21、ng A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 50 As long as her parents can remember, 13-year-old Katie Hart has been talking about going to college. Her mother, Tally, a financial-aid officer at a California University, knows all too well the daunting thing of paying for a college education
22、. Last year the average yearly tuition at a private, four-year school climbed 5.5 percent to more than $17,000. The Harts have started saving, and figure they can afford a public university without a problem. But what if Katie applies to Princeton (shes threatening), where one years tuition, room an
23、d boardalmost $34, 000 in 2007will cost more than some luxury cars? Even a number cruncher like Tally admits its a little scary, especially since shell retire and Katie will go to college at around the same time. Paying for college has always been a hard endeavor. The good news: last year students c
24、ollected $ 74 billion in financial aid, the most ever. Most families pay less than full freight. Sixty percent of public-university students and three quarters of those at private colleges receive some form of financial aidmostly, these days, in the form of loans. But those numbers are not as encour
25、aging as they appear for lower-income families, because schools are changing their formulas for distributing aid. Eager to boost their magazine rankings, which are based in part on the test scores of entering freshmen, theyre throwing more aid at smarter kidswhether they need it or not. The best way
26、 to prepare is to start saving early. A new law passed last year makes that easier for some families. So-called 529 plans allow parents to sock away funds in federal-tax-free-investment accounts, as long as the money is used for “qualified education expenses“ like tuition, room and board. The plans
27、arent for everyone. For tax reasons, some lower and middle income families may be better off choosing other investments. But saving is vital. Whens the best time to start? “Sometime,“ says Jack Joyce of the College Board, “between the maternity ward and middle school. “ Aid packages usually come in
28、some combination of grants, loans and jobs. These days 60 percent of all aid comes in the form of low-interest loans. All students are eligible for “unsubsidized“ federal Stafford loans, which let them defer interest payments until after graduation. Students who can demonstrate need can also qualify
29、 for federal Perkins loans or “subsidized“ Staffords, where the government pays the interest during school. Fortunately, this is a borrower s market. “Interest rates are at their lowest level in the history of student loans,“ says Mark Kantrowitz, publisher of Finaid. Kantrowitz expects rates to fal
30、l even further when theyre reviewed this summer. Traditional scholarships, academic or athletic, are still a part of many families planning. Mack Reiter, a 17-year-old national wrestling champion, gets so many recruiting letters he throws most away. Hell almost certainly get a free ride. Without it,
31、 “we would really be in a bind,“ says his mother, Janet. For everyone else, its worth the effort to pick through local and national scholarship offerings, which can be found on Web sites like college-board, com. 51 What does the author intend to illustrate with the example of the Harts? （ A） The dif
32、ficulty of paying the tuition. （ B） The far-sight of the parents. （ C） The promising future of Katie. （ D） The increasing tuition in the university. 52 What can we infer from the second paragraph? （ A） Some families are too poor to pay the full amount of the tuition. （ B） The parents do not favor th
33、e form of loans. （ C） Paying the tuition makes the parents feel humble. （ D） Those who are in great need may not get what they need. 53 The last paragraph suggests that _. （ A） many recruiting letters failed to provide Mack Reiter with scholarships （ B） mack Reiter wanted to help his family go out o
34、f the trouble （ C） traditional scholarships are a good solution to the tuition problems in some families （ D） mack Reiter was very proud of his national wrestling championship 54 What does the author mean by “better off“ ( Line 4, Paragraph 3)? （ A） Richer. （ B） Wiser. （ C） Happier. （ D） Luckier. 55
35、 Which of the following is true according to the text? （ A） The Harts prefer a public university to a private one. （ B） It is much easier to pay the tuition at present. （ C） All students can get the aid package. （ D） Traditional scholarships are still attractive to some families. 55 It was late in t
36、he afternoon, and I was putting the final touch on a piece of writing that I was feeling pretty good about. I wanted to save it, but my cursor had frozen. I tried to shut the computer down, and it seized up altogether. Unsure of what else to do, I yanked (用力猛拉 ) the battery out. Unfortunately, Windo
37、ws had been in the midst of a delicate and crucial undertaking. The next morning, when I turned my computer back on, it informed me that a file had been corrupted and Windows would not load. Then, it offered to repair itself by using the Windows Setup CD. I opened the special drawer where I keep CDs
38、, but no Windows CD in there. I was forced to call the computer companys Global Support Centre. My call was answered by a woman in some unnamed, far-off land. I find it annoying to make small talk with someone when I dont know what continent theyre standing on. Suppose I were to comment on the beaut
39、iful weather weve been having when there was a monsoon at the other end of the phone? So I got right to the point. “My computer is telling me a file is corrupted and it wants to fix itself, but I dont have the Windows Setup CD.“ “So youre having a problem with your Windows Setup CD.“ She has apparen
40、tly been dozing and, having come to just as the sentence ended, was attempting to cover for her inattention. It quickly became clear that the woman was not a computer technician. Her job was to serve as a gatekeeper, a human shield for the technicians. Her sole duty, as far as I could tell, was to r
41、aise global stress levels. To make me disappear, the woman gave me the phone number for Windows creator, Microsoft. This is like giving someone the phone number for, I dont know, North America. Besides, the CD worked; I just didnt have it. No matter how many times I repeated my story, we came back t
42、o the same place. She was calm and resolutely polite. When my voice hit a certain decibel (分贝 ), I was passed along, like a hot, irritable potato, to a technician. “You dont have the Windows Setup CD, maam, because you dont need it,“ he explained cheerfully. “Windows came preinstalled on your comput
43、er!“ “But I do need it. “ “Yes, but you dont have it.“ We went on like this for a while. Finally, he offered to walk me through the use of a different CD, one that would erase my entire system. “Of course, you d lose all your e-mail, your documents, your photos.“ It was like offering to drop a safe
44、on my head to cure my headache. “You might be able to recover them, but it would be expensive.“ He sounded delighted. “And its not covered by the warranty (产品保证书 )!“ The safe began to seem like a good idea, provided it was full. I hung up the phone and drove my computer to a small, friendly repair p
45、lace Id heard about. A smart, helpful man dug out a Windows CD and told me it wouldnt be a problem. An hour later, he called to let me know it was ready. I thanked him, and we chatted about the weather, which was the same outside my window as it was outside his. 56 Why did the author shut down her c
46、omputer abruptly? （ A） She had saved what she had written. （ B） She couldnt move the cursor. （ C） The computer refused to work. （ D） The computer offered to repair itself. 57 Which of the following is the authors opinion about the woman at the Global Support Centre? （ A） She sounded helpful and know
47、ledgeable. （ B） She was there to make callers frustrated. （ C） She was able to solve her computer problem. （ D） She was quick to pass her along to a technician. 58 According to the passage, the solution offered by the technician was _. （ A） effective （ B） economical （ C） unpractical （ D） unacceptabl
48、e 59 “It was like offering to drop a safe on my head to cure my headache“ in the last but one paragraph means that_. （ A） the technicians proposal would make things even worse （ B） the technicians proposal could eventually solve the problem （ C） files stored on her computer were like a safe （ D） era
49、sing the entire system was like curing a headache 60 It can be inferred from the passage that the differences between the Global Support Centre and the local re- pair shop lie in all the following EXCEPT_. （ A） efficiency （ B） location （ C） Setup CDs （ D） attitude 60 Womens minds work differently from mens. At least, that is what most men are convinced of. Psychologists view the subject either as a matter o
