In 1945 there were 17 universities in Britain; by 1967 there were 45．A period of very rapid expansion took place in the middle sixties when ten new institutes were granted university status by Royal Charter．These modern universities do not in many ways resemble their older counterparts．Much more emphasis is placed on advanced studies in science and technology and the newer social science disciplines than on the arts and humanities．For the most part of the buildings the students live and work in are severely functional and there are the hum and bustle of continuous activities．The quiet gardens and enclosed quadrangles of Oxford and Cambridge belong to another world．This will certainly happen, for the universities like everything else must change and adapt themselves to meet the needs and demands of a new age．

In recent years there has been a very rapid increase in the number of young people (especially girls) seeking higher education．Between 1962 and 1975, the number of students in higher education more than doubled from 222,400 to 497,000．Part of this increase is accounted for by the creation of thirty “Polytechnics” which offer a wide range of courses leading to recognized qualifications．

For those who missed the opportunities for higher education at the age of eighteen or so, a major innovation in the academic world now provides a second chance．The Open University was found in 1971; it offers tuition to degree standards to anyone who chooses to entry．The courses are taught through radio, television programs, Internet and by correspondence with Open University tutors．By now there are over 100,000 students enrolled for Open University and there are several thousand people who are the proud holders of a B．A degree from the Open University．

68．The underlined word “counterparts” in the first paragraph has the closest meaning with “______．”

                A．enemies                      B．leaders                         C．similarities                            D．strangers

69．Who can go to the Open Universities in Britain?

       A．The British young people only．

       B．Anyone who missed the chance to go to college．

       C．Girls who missed the chance to enter a college．

       D．Those who are interested in science and technology．

70．How can a student get taught in the Open University?

       A．Study in the open air of Oxford and Cambridge Universities．

       B．Through the modern communication methods．

       C．By self-study with the help of polytechnics．

       D．By attending to the top ten institutes in Britain．

71．Which of the following might serve as the best title of the above passage?

       A．Life in the Open Universities．                          B．Free Degrees in Open Universities．

       C．A Way Out, the Open Universities．     D．Open University, Past and Future．

CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL.

FROM THE DESK OF: MR. JOSEPH YANA.

AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK (ADB)

BURKINA-FASO.

Dear Sir / Madam,

    I am the Bill and Exchange (assistant) Manager of the Africa development Bank, MR. JOSEPH YANA.

    In my department I discovered an abandoned sum of USD$9.900.000 in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his wife and two children in July 2000 in a plane crash. Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin(近親屬) to come over and claim his money, but unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him in the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim.

    It is therefore upon this discovery that I in my department now decided to make this business proposals to you and release the money to you as next of kin or relation since nobody is coming for it and we don't want this money to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The banking law and guidelines here says that if such money remains unclaimed after ten years, the money will be transferred into the bank treasury.

    The request of foreigner in this transaction is necessary because our late customer was a foreigner. We agree that 30% of this money will be for you as foreigner partner, 5% will be set aside for expenses incurred during the business and 65% would be for me, after which I shall visit your country for disbursement(開支) according to the percentages indicated. Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged, you must apply first to the bank, and send your account number, your private telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication and location where the money will be sent.

    Upon receiving your reply, I will send to you by fax or e-mail the text of the application which you shall retype and fax to us. Trusting to receive your urgent reply through my alternative Email : jyana96 @ yahoo.co.id

    Best regards.

                                                     MR. JOSEPY YANA.

Parents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers (青少年). But last summer, Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their older son: suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents. “ The door to his room is always shut.” Joanna noted. 

   Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter. “She used to cuddle up (蜷伏) with me on the sofa and talk ,” said Mark . “Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something, Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady. The problem is figuring out which time is which.” 

　 Before age 11, children like to tell their parents what’s on their minds. “In fact, parents are first on the list.” said Michael Riera, author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers. “This completely changes during the teen years.” Riera explained. “They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last.”

　　Parents who know what’s going on in their teenagers’ lives are in the best position to help them. To break down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them. And they must give their children a mental break, for children also need freedom, though young. Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend, not a manager, with their children is a better way to know them. 

72．“The door to his room is always shut” suggests that the son______________.

　A．is always busy with his studies 

　B．doesn’t want to be disturbed

　　C．keeps himself away from his parents 

　　D．begins to dislike his parents

73. What troubles Tina and Mark most is that _____________.

　　A．their daughter isn’t as lovely as before

　　B．they can’t read their daughter’s mind exactly

　　C．they don’t know what to say to their daughter

　　D．their daughter talks with them only when she needs help

74.Which of the following best explains “ the wall of silence” in the last paragraph?

　　A．Teenagers talk a lot with their friends.

　　B．Teenagers do not want to understand their parents.

　　C．Teenagers do not talk much with their parents.

　　D．Teenagers talk little about their own lives. 

 75.What can be learned from the passage?

　　A．Parents are unhappy with their growing children.

　　B．Parents have suitable ways to talk with their teenagers.

　　C．Parents should be patient with their silent teenagers.

　　D．Parents should try to understand their teenagers.
