“There are a large number of students who are not economics 43 who would like to learn something about it. One of the things I have done this year is to 44 my teaching to contemporary events in a way that one hasn’t 45 done.” He added.
University applications 46 7% last year. But there were rises 47 average in several subjects. Nursing saw a 15% jump, with people’s renewed 48 in careers in the public sector, which are seen as more secure in economic crisis.

第三部分 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2份，满分40分）
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.
A
My newly-rented small apartment was far away from the centre of London and it was becoming essential for me to find a job, so finally I spent a whole morning getting to town and putting my name down to be considered by London Transport for a job on the underground. They were looking for guards, not drivers. This suited me. I couldn’t drive a car but thought that I could probably guard a train, and perhaps continue to write my poems between stations. The writers Keats and Chekhov had been doctors. T.S. Eliot had worked in a bank and Wallace Stevens for an insurance company. I’d be a subway guard. I could see myself being cheerful, useful, a good man in a crisis. Obviously I’d be overqualified but I was willing to forget about that in return for a steady income and travel privileges — those being particularly welcome to someone living a long way from the city centre.
The next day I sat down, with almost a hundred other candidates, for the intelligence test. I must have done all right because after about half an hour’s wait I was sent into another room for a psychological test. This time there were only about fifty candidates. The interviewer sat at a desk. Candidates were signaled forward to occupy the seat opposite him when the previous occupant had been dismissed, after a greater or shorter time. Obviously the long interviews were the more successful ones. Some of the interviews were as short as five minutes. Mine was the only one that lasted a minute and a half.
I can remember the questions now: “Why did you leave your last job?” “Why did you leave your job before that?” “And the one before that?” I can’t recall my answers, except that they were short at first and grew progressively shorter. His closing statement, I thought, revealed a lack of sensitivity which helped to explain why as a psychologist, he had risen no higher than the underground railway. “You’ve failed the psychological test and we are unable to offer you a position.”
Failing to get that job was my low point. Or so I thought, believing that the work was easy. Actually, such jobs — being a postman is another one I still desire — demand exactly the sort of elementary yet responsible awareness that the habitual dreamer is least qualified to give. But I was still far short of full self-understanding. I was also short of cash.
56．The writer applied for the job chiefly because _________.
A．he could no longer afford to live without one B．he wanted to work in the centre of London
C．he was not interested in any other available job D．he had received some suitable training
57．The writer thought he was overqualified for the job because _________.
A．he often traveled underground B．he had written many poems
C．he had worked in a company D．he could deal with difficult situations
58.What does the writer realize now that he did not realize then?
A．How unpleasant ordinary jobs can be. B．How unsuitable he was for the job.
C．How difficult it is to be a poet. D．How badly he did in the interview.
59．．The length of his interview meant that _________.
A．he did not like the interviewer at all B．he had not done well in the intelligence test
C． he was not going to be offered the job D．he had little work experience to talk about
60．What’s the writer’s opinion of the psychologist?
A. He was rather unsympathetic. B. He was unhappy with his job.
C. He was quite inefficient. D. He was very aggressive（有进取心的）.
B
Looking back on my childhood. I am convinced that naturalists are born and not made. Although we were brought up in the same way, my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed flowers and insects. Unlike them, I had no ear for music and languages. I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic.
Before Word War I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the dim memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys. Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have a crystal clear memory of dogs, the farm animals, the local birds and above all, the insects.
I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love of the natural world, and my enthusiasm has led me into varied investigations. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil reading about other people’s observations and discoveries. Then something happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind. Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle. Because it all seems to fit together .This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books. Which some may light honor, with the title of scientific research.
But curiosity a keen eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist? One of the outstanding and essential qualities required is self-discipline, a quality I lack. A scientist can be made a naturalist. If you can combine the two, you get the best of both worlds.
61. According to the author, a born naturalist should first of all be _____
A. full of ambition B. self-disciplined C. full of enthusiasm D. knowledgeable
62.The first paragraph tells us that the author _____
A. lost his hearing when he was a child B. didn’t like his brothers and sisters
C. was interested in flowers and insects in his childhood D. was born to a naturalist’s family
63. The author says that he is a naturalist rather than a scientist probably because he thinks he ____.
A.just rends about other peoples observations and discoveries.
B.Lacks some of the qualities required of scientist.
C.Has a great deal of trouble doing mental arithmetic.
D.Come up with solutions in most natural ways.
64.The author can’t remember him relatives clearly because__
A.He didn’t live very long with them B.He was too young when he lived with them.
C.The family was extremely large. D.He was fully occupied with observing nature.
65.Which of the following statements is true?
A. The author believes that a born naturalist can not be scientist.
B. The author read a lot of books about the natural world and oil industry
C. The author’s brothers and sisters were good at music and languages.
D. The author spent a lot of time working on riddles.

C
“Just take a deep breath.” Don’t think about it.” “You’re more likely to die in a car wreck on the way to the airport than you are in a plane crash.” These are just some words given to people with a fear of flying. But as Tom Cruise, playing Lt. Daniel Kaffee in the movie A Few Good Men, said, “I get sick when I fly because
