh, I will,” he answered politely. ”That's men's work.”
“What?” Irritated, I raised my voice. “That's a ridiculous stereotype. I'll show you who can do the best job on the lawn.”
The work took 3 hours and I did it all myself.
Questions 29 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.
29. What is the speaker mainly talking about?

31. Why did the speaker mow the lawn herself that morning?
答案：C) To show that women are capable of doing what men do.

Florence Hayes is a journalist for the Green Ville Journal, the daily newspaper in town. Specifically she covers crime in the Green Ville area. This responsibility takes her too many different places every week——the police station, the court and the hospital. Most of the crimes that she writes about fall into two groups: violent crimes and crimes against property. There isn't much violent crime in a small town like Green Ville, or at least not as much as in the large urban areas. But assaults often occur on Friday and Saturday nights, near the bars downtown. There're also one or two rapes on campus every semester. Florence is very interested in this type of crime and tries to write a long article about each one. She expects that this will make women more careful when they walk around Green Ville alone at night
Fortunately, there were usually no murders in Green Ville. Crimes against property make up most of Miss Heyse' reporting. They range from minor cases of deliberate damaging of things to much more serious offenses, such as car accidents involving drunk drivers or bank robberies but Florence has to report all of these violations from the thief who took typewriters from every unlock room in the dormitory to the thief who stole one million dollars worth of art work from the university museum. Miss Hayes enjoys working for a newspaper but she sometimes gets unhappy about all the crime she has to report. She would prefer to start writing about something more interesting and less unpleasant such as local news or politics, maybe next year

In America, people are faced with more and more decisions every day, whether it's picking one of thirty-one ice cream flavors, or deciding whether and when to get married. That sounds like a great thing, but as a recent study has shown, too many choices can make us confused, unhappy, even paralyzed with indecision. ‘That's particularly true when it comes to the work place', says Barry Schwartz, an author of six books about human behavior. Students are graduating with a variety of skills and interests, but often find themselves overwhelmed when it comes to choosing an ultimate career goal. In a study, Schwartz observed decision-making among college students during their senior year. Based on answers to questions regarding their job hunting strategies and career decisions, he divided the students into two groups：Maximizers, who consider every possible option, and satisfiers who look until they find an option that is good enough. You might expect that the student who had undertaken the most exhausted search would be the most satisfied with their final decision, but it turns out that's not true. Schwartz found that while maximizers ended up with better-paying jobs than satisfiers on average, they weren't as happy with their decision. The reason why these people feel less satisfied is that a world of possibilities may also be a world of missed opportunities. When you look at every possible option, you tend to focus more on what was given up than what was gained. After surveying every option, a person is more acutely aware of the opportunities they had to turn down to pursue just one career.

Section B
Passage one
52. C 觀點判斷題 本題測試對作者觀點的理解，解題時應當根據各段大意判斷。第一段首先介紹了反對學習文科的觀點，然后分析"暢銷技能"的多變性。第二段首先談學 校隻提供"暢銷技能"的危害性，然后談比較好的做法。根據文章的結尾，尤其是最后一句（Learning to learn is one of the highest liberal skills），可知作者贊成文科教育。
53. B 猜測詞義題 問題問第一段中 "fluctuate"是什麼意思。該詞所在句的前一句作者列舉了掌握汽車制造技能現在並不暢銷的例子,這一技能曾經暢銷幾十年並且或許還會暢銷,接著作 者說技能是銷路變化的另一個例子,因為就業市場的變化。聯系上下文語義,即可推知fluctuate是 "無規律變化"之意。
54. A 細節推斷題解題 依據為文章第二段第三句"But if those skills were more than salable...soon enough."其大意為：如果那些技能不僅僅有銷路，如果學習能讓他們更好地了解周圍世界並適應不斷變化的世界，那他考試*大們就沒有被騙。進而作者得 出最后結論"Learning to learn is one of the highest liberal skills.(學會學習是文科最高技能之一。）"由此我們可推知，在失業率高的時候，有獨立學習能力者最可能找到工作。
55. D 細節推論題解題 依據為文章最后一段倒數第四句"Flexibility, and ability to change and learn new things, is a valuable skill."據此我們可推知作者認為學校在設置課程時, 應注重培養學生適應不斷變化的世界的能力和學習新東西的能力, 也就是選項D所述之意。
56. A 推論判斷題 本題可用排除法解題。選項B(教實用技能的學校在困難時期過得更好)文章未提及; 選項C(課外活動比課堂學習更重要)文章也未提及; 選項D(許多學生感到被教育體制所騙)在文章中只是一種假設; 隻有選項A(文科教育正受到挑戰)正是文章討論的話題,作者在最后提及了文科教育應教給學生們什麼,由此可推知A正確。
Passage Two
57. D 細節理解題解題 依據為本文第一段第一、二句"Over the past decade, American companies have tried hard to find ways to discourage senior from feathering their own nests at the expense of their shareholders. The three most popular reforms have been recruiting more outside directors in order to make boards more independent."此句大意為:在過去的十年裡,美國公司力圖尋求方法以阻止資深管理者以犧牲股東利益為代價損公肥私的行為。為此採取了最流行的 三種改革措施，如招錄外來董事以使董事會更加獨立。由此我們可推知招錄外來董事的目的是為了保護股東的利益。其中to feather their own nests意為"構筑自己的窩"﹔at the expense of their shareholders意為"以股東的利益為代價"。
58. A 細節推論題 文章第二段最后一句"the consequences have differed from those intended"表明改革的結果是事與願違，這是一個總的結論。第三、四、五段是具體說明，主要是引用了Westphal的調查結果。因此，本題答案應 當是A。
59. B 詞義判斷題 文章第三段最后講外來董事會的老板們會花很多時間建立聯盟,施惠於個人以討好外來董事,第四段開始接著說這些手段通常是成功的,由此我們可以推 知老板的這些手段是為了爭取外來董事而結成聯盟, 進而可推知B正確。
60. C 細節判斷題 本題可用排除法。選項A(公司高層應拿高薪)文章未提及; 選項B(公司高層的收入與公司增長的利潤成比例)也未提及; 選項D(公司高層的表現比那些股東更會影響其自身利益)文章同樣未提及; 選項C(公司高層傾向於利用其地位肥己)與文章第五段最后一句所述之意相符。
61. A 觀點態度題 縱觀全文,作者所述三項改革舉措並未收到預期的效果,反而適得其反,事與願違,由此我們可判斷作者對其最終的結果顯然持懷疑態度，故正確答案為 A,B選項(樂觀的)、C選項(肯定的)和D選項(贊成的)均排除。
