ACADEMICS AREN’T THE PROBLEM Studies about how students use their time might shed light on whether they face increased academic and financial pressures compared with earlier eras. Based on data about how students are spending time, academic or financial pressures don’t seem to be greater now than a generation ago. The data show that full-time students in all types of colleges study much less now than they did a generation ago - a full 10 hours a week less. Students are also receiving significantly higher grades. So it appears that academic pressures are, in fact, considerably lower than they used to be. The time-use data don’t suggest that students feel greater financial pressures, either. When the time savings and lower opportunity costs are factored in, college appears less expensive for most students than it was in the 1960s. And though there are now full-time students working to pay while in college, they study less even when paid work choices are held constantly. In other words, full-time students do not appear to be studying less in order to work more. They appear to be studying less and spending the extra time on leisure activities or fun. It seems hard to imagine that students feeling increased financial pressures would respond by taking more leisure. Based on how students are spending their time then, it doesn’t look as though academic or financial pressures are greater now than a generation ago. The time-use data don’t speak directly to social pressures, and it may well be that these have become more intense lately. In one recent set of data, students reported spending more than 23 hours per week either socializing with friends or playing on the computer for fun. Social activities, in person or on computer, would seem to have become the major focus of campus life. It is hard to tell what kinds of pressures would be associated with this change. Question 35: The study’s conclusion that students’ workload now is not greater than before is based on_________. A. what students achieve with greater load B. how students spend their time C. how students work through college D. what college demands from students Question 36: Research studies have shown that pressures put on students nowadays are __________. A. not greater than the past B. getting ever greater C. much greater than the past D. more diversified Question 37: Students get higher grades as__________. A. students study much harder B. academic workload appears more attractive C. academic workload appears less demanding D. college’s facilities are much better Question 38: According to the author, the fact that students have more time for leisure is a proof that_____. A. financial pressure on students is not a problem B. academic work disinterests them C. they are active with extra-curricular activities D. they cannot find extra jobs Question 39: All factors considered, college now seems___________ . A. more costly B. ever more expensive C. much more expensive D. less expensive Question 40: According to the author, the fact that more full-time students are working for pay________. A. does not change students’ campus life B. indicates that students are academically pressured C. is not an indication of pressures D. shows that students are financially pressured Question 41: Students nowadays seem to be studying less and__________. A. spending more time on leisure B. spending more time doing odd jobs C. giving more time to sports D. taking more extracurricular activities Question 42: The word “focus” in the last paragraph can be replaced with__________. A. central activity B. primary theme C. headline D. biggest importance Question 43: The author finds it hard to point out___________. A. how students’ campus life becomes subject to academic pressure B. what is associated with the change in students’ campus life C. the cause to students’ financial pressure D. how the background of students’ campus life is built Question 44: The word “Academics” in the title mostly means___________ A. students’ workload in college B. college students and tutors C. professors and research students D. graduate students’ workload Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 45 to 54. Panel painting, common in thirteenth- and fourteenth-century Europe, involved a painstaking, laborious process. Wooden planks were joined, covered with gesso to prepare the surface for painting, and then polished smooth with special tools. On this perfect surface, the artist would sketch a composition with chalk, refine it with inks, and then begin the deliberate process of applying thin layers of egg tempera paint (egg yolk in which pigments are suspended) with small brushes. The successive layering of these meticulously applied paints produced the final translucent colors. Backgrounds or gold were made by carefully applying sheets of gold leaf, and then embellishing of decorating the gold leaf by punching it with a metal rod on which a pattern had been embossed . Every step in the process was slow and deliberate. The quick-drying tempera demanded that the artist know exactly where each stroke be placed before the brush met the panel, and it required the use of fine brushes. It was, therefore, an ideal technique for emphasizing the hard linear edges and pure, fine areas of color that were so much a part of the overall aesthetic of the time. The notion that an artist could or would dash off an idea in a fit of spontaneous inspiration was completely alien to these deliberately produced works. Furthermore, making these paintings was so time-consuming that it demanded assistance. All such work was done by collective enterprise in the workshops. The painter or master who is credited with having created the painting may have designed the work and overseen its production, but it is highly unlikely that the artist’s hand applied every stroke of the brush. More likely, numerous assistants, who had been trained to imitate the artist’s style, applied the paint. The carpenter’s shop probably provided the frame and perhaps supplied the panel, and yet another shop supplied the gold. Thus, not only many hands, but also many shops were involved in the final product. In spite of problems with their condition, restoration, and preservation, many panel paintings have survived, and today many of them are housed in museum collections.

Part 2: There are a number of measures that should be taken to protect endangered animals. First, we should organize different activities to raise people`s awareness of the need to protect these animals. Second, governments should raise sufficient funds for projects to save endangered animals. Moreover, humans had better keep water, air, and land clean to preserve natural habitats for wild and endangered animals. In addition, Governments should have a good policy to improve the life of people who live in or near endangered animals’ habitats. Next, organizations in the world must enact laws requiring some countries to protect endangered animals. Then, Governments should ban people to exploit and sell fashionable wildlife products. Finally, Governments had better establish more wildlife habitat reserves to preserve endangered animals. In summary, we should take as many measures as possible to protect rare and endangered animals.
