21、 Until recently, the University of Kent prided itself on its friendly image. Not any more. Over the past few months it has been working hard, with the help of media consultants, to downplay its cozy reputation in favor of something more academic and serious.
Kent is not alone in considering an image revamp (翻新). Changes to next year’s funding regime (制度) are both forcing universities to justify charging students up to 9,000 in fees.
Nowadays, universities putting much more of a focus on their brands and what their value propositions are. While in the past universities have often focused on students’ social life and attractions of the university town in recruitment campaigns, they are now concentrating on more tangible attractions, such as employment prospects, engagement with industry, and lecturer contact hours, making clear exactly what students are going to get for their money.
The problem for universities is that if those benefits fail to materialize, students notice. That worries Rob Behrens, chief executive of the Office of the Independent Adjudicator (OIA), which deals with student complaints. “Universities need to be extremely careful that... they describe the reality of what’s going to happen to students,” he says. “Because competition is going to get greater for attracting students, there is a danger that universities will go the extra mile.”
One university told prospective engineering students they would be able to design a car and race it at Brands Hatch, which never happened, he says. “If universities spent as much money on handling complaints and appeals appropriately as they spend on marketing, they would do better at keeping students, and in the National Student Survey returns,” he says.
Ongoing research by Heist tracking prospective 2012 students suggests that they are not only becoming more sophisticated in thinking about what they want from a university, but are also spending more time researching evidence to back up institutional claims.
Hence the growing importance of the student survey and league tables. From next September, all institutions will also be expected to publish on their websites key information sets, allowing easier comparison between institutions—and between promises and reality—of student satisfaction levels, course information, and the types of jobs and salaries graduates go on to.
As a result, it is hardly surprising that universities are beginning to change the way they market themselves. While the best form of marketing for institutions is to be good at what they do, they also need to be clear about how they are different from others.
And it is vital that once an institution claims to be particularly good at something, it must live up to it. The moment you position yourself, you become exposed because you have played your joker, and if you fail in that you are in trouble.
【1】What are universities putting their focus on to attract students?
A.A friendly reputation. B.Student funding.
C.Students’ social life. D.Practical benefits.
【2】According to Behrens, which of the following may NOT be the consequences if students’ complaints are not dealt well with?
A.Universities may not be able to attract prospective students.
B.Students will become more sophisticated.
C.It will do harm to the reputation of the universities.
D.Universities may not be able to keep students.
【3】Rob Behrens suggests universities do in marketing themselves EXCEPT ________.
A.make high promises to attract students B.establish their own strengths
C.show graduates career perspective D.show their feature courses
【4】What does the underlined word “joker” refer to?
A.A person who are good at communication.
B.A thing that cannot be predicted.
C.The best thing that people cannot afford to lose.
D.A card that can be matched to any card.
22、Australian children could soon be playing with Lego made from recycled plastic as the toy giant expands its green qualities. The new recycled brick, which uses plastic from discarded (被丢弃的) bottles, is the company’s latest step in its journey to make Lego products from sustainable (可持续的) materials.
It is the first brick made from a recycled material to meet the Danish-based toy giant’s strict quality and safety requirements. A team of more than 150 engineers and scientists in Denmark have been working on the environmentally friendly brick for more than three years, testing more than 250 variations (变体) of plastic materials.
The new recycled brick will “work perfectly” with existing Lego bricks and should be on Australian shelves within 16 to 22 months, according to Tim Brooks, vice president of environmental responsibility at the Lego Group.
The company takes pride in the way its bricks are handed down from generation to generation—bricks that were made in the 1950s are still used together with those produced today.
“We know kids care about the environment and want us to make our products more sustainable. Even though it will be a while before they will be able to play with bricks made from recycled plastic, we want to let kids know we’re working on it and bring them along on the journey with us,”Mr Brooks said.
The discarded bottles are sourced from the US, with a one-litre plastic PET bottle providing enough raw material for 10 Lego bricks. The recycled brick is the latest move in Lego’s plan to make its products more sustainable by 2030.
Mr Brooks said that Lego will devote itself to playing a part in building a sustainable future for generations of children. “We want our products to have a positive influence on the planet. We still have a long way to go on our journey but are pleased with the progress we’re making.”
【1】What kind of materials does Lego concentrate on recently?

B．Cost-saving materials.
C．Fresh materials.
D．Technological materials.
【2】What can we know about the new recycled brick of Lego?
A．It meets global strict quality and safety requirements.
B．It is expected to go on the market in Australia in the near future.
C．It took researchers less than three years to complete.
D．It was made from more than 250 types of plastic materials.
【3】How many one-litre plastic PET bottles are needed to produce 100 Lego bricks?
A．10.
B．16.
C．22.
D．250.
【4】What does Mr Brooks think of Lego’s journey to build a sustainable future?
A．It will bring great profit.
B．It has drawn public attention.
C．It still needs further efforts to better it.
D．It has influenced children’s playing experience.
23、An opinion poll was conducted in the early 1990s to find out the cultural attitudes of residents of five countries in Western Europe (Britain, France, Italy, Spain and Germany). One thousand people, forming a representative sample of the adult population, from each of the five participating countries were interviewed.
The poll assumed that literature, history, science, arts, law, economics and so on would be regarded as significant elements of culture by all participants, but it set out to examine the areas which they considered the most important forms of cultural expression. In addition, the poll required interviewees to indicate in a questionnaire the type of education they considered most appropriate for the modern world, the best channels of knowledge and arts they most valued. 【1】
The results of the poll show interesting differences between the participating nations in terms of which components of culture they regard as most important forms of cultural expression. For the French and Italians, literature comes well at the top of the list. 【2】 History occupies second place for the French, the Italians and Germans but is given very low priority by the British. For the Spanish these four areas are more or less equal, with mathematics having a slight edge.
It seems that members of each country in the survey have a common definition of culture but that definition varies from country to country. 【3】 The French and Italians are literary peoples, the British scientific and the Germans practical and hard-working.
France has the distinction, according to the results of the poll, of being the country which provokes most interest from its British. Italian and German neighbors. 【4】 The French also placed Italy first. Italy occupies second place for both the British and the Germans. It would seem, then, that the “literary” nations of France and Italy are more culturally exciting than the scientific British or the practical Germans!
A．In contrast, mathematics is given priority by the British and economics,/politics by the Germans.
B．There are clear differences in the views of various European nations.
C．The interviewees were also asked which European country they found most attractive from a cultural point of view.
D．Spanish interviewees indicated more interest in Italy than in France.
E．The residents of the five countries of the survey share the view that books are the best way of broadening knowledge.
F．The variations tend to support the national stereotypes we have of one another.
24、How much rubbish do you imagine a person will produce in his lifetime? It’s about 127,604 pounds of rubbish. However, Lauren Singer, who majored in environmental science at New York University, began working toward living a “Zero Waste” lifestyle while still studying at university and has been completely “waste-free” for the past two years, proving that a waste-free lifestyle is possible.
Lauren regularly writes about her experiences of a zero-waste life on her blog. Though she was determined to take a waste-free lifestyle, she admits that the past two years have been very difficult. However, she now feels that she is getting used to this kind of lifestyle. “I stopped buying packaged products and began bringing my own bags at the supermarket,” she explained, “I stopped buying new clothes and shopped for only secondhand things. As more and more time passes, I produce less and less.
Even though the journey is hard, Lauren’s zero-waste life is well worth the effort. She now saves a lot of money because she only buys what she needs rather than buy things blindly. She also eats fresh fruits and vegetables instead of packaged foods.
Today she has learned to make all of her own everyday eco-friendly products, such as toothpaste, shampoo, kitchen cleaner and so on in order to avoid creating unnecessary rubbish. She also founded her own waste-free company, the Simply Co., through which she sells her homemade products.
The 23-year-old girl has become an inspiration to many. And now she is busy giving talks on TV and accepting news reporters’ interviews about her zero-waste lifestyle.
Lead a waste-free lifestyle — We are the future of this planet!
