Many universities, especially those elite ones, can receive millions from the ind

2、ividuals and companies every year. For example, Zhejiang University was reported to have accepted more than 520 million yuan in 2010 from its alumni. People have different views on universities taking donations. Some believe that more funds will contribute to a better development of the university,

3、and donations can aid students who come from low-income families. Others, however, argue that colleges shouldnt accept endowment, since the governmental funds allocated to universities are enough for their development. They also point out that many universities fail to make good use of the donations

4、 and most money dont go to poor students. In my opinion, taking donations benefits not only the university but also its students. Even if most donations are not given to poor students directly, they help update teaching facilities and improve the school environment, which will benefit the students i

5、ndirectly. Therefore, universities taking donations should be advocated. 【参考范文二】 Universities Taking Donations Donations to universities have become commonplace with the rapid economic development and peoples emphasis on education. Some donations universities receive come from the individuals, most

6、of who are their alumni, while some are made by large companies, domestic or international ones. People differ on universities taking donations. Supporters say receiving donation helps universities develop faster. It also provides chances to those willing to promote higher education. Critics, howeve

7、r, maintain that universities are sacrificing independence, since most large donations are conditional ones. For example, many large donors would require schools to publicize their contributions, such as naming a teaching building after their names. Personally, I think universities should be careful

8、 in receiving endowment. A general rule: donations that are given with no conditions can be accepted. Besides, universities should examine the sources of the donations and resist the commercial pressures which are put on them.Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) 1. C) 2. B) 3. D) 4.

30、ion? Section B Passage One I was 9 years old when I found out my father was ill. It was 1994, but I can remember my mothers words as if it were yesterday “Carol, I dont want you to take food from your father, because he has AIDS. Be very careful when you are around him.” AIDS wasnt something we talk

31、ed about in my country when I was growing up. From then on, I knew that this would be a family secret. My parents were not together anymore, and my dad lived alone. For a while, he could take care of himself. But when I was 12, his condition worsened. My fathers other children lived far away, so it

32、fell to me to look after him. We couldnt afford all the necessary medication for him, and because dad was unable to work, I had no money for school supplies and often couldnt even buy food for dinner. I would sit in class feeling completely lost. The teachers words were drowned as I tried to figure

33、out how I was going to manage. I did not share my burden with anyone. I had seen how people reacted to AIDS. Kids laughed at classmates who had parents with the disease. And even adults could be cruel. When my father was moved to the hospital, the nurses would leave his food on the bedside table eve

34、n though he was too weak to feed himself. I had known that he was going to die, but after so many years of keeping his condition a secret, I was completely unprepared when he reached his final days. Sad and hopeless, I called a woman at the non-profit National AIDS Support. That day, she kept me on

35、the phone for hours. I was so lucky to find someone who cared. She saved my life.I was 15 when my father died. He took his secret away with him, having never spoken about AIDS to anyone, even me. He didnt want to call attention to AIDS. I do. Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just

36、 heard. 26. What does Carol tell us about her father? 27. Why did Carol keep her fathers disease a secret? 28. Why did Carol write the passage? Passage Two To get a drivers license, you must take a series of tests. The first test is the vision test. This test checks your eyes to see if you have to w

37、ear glasses when you drive. The second test is a written test that checks your knowledge of highway and traffic regulations. You can prepare for this test by studying a booklet that you can get at the drivers license office. After you pass the written test, you receive an instruction permit. This pe

38、rmit allows you to practice driving with an experienced driver. The last test you have to take is a road test. This checks your driving ability. If you pass it, you will receive your drivers license. When you go to the drivers license office to take the road test, you must provide your own vehicle.

39、First, the license examiner checks the mechanical condition of your car. Then, the examiner gets into the car with you and asks you to drive in regular traffic. While you are driving, the examiner tests you for such things as starting, stopping, turning, backing up, and parking. If you cant control

40、the car properly, or if you violate a traffic regulation while you are taking the test, you fail the examination. You will have to practice driving more until you take the road test again and pass it. Questions 29 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard. 29. What does the second test chec

41、k? 30. What does the instruction permit allow you to do? 31. What do we learn about the road test? 32. Who are the most probable readers of the passage? Passage Three Margaret, married with two small children, has been working for the last seven years as a night cleaner, cleaning offices in a big bu

42、ilding. She trained as a nurse, but had to give it up when her elder child became seriously ill. “I would have liked to go back to it, but the shifts are all wrong for me, as I have to be home to get the children up and off to school.” So she works as a cleaner instead, from 9 p.m. till 6 a.m. five

43、nights a week for just 90, before tax and insurance. “Its better than it was last year, but I still think that people who work unsocial hours should get a bit extra.” The hours shes chosen to work mean that she sees plenty of the children, but very little of her husband. However, she doesnt think th

44、at puts any pressure on their relationship. Her work isnt physically very hard, but its not exactly pleasant, either. “I do get angry with people who leave their offices like a place for raising pigs. If they realized people like me have to do it, perhaps theyd be a bit more careful.” The fact that

45、shes working all night doesnt worry Margaret at all. Unlike some dark buildings at night, the building where she works is fully lit, and the women work in groups of three. “Since Ive got to be here, I try to enjoy myself and I usually do, because of the other girls. We all have a good laugh, so the

46、time never drags.” Another challenge Margaret has to face is the reaction of other people when she tells them what she does for a living. “They think youre a cleaner because you dont know how to read and write,” said Margaret. “I used to think what my parents would say if they knew what Id been doin

47、g, but I dont think that way any more. I dont dislike the work though I cant say Im mad about it.” Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard. 33. Why did Margaret quit her job as a nurse? 34. Why does Margaret get angry with people who work in the office? 35. How does Margaret feel when at work? Section C Many businesses, such as department stores, restaurants, hotels and airline companies, use a credit system for selling their products and (36) services. In a credit system, t
