20、题数：1，分数：71.00)Directions: In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks with the exact words you have just heard
21、. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.There were twenty-three British universities in 1960. After a period of expansion in the 1960s, there are now forty-eight, U U 1 /U /Uthe Open University and the Independent University of Buckingham. There
22、 are thirty-five in England, eight in Scotland, two in Northern Ireland, and one in Wales. They can U U 2 /U /Uthree types. The U U 3 /U /Uuniversities of Oxford and Cambridge were set up in the twelfth century, but until the nineteenth century they were the only English universities and U U 4 /U /U
23、no places for women. However, another four universities were founded in Scotland in the fifteenth and sixteenth century. The second group of universities were mainly created between 1850 and 1930. The third group U U 5 /U /Unew universities founded after the Second World War, and later in the 1960s.
24、 Many of them were set in the U U 6 /U /USome 340,000 full-time students attend British universities, and the government would like to increase this U U 7 /U /Uby some 25 percent in the 1990s. U U 8 /U /Ustudents leave university without finishing their courses. The vast U U 9 /U /Uof students aim f

You are required to
27、 select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line
28、 through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Although language is used to transmit information, the informative functions of language are fused (融合) with older and deeper functions so that only a small portion of our everyday speech can be described as U U 1 /U /U
29、informative. The ability to use language for strictly informative purposes was probably developed relatively late in the course of linguistic U U 2 /U /ULong before that time, our ancestral species probably made the sorts of cries animals do to express feelings of hunger, fear, loneliness, and the l
30、ike. Gradually these noises seem to have become more differentiated, U U 3 /U /Uthe cries into language as we know it today.Although we have developed language in which U U 4 /U /Ureports may be given, we still use language as vocal equivalents of gestures such as crying in pain. When words are used
31、 as the vocal equivalent of expressive gestures, language is functioning in presymbolic (前符号的) ways. These presymbolic uses of language coexist with our symbolic system, so that the talking we do in everyday life is a thorough U U 5 /U /Uof symbolic and presymbolic language.What we call social conve
32、rsation is mainly presymbolic in U U 6 /U /U. When we are at a large social gathering, for example, we all have to talk. It is U U 7 /U /Uof these conversations that, except among very good friends, few of the remarks made have any informative value. We talk together about nothing at all and thereby
33、 establish a relationship.There is a U U 8 /U /Uat work in the selection of the subject matter we deem U U 9 /U /Ufor social conversation. Since the purpose of this kind of talk is the establishment of communion, we are careful to select subjects about which agreement is immediately possible. With e
34、ach new agreement, no matter how commonplace, the fear and U U 10 /U /Uof the stranger wear away, and the possibility of friendship emerges. When further conversation reveals that we have friends or political views or artistic values or hobbies in common, a friend is made, and genuine communication

36、一、BSection B/B(总题数：1，分数：71.00)Directions: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once.
37、Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.The Cash Cow of U.S. Universities: Professional Certificates Instead of DegreesA. Reggie Herndon returned to college because he wanted to change careers. What he didnt want was another
38、degree. Herndon, a University of Tennessee graduate from Lynchburg, Va., is on his way instead to finishing a nine-month professional certificate in counterintelligence from Mercyhurst University in Erie, Pa., which he hopes will bolster his odds of landing a job as an intelligence analyst with a de
39、fense contractor or government agency. “I decided that 1 wanted to re-engineer myself,“ said Herndon, 56, who handles marketing for an employment program runs under contract to the Social Security Administration. “But I didnt want to go back and do the whole graduate program, and come out with a tre
40、mendous amount of debt.“B. Responding to demand from more and more students like Herndon, universities are jumping into the business of providing professional certificates that were once the domain of community colleges and for-profit providers like the University of Phoenix. “The growth is huge,“ s
41、aid Anthony Carnevale, director of the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce, which is studying this new phenomenon.C. Certificate programs can be added and updated more quickly than conventional academic ones. And they can help workers keep up with fast-changing fields such as
42、 information technology and intelligence, or get raises or promotions.D. But the leading reason for the explosion in the number of professional certificates at traditional universities, administrators concede, is that they bring in revenue, largely from mid-career students who pay the full cost with
43、out needing institutional financial aid, or whose employers pay them back for tuition.E. At a time when higher-education budgets are being further and further stretched, universities want a piece of what the Georgetown center estimates is 140 billion a year spent on formal career training nationwide
44、, about 54% of which is pumped into educational institutions.F. Ehlers Jr., director of the Center for Security Studies at Angelo State University in Texas, said hes heard officials at other universities refer to professional certificates “as both cash cows and as a means of attracting students who
45、might not otherwise come to that school to experience the kinds of education it might have to offer.“ Ashland University in Ohio, for example, is adding professional certificates this fall in outdoor education, educational technology and educational assessment to build back enrollment in its graduat
46、e school of education, which shrank after the state dropped a requirement that teachers have a masters degree in education.G. Not only do students in certificate programs fill seats and pay tuition-a few stick around to get graduate degrees. At Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Massachusetts, for example, some of the students who are drawn to new certificate programs-in areas such as healthcare technology management, nuclear engineering and digital architecture
