21、 If you had a strange sound in your ear，what would you do? One man in Wales who thought he had a fly in his ear called 999，the emergency services number in Britain．And so did a woman who was worried about her green potatoes．Could she make chips with them? Were they poisonous?

22、   In the United States, experts are calling for major changes to the admission process in higher education.

The National Center for Educational Statistics (or NCES) reported that U.S colleges and universities received more than million applications between 2013 and 2014 and admitted more than 5 million students. But the problem is not in the number of students, a new report says. The report is called 'Turning the Tide-Making Caring Common. '

The report argues that the process schools use to choose students causes major problems. David Hawkins is the Executive Director for Educational Content and Policy. He says that most colleges and universities require many things from students when they apply.

Schools usually require an essay describing a student's interests or why they want to study at that school. The schools also ask for letters from teachers describing why a student is a good candidate. But, Hawkins says, schools are most concerned with a student's high school grades and standardized test results.

The Education Conservancy is an organization that fights to make higher education equal and available. Lloyd Thacker is the Executive Director of the Education Conservancy, saying that the college admission process has changed a lot.

'Over the past 30 years, college admissions have become more complex. ' He says that ranking systems for colleges and universities are a big part of the problem.

U.S. News and World Report is a media company that creates a list of what it calls 'America's Best Colleges'. The company bases the list on information collected from colleges and universities across the country. This information includes results of standardized tests like the SAT from all of a school's students. Higher average test results help put schools higher on the list.

Thacker claims, 'Too many students are learning to do whatever it takes in order to get ahead, even if that means sacrificing their own individuality, their health, their happiness and behavior…'

'The impact on students and on parents is that college is all about where you go. The rank has nothing to do with the quality of education that goes on at the college'.

The Harvard report states that the best way to change the admission process is by changing college applications.

【1】When choosing students, colleges and universities attach greatest importance to  .

A.their teachers' opinion B.their personal interest

C.their academic performance D.their reasons for application

【2】The media company ranks the schools on the basis of  .

A.peoples' attitude towards the schools

B.employment rate of its graduates

C.the schools' teaching quality

D.information like test results

【3】Which of the following does Lloyd Thacker probably agree with?

A.Colleges are supposed to admit more and more students.

B.It is necessary to apply for a proper university by referring to the rank.

C.There is little relationship between colleges rank and the quality of education.

D.The better the applicants grades are, the more likely they will be admitted.

【4】Which of the following is the best title of the passage?

A.Higher Rankings Matter a Great Deal

B.Colleges Look to Change Admission Process

C.Colleges Admission Process Makes a Difference

D.Testing Results Determine Students' Fate

23、   Lots of students are unsure about a variety of factors when they consider which college might represent a good fit for them, but they believe they know exactly what they want when it comes to college size.

【1】. Here are a few of the less-obvious reasons a smaller school might be a good fit:

1. The professors actually do the teaching. Most small colleges only teach undergraduate degrees.【2】, and more importantly, graduate students won’t be teaching any of your classes.

2. More focused and direct feedback (反馈). You’ve heard the expression “You’re just a number.” Think about the homework and tests that need to be graded in a class with 450 students. 【3】. But at small schools, class sizes are smaller, and professors will have more time to read a student’s work.

3. Research chances. Students at small schools are able to develop relationships with professors more easily, since there is a smaller number of students. 【4】.

4. Less red tape. It’s just easier to get things done at a small school. 【5】, and there are fewer regulations. One of the biggest frustrations (令人沮丧的事物) at large schools is that important classes become full quickly, forcing students to either take them over the summer or stay an extra term.

A.Small colleges may offer more sports activities

B.Professors and administrators have more flexibility

C.That means there aren’t graduate students on campus

D.The size of a school really can change your experience

E.It’s great to see students make a 180-degree turn after they visit some small colleges

F.Teachers there don’t have much time to offer advice on every student’s piece of work

G.Most professors know their students’ names and count on them to take part in their research

24、   Many electronic parts are made of hard materials that break easily. That makes them tough to use in products that need to bend. Now, Sam Yoon and his team have developed a thin mesh (网状物) that can both bend and conduct electricity.

His team started out with something called acrylonitrile, a clear liquid often used to make thin plastic fibers. Yoon and his team mixed this material with another liquid, which acted as a solvent. A solvent is something that can make other substances into liquids. Then, they squeezed the mix through a very tiny pipe: As the mixture was sprayed through the air, the solvent evaporated(挥发)and the acrylonitrile molecules linked up to make long chains, creating a type of plastic known as PAN. The researchers continually squeezed the mixture through the pipe. A single long PAN fiber was created. The scientists moved the pipe back and forth as the PAN was squeezed out. It ended up creating a layer that looked something like a spider’s web.

PAN, like most plastics, doesn’t conduct electricity. So the team’s next step would normally be to add a coating of metal so that electricity could flow through it. But it could be tough sticking such coatings on PAN. So the researchers added an extra step. They sprayed a thin coating of an inert metal onto the PAN. Inert metals, like gold, typically don’t react with other materials. The researchers then added another layer of PAN fiber at the top of the first, web-like layer. They provide temporary support, helping the metal-sprayed base resist sinking during the next step.

The researchers connected the fiber-covered frame to a negatively changed electrode. Then they dipped the fiber-covered frame into a solution that included the liquid copper. The team turned on the electric current for about one minute to make it run through the solution. The copper in the solution was attached to all of the fibers. But it stuck only to those that wore a metal jacket. Besides adding a thin layer of copper that conducts electricity, this process helped bond the PAN strands together at places, where they touched each other, Yoon notes.

The researchers then attached all of the fibers to a thin, clear layer of plastic, which had sticky backing, like a Band-Aid. Finally, the team dipped all of these into a liquid that made any of the PAN fibers that lacked a copper jacket into liquids. Only those that can be used to conduct electricity were left. Because the fibers were very thin and widely separated, light waves easily travel through the mesh. The copper coating acted just like a wire, permitting electricity to flow freely across it.

【1】The team used another liquid in the process to  .

A.make acrylonitrile evaporate B.turn acrylonitrile into plastic fibers

C.make acrylonitrile conduct electricity D.conduct electricity instead of acrylonitrile

【2】What should the team do first when using PAN?

A.Make it easy to break. B.Make it react with other materials.

C.Make it conduct electricity. D.Find a way to make it into a liquid.

【3】What does the underlined word those in the last paragraph refer to?

A.The thin plastics. B.Just the copper coatings.

C.All the PAN fibers. D.All the copper-coated fibers.
