　　泉州市2014高考英语文章突破一轮训练（6）及答案

　　(***)

　　Diana Jacobs thought her family had a workable plan to pay for college for her 21­year­old twin sons: a combination of savings, income, scholarships, and a modest amount of borrowing. Then her husband lost his job, and the plan fell apart.

　　“I have two kids in college, and I want to say ‘come home，’ but at the same time I want to provide them with a good education，” says Jacobs.

　　The Jacobs family did work out a solution: They asked and received more aid from the schools, and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the federal loan (贷款) program. They will each graduate with $20,000 of debt, but at least they will be able to finish school.

　　With unemployment rising, financial aid administrators expect to hear from more families like the Jacobses.More students are applying for aid, and more families expect to need student loans. College administrators are concerned that they will not have enough aid money to go around.

　　At the same time, tuition(学费)continues to rise. A report from the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education found that college tuition and fees increased 439% from 1982 to 2007, while average family income rose just 147%. Student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade.

　　“If we go on this way for another 25 years, we won’t have an affordable system of higher education，” says Patrick M. Callan, president of the center. “The middle class families have been financing it through debt. They will send kids to college whatever it takes, even if that means a huge amount of debt.”

　　Financial aid administrators have been having a hard time as many companies decide that student loans are not profitable enough and have stopped making them. The good news, however, is that federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing, and the government says that money will flow uninterrupted.

　　()11.According to Paragraph 1，why did the plan of the Jacobs family fail?

　　A．The twins wasted too much money.

　　B．The father was out of work.

　　C．Their savings ran out.

　　D．The family fell apart.

　　()12.How did the Jacobses manage to solve their problem?

　　A. They asked their kids to come home.

　　B. They borrowed $20,000 from the schools.

　　()13.Financial aid administrators believe that ________.

　　A. more families will face the same problem as the Jacobses

　　B. the government will receive more letters of complaint

　　C．college tuition fees will double soon

　　A. They blamed the government for the tuition increase.

　　B. Their income remained steady in the last decade.

　　C．They will try their best to send kids to college.

　　D. Their debts will be paid off within 25 years.

　　()15.According to the last paragraph, the government will ________.

　　A. provide most students with scholarships

　　B. dismiss some financial aid administrators

　　C．stop the companies from making student loans

　　D. go on providing financial support for college students

　　(二)

　　随着Diana Jacobs丈夫的失业，她供养两个双胞胎儿子上大学的计划泡汤了。他们不得不向学校申请更多的援助，把助学贷款提高到最大额度。宁愿背负巨额的债务，他们也要提供给孩子们良好的教育。很多家庭也处于同样的困境，政府正在努力保证贷款资金以帮助那些困难的家庭。

　　11. B　细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句话可知答案为B。

　　12. D　细节理解题。根据第三段中They asked and received more aid form the schools, and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the federal loan (贷款) program.可以判断正确答案为D。

　　13. A　细节理解题。根据第四段第一句话以及后面更详细的说明可知，将有更多的家庭面临像Jacobs一家同样的问题，因此选A。

　　14. C　细节理解题。由倒数第二段的The middle class families…They will send kids to college whatever it takes, even if that means a huge amount of debt.可知，中产阶级不惜任何代价送他们的孩子上大学。由此可知正确答案为C。

　　15. D　推理判断题。根据最后一段…federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing, and the government says that money will flow uninterrupted.可以判断政府会继续给大学生们提供资金支持。

　　Elizabeth Blackwell was born on February 3, 1821 in Bristol, England. Her father was a rich sugar businessman at the time. Because her parents thought boys and girls should be equal, Elizabeth received the same education as her brothers.

　　In 1832, her father’s business was destroyed by fire, so her family moved to New York City. But her father’s business there failed. Then in 1837, the family moved to Cincinnati, Ohio. Not long after, her father died. After her father’s death, Elizabeth, at the age of 16, had to go to work.

　　When she was 24, she visited her dying friend Mary. Her friend said, “You’re young and strong, you should become a doctor.” That was nearly impossible for a woman in the middle of the nineteenth century. But she knew this was what she was going to do.

　　After several rejections from medical schools, she finally was accepted by Geneva Medical College. By studying hard, she graduated successfully in 1849.

　　After graduating from medical school, she went to Paris to learn more about medicine. She wanted to be a surgeon, but a serious eye problem forced her to give up the idea.

　　When she returned to America in 1851, she found it difficult to start her own practice because she was a woman. In 1857, Elizabeth and her sister, also a doctor, along with another woman doctor, managed to open a new hospital, the first for women and children. Besides, she also set up the first medical school for women in 1868, where she taught the women students about disease prevention. It was the first time that the idea of preventing disease was taught in a medical school.

　　Elizabeth Blackwell started the British National Health Society in 1871, which helped people learn how to stay healthy. In 1889, Elizabeth Blackwell became the first woman doctor in the United States. Most importantly she fought for the admission of women to medical colleges.

　　Elizabeth Blackwell died on May 3, 1910, when she was 89.She opened a world of chances for women. She always fought for what was right in all her life. In 1949 the Blackwell medal was established. It’s given to women who have excellent achievements in the field of medicine. She’ll always be remembered as a great woman.
