科目：高中英语 来源： 题型：阅读理解
It’s high time someone spoke up for today’s college students. They’re probably the most hardworking, ambitious people in America and their problems are not properly appreciated.
People like the Secretary of Education simply don’t know what they’re talking about when they knock students. Nor do those who complain about falling academic standards.
The vast majority of the nation’s 12 million students are struggling to pay for their educations. They are part of the invisible workforce. Many hold down full-time jobs. They’re frying hamburgers, photographing weddings, working in construction, and waiting on tables. The fact that they even show up for classes is a wonderful event.
The financial situation of most students explains a lot about what is happening in schools. Why are the traditional courses so unpopular? Why are students flocking to accounting and computer science and any professional programs that seem to lead to careers?
Answer: Today’s working student has been forced into a kind of premature matter-of-fact way of viewing things. Romance is gone. The notion of transforming one’s self through study alone has disappeared. Today’s students seek freedom from manual labor, and the status conferred by a good job.
There are other consequences. Today’s students don’t have much time or energy to be devoted, and carry out independent research or even do serious homework. That’s the secret behind falling academic standards. Students have become consumers. They want grades and certifications. Their professors can’t be expected to give a grade of failure to students who are clearly tired from the effort to pay their bills.
There’s a lot wrong with this situation. It’s twisting the definition of education out of shape. Worse, it’s creating a generation that is totally unpleasant. The brightest students turn out to be yuppies (雅皮士). The vast majority are, at least, good-natured semi-literates.
The time has run out for philosophical debates about fixed courses of study. What this country needs is someone to stand up and say that being a full-time student during one’s formative years is an honorable calling worthy of support. If families can’t or won’t give it to their children, then the government should.
1.The author’s purpose in writing this article is to __________.
awaken the whole society to the problems today’s college students face
warn Americans that academic standards are falling
advise college students to study hard
provide a suggestion that only full-time students be enrolled
2.The most suitable word to describe the author’s feelings about today’s college students is _________.
A. criticize B. sympathize C. complain D. urge
3.Which of the following cannot be learned from the passage?
Many students are often absent from classes.
Traditional courses are not popular.
Students commit crimes with computers.
Students don’t devote much time and energy to their homework.
4.By saying “Romance is gone” in paragraph 5, the author means ____________.
today’s students do not believe in love stories any more
today’s students become more practical in dealing with things
students think there is no affection any more and break up with their lovers
today’s students hold matter-of-fact opinions on love
5.Which of the following suggestions will the author not agree with?
We should encourage students to give up full-time jobs.
Families should offer their children more help financially.
We should stand up and say something for today’s college students.
D．We should make more strict regulations to force students to study hard.

Everybody has one of those days when everything goes wrong. This is what happened to Harry.
He got up one morning very late because he had forgotten to wind up his alarm clock. He tried to shave（刮脸）quickly and cut himself. When he got dressed he got blood all over his clean shirt, so he had to find another one. The only other shirt that was clean needed ironing（熨）, so he ironed it. While he was ironing it, there was a knock at the door. It was the man to read the electricity meter（表）. He showed him where the meter was, said good-bye and found that the iron had burnt a hole in his shirt. So he had to wear the one with the blood on it after all.

Once upon a time there were two brothers who lived near each other. One day, they had a 16 because of some small things. And neither was willing to 17 each other.
One morning, there was a knock at door of the elder brother. He 18 it and found a man standing beside the door. “I’m a carpenter(木匠). I’m 19 a few days’ work. Perhaps you would have a few small jobs I could help with.”
“Yes,” said the elder brother. “I do have a job for you. 20 at that farm across the small river. It is my younger brother’s. We had a quarrel, so I won’t like to see his 21 any more. I want you to build me a 8-foot 22. ”
The man said, “I think I understand the situation. Don’t worry. I’ll be able to do a job that makes you 23” So the elder brother was very glad and left for the town nearby.
In the evening, the carpenter had just 24 his job when the elder brother returned. But he was 25 to find, instead of a fence, before him, stood a 2 6, which went from one side of the river 27 the other! On the other 28 of bridge, was his younger brother.
“Do you know the name of the bridge?” The carpenter asked.
“No,” the elder brother was 29
“OK, I can tell you. Its name is understanding and 30,” the carpenter smiled.
Suddenly they began to understand 31. Surely, between two brothers there should be a bridge rather than a 32. Standing on the bridge, they 33each other’s hands with 34 in their eyes.
“Could you stay another few days? I’ve a lot of other work for you,” said the elder brother. “I’d love to 35 on,” the carpenter said. “But I have many more bridges to build.”

For many managers, “team building” means two days spent doing role-playing exercises in a conference hotel far from head office. But perhaps a more effective way to build teams is simply by playing real team sports, such as soccer, cricket(板球) or softball.
David Clark, a project manager at Atisreal
Louise Aston, human resources director, says, “Not only does it promote health, but it can knock leadership on the head. The person who’s best at soccer could well be a fellow who works in the warehouse(仓库). Then this confidence will be built.”
Another reason companies are eager to promote team sports is that they are relatively cheap. Peter Mills, chief health officer at Vielife, says, “The contributions a company might make towards running a sports team － paying its league fees, for example － are pretty small compared to other expenditure(开支) in the field of health.”
However, experts warn people that there is a potential downside. Sports are, by their nature, competitive and not everyone is good at them. “There are people who can be a bit shy and you need to ensure you don’t ignore them. So you might use introductory days that only beginners go to. The emphasis is on sports such as soccer and netball, but by way of recognition that not everyone likes sweaty exercise, there is also chess,” they say.
As a whole, managers should take different measures to build teams according to the characters of different people.

For many managers,"team building" means two days spent doing role－playing exercises

head office.But perhaps a more effective way to build teams is
simply by playing real team sports,such as soccer,cricket or softball.
David Clark,a project manager at Atisreal UK,is one of the organizers of the company's
two soccer teams.He says the main point is fitness but it also has another adv
antage:"It gives
the guys a chance to meet and relax with their peers (同等地位的人) from other departments.
It builds cross－company relationships."
Louise Aston,a human resourc
es director,takes a similar view,pointing out that as well as
bringing_disparate_divisions_together,sport cuts through hierarchies (等级制度):"Not only
does it promote health,it can knock leadership on the head.The person who's best at soccer
could well be a person who works in the warehouse (库房)．Then his confidence will be built."
Another reason companies would like to promote team sports is that they are relatively
cheap.Peter Mills,chief health officer at Vielife,says:"The contributions a company might make
towards running a sports team-paying its league fees,for example-are pretty small compared
to other expenditure in the field of well－being."
However,he warns,there is a potential downside.Sports are,by their nature,competitive
and not everyone is good at them:"There are people who can be a bit selfconscious and you
need to ensure you don't marginalize (忽视) them.So you might use introductory days that
