Passage FiveQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.An increasing number of British students are looking to the US when it comes to choosing a college,as a result of skyrocketing (暴涨的)tuition at their own universities.Lauren Welch,director of the Fulbright Commission,said that over 4,000 students packed a recent recruitment (招生)fair the organization held in London for American universities.Students wanting to apply to US universities can take the SAT common entrances test in the UK- and the College Board,which runs the test,reported a 30 percent increase in such UK candidates.Tuition in the UK is at an all-time high of £ 9,000 per year. That’s still a bargain compared to most top public and private schools in the US. But to a growing number of students, if they are going to go into debt for a degree, they might prefer doing it at an American university which offers a more different selection of majors and classes.Some US schools are recruiting more international students to balance budgets. Less well-off British families are increasingly able to send their children to an American university. Jeff Neal,a spokesman for Harvard,said students from low-income families “will likely pay no more to go to Harvard than to a UK university”.People are worried that the generous financial aid packages US universities are offering foreign students could spark a backlash (强烈反应)in the US,according to a BBC report.

Passage OneQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage. A boat rocks gently in the warm,clear water off the coast of Lizard Island. At night, researchers on board the boat lower into the ocean three large iron traps with raw chicken inside. Video cameras are attached to the traps. The researchers watch and take note of how many nautiluses (鹦鹉螺),attracted to the meat,swim past the traps overnight: In the morning,the team palls the traps back onto the boat. They measure,tag and photograph captured nautiluses before releasing them. Scientist Peter Ward, of the University of Washington, is leading the study, “We need to know how many nautiluses there are,” he said.Why does the number or creatures matter? Information collected around the world by Ward and Other scientists will help to show if the nautilus is threatened and if the animal should be listed as an endangered species.Nautiluses have survived for million years. But some scientists fear that the animals may be in danger of disappearing. Humans have been killing the animal for its unique shell. The inside of the shell is pearl-colored (珍珠色的)and forms a perfect shape. It is used to make decorations and jewelry. A report showed that the annual number of nautilus-shell products was alarmingly high. So Ward came up with a plan to study and count nautiluses. Four more seagoing research trips are expected to take place in the months ahead. There is much to learn. “We’re really at the tip of the iceberg (冰山),”De Angelis,of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, says.36.
