阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、和 D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Picking a university is a tense period of asking yourself which institution is most relevant. That's why university rankings play such a vital role in students searching for their next academic direction. Rankings are also an inescapable part of the reputation and brand image of universities. "No university website is complete without the claim to be in the top 100 for something or other," reported the BBC. The reason is simple: Rankings help them to attract students, staff and research investment.
Currently there are numbers of university rankings, and each has its own list of standards. But the main standards are the same: academic reputation, graduates' performance and faculty(教师) resources.
However, experts point out the ranking process isn't entirely reliable. Mark Kantrowitz, a US financial aid researcher, said university rankings were mostly just for show. He wrote in The New York Times. “It may give your parents better bragging(炫耀) rights, but that's about it.”
Moreover, it's not difficult to see the limitations of university rankings. Many rankings focus on the number of times research work is cited (引用) by other researchers. It helps British and US universities to dominate (支配) global rankings because English is the favored language of academia, John O'Leary, a member of the QS academic advisory board, told The Guardian.
Also, rankings such as QS mainly focus on the qualities of the university rather than its students. “Any university ranking is likely to help students make better decisions about where to study, but the need to balance them with other more human factors is also important,” said Phil Moss, an education and admissions consultant.“Advice from graduates or current students can be as valuable in providing a genuine insight(洞察) into the experience or quality of a particular degree program. It can also add an element that rankings can never convey---the actual emotion of a university experience.”
【1】Why do universities consider rankings important?
A. Rankings make them more appealing.
B. Rankings are students' only reference.
C. Rankings can increase their academic level.
D. Rankings help them complete their websites.
【2】What does the underlined "It" in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Academic research work.
B. The number of researches.
C. The way of ranking universities.
D. The limitation of university ranking.
【3】According to John O'Leary, what helps British and US universities rank well?
A. The wide use of English in academia.
B. Their outstanding qualities.
C. Their graduates' excellent performance.
D. The academia's favor to them.
【4】Besides ranking, what does Phil Moss suggest you should refer to if you're picking a university?
A. Investment in education.
B. Guidance from professors.
C. Information on websites.
D. Suggestions from students.
23、A start-up company in California, called Zume, is testing machines that make pizza. The robot takes and shapes dough to create the base of the pizza. It then adds tomato sauce, cheese, meat or other toppings. Next, the robot places the uncooked pizza into a hot oven. A few minutes later, the pizza is ready. The pizza comes out the same each time. Zume says the robots work quickly and do not get sick. The robots do not get paid either.
Julia Collins is the company’s founder and chief executive officer (CEO). Her business can spend money on better food products because it does not have to pay the robots. Zume is using robots to make pizza.
Charity Suzuki has bought the robot-made pizza. She likes its taste. “It’s delicious. It’s always hot and fresh when it comes. I mean it’s great that they’re making it, but I can’t tell the difference that it’s made by a robot versus a human.”
The companies say they are developing robots so people can get higher quality food faster. But what about the jobs the robots are taking from humans?
Ken Goldberg is a professor at the University of California in Berkeley. He also directs the school’s automation laboratory. Goldberg said researchers have been working with robots for 50 years. He said that, while there has been progress, the jobs are not going to disappear right away. “I want to reassure restaurant workers that the skills that they have are still going to be of value,” Goldberg said.
“We’re going to get rid of boring, repetitive, dangerous jobs and we’re going to free up people to do things that have higher value. There’s going to be amazing new ways of working that don’t exist yet that are going to be created.”
【1】Why can Zume devote more money on better food products?
A. It earns a lot by selling pizza.
B. It wants to create more robots.
C. It can save a lot by using robots.
D. It hopes to attract more customers.

A. It really agrees with her.
B. It is hot and fresh all the time.
C. It is tastier than the man-made.
D. It is delicious and free of charge.
【3】What’s the benefit of robots’ making pizza?

B. They help sick people.
C. They need little payment.
D. They produce more food.
【4】What does Goldberg think of the jobs of restaurant workers?
A. Disappearing. B. Boring.
C. Dangerous. D. Necessary.
24、 The annual Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show has been a major marketing event for Victoria’s Secret for more than two decades. Over the years, it grew into a luxurious fashion show, with music from pop stars,plus bright costumes and diamond decorated dresses. However, the fashion show is about to undergo a big change. The lavish event, featuring some of the world’s top models performing in its signature costumes, will no longer air on network television on account of the declining television ratings and increased criticism.
People aren’t watching like they used to. According to The Times, the show’s viewership has dropped about 2/3 within five years. Last year the show dropped to 3. 3 million viewers from 9. 7million viewers in 2013. Besides, its reluctance to change has been made even more obvious with the emergence of competitors like Rihanna’s company Savage X Fenty,American Eagle Outfitter Inc’s Aerie and ThirdLove, which aim to be more friendly to women of different shapes, colors and backgrounds. To some extent,the days of network television viewers being able to admire supermodels in Victoria’s Secret costumes performing on the catwalk are over.
Leslie Wexner,the chief executive of L Brands which is the parent company of Victoria’s Secret said in a statement that he and his colleagues are taking a fresh look at every aspect of the business from advertising, marketing and brand positioning,todigital business and cost accounting.
“Fashion is a business of change. We must evolve and change to grow.” Wexner said the company will focus the rest of the year on developing exciting content and it will push the boundaries of fashion in the global digital age.
Since the annual event attracts hundreds of celebrities, high-profile entertainers and performers each year,the influence of this fashion show still couldn’t be ignored. Changes may pave new ways for its favorable development and a major makeover will boost the careers of supermodels as always, and provide them with a more excellent platform.
