Today, millions of people want learn or improve their English. Which is good, to study in Britain or in your own country?
The benefits of going to Britain seems obvious. You will listen to the language all the time, surround completely by the language wherever you would go and have to speak English if you are with the local people. In China, there is always possible to speak Chinese in class and the learning is slower. However, there are also advantage of studying at home. You don’t have to make big changes to your life. Beside, it’s much cheaper than going to Britain.
In my view, for most people without enough money, being at home is their only choice. A most important thing to do in this situation is make good use of your opportunities—speaking only English in class and using English whenever possibly outside the class.

三、 阅读理解
21. The U.S. Department of Labor statistics (统计) show that there is an oversupply of college-trained workers and that this oversupply is increasing. Already there have been more than enough teachers, engineers, physicists, aerospace experts, and other specialists. Yet colleges and graduate schools continue every year to turn out highly trained people to compete for jobs that aren't there. The result is that graduates cannot enter the professions for which they were trained and must take temporary jobs which do not require a college degree.
On the other hand, there is a great need for skilled workers of all sorts: carpenters, electricians, mechanics, plumbers, TV repairmen.
These people have more work than they can deal with, and their annual incomes are often higher than those of college graduates. The old gap that white-collar workers make a better living than blue-collar workers no longer holds true. The law of supply and demand now favors the skilled workmen.
The reason for this situation is the traditional myth that college degree is a passport to a prosperous future. A large part of American society matches success in life equally with a college degree. Parents begin indoctrinating (灌输) their children with this myth before they are out of grade school. High school teachers play their part by acting as if high school education were a preparation for college rather than for life. Under this pressure the kids fall in line. Whether they want to go to college or not doesn't matter. Everybody should go to college, so of course they must go. And every year college enrollments (入学) go up and up, and more and more graduates are overeducated for the kinds of jobs available to them.
One result of this emphasis on a college education is that many people go to college who do not belong there. Of the sixty percent of high school graduates who enter college, half of them do not graduate with their class. Many of them drop out within the first year. Some struggle on for two or three years and then give up.
1. It's implied but not stated in the passage that ________ .
A. many other countries are facing the same problem
B. white-collar workers in the US used to make more money than blue-collar workers
C. fewer students will prefer to go to college in the future
D. the law of supply and demand has a strong effect on American higher education
2. Which of the following is NOT a reason why college enrollments go up every year?
A. Many people believe that the only way to success is a college education.
B. Many parents want their children to go to college.
C. High school teachers urge their students to go to college.
D. Every young man and woman wants to go to college.
3. By saying that“many people go to college who do not belong there”, the author means that    ________ .
A. many people who are not fit for college education go to college
B. many people who do not have enough money go to college
C. many people who go to college drop out within the first year
D. many people who go to college have their hopes destroyed
4. We can infer from the passage that the author believes that _______ .
A. every young man and woman should go to college
B. college education is a bad thing
C. people with a college education should receive higher pay
D. fewer people should go to college while more should be trained for skilled jobs
参考答案：
1. B    2. D    3. A    4. D

【3题详解】
推断判断题。答案定位在最后一段Of the sixty percent of high school graduates who enter college, half of them do not graduate with their class. Many of them drop out within the first year. Some struggle on for two or three years and then give up 可知作者列举了三种情况，说明有些人不适合大学教育，故选A。
【4题详解】
推断判断题。阅读全文可知作者通过调查，告诉人们大学教育人才过多，而技术工人又非常缺乏，因而待遇反而更高；接着又分析了造成这种状况的传统观念；最后还谈到了很多上了大学却因种种原因无法完成学业，所有这些都在暗示人们，上大学的人应该减少，而参加技术工作培训的人应该增多，故选D。
22. While other stars her age are partying at clubs, Selena Gomez takes the time out of her day to help those less fortunate.
    She has been such an impressive role model for younger generations that the 20-year-old Disney star was named Woman of the Year by US magazine Glamour this month, in recognition of her successful career and her charity work.
    An actress since the age of 7, Gomez has grown up on screen. She rose from the Disney Channel popular series Wizards of Waverly Place to hit movies like Monte Carlo (2011) to this year’s comedy Hotel Transylvania. She is also no stranger to the music industry thanks to her band, Selena Gomez & The Scene.
    “Honestly, the feeling, if I can be selfish for a little bit, just makes me feel so good to be able to make kids smile… and educate them about what’s happening in the world,” she told the Associated Press.
    When she was 17, Gomez became the youngest goodwill ambassador of the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF). She has worked hard ever since. Over the past few years, she has traveled to poor countries such as Congo, Ghana and Chile to promote environmentally friendly behavior and help raise awareness about violence.
    Mature for her age, Gomez has a good handle on the problems facing the world’s youth and is an outspoken advocate (倡导者) for change.
    Last month, she stepped up to show support for a 15-year-old Pakistani girl, Malala Yousafzai. Yousafzai was shot because of her fight for the right for females to have an education in her country.
    Sad about the story, Gomez wanted to make a difference. Changing her Facebook page icon (头像) to Yousafzai’s face, she shared more stories about the girl and encouraged her fans to spread Yousafzai’s message of females’ right to an education.
    Her UNICEF work continues to highlight that 67 million school-age kids around the world are not in school, and that girls are less likely to enroll (入学) in school than boys. Gomez encourages her fans to donate to UNICEF’s school programs in Pakistan.
    Praising Gomez’s charity work, her friend Taylor Swift tells Glamour, “She’s giving back to people who need help.”
63. Why was Gomez named Woman of the Year?
  A. Because of her maturity and courage.
   B. Because of her experience of travelling abroad.
C. Because of her appearance on screen at the age of 7.  
   D. Because of her successful career and her charity work.
64. What does the underlined sentence mainly tell us?
   A. She thinks she is selfish.  B. Charity work brings her a lot of joy.
   C. Her honesty makes kids smile. D. Her successful career makes her feel good.
65. The following statements about what Gomez did after Yousafzai’s death are true EXCEPT that __________.
   A. she formed a band in honor of Yousafzai
B. she shared stories about the girl with fans
C. she used Yousafzai’s face as her Facebook icon 
   D. she encouraged fans to spread message of females’ right to an education
