Luo Gaoqi hopes to join the increasing number of Chinese students in the United States because he wants the experience of studying in a foreign land as it will help his future job at home. “I want to try Western education because people there think differently,” said the 21-year-old who is in his final year of undergraduate studies. “I also hope to meet friends from different cultures. The social connections may help in the future.”

The latest report from the US-based institute of International Education said China, for the first time, has become the top country of origin for international students in the United States.

For Yang Fan, a journalism student, said studying in the United States is a way to escape the competition for places in China’s top universities. “Due to limited education resources, only about 60 percent of high school graduates in China enter college, and a much lower rate enters the top-level ones. “A foreign degree will definitely help when I seek a job in China,” Yang said.

Both Yang’s and Luo’s parents are supportive of them studying abroad. Neither of them is thinking of settling down in the United States after graduation.

“It is not realistic to do so. As a journalism student, there would be no advantage for me to work in the United States,” Yang said. “But in China, with a US degree and good English, I may stand out against other students who have only studied in China.”

China still needs to improve its environment for scientists and high-level talents, said Xiao Mingzheng, director of the Center for Human Resource Development and Management Research of Peking University, adding that, in particular, the country needs to improve its policies relating to research environments.

In June, the Chinese government published a plan concerning talent development for the next 10 years. In it, it has improved policies and increased budgets to attract talented students back home.

1.Why does Luo Gaoqi wants to study in a foreign land according to his words?

A. Because the people there are more intelligent.

B. Because the foreign countries are more developed.

C. Because he can make more friends there.

D. Because the culture there is different from that in China.

2.What do Guo Gaoqi and Yang Fan have in common?

A. Their major is the same, which is journalism.

B. Both of them want to go back to China after graduation.

C. Their parents are against their decision.

D. They are forced to study in a foreign land by their parents.

3.From the passage, we can infer that _______.

A. scientists and high-level talents need a better environment in China

B. the students abroad are unwilling to go back to China

C. China doesn’t need those people to come back to our country at all

D. we all need to go abroad to study and then serve our own country

The increase in tuition fees(学费) has led to a “clear drop” in the number of English students applying for university places this autumn. There are 15,000 “missing” applicants this academic year, according to the Independent Commission on Fees. Chairman Will Hutton said: “We’re asking our young men and women to have more debt than any other country in the world — it’s higher than the average debt in the US. It’s not clear whether those lost students this year will return next year, or if it’s a storm warming of a worrying trend.”

But the commission’s report says there does not seem to be an impact on poorer communities. The commission found there was no significant change in the application rate to the key universities, such as Oxford or Cambridge. The decline （下降）in England has not been mirrored in other parts of the UK where fees have not been raised, and the drop can only partly be explained by falling numbers of young people in the population. Students from Scotland attending Scottish universities do not pay fees, while the Welsh Assembly says it will pay fees above ￡3,465 for Welsh students attending UK institutions.

The average tuition fee at English universities this year is ￡ 8,385, rising to ￡ 8,507 next year. UK and EU students have access to govemment-backed loans to pay the fees. And the survey of 1,000 pupils aged 15-18, carried out this April, found that the majority expected to go on to higher education as people continue to understand that university remains a good long term investment in their future.

A spokeswoman at the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills which is responsible for universities, said:“Students shouldn’t be forced to put off going to university for financial reasons. Most students will not have to pay in advance, and no one will have to start paying back their student loan until they start to earn at least ￡ 2l,000 per year.”

1.From the first paragraph, we know that __________________　　　　 .

A. it’s a trend that English students are dropping out of school

B. the rising tuition fees have a great effect on English students

C. the lost English students will find their way back

D. many English students are missing the final examinations

2.Why is there still a drop of applicants though fees have not been raised?

A. Because the students live in poor communities.

B. Because Welsh students will pay fees above￡3,465.

C. Because education is free for Scottish students.

D. Because there are less young students in the area.

3.What’s the students’ attitude to universities in the survey?

A. Most of them are willing to go to university.

B. They feel universities takes up too much time.

C. They will stop applying for university places this autumn.

D. They are anxious to go to a key university.

4.The spokeswoman in the last paragraph advises students to ______________

A. put off going to university　　　　

B. reduce the anxiety about the rising fees

C. pay for the fees in advance　　　　

D. pay back their loan soon after graduation

高二英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

For an increasing number of students at American universities, Old is suddenly in. The reason is obvious: the graying of America means jobs, coupled with the aging of the baby-boom generation, a longer life span means that the nation’s elderly population is bound to expand significantly over the next 50 years. By 2050, 25 percent of all Americans will be older than 65, up from 14 percent in 1995.The change poses profound questions for government and society, of course. But it also creates career opportunities in medicine and health professions and in law and business as well. “In addition to the doctors, we’re going to need more sociologists, biologists, urban planners and specialized lawyers,” says Professor Edward Schneider of the University of Southern California’s (USC) School of Gerontology（老年学）.

Lawyers can specialize in “elder law”, which covers everything from trusts and estates to nursing-home abuse and age discrimination. Businessmen see huge opportunities in the elder market because the baby boomers, 74 million strong, are likely to be the wealthiest group of retirees in human history. “Any student who combines an expert knowledge in gerontology with, say, an MBA or law degree will have a license to print money,” one professor says.

Margarite Santos is a 21-year-old senior at USC. She began college as a biology major but found she was “really bored with bacteria.” So she took a class in gerontology and discovered that she liked it. She says, “I did volunteer work in retirement homes and it was very satisfying.”

1.With the aging of America, lawyers can benefit ________.

A. from the adoption of the “elder law”

B. from presenting their professional services to the elderly

C. by enriching their professional knowledge

D. by winning the trust of the elderly to promote their own interests.

2.Who can make big money in the new century according to the passage?

A. Retirees who are business-minded.

B. The volunteer workers in retirement homes.

C. college graduates with an MBA or law degree.

D. Professionals with a good knowledge of gerontology.

3.Why can businessmen gain profit in the emerging elder market?

A. Retirees are more generous in spending money.

B. They can employ more gerontologists.

C. The elderly possess an enormous purchasing power.

D. There are more elderly people working than before.
