1、江苏省如皋中学20112012学年度第一学期质量检测高二英语(国际班)Part I Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) (15 minutes)Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions For questions 1-7, choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). For
2、 questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.Minority ReportAmerican universities are accepting more minorities than ever. Graduating them is another matter.Barry Mills, the president of Bowdoin College, was justifiably proud of Bowdoins efforts to recruit minori
3、ty students. Since 2003 the small, elite liberal arts school in Brunswick, Maine, has boosted the proportion of so-called under-represented minority students in entering freshman classes from 8% to 13%. It is our responsibility to reach out and attract students to come to our kinds of places, he tol
4、d a NEWSWEEK reporter. But Bowdoin has not done quite as well when it comes to actually graduating minorities. While 9 out of 10 white students routinely get their diplomas within six years, only 7 out of 10 black students made it to graduation day in several recent classes.If you look at who enters
5、 college, it now looks like America, says Hilary Pennington, director of postsecondary programs for the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which has closely studied enrollment patterns in higher education. But if you look at who walks across the stage for a diploma, its still largely the white, upper-
6、income population.The United States once had the highest graduation rate of any nation. Now it stands 10th. For the first time in American history, there is the risk that the rising generation will be less well educated than the previous one. The graduation rate among 25- to 34-year-olds is no bette
7、r than the rate for the 55- to 64-year-olds who were going to college more than 30 years ago. Studies show that more and more poor and non-white students want to graduate from college but their graduation rates fall far short of their dreams. The graduation rates for blacks, Latinos, and Native Amer
8、icans lag far behind the graduation rates for whites and Asians. As the minority population grows in the United States, low college graduation rates become a threat to national prosperity.The problem is pronounced at public universities. In 2007 the University of Wisconsin-Madison one of the top fiv
9、e or so prestigious public universities graduated 81% of its white students within six years, but only 56% of its blacks. At less-selective state schools, the numbers get worse. During the same time frame, the University of Northern Iowa graduated 67% of its white students, but only 39% of its black
10、s. Community colleges have low graduation rates generally but rock-bottom rates for minorities. A recent review of California community colleges found that while a third of the Asian students picked up their degrees, only 15% of African-Americans did so as well.Private colleges and universities gene
11、rally do better, partly because they offer smaller classes and more personal attention. But when it comes to a significant graduation gap, Bowdoin has company. Nearby Colby College logged an 18-point difference between white and black graduates in 2007 and 25 points in 2006. Middlebury College in Ve
12、rmont, another top school, had a 19-point gap in 2007 and a 22-point gap in 2006. The most selective private schools Harvard, Yale, and Princeton show almost no gap between black and white graduation rates. But that may have more to do with their ability to select the best students. According to dat
13、a gathered by Harvard Law School professor Lani Guinier, the most selective schools are more likely to choose blacks who have at least one immigrant parent from Africa or the Caribbean than black students who are descendants of American slaves.Higher education has been able to duck this issue for ye
14、ars, particularly the more selective schools, by saying the responsibility is on the individual student, says Pennington of the Gates Foundation. If they fail, its their fault. Some critics blame affirmative action students admitted with lower test scores and grades from shaky high schools often str
15、uggle at elite schools. But a bigger problem may be that poor high schools often send their students to colleges for which they are undermatched: they could get into more elite, richer schools, but instead go to community colleges and low-rated state schools that lack the resources to help them. Som
16、e schools out for profit cynically increase tuitions and count on student loans and federal aid to foot the bill knowing full well that the students wont make it. The school keeps the money, but the kid leaves with loads of debt and no degree and no ability to get a better job. Colleges are not hold
17、ing up their end, says Amy Wilkins of the Education Trust.A college education is getting ever more expensive. Since 1982 tuitions have been rising at roughly twice the rate of inflation. In 2008 the net cost of attending a four-year public university after financial aid equaled 28% of median (中间的) f
18、amily income, while a four-year private university cost 76% of median family income. More and more scholarships are based on merit, not need. Poorer students are not always the best-informed consumers. Often they wind up deeply in debt or simply unable to pay after a year or two and must drop out.Th
19、ere once was a time when universities took pride in their dropout rates. Professors would begin the year by saying, Look to the right and look to the left. One of you is not going to be here by the end of the year. But such a Darwinian spirit is beginning to give way as at least a few colleges face
20、up to the graduation gap. At the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the gap has been roughly halved over the last three years. The university has poured resources into peer counseling to help students from inner-city schools adjust to the rigor (严格要求) and faster pace of a university classroom and also
21、 to help minority students overcome the stereotype that they are less qualified. Wisconsin has a laserlike focus on building up student skills in the first three months, according to vice provost (教务长) Damon Williams.State and federal governments could sharpen that focus everywhere by broadly publis
22、hing minority graduation rates. For years private colleges such as Princeton and MIT have had success bringing minorities onto campus in the summer before freshman year to give them some preparatory courses. The newer trend is to start recruiting poor and non-white students as early as the seventh g
23、rade, using innovative tools to identify kids with sophisticated verbal skills. Such programs can be expensive, of course, but cheap compared with the millions already invested in scholarships and grants for kids who have little chance to graduate without special support.With effort and money, the g
24、raduation gap can be closed. Washington and Lee is a small, selective school in Lexington, Va. Its student body is less than 5% black and less than 2% Latino. While the school usually graduated about 90% of its whites, the graduation rate of its blacks and Latinos had dipped to 63% by 2007. We went
25、through a dramatic shift, says Dawn Watkins, the vice president for student affairs. The school aggressively pushed mentoring (辅导) of minorities by other students and partnering with parents at a special pre-enrollment session. The school had its first-ever black homecoming. Last spring the school g
26、raduated the same proportion of minorities as it did whites. If the United States wants to keep up in the global economic race, it will have to pay systematic attention to graduating minorities, not just enrolling them.1.What is the authors main concern about American higher education?A) The small p
