In the past three years, according to a study, the number of people who study part- time in England has decreased by 42%—the equivalent (等同的)of 106,000 fewer students. Almost half a million students were studying part-time in the past three years, with most of them working at the same time and studying vocational subjects, according to Universities UK(UUK), which conducted the research. The report, which was requested by ministers, said, ''There seems to be many factors responsible for it: the current economic climate limiting employer support for further study and putting pressure on household budgets, changing pathways to higher education and the current changes to the funding system in England and associated increase in tuition fees. Factors such as the rise of apprenticeships(学徒制),increase in private providers (whether for profit or not for profit), and a shift to online learning also have an impact. ''

Professor Sir Eric Thomas, chairman of the review and vice-president of Bristol University, said, ''The reality is that the UK needs more graduates and relies heavily on part-time higher education to meet these fast changing skill needs in a fast changing world. We ignore part-time study's transformative power for individuals and society. While part-time students are a great success story for the UK, something is going wrong. In England in particular, numbers are reducing and do not look like recovering. The situation is highly complex. This review is the beginning of a process of universities working together and with partners to take steps in dealing with this issue. We cannot and must not give up on these students. ''

Rachel Wenstone, vice-president for higher education at the National Union of Students (NUS), said, ''NUS welcomes this report and we are pleased that this issue is getting the attention it deserves. It is incredibly disheartening to see the number of part- time students decreasing. The sector took responsibility in analyzing the issues facing part-time students and it's now time for the sector to take responsibility for dealing with the problems. ''

The university's minister, David Willetts, said, Part-time study brings enormous benefits to individuals, the economy and employers. Tuition fee loans are now available to new part-time students. We will also change the rules which stop people from getting financial support to learn new skills in engineering, technology and computer science part-time. This will make sure that the nation has the skills we need to keep our businesses ahead in the global race. Institutions must also play their part to encourage more part-time study by emphasizing the benefits to future students. I am calling on all universities to make sure that part-time options are highly visible on websites and detailed information about the courses is also up to date.

1.Which of the following is NOT the reason for the decline of the number of part- time students in the UK?

A.The tuition fees have been increased.

B.Many people choose to learn on the Internet.

C.People are too busy with their work and daily lives.

D.Families are short of money to let their members study further.

2.What does Eric Thomas really want to express in Paragraph 2?

A.Part-time higher education is very important in the UK.

B.More graduates in the UK have to improve their skills.

C.Part-time students have been very successful in the UK.

D.Universities in the UK play a key role in attracting part-time students.

3.How does Wenstone feel about the present part-time study in the UK?

A.Puzzled. B.Satisfied.

C.Optimistic. D.Discouraged.

4.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

A.The UK sees the decline of its part-time students

B.Part-time students receive more attention nowadays

C.The UK comes up with ways to attract more part-time students

D.The decline of part-time students has effects on the UK

The number of snow geese arriving in the Arctic each spring to breed has skyrocketed over the past few decades. At first, wildlife biologists saw this as an environmental crisis, pointing to marshes (湿地） where plants were eaten by thousands of hungry birds. In response, the federal government loosened restrictions on snow goose hunting to protect the ecosystem.

But how do the Inuit, in whose backyard this is taking place, view the situation? A recent initiative is giving Inuit wildlife experts the opportunity to lend their knowledge to managing the species. The snow goose study, which is supported in part by Polar Knowledge Board(an　 Inuit organization that manages hunting, trapping and fishing in central Nunavut),asked the experts to share their generations of knowledge about snow geese and their views on what should be done.

＂The community had concerns about controlling the population," says Ron, a community officer for the Inuit Association," and Inuit snow goose knowledge had never been recorded. People wanted to pass on what they knew."

Inuit wildlife experts disagreed with that, considering it wasteful and unnecessary. They felt hunting more snow geese in an organized way, such as paying local hunters a minimal amount of money and distributing the birds to disadvantaged families or operating a limited commercial hunt by employing local people, would be appropriate.

Inuit wildlife experts will meet scientists this fall to search for common ground. They say that while there may be too many snow geese in some areas, it's not a crisis. Biologists now generally agree that there seem to be plenty of undamaged marshes available and newer research shows that some damaged areas can recover.

Conservation planners for the three migratory bird protection zones in the area will use the study's recommendations-an example of how native knowledge can strengthen wildlife management." It is providing people who the decisions affect with a real, practical way to make recommendations and influence what happens," says Vicky Johnston, a biologist and manager with the Canadian Wildlife Service involved in the project.

＂Now that we have recorded and documented Inuit knowledge of snow geese," says Ron, ＂when facing the crisis, other people will be able to use the information to help manage the species, which is fundamental to dealing with it effectively."

1.Which of the following might Inuit wildlife experts agree with?

A.Organizing large commercial hunts.

B.Using snow goose hunting to man's best advantage.

C.Regarding too many snow geese as a crisis.

D.Hunting as many snow geese as possible.

2.What might biologists think about the marshes' future now?

A.It's unpredictable.

B.It's a bit promising.

C.It's too discouraging.

D.It's hard to get better.

3.What does the underlined word "it" in the last paragraph refer to?

A.The crisis.

B.Inuit knowledge.

C.The species.

D.Inuit research.

There has been a dramatic increase in the number of natural disasters over the past few years, and it is assumed that global warming and climate change could cause even more disasters in the future. Some of the world’s leading cities are facing disasters like floods and heat waves.

London

London’s flood defences are getting older. Since 1982, the Thames Barrier(水闸)has protected the city from the threat of flooding, but it was only designed to last until 2030 and close once every two or three years. About 26 years later the barrier now closes five or six times a year and according to Environment Agency predictions, by 2050 the barrier will be closed on almost every tide if the problem is not addressed.

There are 26 underground stations, 400 schools, 16 hospitals, an airport and 80 billion worth of property in London’s flood risk area, so large scale flooding would be disastrous.

Paris

Over a six week period in July and August 2003, more than 1 1,400—mainly elderly people—died in France from dehydration(脱水)and extremely high body temperature in a deadly heat wave. Heat waves of similar intensity(强度)are expected every seven years by 2050, so what can be done to make sure such a disaster does not happen again?

One solution is to have air-conditioners installed in elderly care homes. But this is considered a short-term solution, as the increase in demand for electricity also increases carbon emissions(排放).

In Paris the local authorities are encouraging architects to design new types of buildings such as the building “Flower Tower,” which uses a covering of bamboo to act as a natural air-conditioner.

Shanghai

Shanghai is the fastest growing city on Earth. It has a population of 18 million and is only 4 meters above sea level. Sea levels are predicted to rise by 20 cm within the next century.

An estimated 250，000 people move to Shanghai every year in search of work, placing extra demands on energy consumption. China relies heavily on coal—fired power stations, but these emissions increase temperatures and, in turn, warmer seas increase the risk of typhoons.

1.What problem should be settled now in London?

A．How to protect the city’s property

B．Where to build its flood defences

C．How to use the Thames Barrier to protect the city

D．How to improve the function of the old flood defences

2.Which of the following measures can’t solve the heat wave disaster in Paris?

A．Putting up new types of buildings with a covering of bamboo

B．Having air-conditioners installed in elderly care homes

C．Forbidding the city to build“Flower Tower”

D．Encouraging architects to design new types of buildings

3.The major threats to Shanghai are　　　　　　　 ．

A．increasing population and coal-fired power stations

B．rising sea levels and typhoons

C．extremely high temperature and rising sea levels

D．extra demands on energy consumption and typhoons

4.The purpose of the passage is　　　　 ．

A．to tell us how to protect the big cities

B．to give advice on how to defend natural disasters

C．to explain what causes flood and heat waves

D．to warn us of the increasing natural disasters in big cities

5.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A．Big Cities Facing Big Disasters

B．Big Disasters in the Future

C．The Increase of Natural Disasters

D．Solutions to Natural Disasters
