Educators across the US are calling for major changes to the admission process in higher education. The National Center for Educational Statistics reported that U.S. colleges and universities received more than 9 million applications between 2013 and 2014. The schools admitted more than 5 million students in that time.

But a new report says that the problem is not about the number of students that are being admitted, but rather how students are selected. The Harvard School of Graduate Education, along with 80 other schools and organizations, released the report in January 2016, called “Turing the Tide---Making Caring Common”. The report argues that the process schools use to choose students causes major problems.

David Hawkins, the Executive Director for Educational Policy, says that most colleges and universities require many things from students when they apply. Schools usually ask for an essay describing a student’s interests or why they want to study at that school. The schools also ask for letters from teachers or other responsible adults describing why a student is a good candidate. But, Hawkins says, the area that schools are most concerned with a student’s high school grades and standardized test results.

The report suggests that paying attention to academic success over other qualities works well for some students but hurts others. In addition, academic success is not the most important quality a student should have. More attention should be paid to showing whether or not a student wants to do good in the world. The report also suggests that schools should ask for evidence that students care about other people. Moving attention away from academic ability will make process less about competition, the report says. Students will feel less stress about meeting higher and higher expectation.

But the report does have its critics. Bob Schaeffer, Public Education Director, said that every few years, someone makes the same argument for change. He said that no real change has happened yet and that even many of the schools that agree with the report still make no changes. “Many of the institutions that have supported the findings in the report are the very institutions that have the most competitive admission processes in the country," Schaeffer said.

1.What is the problem of the admission process according to the report?

A.The schools ask social responsibilities from the applying students

B.The schools attach importance to students’ academic records

C.The number of students getting admitted is too small

D.Admission officers only consider personal qualities

2.Which of the following do colleges ask of applicants except　　 ?

A.Their reasons to attend the school.

B.A description of their interests.

C.Recommendation letters from adults

D.Evidence that students care about others

3.What does the author’s attitude to the report of the admission process?.

A.Supportive. B.Doubtful C.Neutral D.Negative

4.The critic, Bob Schaeffer, thinks that　　 .

A.some schools don't do what they believe is right

C.not enough schools currently agree with the report

D.history has proved that all changes are good

The Ivy League is an athletic conference comprising eight private institutions of higher education in the Northeastern United States. The term is most commonly used to refer to those eight schools considered as a group. The term is also connected with academic excellence, selectivity in admissions, and social elitism(精英主义).

The term became official, especially in sports terminology, after the formation of the NCAA Division I athletic conference in 1954, when much of the nation polarized around favorite college teams. “IV” was used because originally the league consisted only of four members. The use of the phrase is no longer limited to athletics, and now represents an educational philosophy inherent to ( 固有的，内在的)the nation's oldest schools. In addition, Ivy League schools are often viewed by the public as some of the most prestigious （著名的）universities worldwide and are often ranked amongst the best universities in the United States and worldwide. The eight institutions are Brown University, Columbia University, Cornell University, Dartmouth College, Harvard University, Princeton University, the University of Pennsylvania, and Yale University.

All of the Ivy League's institutions place near the top in the U.S. News & World Reportcollege and university rankings and rank within the top one percent of the world's academic institutions in terms of financial endowment(捐助). Seven of the eight schools were founded during America's colonial period; the exception is Cornell, which was founded in 1865. Ivy League institutions, therefore, account for seven of the nine Colonial Colleges chartered before the American Revolution. The Ivies are all in the Northeast geographic region of the United States. All eight schools receive millions of dollars in research grants and other subsidies from federal and state government.

Undergraduate enrollments among the Ivy League schools range from about 4,000 to 14,000, making them larger than those of a typical private liberal arts college and smaller than a typical public state university. Ivy League university financial endowments range from Brown's $2.01 billion to Harvard's $26 billion, the largest financial endowment of any academic institution in the world.

1.Which meaning can the term “the Ivy League” convey today?

A．The largest enrollment.                   B．The strongest government support.

C．The most expensive schools.               D．First-class education.

2.From the passage, we know the word “Ivy” in “the Ivy League” was first chosen to refer to _______.

A．a plant            B．a number          C．a sport            D．a spirit

3.Which of the following statements is true?

A．There is no longer sports competition in the Ivy League.

B．Seven colleges were set up before the USA was founded.

C．Brown University has the smallest number of students.

D．Typical public state universities are larger than the Ivies.

4.What is special about Cornell University in the League?

A．It is the oldest one.                      B．It was founded by colonists.

C．It has the smallest endowment.             D．It is the youngest one.

5.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?

A．The ABC of “The Ivy League”

B．Best Universities in the USA

C．The Financial Income of American Universities

D．How to Apply to an Ivy League University
