根据以下材料,回答题。

Rising Tuition in the US

Every spring, US university administrators gather to discuss the next academic year"s budget.They consider faculty salaries, utility costs for dormitories, new building, needs and repairs to old ones. They run the numbers and conclude——it seems, inevitably——that, yet again, the cost of tuition must go up.

According to the US"s College Board, the price of attending a four-year private university in the US rose 81 percent between 1993 and 2004 (46) In 2005 and 2006 ,the numbers continued to rise.

According to university officials, college cost increases are simply the result of balancing university checkbooks. "Tuition increases at Cedarville University are determined by our revenue needs for each year."said the university"s president, Dr. Bill Brown. "Student tuition pays for 78 percent of the university"s operating costs. "Brown"s school is a private university that enrolls about 3,100 undergrads and is consistently recognized by annual college ranking guides like US News and World Report"s and The Princeton Review"s (47)

Tuition at private universities is set by administration officials and then sent for approval to the school"s board of trustees(懂事) (48) This board oversees (监管)all of a state"s public institutions.

John Durham,assistant secretary to the board of trustees at East Carolina University(ECU) ,explains that state law says that public institutions must make their services available whenever possible to the people of the state for free. Durham said that North Carolina residents only pay 22 percent of the cost of their education (49) State residents attending ECU pay about US $ 10,000 for tuition, room and board before financial aid.

Amid the news about continued increases in college costs, however, there is some good news.Tuition increases have been accompanied by roughly equal increases in financial aid at almost every university. To receive financial aid, US students complete a formal application with the federal government. The federal government then decides whether an applicant is eligible(有资格的)for grants or loans (50)

请在第__(46)__处填上正确答案。 查看材料

A.The application is then sent to the student"s university, where the school itself will decide whether free money will be given to the student and how much.

B.At public universities, however, tuition increases must also be approved by a state education committee, sometimes called the board "of governors.

C.The school currently charges US $ 23,410 a year for tuition.

D.Many American people are simply unable to pay the growing cost of food.

E.That"s more than double the rate of inflation.

F.The state government covers the rest.

They Say Ireland"s the Best

Ireland is the best place in the world to live in for 2005, according to a life quality ranking that appeared in Britain"s Economist magazine last week:

The ambitious attempt to compare happiness levels around the world is based on the principle that wealth is not the only measure of human satisfaction and well-being.

,The index of the countries uses data on incomes, health, unemployment, climate, political stability, job security, gender equality as well as what the magazine calls "freedom, family and community life".

" Despite the bad weather, troubled health service, traffic congestion, gender inequality, and the high cost of living, Ireland scored an impressive 8.33 points out of 10.

That put it well ahead of second-place Switzerland, which managed 8.07. Zimbabwe, troubled by political insecurity and hunger, is rated the gloomiest, picking up only 3.89 points.

"Although rising incomes and increased individual choices are highly valued," the report said, "some of the factors associated with modernization such as the breakdown in traditional institutions and family values in part take away from a positive impact. "

"Ireland wins because it successfully combines the most desirable elements of the new with the preservation of certain warm elements of the old, such as stable family and community life. "

The magazine admitted measuring the quality of life is not a straightforward thing to do, and that its findings Would have their critics.

No. 2 on the list is Switzerland. The other nations in the top 10 are Norway, Luxembourg,Sweden, Australia, Iceland, Italy, Denmark and Spain.

The UK is positioned at No. 29, a much lower position chiefly because of the social and family breakdown recorded in official statistics. The US, which has the second highest per capita GDP after Lux~mbourg, took the 13th place in the survey. China was in the lower half the league at 60th.

For 2,005 years, Ireland has been the best place for humans to live in.. 查看材料

根据以下材料,回答题Living StandardsThe differences in living standards around the world ar

根据以下材料,回答题

Living Standards

The differences in living standards around the world are vast. In 1993, the average American had an income of about $25,000. In the same year, the average Mexican earned $7,000, and the average Nigerian earned $1,500. Not surprisingly, this large variation in average income is reflected in various measures of the quality of life. Changes in living standards over time are also large. In the United States, incomes have historically grown about 2 percent per year (after adjusting for changes in the cost of living). At this rate, average income doubles every 35 years. In some countries, economic growth has been even more rapid. In Japan, for instance, average income has doubled in the past 20 years, and in South Korea it has doubled in the past 10 years.

What explains these large differences in living standards among countries and over time? The answer is surprisingly simple. Almost all variation in living standards is attributable to differences in countries" productivity—— that is, the amount of goods and services produced from each hour of a worker"s time. In nations where workers can produce a large quantity of goods and services per unit of time, most people enjoy a high standard of living; in nations where workers are less productive, most people must endure a more meager existence. Similarly, the growth rate of a nation"s productivity determines the growth rate of its average income.

The fundamental relationship between productivity and living standards is simple, but its implications are far-reaching. If productivity is the primary determinant of living standards, other explanations must be of secondary importance. For example, people might think that labor unions or minimum-wage laws contributed to the rise in living standards of American workers over the past century. Yet the real hero of American workers is their rising productivity.

The relationship between productivity and .living standards also has great implications for public policy. When thinking about how any policy will affect living standards, the key question is how it will affect our ability to produce goods and services. To improve living standards,policymakers need to raise productivity by ensuring that workers are well educated, have the tools needed to produce goods and services, and have access to the best available technology.

Which of the following countries has enjoyed the fastest economic growth in history? 查看材料

A.Mexico.

B.The United States.

C.Japan.

D.South Korea.

根据以下材料,回答题

The Truth of American Health Care

Most people would be impressed by the high quality of medicine available to most Americans.

There is a lot of specialization, a great deal of attention to the individual, a vast amount of advanced technical equipment, and intense effort not to make mistakes because of the financial risk which doctors and hospitals must face in the courts if they handle things badly.

But the Americans are in a mess. The problem is the way in which health care is organized and financed. Contrary to public belief, it is not just a free competition system. The private system has been joined a large public system, because private care was simply not looking after the less fortunate and the elderly.

But even with this huge public part of the system, which this year will eat up 84.5 billion dollars——more than 10 percent of the U.S. budget——large numbers of Americans are left out.

These include about half the 11 million unemployed and those who fail to meet the strict limits onincome fixed by a government trying to make savings where it can.

The basic problem, however, is that there is no central control over the health system. There is no limit to what doctors and hospitals charge for their services, other than what the public is able to pay. The number of doctors has shot up and prices have climbed. When faced with toothache, a sick child, or a heart attack, all the unfortunate person concerned can do is pay up.

Two-thirds of the population are covered by medical insurance. Doctors charge as much as they want knowing that the insurance company will pay the bill.

The medical profession has as a result become America"s new big businessmen. The average income of doctors has now reached $100,000 a year. With such vast incomes the tall in the doctor"s surgery is as likely to be about the doctor"s latest financial deal, as about whether the minor operation he is recommending at several thousand dollars is entirely necessary.

The rising cost of medicine in the U.S.A. is among the most worrying problem facing the country.

In 1981 the country"s health cost climbed 15.9 percent——about twice as fast as prices in general.

In the U.S. patients can expect, in medical treatment,__________. 查看材料

A.occasional mistakes by careless doctors

B.a great deal of personal attention

C.low charge by doctors and hospitals

D.stacking nurses and bad services
