11、llowing account of current changes in university education and mark the statements following the passage as being T( true ) or F ( false) according to the information you get from the text:Passage 1. Changes in university educationUniversities around the world are undergoing major changes. Governmen

12、t policies now require universities to become more cost efficient, entrepreneurial and less dependent on public funding. There are three views about the outcome of these processes. The first view is that universities are now much more efficient. The second is that although universities need to impro

13、ve efficiency, the changes have been unnecessarily far-reaching and severe. The third view is that the changes have wreaked havoc in several fundamental areas of university activity such as the curriculum, teaching, research and administration. Here we will examine the impact of changes on the lectu

14、ring staff. Although most university staff has had to deal with the effects of educational changes, academic staff has borne the greatest burden. In addition, they have had to adjust to variations in salary levels, working conditions and the measurement of teaching performance. This latter issue is

15、clearly set out in a statement by a US university president, “If it moves, we measure it”. It is this move to measurement in academia that has provoked controversy in universities.Traditionally the main, and often only, qualification for teaching has been a Ph. D. in the academics specialized field,

16、 even if the specialist had few teaching skills. Now, a professional teaching qualification is an essential requirement when academics apply for promotion or tenure. In addition, today the academic must show evidence of teaching ability. In earlier times, whilst there was no formal assessment of the

17、 effectiveness of teaching, primitive informal assessments did exist. Today, with the introduction of commercialization processes into universities, the student has been re-named “the customer”. Because the student/customer is paying for an education, she or he has the right to make a judgment about

18、 the “product” being offered. Now student assessments of the lecturers performance are based upon anonymous questionnaires, administered by staff development departments of universities.Senior university managers and the people who administer the assessment measures in universities believe in the ob

19、jectivity, reliability, validity and usefulness of the measurement procedures. Lecturers are more critical saying that four factors undermine the reliability of student responses.First, students must complete a four or five page questionnaire six or more times a year and some students become more cy

20、nical with each questionnaire. Second, the questionnaires are usually completed late in the semester when many student essays/assignments are due. Thus hasty, sometimes ill-considered assessments are made.Third, one subject may be a first year compulsory course with 200 or more students, whilst anot

21、her is taken by only ten students, all of whom have chosen the course because it is of interest to them. Such variations undermine the principle of reliability of measurement techniques.Fourth, it is well established in organizational studies that whenever performance measures are introduced an impr

22、ovement is recorded. One reason for this is that the person being measured is able to manipulate the account of the performance. Academics have been known to introduce strategies such as inflating the marking of student papers, or introducing a lengthy lecture/tutorial break for coffee (paid for by

23、the lecturer). These strategies can produce a positive, but false, image of the lecturers teaching ability.Mark the following statements as T (true) or F (false) according to the information in the text.21. There are pressures on universities to become less entrepreneurial.22. University changes are

24、 affecting the curriculum, teaching, research and administration.23. The changes have led to commercialization within universities.24. Today students are treated more like customers.25. If it moves, we measure it was meant to suggest that promotion to senior management positions in universities are

25、open only to staff in the Mathematics departments.26. University lecturers have always had to have teaching qualifications.27. Prior to the current changes, the teaching of university lecturers was not subjected to forms of assessment.28. Senior university managers have faith in the objectivity and

26、reliability of current assessment techniques.29. Senior university managers believe that because the assessment measures are valid they are useful.30. Organizational studies cast no doubt on the effectiveness of assessment measures.Part 2. Read passage 3 and answer questions 31-40.Passage 2 Medical

27、Insurance The State Council plans to expand the nations pilot program involving the reform of Chinas free medical-care system to some 80 cities this year. The extension is a follow=up to previous work in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province, and Jiujiang, Jiangxi Province, launched early last year.China esta

28、blished a free medical care system in 1951. State owned institutions and industrial factories were entitled to open welfare accounts to help cover medical expenses of their employees.Medical expenditure has increased. In 1994, medical expenditures for workers nation-wide amounted to 55.8 billion Yua

29、n. IN 1978 the cost was 2.7 billion Yuan.The experiments have attempted to create a new medical insurance system that integrates overall medical funds with personal accounts. Under the new system institutional and industrial employees pay 1 percent of their monthly salary to set up a personal accoun

30、t for medical expenses. Both capital and interest are set aside for the individual.Units are required to contribute a sum equivalent to about 10 percent of their entire staffs salaries, about 50 percent or more of which goes into personal accounts for each staff member. The remainder of the money go

31、es to establish an overall medical fund for cases of serious illness. Medical costs will be subtracted first from employees personal accounts. But for serious ailments or costly medical treatment, the overall medical-insurance fund will cover the majority of the cost.21 F 22 T 23 T 24 T 25 F 26 F 27

43、g, tells a fascinating story about a little Chinese girl, Li Taotao, and her contribution to the US Space Shuttle Columbia.Li Taotao was a Grade 5 student of Jingshan Primary School when, in October 1999, the US based Spacehab and China Time Network invited applications to the China STARS (Space Tec

44、hnology and Research Students) Programme.One the day that Li Taotao heard about the China STARS Programme she had no homework set for that night.

45、ho wore silk clothes, soft and beautiful. She also thought about a science project she had completed about the four phases of a silkworms growth. Finally she remembered a TV report on the use of silk to make protein for cosmetics.She knew that many factories were moving from overseas to China. That

46、made her thinks about the problem of moving factories from earth to outer space. Most factories have big heavy machines. She realized that silk worms were like small factories. Li Taotao conjectured that silk production might be an ideal business to be run from orbital space factories.Within an hour

47、 she had finished her proposal. She entitled it Silkworms Spins Cocoon in Space. The proposal concentrated on the manufacturing problems that might occur at each of the four phases of the growth of the silkworm. Spacehab vice-president Dr. Bernard Harris understand that nobody knows exactly what would happen to silkworms, their cocoons or that silk in microgravity. That is why that US Space Shuttle Co
