C (11山东) Diana Jacobs thought her family had a workable plan to pay for college for her 21-year-old twin sons:a combination of savings,income,scholarships,and a modest amount of borrowing.Then her husband lost his job,and the plan fell apart. “I have two kids in college,and I want to say ‘come home’,but at the same time I want to provide them with a good education,” says Jacobs. The Jacobs family did work out a solution:They asked and received more aid from the schools,and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the federal loan (贷款) program.They will each graduate with $20,000 of debt,but at least they will be able to finish school. With unemployment rising,financial aid administrators expect to hear from more families like the Jacobses.More students are applying for aid,and more families expect to need student loans.College administrators are concerned that they will not have enough aid money to go around. At the same time,tuition (学费) continues to rise.A report from the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education found that college tuition and fees increased 439% from 1982 to 2007,while average family income rose just 147%.Student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade. “If we go on this way for another 25 years,we won't have an affordable system of higher education,” says Patrick M.Callan,president of the center.“The middle class families have been financing it through debt.They will send kids to college whatever it takes,even if that means a huge amount of debt.” Financial aid administrators have been having a hard time as many companies decide that student loans are not profitable enough and have stopped making them.The good news,however,is that federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing,and the government says that money will flow uninterrupted. 66.According to Paragraph 1,why did the plan of the Jacobs family fail? A.The twins wasted too much money. B.The father was out of work. C.Their savings ran out. D.The family fell apart. 67.How did the Jacobses manage to solve their problem? A.They asked their kids to come home. B.They borrowed $20,000 from the schools. C.They encouraged their twin sons to do part-time jobs. D.They got help from the schools and the federal government. 68.Financial aid administrators believe that ______. A.more families will face the same problem as the Jacobses B.the government will receive more letters of complaint C.college tuition fees will double soon D.America's unemployment will fall 69.What can we learn about the middle class families from the text? A.They blamed the government for the tuition increase. B.Their income remained steady in the last decade. C.They will try their best to send kids to college. D.Their debts will be paid off within 25 years. 70.According to the last paragraph,the government will ______.

For thousands of years,Polynesian people lived on the remote island of Nauru,far from western civilization.The first European to arrive was John Fearn in 1798.He was the British captain of the Hunter,a whaling ship.He called the island Pleasant Island. However,because it was very remote,Nauru had little communication with Europeans at first.Then whaling ships and other traders began to visit,bringing guns and alcohol.These elements destroyed the social balance of the twelve family groups on the island.A ten-year civil war started,which reduced the population from 1,400 to 900. Nauru's real troubles began in 1899 when a British mining company discovered phosphate(磷酸盐)on the island.In fact,it found that the island of Nauru was nearly all phosphate,which is a very important fertilizer for farming.The company began mining the phosphate. A phosphate mine is not a hole in the ground;it is a strip mine.When a company strip-mines,it removes the top layer of soil.Then it takes away the material it wants.Strip-mining totally destroys the land.Gradually,the lovely island of Nauru started to look like the moon. In 1968,Nauru became one of the richest countries in the world.Every year the government received millions and millions of dollars for its phosphate. Unfortunately,the leaders invested the money unwisely and lost millions of dollars.In addition,they used millions more dollars for personal expenses.Soon people realized that they had a terrible problem—their phosphate was running out.Ninety percent of their island was destroyed and they had nothing.By 2000,Nauru was almost financially ruined.Experts say that it would take approximately $433,600,000 and more than 20 years to repair the island.This will probably never happen. 56.What might be the author's purpose in writing the text?

D.To tell a heartbreaking story of a war. 57.What was Nauru like before the Europeans came? A.Rich and powerful. B.Modern and open. C.Peaceful and attractive.

The Nutty Narrows Bridge was built in 1963 by a local builder,Amos Peters,to give squirrels a way to cross the busy road without getting flattened by passing cars. The original bridge was built over Olympia Way on the west edge of the library grounds.Before the bridge was built,squirrels had to avoid traffic to and from the Park Plaza office building where office staff put out a nutty feast for the squirrels.Many times,Peters and others who worked in and near Park Plaza witnessed squirrels being run over. One day Peters found a dead squirrel with a nut still in its mouth,and that day's coffee break discussion turned into squirrel safety.The group of businessmen cooked up the squirrel bridge idea and formed a committee to ask the blessing of the City Council(市政会).The Council approved,and Councilwoman Bess LaRiviere jokingly named the bridge“Nutty Narrows”. After architects designed the bridge,Amos Peters and Bill Hutch started construction.They built the 60-foot bridge from aluminum and lengths of fire hose(消防水带).It cost $1,000. It didn't take long before reports of squirrels using the bridge started.Squirrels were even seen guiding their young and teaching_them_the_ropes.The story was picked up by the media,and Nutty Narrows became known in newspapers all over the world. In 1983,after 20 years of use,Peters took down the worn-out bridge.Repairs were made and crosspieces were replaced.The faded sign was repainted and in July 1983,hundreds of animal lovers attended the completion ceremony of the new bridge.

Some years ago, the group to which Sparrow belonged was taken over by another company. Although Sparrow showed no sign of declining, the chain was generally in an unhealthy state. With more and more fast-food concepts reaching the market, the Sparrow menu had to struggle for attention. And to make matters worse, its new owner had no plans to give it the funds it required. Sparrow failed to grow for another two years. Until a new CEO, Carl Pearson, decided to build up its market share. He did a survey, which showed that consumers who already used Sparrow restaurants were extremely positive about the chain, while customers of other fast-food chains were unwilling to turn away from them. Sparrow had to develop a new promotional campaign. Pearson faced a battle over the future of the Sparrow brand. The chain’s owner now favored rebranding Sparrow as Marcy’s restaurants. Pearson resisted, arguing for an advertising campaign designe d to convince customers that visits to Sparrow restaurants were fun. Such an attempt to establish a positive relationship between a company and the general public was unusual for that time. Pearson strongly believed that numbers were the key to success, ra ther than customers’ speeding power. Finally, the owner accepted his idea. The campaign itself changed the traditional advertising style of the fast-food industry. The TV ads of Sparrow focused on entertainment and featured original songs performed by a variety of stars. Instead of showing the superiority of a specific product, the intension was to put Sparrow in the hearts of potential customers. Pearson also made other decisions which he believed would contribute to the new Sparrow image. For example, he offered to lower the rent of any restaurants which achieved a certain increase in their turnover. (营业额) These efforts paid off, and Sparrow soon became one of the most successful fast-food chains in the regions where it operated. 71. Which was one of the problems Sparrow faced before Pearson became CEO? A. The number of its customers was declining B. Its customers found the food unhealthy C. It was in need of financial support D.

Customers of other fast-food chains D. other fast-food chains 73. For what purpose did Pearson start the advertising campaign? A. To build a good relationship with the public B.
