The ownership of large amounts of capital can bring 1 profits, as well as economic and political power. Some recent theorists, 2 , hav

On

4、e important change in such a society is that the ownership of 4 amounts of capital is no longer the only or even the most important 5 of profits and influence; knowledge as well as 6 capital brings profits and influence.

Many new high-tech jobs are being created at the upper-middle-class level, but even more new jobs are being created in the low-skill, low-paying service 17. Something like a caste line is emerging centered around

8、 knowledge. Individuals who fall too far behind in the 18 of knowledge at a young age will find it almost impossible to catch later, no matter how hard they try.

14、eople are expected to start learning English within a decade and three billion will speak it, says a British Council estimate. Other languages, such as French, risk becoming the casualties of this “linguistic globalization”. But the boom will be over by 2050 中国考博辅导首选学校中国考博辅导首选学校 and the Englishlangu

15、age teaching industry will have become a victim of its own success, says David Graddol, author of the report, The Future of English. Mr. Graddols research was based on a computer model developed to estimate demand for Englishlanguage teaching around the world. The lecturer, who has worked in educati

16、on and language studies at the Open University for the past 25 years, said the model charted likely student numbers through to 2050. It was compiled by looking at various estimates from the United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization (Unesco) on education provision, demographic pr

17、ojections, government education policies and international student mobility figures. The impact of educational innovations and other developments affecting the world population including the Chinese governments policy of one baby per family were also factored in. Based on its findings, Mr. Graddol h

18、as predicted that the world is about to be hit by a tidal wave of English. “Many governments, especially in countries which have relatively recently gained independence, are introducing the teaching of English under a utilitarian banner.” “But English predominates in the business world, and for such

19、 countries to be able to compete for work, including lucrative (profitable) outsourcing contracts, English is being pushed heavily from kindergarten on.” 中国考博辅导首选学校中国考博辅导首选学校 The potential bonanza (source of wealth) on offer from outsourcing means even maths and science are being taught in English a

20、t secondary schools in Malaysia. But demand for English teaching would drop as children progress through academia, and more universities across the world choose to teach in the language. Mr. Graddol also estimated that the boom would be over by 2050.“Englishlanguage students will be down from two bi

21、llion to 500 million then,” he said,“Increasingly, as English spread across the globe, more people will become bilingual, even multilingual and such skills are highly prized in business. But Britain has not got the best reputation for learning other languages.” The report also showed that English wa

22、s not the only language spreading, and the world, far from being dominated by English, was to become more multi-lingual. Mr. Graddol said,“Chinese, Arabic and Spanish are all popular, and likely to be languages of the future.” 21. It is estimated that in a decade English will be A actively studied b

23、y over 200 million people. B freely spoken by global English learners. C popular with over 80% of world inhabitants. D really mastered by 50% of people worldwide. 22. According to the text, “linguistic globalization” will A eliminate French from the globe. B defeat other European languages. C fail a

24、ll languages except English. 中国考博辅导首选学校中国考博辅导首选学校 D make English the biggest winner. 23. David Graddol predicts that the thriving period of English will A terminate within half a century. B climax in the middle of the century. C endure for no less than five decades. D quit till the beginning of the

25、2050s. 24. The report “The Future of English” factored in all of the following EXCEPT A the educational condition and policy. B the directions and designs of Unesco.

27、werful as to create the biggest book launch ever. Wherever in the world the clock strikes midnight on June 20th, his followers will flock to get their paws on one of more than 10m copies of “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix”. 中国考博辅导首选学校中国考博辅导首选学校 Bookshops will open in the middle of the nig

28、ht and delivery firms are drafting in extra staff and bigger trucks. Related toys, games, DVDs and other merchandise will be everywhere. There will be no escaping Pottermania. Yet Mr. Potters world is a curious one, in which things are often not what they appear. While an excitable media (hereby inc

29、luding The Economist, happy to support such a fine example of globalization) is helping to hype the launch of J.K. Rowlings fifth novel, about the most adventurous thing that the publishers (Scholastic in America and Britains Bloomsbury in English elsewhere) have organized is a reading by Ms Rowling

30、 in Londons Royal Albert Hall, to be broadcast as a live web cast. Hollywood, which owns everything else to do with Harry Potter, says it is doing even less. Incredible as it may seem, the guardians of the brand say that, to protect the Potter franchise, they are trying to maintain a low profile. We

31、ll, relatively low. Ms Rowling signed a contract in 1998 with Warner Brothers, part of AOL Time Warner, giving the studio exclusive film, licensing and merchandising rights in return for what now appears to have been a steal: some $500,000. Warner licenses other firms to produce goods using Harry Po

32、tter characters or images, from which Ms Rowling gets a big enough cut that she is now wealthier than the queen if you believe Britains Sunday Times rich list. The process is self-generating: each book sets the stage for a film, which boosts book sales, which lifts sales of Potter 中国考博辅导首选学校中国考博辅导首选

33、学校 products. Globally, the first four Harry Potter books have sold some 200m copies in 55 languages; the two movies have grossed over $1.8 billion at the box office. This is a stunning success by any measure, especially as Ms Rowling has long demanded that Harry Potter should not be over commerciali

34、zed. In line with her wishes, Warner says it is being extraordinarily careful, at least by Hollywood standards, about what it licenses and to whom. It imposed tough conditions on Coca Cola, insisting that no Harry Potter images should appear on cans, and is now in the process of making its licensing

35、 programme even more restrictive. Coke may soon be considered too mass market to carry the brand at all. The deal with Warner ties much of the merchandising to the films alone. There are no officially sanctioned products relating to “Order of the Phoenix”; nor yet for “Harry Potter and the Prisoner

36、of Azkaban”, the film of the third book, which is due out in June 2004. Warner agrees that Ms Rowlings creation is a different sort of commercial property, one with long-term potential that could be damaged by a typical Hollywood marketing blitz, says Diane Nelson, the studios global brand manager f

37、or Harry Potter. It is vital, she adds, that with more to come, readers of the books are not alienated. “The evidence from our market research is that enthusiasm for the property by fans is not waning.” 26. When the author says “there will be no escaping Potter 中国考博辅导首选学校中国考博辅导首选学校 mania”, he implie

38、s that . A Harry Potters appeal for the readers is simply irresistible B it is somewhat irrational to be so crazy about the magic boy C craze about Harry Potter will not be over in the near future D Hogwarts school of magic will be the biggest attraction world over 27. Ms Rowlings reading in Londons

39、 Royal Albert Hall is mentioned to show . A publishers are really adventurous in managing the Potters business B businesses are actually more credible than media in Potters world C the media are promoting Pottermania more actively than Hollywood D businesses involved with Potter are moving along in

40、an unusual way 28. The author believes that . A Britains Sunday Times rich list is not very convincing as it sounds B Time Warners management of licenses is a bit over commercialized C other firms may produce goods using Harry Potter images at will D what Ms Rowling got in return for her offering to

41、 Warner is 中国考博辅导首选学校中国考博辅导首选学校 a real bargain 29. Paragraph 4 intends mainly to show Warners . A determination to promote Potter B consistence in conducting business C high regard for Ms Rowlings request D careful restrictions on licensing to Coco-Cola 30. It can be concluded from the last paragrap

42、h that . A products of Potter films have brought enormous profits to Warner B current Hollywoods marketing of Potter may damage its potential C readers could get tired of Ms Rowlings writings sooner or later D Warner will maintain the same strategy with Potter in future TextText 3 3 What accounts fo

43、r the astounding popularity of Dr.Phil McGraw? Why have so many TV viewers and book buyers embraced this tough warrior of a psychologist who tells them to suck it up and deal with their own problems rather than complaining and blaming everyone else? Obviously, Oprah Winfrey has a lot to do with it.

44、She made him famous with regular appearances on her show, and is co-producing the new Dr.Phil show thats likely to be the hottest new daytime offering this fall. But we decided to put Dr. Phil on the cover not just because hes a phenomenon. We think his success may reflect an interesting 中国考博辅导首选学校中

45、国考博辅导首选学校 shift in the American spirit of time. Could it be that were finally getting tired of the culture of victimology? This is a tricky subject, because there are very sad real victims among us. Men still abuse women in alarming numbers. Racism and discrimination persist in subtle and not-so-sub

46、tle forms. But these days, almost anyone can find a therapist or lawyer to assure them that their professional relationship or health problems arent their fault. As Marc Peyser tells us in his terrific profile of Dr. Phil, the TV suits were initially afraid audiences would be offended by his stern a

47、dvice to get real! In fact, viewers thirsted for the tough talk. Privately, we all know we have to take responsibility for decisions we control. It may not be revolutionary advice (and may leave out important factors like unconscious impulses). But its still an important message with clear echoing a

48、s, a year later, we contemplate the personal lessons of September 11. Back at the ranch (livestock farm)-the one in Crawford, Texas-President Bush continued to issue mixed signals on Iraq. He finally promised to consult allies and Congress before going to war, and signaled an attack isnt coming righ

49、t now (Im a patient man). But so far there has been little consensus-building, even as the administration talks of regime change and positions troops in the gulf. Bushs team also ridiculed the press for giving so much coverage to the Iraq issue. Defense Secretary Rumsfeld called it a frenzy, and Pre

50、ss Secretary Ari Fleischer dismissed it as 中国考博辅导首选学校中国考博辅导首选学校 self-inflicted silliness. But as Michael Hirsh notes in our lead story, much of the debate has been inside the Republican Party, where important voices of experience argue Bush needs to prepare domestic and world opinion and think throu

51、gh the global consequences before moving forward. With so much at stake, the media shouldnt pay attention? Now whos being silly? 31. Faced with diversified issues of injustice, Dr. Phil McGraw advised that people should _. A strongly voice their condemnation of those responsible B directly probe the

52、 root of their victimization C carefully examine their own problems D sincerely express their sympathy for the victims 32. One possible response, when the program Dr. Phil was first presented on TV, that people were afraid of was _. A suspicion B satisfaction C indifference D indignation 33. The wor

53、d tough(Line 7, Paragraph 2) most probably means_. A piercing to the truth B using vulgar language C mean and hostile D difficult to understand 中国考博辅导首选学校中国考博辅导首选学校 34. The author advises the public to _. A leave out factors such as unconscious impulses B draw lessons of their own from September 11

54、C respond decisively to September 11 tragedy D accept decisions beyond our control 35. With a series of questions at the end of the text, the author _. A feels uncertain of what his own opinion is B differentiates two conflicting views C criticizes the Bush Administration D argues for the US policy

55、on Iraq TextText 4 4 With the extension of democratic rights in the first half of the nineteenth century and the ensuing decline of the Federalist establishment, a new conception of education began to emerge. Education was no longer a confirmation of a pre-existing status, but an instrument in the a

56、cquisition of higher status. For a new generation of upwardly mobile students, the goal of education was not to prepare them to live comfortably in the world into which they had been born, but to teach them new virtues and skills that would propel them into a different and better world. Education be

57、came training; and the student was no longer the gentleman-in-waiting, but the journeyman apprentice for upward mobility. In the nineteenth century a college education began to be seen 中国考博辅导首选学校中国考博辅导首选学校 as a way to get ahead in the world. The founding of the land-grant colleges opened the doors o

58、f higher education to poor but aspiring boys from non-Anglo-Saxon, working-class and lower-middle-class backgrounds. The myth of the poor boy who worked his way through college to success drew millions of poor boys to the new campuses. And with this shift, education became more vocational: its object was the acquisition of practical skills and useful information. For the gentleman-in-waiting, virtue consisted above all in grace and style, in doing well what was appropriate to his position; education wa
