【题目】 An increase in students applying to study economics at university is being attributed to (归因于)the global economic crisis awakening a public thirst for knowledge about how the financial system works.

Applications for degree courses beginning this autumn were up by 15% this January, according to UCAS, the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service. A. spokesman for the Royal Economic Society said applications to do economics at A-level were also up.

“There are a large number of students who are not economics majors, who would like to learn something about it. One of the things I have done this year is to relate my teaching to contemporary events in a way that one hasn’t traditionally done. ” he added.

University applications rose 7% last year. But there were rises above average in several subjects. Nursing saw a 15% jump, with people’s renewed interest in careers in the public sector(部门), which are seen as more secure in economic crisis.

A. recent study showed almost two thirds of parents believed schools should do more to teach pupils about financial matters, and almost half said their children had asked them what was going on, although a minority of parents felt they did not understand it themselves well enough to explain.

Zack Hocking, the head of Child Trust Funds, said: “It’s possible that one good thing to arise from the downturn will be a generation that’s financially wiser and better equipped to manage their money through times of economic uncertainty.”

【题目】 Sugar art is an art about using sugar to create complex (复杂的)shapes, scenes (场面) and patterns. Artisans (手艺人)at the top of their field even attend competitions. 1Exhibitions of sugar art appear especially during the winter holiday season. And the exhibits at these events can be exciting.

2 Sugar art has been around for centuries, developing in different parts of the world. As noted in Harold McGee’s book On Food and Cookingsugar art likely dates as far back as 4,000 B. Cwhen islanders in Papua New Guinea cut sugarcane (甘蔗)for its juice. He also noted that the first candy recipe (食谱)was found in an Egyptian tomb and written around 3,500 B.C.

In order to do sugar art, people need training in working with sugar. Many skills can be used for this art. All of these skills require skills and practice. Besides, sugar can be very difficult to work with and sometimes dangerous. 3

A skilled sugar art artisan can create different shapes using sugar, including animals and flowers. But sugar creations can go bad quickly. 4 Besides, many sugar creations are easy to break. The easily going-bad nature of sugar is one of the things about sugar which attract some artisans, as the creations are designed to be enjoyed for a short period of time only. Some people specialize in sugar creations that can be eaten, such as decorations for cakes. Others may use stabilizers (稳定剂)and they are not safe to eat.5 Sugar art schools sometimes hold an exhibition of stabilized sugar creations, with students working together to build a scene entirely out of sugar.

A. Sugar art has a long history.

B. Sugar art is different from other art forms.

C. So sugar art beginners had better receive training.

D. But they can make more long-lasting sugar creations.

E. They want to test skills in competitions against others.

F. Sugar art usually uses a combination of the following skills.

G. In high temperatures, the shapes of the sugar creations will change.

【题目】 Born in the 1950s, shopping malls were once the symbol of the U.S. consumer culture, but many are now dying out.

Dying shopping malls can be found across the United States, often in middle-class suburbs. Economic decline in certain areas together with an upward trend towards online shopping and new forms of urban shopping centers have pushed the once seemingly unbeatable shopping malls into decline. It is estimated that 15 to 50 percent of shopping malls may close in the coming decades.

American shopping culture follows its housing culture. Numerous shopping malls were therefore born after the Second World War, as Americans with cars and fat wallets moved to the suburbs. U.S. shopping malls were built at a rapid pace as shoppers fled cities, peaking in the mid-1990s when they were being built at a rate of 140 a year. Thus, too many shopping malls are left though construction has gradually decreased since then.

Currently, there are around 1,500 shopping malls across the U.S. Most share a handful of similar feature. They usually contain two or three stories of stores separated by walkways. Food courts serve pizza and other fast food. Parking lots are big enough to easily misplace a car.

Shopping malls in Europe might contain grocery stores or childcare centers, while those in Japan are often built around mass transit (交通枢纽). But the suburban American shopping malls are hard to get to and mainly sell clothes and gifts.

As many shopping malls became redundant (过剩的), leaders in many U.S. towns who once fought for malls now struggle with how to transform them to new uses. Highland Mall in Texas is being transformed into a community college campus, and Lakeland Mall in Florida now houses a megachurch (大型教会). Others have been redeveloped to include housing, offices and even green space. However, it is hard to imagine every shopping mall meeting the demands for such transformations.

1What is this passage mainly about?

A.The introduction to American consumer culture.

B.The changes in Americans' shopping habits.

C.The growth of American shopping centers.

D.The decline of American shopping malls.

2When did the construction speed of IS shopping malls reach the highest point?

A.After the Second World WarB.In the mid-1990s.

C.After mass transit appeared.D.In the 2000s.

3What do many U.S. towns do to solve the redundant shopping malls?

A.They make them look different from each other.

B.They make them more accessible to the public.

C.They change them to serve other purposes.

D.They move them to the urban areas.
