An increase in students applying to study economics at university is being attributed to the global economic crisis awakening a public thirst for knowledge about how the financial system works.

Applications for degree courses beginning this autumn were up by 15% this January, according to UCAS, the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service. A spokesman for the Royal Economic Society said applications to do economics at A-level were also up.

Professor John Beath, the president of the society and a leading lecturer at St Andrews University, said his first –year lectures—which are open to students from all departments were drawing crowds of 400, rather than the usual 250.

“There are a large number of students who are not economics majors, who would like to learn something about it. One of the things I have done this year is to relate my teaching to contemporary events in a way that one hasn’t traditionally done.” He said.

University applications rose 7% last year, but there were rises above average in several subjects. Nursing saw a 15% jump, with people’s renewed interest in careers in the public sector(部门), which are seen as more secure in economic crisis.

A recent study showed almost two thirds of parents believed schools should do more to teach pupils about financial matters, and almost half said their children had asked them what was going on, although a minority of parents felt they did not understand it themselves well enough to explain.

Zack Hocking, the head of Child Trust Funds, said, “It’s possible that one good thing to arise from the downturn(衰退) will be a generation that’s financially wiser and better equipped to manage their money through times of economic uncertainty.”

1.Professor John Beath’s lectures are ___________.

A. given in a traditional way　　　　　　　　　

B. connected with the present situation

C. open to both students and their parents　　

D. warmly received by economics

2.In the opinion of most parents, ___________.

A. economics should be the focus of school teaching

B. more students should be admitted to universities

C. the teaching of financial matters should be strengthened

D. children should solve financial problems themselves

3.What’s the main idea of the text?

A. Universities have received more applications.

B. Economics is attracting an increasing number of students.

C. College students benefit a lot from economic uncertainty.

D. Parents are concerned with children’s subject selection.

Liz, a graduate at the University of Wales, was going to spend a year at the University of Massachusetts. She had been invited to stay with the Van Dyke family. Alex, the eldest son, met her at the airport and drove her home, where Mrs. Van Dyke was waiting at the door.

"Welcome to America, Liz! "

They shook hands.

"How do you do, Mrs. Van Dyke? "

"Just call me Mary, " Mrs. Van Dyke said.

Liz looked round her, "Oh, what a lovely road! "

The road stretched(延伸) in a straight line as far as the distant highway. It was lines with trees and all the houses were built of wood and painted white.

"Your front gardens have not got any bedges(树篱) or walls between them. "

"We call them front yards over here, Liz! No, our front yards belong more to the street as a whole. We're more sociable than you are. We drop in on each other. You like to be more private. An Englishman’s home is his castle. Isn't that right, Liz? "

"Well, you're right. "

"Come on in! " Mrs. Van Dyke said. "I'll show you your room. "

Then Alex arrived in Liz's room with two suitcases(行李箱), saying, ''The closets(衣厨) are all empty. Know what I mean? ''

"Yes, cupboards! " Liz answered with a laugh. "I read somewhere not long ago, " she went on, "We call the things in the suitcases 'luggage', while you name it 'baggage'. I think British English and American English would soon be two separate languages. "

"Nonsense! " Alex replied, laughing. "In another ten years, you British may all be speaking American English. But I hope you don’t change your accent! "

1.Who was Liz?

A.A student graduated from Massachusetts.

B.A graduate from Great Britain.

C.Mrs. Van Dyke's old friend.

D.Alex's schoolmate.

2.What are American front yards like according to Mary?

A.They are open. B.They are small.

C.They have wooden doors. D.They have hedges or walls.

3.Which of the following is a British English word?

A.Yard. B.Closet.

C.Baggage. D.Cupboard.

4.What is Alex's opinion about the two languages?

A.They will have more speakers.

B.They will show important changes.

C.They may become one language in ten years.

高一英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

As a professor at a large American university,there is a phrase that I hear often from students:“I’m only a 1050.”The unlucky students are speaking of the score on the Scholastic Aptitude Test(SAT),which is used to determine whether they will be admitted to the college or university of their choice,or even if they have a chance to get a higher education at all.The SAT score,whether it is 800,1100 or 1550,has become the focus at this time of their life.

It is obvious that if students value highly their test scores,then a great amount of their self-respect is put in the number.Students who perform poorly on the exam are left feeling that it is all over.The low test score,they think,will make it impossible for them to get into a good college.And without a degree from a prestigious university,they fear that many of life’s doors will remain forever closed.

According to a study done in the 1990s,the SAT is only a reliable indicator of a student’s future performance in most cases.Interestingly,it becomes much more accurate when it is set together with other indicators-like a student’s high school grades.Even if standardized tests like the SAT could show a student’s academic proficiency(学业水平)，they will never be able to test things like confidence,efforts and willpower,and are unable to give us the full picture of a student’s potentialities(潜力).This is not to suggest that we should stop using SAT scores in our college admission process.The SAT is an excellent test in many ways,and the score is still a useful means of testing students.However,it should be only one of many methods used.

1.The purpose of the SAT is to test students’ ______.

A.strong will

B.academic ability

C.full potentialities

D.confidence in school work

2.Students’ self-respect is influenced by their ______.

A.scores in the SAT

B.achievements in mathematics

C.job opportunities

D.money spent on education

3.“A prestigious university” is most probably ______.

A.a famous university

B.a technical university

C.a traditional university

D.an expensive university

4.This passage is mainly about ______.

A.how to prepare for the SAT

B.stress caused by the SAT

C.American higher education

D.the SAT and its effects
