Olga: Thats a lot of information! Xavier: Well, a person who wants it must have a
3、good reason for obtaining it, so essentially only faculty staff can get it. They have Q24 to fill out a request form whenever they want this information. Of course, they can approach the student directly and get it from them . Olga: Can a student stop people accessing their information? Q25 Xavier:
4、Let me see Yes It says that a student may suppress the above public information items by completing and submitting a public directory information form. Forms may be obtained from the office.

8、ructor by midterm of the following term and Q27 request a review and an accounting of how the grade was determined. If the student is satisfied with the response, the procedure ends.

The department head will Q29 proceed to review the grade by gathering all relevant information from the student and the instructor. If the department head
10、determines that an error has occurred, and the instructor is in agreement, the students grade will be changed accordingly.

15、原文】 Presenter: Good morning, everyone. My name is William Clarke and Im here to tell you about my survey of the six highest paying jobs in the United States at the moment. First, Id just like to give you an overview of the six jobs, before going into more detail. Bear in mind that commanding the hig
16、hest salaries often comes at a price. Most of these high paying jobs require considerable schooling and being able to handle considerable stress and responsibility. First on the list are doctors. If you were to separate them out, anaesthesiologists, general internists, obstetricians and gynaecologis
17、ts, psychiatrists, and surgeons all make over $145,600 a year, while family and general practitioners make $140,000 and paediatricians earning an average of $136,000 Q31 yearly are at the bottom of the medical pay scale. All that money comes at a price: doctors must go through four years of undergra
18、duate schooling, four Q32 years of medical school, and then 3 to 7 or more years in residencies before being able to practice on their own. Second on the list are dentists. Specialists like orthodontists, prosthodontists Q33 and oral or maxillo-facial surgeons all make over $145,000 annually. Meanwh
19、ile, general dentists average $125,000 a year. Like doctors, dentists and dental specialists must go through four years of college, four years of medical school and then residencies before they can practice. Third, perhaps surprisingly to many of you, we have chief executives. CEOs make an average o
20、f $142,400 a year, and the highest paid earn many millions. You may think that is rather low, but remember that the chief executives of Microsoft are not typical chief executives! Though a college education is not always required for this position, especially if you are CEO of your own company, two-
21、thirds of CEOs have a bachelors degree or higher, Q34 often in business or public administration. CEOs are highly paid for their skills, knowledge, and ability in a wide variety of areas. Therefore, people Q35 are usually expected to have substantial work experience before they can become CEOs. Four
22、th, we have airline pilots, co-pilots, and flight engineers. Airline pilots and their supporting personnel make an average of $138,200. Traditionally Q36 , the military has been an important source for recruiting commercial pilots. However, people may become pilots and flight engineers by attending
23、FAA-certified flight schools. Nearly four out of five pilots has a bachelors degree, Q37 and this number is expected to grow in coming years. The highest paying pilots work on large passenger planes, but ones working as crop dusters, test pilots, cargo pilots, rescue crews, etc, can command good sal
24、aries as well. Fifth, there are air traffic controllers. Air traffic controllers have an average yearly salary of $107,600. The competition for the 24,000 openings is stiff, but job security is excellent once someone has been hired. To be eligible Q38 to be an air traffic controller, a person must h
25、ave four years of college or three years of work experience, making it one of the highest paying jobs where college is not strictly necessary. Would-be air traffic controllers should like learning, though, as applicants must go through 12 weeks of schooling, Q39 and then receive continuing education
26、 once hired. Sixth the final job on this list we have astronomers. Yes, at $104,700 a year, astronomers are among the highest paid professionals, but they are also among the rarest: there are only about 800 astronomers in the entire United States. Astronomers are expected to get doctoral degrees in
27、astronomy or astrophysics, and have a profound command of math, physics, and computing. Q40 Most astronomers work for the government particularly NASA and academia. 31 【正确答案】 C 32 【正确答案】 B 33 【正确答案】 B 34 【正确答案】 B 35 【正确答案】 C 36 【正确答案】 military 37 【正确答案】 bachelors degree 38 【正确答案】 job security 39 【正确答案】 12 weeks 40 【正确答案】 math(s), physics, computing
