Diana Jacobs thought her family had a workable plan to pay for college for her 21-year-old twin sons: a combination of savings, income, scholarships, and a modest amount of borrowing. Then her husband lost his job, and the plan fell apart.
“I have two kids in college, and I want to say ‘come home,’ but at the same time I want to provide them with a good education,” says Jacobs.
The Jacobs family did work out a solution: They asked and received more aid form the schools, and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the federal loan (貸款) program. They will each graduate with $20,000 of debt, but at least they will be able to finish school.
With unemployment rising, financial aid administrators expect to hear more families like the Jacobs. More students are applying for aid, and more families expect to need student loans. College administrators are concerned that they will not have enough aid money to go around.
At the same time, tuition（學(xué)費(fèi)）continues to rise. A report from the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education found that college tuition and fees increased 439% from 1982 to 2007, while average family income rose just 147%. Student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade,
“If we go on this way for another 25years, we won’t have an affordable system of higher education,” says Patrick M. Callan, president of the center. “The middle class families have been financing it through debt. They will send kids to college whatever it takes, even if that means a huge amount of debt.”
Financial aid administrators have been having a hard time as many companies decide that student loans are not profitable enough and have stopped making them. The good news, however, is that federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing, and the government says that money will flow uninterrupted.
【小題1】
According to Paragraph 1, why did the plan of Jacobs family fail?

A．The twins wasted too much money.
B．The father was out of work.
C．Their saving ran out.
D．The family fell apart.
【小題2】
How did the Jacobs manage to solve their problem?
A．They asked their kids to come home.
B．They borrowed $20,000 from the school.
C．They encouraged their twin sons to do part-time jobs.
D．They got help from the school and the federal government.
【小題3】
Financial aid administrators believe that _______.
A．more families will face the same problem as the Jacobses
B．the government will receive more letters of complaint
C．college tuition fees will double soon
D．America’s unemployment will fall
【小題4】
What can we learn about the middle class families from the text?
A．They blamed the government for the tuition increase.
B．Their income remained steady in the last decade.
C．They will try their best to send kids to college.
D．Their debts will be paid off within 25 years.
【小題5】
According to the last paragraph, the government will      .
A．provide most students will scholarships
B．dismiss some financial aid administrators
C．stop the companies from making student loans
D．go on providing financial support for college students

The organization representing British universities has expressed concern about the potential effect of tuition fees（學(xué)費(fèi)）after figures showed a drop of more than 6% in student applications with less than a month to go before the deadline for 2013 applications.
Data from the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (Ucas) showed there were 265,784 university applications by UK-based candiates up to 17 Decemeber, 6.3% down on the parallel period in the admissions cycle the year before. While this is less than the 8.4% year-on-uear fall seen in earlier Ucas figures, released in mid-November, the coming January deadline makes it ever more likely that the total 2013 applicant figure will see a second sizeable fall following the introduction of annual fees of up to ￡9,000.
Nicola Dandridge, the chairman of Universities UK, said : “However, we must be concerned about any drops in the numbers applying to university and in particular, we must look closely at how the increase in graduate contributions in England may be affecting the decisions of promising students. However ,the December figures show a drop in numbers across the UK, suggesting that it is not only a question of tuition fees in England putting off from applying.”
A report of the Uncas figures to mid-December shows a 6.5% fall for applicants in England and 11.7% for those in Wales, with smaller drops of 3.9% for Scotland and 0.5% for Nortern Ireland. Scotiish students at home insitiutions pay on fees, while those from Nothern Ireland have fees capped to ￡3,575 for Northern Irish universities.
Dandridge added: “No one should be put off applying to university because of worries about finance.”
“It is important that no one is put off applying to university because they do not have information about the student support available to them. Most new students don’t need to pay directly. There will be more financial support for those from poorer families and everyone will make lower loan repayments thatn they do now once they are in well paid jobs.”
【小題1】A drop of more than 6% for 2013 applications is probably the effect of        .

A．the increased tuition fees
B．the approaching deadline
C．the concern from applicants
D．the difficulties with applications
【小題2】Compared with the previous year, the fall in student applications is         .
A．3.9%B．6%C．6.3%D．8.4%
【小題3】Why is the fall for application the smallest in Soctoland and Northem lreland?
A．Because they have more financial support.
B．Because the tuition is much cheaper for them.
C．Because the education is better there.
D．Because the universities are free for them.
【小題4】Which of the following is true?
A．The application for universities is on a rise continuously.
B．The fall for applications is due to family problems.
C．The education in Scotland and Northern Ireland is worse.
D．The rise of tuition fees has an effect on applications.
【小題5】The last paragraph tells us that        .
A．everyone should apply to university
B．students may get financial supports
C．lower loan repayments is unavailable
D．most new students will not pay fees

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2013屆江蘇省高二12月練習(xí)試題（英語(yǔ)） 題型：閱讀理解

Competition between international universities is heating up, as China grows as one of the largest exporters of students aiming to study abroad. “Lots of universities are becoming more and more aggressive to attract Chinese students. Every day I receive contacts from universities in the US expressing the desire to come to China to recruit students,” said Frank Joseph, a commercial officer from embassy of the United States.

One key reason why more Chinese students are able to study abroad is the economy: With China’s boom within the past decade, more families have the financial wherewithal (資金) to send their children to international universities. There will be a total of 200,000 family-funded Chinese students studying overseas in 2011, up 20 percent from last year, said Wu Zaofeng, deputy secretary general of China Education Association for International Exchange.

International institutions, Joseph said, are also facing increasingly tough financial situation with a shortage of domestic students and a drop in government subsidies (補(bǔ)貼). Students, especially in the US are paying high tuition fees and living expenses. Chinese students with money to spend, according to experts, can fill up the gap. Students on average spend 150,000 yuan to 200,000 yuan every year studying in US, according to statistics from the US Institute of International Education. During 2009-2010, there were approximately 81,000 Chinese students studying in the US, up 19.8 percent from 2008.

Representatives from approximately 60 universities from the United States are planning to arrive in Beijing this weekend to attract more Chinese students at this year’s fair. Besides the US, many other countries are also vying (競(jìng)爭(zhēng)) to enroll Chinese students.

Post-study work visa put out by British government allows all international students completing a UK degree qualification to apply for a visa to stay on and look for work in UK for up to 2 years. Being the third most popular destination for international students next to the US and the UK, France has set up two types of scholarships and has handed out an increase of 26 percent in scholarship funds to Chinese students in recent years.

1.The reason for heating up competition between international universities is __________.

A．that China has become one of the largest exporters of the students aiming to study abroad

B．China’s boom, the students’ desire and foreign universities’ commercial motive

C．that the students in China are becoming richer and richer

D．that the students in foreign countries do not want to go to universities

2. Why are more Chinese students able to study abroad?

A．Because their families have enough money to send them to international universities.

B．Because they can’t go to the best universities at home.

C．Because they want to win the scholarship of foreign universities

D．Because the Chinese students enjoy following others and they want to be independent.

3.Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A．In 2011 there will be 200,000 Chinese students studying in the US.

B．Chinese students are able to study abroad for their relatives overseas.

C．In 2011 there will be 200,000 state-funded Chinese students studying overseas.

D．There are fewer family-funded Chinese students studying abroad in 2010 than in 2011.

4. From the passage we can learn that __________.

A．the number of foreign students is becoming smaller and smaller

B．the international universities are short of money

C．there were approximately 81,000 foreign students studying in the US during 2009-2010

D．the Chinese students spend more money than the American students

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2010年遼寧省本溪市高一下學(xué)期期末考試英語(yǔ)卷 題型：閱讀理解

When the six very best students from different cities in Guangdong Province all together chose universities in Hong Kong; when the very best students of Beijing picked up HK University while giving up the nearby Beijing or Qinghua University; when the highest enrollment(錄取) rate of Hong Kong Science and Industry University reached 48:1, it’s the high time to ask where the real education heaven for students in China is.

Years ago, the answer certainly would be “Beijing or Qinghua University”. But now no one could give the exact reaction without hesitation. The only sure thing is that HK universities have gradually showed an unusual attraction to a great many mainland students.

It’s no doubt to call this HK craze (狂熱), which is even out of the expectation of those HK universities themselves.

How can HK universities shake the steady foundations of Beijing and Qinghua and attract so many mainland students?

First, Hong Kong universities offer large-amount scholarship, especially for the top students who can receive the sum scholarship as much as 400,000 HK dollars. Since higher education has become a kind of heavy burden of many families, it’s easy to understand why the reaction to the generous offering of HK universities is great.

Second, most HK universities receive professors and students from all over the world and carry out bilingual (雙語(yǔ)) education. This kind of excellent language atmosphere is another attraction for mainland students.

Furthermore, university students in Hong Kong have a better chance to study abroad as exchange students.

Can mainland top universities like Beijing or Qinghua University be calm as before when facing the unexpected competition from HK? Will they take relevant measures to win back the top students who once help them set the worldwide reputation? Time will explain it.

The fierce competition brought by HK universities can be a good thing for an entire improvement of education in China. After the awakening and action-taking of mainland universities, they can perform better together with HK universities.

At least, it reminded the mainland universities the tuition fees (學(xué)費(fèi)) are among students’ top concern when they are choosing universities. It’s time to move.

1.What is the passage mainly talking about?

 

A. Some thoughts brought by the enrollment of HK universities.

B. Higher education in Hong Kong.

C. The competition between HK University and Beijing University.

D. The fall of mainland universities.

2.Top students from mainland apply for HK universities because________.

A. many students now would love to study abroad to get a better experience

B. they concern only about the tuition fees when choosing universities

C. HK Universities offer higher scholarship, better environment and more opportunities for their further study

D. Beijing University has lost its worldwide reputation

3.What is the author’s attitude toward the competition brought by HK universities?

A. The government should take relevant measures to stop this unfair competition.

B. Mainland universities had better lower their tuition fees and win back the top students.

C. Universities both in mainland and in HK would get an entire improvement during the competition.

D. It may probably cause a complete loss to both sides in the end.

4. From the passage we can see HK universities________.

A. didn’t mean to enroll top students from mainland

B. didn’t expect their enrollment of mainland students would be so popular

C. have strict enrollment rules and only 1out of 48 students can get the chance to study there

D. are proud of their teaching staff and facilities
