21、 There is a chill wind blowing through the campus of Keele University these days and it’s nothing to do with the weather.
Students fear the recession(经济衰退) and the downturn in graduate recruitment may mean their studies lead them nowhere. Students’ Union president Talah Omran AI Rubaie already has her degree, and will give up her union post this summer, but she’s not looking forward to launching herself onto the job market.She said, “For most of us, the fact that you are graduating today or tomorrow but might not be able to get a job is a very scary prospect.I think it also has an impact on the students that have just graduated from high school, who’re thinking ‘Is it worth coming to university, is it worth getting a degree?’”
In the Union café, students’ life goes on as it always has.But these undergraduates know the bubble of academia will not protect them from the recession for long.Particularly over Christmas and Easter when you’re only home for months, no one’s got any jobs to give out for a few weeks.
As the recession deepens, some students find themselves in a dilemma: to stay at university, continue their studies, and hope the graduate job market improves by the time they leave, or to start right now and take a job, any job, so they don’t get left on the employment shelf.
Keele’s performance in the graduate jobs market has been good so far.The latest figures available show 95% of students leaving do get a job, but that was before the economy fell off a cliff, and the university is working hard to equip its students with the skills to compete in an ever gloomier employment field.
【1】What is the purpose of paragraph 1?
A.To attract the readers. B.To present the opinion.
C.To introduce the Keele University. D.To describe the British weather.
【2】Why did Keele have a good performance in the graduate job market?
A.Its students are well-equipped with necessary skills for competition.
B.Its students care little about whether the jobs they get are good or not.
C.Its students are well-protected by the bubble of academia from the recession.
D.Its students are not bothered by whether to step into real society right now or not.
【3】What is the text mainly about?
A.Graduates of Keele University are faced with a dilemma.
B.To find a job is difficult for the students of Keele University.
C.The recession does impact the graduates of Keele University.
D.Keele University is trying its best to help its graduates to get a good job.
22、Chris Rishworth is a travelling cyclist who would take photos along the journey. He regards it as killing three birds with one stone. Besides exercising, he can also improve his photography skills and raise money for the children in need through holding a photography show. In the past five years, Chris has raised more than one million dollars and helped more than 30 orphans (孤儿) complete primary and secondary school education.
Chris’ photographs have a very wide range of aspects, including impressive natural sceneries, attractive local conditions and customs, and mysterious historic sites, etc， but he believes the most heart-shaking one is the photo of a baby wallaby (沙袋鼠）. It was on August 5th when Chris was on his way to ride through Magnetic Island. Chris saw a helpless baby rock wallaby trying to get into its dead mother s pouch (育儿袋）.The deep brake marks and pieces of glass indicated that the mother wallaby was killed by a car. The sight shook his heart so much that Chris was almost astonished for a while. After taking a photo of this heartbreaking moment, Chris placed the baby wallaby into the basket of his bike and took it to the local wildlife rescue shelter. The workers told Chris, “ It’s quite common to find baby wallabies attracted to their dead mothers — often due to the road kill on Magnetic Island. ” Hearing this, Chris decided to send the photo to related departments to promote further measures to avoid such things happening again.
Rock wallabies have had a tough history in their native country, Australia, as they struggle to fight against extreme weather and keep up with other competitors. The Australian government took a series of protective measures and fought against hunting activities effectively, which made the number of rock wallabies increase. But now, with the development of Magnetic Island, a lot of trucks and private cars flood in, which breaks the previous peace. Experts of the Wildlife Conservation Society ( WCS) warn that self-driving travelers and truck drivers should pay attention to the wild animals on the road or by the roadside while driving.
【1】How does Chris find his trip?
A．It brings him fortune.
B．Its influence is worldwide.
C．Its result is satisfactory.
D．It makes his dream come true.
【2】What made Chris realize the cause of the mother wallaby's death?
A．The heartbreaking photo.
B．The workers’ words.
C．His travel experience.
D．The signs of the scene.
【3】What may be the best title for the passage?
A．A Beautiful Australian Island Discovered by a Travelling Cyclist
B．A Heartbreaking Moment Photographed by a Travelling Cyclist
C．A Wonderful Photography Show Held by a Travelling Cyclist
D．A Badly Injured Baby Wallaby Saved by a Travelling Cyclist
23、In the United States, most cities have public libraries. Inside most libraries are thousands of books — and sometimes more — many of which are available for taking home. Of course, you have to bring any book you borrow back to the library when you’re done.
Libraries help people find information. As the ways people find information change, libraries also need to do something. The Internet is a tool that helps people find information much faster than if they were to look up in books. That transforms libraries, and a lot of libraries have begun using computers and technology to help people keep learning.
The New York Public Library (NYPL) is the most famous library in New York City. It was opened in 1911. Since the library is old, bringing in new technology is not easy. However, it now has computers in every building. You can use the computers to go on the Internet or to write a paper. The librarians will help if you have a question and there are even free classes to help people learn how to use new computer programs. But this is only the beginning of how the library wants to use technology.
In the basement of the library, there is a room filled with computer programmers and designers who are bringing new technology to the library. This place is called the NYPL Labs. Ben runs the NYPL Labs and wants to help the library reach more people. He runs projects using “crowdsourcing”. For example, Ben is currently using the Internet to find people to deal with the library’s collection of menus. The library has thousands and thousands of old menus. You can see what people ate in the year 1900 and find out how much that food cost.
In the past, only people in New York could use the New York Public Library. Now, the library is online and everyone can enjoy it. Thanks to technology, we have a new kind of library.
【1】Why has US libraries turned to technology?
A．Paper books are less popular now.
B．The Internet makes information easily found.
C．More and more people don’t visit libraries.
D．Their complex procedure causes inconvenience.
【2】According to paragraph 3, the NYPL ________.
A．is the most well-known in the US
B．has a nearly 100-year-long history
C．meets much opposition to new technology
D．helps people to follow its transformation
【3】What does “crowdsourcing” underlined in paragraph 4 mean?
A．Getting people to assist in the project.
B．Researching old menus in the library.
C．Teaching people how to use the Internet.
D．Updating the library by advanced technology.
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A．The new NYPL influences people’s life.
B．Online libraries replace traditional ones.
C．Technology and computers change the NYPL.
D．US public libraries are under transformation.
