Part III Reading Comprehension (30 points, 2 points each) Directions: In this part there are 3 passages. Each passage is followed by 5 questions or unfinished sentences. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and mark your choice on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage 1 Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage. An increase in students applying to study economics at university is being attributed to the global economic crisis awakening a public thirst for knowledge about how the financial system works. Applications for degree courses beginning this autumn were up by 15% this January, according to UCAS, the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service. A spokesman for the Royal Economic Society said applications to do economics at A-level were also up. Professor John Beath, the president of the society and a leading lecturer at St. Andrews University, said his first-year lectures—which are open to students from all departments—were drawing crowds of 400, rather than the usual 250. “There are a larger number of students who are not economics majors, who would like to learn something about it. One of the things I have done this year is to relate my teaching to contemporary events in a way that one hasn‘t traditionally done,” he added. University applications rose 7% last year, but there were rises above average in several subjects. Nursing saw a 15% jump, with people’s renewed interest in careers in the public sector, which are seen as more secure in economic crisis. A recent study showed almost two thirds of parents believed schools should do more to teach pupils about financial matters, and almost half said their children had asked them what was going on, although a minority of parents felt they did not understand it themselves well enough to explain. Zack Hocking, the head of Child Trust Funds, said, “It’s possible that one good thing to arise from the downturn will be a generation that’s financially wiser and better equipped to manage their money through times of economic uncertainty. 31. Professor John Beath’s lectures are _______. A. given in a traditional way B. connected with the present situation C. open to both students and their parents D. warmly received by economists 32. Careers in the public sector are more attractive because of their _______. A. greater stability B. higher pay C. fewer applications D. better reputation 33. In the opinion of most parents, _______. A. economics should be the focus of school teaching B. more students should be admitted to universities C. the teaching of financial matters should be strengthened D. children should solve financial problems themselves 34. According to Hocking, the global economic crisis might make the youngsters _______. A. wiser in money management B. have access to better equipment C. confident about their future careers D. get jobs in Child Trust Funds 35. What’s the main idea of the text? 第 3 页 共 6页
