Harvard University’s under-graduate education is being reformed so that it includes some time spent outside the US and more science courses, the US Cable News Network (CNN) has reported. For the first time in 30 years, Harvard is ___41___its under-graduate curriculum. William Kirby, dean of the faculty of arts and sciences, said this ___42___ what many people had said that Harvard’s curriculum did not provide enough choices and encourage premature specialization.
“Harvard needs to ___43___ its education for a world where global connections, cross disciplinary research, and science in general are ever more important,” said Kirby.
Particularly ___44___ is the idea that students need to spend time overseas, either in a
traditional study-abroad program or over a summer, perhaps doing an internship or research.
Students can either find the program themselves or ___45___ some exchange programs offered by the university.
“___46___studying Chinese history without leaving the university, students interested in the subject should be spending a semester at a university in China.”

Directions:In this part of the test, there are five short passages. Read each passage carefully, and then do the questions that follow. Choose the best answer from the four choices given
and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square brackets on
your machine-scoring Answer Sheet.
Passage One
A report published recently brings bad news about air pollution. It suggests that it could be as damaging to our health as exposure to the radiation from the 1986 Ukraine nuclear power disaster. The report was published by the UK Royal Commission on Environmental Pollution. But what can city people do to reduce exposure to air pollution? Quite a lot, it turns out.
Avoid walking in busy streets. Choose side streets and parks instead. Pollution levels can fall a considerable amount just by moving a few meters away from the main pollution source --- exhaust fumes(烟气). Also don’t walk behind smokers. Walk on the windward side of the street where exposure to pollutants can be 50 percents less than on the downwind side.
Sitting on the driver’s side of a bus can increase your exposure by 10 percent, compared with sitting on the side nearest the pavement. Sitting upstairs on a double-decker can reduce exposure. It is difficult to say whether traveling on and underground train is better or worse than taking the
bus. Air pollution on underground trains tends to be less toxic than that at street level, because underground pollution is mostly made up of tiny iron particles thrown up by wheels hitting the rails. But diesel and petrol fumes have a mixture of pollutants.
When you are crossing a road, stand well back from the curb while you wait for the light to change. Every meter really does count when you are close to traffic. As the traffic begins to move, fumes can be reduced in just a few seconds. So holding your breath for just a moment can make s difference, even though it might sound silly.
There are large sudden pollution increases during rush hours. Pollution levels fall during nighttime. The time of year also makes a big difference. Pollution levels tend to be at their lowest during spring and autumn when winds are freshest. Extreme cold or hot weather has a trapping effect and tends to cause a build-up of pollutants.
51. What is the passage mainly about?
A.How to fight air pollution in big cities.
B. How to avoid air pollution in big cities.
C. How to breathe fresh air in big cities.
D. How serious air pollution is in big cities.
52. According to the report, air pollution in big cities _______.
A. can be more serious than Chernobyl nuclear disaster
B. cannot be compared with the disaster in Chernobyl
C. can release as damaging radiation as the Chernobyl disaster
D. can be more serious than we used to think
53. When you walk in a busy street, you should walk on the side _______.
A. where the wind is coming
B. where the wind is going
C. where the wing is weaker
D. where the wind is stronger
54. If you take a bus in a big city in China, you should sit ________.
A. on the left side in the bus
B. on the right side of the bus
C. in the middle of the bus
D. at the back of the bus
55. It is implied in the passage that ______.
A. people should not take street level transportation
B. tiny iron particles will not cause health problems
C. air pollution on an underground train is less poisonous
D. traveling on an underground train is better than taking the bus
56. While waiting to cross a busy street, you should _______.
A. wait a few seconds until the fumes reduce
B. stay away from the traffic as far as possible
C. hold your breath until you get to the other side of the street
D. count down for the light to change
Passage Two
Global warming poses a threat to the earth, but humans can probably ease the climate threats brought on by rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, global climate specialists Richard Alley told an audience at the University of Vermont. Alley said his research in Greenland suggested that subtle changes in atmospheric patterns leave parts of the globe susceptible to abrupt and dramatic climate shifts that can last decades or centuries.
Almost all scientists agree that increasing levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere created as humans burn fossil fuel is warming the planet. How to respond to the warming is a matter of intense political, scientific and economic debate worldwide.
Ally said he was upbeat about global warming because enough clever people existed in the world to find other reliable energy sources besides fossil fuels. He said people can get rich finding marketable alternatives to fossil fuel. “Wouldn’t it be useful if the United States were to have a piece of the action. Wouldn’t it be useful if some bright students from University of Vermont were to have a piece of the action,” Alley said.
Alley said that Europe and parts of eastern North America could in a matter of a few years revert to a cold, windy region, like the weather in Siberia. Such shifts have occurred frequently over the millennia, Alley’s research shows. A gradual change in atmospheric temperature, such as global warming, could push the climate to a threshold where such as shift suddenly occurs, he said.
Alley told his audience of about 200 people in a University of Vermont lecture hall Wednesday evening that he couldn’t predict if, when or where sudden shifts toward cold, heat, drought, or water could occur under global warming, but it is something everyone should consider.
“This is not the biggest problem in the world. The biggest problem in the world is getting along with each other. But it’s part of that because we’re not going to get along with each other if we’re not getting along with the planet,” Alley said.
57. According to Alley the climate threats to the earth brought by global warming _______.
A. can be eased
B. can be ended
C. will become worse
D. will last for decades
58. Alley’s research shows that dramatic climate changes may be caused by_____________.
A. abrupt changes in atmospheric patterns
B. subtle changes in atmospheric patterns
C. humans’ burning of fossil fuel
D. increasing levels of carbon dioxide
59. The world “upbeat” (in paragraph 3) probably means “_________”.
A. pessimistic
B. optimistic
C. worried
D. insensible
60. What does Alley suggest people do in order to reduce global warming?
A. To find other energy sources besides fossil fuels.
B. To start a political, scientific and economic debate.
C. To take action to burn no fossil fuels.
D. To call on people worldwide to protect our earth.
61. Alley predicts that global warming could turn Europe and parts of eastern North America into _____________.
A. a region like Siberia
B. a warmer and warmer place
C. a tropical region
D. a place like North Pole
62. Alley thinks the biggest problem in the world is ________.
A. lack of harmony
B. violence
C. global warming
D. climate shift
Passage Three
We are talking about money here, and the things you buy with it—and about what attitude we should take to spending.
Across most of history and in most cultures, there has been a general agreement that we should work hard, save for the future and spend no more than we can afford. It’s nice to have a comfortable life right now, but it is best to think of the future. Yet economists have long known that things don’t work out that way. They point to an idea called the “paradox of thrift.” Imagine you are the owner of a big business making consumer goods. You want your own staff to work hard and save their money. That way, you don’t have to pay them as much. But you want everybody else to spend all the money they can. That way you make bigger profits.
It’s a problem on a global scale. Many people in the UK and the United States are worried about levels of personal debts. Yet if people suddenly stopped buying things and started paying back what they owe to credit card companies, all the economies of the Western world would collapse. The banks would be happy, but everybody else would be in trouble.
Traditionally, economists have believed that spending money is about making rational choices. People buy things to make their life better in some way. But in recent years, they have noticed that people often do not actually behave in that way. We all know people who take pleasure in buying useless things. And there are many people around who won’t buy things that they need.
In a recent series of experiments, scientists at Stanford University in the US confirmed something that many people have long suspected. People spend money because the act of buying gives them pleasure. And they refuse to spend when it causes them pain. The scientists discovered that different areas of the brain that anticipate pleasure and pain become more active when we are making a decision to buy things. People who spend a lot have their pleasure centers stimulated. People who like to save find buying things painful.
If you think you really want that product because it’s beautiful or useful, you are wrong, say the scientists. The desire to buy something is a product of the reaction between chemicals released by different parts of the brain when the eyes see a product.
63. Across most of history and in most cultures, people are advised to __________________.
A. enjoy their present life as much as possible
B. spend every penny they have earned
C. save every penny for the future
D. save some money for later use
64. According to the context, “paradox” (in paragraph 2) probably means “____________”.
A. contradiction
B. hypothesis
C. declaration
D. assertion
65. It is implied that many people in the UK and the United States _________________.
A. Have to work hare to make ends meet
B. Spend more than they can afford
C. Have trouble in paying back their debts
C. Don’t pay back their debts on time
66. According to the recent studies made by economists, people______________.
A. take pleasure in buying useless things
B. won’t buy things that they need
C. spend their money irrationally
D. make rational choices while spending their money
67. It has been proved by the scientists at Stanford University that some people like to save money because ___________.
A. they like keeping their money in the bank
B. they will feel safe if they save enough money for the future
C. they don’t want to spend their money on useless things
D. spending money gives them pain
68. The passage mainly tells us ___________.
A. how to spend our money
B. it is better to save some money for the future
C. it is the chemicals released from the brain that decide our spending
D. how to form a habit of rational spending
Passage Four
Trees are good. Good enough to hug. Planting trees will make the world cooler than it would otherwise be. This is the subject of a newly published study by Govindasamy Bala, of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, in California, and his colleagues. Dr Bala has found, rather counter-intuitively, that removing all of the world’s trees might actually cool the planet down.
The reason for this is that trees affect the world’s temperature by means other than the carbon they take in. for instance forests remain quite a dark shade even after a snowstorm. They are certainly darker than grassland, and thus they can absorb more of the sun’s heat than vegetation which might otherwise cover the same stretch of land. That warms things up.
Dr Bala and his colleagues took such effects into account using a computer model called the Integrated Climate and Carbon Model. Unlike most climate-change models, which calculate how the Earth should absorb and radiate heat in response to a list of greenhouse-gas concentrations, this one has many subsections that represent how the carbon cycle works, and how it influences
the climate.
Overall, Dr Bala’s model suggests that complete deforestation would cause an additional 1.3℃temperature rise compared with business as usual, because of the higher carbon-dioxide level that would result. However, the additional reflectivity of the planet would cause 1.6℃of cooling. A treeless world would thus be 0.3℃ cooler than otherwise.
No one, of course, would consider chopping down the world’s forests to keep planet cool. But having made their point, Dr. Bala and his colleagues then went on to look at forest growth and loss at different latitudes. Planting trees in convenient places such as Europe and North America may actually be counterproductive. In Russian and Canada, cutting trees down led mostly to local cooling. The carbon dioxide this released into the atmosphere, though, warmed the world all over. Around the equator, by contrast, warming acted locally (as well as globally), so a tropical country would experience warming created by cutting down trees.
The results follow increasing criticism from climate scientists of the benefits of forestry schemes to offset carbon emissions. Planting trees to neutralize carbon emissions has become a big business:￡60m worth of trees have been brought this year, up from ￡20m in 2005. By 2010 the market is expected to reach ￡300m.
69. According to the passage, trees make the world warmer because of their ____________.

Passage Five
The patients needed a spinal tap, and a senior attending physician asked a medical resident whether a preparatory blood test had been checked. The medical student was stunned to hear him answer in the affirmative, because she was quite certain it had not been checked.
Well, almost certain.
Doctors in training sometimes confront situations in which they worry that their supervising physicians are making mistakes or bending the truth. Yet even though such acts can jeopardize patients, the inclination and ability of young doctors to speak up is hampered by the hierarchies in teaching hospitals.
On the top were the senior physicians who make rounds on the wards once or twice each day. Next were the overworked residents, who essentially lived in the hospital while training. Last were the medical students who were most assuredly at the bottom of the heap.
The student whose resident seemingly lied to the attending physicians about blood test did not speak up. The resident was a good doctor, she said, and so she had given him the benefit of the doubt. And, she added, both the resident and the attending physician would be grading her.
What should a medical student do in such a situation? One possibility is to take the matter up with a more senior doctor. Or the student might go directly to the patient or family, telling them that the physicians have a genuine disagreement and that they deserve to know about it.
These options seem logical on paper. As the ethicist James Dwyer has written in The Hastings Center Report, “The practice of always keeping quiet is a failure of caring.” But in the real world, it may be extremely difficult to go up the chain of command.
Fortunately, medical educators are increasingly recognizing the dilemmas that doctors in training confront when they witness behavior that makes them uncomfortable. Students and residents are now expected to provide routine feedback—positive and negative—about their supervising physicians at the close of their rotation.
Of course, physicians and students need to be educated about how to give feedback in professional and non-confrontational ways. Medical educators are only now beginning to teach this skill. Still, it will be hard to change the unfortunate perception that constructive feedback, even for a patient’s benefit, is whistle-blowing.
75. As mentioned in the passage, the hospital hierarchy _______.
A. is useful to the people on the lower layer
B. is built on a performance-reward system
C. is a barrier to the exchange of medial views
D. is an effective way of teaching medical students
76. “the benefits of the doubt” in Paragraph 5 shows that ________.
A. the student was not quite certain that she was right
B. the resident did not respond to the student’s doubt
C. the student was denied the chance to doubt the superior
D. the resident benefited from the student’s suggestion
77. James Dwyer’s words mean that ________.
A. students should learn to speak both kindly and professionally
B. students should challenge the superior for the benefit of patients
C. students should retain their faith even after facing some difficulties
D. students should be educated on how to care more about the patients
78. What is the attitude of medical educators toward teaching students to give feedback?
A. Confused.
B. Indifferent.
C. Reluctant.
D. Enthusiastic.
79. The author tends to believe that the problem faced by medical students _________.
A. will remain for a long time
B. will disappear in the near future
C. should not be exaggerated
D. cannot be solved successfully
80. The passage focuses on ______.

In the US, according to a 2005 survey by the College Board, 42 at state universities rose by an average of 7.1 percent annually, after a year when inflation grew much less. At private schools it was up 5.9 percent. The survey which 43 more than 3,000 colleges and universities did not provide clear reasons for the continued increases. It did say that the price of goods and services at universities have risen rapidly. Some of the fastest growth has been in employee health 44 , and professional salaries.
Living expenses on campus have also 45 . At the university of Southern California student dining hall, a buffet (自助餐) meal cost $5.50 in 2004. But now it’s $9.

PART IV READING COMPREHENSION(45 minutes, 30 points, 1 point each) Directions:In this part of the test, there are five short passages. Read each passage carefully, and then do the questions that follow. Choose the best answer from the four choices
given and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square brackets
on your machine-scoring Answer Sheet.
Passage One
Did your mum and dad go to university, or did they leave school and go straight to the Job Centre? The educational experience of parents is still important when it comes to how today’s students choose an area of study and what to do after graduation, according to The Future-track research in the UK.
The research was done by the Higher Education Careers Service Unit. It plans to follow university applicants for six years from 2006 through their early careers.
The first year’s findings come from a study of 130,000 university applicants. They show significant differences in prospective students’approach to higher education, depending on whether their parents got degrees (second-generation applicants) or didn’t (first-generation applicants).
First-generation applicants were more likely to say that their career and employment prospects were uppermost in their minds in deciding to go to university. About one-fifth of this group gave “to enable me to get a good job”as their main reason for choosing HE. And 37 percent said that a degree was “part of my career plan”.
A young person coming from a non-professional household where finances are stretched my find the idea of learning for its own sake to be a luxury. This explains the explosion in vocational course.
At Portsmouth University, first-year student Kim Burnett, 19, says that she specifically chose her degree in health research management and psychology to get a secure, well-paid job. Harriet Edge, 20, studying medicine at Manchester University, also wanted job security. Her parents lacked college degrees, though the fact that her uncle is a doctor appears to have influenced her choice.
“Medicine is one of those fields where it’s pretty likely you’ll get a job at the end. That’s a big plus, as the debt levels after five years of study are going to be frightening,” she says. Many experts believe that this situation affects those with no family tradition of higher education far more keenly. The fact that 26 percent of respondents said that they needed more advice implies that some students may end up feeling that their higher education investment was not worthwhile.
For those with graduate parents, this lack of guidance may, the researchers suggest, be less of a problem. “But, for those without the advantages, lack of access to career guidance before applying for higher education leaves them exposed to making poorer choices,”the survey concludes.
51. The main idea of the passage is that __________.
A. parents’ experience are more important for their children’s education
B. parents’ carrers are vitally important for their children’s degress
C. students’ approach to higher education correlates with their parents’ educational experience
D. students’ carrer and emplyment prospects are decided by their parents
52. “HE” in the 4th paragraph probably refers to __________.
A. health education.
B. higher employment
C. Harriet Edge
D. higher education
53. A young person coming from a non-professional household __________.
A. is less likely to get financial aid to go to university
B. is more likely to choose vocational education
C. may think learning for pleasure is a good idea
D. may choose to study for a professional degree
54. In which of the following aspects do Kim Burnett and Harriet Edge have in common?
A. They both chose their majors because of their family influence.
B. They are both the first-year students in university.
C. Both of their parents lack college degrees.
D. Both of them chose degrees for job security.
55. It is implied that __________.
A. the cost of a degree in medicine is very high
B. higher education investment in medicine is not worthwhile
C. a student without family medical tradition is less likely to choose medicine
D. medicine is a field where every degree-holder can get a job
56. Those with graduate parents may __________.
A. make poorer choices when choosing their majors
B. make better choices when applying for higher education
C. not need career guidance before graduation
D. have no problems in applying for a college
Passage Two
Last month, the public address system at Earl’s Court subway station in London was ordered to get the noise down. Passengers, it seems, had had enough of being told that blindingly obvious: “Stand back or the train will run you over.”“Don’t lean on the doors.”“Stand back from the opening doors.”“Do this.”“Don’t do that.”
Bossiness is not just aural. It is also written. As a commuter, I’m continually bombarded by notices on car walls. “Please take your feet off the seat.”“Please turn down your personal stereo.” And when I drive past the local primary, a sign flashes: “School. Slow down!”
The presumption behind these signs is that Britons must have everything spelled out because we are low, uncivilized people who were raised by wolves.
Britain didn’t use to be so bossy. When I was a boy, for instance, the local cinema put a warning on screen before we settled down to watch. “Don’t,” it said, “make noises.” In those days, long before mobile phones, it was the only bossiness we saw in the cinema. Since then, bossiness has become more commonplace. Television, that strongest guide to public morals and lifestyles in this country, is alive with dominant people. On screen, we see health experts holding some poor woman’s breasts and demanding that she get in shape. Cooking programs tell us not to think of leaving toast crumbs on the kitchen table.
There is no point in blaming TV for this new bossiness. We want to be bossed. We have behaved badly and now we yearn to feel the whip to correct us. On July 1, smoking will be banned in public places in England. My local government told churches in the area last week that no-smoking posters must be prominently displayed by church entrance.
I love this: the governments are bossing people to make them more bossy. They are insisting that priests tell their congregations (教区的教民) what to do.
My local government isn’t the only source of bossiness. I find it everywhere. But the rise in bossiness does not seem to have been accompanied by a rise in socially well-adjusted behavior. In fact, the opposite. Perhaps this is because, if you feel as though you are treated with contempt, you will respond with the same.
57. The case at Earl’s Court subway station shows that __________.
A. it is very noisy in public places
B. it is necessary to warn the passengers of their safety
C. people have realized the importance of public order
D. people have been tired of being bossed
58. It is presumed that bossiness is everywhere because Britons __________.
A. need to be bossed to behave themselves
B. want to be reminded of how to behave well
C. must have everything spelled out
D. are raised in uncivilized society
59. It is suggested in the passage that __________.
A. now Britons behave much better than they did in the past
B. in the past Britons behaved much better than they do now
C. the dominant people on screen should be blamed for the new bossiness
D. television has misguided the public morals and lifestyles in Britain
60. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
A. Television should play a role in enhancing public morals.
B. The local government has got involved in the church activities.
C. The governments want to make themselves more authoritative by bossing people.
D. The rise in bossiness has helped the improvement of people’s behavior.
61. The author writes this passage in a __________.
A. funny tone
B. criticizing tone
C. friendly tone
D. radical tone
62. What is the appropriate title of this passage?
A. British People Have Had Enough Bossiness Around
B. British People Want to Be Bossed
C. Bossiness in Great Britain: Its Past and Present
D. Bossiness in Great Britain Should Be Ignored
Passage Three
It began as just another research project, in this case to examine the effects of various drugs on patients with a severe mood disorder. Using an advanced brain scanning technology —the clumsily named echo-planar magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (磁共振光谱成像) procedure, or EP-MRSI —researchers at Boston’s McLean Hospital scanned the medicated and un-medicated brains of 30 people with bipolar disorder in order to detect possible new treatments for the more than 2 million American adults who suffer from the disease.
But something unexpected happened. A patient who had been so depressed that she could barely speak became ebullient after the 45-minute brain scan. Then a second patient, who seemed incapable of even a smile, emerged actually telling jokes. Then another and another. Was this some coincidence? Aimee Parow, the technician who made these observations didn’t think so. She mentioned the patients’ striking mood shifts to her boss, and together they completely refocused the study: to see if the electromagnetic fields might actually have a curative effect on depressive mood.
As it turns out, they did. As reported last month in the American Journal of Psychiatry, 23 of the 30 people who were part of the study reported feeling significantly less depressed after the scan. The most dramatic improvements were among those who were taking no medication. The researchers are cautious. Says Bruce Cohen, McLean’s president and psychiatrist in chief: “I want to emphasize that we are not saying this is the answer…but this is a completely different approach in trying to help the brain than anything that was done before.”
It’s a completely different approach because of the way the magnetism is applied to the brain.
