　　And there should be more money 38 to support people in establishing a 39 of identity and finding constructive 40 for the “third age”, the 20 or more years they will spend in healthy retired life.

第二部分: 阅读理解(共两节，满分45分)
第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
A
When I was an official of a school in Palo Alto, California, Polly Tyner, the president of our board, wrote a letter that was printed in the Palo Alto Times. Polly’s son, Jim, had great difficulty in school. He was classified as the educationally handicapped and required a great deal of patience on the part of his parents and teachers. But Jim was a happy kid with a great smile that lit up the room. His parents knew his difficulties, but they always tried to help him see his strengths so that he could walk with pride. Shortly after Jim finished high school, he was killed in a motorcycle accident. After his death, his mother submitted this letter to the newspaper.
     “Today we buried our 20-year-old son. He was killed in a motorcycle accident on Friday night. How I wish I had known that the last time I had talked to him would be the last time. If I had only known that, I would have said to him, ‘Jim, I love you and I’m always so proud of you.’ I would have taken the time to count the many blessings he had brought to the lives of the people who loved him. I would have taken the time to appreciate his beautiful smile, his laughter, and his genuine love to other people.”
     “When I put all the good things on the scale and try to balance them with all the irritating (恼人的) things such as the radio that was always too loud, the haircut that wasn’t to our liking, the dirty socks under the bed, etc., I find that the irritations(恼怒) really don’t amount too much.”
     “I won’t get another chance to tell my son all that I would have wanted him to hear, but, other parents, do have a chance. Tell your young people what you would want them to hear as if it may be your last conversation. The last time I talked to Jim was the morning of the day when he died. He called me to say, ‘Hi, Mom! I just called to say I love you. You have to go to work now. Bye.’ That day, he gave me something to treasure forever. ”
If there is any purpose at all for Jim’s death, maybe it is to make others appreciate life more and to tell people, especially family members, that they should take the time to let each other know just how much they care. You may never have another chance. Do it today!
41. Who was Jim?
A. A school boy.    B. The writer.
C. The president of a school board.    D. An official of a school.
42. What’s the meaning of the underlined phrase “the educationally handicapped”?
A. the learning difficulty                          B. the physical problems
C. the psychological problems                  D. the communication difficulty
43. According to the writer, which of the following about Jim is TRUE？
A. He was always sad about his school marks.
B. His parents always scolded him for his bad school marks.
C. His study needed more attention from his parents and teachers.
D. He was killed in a car accident.
44. The purpose of Polly’s letter is to ______.
A. memorize her son B. teach parents to appreciate their children
C. teach children how to be good boys
D. give some advice on how to deal with children’s problems
B
When next year’s crop of high-school graduates arrive at Oxford University in the fall of 2009, they’ll be joined by a new face; Andrew Hamilton, the 55-year-old provost(教务长) of Yale, who’ll become Oxford’s vice-chancellor—a position equivalent to university president in America.
　　Hamilton isn’t the only educator crossing the Atlantic. Schools in France, Egypt, Singapore, etc, have also recently made top-level hires from abroad. Higher education has become a big and competitive business nowadays, and like so many businesses, it’s gone global. Yet the talent flow isn’t universal. High-level personnel tend to head in only one direction: outward from America.
　　The chief reason is that American schools don’t tend to seriously consider looking abroad. For example, when the board of the University of Colorado searched for a new president, it wanted a leader familiar with the state government, a major source of the university’s budget. “We didn’t do any global consideration,” says Patricia Hayes, the board’s chair. The board ultimately picked Bruce Benson, a 69-year-old Colorado businessman and political activist (活动家) who is likely to do well in the main task of modern university presidents: fund-raising. Fund-raising is a distinctively American thing, since U.S. schools rely heavily on donations. The fund-raising ability is largely a product of experience and necessity.
　　Many European universities, meanwhile, are still mostly dependent on government funding. But government support has failed to keep pace with rising student number. The decline in government support has made funding-raising an increasing necessary ability among administrators and has hiring committees hungry for Americans.
　　In the past few years, prominent schools around the world have joined the trend. In 2003, when Cambridge University appointed Alison Richard, another former Yale provost, as its vice-chancellor, the university publicly stressed that in her previous job she had overseen “a major strengthening of Yale’s financial position.”
　　Of course, fund-raising isn’t the only skill outsiders offer. The globalization of education means more universities will be seeking heads with international experience of some kind of promote international programs and attract a global student body. Foreigners can offer a fresh perspective on established practices.
45. What is the current trend in higher education discussed in the passage?
A. Institutions worldwide are hiring administrators from the U.S.
B. A lot of political activists are being recruited as administrators.
C. American universities are enrolling more international students.
D. University presidents are paying more attention to funding-raising.
46. What is the chief consideration of American universities when hiring top-level administrators?
A. The political correctness. B. Their ability to raise funds.
C. Their fame in academic circles. D. Their administrative experience.
47. Cambridge University appointed Alison Richard as its vice-chancellor chiefly because ______.
A. she was known to be good at raising money B. she could help strengthen its ties with Yale
C. she knew how to attract students overseas D. she had boosted Yale’s academic status
48. In what way do top-level administrators from abroad contribute to university development?
A. They can enhance the university’s image.
B. They will bring with them more international faculty.
C. They will view a lot of things from a new perspective.
D. They can set up new academic disciplines.
