7.Cambridge graduates are the most employable in the world,according to a global league table.The ancient university is the best at producing graduates who are‘ready to work',a poll of major employers found.
Oxford slipped to fourth place in the rankings having taken top spot last year.Harvard and Yale-part of the US‘Ivy League'of universities-were second and third respectively.
Five British universities were ranked in the top 20-one more than last year-and 12were in the full list of 150.
But the UK as a country came third-behind the US and Germany-when companies were asked to name the best nation for producing work-ready graduates.
The table-the Global Employability(就業(yè)能力)University Ranking published by the International New York Times-also showed that universities in Asian countries were rapidly gaining ground on their western counterparts (對(duì)手).
Asian universities claimed 20percent of the top 150places in 2014compared with only 10percent when the tables were first published in 2010.
The other British universities in the top 20were University College London,in 14th place,Imperial College London,in 15th,and Edinburgh,18th.
The table showed the gap between a small number of top UK universities and less famous institutions.
Laurent Dupasquier,managing partner at Emerging,a French human resources consultancy,said:"The top tier players.global brands (which tend to be all American and British).continue to lead,while other Anglo-Saxon universities,those that are mainly regional players,tend to develop less well,with an average of five places lost in comparison with last year."
"Like the Premier League(英超聯(lián)賽),the champions have an international community of students and think internationally,unlike their more locally oriented counterparts."
The table was made following a survey of 2,500major companies in 20countries.Employers were asked to rank universities against a range of criteria including their production of graduates who are ready to work and their links with business.
The study claimed that‘the days of ivory towers are over'.

32.Which university had the best work-ready graduates last yearB?
A.Cambridge.    
B.Oxford.    
C.Harvard.  
D.Yale.
33.The underlined phrase"gaining ground"in Paragraph 5 probably refers toD.
A.falling behind    
B.coming into conflict
C.making room     
D.becoming more successful
34.What can we learn about the UK universities from the textA?

C.Universities in the UK make up most of the top 20.
D.Almost all UK university graduates are employable.

12.The year of 2014saw smart people always busy inventing useful things,which have hepled to make the world better,smarter and a little for fun.Now,let's take a look at some of the inventions.
Super banana
Australian biogeneticist(生物遺傳學(xué)家) James Dale visited Uganda,a poor African country,in the early 2000s,where he found that 15-30percent of children under 5were at risk of going blind because they did not get enough Vitamin A.Dale also learned that people there love bananas.They eat three to 11bananas a day.So he came up with the idea to plant bananas containing added nutrition in order to improve Ugandans'health.With the help of Bill Gates'foundation,Dale developed the"super banana".He added a gene to the fruit,making it rich in Vitamin A.
Coaching basketball
Basketball is popular worldwide,partly because you only need a hoop(籃筐) and a ball to play the game.But this simple game has experienced a technology makeover this year with the development of a smart-sensor basketball.
The ball,called the 94Fifty Basketball,has nine sensors inside.They can tell you anything from how fast you are going to how accurate your shot angles are.
With a Bluetooth chip inside,the basketball can connect to your smartphone and tell you in the voice of a coach to"snap your wrist (傳旋轉(zhuǎn)球)",or"go faster",depending on the data.
The Hovercraft
Thanks to the California-based company Hendo,flying past your friends on a floating board could soon become a reality.
The Hovercraft has four small engines.These create a special magnetic field which produce enough force to lift the board off  the ground.
At the moment,the hoverboard(懸浮滑板) can only float an inch off the ground for 15minutes and must fly over a metal material.It's expensive too,at $10,000 (61,810yuan),but the company hopes that one day the technology could be used.
Wireless electricity
Most of us could not bear to live without wireless Internet.We use it every day for everything from our phones to our cars.But one company wants to go a step further,by combining wireless technology with electricity.
That's right,no more tangled (纏繞的) wires and no more having to sit and hold your cell phone near a power socket(插座) in the corner of the room.WiTricity,a US company,has invented technology that can power objects up to 2.4meters away.It uses a special plug-in coil (線圈) that creates a magnetic field!

28.Which of the following statements would James Dale agree with?D
A.Children in Uganda should eat fewer bananas.
B.Vitamin A is largely found in fruits like bananas.
C.Super bananas are definitely a safe biological product.
D.people's eating habits can be used to develop new food.
29.What is the biggest advantage of the 94Fifty Basketball?B
A.The sensors hidden inside can help players run faster in a game.
B.It can help players to improve their shooting and ball handling skills.
C.It allows players to connect to their smartphones while playing basketball.
D.The bluetooth chip inside allows its users to listen to music while playing basketball.
30.What can we learn about the Hovercraft from the text?C
A.It enables its users to float off the ground freely.
B.It can work on many different kinds of surfaces.
C.It still needs to improve its power and efficiency.
D.It is an affordable means of transport for a family.
31.What do the hovercraft and wireless electricity have in common according to the text?A
A.They create magnetic fields to produce power.
B.They apply technologies to many things in life.
C.They apply technologies which can produce electricity.
D.They use wireless technology to improve their products.
