15、erve of a privileged elite, with more than seven million undergraduates now enrolled in the roughly 2,600 colleges and universities that grant bachelor or higher degrees. In 2002, the most recent year for which figures are available, 1,291,900 students received bachelors diplomas and 606,958 complet
16、ed graduate programs. The latter figure is worth noting, since it tells us that almost half of those who are completing college believe that a single degree wont suffice for what they want to do or be.A census study last year found that among adults aged thirty to thirty-four, only 41 percent had at
17、tended high school without going to college. These high school graduates, moreover, represent a dwindling part of the population. Another 32 percent had earned at least a bachelors degree, while 27 percent had spent time on a campus, whether a community college or a four-year college, without finish
18、ing. Viewed one way, that figure shows a high attrition rate.The claim that almost six in ten Americans in their early thirties have had some kind of college experience thus needs further scrutiny. The experience can range from small seminars in philosophy at Colgate to lectures in motel management
19、at Southwest Missouri State. Some colleges have rigorous core curriculums: students elsewhere must choose courses from huge catalogs in order to amass the 128 credits needed for a BA. Reed College in Oregon limits its enrollment to 1,312 students, while at Michigan State University an entering stude
20、nt would be one of 34,617.In fact, there are places open for anyone who wants to pursue a bachelors degree and can pay for it, and many colleges must work hard to attract students. In a study published this year, James Fallows concluded that for all but the richest ten or twenty universities, an imp
21、ortant part of managing enrollment is simply being sure that enough paying customer will show up each fall.The Princeton Review, a commercial organization with no ties to the university, compiles useful information about what it calls “the best 257 colleges“ in the country. It reports that reputable
22、 although less well known schools like Creighton, Duquesne, and Evergreen State accept at least 85 percent of those who apply. But for many American families, knowing that there are many openings is not reassuring. On the contrary, increasing numbers of parents are investing money and energy to ensu
23、re that their children be accepted by a college that is recognized and admired.Ross Doughat writes candidly about these efforts in his memoir of student life in Harvards class of 2002, Privilege: Harvard and the Education of the Ruling Class. “People send their children to Harvard, above all,“ he sa
24、ys, “because they want them to succeed.“ And an early sign of their success will be the college they attend. When friends ask where the children are going. Parents want to give a response that brings congratulatory smiles; yet the number of schools that evoke this reaction is relatively small. True,
25、 people may recall having heard, say, of Carleton and Grinnell; but they dont see them as being among the first tier. As Doughat writes, ambitious parents dont want to be seen as having children whose attainment was less than the best. Regional loyalties are being replaced by the growing power of a
26、handful of national name brands. A neurologist in Tulsa who himself went to Oklahoma State now wants Dartmouth or Duke for his daughter, and a senior vice-president at Procter only 6% (525) accepted it; 22% (1,971) said they “neither completely accept nor completely reject it“; and the other 3% (290
27、) did not offer an opinion. Of the 8,878 responders, 49% (4,386) said they wanted the RCP to “seek withdrawal of the bill“, while slightly fewer-46% (4,099)said it should “continue to engage critically on further improving the bill“. The other 4% (393) did not offer a view either way. A third questi
28、on, asking RCP fellows and members what their main concerns were related to the bill and the wider health agenda, showed that large numbers of hospital doctors fear it will have a negative impact.Concern about possible privatisation of the NHS, and the planned extension of competition between health
29、care providers and choice for patients, loomed large, though many are also worried about the effect of handing control of 60bn of patient treatment budgets from April 2013 to local groups of GPs called clinical commissioning groups (CCGs). CCGs will exercise considerable power, including over the co
30、mmissioning of services for patients from hospitals.The RCP members top concerns about the bill were:1. Training, education and research (5,550 put in their top five concerns)2. Use of the private sector (5,414)3. Commissioning by clinical commissioning groups (4,905)4. Choice and competition (4,866
31、)5. Proposed structural change (introducing the new NHS national commissioning board, CCGs, etc) (4,687)6. Role of secretary of state (3,216)The poll also found widespread unease about issues already facing the NHS at the frontline, including the quality of patient care, budget cuts, staff shortages
32、 and patients not getting continuous care.“We believe that this is the single biggest survey among the medical royal colleges, with the highest turnout, and while it shows there is a clear majority of the RCPs fellows and members who would personally reject the bill, opinion is divided almost equall
33、y on whether the RCP should continue to critically engage or now call for the withdrawal of the bill,“ said Sir Richard Thompson, the RCPs president.“The areas of most concern to RCP fellows and members are the areas on which we have been strongly lobbying government, MPs, peers and other stakeholde
34、rs: training, education and research; use of the private sector; commissioning by clinical commissioning groups; and choice and competition,“ he added.The Department of Health played down the importance of the poll, pointing out that the doctors wanting the bill scrapped represented just 17% of the
35、RCPs membership.“While it is disappointing that some members of the Royal College of Physicians have voted to reject the bill, it is worth noting that only a third of the colleges 25,000 members voted in this process, and under half of those members have asked for it to be withdrawn,“ said Lord Howe
36、, the health minister in the House of Lords.“We have already strengthened the health bill following the listening exercise and have responded directly to the points raised by the Royal College of Physicians, including making clear that competition would only be used to benefit patients, never as an
37、end in itself.“We welcome the fact that thousands of doctors have called on their college to continue to engage with the government on its plans for improving the health service. We have committed to working closely with the medical royal colleges on our plans on education and training, which they h
38、ave welcomed,“ he said.（分数：12.50）(1).Why do so many doctors want the bill failed? A. 70% members of RCP dont agree. B. Its harmful to the medical community. C. They are afraid of health services being privatized. D. Its a political measure that officials have taken.（分数：2.50）A.B.C.D.(2).What is the p

There will be extended competition between healthcare providers. B. The treatment budgets will go down. C. The quality of patient care will drop. D. Patient

Choice and competition. D. Commissioning by clinical commissioning groups.（分数：2.50）A.B.C.D.(5).What is the main idea of this
41、 passage? A. Many people are against the privatisation of the NHS. B. The restructuring of the National Health System in Britain. C.

42、fering from an Olympic hangover, Britons are closing 2012 in a mood of fond nostalgia for the London Games, according to a Guardian/ICM poll. By an emphatic four-to-one margin, the public said the Games were worth the expenseand there are signs that the resulting feelgood factor has rallied spirits
43、more widely in the year of a double-dip slump.Even after being reminded of the 9bn price tag, 78% of voters said the Olympics “did a valuable job in cheering up a country in hard times“, as compared with just 20% who look back on them as “a costly and dangerous distraction“.This new vote of confiden
44、ce is even more marked than that which ICM found at the height of the Games. In an online survey taken immediately after so-called Super Saturday ICM asked an identical question, and found support for the games running at 55%, with 35% against. Instead of narrowing as the Games slipped into memory,
45、that 20-point margin has widened to 58 points today. The Paralympics may have helped to cement this majority.For all the pre-Games controversy about the public money involved, the strong retrospective support is reflected remarkably closely across the range of demographic groups and the political sp
46、ectrum: 79% of men say the Games were “well worth the cost“ as do 77% of women. In every age bracket, more than three-quarters of people take the same view, with the 80% of 65 + voters who gave the thumbs-up being the most emphatic of all.A similarly crushing margin in favor of London 2012 is found
47、in every social class, and more strikingly, across every region. Some had feared that the Games would be heavily concentrated in the capital and its hinterland, but in fact 79% support in the south is closely matched by 80%, 74% and 77% respectively in the Midlands, the north and in Wales. Only the
48、Scots are somewhat less enthusiastic, and even among them the overall 69%-31% balance in favor of the Games is striking.The Olympics themselves took up little more than two weeks in a year which has also witnessed volatile weather, the diamond jubilee and the first double-dip recession since the 1970s. Asked to consider all of these things together, and reflect on 2012 as a whole, 49% of respondents said the year has made Britain a better place to liveagainst 41% who said the reverse, suggesting a positive public take on the Olympics is c
