(2)Section B
Directions: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once.
Degrees are great, but internships make a difference
A).Traditionally, earning a college degree has been cause for celebration. For most, the achievement signaled the onset of adulthood and offered the promise of a career that would start in mere months, if not weeks. But in today's job market, undergraduates who leave school armed only with a degree may not be so fortunate.
B).In 2000, more than 1.2 million people received bachelor's degrees in the United States. This year, that number is expected to rise 30 percent to more than 1.6 million, according to estimates by the National Center for Education Statistics. That hike(突然提高. has far outpaced the country's increase in population over the past decade, tripling the Census Bureau's projected rate of population growth over the same period. "With the increased number of students, if I'm an employer or a medical school or business school, finding a student who has a good GPA isn't particularly tough anymore," says Dan Gomez-Palacio, assistant director of career services at Westminster College in Missouri. "So, what is going to separate you from your peers?"
C).The answer: internships(实习.. University officials and employers almost universally maintain that partaking in an internship-or several, which sets a student apart from his peers even more-before graduation is integral to finding meaningful employment in today's seemingly impenetrable job market. More than ever, schools across the country are pushing students of all majors toward internships, and several have even added them to their graduation requirements. "These internships give these students an edge that they would not have otherwise," says Patricia Cormier, president of Longwood University in Virginia, which requires an internship of all graduates. "It always amazes me that higher education didn't think of this sooner. For me it's a no-brainer. If you are going to position your students well, you've got to give them this exposure before they graduate."
D).Longwood, with an enrollment of roughly 4,800, saw 74 percent of their 2008 graduating class attain jobs within six months of graduation, despite the fact that students were thrust into one of the worst job markets on record. Two years ago, officials at Eastern Connecticut State University decided to institute a pre-professional experience requirement for students. Rhona Free, vice president of academic affairs at Eastern Connecticut, says the school wants not only to educate students but to prepare them for their working lives after school through experience-based learning. "Students worry, 'if I'm an English major, can I get a job?'" she says. "We want them to know that before they leave here, they will have been in a setting that's like one they'll go to work in."
E).While smaller schools are able to ensure their students can meet the internship requirement by forming partnerships with local companies and working one-on-one with students to facilitate their hunt for internship, the task is more daunting for larger schools. Finding an employer base near a large university that can support the influx(涌入. of thousands of interns is a daunting, if not impossible, task. For that reason, many large schools have shied away from requiring internships but still take pains to make the importance of work experience known to their students. Plus, some programs within large institutions do require internships. It's a common practice in fields where prior work experience is integral to the hiring process, like business and journalism.
F).The college of Liberal Arts and Sciences at Villanova University in Pennsylvania does not require internships, but students are emailed a weekly list of internship openings and are constantly reminded of their importance. The college's website even proclaims:"INTERNSHIPS... don't leave Villanova without one." Such marketing efforts have paid off. The school has seen a 30-percent jump in enrollment in internships in the past three years alone. Such efforts are lauded(称赞. by large employers that hire a bulk of their interns. Accounting giant PricewaterhouseCoopers, for instance, draws more than 70 percent of its new hires from its internship program. "Schools that focus on accommodating internships as part of their course curriculum position their students very well for future employment," says Holly Paul, national recruiting leader at PricewaterhouseCooper.
G).Recent graduated who are listened to such advice are reaping the rewards. Ryan Mossman, who graduated from Boston College with a degree in English in May 2009, said that although Boston College did not require that he take an internship, the school regularly emphasized their importance. After a discouraging job search in the months leading up to his graduation, Mossman decided an internship was the best, if not the only, way for him to launch his career. Instead of aimlessly searching for job openings as he claimed many of his peers did after graduation, he took an internship at LVM Group, a public-relations firm, soon after graduating. The internship eventually led to a full-time position as an assistant account executive with the company. Meanwhile, he says many of his friends sit at home with their degrees, waiting for a job to fall in their laps. "Had I not taken a post-graduation internship, I think I'd be in the same position they are," he says.

(12)Section C
Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A’B’C’and D’ You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.
Passage One
Questions 76 to 80 are based on the following passage.
It has often been said by people involved in language teaching that a student who really wants to learn will succeed whatever the circumstances are under which he studies. It is certainly true that students do learn in unfavorable conditions, and it is also true that students often succeed using methods that experts have considered unsatisfactory. All teachers can think of some students who are significantly better than their peers, and it seems reasonable to suggest that the motivation of the student is perhaps the single most important thing that he brings to the classroom.
Motivation is some kind of internal drive that encourages somebody to pursue a course of action. It seems to be the case that if we perceive a goal and if that goal is sufficiently attractive, we will be strongly motivated to do whatever is necessary to reach that goal. Of course, goals may be of many different types. Language learners who are motivated also perceive goals of various types, and here we might immediately make a distinction between short-term goals and long-term goals. Long-term goals might have something to do with a student's wish to get a better job or become a member of the target language community. Short-term goals might include such things as the urge to pass an end-of-term or end-of-semester exam or complete a unit successfully. It seems possible to suggest that a teacher will find a strongly motivated student with a long-term goal easier to teach than a student who has to study the language because it is on the curriculum and who does not have such a goal. For the latter type of student short-term goals will often be the source of any motivation he has.

A. The way of teaching.

(17)Passage Two
Questions 81 to 85 are based on the following passage.
Reform of the Chinese banking sector has obviously become faster as the nation entered its third year of World Trade Organization (WTO. accession.
The central government has decided on a long-awaited reform plan for the four State-owned commercial banks.
"Before 2006 (when China fully opens up the banking sector., if we do not improve the comprehensive competitiveness of Chinese banks, especially the four State-owned commercial banks, the gap between Chinese and foreign banks will broaden," Wang Shuning, an official of Bank of China said. "The results will not only include a huge effect on Chinese banks, but a delay to the process of reform and development, therefore bringing serious consequences to the entire economy."
Chinese banks are falling behind their foreign competitors in some key areas. But the opening process is faster than they would like to see. In the latest step, China has allowed foreign banks to provide renminbi services to Chinese businesses in 13 Chinese large cities.

Eighty-four of the 191 foreign banks operating in China now hold a renminbi license. They saw their profits from renminbi operations increase by 37 per cent on a year-on-year basis in the first 10 months of this year.
