[单项选择] Passage Five
Anyone who has ever attended a
university knows that the quality of lecturers varies greatly. A few are very
effective communicators, conveying the substance of their lectures clearly and
interestingly and inspiring students to want to know more about the subject.
Others produce dull lectures from which the students learn little and which are
likely to kill any interest they may have in the subject. Lecturing is a major
part of a university lecturer’s job and it would seem reasonable that
effectiveness in this task should be a major standard in assessing a lecturer
for promotion. However, it is very often the case that far more weight is given
to such factors as participation in research, number of publications and even
performance of administrative duties. My point of view is that a lecturer’s
lecturing should be regularly evaluat
A. there are great differences among the lecturers as to their quality of teaching
B. quite a lot of teachers can produce the results students desire
C. they must be inspired to learn
D. it is too dull to attend lectures

Passage One
Anyone who doubts that global financial markets control national economies need only look at the crisis facing the "tigers" of the Far East. Last year, the value of their currencies dropped rapidly, after investors decided that their economic policies were not strong enough; now the region is suffering slower growth, lower living standards and rising unemployment.
The situation in Asia shows how power has shifted from individual governments to the markets. In theory, governments are free to set their own economic policies; in practice, they must conform to a global economic model or risk being penalized by the markets.
Adjusting to this new "economic order" is proving difficult. In the developed world, and in particular the European Union, globalization is facing widespread public resistance. Critics complain that, without the protection of trade barriers, jobs are being lost to
A. doubt that global financial markets will control national economies
B. fail to follow a global economic model adequately
C. have set their own free economic policies
D. have their power interfere with the markets
