Educators are seriously concerned about the high rate of dropout
15、s (辍学者) among the doctor of philosophy candidates and the consequent loss of talent to a nation in need of Ph. D. s. Some have placed the dropouts loss as high as 50 percent. The extent of the loss was, however, largely a matter of expert guessing. Last week a well-rounded study was published. It wa
16、s published. It was based on 22,000 questionnaires sent to former graduate students who were enrolled in 24 universities and it seemed to show many past fears to be groundless. The dropouts rate was found to be 31 per cent, and in most cases the dropouts, while not completing the Ph. D. requirement,
17、 went on to productive work. They are not only doing well financially, but, according to the report, are not far below the income levels of those who went on to complete their doctorates. Discussing the study last week, Dr. Tucker said the project was initiated because of the concern frequently expr
18、essed by graduate faculties and administrators that some of the individuals who dropped out of Ph. D. programs were capable of competing the requirement for the degree. Attrition (缩/减员，磨损) at the Ph. D. level is also thought to be a waste of precious faculty time and a drain on university resources
19、already being used to capacity. Some people expressed the opinion that the shortage of highly trained specialists and college teachers could be reduced by persuading the dropouts to return to graduate schools to complete the Ph. D. “The results of our research” Dr. Tucker concluded, “did not support
20、 these opinions.” 1.Lack of motivation was the principal reason for dropping out. 2.Most dropouts went as far in their doctoral program as was consistent with their levels of ability or their specialities. 3.Most dropouts are now engaged in work consistent with their education and motivation. Nearly
21、 75 per cent of the dropouts said there was no academic reason for their decision, but those who mentioned academic reason cited failure to pass the qualifying examination, uncompleted research and failure to pass language exams. Among the single most important personal reasons identified by dropout
22、s for non-completion of their Ph. D. program, lack of finances was marked by 19 per cent. As an indication of how well the dropouts were doing, a chart showed 2% in humanities were receiving $ 20,000 and more annually while none of the Ph. D. s with that background reached this figure. The Ph. D.s s
23、hone in the $ 7,500 to $ 15,000 bracket (一类人，阶层) with 78% at that level against 50% for the dropouts. This may also be an indication of the fact that top salaries in the academic fields, where Ph. D. s tend to rise to the highest salaries, are still lagging behind other fields. As to the possibility
24、 of getting dropouts back on campus, the outlook was glum(阴郁的). The main condition which would have to prevail for at least 25 % of the dropouts who might consider returning to graduate school would be to guarantee that they would retain their present level of income and in some cases their present
25、job. （分数：5.00）(1).The author states that many educators feel that （分数：1.00）A.steps should be taken to get the dropouts back to campus.B.the fropouts should return to a lower quality school to continue their study.C.the Ph. D. holder is generally a better adjusted person than the dropout.D.The high d
26、ropouts rate is largely attributable to the lack of stimulation on the part of faculty members.(2).Research has shown that （分数：1.00）A.Dropouts are substantially below Ph. D. s in financial attainment.B.the incentive factor is a minor one in regard to pursuing Ph. D. studies.C.The Ph. D. candidate is
27、 likely to change his field of specialization if he drops out.D.about one-third of those who start Ph. D. work do not complete the work to earn the degree.(3).Meeting foreign language requirements for the Ph. D. （分数：1.00）A.is the most frequent reason for dropping out.B.is more difficult for the scie
28、nce candidate than for the humanities candidate.C.is an essential part of many Ph. D. programs.D.does not vary in difficulty among universities.(4).After reading the article, one would refrain from concluding that （分数：1.00）A.optimism reigns in regard to getting Ph. D. dropouts to return to their pur
29、suit of the degree.B.a Ph. D. dropout, by and large, does not have what it takes to learn the degree.C.colleges and universities employ a substantial number of Ph. D. dropouts.D.Ph. D. s are not earning what they deserve in nonacademic positions.(5).It can be inferred that the high rate of dropouts
30、lies in （分数：1.00）A.salary for Ph. D. too low.B.academic requirement too high.C.salary for dropouts too high.D.1000 positions.Passage Two Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage. The Norwegian Government is doing its best to keep the oil industry under control. A new law limits explorat
31、ion to an area south of the southern end of the long coastline; production limits have been laid down (though these have already been raised); and oil companies have not been allowed to employ more than a limited number of foreign workers. But the oil industry has a way of getting over such problems
32、, and few people believe that the Government will be able to hold things back for long. As on Norwegian politician said last week: “We will soon be changed beyond all recognition.” Ever since the war, the Government has been carrying out a programme of development in the area north of the Arctic Cir
33、cle. During the past few years this programme has had a great deal of success: Tromso has been built up into a local capital with a university, a large hospital and a healthy industry. But the oil industry has already started to draw people south, and within a few years the whole northern policy cou
34、ld be in ruins. The effects of the oil industry would not be limited to the north, however. With nearly 100 percent employment, everyone can see a situation developing in which the service industries and the tourist industry will lose more of their workers to the oil industry. Some smaller industrie
35、s might even disappear altogether when it becomes cheaper to buy goods from abroad. The real argument over oil is its threat to the Norwegian way of life. Farmers and fishermen do not make up most of the population, but they are an important part of it, because Norwegians see in them many of the qua
36、lities that they regard with pride as essentially Norwegian. And it is the farmers and the fishermen who are most critical of the oil industry because of the damage that it might cause to the countryside and to the sea. （分数：5.00）(1).The Norwegian Government would prefer the oil industry to （分数：1.00）
37、A.provide more jobs for foreign workers.B.slow down the rate of its development.C.sell the oil it is producing abroad.D.develop more quickly than at present.(2).The Norwegian Government has tried to （分数：1.00）A.encourage the oil companies to discover new oil sources.B.prevent oil companies employing
38、people from northern Norway.C.help the oil companies solve many of their problems.D.keep the oil industry to something near its present size.(3).According to the passage, the oil industry might lead northern Norway to （分数：1.00）A.the development of industry.B.a growth in population.C.the failure of t
39、he development programme.D.the development of new towns.(4).In the south, one effect to the development of the oil industry might be （分数：1.00）A.a large reduction on unemployment.B.a growth in the tourist industry.C.a reduction in the number of existing industries.D.the development of a number of ser
40、vice industries.(5).Norwegian farmers and fishermen have an important influence because （分数：1.00）A.they form such a large part of Norwegian ideal.B.their lives and values represent the Norwegian ideal.C.their work is so useful to the rest of Norwegian society.D.they regard oil as a threat to the Nor
41、wegian way of life.Passage Three Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage Police fired tear gas and arrested more than 5,000 passively resisting protestors Friday in an attempt to break up the largest antinuclear demonstration ever staged in the United States. More than 135,000 demonstr
42、ators confronted police on the construction site of a 1,000-megawatt nuclear power plant scheduled to provide power to most of southern New Hampshire. Organizers of the huge demonstration said, the protest was continuing despite the police actions. More demonstrators were arriving to keep up the pre
43、ssure on state authorities to cancel the project. The demonstrator had charged that the project was unsafe in the densely populated area, would create thermal pollution in the bay, and had no acceptable means for disposing of its radioactive wasters. The demonstrations would go on until the jails an
44、d the courts were so overloaded that the state judicial system would collapse. Governor Stanforth Thumper insisted that there would be no reconsideration of the power project and no delay in its construction set for completion in three years. “This project will begin on time and the people of this s
45、tate will begin to receive its benefits on schedule. Those who break the law in misguided attempts to sabotage the project will be dealt with according to the law,” he said. And police called in reinforcements from all over the state to handle the disturbances. The protests began before dawn Friday
46、when several thousand demonstrators broke through police lines around the cordoned-off construction site. They carried placards that read “No Nukes is Good Nukes,” “Sunpower, Not Nuclear Power,” and “Stop Private Profits from Public Peril.” They defied police order to move from the area. Tear gas ca
47、nisters fired by police failed to dislodge the protestors who had come prepared with their own gas masks or facecloths. Finally gas-masked and helmeted police charged into the crowd to drag off the demonstrators one by one. The protestors did not resist police, but refused to walk away under their o
48、wn power. Those arrested would be charged with unlawful assembly, trespassing, and disturbing the peace. （分数：5.00）(1).were the demonstrators protesting about? （分数：1.00）A.Private profits.B.Nuclear Power Station.C.The project of nuclear power construction.D.Public peril.(2).Who had gas-masks? （分数：1.00
49、）A.Everybody.B.A part of the protestors.C.Policemen.D.Both B and C.(3).Which of the following was NOT mentioned as a reason for the demonstration? （分数：1.00）A.Public transportation.B.Public peril.C.Pollution.D.Disposal of wastes.(4).With whom were the jails and courts overloaded? （分数：1.00）A.With prisoners.B.With arrested demonstrators.C.With criminals.D.With protestors.(5).What is the attitude of Governor Stanforth
