Passage 2　　What do student newspapers complain about these days?　　How about this headline in Swansea University’s student paper following the recent bad weather.　　“Students lose? 20 a lecture after snow sends university into lockdown.”　　It pointed out that fee-paying students are not getting full value for money if lectures are cancelled.　　Students were seeing their “money disappear quicker than the snow melted”.　　It illustrates something about changed attitudes on campus when students are complaining that they are not getting enough lectures.　　Paying fees means that students are customers as well as learners.　　The student union president at Swansea University, James Houston, says that going to university is “still different from a shopping experience”—but that paying fees is pushing it in that direction.　　“There is a strong argument that if you charge more, then people will want to know where their money is going” he says.　　Universities are more than a business, he says. But he fears that fees are driving a campus consumer ethic.　　The students’ union already has complaints from students about not getting “value for money”.　　This shift in attitude is also reflected in an increase in complaints by students to the Office of the Independent Adjudicator for Higher Education—which it attributes to fees.　　“We believe that one reason for the increase is the rise in tuition fees. There is also more consumerist thinking amongst students. Students have become more assertive about their rights, and the services they are entitled to,” said chief executive, Rob Behrens.　　While the debate about fees was once about whether it would be a social barrier to poorer students, in practice there have been other less expected changes.　　The combination of fees and debts from student loans means that university courses are judged by their price tags as well as academic worth.　　Frank Furedi, social commentator and academic at the University of Kent, says that the campus culture is “unrecognisable” from a generation ago.　　Students now ring lecturers at home at the weekend, he says, seeing this as being part of the service they are buying with their fees.　　“They feel they can make all kinds of demands,” says Prof Furedi.　　“Fees give a clear and tangible form to the idea of students as consumers.”　　“The relationship with the student is no longer academic, it’s a service provider and customer.　　The academic relationship is an endangered species.”　　But the landscape is one in which many students expect to have everything done for them.　　“School has extended into higher education. Students behave like schoolchildren.”　　If tuition fees are hiked further, he says it will intensify the sense of consumerism among students.　　There are other signs of how fees have changed life on campus.　　Students are more careers-focused than ever before, the accumulation of large debts putting pressure on them to get a degree that will help them in the jobs market.　　Beginning a university degree course is a serious financial undertaking and that now shapes the experience of student life.　　There are other practical changes. More students than ever are living at home while at university—with surveys suggesting that perhaps a fifth of students continue to live with their parents.　　This in turn means that more students, particularly from less well-off families, are choosing from universities close to where they live.　　The role of parents, who pay towards student costs, has also been seen as becoming more prominent.　　This has been caricatured as “helicopter parents” who hover over every decision taken by their student offspring, including contacting lecturers.　　Parents can now act as agents for their children in university applications—and have even been allowed to sit in on admissions interviews.　　Cary Cooper, pro-vice chancellor at Lancaster University, also points to the structural consequences of a further increase in fees.　　At present, he says, the current level of student debt means that many more students have to take part-time jobs to pay their way.　　Another hike in fees will mean even more students will need to work—including those who will only be able to study part-time.　　This will mean universities will have to adapt, such as providing courses which can be passed in individual units, accumulating credits over a number of years.　　Professor Cooper says this could mean a fundamental change for higher education, moving away from the traditional model of 18 to 21-year-olds taking a three-year degree course.　　1. Describe Frank Furedi’s viewpoint of the present relationship between professor and student and the reason.　　2. How do the hiked fees change students’ choice of majors and universities?　　3. What changes are likely to happen if there is another jump in tuition fees?

After teaching sounds, a teacher makes a test that aims to find out which sounds students are and are not able to pronounce. This test belongs to _____.

Some people believe that a college or university education should be available to all students. Others believe that higher education should be available only to good students. Which view do you agree with and why?

Practice 2　　Private school does not mean better. But it does mean expensive. Public schools in the US are paid for by money from everyone; private schools are not. Parents who send their children to private schools must pay to do so.　　Parents may have enough money to pay for private schools. But these schools do not have to accept their children. Most private schools accept only children who are already doing well in school and are able to work quietly, Some take only boys or only girls. Classes are often quieter and less crowded than classes in public schools. This gives children a chance to learn more of what their teachers are trying to teach them.　　Public schools do not teach religion. So some parents choose private religious schools for their children. These schools each belong to a church. 6 They give lessons about that religion. They give lessons in all the usual school subjects as well.　　Children at many private schools wear special school uniforms, all exactly the same. At public schools, students wear what they want. They often dress in bright colors and tennis shoes. They sometimes invent new and wonderful fashions.

请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，The requirements for high school graduation have just changed in my community. As a result, all students must 36 sixty hours of service learning, 37 they will not receive a diploma. Service learning is academic learning that also helps the community. 38 of service learning include cleaning up a polluted river, working in a soup kitchen, or tutoring a student. 39 a service experience, students must keep a journal（日志）and then write a 40 about what they have learned.Supporters claim that there are many 41 of service learning. Perhaps most importantly, students are forced to think 42 their own interests and become 43 of the needs of others. Students are also able to learn real-life skills that 44 responsibility, problem-solving, and working as part of a team. 45 , students can explore possible careers 46 service learning.For example, if a student wonders what teaching is like, he or she can choose to work in an elementary school classroom a few afternoons each month. 47 there are many benefits, opponents （反对者） 48 problems with the new requirement. First, they 49 that the main reason students go to school is to learn core subjects and skills. Because service learning is time-consuming, students spend 50 time studying the core subjects. Second, they believe that forcing students to work without 51 goes against the law. By requiring service, the school takes away an individual's freedom to choose.In my view, service learning is a great way to 52 to the community, learn new skills, and explore different careers. 53 , I don' t believe you should force people to help others – the 54 to help must come from the heart. I think the best 55 is one that gives students choices: a student should be able to choose sixty hours of independent study or sixty hours of service. Choice encourages both freedom and responsibility, and as young adults, we must learn to handle both wisely.36.

In face of the rising cost for higher education,fields of graduate study that are favored by students are those that（）

In a group of 100 students, more students are on the fencing team than are members of the French club. If 70 are in the club and 20 are neither on the team nor in the club, what is the minimum number of students who could be both on the team and in the club?

It’s hard to get more white-fenced than Naperville. In the western Chicago suburb, crime is an annoyance, not a problem. The streets are clean and the schools are some of the most impressive in the state, producing some of the brightest students who attend the nation’s best colleges. (1)____________.　　The rankings will be phased out over the next year, with 2007’s upperclassmen deciding whether to include such a rank in their official transcripts. By no longer ranking students, the Naperville School District 203 is squarely in line with a trend that is fast sweeping the nation, as more and more private and public schools are dropping the practice. The goal, proponents say, is to cut down on the hyper-competition and lessen the stress at such a critical learning point and maturation curve in kids’ lives.　　“It’s a high bar we set, and it should be,” said Naperville Superintendent Alan Leis. “But there needs to be more than wrestling over who’s better than who.” (2)______________.　　Some 80% or more public schools still report rankings to inquiring universities and colleges, but a growing number of high schools in the Chicago area and around the country—in mostly affluent districts from California to Miami to New Jersey—have already adopted the practice. (3)_______________. Even in Naperville, a valedictorian is still expected to address the class, but that honor is not chosen until the last weeks of a school year and is not forwarded on to schools in official transcripts.　　(4)_______________. According to Dr. Scott Hunter, a clinical psychologist and school consultant at the University of Chicago Hospitals who specializes in pediatric neuropsychology. “The reality is that we have made in the last 10 years more of rank than it deserves because some kids don’t really shine until they enter into adulthood, and they risk being ignored by the very places and people where they could greatly succeed,” adds Hunter, “ This is an artificial number in terms of where a person really falls.”　　(5)___________________.　　“It makes it a little more opaque for us on the admissions side, but we fully understand it,” said Jim Miller, director of admissions at Brown University. “It’s conceivable a student could get a B in gym and get knocked down 40 places in rank. So we’re getting more used to it, and probably half our applicants now come from schools that don’t have rank. “　　[A] Class rankings, a tradition at many schools, have long helped universities and colleges—especially the Harvards and Princetons of the world—weed out the weak students from the strong, the ones with not only promise but the ambition to excel and meet the difficulties of higher education.　　[B] But it’s vicious at the top—so much so that Naperville’s school officials recently voted to stop using a class ranking system.　　[C] A much higher number of private schools do not share their rankings, including some independent schools in Chicago that, for example, have societies that recognize the top 10% of a class but choose to allow the students themselves dictate who speaks at graduation.　　[D] Competitions among students for the title of honored graduates are very tight and are on the rise in a great number of private schools.　　[E] Schools just have to make certain, through student profiles and other means, the strength of a schedule and student performance relative to other students.　　[F] Not surprisingly, there is still lots of disagreement about the new policy; some parents are worried that it hurts high-achieving students’ chances of getting over the bar, while forcing colleges and universities to rely on perhaps less reliable or easier measures or on standardized tests like the ACT or SAT.　　[G] Students and their parents increasingly fight over who gets to be number one, and the damage that can be done—both academically and psychologically—to those who lose out far wins the benefits of the glory attached to such titles.(此文选自Time 2006年刊)
