The Cost of Higher Education

Individuals(个人) should pay for their higher education.

A university education is of huge and direct benefit to the individual. Graduates

earn more than non-graduates.Meanwhile,social mobility is ever more dependent on having a degree.However,only some people have it.So the individual,not the taxpayers,should pay for it.There are pressing calls on the resources(资源) of the government. Using taxpayers' money to help a small number of people to earn high incomes in the future is not one of them. Full government funding(资助) is not very good for universities.Adam Smith worked in a Scottish university whose teachers lived off student fees.He knew and looked down upon 18th-century Oxford,where the academics lived comfortably off the income received from the government. Guaranteed salaries,Smith argued,were the enemy of hard work;and when the academics were lazy and incompetent,the students were similarly lazy.

If students have to pay for their education,they not only work harder,but also demand more from their teachers.And their teachers have to keep them satisfied.If that means taking teaching seriously,and giving less time to their own research interests,that is surely something to celebrate.

Many people believe that higher education should be free because it is good for the economy(经济).Many graduates clearly do contribute to national wealth,but so do all the businesses that invest(投资) and create jobs.If you believe that the government should pay for higher education because graduates are economically productive,you should also believe that the government should pay part of business costs and anyone promising to create jobs should receive a gift of capital from the government to invest.Therefore,it is the individual,not the government,who should pay for their university education.

48.The underlined word“them”in Paragraph 2 refers to ________. A.taxpayers B.pressing calls C.college graduates D.government resources

49.The author thinks that with full government funding ________. A.teachers are less satisfied B.students are more demanding

C.students will become more competent D.teachers will spend less time on teaching

50.The author mentions businesses in Paragraph 5 in order to ________. A.argue against free university education B.call on them to finance students' studies C.encourage graduates to go into business D.show their contribution to higher education Ⅳ.任务型阅读(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)

Mountain climbing as a form of recreation began in Europe in about 1880.In 1857,a group of mountaineers founded the Alpine Club in London.The club was the first to promote mountain climbing as an organized sport.The most famous climb in mountaineering history took place in 1953.In that year Sir.Edmund Hillary of New Zealand and Tenzing Norgay of Nepal reached the top of Mount Everest,the world's highest mountain.

There are three basic forms of mountain climbing:(1) rock climbing,(2) snow and ice climbing,and (3)mixed climbing.Each has its own special equipment and techniques.

Rock climbing means climbing up the rock cliffs and mountains.Rock climbing is popular with beginning climbers,who generally practise on nearby cliffs that are not too difficult.Rock climbers must learn the proper use of basic equipment,including ropes and such specialized devices as pitons(岩钉),snap links(扣),and chocks (防滑楔子).

Snow and ice climbing include climbing in winter on glaciers(冰河),in ice gullies(峡谷),or on slopes(斜坡)covered with snow and ice.Beginners must learn to use crampons(钉鞋),which serve the purpose of gripping(抓紧)ice or hard snow.Climbers should also understand what happens to ice and snow under various conditions.

Mixed climbing combines elements of rock climbing and snow and ice climbing.Mountaineers must face rough rocky land as well as snow and ice and risky slopes.As a result,mixed climbing requires the most experience.Certain routes on Mount Mckinley in Alaska and Mount Rainer in Washington are examples of mixed
