Unlike China, where the majority of society belongs to the Han ethnic group, the United States is home to people from many different ethnic and cultural backgrounds, creating great diversity within its lively society.

However, historical events that created this diversity also led to racial disputes and prejudice that have lasted until today. Around days like Martin Luther King Day, people in the US are especially sensitive to racist comments and behavior.

Recently, a Facebook message posted by a white student at my boarding school started a wave of anger among African American students and started heated conversations about minority groups at the school.

The students posted an article written by someone else who stated that Robert E. Lee, a Confederate general during the US Civil War, should be commemorated(纪念). As the Confederates broke from the Union in order to keep slavery in their states, they were usually seen as racists. The post received a flood of comments from both white and black students within minutes, and conversation about the topic spread across campus quickly.

A fishbowl conversation was organized the evening the article was posted, and students and faculty (学院) members talked about their feelings and opinions. During the discussion, students from minority groups, including African American, Jewish, Asian and Indian students, spoke up about how they felt about living in a society mainly made up of people who are different from them. It turned out that many people felt isolated because of their differences from other people.

The diversity of society can open up interesting opportunities, but the great differences between people can also create huge gaps and misunderstandings if they are not treated carefully. Thus, effective communication is essential.

After the fishbowl conversation, the atmosphere in the school seemed to be changing, at least from my point of view. Students seemed to be talking and acting more freely than before, and the expressions of judgement were seen less on their faces.

1.The main purpose of Paragraph 1 is to ______.

A.draw attention to the fact that racial problems still exist in America.

B.show that the United States has a wonderfully diverse culture.

C.explain how sensitive people in the US are to racist comments and behavior.

D.point out the differences between American culture and those of other countries.

2.Which of the following statements is TRUE? ______.

A.The post was offensive to black students.

B.The post was aimed at African American students.

C.The author of he post was strongly in favor of slavery.

D.The author of the post held a negative attitude toward minority groups.

3.According to the article, the fishbowl conversation was held mainly to ______.

A.figure out whether the article should be posted or not.

B.educate students on how to express their opinions appropriately.

C.improve the lives of people who belongs to minority groups on campus.

D.get people to communicate how they felt and thought about the post.

4.What did the author learn from the incident? ______.

A.We should learn to live with others’ differences.

B.We should always feel free to share our feelings.

C.Effective communication is very important in a diverse society.

D.If there is no difference, then there is no misunderstanding.

“It is obvious that China will climb up university rankings in the years to come.”This statement from Phil Baty, editor of the Times Higher Education World University Rankings, lines up with China’s optimism that it will produce world-class universities. But there are still difficulties to overcome, experts say.

Universities from China’s mainland slipped in the 2011-2012 Times’ global rankings. Peking University dropped 12 places from last year to 49th, and Tsinghua University fell to 71st place. Among Asian universities, Peking is ranked No. 4 and Tsinghua No. 8.

A combination of factors determines rankings — research output, study environment, reputation and international outlook.

Due to China’s economic development, investment (投入) in education and research has increased, but the quality of education and research in Chinese academia seems not to have kept pace.

The gauge (判定标准) is the number of papers published in highly respected English-language journals, so while many papers are being produced in China, it appears not all are good enough to attract international attention.

Still, higher education in China is developing quickly, thanks in part to huge government investment. China spent an amount equal to 3.69 percent of GDP on education last year, according to Ministry of Finance data.

China has the largest and one of the fastest growing higher education systems in the world — 2,723 schools for 31 million students. Enrollment (入学人数) has increased more than four times from 2001 to 2011.

1.What’s Phil Baty’s attitude towards the future of Chinese universities?

A. Unconcerned.　　 　　 B. Uncertain.

C. Optimistic.　　　　　　 D. Worried.

2.What was Peking University’s place in the 2010 Times’ global rankings?

A. No. 4.　 B. No. 37.　　　　　　 C. No. 49.　　　　 D. No. 59.

3.All the following are factors that determine a university’s ranking EXCEPT _____.

A. the quantity of its published papers

B. how good its study environment is

C. the number of its graduates

D. how well-known it is

4.What is the problem with papers produced in China?

A. Lack of variety.

B. Lack of quality.

C. Not being translated well.

D. Not being tested enough.

China is now sending more college students to study in the United States than any other country. A new report shows a 23 percent increase in the number of Chinese students coming to the U.S.

The latest edition of the annual Institute of International Education (IIE) and another US institute found a 5 percent rise in the number of international university students in the US compared to one year ago. There are now over 157, 000 Chinese students at U.S. colleges and universities.

Asia accounted for four of the top five countries and regions to take advantage of the US higher education system. “Increased numbers of students from China, particularly at the undergraduate level, largely accounts for the growth this past year,” the report stated. “They really enroll in a full range of US higher education,” said Peggy Blumenthal, senior counselor to the president of IIE, the group that made the report. “20 years ago, students from China only knew of a handful of US institutions, but now, they are enrolling in our community colleges, in our small liberal arts institutions, in the research universities. Really spread across the country,” she said.

Chinese mainland was in the number one spot, while India was the number two country of origin. South Korea was the third and Canada was number four. China’s Taiwan held the number five spot. Saudi Arabia was in sixth with a 44-percent increase, while Japan was seventh, down 14 percent.

Blumenthal associates the increase in the number of Chinese students heading to US colleges to limited university places in China, as well as a feeling from students and their parents than they want a “unique” educational experience. China’s family planning policy, says Blumenthal, has also meant that families can concentrate resources on a single child.

The University of California at Los Angeles has one of the largest Asian student populations of any college in the United States.

1. Which ranked the third place sharing US higher education?

A. Saudi Arabia    B. South Korea

C. Canada    　　 D. India

2.Why is the number of Chinese students going to the US increasing?

A. The US colleges are better than those in China.

B. Each family in China has only one child.

C. China lacks enough educational resources.

D. Chinese students can enter varieties of US colleges.

3.Which of the following is right according to Peggy Blumenthal?

A. The number of Chinese students going to the US has increased by 23%.

B. The University of California has contributed to Asian education greatly.

C. Chinese student populations in the US mainly consist of undergraduates.

D. Chinese students know more about US higher education than before.

4. The best title for the passage can be ________.

A. Chinese College Students Rush to US Schools

B. The Large Number of Chinese Students in the US

C. Chinese Students Make Up Largely Foreign Students in the US

D. Asian Middle School Students in the US Universities
