单项选择题
1、Questionsare based on the following passage．
Rising college selectivity doesn’t mean that students are smarter and more serious than in the past．It’s a function of excess demand for higher education，occurring at a time of increased financial privatization of the industry．
The recession has only increased demand．The vast majority of students aren't going to college because of a thirst for knowledge．They’re there because they need a job，and they need to get the credentials（证书）-and，one hopes，the knowledge and skills behind the credentials--that will get them into the labor market．
As higher education has become a seller’s market，the institutions in a position to do so are doing what comes naturally：raising their tuitions，and their admissions requirements，but at the expense of contributing to the national goal to increase college attainment．The result is that the United States is losing ground in the international race for educational talent．
The increasing stratification（阶层化）of higher education is happening on the spending side，as well．As the selective institutions have become more expensive and less attainable，the rest have had to struggle with the responsibility to enroll more students without being paid to do s0．Gaps between rich and poor have grown even more dramatically than gaps in entering test scores．While spending is a poor measure of educational quality，we can’t seriously expect to increase educational attainment if we're not prepared to do something to address these growing inequities in funding．
That said，the educational policy problem in our country is not that the elite institutions are becoming more selective．The problem is on the public pokey side．The president and many governors have set a goal to return America to a position of international leadership in educational attainment．
It’s the right goal，we just need a financing strategy to get there．That doesn’t mean just more money，although some more money will be needed．It also means better attention to effectiveness and to efficiency，and to making sure that spending goes to the places that will make a difference in educational attainment．We know how to do it，if we want to．·
The demand for higher education has increased because __________．
A．the number of students keeps growing
B．there is a boost in the labor market
C．of the rising college selectivity
D．of the economic depression

3、Questions are based on the following passage．
There are two types of people in the world．Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other 36 of life，one becomes happy，the other becomes unhappy．This 37 from the different ways in which they consider things，persons，events and the resulting effects upon their minds．
People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things，the pleasant parts of conversation，the well prepared dishes，the goodness of the wine，the fine weather．They enjoy all the cheerful things．Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the 38 things．Therefore，they are continually discontented．By their remarks，they sour the pleasure of society，offend many people，and make themselves 39 everywhere．If this turn of mind was founded in nature，such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied。
The 40 of criticizing and being disgusted is perhaps taken up by imitation．It grows into a habit，unknown to its 41．The habit may be strong，but it may be cured when those who have it are 42 of its bad effects on their interests and tastes．I hope this little warning may be of 43 to hem，and help them change this habit．
Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination，it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck．Those people offend many others；nobody loves them，and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect．This 44 puts them in bad 45 and draws them into arguments．These should change this bad habit．If they do not，it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them．
A．arises
B．assured
C．comforts
D．contrary
E．convinced
F．disagreeable
G．dissatisfied
H．emerges
I．frequently
J．occasionally
K．possession
