　　(***)

　　Diana Jacobs thought her family had a workable plan to pay for college for her 21-year-old twin sons: a combination of savings, income, scholarships, and a modest amount of borrowing. Then her husband lost his job, and the plan fell apart.

　　“I have two kids in college, and I want to say ‘come home，’ but at the same time I want to provide them with a good education，” says Jacobs.

　　The Jacobs family did work out a solution: They asked and received more aid from the schools, and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the federal loan (貸款) program. They will each graduate with $20,000 of debt, but at least they will be able to finish school.

　　With unemployment rising, financial aid administrators expect to hear from more families like the Jacobses.More students are applying for aid, and more families expect to need student loans. College administrators are concerned that they will not have enough aid money to go around.

　　At the same time, tuition(學費)continues to rise. A report from the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education found that college tuition and fees increased 439% from 1982 to 2007, while average family income rose just 147%. Student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade.

　　“If we go on this way for another 25 years, we won’t have an affordable system of higher education，” says Patrick M. Callan, president of the center. “The middle class families have been financing it through debt. They will send kids to college whatever it takes, even if that means a huge amount of debt.”

　　Financial aid administrators have been having a hard time as many companies decide that student loans are not profitable enough and have stopped making them. The good news, however, is that federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing, and the government says that money will flow uninterrupted.

　　()11.According to Paragraph 1，why did the plan of the Jacobs family fail?

　　A．The twins wasted too much money.

　　B．The father was out of work.

　　C．Their savings ran out.

　　D．The family fell apart.

　　()12.How did the Jacobses manage to solve their problem?

　　A. They asked their kids to come home.

　　B. They borrowed $20,000 from the schools.

　　C．They encouraged their twin sons to do part-time jobs.

　　D．They got help from the schools and the federal government.

　　()13.Financial aid administrators believe that ________.

　　A. more families will face the same problem as the Jacobses

　　B. the government will receive more letters of complaint

　　C．college tuition fees will double soon

　　D. America’s unemployment will fall

　　()14.What can we learn about the middle class families from the text?

　　A. They blamed the government for the tuition increase.

　　B. Their income remained steady in the last decade.

　　C．They will try their best to send kids to college.

　　D. Their debts will be paid off within 25 years.

　　()15.According to the last paragraph, the government will ________.

　　A. provide most students with scholarships

　　B. dismiss some financial aid administrators

　　C．stop the companies from making student loans

　　D. go on providing financial support for college students

　　(二)

　　隨著Diana Jacobs丈夫的失業，她供養兩個雙胞胎兒子上大學的計劃泡湯了。他們不得不向學校申請更多的援助，把助學貸款提高到最大額度。寧愿背負巨額的債務，他們也要提供給孩子們良好的教育。很多家庭也處于同樣的困境，政府正在努力保證貸款資金以幫助那些困難的家庭。

　　11. B　細節理解題。根據第一段最后一句話可知答案為B。

　　12. D　細節理解題。根據第三段中They asked and received more aid form the schools, and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the federal loan (貸款) program.可以判斷正確答案為D。

　　13. A　細節理解題。根據第四段第一句話以及后面更詳細的說明可知，將有更多的家庭面臨像Jacobs一家同樣的問題，因此選A。

　　14. C　細節理解題。由倒數第二段的The middle class families…They will send kids to college whatever it takes, even if that means a huge amount of debt.可知，中產階級不惜任何代價送他們的孩子上大學。由此可知正確答案為C。

　　15. D　推理判斷題。根據最后一段…federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing, and the government says that money will flow uninterrupted.可以判斷政府會繼續給大學生們提供資金支持。

　　Elizabeth Blackwell was born on February 3, 1821 in Bristol, England. Her father was a rich sugar businessman at the time. Because her parents thought boys and girls should be equal, Elizabeth received the same education as her brothers.

　　In 1832, her father’s business was destroyed by fire, so her family moved to New York City. But her father’s business there failed. Then in 1837, the family moved to Cincinnati, Ohio. Not long after, her father died. After her father’s death, Elizabeth, at the age of 16, had to go to work.

　　When she was 24, she visited her dying friend Mary. Her friend said, “You’re young and strong, you should become a doctor.” That was nearly impossible for a woman in the middle of the nineteenth century. But she knew this was what she was going to do.

　　After several rejections from medical schools, she finally was accepted by Geneva Medical College. By studying hard, she graduated successfully in 1849.

　　After graduating from medical school, she went to Paris to learn more about medicine. She wanted to be a surgeon, but a serious eye problem forced her to give up the idea.

　　When she returned to America in 1851, she found it difficult to start her own practice because she was a woman. In 1857, Elizabeth and her sister, also a doctor, along with another woman doctor, managed to open a new hospital, the first for women and children. Besides, she also set up the first medical school for women in 1868, where she taught the women students about disease prevention. It was the first time that the idea of preventing disease was taught in a medical school.

　　Elizabeth Blackwell started the British National Health Society in 1871, which helped people learn how to stay healthy. In 1889, Elizabeth Blackwell became the first woman doctor in the United States. Most importantly she fought for the admission of women to medical colleges.

　　Elizabeth Blackwell died on May 3, 1910, when she was 89.She opened a world of chances for women. She always fought for what was right in all her life. In 1949 the Blackwell medal was established. It’s given to women who have excellent achievements in the field of medicine. She’ll always be remembered as a great woman.
