As part of this initiative the

9、government _31_ extensive research to identify which attributes of a good product are most important to consumers. As income levels rise and education levels improve, consumers across the world are becoming interested in more than just the price and quality of the food they eat. Indeed, some consume

10、rs are now willing to pay extra money for food with a special nutritional or health _32_. In addition, some consumers are also choosing food based on how it was produced, including the environmental and _33_ impact of production. Victorias Department of Primary Industries designed and researched a r

11、eport that analyzes _34_ for food products with“trust”attributes, specifically food safety, clean food, green food, animal welfare and ethical food production. The report also determines the relative importance of the five nominated“trust”attributes and _35_ their importance in relation to non-trust

12、 attributes such as price and quality.“Consumers are becoming increasingly insightful when making _36_ decisions, and Victorias ability to demonstrate the trustworthiness of food products will be vital to maintain consumer _37_ in priority export markets,”the report says. Between February and June 2

13、004, the DPI interviewed 280 food industry shareholders, including retailers, wholesalers, foodservice managers, importers distributors and representatives of government, industry bodies and non-government _38_, in 21 of Victorias major food markets, including France, Japan, the UK and the US.The re

14、search found, perhaps _39_, that price, quality and food safety were the most important factors for consumers, with each factor _40_ as the most important by 18-20% of respondents. In fourth place, 8% of respondents felt flavor was the most important attribute of a food product for customers while 6

15、% thought freshness was most important, and 3% thought the appearance packaging was most important. Health nutrition, brand image, and clean chemical free were each considered most important by just 1-2% of interviewees. Reading ComprehensionSection A（15 points）Directions：For each blank in the follo

16、wing passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C, and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.From Oxfords quads to Harvard Yard and many a steel and glass palace of higher education in between, exams are given way to holidays. As students consider life a

17、fter graduation, universities are _41_ questions about their own future. The higher-education model of lecturing, cramming and examination has barely _42_ for centuries.Now, three disruptive waves are threatening to shake established ways of teaching and learning.On one front, a funding _43_ has cre

18、ated a shortage of fund that the universities brightest brains are struggling to solve. Institutions costs are rising, _44_ pricey investments in technology, teachers salaries and increasing administrative costs. That comes as governments conclude that they can no longer afford to subsidize（补贴）unive

19、rsities as _45_ as they used to. American colleges, in particular, are under pressure: some analysts predict mass bankruptcies within two decades.At the same time, a(n) _46_ revolution is challenging higher educations business model. A(n) _47_ in online learning, much of it free, means that the know

20、ledge once a lucky few hadexcess to has been released to anyone with a smartphone or laptop. These _48_ and technological disruptions coincide with a third great change: whereas universities used to educate only a tiny elite, they are now _49_ training and retraining workers throughout their careers

21、. How will they _50_ this stormand what will emerge in their place if they dont?The universities least likely to lose out to online competitors are elite institutions with established reputations and low student-to-tutor ratios. That is _51_ news for the Ivy League, which offer networking opportunit

22、ies to students alongside a degree. Those colleges might profit from expanding the ratio of online learning to classroom teaching, lowering their costs while still offering the prize of a college education conducted partly on campus.The most vulnerable, according to Jim Lerman of Kean University in

23、New Jersey, are the“middle-tier institutions, which produce Americas teachers, middle managers and administrators.”They could be _52_ in greater part by online courses, he suggests. So might weaker community colleges, although those which cultivate connections to local employers might yet prove resi

24、lient（有弹力的）.Since the first wave of massive online courses launched in 2012, an opposition has focused on their _53_ and commercial uncertainties. Yet if critics think they are immune to the march of the MOOC, they are almost certainly wrong. Whereas online courses can quickly _54_ their content and

25、 delivery mechanisms, universities are up against serious cost and efficiency problems, with little chances of taking more from the public purse.Without the personal touch, higher education could become“an icebound, petrified（石化的）cast-iron university.”That is what the new wave of high-tech courses s

49、ple piece of rope hangs between some environmentally friendly Americans and their neighbors. On one side stand those who have begun to see clothes dryersas a wasteful consumers of energy（up to 6% of total electricity）and powerful emitters of carbon dioxide（up to a ton of CO2 per household every year

50、）. As an alternative, they are turning to clotheslines as part of what Alexander Lee, an environmentalist, calls“what-I-can- do environmentalism.”But On the other side are people whooppose air-drying laundry outside on visual grounds. Increasingly, they have persuaded community and homeowners associ

51、ations (HOAs) access the U.S. to ban outdoor clotheslines, which they say not only look unattractive but also lower surrounding property values. Those actions, in turn, have led to a right-to-dry movement that is pressing for making laws to protect the choice to use clotheslines. Only three states-F

52、lorida, Hawaii and Utahhave laws written broadly enough to protect clotheslines. Right-to-dry advocates argue that there should be more.Matt Reck is the kind of eco-conscious guy who feeds his trees with bathwater and recycles condensation drops（冷凝水）from his air conditioners to water plants. His fam

53、ily also uses a clothesline. But Otto Hagen, president of Recks HOA in Wake Forest, N.C., notified him that a neighbor had complained about his line. The Recks ignored the warning and still dry their clothes on a rope in the yard. “Many people claim to be environmentally friendly but dont take matte

54、rs into their own hands,” says Reck. HOAs Hagen has decided to hold off taking action.“Im not going to go crazy,”he says.“But if Matt keeps his line and more neighbors complains, Ill have to address it again.”North Carolina lawmakers tried and failed earlier this year to insert language into an ener

55、gy bill that would expressly prevent HOAs from regulating clotheslines. But the issue remains a touchy one with HOAs and real estate agents.“Most visual restrictions are rooted, to a degree, in the belief that homogenous（统一协调的）external appearance are supportive of property value,”says Sara Stubbins,

56、 executive director of the Community Association Institutes North. Carolina chapter. In other words, associations worry that housing prices will fall if prospective buyers think their would-be neighbors are too poor to afford dryers. Alexander Lee dismisses the notion that clotheslines devalue prope

57、rty advocating that the idea“needs to change in light of global warming.”“We all have to do at least something to decrease our carbon footprint,”Alexander Lee says.63.

61、e sentences given below. Each sentence can be used once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. As to the possibility of getting the dropouts back on campus, the outlook was gloomy.B. Among the single most important personal reasons identified by dropouts for non-completion of their

62、 Ph. D. program, lack of finances was marked by 19%.C. They are not only doing well financially, but according to the report, are not far below the income levels of these who went on to complete their doctorates.D. With the international financial crises going from bad to worse, more and more dropou

63、ts are happy to resume their doctorate studies.E. The extent of the loss was, however, largely a matter of expert guessing.F. Attrition（流失）at the Ph. D. level is also thought to be a waste of precious faculty time and a drain on university resources already being used to capacity.Educators are serio

64、usly concerned about the high rate of dropouts among the doctor of philosophy candidates and the consequent loss of talent to a nation in need of Ph.D.s. Some have placed the dropouts loss as high as 50 percent._67_ Last week a well-rounded study was published. It was published. It was based on 22,0

65、00 questionnaires sent to former graduate students who were enrolled in 24 universities and it seemed to show many past fears to be groundless.Discussing the study last week, Dr. Tucker said the project was initiated because of the concern frequently expressed by graduate faculties and administrator

66、s that some of the individuals who dropped out of Ph.D. programs were capable of competing the requirement for the degree. _68_ Some people expressed the opinion that the shortage of highly trained specialists and college teachers could be reduced by persuading the dropouts to return to graduate sch

67、ools to complete the Ph.D.Nearly 75 per cent of the dropouts said there was no academic reason for their decision, but those who mentioned academic reason cited failure to pass the qualifying examination, uncompleted research and failure to pass language exams. _69_As an indication of how well the d

68、ropouts were doing, a chart showed 2% in humanities were receiving $20,000 and more annually while none of the Ph. D.s with that background reached this figure. The PhDs shone in the $7,500 to $15,000 bracket with 78% at that level against 50% for the dropouts. This may also be an indication of the

69、fact that top salaries in the academic fields, where Ph. D.s tend to rise to the highest salaries, are still lagging behind other fields. _70_ The main condition which would have to prevail for at least 25 % of the dropouts who might consider returning to graduate school would be to guarantee that t

70、hey would retain their present level of income and in some cases their present job. . Summary Writing 10%Directions：Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.Learn from mistakesThe best

71、 way to learn something is to make mistakes first. Thomas Edison, who invented the light bulb, told his colleagues:“Of the 200 light bulbs that didnt work, every failure told me something I was able to incorporate into the next attempt.”Benjamin Franklin, the US statesman andscientist once said：“I h

72、avent failed. I have had 10,000 ideas that didnt work.”Both these people understood that failures and false starts are the condition of success. In fact, a surprising number of everyday objects had their beginnings in a mistake or a misunderstanding. Post-it notes, packets of crisps and even bread a

73、re all unexpected inventions. In 2600 BC, a tired Egyptian slave invented bread when the dough rose during his sleep. And crisps were first cooked by a chef in the USA when a customer complained that his fried potatoes were not thin enough.In 1968 Spencer Silver was trying to develop a strong adhesi

74、ve when he accidentally invented a very weak glue instead. His colleague, Art Fry, decided to use it six years later, in 1974, to hold his bookmarks in his books and the post-it note was invented.Successful businesspeople have often made big, expensive mistakes in their past. When an employee of IBM

75、 made a mistake that cost the company $600,000. Thomas Watson, the chairman, was asked if he would fire the man.“Of course not,”he replied.“I have just spent $600,000 training him. I am not going to let another company benefit from experience.”The important thing to remember is that you need to lear

76、n from your mistakes. If you dont, then there is no sense in making them.第 卷.
