17、ller during its filming.八、Section C(总题数：1，分数：71.00)Each of us has an innate sense that we have the same inherent worth as anyone else, regardless of our particular characteristics or our status. We experience this as a birthright, an important fact that cannot be undone by any person, circumstance,

18、1 , or government. That is why rankism (等级歧视) 2 such strong resentment whether it occurs between individuals or groups, it is experienced on the deepest level as an insult to dignity. Like any animal vulnerable to being 3 , we“re super-sensitive to threats to our well-being. Picking on the weak is t

19、he 4 of choice for all predators, and human beings have retained those instincts. Among our 5 , those who missed signs of predatory intent became someone“s lunch. For this same reason, we“re alert to 6 attempts to determine our relative strength, from “innocent“ opening lines such as “And you are.?“

20、 or “Who are you with?“ to more probing queries regarding our ancestry or education. All it takes is a faint sign of presumed superiority and we“re 7 . Indeed, our dignity is often most easily recognized in the breach. We know at once when we“re treated with 8 , and for good reason. An intimation or

21、 obvious gesture of disrespect may be a feeler put out by someone to gauge the degree of our 9 subordination, or to remind us of our place. For example, an insult is often a signal of intent to exclude the 10 individual from the group, to make him or her an outcast (被抛弃者), a nobody. Likewise, an ass

22、ertion of rankeven a subtle onecan signal an intention to dominate. （分数：71.00）填空项 1:_九、Part Reading Compr(总题数：0，分数：0.00)十、Section A(总题数：1，分数：35.50)A Pew study released Thursday has some good news for America“s libraries namely that Americans seem to love thembut perhaps even better news for library

23、users. According to Pew, the more people are “engaged“ with their public library, the more they tend to feel 1 to their community as a whole. 2 , unengaged people tend to have “fewer ties to their neighbors, lower feelings of being empowered to change their community, and less 3 with other cultural

24、activities.“ While the study does not mean to measure personal happiness, there“s a 4 intersection between the traits of library users and traits of people who 5 higher levels of personal happiness: a sense of empowerment in one“s community. Library users are also more likely to say that they like t

25、heir communities and that they would call their communities good or 6 places to live. Though library users share traits with positive, happy people, the poll results say nothing of 7 . “It“s not necessarily that people use libraries and then find they“re happy,“ Zickuhr said. It“s just that library

26、users tend to be more open to the world. “People who have more access to economic, social, technological 8 are also more likely to use libraries as part of their networks,“ she said. Library usage tends to be a part of a bigger picture, in other words, in which a person who goes to the library also

27、tends to be one who spends time at the park, takes part in civic organizations, and 9 new technologies. Maybe the rusty old 10 of having a community institution that makes information accessible counts for something after all. A. absolutely I. excellent B. causation J. implement C. connected K. prio

Senators argued Wednesday over whether and how to grant federal loans to college

29、students, whose total debt load has tripled in the last eight years. But missing in the war over the “Keeping Student Loans Affordable Act“ was any significant debate over how to keep the skyrocketing price of college affordable for parents and students. In the end, Republicans put off a bill that w

30、ould have cut the 6.8% rate for federal granted loans back to 3.6% for one year. Experts in higher education say that by focusing on making borrowing cheap, while public grant money dries up and student-loan debt balloons past $1 trillion, Congress is missing the point altogether. B. Sara Goldrick-R

31、ab, an associate professor of educational policy studies and sociology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, calls the student loan debate “the tip of the iceberg“ of an approaching crisis in higher education that Congress seems decades away from addressing. C. “I love that people are getting upse

32、t, because it“s amazing how long people have not paid attention to this problem,“ she said. “But I“m sad at how misdirected the attention is.“ Goldrick-Rab said driving down the price to attend college, not making it easier to finance massive tuitions, should be the focus of the debate in Washington

33、. She testified to the Senate in April that many college campuses have become “glorified summer camps“, made downright luxurious in many cases by universities engaging in an arms race to have the most impressive bells and whistles for prospective students, parents, and college-ranking publications.

34、“We are paying through the nose for prestige,“ Goldrick-Rab said. “And colleges are finding that the more you charge, the more people want it and are willing to pay for it.“ D. Prestige on college campuses comes in many packages. In some cases, it“s Division I sports teams, the majority of which are

35、 financed by student fees and general school funds. In other cases prestige comes in the form of well-known tenured professors, some of whom Goldrick-Rab said may teach one class a year while part-time, low-salaried instructors pick up the extra teaching load. The average full professor“s compensati

36、on at American schools last year was $134,000, up about 2% from 2011, although many made significantly more. E. Colleges are also shelling out record amounts to their presidents, whose median compensation at public research universities went up 4.7% last year to $441,392. The top dollar for a sittin

37、g public school president went to Auburn University“s Jay Gogue, who made $2.5 million in total compensation, a figure that would be nearly 20 times the salary for the governor of Alabamaif the governor had not pledged to forgo his salary until unemployment in the state improves. The Auburn trustees

38、 who approved Gogue“s salary also recently voted to increase next year“s student tuition by 4.5%, on top of an 8% increase last year and a 13% increase in 2010. F. And not to be forgotten in the prestige arms race are the buildings and facilities, even at public institutions, that would give any cou

39、ntry club a run for its money. Looking for a recreational center with weight machines like the ones used at the Beijing Olympics? Then UMass Amherst could be the school for you. The aquatic enthusiast should head to the University of Cincinnati, whose recreational center promises “850,000 gallons of

40、 fun“, with three indoor pools, a bubble couch (whatever that is), and a current channel for those “looking for an upstream workout“. The University of Iowa“s $72 million recreational center also has a massive climbing wall, 72 tread mills with TVs, a 25-person hot tub, and a “club level“ locker roo

41、m with a biometric hand scanner for extra security. All of this prestige and benefits don“t come cheap, but the money to pay the ballooning cost of attending these colleges does. And that“s the problem. G. George Cornelius, a former CEO and college president who now writes the education blog Finding

42、 My College , said he sees the federal government as an enabler for the runaway cost of education in America, where average tuition at public four-year colleges has jumped 42% in the last five years as state and local funding has been cut down and colleges simply shift the extra expense on to studen

43、ts. “My frustration is almost “Who cares?“ That“s not the point, whether the rate is 3% or 6.8%. It“s the principle that“s the problem,“ Cornelius said. “The more money you throw at it, the more it will go up, I guarantee you. No matter how much you give, it will never be enough.“ H. Cornelius said

44、that in order to cut costs, colleges need to improve their financial management and start making difficult choices that they“ve put off for years, including trimming bloated (臃肿的) adminis-trations, eliminating undersubscribed majors, cutting sports programs that cost too much money, or reducing gene

45、rous employee benefits. I. “The fundamental problem is the inability or unwillingness of colleges to control their costs and manage their costs,“ Cornelius said. “Some are trying, but it“s tough. You run into constituencies. There have been cuts at some schools. The tough choices don“t get made unti

46、l there“s a crisis.“ J. Donna Desrochers, the principal researcher with the Delta Cost Project at the American Institutes for Research, says that the cost to students shows no signs of slowing down as shrinking state budgets have meant that students“ tuition and fees now account for the majority of

47、income to colleges and universities for the first time ever. K. “In both public and private institutions, the burden is increasingly falling on students. We don“t expect that to change unless state and local appropriations magically come back,“ Desrochers said. “But even when appropriations have rev

48、ersed in the past, we did not see tuition go down. Colleges just took the extra money and spent it elsewhere.“ L. To start to reverse the trend, Goldrick-Rab says she would refocus federal money toward grants, rather than loans, and find a way to send federal money directly to universities instead o

49、f passing it through students, who have no power to exercise oversight on how the money is spent. “Right now we give schools so much revenue and we ask for nothing in return. I want to give the money to the schools because I want to keep the schools accountable.“ M. Congress will have a chance to look at that and other options next year, when the Higher Education Act, which created the student loan program, is up for reauthorization. Sen. Tom Harkin (D-IA. has held four hearing
