16、t to fund four years of partying, as well as studying, can console themselves with the knowledge that college is an investment that, unlike many bank stocks, should yield huge dividends.A 2008 study by two Harvard economists notes that the “labor-market premium to skilr “ or the amount college gradu

17、ates earned thats greater than what high-school graduates earneddecreased for much of the 20th century, but has come back with a vengeance since the 1980s. In 2005, the typical full-time year-round U.S. worker with a four-year college degree earned $ 50,900, 62% more than the $ 31,500 earned by a wo

18、rker with only a high-school diploma.Theres no question that going to college is a smart economic choice.

20、tudents( $17,380) there? Not likely.No, in this consumerist age, most buyers arent evaluating college as an investment, but rather as a consumer productlike a car or clothes or a house. And with such purchases, price is only one of many crucial factors to consider.As with automobiles, consumers in t

21、odays college marketplace have vast choices, and people search for the one that gives them the most comfort and satisfaction in line with their budgets. This accounts for the willingness of people to pay more for different types of experiences(such as attending a private liberal-arts college or goin

22、g to an out-of-state public school that has a great marine-biology program). And just as two auto purchasers might spend an equal amount of money on very different cars, college students(or, more accurately, their parents)often show a willingness to pay essentially the same price for vastly differen

23、t products. So which is it?（分数：10.00）(1).Whats the opinion of economists about going to college? A. Huge amounts of money is being wasted on campus socializing B.

28、s（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.四、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：20.00)Crippling health care bills, long emergency-room waits and the inability to find a primary care physician just scratch the surface of the problems that patients face daily. Primary care should be the backbone of any health care system. Countries with ap

29、propriate primary care resources score highly when it comes to health outcomes and cost. The US takes the opposite approach by emphasizing the specialist rather than the primary care physician.A recent study analyzed the providers who treat Medicare beneficiaries.The startling finding was that the a

30、verage Medicare patient saw a total of seven doctorstwo primary care physicians and five specialistsin given one year. Contrary to a popular belief, the more physicians taking care of you doesnt guarantee better care. Actually, increasing fragmentation of care results in a corresponding rise in cost

31、 and medical errors.How did we let primary care slip so far? The key is how doctors are paid. Most physicians are paid whenever they perform a medical service. The more a physician does, regardless of quality or outcome, the better hes reimbursed. Moreover, the amount a physician receive leans heavi

32、ly toward medical or surgical procedures. A specialist who performs a procedure in a 30-minute visit can be paid three times more than a primary care physician using that same 30 minutes to discuss a patients disease.Combine this fact with annual government threats to indiscriminately cut reimbursem

33、ents, physicians are faced with no choice but to increase quantity to boost income. Primary care physicians who refuse to compromise quality are either driven out of business or to each-only practices, further contributing to the decline of primary care. Medical students arent blind to this scenario

34、. They see how heavily the reimbursement deck is stacked against primary care.How do we fix this problem?It starts with reforming the physician reimbursement system. Remove the pressure for primary care physicians to squeeze in more patients per hour, and reward them for optimally managing their dis

35、eases and practicing evidence based medicine. Make primary care more attractive to medical students by forgiving student loans for those who choose primary care as a career and reconciling the marked difference between specialist and primary care physician salaries.（分数：20.00）(1).The authors chief co

36、ncern about the current US health care system is _. A. the inadequate training of physicians B. The declining number of doctors C. the shrinking primary care resources D. the ever-rising health care costs（分数：4.00）A.B.C.D.(2).We learn from the passage that people tend to believe that _. A.The more co

37、stly the medicine, the more effective the cure B. seeing more doctors may result in more diagnostic errors C. visiting doctors on a regular basis ensures good health D. the more doctor taking care of a patient, the better（分数：4.00）A.B.C.D.(3).Face with the government threats to cut reimbursements ind

38、iscriminately, primary care physicians have to _. A. increase their income by working overtime B. improve their expertise and service C. Make various deals with specialists D. see more patients at the expense of quality（分数：4.00）A.B.C.D.(4).Why do many medical graduates refuse to choose primary care

39、as their career? A.They find the need for primary care declining. B.The current system works against primary care. C. Primary care physicians command less respect. D. They think working in emergency rooms tedious.（分数：4.00）A.B.C.D.(5).What suggestion does the author give in order to provide better he

40、alth care? A. Bridge the salary gap between specialist and primary care physicians. B. Extend primary care to patients with chronic diseases. C. Recruit more medical students by offering loans. D. Reduce the tuition of students who choose primary care as their major.（分数：4.00）A.B.C.D.五、Passage Three(

41、总题数：1，分数：40.00)Bosses say “yes“ to homeworkRising costs of office space, time lost to stressful commuting, and a slow recognition that workers have lives beyond the office - all are strong arguments for letting staff work from home.For the small business, there are additional benefits too - staff ar

42、e more productive, and happier, enabling firms to keep their headcounts and their recruitment costs to a minimum. It can also provide competitive advantage, especially when small businesses want to attract new staff but dont have the budget to offer huge salaries. While company managers have known a

43、bout the benefits for a long time, many have done little about it, sceptical of whether they could trust their employees to work to full capacity without supervision, or concerned about the additional expenses teleworking policies might incur as staff start charging their home phone bills to the bus

44、iness.Yet this is now changing. When communications provider Inter-Tel researched the use of remote working solutions among small and medium sized UK businesses in April this year, it found that 28% more companies claimed to be practising flexible working practices than a year ago. The UK network of

45、 Business Links confirms that it too has seen a growing interest in remote working solutions from small businesses seeking its advice, and claims that as many as 60-70% of the businesses that come through its doors now offer some form of remote working support to their workforces.Technology advances

46、, including the widespread availability of broadband, are making the introduction of remote working a no-brainer.“If systems are set up properly, staff can have access to all the resources they have in the office wherever they have an internet connection,“ says Andy Poulton, e-business advisor at Bu

47、siness Link for Berkshire and Wiltshire. “There are some very exciting developments which have enabled this.“One is the ubiquity of broadband, which now covers almost all of the country (BT claims that, by July, 99.8% of its exchanges will be broadband enabled, with alternative plans in place for ev

48、en the most remote exchanges). “This is the enabler,“ Poulton says. Yet while broadband has come down in price too, those service providers targeting the business market warn against consumer services masquerading as business-friendly broadband.“Broadband is available for as little as 15 a month, but many businesses fail to appreciate the hi
