听力原文： Most of the students who come to America pay for their education with their own money or with money from their family. The group NAFSA, an association of international educators, says this is true of 81 percent of students. That is because not much financial aid is offered to foreign students in the United States. Foreign graduate students have more chances than undergraduate students do. Still, 47 percent of foreign graduate students pay for their studies with their own money or their family's money.
Most financial aid from government and private groups is restricted to American citizens. Some countries provide aid for their citizens to study in the United States, on the guarantee they return home to work.
The United States government provides aid for students from some countries. You can ask for details at an American Embassy or an office of the United States Agency for International Development. A local university may also have such information. And some American schools do provide financial aid for foreign students. A list of these can be found at a useful Website. The address is edupass, org. The site also provides information about where to write for financial help. And it warns foreign students net to pay if any money is requested for scholarship application forms. You could be cheated. This site also tells how to order publications such as "Funding for U.S. Study—A Guide for International Students and Professionals". This guide lists more than 600 places where international students can get help paying for their studies. You can also go to the site which is operated by the State Department, which is quite informative.
A lot of information about financial aid can be found on the Internet. If you do not have a computer, you might be able to use one at a local school or an educational advising center to search the information you want.

There is a long-standing provision in our immigration laws under which those who bring in a certain amount of financial capital (which will "create jobs") are allowed to immigrate: A foreigner who invests one million dollars in a commercial enterprise established in a high-unemployment area, which creates jobs for at least ten Americans, is automatically given immigrant status (i.e., a green card). We suggest extending the idea from financial to human capital.
Currently, graduate students who wish to stay on in the United States after their Ph. D. s must be sponsored by their employers, a process that imposes substantial hardship both on the students and on smaller employers.
The standard procedure is in two stages. First, the U. S. Department of Labor must, on the basis of a U. S. employer's sponsorship, certify that "no American can do this job." Then, the would-be immigrant must apply for immigrant status at the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS). If all goes right, the entire process takes about two years (considerably more for citizens of certain countries). But things may not go right: there could be problems at either stage. Thus, the employer or the "alien" must hire an immigration lawyer. The current process, then, is costly both to the would-be immigrant and to the employer (and hence, it unfairly penalizes smaller firms that cannot afford this expensive process and so cannot recruit this foreign talent).
The Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1990 introduced an alternative route for professors and researchers to secure immigrant status. Essentially, it eliminates the average processing time to about one year, it does not eliminate any of the uncertainty or the need for expensive legal counsel.
We budget that automatic green cards be given to all those who obtain a Ph. D. in the science and engineering programs at our universities. In adopting such a "guaranteed green card" proposal, we would be recognizing the important contribution that these students make to our leading position in science by giving equal weight to human capital and financial capital.
Prior to this text, the author has most probably made an analysis of ______.
A．brain gain in the United States.
B．the cause of problems of the black people.
C．the U. S educational programs for blacks.
D．the procedure of foreign students' immigration.

Universities Branch Out
A．As never before in their long history, universities have become instruments of national
competition as well as instruments of peace. They are the place of the scientific
discoveries that move economies forward, and the primary means of educating the talent
required to obtain and maintain competitive advantage. But at the same time, the opening of
national borders to the flow of goods, services, information and especially people has
made universities a powerful force for global integration, mutual understanding and
geopolitical stability.
B．In response to the same forces that have driven the world economy, universities have
become more self-consciously global: seeking students from around the world who represent
the entire range of cultures and values, sending their own students abroad to prepare them
for global careers, offering courses of study that address the challenges of an
interconnected world and collaborative (合作的)research programs to advance science for
the benefit of all humanity.
C．Of the forces shaping higher education none is more sweeping than the movement across
borders. Over the past three decades the number of students leaving home each year to study
abroad has grown at an annual rate of 3.9 percent, from 800,000 in 1975 to 2.5 million in
2004. Most travel from one developed nation to another, but the flow from developing to
developed countries is growing rapidly. The reverse flow, from developed to developing
countries, is on the rise, too.
Today foreign students earn 30 percent of the doctoral degrees awarded in the United States
and 38 percent of those in the United Kingdom. And the number crossing borders for
undergraduate study is growing as well, to 8 percent of the undergraduates at America’s
best institutions and 10 percent of all undergraduates in the U.K. In the United States, 20
percent of the newly hired professors in science and engineering are foreign-born, and in
China many newly hired faculty members at the top research universities received their
graduate education abroad.
D．Universities are also encouraging students to spend some of their undergraduate years in
another country. In Europe, more than 140,000 students participate in the Erasmus program
each year, taking courses for credit in one of 2,200 participating institutions across the
continent. And in the United States, institutions are helping place students in summer
internships (实习) abroad to prepare them for global careers. Yale and Harvard have led the
way, offering every undergraduate at least one international study or internship
opportunity—and providing the financial resources to make it possible.
E．Globalization is also reshaping the way research is done. One new trend involves
sourcing portions of a research program to another country. Yale professor and Howard
Hughes Medical Institute investigator Tian Xu directs a research center focused on the
genetics of human disease at Shanghai’s Fudan University, in collaboration with faculty
colleagues from both schools. The Shanghai center has 95 employees and graduate students
working in a 4,300-square-meter laboratory facility. Yale faculty, postdoctors and graduate
students visit regularly and attend videoconference seminars with scientists from both
campuses. The arrangement benefits both countries; Xu’s Yale lab is more productive,
thanks to the lower costs of conducting research in China, and Chinese graduate students,
postdoctors and faculty get on-the-job training from a world-class scientist and his U.S.
team.
F．As a result of its strength in science, the United States has consistently led the world
in the commercialization of major new technologies, from the mainframe. computer and the
integrated circuit of the 1960s to the Internet infrastructure (基础设施) and applications
software of the 1990s. The link between university-based science and industrial application
is often indirect but sometimes highly visible: Silicon Valley was intentionally created by
Stanford University, and Route 128 outside Boston has long housed companies spun off from
MIT and Harvard. Around the world, governments have encouraged copying of this model,
perhaps most successfully in Cambridge, England, where Microsoft and scores of other
leading software and biotechnology companies have set up shop around the university.
G． For all its success, the United States remains deeply hesitant about sustaining the
research-university model. Most politicians recognize the link between investment in
science and national economic strength, but support for research funding has been unsteady.
The budget of the National Institutes of Health doubled between 1998 and 2003, but has
risen more slowly than inflation since then. Support for the physical sciences and
engineering barely kept pace with inflation during that same period. The attempt to make up
lost ground is welcome, but the nation would be better served by steady, predictable
increases in science funding at the rate of long-term GDP growth, which is on the order of
inflation plus 3 percent per year.
H．American politicians have great difficulty recognizing that admitting more foreign
students can greatly promote the national interest by increasing international
understanding. Adjusted for inflation, public funding for international exchanges and
foreign-language study is well below the levels of 40 years ago. In the wake of September
11, changes in the visa process caused a dramatic decline in the number of foreign students
seeking admission to U.S. universities, and a corresponding surge in enrollments in
Australia, Singapore and the U.K. Objections from American university and business leaders
led to improvements in the process and a reversal of the decline, but the United States is
still seen by many as unwelcoming to international students.
I． Most Americans recognize that universities contribute to the nation’s well-being
through their scientific research, but many fear that foreign students threaten American
competitiveness by taking their knowledge and skills back home. They fail to grasp that
welcoming foreign students to the United States has two important positive effects: first,
the very best of them stay in the States and—like immigrants throughout history—
strengthen the nation; and second, foreign students who study in the United States become
ambassadors for many of its most cherished (珍视) values when they return home. Or at least
they understand them better. In America as elsewhere, few instruments of foreign policy are
as effective in promoting peace and stability as welcoming international university
students.

Stanford University
1. Stanford University is sometimes called "the Harvard of the West." The closeness of Stanford to San Francisco, a city thirty-two miles to the north, gives the university a decidedly cosmopolitan (世界性的) flavor.
2 The students are enrolled mainly from the western United States. But most of the fifty states send students to Stanford, and many foreign students study here, as well. And standards for admission remain high. Young men and women are selected to enter the university from the upper fifteen percent of their high school classes.
3. Not only because of the high caliber (素质) of its students but also because of the desirable location and climate, Stanford has attracted to its faculty some of the world's most respected scholars. The university staff has included many Nobel Prize winners in various fields. Stanford's undergraduate school of engineering and its graduate schools of business, law, and medicine are especially well-regarded.
4. What is student life like on "The Farm"？ Culturally, the campus is a magnet for both students and citizens of nearby communities. Plays, concerts, and operas are performed in the university's several auditoriums and in its outdoor theater, where graduations are also held. Several film series are presented during the school year. Guest lecturers from public and academic life frequently appear on campus. For the sports-minded, the Stanford campus offers highly developed athletic facilities. Team sports, swimming, and track and field activity are all very much part of the Stanford picture. So are bicycling and jogging.
5 .In addition to financial support from alumni (校友), Stanford receives grants from the government and from private charities. In recent years, government grants have made possible advanced studies in the fields of history, psychology, education, and atomic energy. At present Stanford is carrying out an ambitious building program, financed in part by the Ford Foundation's 25 million grant. Recently added to the campus are a new physics building, new school of business, new graduate school of law, new student union, and undergraduate library.

第 23 题 Paragraph 2__________
第10题
听力原文： While a new school term is about to begin, perhaps we should reconsider the matter of examinations. In July, two writers praised the cancellation of exams because they believe "tests don't tell the whole story."
As a teacher who has worked in four countries, I have had the experience that a student who earns good marks is generally a good student, and that a student's final mark in a subject is usually a grade average of the year's work. Of course there are exceptions, but they do not have the frequency that would give an unfair picture of a student's ability.
The simple fact is that proper class work, diligent exam studies and good marks are almost certain indicators of a student's future performance. The opposite is, almost certainly, incompetence.
There is no acceptable substitute for competition and examination of quality. How can teachers and future officials determine what a student has learned and remembered？ Should we simply take the student's word for it？ Any institution that "liberates" students from fair and formal exams is misguided, if not ignorant. And surely the "graduates" of such institutions will lack trustworthiness, not to mention being rejected by foreign universities for graduate or other studies.
When all is said and done, I sense that a fear of failure and a fear of unpleasant comparison with others is at the bottom of most ban-exams talk. Excellence and quality fear nothing. On the contrary, they seek competition and desire the satisfaction of being the best.

A．Exams don't tell the whole story.
B．Tests can not effectively measure students' abilities.
C．The cancellation of exams should be praised.
D．The two writers mentioned in the passage hold wrong conception of exams.
