24、 God. BA new report says the number of foreign students at colleges and universities in the United States increased by three percent last year. This has been the first obvious increase since . American schools last fall had 583,000 foreign students. The record is 586,000. That was set in after many
25、years of gains. But after that the numbers fell. The terrorist attacks on September 11th, led to more visa (签证) requirements. Now stronger efforts are being made to get more foreign students to study in the United States.China remained in second place in front of South Korea but behind India, which
26、sent almost 84,000 students last fall. The number of Japanese fell sharply by nine percent, although it remained in fourth place.There were three percent drops from Indonesia and Kenya, the only African country in the top twenty last year. But there were obvious increases from Saudi Arabia, Nepal an
27、d Vietnam. The number of Saudi students more than doubled, rising to nearly eight thousand.For a sixth year, the University of Southern California in Los Angeles had the most foreign students. Columbia University in New York was second. Other schools in the top five were New York University, the Uni
28、versity of Illinois and Purdue University.Unlike American students in other countries, who often choose history and language study, the leading area of study in the USA was business and management. Second was engineering.The new report also says more than 220,000 Americans studied in other countries
29、. That was during the - school year. It was a record number, and an increase of eight and a half percent from the year before. But only five percent of them stayed for a full year. 1.

In which section of a newspaper could you most probably read this passage?A. Culture.B. Science.C. Educ
33、ation.D. Business.CIf youre planning on traveling, there are a few simple rules about how to make life easier both before and after your journey.First of all, always check and double-check departure (行程) time. It is amazing how few people really do this carefully. Once I arrived at the airport a few
34、 minutes after ten. My secretary had got the ticket for me and I thought she had said that the plane left at 10:50. When I arrived at the airport, the clerk at the departure desk told me that my flight was closed. Therefore, I had to wait three hours for the next one and missed an important meeting.
35、The second rule is to remember that even in this age of credit cards, it is still important to have at least a little of the local currency (货币) with you when you arrive in a country. This can be necessary if you are flying to a place few tourists normally visit. A few years ago I was sent to Tulsa,
36、 Oklahoma. I flew there from London via (经由) Dallas, with very little time to change planes in between. I arrived there at midnight and the bank at the airport was closed. The only way to get to my hotel was by taxi and because I had no dollars, I offered to pay in pounds instead.“Listen! I only tak
37、e real money! the driver said angrily. Luckily I was able to borrow a few dollars from a clerk at the hotel, but it was very embarrassing (令人难堪的).The third and last rule is to find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination before you leave. I feel sorry for some of my workmates wh
38、o travel in heavy suits and raincoats in May, when it is still fairly cool in London or Manchester, to places like Athens, Rome or Madrid, where it is already beginning to get quite warm during the day.1. According to the passage, its obvious that _.A. the author learns some rules of traveling from
39、his own experienceB. the author doesnt plan his trips or journeys carefullyC. Englishmen like to wear heavy suits wherever they travelD. the American taxi driver never travels to England2. What should you make sure first before setting off?A. When you will leave. B. Where you will go.C. How you will
40、 travel. D. Whom you will go with.3. What does the underlined word “there in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. London. B. Manchester.C. Tulsa. D. Dallas.4. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The author tells people to choose warm places as their travel destinations.B. You should rememb
41、er to take credit cards when traveling.C. You should know more about the weather of the place youll visit.D. You should take enough change when you travel to another country.DThe knowledge society will be a highly competitive one, for organizations and individuals alike, information technology, alth
42、ough only one of many new features of the next society, is already having one important effect: it is allowing knowledge to spread nearinstantly, and making it accessible to everyone. Given the ease and speed at which information travels, every institution in the knowledge societynot only businesses
43、, but also schools, universities, hospitals and increasingly government agencies toohas to be globally competitive, even though most organizations will continue to be local in their activities and in their markets. This is because the Internet will keep customers everywhere informed of what is avail
44、able anywhere in the world, and at what price.This new knowledge economy will rely heavily on knowledge workers. At present, this term is widely used to describe people with considerable theoretical knowledge and learning, such as doctors, lawyers, teachers, accountants and chemical engineers. But t
45、he most striking growth will be in “knowledge technologists: computer technicians, software designers, analysts in clinical labs, manufacturing technologists. These people are as much manual(体力) workers as they are knowledge workers; in fact, they usually spend far more time working with their hands
46、 than with their brains, but their manual work is based on a large amount of theoretical knowledge which can be acquired only through formal education, not through an apprenticeship(学徒期). They are not, as a rule, much better paid than traditional skilled workers, but they see themselves as “professionals, just as unskilled manual workers in manufacturing were the dominant social and political force in the 21st century, knowledge technologists are likely to become the dominant socialand perhaps
