About35%ofallhighschoolgraduatesinAmericacontinuetheireducationinaninstitutionofhigherlear

About 35% of all high school graduates in America continue their education in an institution of higher learning. The

word college is used to refer to either a college or a university. These institutions offer four-year programs that lead to a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or Bachelor Science (B.S.) degree. Some students attend a

junior college (providing only a two-year program) for one to two years before entering a four-year college as a

sophomore (二年级生) or junior (三年级生).

It is generally easier to be accepted at a state university than at a private one. Most private schools require strict

entrance examinations and a high grade point average (GPA), as well as specific college prep classes in high school.

Private schools cost considerably more than state colleges and famous private schools are very expensive. Poorer

students can sometimes attend, however, by earning scholarships. Some college graduates go on to earn advanced

masters or doctoral degrees in grad (graduate) school. Occupations in certain fields such as law or medicine require

such advanced studies.

Since college costs are very high, most students work at part-time jobs. Some have full-time jobs and go to school

part-time. Often some will take five or more years to complete a four-year program because of money / job demands

on their time.

While the college and work demands take up the great part of a student’s time, most still enjoy social activities. Sports,

dances, clubs, movies, and plays are all very popular. However, gathering together for long, philosophical talks at a

favorite meeting place on or near the university is probably the most popular activity.

College education is _______ in America.

A. quite common

B. very rare

C. something difficult

D. almost impossible

Washington Irving was America's first man of letters to be known internationally. His work

s were received enthusiastically both in England and in the United States. He was, in fact, one of the most successful writers of his time in either country, delighting a large general public and at the same time winning the admiration of fellow writers like Scott in Britain and Poe and Hawthorne in the United States. The respect in which he was held was partly owing to the man himself, with his warm friendliness, his good sense, his politeness, his gay spirits, his artistic integrity, his love of both the Old World and the New World. Thackery described Irving as"a gentleman, who, though himself born in no very high sphere, was most finished, polished, witty; socially the equal of the most refined Europeans". In England he was granted an honorary degree from Oxford—an unusual honor for a citizen of a young, uncultured nation—and he received the medal of the Royal Society of Literature; America made him ambassador to Spain. Irving's background provides little to explain his literary achievements. A gifted but delicate child, he had little schooling. He studied law, but without zeal, and never did practice seriously. He was immune to his strict Presbyterian(长老会教徒的)home environment, frequenting both social gatherings and the theater.

What is the most proper comment on Irving？

A．His works were very popular in England and the United States.

B．He was respected by many fellow writers.

C．He gained international fame by his personality and his works.

D．He is a gentleman.

Dear Sirs,

I am very happy to apply for the position of secretary, which you advertised in China Daily of December 10, 2005.

Now, both my English and Chinese have been improved and I am ready to begin working as a bilingual secretary in an international company like yours, and I believe I can be a great help to your firm.

The enclosed resume gives further details of my qualifications, and I would appreciate it if you could give me an opportunity to have an interview. I am looking forward to receiving your call at 62428866 or please use the enclosed pre-paid postcard to send me your reply.

Bill Gates, the head of the world’s biggest computer software company, the Microsoft C

orporation, has a mission: “to put a computer on every office desk and in every home”. Bill Gates has had this mission since he was a university student years ago. This deep personal interest, together with his technical skills and his business marketing skills helped him to create a giant computer company and to make him wealthy.

Although he is so wealthy, Bill Gates does not want to give up. He is still very interested in his vision and he travels the globe, making quick stops in cities to sell the new software products of his company.

The central vision of Bill Gates is the “information highway”. This is a network for computers that will link every home, office and shop in the future. This computer network system will have an effect on business, shopping and education. Bill Gates says that the main use of this new technology will be in communication. It will be a way to find people with common interests and to share opinions with them.

But is this communication by computer along the “information highway” really a good thing？ Won’t we be sitting at home, only “socializing” with our computer, paying big companies money so that we can receive information that some large communication corporation somewhere had decided is “acceptable” for us to read？ No, says Bill Gates, he thinks that the phrase “information highway” is a terrible phrase. It makes people think that we are all going down the same road, he says. In fact, the computer network will let us choose our own intellectual direction. It will give us freedom. It will also bring good to society, because it will allow for the spread of education. When more and more people receive education, the gap between the rich and the poor will narrow.

In the meantime, however, the gap between the rich and the poor is still there. To be added to this now is the gap between those with computers and those without.

1.Ever since he was a college student, Bill Gates has __________.

A. become very interested in the computer

B. set up a goal to popularize the computer

C. discovered great potentials in computer business

D. dreamed of having a giant computer company

2.Bill Gates’ success depends on the following except ___________.

C. his deep personal interest in developing computer science

D. his strong desire to make big money

3.The word “vision” (line 2, parA.2) probably means________.

A. sight

B. idea

C. effort

D. daydream

4.The “information highway” will mainly be used _______.

A. in human communication

B. to help link every home, office and shop

C. in business, shopping and education

D. to narrow the gap between the rich and the poor

5.The best title for this passage is probably _________.
