32、ut UK higher education is having to go to the pub. “Its how much you need to invest socially with other students,” she says. “I dont like going to a pub or club, but people just keep going out and I feel the pressure to go out too.” This is because, unlike in China, she says, there is so much emphas

33、is during the course on teamwork and group projects, so socialising with other students especially British people, is crucial.Liu, 23, who is in her final year of a BSc in business administration at the University of Bath, is one of more than 80,000 Chinese students studying in UK universities. They

34、 are responsible for a large proportion of the more than 10bn a year that international students contribute to the UK economy. However, research shows that where their academic attainment(成就) is concerned, the picture is not satisfactory. While nearly 58% of all students and 45% of overseas students

35、 graduated with a first-class degree last year, this was true of only 35% of students from China.To find an explanation, Zhiqi Wang and Ian Crawford, lecturers at the University of Bath, compared the performance of Chinese and British undergraduates in each year of their degree. Taking a sample of 1

36、00 British and Chinese students and comparing their average marks and final degree classification, they found a dramatic drop in performance among the Chinese students between year one, when they performed better than their UK counterparts, and year two, when they performed worse.They believe the dr

37、op results from two factors. First, Chinese students fail to adapt their approaches to learning and so their performance declines in the later years when the complexity of the work increases. Second, many young people in China enroll in higher education due to pressure from family rather than their

38、own motivation.Professor Sedghi thinks part of the problem may be the changing socio-economic background of Chinese undergraduates. While 85% of Chinese students at British universities before 2000 were mature students, often funded by the government, since 2004, however, they have been younger, mos

39、t funded by their families.Maybe UK institutions need to work harder to take into account what a big challenge it is for young people from a radically different culture and linguistic background to adapt to life in the UK. “We need to do more, contacting students before their arrival, assigning them

40、 tutors, encouraging peer-assisted learning, for example,” says Sedghi.58. What can be inferred about Yali Liu from the passage? A. She is not good at socialising with local students. B. She is bored with the teamwork and group projects. C. Her family cant afford her education in the UK.D. The unive

41、rsity wont award her a first-class degree.59. Which of the following is NOT a possible factor for Chinese students unsatisfactory attainment? A. They dont adjust their studying methods in time. B. They are lacking in motivation to achieve success. C. They are too young and mostly come from poor fami

42、lies. D. They havent got necessary support from the UK universities.60. The passage mainly talks about in UK universities. A. the great pressure Chinese students are sufferingB. cultural differences between the east and the west C. main reasons for Chinese students poor performance D. possible solut

43、ions to the problems facing Chinese students CFor years, scientists and others concerned about climate change have been talking about the need for carbon capture and storage (CCS). That is the term for removing carbon dioxide from, say, a coal-burning power plants smokestack and pumping it deep unde

44、rground to keep it out of the atmosphere, where it would otherwise contribute to global warming. However, currently, only one power plant in Canada captures and stores carbon on a commercial scale (and it has been having problems). Among the concerns about storage is that carbon dioxide in gaseous o

45、r liquid form that is pumped underground might escape back to the atmosphere. So storage sites would have to be monitored, potentially for decades or centuries.But scientists at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory at Columbia University and other institutions have come up with a different way to store

46、CO2 that might eliminate that problem. Their approach involves dissolving the gas with water and pumping the resulting mixture soda water, essentially down into certain kinds of rocks, where the CO2 reacts with the rock to form a mineral called calcite(方解石). By turning the gas into stone, scientists

47、 can lock it away permanently. Volcanic rocks called basalts(玄武岩) are excellent for this process, because they are rich in calcium, magnesium and iron, which react with CO2.The project called CarbFix started in Iceland, 2012, when the scientists pumped about 250 tons of carbon dioxide, mixed with wa

48、ter, about 1,500 feet down into porous basalt. Early signs were encouraging: The scientists found that about 95 percent of the carbon dioxide was changed into calcite. And even more importantly, they wrote, the change happened relatively quickly in less than two years.“Its beyond all our expectation

49、s,” said Edda Aradottir, who manages the project. Rapid change of the CO2 means that a project would probably have to be monitored for a far shorter time than a more conventional storage site.There are still concerns about whether the technology will prove useful in the fight against global warming.

50、 For one thing, it would have to be scaled up enormously. For another, a lot of water is needed 25 tons of it for every ton of CO2 along with the right kind of rock.But the researchers say that there is enough porous basaltic rock in Iceland, including in the ocean floors and along the margins of co

51、ntinents. And sitting a storage project in or near the ocean could potentially solve the water problem at the same time, as the researchers say seawater would work just fine.61. What can we learn about CCS in Paragraphs 2 and 3?A. Scientists believe global warming will be avoided if CO2 is pumped un

52、derground.B. Its been a common practice in many plants to capture and store CO2 underground.C. There is no guarantee that CO2 will not escape even if pumped underground.D. It requires decades to turn CO2 into liquid form and be locked underground.62. What materials should be involved in the project

53、CarbFix?A. Water, CO2, soda water and basaltsB. Water, soda water, a pump and calciteC. CO2, basalts, a pump and calciteD. Water, CO2, a pump and basalts63. According to Edda Aradottir, the result of the project was beyond the researchers expectations, because .A. its disappointing to discover new p

54、roblems caused by rapid changeB. its amazing to see 95% of the carbon dioxide turn into calcite that fastC. its puzzling to find the encouraging but unexpected result of the projectD. its exciting to sense the problem of storing CO2 likely to be solved64. What is the authors purpose in writing the p

55、assage?A. To inform us of a breakthrough in storing CO2.B. To praise the efforts of scientists in storing CO2.C. To show the different ways to fight against CO2.D. To urge people to produce the least possible CO2.D“What defines you?” Thats what Lizzie Velasquez asked the crowds of people who came to hear her motivational speeches. Due to a rare syndrome(综合症), from the second when Velasquez was born incredibly ugly, the doctors prepared her parents to accept absolutely noth
