解析
21.D.[精解]根据上下文,意思是各个大学对于科研的重视程度在学校和学校之间是不同的。此处vary 译为“不同”,可以构成vary from…to …意为“因…而异”。
22. C.[精解]介词搭配题。在本句中,根据and这一并列连词可以看出,其后的内容为根据学校现有资源的不同而决定了科研的不同,那么and前的并列部分,也是在讲学校自身的原因,因此可以得出people一词后面的介词短语作定语,故而想到in control(主管,控制),此处 people in control 意为“学校的主管人员”也就是管理者们。
23. B. [精解] 动词用法辨析题。根据句意,一些小规模学校或是新建学校不拥有可以开展大型研究的工作人员和设备。possess意为“拥有,具备”。
24.D.[精解] 形容词辨义题。be essential to 为固定搭配,意为“对…至关重要,必不可少”。根据句意,专家们认为,为了使学生和教师能够及时了解学科发展的最新信息,搞科研是很有必要的。
25. C.[精解] 固定搭配题。根据句意,搞科研的目的是让教师和学生能够及时了解前沿信息,信息词keep,in,with和touch构成固定搭配keep in touch with,意为与…保持联系。
26.A.[精解] 动词辨义题。根据上下文,学生上大学的目的主要是为了获取知识,acquire“获得(技能,知识等)”与knowledge 搭配符合句意。
27.C.[精解] 动词辨义题。根据上文,学校的教育目标是多元的,因此学校鼓励学生去广泛结交兴趣多样的人才。encourage 意为“鼓励,鼓舞”,其固定用法为encourage sb. to do sth.。
28.B.[精解] 名词辨义题。根据上文的提示,此处指与兴趣广泛的人结交,interest“兴趣,爱好”符合题意。
29.D.[精解] 固定搭配题。for one’s own sake也可以说成for the sake of sb.,意为“为了…的好处,出于对…的兴趣”。
30.B.[精解] 固定搭配题。make sacrifice to do 意为“为…作出牺牲”,此处指学生为了自己的兴趣爱好作出牺牲。

举一反三

BEIJING, China (CNN)-- China"s economic growth dropped to 9 percent for 2008, according to numbers released by the government Thursday--in line with expectations, but still the slowest rate the nation has seen in seven years.
Economists are concerned about what the slowdown means for investment in the future, whether new projects will be undertaken in manufacturing companies and in factories. If not, it will translate into more job losses and erase any optimism about a rebound (反弹) in 2009.
Since 2001, China has been used to double-digit growth as consumers buy Chinese goods. However, the export sector was hit hard in late 2008, with December exports down 2.8 percent.
Consumer spending has mostly held up in China, as people there do not carry as much debt as their American counterparts and can continue to spend.
Consumer confidence, however, is a problem, said Dong Tao, Asia chief economist for Credit Suisse. Infrastructure (基础设施的建设) is the only thing driving the Chinese economy, Dong said.
Tens of thousands of Chinese factories have closed, millions of people are looking for jobs and an untold number of migrants who can"t find work may be leaving cities for good because of the slowdown, which would have been unheard of six months ago.
Fourth quarter numbers showed growth at 6.8 percent. Goldman Sachs predicted 6.5 percent, down from 9 percent in the third quarter.
For all of 2008, Goldman Sachs had predicted 8.8 percent, down from 11.9 percent in 2007.
1. Since 2001, the slowest rate in annual economic growth China has seen is ___.
A. 6.8%    B. 8.8%    C. 9%    D. 11.9%
2. According to Dong Tao, the only thing driving the Chinese economy is ____.
A. export    B. infrastructure    C. consumer confidence   D. consumer spending
3. Which of the following is NOT the difficulty China is facing?
A. Tens of thousands of factories have closed.
B. Millions of people are looking for jobs.
C. An uncertain number of migrant workers may be leaving cities forever.
D. The terrible situation will erase any optimism about a rebound in 2009.
4. In which quarter of 2008 did the slowdown of China"s economic growth first appear?
A. 1st.    B. 2nd.    C. 3rd.    D. 4th.
5. The best title of this passage should be _____.
A. China"s Economic Growth Slows.
B. Economic Crisis in China.
C. Economists Analyze China"s Economy.
D. Several Factors Determine China"s Economy

Australia warns on migrant cuts
Australia may cut the number of immigrants who are allowed into the country if the global financial crisis raises unemployment levels.
Australian Immigration Minister Chris Evans said a decision on reducing numbers would be taken after mid-year financial data is published next month.
Around 190, 300 immigrants are forecast to arrive in Australia in 2008/09. Earlier this month, a British minister said the country could reduce migrant flows due to the economic crisis. Mr Evans said the country"s current migrant programme, which is aimed at skilled workers, was designed when Australia was forecasting good economic growth and a skills shortage.
"The government will take a calm look at those issues and make a decision when we have got proper information," he told Nine Network television.
"Clearly if the demand for labour comes off, you"d adjust the migration programme appropriately," he said. "We can turn the taps off if we need to. " Mr Evans said that any decision on cutting migrant flows was complex, considering their contribution to the country"s economy. "We know that they consume, they buy property, and they"re a net positive to the budget, " he said. "And a lot of the skills that are coming in at the moment are in the mining sector, which has allowed us to increase our exports. "
He said there were still industries which had a "strong demand" for labour and the government would analyse the economic situation and consult industry before deciding on what to do.
