正确答案：(
WHAT A COLLEGE EDUCATION MEANS TO ME
What does a college education mean to me? This is a good question but I have never given much
thought to it. Finishing the primary and secondary school as a top student, I just took it for
granted that I should go on to college for higher education. Now that I am asked to write on this
topic, I have to cudgel my brains, trying to provide a presentable answer to it.
To begin with, I believe a college or university is the best place where I can satisfy my desire
for learning. I remember as I proceeded through high school into junior and senior years, I became
genuinely interested in chemistry and physics. I felt that I wanted to further my studies in these
subjects, and that I would never be content to end up as a high school graduate. It was then that
I began to feel a deep yearning for knowledge. And as my high school years drew to a close, the
decision to attend college seemed only too natural.
Up to now, I have been at college for more than two years. I have learn ed from my own experience
that the college is not merely a good place to seek scientific truth but also an ideal place to
broaden one's horizon. With courses and lectures available in different fields, college life keeps
me in close contact with a variety of new social and political ideas. And living on campus also
gives me the opportunity to meet different people, accumulate new experiences and know well about
the world we live in.
Here, I don't want to conceal my motivation on the practical side. In today's society, college
education has become an essential part of career preparation for students. The job market is so
competitive and this trend will surely continue in the coming years. A bachelor's degree or a
master's degree is all but indispensable if one wishes to find a satisfying professional job.
And in this sense, I do hope our current educational system can teach us young people the skills,
both scholastic and financial, that we will need not only to survive but to flourish in today's
world as well.)

preserve natural resources.
解析：[听力原文]26-28
The World Social Forum met for the first time at the end of last month in Porto Alegre, Brazil.
The World Social Forum is a new international conference that will meet every year. Its goal is
to create and exchange social and economic projects. The projects will support human rights, social
justice and development that does not waste natural resources.
Most of the representatives at the recent World Social Forum oppose globalization. They do not
agree with the economic theory of a worldwide economy. Some people attending the forum wanted
to end the movement toward a global economy. Others wanted to reform it.
Activists at the World Social Forum say globalization policies have caused a greater inequality
between the poorest and the richest people in the world. The Forum met to find ways to support
economic policies based on the needs of poor people and the environment.

United Nations studies show that the poorest 20% of the world's people have lost half of their
share of the world's income since 1960. Their share dropped from 2.4% to 1.1%. During the same
years, income increased for the richest twenty percent of the population. The rich people increased
their share of world income from 69% to 86%.
26. What is the purpose of the World Social Forum?
e it has widened the gap between the very rich and the very poor. √
e it has proven an oppressive economic policy.
e it has totally ignored the needs of the poorest people.
e it has caused worldwide environmental problems.

the item. √
the store.
the window.
the stall.
解析：[听力原文]29-31
What happens when a merchant displays an item in his store window with a price tag on it? Must
the merchant sell the item if the money is offered? It is a fact of law that a display of goods
in a store window is not an offer to sell those goods, which can be accepted by a customer saying
he will buy them. Instead, the display is known as an invitation by the merchant to receive offers
from potential customers. The customer makes the offer to buy and the merchant may accept that
offer. Then the goods are sold. But the merchant need not accept the offer, and without such
acceptance, the customer cannot obtain the goods or sue the merchant for not letting him have
them.
Unless the seller accepts the offer by taking cash from the customer, the seller is allowed to
change his mind. The merchant may want to take back the goods because they have been displayed
by mistake or had the wrong price written on them, and he or she would have the legal right to
do this.
29. Where is the price tag put?
money is offered.
the customer says he will buy them.
the merchant accepts the offer of the buyer. √
of the above.
解析：[听力原文]
When can goods be sold?
, he is not allowed to change his mind.

十四、A growing number of scientists insist that answers to the world's problems
will not come from a (36) array of electronics and machines.(总题数：1，分数：77.00)

填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：flashier）
解析：[听力原文]36-46
A growing number of scientists insist that answers to the world's problems will not come from
a (36) flashier array of electronics and machines. In stead, as they see it, solutions must (37)
evolve from a better understanding of the humans that drive the system and from a fuller (38)
appreciation of the limits and potential of the earth's resources.
What this means is an increased (39) emphasis on the life and earth sciences, on sociology,
psychology, economics and even philosophy.
More and more of the best minds in science, particularly young researchers, are being drawn into
these (40) developing fields.
Industry officials are concerned by a (41) declining rate of innovation in technology. Patent
applications by Americans have been (42) dropping in the U.' S. since 1971. Yet many scientists
seem to be saying: The need for better televisions, bigger power plants and faster
airplanes—markers of rapid-fire technological creativity—is becoming (43) marginal at best.
(44) The market in the industrialized nations for this kind of technology is reaching a saturation
point.
All this is not to say that technological creativity will not play a critical role in solving
energy and food shortages, or that (45) answers to environmental difficulties will not come from
further advances in the same technologies that may have helped cause the problems.
Where the real challenge lies is (46) in finding ways to produce goods to meet the world's needs,
using less of the raw materials that are becoming scarce.
