27、ach of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center. 30 The brain drain (人才流失 ) is a universal phenomenon, and countries that dont face up to the new reality will be losing some of their most preciou

28、s resources. The northeast of England is its poorest region, and has experienced a severe loss of highly qualified professionals-to-be. Some of the most able 18-year-olds are going to other parts of Britain, even to other countries. What is happening here is happening to Britain as a whole. Most not

29、iceably, there is a growing trend of British students taking degrees in American universities. This year the number will break the psychological barrier of 1 000 students for the first time. And what is happening at the secondary-school level is happening to higher education. Wherever they come from

30、, todays students have a very different perspective on education from their parents. Because of television, the Internet and their own travels, these students see the world as a much smaller place than their parents once did. They are more confident in accepting the challenge of moving from one coun

31、try to another, from one culture to another; in many cases they can even apply to schools over the Internet. Students are also more aware of the overall cost of education and are looking for value for money. Plus, for many, education linked to travel is a better option than education at home. In the

32、 context of student globe-trotters (周游世界者 )， as world-class British universities like Oxford suddenly find themselves fighting over British students with the Harvards of the world, they face major challenges. It is not simply that Harvard is a wealthier institution: Harvard Universitys endowment $ 1

33、4. 5 billion is estimated to be ten times that of Oxford. Harvard also offers a radically different educational experience, stressing breadth of study and real-world applications of knowledge. Today, bound in by nearly a millennium of tradition and lacking sufficient financial help from the national

34、 government, Oxford cannot easily respond to the quickened global pace of educational change. Rightly or wrongly, Oxford in particular has been slow or unwilling to put the kind of emphasis other universities have on more business-friendly curricula (课程 ). Thus it has slipped behind universities lik

35、e Cambridge and Harvard in the battle for resources that tend to go to more business-minded institutions. Education is an expensive business, but the consequences of a failure to educate especially in an increasingly globalized world are even more expensive. 31 From the first paragraph, we know that

36、_. （ A） many countries are experiencing the brain drain, Britain is one of them （ B） most British students prefer to take degrees in American universities than in British ones （ C） Britain is suffering a more serious loss of professionals-to-be than other countries （ D） the brain drain is only happe

37、ning in the northeast poor regions of England 32 Which of the following is NOT true? （ A） Compared to their parents, todays students can accept a new culture more capably. （ B） In todays students eyes the world is much smaller than it was in the past. （ C） Todays students care less about their cost

38、of education than did their parents. （ D） Many of todays students prefer attending foreign universities because this provides them a chance for travel. 33 Many British students may prefer Harvard over Oxford because all of the following EXCEPT that_. （ A） Harvard is wealthier （ B） Harvard is more fa

39、mous （ C） Harvard offers a radically different educational experience （ D） Harvard responds more quickly to the global pace of educational change 34 Compared with other universities, Oxford is at a disadvantage in attracting students, because （ A） it is still bound by old traditions （ B） it lacks su

40、fficient financial help from the government （ C） it does not pay great attention to business curricula （ D） all of the above 35 We can conclude that_. （ A） education has no national boundary （ B） America attaches greater importance to education than Britain （ C） students in America receive better ed

41、ucation than in Britain （ D） failure in education might lead to huge loss of both money and human resources 35 There are three trends most widely blamed for causing environmental problemspopulation growth, urbanization and industrialization. The worlds population is increasing by around 85 million e

42、very year the equivalent of, say, another Mexico. The pace of growth has come down a little since the 1960s, but according to United Nations projections it remains fast enough to push the worlds population above 9 billion, from around 6 billion today. Most of that growth will be in developing countr

43、ies. The population explosion of the past few decades has been due to a happy trend: a dramatic rise in life expectancy (平均寿命 ), thanks in part to the spread of modern medicines and better sanitation. But, say environmentalists, the worlds supply of natural resources is finite, and in some regions p

44、articular resources are already scarce (water in the Middle East, certain species of fish in the North Atlantic). How can these resources be made to go round an extra 3 billion people? Increasing urbanization is another environmental worry. The historic movement from country to town in rich countrie

45、s is now being echoed in poor countries, but on a much bigger scale. The UN expects that between 1990 and 2025 the number of people living in urban areas will double to more than 5 billion, and that 90% of that growth will be in developing countries. In Africa and Asia more than half the population

46、still lives in the countryside, compared with only a fifth in Europe and North America. Country-dwellers in developing countries are moving to cities for the same sort of reasons as in the rich countries in the 19th century： they are pushed by a scarcity of farm jobs, and they are pulled by the hope

47、 of better jobs and a better life. Governments in many developing countries have accelerated this progress by pursuing economic policies that discriminate against agriculture; until recently, for example, many governments kept food prices artificially low. The reason why urbanization is likely to ha

48、rm the local environment is simply that people are much more densely crowded together. Burn a tyre in the countryside, and no one may worry about it; but in the city it will cause a great many coughs and splutters (杂乱的声音 ). Industrialization, too, is an obvious cause of environmental problems. Today

49、s rich countries moved first from agriculture to manufacturing industries which use resources intensively, and later to services and less polluting types of manufacturing. Many developing countries are now undergoing that first transition at the same time succumbing to (屈从于 ) a temptation not available in the 19th century; motor vehicles. 36 The population explosion will lead to_. （ A） shortage of worlds sup
