When next year’s crop of high-school graduates arrive at Oxford University in the fall of 2009, they’ll be joined by a new face: Andrew Hamilton, the 55-year-old provost(教务长) of Yale, who’ll become Oxford’s vice-chancellor——a position equal to university president in America.
Hamilton isn’t the only educator crossing the Atlantic. Schools in France, Egypt, Singapore, etc. have also recently made top-level hires from abroad. Higher education has become a big and competitive business nowadays, and like so many businesses, it’s gone global. Yet the talent flow isn’t universal. High-level personnel(人员) tend to head in only one direction: outward from America.
The chief reason is that American schools don’t tend to seriously consider looking abroad. For example, when the board of the University of Colorado searched for a new president, it wanted a leader familiar with the state government, a major source of the university’s budget. “We didn’t do any global consideration,” says Patricia Hayes, the board’s chair. The board finally picked Bruce Benson, a 69-year-old Colorado businessman and political activist(活动家) who is likely to do well in the main task of modern university presidents: fund-raising. Fund-raising is a particularlly American thing, since U.S. schools rely heavily on donations. The fund-raising ability is largely a product of experience and necessity.
Many European universities, meanwhile, are still mostly dependent on government funding. But government support has failed to keep pace with rising student numbers. The decline in government support has made fund-raising an increasingly necessary ability among administrators (管理人员), and has hiring committees hungry for Americans.
In the past few years, well-known schools around the world have joined the trend. In 2003, when Cambridge University appointed Alison Richard, another former Yale provost, as its vice-chancellor, the university publicly stressed that in her previous job she had overseen “a major strengthening of Yale’s financial position.”
Of course, fund-raising isn’t the only skill outsiders offer. The globalization of education means more universities will be seeking heads with international experience of some kind to promote international programs and attract a global student body. Foreigners can offer a fresh perspective(视角) on established practices.
What is the current trend in higher education discussed in the passage?
A.Institution worldwide are hiring administrators from the US.
B.A lot of activists are being hired as administrators
C. American universities are enrolling more international students.
D. University presidents are paying more attention to funding-raising.
What is the chief consideration of American universities when hiring top-level administrators?
A. The political correctness. B. Their ability to raise funds.
C. Their fame in academic circles. D. Their administrative experience.
What do we learn about European universities from the passage?
A. The tuitions(学费) they charge h ave been rising considerably.
B. Their operation is under strict government control.
C. They are strengthening their position by globalization.
D. Most of their money comes from the government.
In what way do top-level administrators from abroad contribute to university development?
A. They can improve the university’s image.
B. They will bring with them more international personnel.
C. They will view a lot of things from a new angle.
D. They can set up new academic subjects.
Which of the following would make the best title of the passage?
A. Higher Education Globalization B.Global Headhunting In Higher Education
C. Global Higher Education Cooperation D. Universal Higher Education Development

Among the most popular books being written today are science fictions (小说). Hundreds of titles are published every year and are read by all kinds of people. Furthermore, some of the most successful films of recent years have been based on science fiction stories.
It is often thought that science fiction is a fairly new development in literature, but its forefathers can be found in books written hundreds of years ago. These books were often concerned with the presentation of some form of ideal society, a main subject which is still often found in modern stories.
Most of the classics of science fiction, however, have been written within the last one hundred years. Books by writers, such as Jules Verne and H.G. Wells, to mention just two well–known authors, have been translated into many languages.
In an age where science fact frequently overtakes (超过) science fiction, the writers may find it difficult to keep ahead of scientific advances. Those who are clear-sighted to see how the ways are going, however, may provide a valuable lesson on how to deal with the problems which society will unpreventably face as it tries to master its new technology and come to terms with a continually changing view of the world.

A. is worse than that in the past

The world hash’t seen a pandemic(流行疾病)in 4 1 years,when the”Hong Kong”flu crossed the globe and killed about one million people worldwide.If H1N1 flu(甲型流感)reaches pandemic levels,what would happen next?
The outbreak of SARS in 2003 rang alarm bells as potential pandemics.Although it jumped the”animal-to·human”barrier,neither disease changed enough to enable human-to.Human infection.Strictly speaking,SARS did not become pandemics because it was too good at killing their hosts.For a pandemic,it needs to be able to maintain human-to.human contact without killing its host off.
”H1N1 flu is already a man-to-man disease,which makes it much more difficult to manage.
And H1N1 flu appears much more infectious than SARS.
But the WHO warns,it cannot say whether or not it will indeed cause a pandemic.According to experts,here’s what the world might see if there is another pandemic,based on past experience.
The disease would skip from city to city over an 18-to-24 month period,infecting more than a third of the population.World health Organization officials believe as many as 1.5 billion people around the globe would seek medical care and nearly 30 million would seek hospitalization.Based on the last pandemic and current world population,as many as 7 million people could die.Hospitals will become overcrowded;schools will close;businesses will close;airports will be empty.Business will become very bad,as people avoid as much social contact as possible.
Health facilities will become overrun with patients and there would be less-than-adequate staffing,as medical health professionals fall ill themselves and that would result in higher deaths.
The very young and very old will likely be the most susceptible(易受感染的)to the illness.Experts warn,much is still unknown about the current H1N1 flu virus and its severity and it is too early to say whether it will lead to a pandemic.Right now,the focus is on finding answers and controlling the spread.
【小题1】How many kinds of disease is mentioned in the passage?
A.Two | B.Three | C.Four | D.Five |
A.SARS didn’t change enough to enable sustained(持续的)human-to—human infection. |
B.SARS was very good at killing its carriers. |
C.A man with H1N1 flu can not infect another man easily. |
D.Comparing SARS and H 1N 1 flu,SARS is not as infectious. |
A.It spread all around the globe and killed lots of people. |
B.It killed about millions of people. |
C.It killed about one million people in Hong Kong. |
D.Not the old but the young were susceptible to it and got killed. |
A.The H1N1 flu will skip from city to city over an 18一to一24 month period. |
B.Doctors and nurses will fall ill themselves,which will result in many more deaths. |
C.Every country is taking measures to stop the H1N1 flu from leading to a pandemic. |
D.The WHO and experts have known much about the current H1N1 flu virus. |
