Ⅳ.阅读理解

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。

A

Greg Evans started to study film at Ryerson University，but had a change of heart and switched to social work at George Brown College in the second year.Yet the college recognized only one of Evans' general-interest credits(学分) from Ryerson，and also made him take English all over again although he had passed it at university.

“So I spent time and money taking a course I had already taken before，”complained Evans.“The system really needs to change.”Evans was part of a chorus of Ontario students on Monday cheering a new $73.7 million five-year plan to help students switch from college to university，and from university to college.

After years of urging from students，the Ontario government set up a new Credit Transfer Innovation Fund to help students move back and forth between the more hands-on courses of community college to the often broader academic focus of a university degree.“We hear horror stories about students who can't get recognition from one institution for a very similar course at another，and in one case I believe the same professor was teaching them both，” noted Milloy after announcing the new fund.

Individual colleges and universities have decided on nearly 500 joint deals to honour each other's credits in certain courses.Each school is required to set targets for more credit-transfer agreements，and link these increases to provincial funding.

More than 4,000 college graduates transfer(转学) to university in Ontario every year－twice as many as eight years ago，noted Justin Fox，president of the College Student Alliance.Yet Ontario universities and colleges have been cautious about transferring credits，in part to avoid copying each other's courses，noted Bonnie Patterson，president of the Council of Ontario Universities，who welcomed the increased flexibility.

【语篇解读】　当学生从大学转到学院后，以前的学分几乎不被学院承认，由此引发了教育制度的改革。在一项新的五年计划中，学生可以灵活地在大学和学院之间转学。

16．What happened when Greg Evans switched to social work at George Brown College?

A．He was considered to be unqualified for social work.

B．His previous credits were not all recognized.

C．He wasn't able to get enough credits.

A．get enough money to go to university.

18．According to Paragraph 3，Milloy believes ________.

A．it is time that the system was changed

B．the same professor can't teach in different schools

解析：推理判断题。根据第三段后半部分中Milloy所说的话可推知他认为以前的制度需要改变。

答案：A

19．Ontario universities and colleges have been cautious about transferring credits partly to

________.

A．avoid accepting unqualified students

B．keep their similar courses

C．prevent courses from becoming similar

D．attract famous professors

20．What attitude does Bonnie Patterson have towards the transferring system?

A．He is strongly against it.

B．He is very doubtful about it.

C．He thinks it is too flexible.

D．He supports it for its flexibility.

答案：D

B

When I was 13，my bedroom walls were covered with posters of the Monkees and the Beatles.I wrote fan letters and daydreamed about meeting the objects of my affections.I begged my parents to attend every rock concert and watch every TV show featuring my favorite celebrities(名人)；my friends and I discussed for hours all the things we would say and do when we met our favorite movie stars and pop singers.I drove my mother crazy！But after a few years，my obsession(迷恋) with stars faded as I matured and gained the confidence to socialize with “real” boys.

In the 35 years since I was a teenager，celebrity worship(崇拜) has increased among teens due to the explosion of television celebrity gossip shows，and instant access to celebrity news on the Internet.It's no wonder that many teens are obsessed with stars when news programs often are filled with entertainment stories and the lives of celebrities.

Celebrity worship syndrome(综合征) is now considered a personality disorder.While it is normal for teenagers to follow the lives of their favorite stars，parents should try to monitor everything their child finds interesting.Parents should take action if they suspect a teen is too obsessed with celebrities and showing little interest in school or withdrawing from the family.When teens talk a lot about celebrities and view them as just means of entertainment，this is considered normal celebrity worship.However，when a teenager is obsessed with a star and often expresses a desire to have a close personal relationship with a celebrity or feels they have a special connection to a star，this may be the time for concern.Recent studies have shown that teens who develop an unhealthy obsession with celebrities often suffer from low self-confidence and depression.Teens who are overly
