27、government-funded study published yesterday.Undergraduates with part-time jobs are a third less likely to get a first or upper second-class degree than other students, harming their career chances. Students from the poorest backgrounds were most likely to take jobs during term because they could not

28、 depend on help from their parents.The report, commissioned (委托) by the Department for Education and Skills, also found a clear relation between fear of debt and employment in non-graduate jobs. Students from poorer backgrounds are known to be more unwilling to be in debt than those from middle clas

29、s families.The study of 8,600 people who graduated in 1999 was made by Peter Elias, of Warwick University, and Kate Purcell, from Bristol Business School. They found that twice as many first-class degrees were awarded to students who did not work during term compared with those who did. Between 35 a

30、nd 38 percent who worked during term achieved a lower second, compared with about 28 percent of those who did not. Professor Elias said that the increase in school fees next year to 3,000 would have to be monitored (监控) carefully for its effect on poorer students. Higher education is going to be a h

31、arder struggle for those who do not come with all the advantages, he said.He suggested that universities could get in touch with employers to provide work experience on good salaries to choose students during holidays, so that they did not have to work during term.【小题1】Whats the main idea of the pas

36、nt reasons why students have to take term-jobs.CThe twentieth century saw greater changes than any century before. Changes for the better, changes for the worse, changes that brought a lot of benefits to human beings, changes that put man in danger. Many things caused the changes, but, in my opinion

37、, the most important was the progress in science.Scientific research in physics and biology has vastly broadened our views. It has given us a deeper knowledge of the structure of matter and of the universe. It has brought us a better understanding of the nature of life and of its continuous developm

38、ent. Technology in the application of science has made big advances that have benefited us in nearly every part of life.The continuation of such activities in the twenty-first century will result in even greater advantages to human beings; in pure sciencea wider and deeper knowledge in all fields of

39、 learning; in applied science- a more reasonable sharing of material benefits, and better protection of the environment.Sadly, however, there is another side to the picture. The creativity of science has been employed in doing damage to mankind. The application of science and technology to the devel

40、opment and production of weapons of mass destruction has created a real danger to the continued existence of the human race on this planet. We have seen this happen in the case of nuclear weapons. Although their actual use has so far occurred only in the Second World War, the number of nuclear weapo

41、ns that were produced and made ready for use was so large that if the weapons had actually been used, the result could have been the ruin of the human race, as well as of many kinds of animals.William Shakespeare said, “The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together.” The above brie

42、f review the application of only one part of human activitiesscience seems to prove what Shakespeare said. But does it have to be so? Must the ill always go together with the good? Are we biologically programmed for war?A. a great many nuclear weapons were actually used for warB. a large number of n

43、uclear weapons should have been used for warC. the author is doubtful about the ruin of human beings by nuclear warD. the author is anxious about the huge number of nuclear weapons on the earth【小题3】 The underlined word “mingled” most probably means_A. simple B. mixed C. sad D. happy【小题4】What do you

45、hen your teacher asks a question, there is only one correct answer. But there is one question that has millions of correct answers. That question is “Whats your name?” Everyone gives a different answer, but everyone is correct. Have you ever wondered about peoples names? Where do they come from? Wha

46、t do they mean?Peoples first names, or given names, are chosen by their parents. Sometimes the name of a grandparent or other member of the family is used. Some parents choose the name of a well-known person. A boy could be named George Washington Smith; a girl could be named Helen Keller Jones.Some

47、 people give their children names that mean good things. Clara means “bright”; Beatrice means “one who gives happiness”; Donald means “world ruler”; Leonard means “as brave as a lion”.The earliest last names, or surnames, were taken from place names. A family with the name Brook or Brooks probably l

48、ived near a brook (小溪); someone who was called Longstreet probably lived on a long, paved road. The Greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest. Other early surnames came from peoples occupations. The most common occupational name is Smith, which means a person who makes things with iron or oth

49、er metals. In the past, smiths were very important workers in every town and village. Some other occupational names are: Cartera person who owned or drove a cart; Pottera person who made pots and pans. The ancestors of the Baker family probably baked bread for their neighbors in their native village

50、. The Carpenters great-great-great-grandfather probably built houses and furniture. Sometimes people were known for the color of their hair or skin, or their size, or their special abilities. When there were two men who were named John in the same village, the John with gray hair probably became Joh

51、n Gray. Or the John who was very tall could call himself John Tallman. John Fish was probably an excellent swimmer and John Lightfoot was probably a fast runner or a good dancer. Some family names were made by adding something to the fathers name. English-speaking people added s or son. The Johnsons

52、 are descendants of John; the Roberts familys ancestor was Robert. Irish and Scottish people added Mac or Mc or O. Perhaps all of the MacDonnells and the ODonnells are descendants of the same Donnell. 【小题1】 Which of the following aspects do the surnames in the passage NOT cover?A. Places where peopl

53、e lived.B. Peoples characters.C. Talents that people possessed. D. Peoples occupations.【小题2】According to the passage, the ancestors of the Potter family most probably _.A. owned or drove a cart B. made things with metalsC. made kitchen tools or containers.
