题目内容

　 In the current economic downturn，many American schools are adding a new

subject：financial literacy（理财）．One program in Virginia even gets students out of

the classroom for a day to learn how far their money will go in the real world. What

looks like a shopping mall is actually an educational field trip experience for a group of

young people.

　 Finance Park is a special place where students apply what they have been taught in

class about money management. The facility（设施）opened last year in Fairfax,

Virginia. It is the fifteenth Finance Park built in the last decade by Junior Achievement

USA，a non-profit organization helping to prepare young people for financial success.

"Since the financial crisis（危机），the demand for Finance Parks around the country

has grown，”says Ed Grenier，president of the Washington，DC chapter.

　 Financial literacy has only recently become part of the regular subjects in Fairfax

County.“Some students，some teachers，some schools did it，but now it is much

more systematic，”Reilly says，"and it can ensure that all students get this background

information.”That is why every eighth grade student in Fairfax County will eventually

spend a day here.

　 Thirteen-year-old Sam says she has learned an important life lesson.“I didn’t know

how expensive everything would be.”Anthony，also 13，is looking forward to telling

his parents what he learned.“I’11 probably tell them I want to stay a kid a little longer

and take my time to become an adult.”This isn't the end of financial studies for

Anthony and the other students here. Virginia is one of 23 states which requires

students to take a financial education class in high school in order to graduate.

68, The purpose of opening financial literacy is to＿

　 A. help students learn how to make money

　 B. tell students what the financial crisis is

　 C. students can graduate after taking a financial literacy class in Finance Park

　 D. students are interested in Finance Park and have the benefit of it

Even with the sun still high in the cloudless sky, the　28　of trees formed a leafy　29　over the road and it suddenly seemed 　30　in the evening.
“A guy could get lost and nobody would ever find him,” said Chambers.
Smith smiled, “We’re　31　there.” He said. A few seconds later, the smile was 　32　　from his face.
“What the hell is that?”
　　He braked to a stop. Less than twenty feet away was what appeared to be a 33 .

　　　Scholars and students have always been great travelers. The official case for “academic mobility” is now often stated in impressive terms as a fundamental necessity for economic and social progress in the world, and debated in the areas of Europe, but it is certainly nothing new. Serious students were always ready to go abroad in search of the best teachers and the most famous academies; in search of the purest philosophy, the most effective medicine, the likeliest road to gold
　　Mobility of this kind meant also mobility of ideas, their moving across borders, their simultaneous (同时发生的)impact upon many groups of people. The point of learning is to share it, whether with students or with colleagues; one thinks that only eccentrics have no interest in being credited(相信) with a striking discovery, or a new technique. It must also have been comforting to know that other people in other parts of the world were about to make the same discovery or were thinking along the same lines, and that one was not quite alone, faced by question, ridicule or neglect.
　　In the twentieth century, and particularly in the last 20 years, the old footpaths of the wandering scholars have become vast highways. The vehicle which has made this possible has of course been the aeroplane, making contact between scholars even in the most distant places immediately available, and providing for the very rapid transmission of knowledge.
　　Apart from the vehicle itself, it is fairly easy to identify the main factors which have brought about the recent explosion in academic movement. Some of these are purely quantitative and require no further mention: there are far more centres of learning, and a far greater number of scholars and students.
　　In addition one must recognize the very considerable increase of all kinds of subjects, particularly in the sciences, which by widening the total area of advanced studies has produced an enormous number of specialists whose particular interests are precisely defined. These people would work in some isolation if they were not able to keep in touch with similar isolated groups in other countries.
71.It can be concluded from the passage that"academic mobility"_____.
A.means the friendship formed by scholars on the trip
B.is a program carried out by governments
C.has been put great emphasis on in the world
D.means going abroad in search of the best teachers
72.The word "eccentric" underlined in the second paragraph most probably means_____.
A.a rather strange person                              B.a person of no exceptional ability
C.an ambitious person                                  D.peculiar or unusual
73.In the eyes of the author,what happens to a scholar who shares his ideas with his
colleagues?
A.He risks his ideas being stolen.                   B.He gains recognition for his achievement
C.He is considered as an eccentric.                 D.He is credited with a striking discovery.
74.According to the passage,the recent growth in air travel has meant that_____.
A.travel around the world becomes realistic and affordable
B.more students from remote areas can attend universities
C.all kinds of information can be shared by more people
D.scholars can meet each other more easily
75.The author thinks that it's important for scholars to be able to travel because_____.
A.their laboratories are in remote places
B.there is too much stress at universities
C.their fellow experts are spread across the world
D.there are so many people working in similar fields
