15、 part. 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 the Answer Sheet 1 with a single line through the center.Passage OneQuestions 31 to 35

16、are based on the following passage.Educators are seriously concerned about the high rate of dropouts (辍学者) 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. The extent of the loss was

17、, however, largely a matter of expert guessing. Last week a well-rounded study was published. It was published. It was based on 22,000 questionnaires sent to former graduate students who were enrolled in 24 universities and it seemed to show many past fears to be groundless.The dropouts rate was fou

18、nd to be 31 per cent, and in most cases the dropouts, while not completing the Ph. D. requirement, went on to productive work. They are not only doing well financially, but, according to the report, are not far below the income levels of those who went on to complete their doctorates.Discussing the

19、study last week, Dr. Tucker said the project was initiated because of the concern frequently expressed by graduate faculties and administrators that some of the individuals who dropped out of Ph. D. programs were capable of competing the requirement for the degree. Attrition (缩/减员，磨损) at the Ph. D.

20、level is also thought to be a waste of precious faculty time and a drain on university resources already being used to capacity. 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 sc

21、hools to complete the Ph. D.“The results of our research” Dr. Tucker concluded, “did not support these opinions.”1.Lack of motivation was the principal reason for dropping out.2.Most dropouts went as far in their doctoral program as was consistent with their levels of ability or their specialities.3

22、.Most dropouts are now engaged in work consistent with their education and motivation.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

23、 pass language exams. Among the single most important personal reasons identified by dropouts for non-completion of their Ph. D. program, lack of finances was marked by 19 per cent.As an indication of how well the dropouts were doing, a chart showed 2% in humanities were receiving $ 20,000 and more

24、annually while none of the Ph. D. s with that background reached this figure. The Ph. D.s shone in the $ 7,500 to $ 15,000 bracket (一类人，阶层) with 78% at that level against 50% for the dropouts. This may also be an indication of the fact that top salaries in the academic fields, where Ph. D. s tend to

25、 rise to the highest salaries, are still lagging behind other fields.As to the possibility of getting dropouts back on campus, the outlook was glum(阴郁的). 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 guara

26、ntee that they would retain their present level of income and in some cases their present job.31. The author states that many educators feel thatA steps should be taken to get the dropouts back to campus.B the fropouts should return to a lower quality school to continue their study.C the Ph. D. hold

27、er is generally a better adjusted person than the dropout.D The high dropouts rate is largely attributable to the lack of stimulation on the part of faculty members.32. Research has shown thatA Dropouts are substantially below Ph. D. s in financial attainment.B the incentive factor is a minor one in

28、 regard to pursuing Ph. D. studies.C The Ph. D. candidate is likely to change his field of specialization if he drops out.D about one-third of those who start Ph. D. work do not complete the work to earn the degree.33. Meeting foreign language requirements for the Ph. D.A is the most frequent reason

29、 for dropping out.B is more difficult for the science candidate than for the humanities candidate.C is an essential part of many Ph. D. programs.D does not vary in difficulty among universities.34. After reading the article, one would refrain from concluding thatA optimism reigns in regard to gettin

30、g Ph. D. dropouts to return to their pursuit of the degree.B a Ph. D. dropout, by and large, does not have what it takes to learn the degree.C colleges and universities employ a substantial number of Ph. D. dropouts.D Ph. D. s are not earning what they deserve in nonacademic positions.35. It can be

31、inferred that the high rate of dropouts lies inA salary for Ph. D. too low.B academic requirement too high.C salary for dropouts too high.D 1000 positions.Passage TwoQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.The Norwegian Government is doing its best to keep the oil industry under contro

32、l. A new law limits exploration to an area south of the southern end of the long coastline; production limits have been laid down (though these have already been raised); and oil companies have not been allowed to employ more than a limited number of foreign workers. But the oil industry has a way o

33、f getting over such problems, and few people believe that the Government will be able to hold things back for long. As on Norwegian politician said last week: “We will soon be changed beyond all recognition.”Ever since the war, the Government has been carrying out a programme of development in the a

34、rea north of the Arctic Circle. During the past few years this programme has had a great deal of success: Tromso has been built up into a local capital with a university, a large hospital and a healthy industry. But the oil industry has already started to draw people south, and within a few years th

35、e whole northern policy could be in ruins.The effects of the oil industry would not be limited to the north, however. With nearly 100 percent employment, everyone can see a situation developing in which the service industries and the tourist industry will lose more of their workers to the oil indust

36、ry. Some smaller industries might even disappear altogether when it becomes cheaper to buy goods from abroad.The real argument over oil is its threat to the Norwegian way of life. Farmers and fishermen do not make up most of the population, but they are an important part of it, because Norwegians se

37、e in them many of the qualities that they regard with pride as essentially Norwegian. And it is the farmers and the fishermen who are most critical of the oil industry because of the damage that it might cause to the countryside and to the sea.36. The Norwegian Government would prefer the oil indust

38、ry toA provide more jobs for foreign workers.B slow down the rate of its development.C sell the oil it is producing abroad.D develop more quickly than at present.37. The Norwegian Government has tried toA encourage the oil companies to discover new oil sources.B prevent oil companies employing peopl

39、e from northern Norway.C help the oil companies solve many of their problems.D keep the oil industry to something near its present size.38. According to the passage, the oil industry might lead northern Norway toA the development of industry.B a growth in population.C the failure of the development

40、programme.D the development of new towns.39. In the south, one effect to the development of the oil industry might beA a large reduction on unemployment.B a growth in the tourist industry.C a reduction in the number of existing industries.D the development of a number of service industries.40. Norwe

41、gian farmers and fishermen have an important influence becauseA they form such a large part of Norwegian ideal.B their lives and values represent the Norwegian ideal.C their work is so useful to the rest of Norwegian society.D they regard oil as a threat to the Norwegian way of life.Passage ThreeQue

42、stions 41 to 45 are based on the following passagePolice fired tear gas and arrested more than 5,000 passively resisting protestors Friday in an attempt to break up the largest antinuclear demonstration ever staged in the United States. More than 135,000 demonstrators confronted police on the constr

43、uction site of a 1,000-megawatt nuclear power plant scheduled to provide power to most of southern New Hampshire. Organizers of the huge demonstration said, the protest was continuing despite the police actions. More demonstrators were arriving to keep up the pressure on state authorities to cancel

44、the project. The demonstrator had charged that the project was unsafe in the densely populated area, would create thermal pollution in the bay, and had no acceptable means for disposing of its radioactive wasters. The demonstrations would go on until the jails and the courts were so overloaded that

45、the state judicial system would collapse.Governor Stanforth Thumper insisted that there would be no reconsideration of the power project and no delay in its construction set for completion in three years. “This project will begin on time and the people of this state will begin to receive its benefit

46、s on schedule. Those who break the law in misguided attempts to sabotage the project will be dealt with according to the law,” he said. And police called in reinforcements from all over the state to handle the disturbances.The protests began before dawn Friday when several thousand demonstrators bro

47、ke through police lines around the cordoned-off construction site. They carried placards that read “No Nukes is Good Nukes,” “Sunpower, Not Nuclear Power,” and “Stop Private Profits from Public Peril.” They defied police order to move from the area. Tear gas canisters fired by police failed to dislodge the
