20.Will Nanfang University of Science and Technology in Shenzhen announce a new beginning for China's higher education reform?It's too early to answer.But its presence is challenging the Ministry of Education.Even without the approval of the ministry it seems that the school is determined to move forward and enroll 50students,so-called child prodigies(奇才),to begin classes on March l,2011.On graduating in 2015,these students will receive a diploma unauthorized by the Ministry of Education-unlike the students of their age from the state-run universities.The school is committed to modeling itself on Hong Kong University of Science and Technology,but if the government will not approve the school,the situation could cause a lot of trouble for those 50students if they want to do graduate studies at other higher learning institutions.Other schools could turn their applications down for their unauthorized diplomas.
The difficulties,however,have not frightened students and their parents away.On Dec.18,2010more than 1,000students and their parents visited Nanfang University of Science and Technology for interviews.
Private investment marks the school out from other higher learning institutions in the nation.Not a penny comes from the government.So the government will have no voice in how the school will be run.
The Ministry of Education has published a comprehensive plan for education reform and development between 2011and 2020.The goal is to make China's higher education internationally competitive.To accomplish this goal,the government should have the courage to let the educators who have big ideas try them out.The ministry should have applauded the independence the school in Shenzhen has shown and encouraged more to do likewise.
Education reform in China has reached a new and crucial stage.Nanfang University of Science and Technology has a long way to go to prove itself competitive rather than a diploma mill.

A.they believe that the school will have a bright future
B.they believe the government is sure to approve the school
C.the school models itself on Hong Kong University successfully

A.the government will have no voice in the school
B.they won't receive any diploma when graduating from the school
C.other schools are unlikely to accept their diploma from the school
D.they will not learn how to be competitive
62.What does the author think of Nanfang University of Science and Technology?D
A.It is another kind of diploma mill.
B.It's impossible for the school to be competitive.
C.It will never get the approval from the Ministry of Education.
D.Its independence from the government may benefit the education reform.
63.What is the best title of the passage?A
A.University of New Style. B.China's Education Reform.
C.Modeling Hong Kong University. D.Authorized or Not?

17.It's easy to see how the sawfish got its name.These frightful creatures can grow to be more than 6 meters long.Their bodies are flat and winged,like underwater airplanes.And their noses are shaped like chainsaws.
Sawfish are food hunters of the sea.When a sawfish is hungry,it waves its sharp-toothed snout (口鼻部) through a group of fish.Then,it lifts its nose and uses its mouth to draw the injured victims.
Hardy (适应力强的) population of sawfish thrived in warm waters along coastlines around the world for thousands of years.Over the past 200 years,however,human actions have severely endangered sawfish.Threats include fishing nets that trap the huge animals,often by mistake.
Some people collect sawfish's snouts as prizes:One snout recently sold for nearly $ 1,600 online.In some Asian cultures,the toothy snouts are used in ceremonies to drive evil and disease away.And sawfish are also delicious.A growing demand in Asia for the fish's fins for a pricey soup has contributed to the fish's loves.Compared with other fish,sawfish give birth late in life and at slow rates,which makes it hard for them to recover from overfishing.
New efforts now aim to restore sawfish population.Beginning next month,an international agreement will provide protection for all seven of the world's sawfish species.Scientists are hoping that it's not too late to save the sawfish.
Until 1998,"this fish had never been formally studied in the United States,"says Tonya Wiley of the Mote Marine Laboratory in Sarasota,Fla."We didn't know such basic things as where they live,what habitat they use,how often they breed,how many young they have-even what age sawfish are when they begin breeding."
Through historical studies and field research,scientists have become aware of how much the fish's numbers have decreased.Today,there may be 90 percent fewer sawfish than there used to be.Wiley estimates that only 3,000 to 6,000 sawfish remain in US waters.
