12.Money Matters for Students
GETTING A GRANT(補助)
Who pays?
The local education authority (LEA) for the area in which the student is living.
Who can get this money?
Anyone who gets a place on a first degree course,although a student who has already attended a course of advanced further education may not.Students must also have been living in the UK for at least three years,which can exclude (排除) some students from overseas.
SPECIAL CASES
If a student has worked before going to college:
A student who is 26or more before the course starts and who has worked for at least three of the previous six years will get extra money-£155a year if 26,increasing to a maximum(最大值) of£615at 29or more.
If a student has disabilities:
LEAs will give up to£500to help meet extra expenses-such as buying a tape recorder for a blind student,extra heating or special food.
Banking:
Most of the big banks offer special services to students who open accounts (in the hope that they will stay with the bank when they become rich officials).A student won't usually have to pay bank charges as long as the account stays in credit.Some banks allow students to overdraw by£100or so,and still don't make charges (though they do charge interest).

32.A student from Japan who has been staying in England for a year and intends to go to college in a few months willB.
A.get money if he is taking a first degree course
B.be unable to get money from any LEA
C.get money from any LEA when he has finished his course
D.have to open a bank account before he gets any money
33.A 31-year-old nurse wishes to qualify as a doctor at a university.She has worked since she was 25.How much extra money will she get a year?C

A.£150.     B.£250.
C.£500.     D.£750.
35.You are a new student.Why may a bank welcome you as a customer?C
A.They know you receive money regularly.
B.They charge students extra.
C.They hope you will be rich and stay with the bank.
D.They need students accounts in term-time.

分析 錢對學(xué)生們來說至關(guān)重要.誰來給他們的教育買單呢?本文講述了在某些獎學(xué)金和資助的條件和要求.

解答 32.B細節(jié)理解題.由"Students must also have been resident in the UK for at least three years,which can exclude (排除) some students from overseas."可知至少要成為英國居民3年,由此這名日本學(xué)生不滿足條件,因此不能得到資助.故選B.
33.C事實細節(jié)題.從who has worked for at least three of the previous six years will get extra money-£155a year if 26,increasing to a maximum(最大值) of£615at 29or more.得知,有著6年工作經(jīng)驗的31歲的護士可以得到£615.故選C
34.B事實細節(jié)題.從LEAs will give up to£500 to help meet extra expenses-such as buying a tape recorder for a blind student,extra heating or special food得知一輛£750的輪椅自己只要付£250.因為LEAs會幫忙支付£500,故選B
35.C事實理解題.從最后一段in the hope that they will stay with the bank when they become rich officials銀行方面希望,未來這些學(xué)生成為富豪之后還能在他們那里辦理業(yè)務(wù),他們是以后的潛在客戶,由此得知答案應(yīng)該是C.

點評 本文是一個廣告布告類閱讀理解,題目涉及多道細節(jié)理解題,做題時結(jié)合原文和題目有針對性的找出相關(guān)語句進行仔細分析,結(jié)合選項選出正確答案.推理判斷題也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確答案,切忌胡亂猜測,一定要做到有理有據(jù).

20.Bissel is a small village of the West Sahara.It lies next to a l.5-square-kilometer oasis(綠洲),from where three days and nights are generally required to go out of the desert.However,before Ken Levin discovered it in 1926,none of the Bissel villagers had ever walked out of the desert.Reportedly,they were not unwilling to leave this barren land.Many had previously tried but failed,always somehow finding themselves back at the oasis after several days of trying to walk out.
When interviewed by Ken Levin,an expert at the British Royal College of Sciences,the villagers explained that no matter which direction they walked it always brought them back to the village.Why couldn't the Bissel villagers walk out of the desert?Levin was very puzzled.He had,by himself,managed to walk north from the village and reach the nearest town in three and a half days.He decided to carry out an experiment to solve the mystery.He and a Bissel villager called Argutel,would walk out of the desert together.They prepared enough water for a half-a-month journey and two camels.But this time Ken Levin didn't bring his compass.Levin would follow Argutel.
Ten days later,they had walked for about 500miles but were still in the desert.On the 11th morning,an oasis came into their view.They were back at Bissel.Levin now understood why the Bissel people couldn't escape the desert.They had no knowledge of the North Star,which had for centuries provided sailors and other travelers with a point of direction.In the desert,if a person goes forward relying only on their senses,they will not be able to travel in a straight line.Rather they will travel in a very large circle and eventually track back to where they began.Levin explained to Argutel the function of the North Star and said,"As long as you rest in the daytime and walk towards the brightest star at night,you would be able to walk out of the desert."Argutel did as he was told.Three days later,he came to the edge of the desert.
Now in the West Sahara,Bissel has become a bright pearl,where tens of thousands of tourists come every year.Argutel's bronze statue stands in the center of the town.On its base are the words:
           .

48.Ken Levin asked Argutel to walk to the north in order toA.
A.prove that people could walk out of the desert see
B.how far away Bissel was to the edge of the desert
C.tell people not to walk in circles
D.show Argutel was a great person
49.According to the passage,Ken LevinC.
A.knew Argutel before he came to the village
B.came to Bissel to do experiments on behalf of his college
C.became the first man to walk out of the desert from Bissel Village
D.taught Bissel villagers knowledge of the North Star when he first arrived
50.It can be inferred from the passage thatC.
A.Ken Levin didn't walk south because it would take more days
B.the use of a compass was necessary to walk out of the desert
C.tourism in Bissel has been greatly developed and improved
D.Argutel became the leader of Bissel after his return
51.Which of the following can most probably be found at the base of Argutel's statue?A
A.A new life starts from the fixed direction.
B.Where there is a will,there is a way.
C.A long journey starts with the first step.
D.Two heads are better than one.
