28、HEET 1. 45 Students graduating from colleges today are not fully prepared to deal with the“ real world“. It is my belief that college students need to be taught more skills and information to enable them to meet the challenges that face everyone in daily life. The areas in which students need traini
29、ng are playing the credit game, planning their personal financial strategy, and consumer awareness. Learning how to obtain and use credit, cardsis probably the most valuable knowledge a young person can have. Credit card is a dangerous tool that can be of tremendous help if it is handled with cautio
30、n. Having credit cards can enable people to obtain material necessities before they have the money to purchase them. But unfortunately, many young people get carried away with their handy plastic credit cards and awake one day to find they are in serious financial debt. Learning how to use credit ca
31、rds properly can be a very difficult and painful lesson indeed. Of equal importance is learning how to plan a personal budget. People have to know how to control money; otherwise, it can control them. Students should learn how to set aside their money for living expenses, insurance, savings, and so
32、forth in order to avoid the“ Oh, no ! Ive no money and I dont get paid again for two weeks!“ anxiety conditions. Along with learning about credit and personal financial planning, graduating college students should be trained as consumers. The consumer market today is flooded with a variety of produc
33、ts and services of varying quality and prices. A young person entering the“ real world“ is suddenly faced with difficult decisions about which product to buy or whose services to engage. He is usually unaware of such things as return policies, guarantees, or repair procedures. Information of this so
34、rt is vital knowledge to everyday living. For a newly graduated college student, the“ real world“ can be a scary place to be when he or she is faced with such issues as handling credit, planning a budget, or knowing what to look for when making a purchase and whom to purchase it from. Entering this“
35、 real world“ could be made less painful if persons were educated in dealing with these areas of daily life. What better place to accomplish this than in college? 46 According to the writer, graduating students_. （ A） find it hard to get a job with only knowledge gained from college （ B） do not deser
36、ve a college diploma because of insufficient skills and knowledge （ C） cannot earn enough money to support themselves （ D） do not have necessary knowledge and skills to deal with real life 47 The writer points out that many young people_. （ A） fall into debt due to ill-advised use of credit cards （
37、B） have to depend on credit to purchase some material necessities （ C） do not know how to use credit cards and easily run into serious debt （ D） start buying too much on credit before they get a job 48 Students suffer from anxiety conditions because _. （ A） they do not have their parents financial s
38、upport （ B） they are worded that they dont get paid on time （ C） they run out of money and cant cover their living expenses （ D） they cant afford to buy insurance for themselves 49 As consumers students need training because this enables them to_. （ A） handle their credit cards with caution （ B） con
39、trol their money carefully so that they dont go broke （ C） make wise purchasing decisions and be informed about consumer services （ D） cope with serious financial problems 50 By asking“ What better place to accomplish this than in college?“ the writer means that_. （ A） the best place to train studen
40、ts to deal with personal financial issues is in college （ B） students should be trained to enter the real world after they graduate from college （ C） students should be trained in business and economics in college （ D） students should he taught to cope with the difficulties they will lace after grad
41、uation 50 It was once thought that air pollution affected only the area immediately around large cities with factories or heavy automobile traffic. Today, we know that although these are the areas with the worst air pollution, the problem is literally worldwide. On several occasions over the past de
42、cade, a heavy cloud of air pollution has covered the entire eastern halt of the United States and led to health warning even in rural areas away from any major concentration of manufacturing and automobile traffic. In fact, the very climate of the entire earth may be affected by air pollution. Some
43、scientists feel that the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the air resulting from the burning of coal and oil is creating a “greenhouse effect“ holding in heat reflected from the earth and raising the worlds average temperature. If this view is correct and the worlds temperature is raise
44、d only a few degrees, much of the polar ice cap will melt and cities such as New York, Boston, Miami, and New Orleans will be under water. Another view, less widely held, is that increasing particulate matter in the atmosphere is blocking sunlight and lowering the earths temperature a result that wo
45、uld be equally disastrous. A drop of just a few degrees could create something close to new ice age and would make agriculture difficult or impossible in many of our top fanning areas. At present we do not know for sure that either of these conditions will happen ( though one recent government repor
46、t prepared by experts in the field concluded that the greenhouse effect is very likely). Perhaps, if we are very lucky, the two tendencies will offset each other and the worlds temperature will stay about the same as it is now. 51 According to the text, people used to think that air pollution_. （ A）
47、 caused health problem in the countryside （ B） influenced the entire eastern half of the United States （ C） had damaging effect in the whole world （ D） existed only in urban and industrial areas 52 Paragraph 1 implies that_. （ A） coal and oil are the main cause of the greenhouse effect （ B） increasi
48、ng gathering of carbon dioxide in the air is the main cause of greenhouse effect （ C） greenhouse effect will cause ten degrees increase in temperature （ D） the polar ice cap will cover New York under water 53 It can be inferred from the text that_. （ A） raising the temperature several degrees will n
49、ot do much harm to earth life （ B） temperature will change dramatically in the coming years （ C） lowering the temperature a few degrees will be very harmful in fanning （ D） temperature will remain constant in the future 54 According to the text the word“ offset“ in ( Line 6, Para. 2 ) means_. （ A） pat up （ B） set up （ C） make up for （ D） catch up with 55 The best title of this passage would be_. （ A） T
