4、 often. I probably wouldnt be telling you about this now. I look back now and think she must have been a rather extraordinary teacher to exercise such red-pen-restraint(限制).

5、 high school. If I was going to employ the word with such lavishness(华丽丰富的语言), she figured the least I could do was spell it right.

19、ggests. The global population is expected to reach 11 billion in 100 years. Asked to rate a list of 10 choices by experts, two fifths of people support building downwards, while a third rely on the seas. One in ten of the 2,000 surveyed tell the TV channel, which did the survey for the show Impossib

20、le Engineering that they expect we could be living on Mars. The human race will be forced to use the oceans and even dig underground to create more living space. According to the country-wide survey, four in ten Britons believe digging deep beneath the earths surface is the perfect solution to crowd

21、ed conditions over ground.

26、this oversupply is increasing. Already there have been more than enough teachers, engineers, physicists, aerospace experts, and other specialists. Yet colleges and graduate schools continue every year to turn out highly trained people to compete for jobs that arent there. The result is that graduate

27、s cannot enter the professions for which they were trained and must take temporary jobs which do not require a college degree. On the other hand, there is a great need for skilled workers of all sorts: carpenters, electricians, mechanics, plumbers, TV repairmen. These people have more work than they

28、 can deal with, and their annual incomes are often higher than those of college graduates. The old gap that white-collar workers make a better living than blue-collar workers no longer holds true.

31、and more and more graduates are overeducated for the kinds of jobs available to them. One result of this emphasis on a college education is that many people go to college who do not belong there. Of the sixty percent of high school graduates who enter college, half of them do not graduate with their

32、 class. Many of them drop out within the first year. Some struggle on for two or three years and then give up.1.Its implied but not stated in the passage that _ .A.many other countries are facing the same problemB.white-collar workers in the US used to make more money than blue-collar workersC.fewer students will prefer to go to college in the futureD.the law of supply and de
