There was a handful of common clay in the river bank. But it had 36 thoughts of its own value, and wonderful dreams of the great place it was to 37 in the world when the time came for its virtues to be 38 .
One day the clay was carried far away in a cart 39 a stony road. But it was not 40 , for it said to itself: “This is necessary. The path to glory is always 41 . Now I am on my way to play a great part in the world.”
But the hard journey was 42 , compared with the suffering after it. The clay was put into a container and mixed and beaten. It seemed almost 43 . But there was 44 in the thought that something very noble was 45 coming out of all this trouble. The clay felt sure that, if it could only wait long enough, a wonderful reward was 46 for it.
Then it was put upon a 47 turning wheel, and turned around until it seemed as if it must fly into a thousand pieces. A strange power pressed and molded it, and through all the dizziness and pain it felt that it was taking a new 48 .
Then an unknown hand put it into an oven, and 49 fires were burning about it. But the clay held itself together, in the confidence of a great future.
At last the baking was finished. The clay was 50 upon a board，in the
cool air. The suffering was passed. The reward was at hand.
Then the clay saw the reward of all its 51 and pain, – a common flower-pot, straight and ugly. It felt that it was not 52 for a king’s house, nor for a palace of art. Many days it passed in 53 .
But presently it was set in a greenhouse, where the sunlight fell warm upon it, and day by day as it waited, something was changing within it – a new hope. Still it was 54 , not knowing what the new hope meant.
But one day the clay was carried into a great church. All the people looked towards it because it carried a royal lily as white as snow, which was 55 in its heart. Now it knew what the hope is!
Then the clay was content, because, though an earthen pot, it held so great a treasure.

How do you choose between similar postgraduate courses?
After graduating from an undergraduate(本科) course, you could move on to postgraduate study. This might be the ideal investment in reaching the career you want – either strengthening your knowledge and skills, or taking on a new direction. How do you choose the right postgraduate course?
First, decide on the following:
■ subject matter
■ length
■ if it’s taught or research-based
■ if it’s full- or part-time
If you’re clear about those decisions, and you’ve checked the entry requirements, the differences between similar courses may be in the four areas below.
Which course is most helpful to your career aspirations?
■ What are the employment levels of previous postgraduates?
■ Which course has the strongest connections to employers?
■ What is the reputation of the course among employers?
How is the course organized and assessed?
■ How is the course divided?
■ Do you need to pass all parts of it equally?
■ Is the course exam-based, continually assessed, or both?
Who are the tutors and are they experts in areas you want to learn about?
■ How well recognised are the academic staff in their fields?
■ How much research have they published? Are their theories significant?
■ Use university open days to research your postgraduate options. They’re a great opportunity to meet and question academic staff directly.
How is the course ranked within league tables?
■ League tables rate courses mostly within broad subject bands including undergraduate degrees and postgraduate qualifications – for example, you can search to see who is best for architecture.
■ Make sure you check the sources of league tables as they can be prejudiced. The Guardian, The Times and The Complete University Guide are some of the more reasonable places to look.
56. Which is NOT recommended by the author to consider in choosing the right course?
A. your personal conditions
B. the popularity of the course itself
C. the structure of the course
D. the rankings of the academic staff
57. What is an undergraduate student encouraged to do?
A. Take on a different course for postgraduate study.
B. Choose a course with lower difficulty in its assessment.
C. Go to the university for a face-to-face investigation before decision.
D. Consult newspapers of all levels for unprejudiced information.
B
The splendid a urora light displays that appear in Earth’s atmosphere around the north and south magnetic(磁的) poles were once mysterious phenomena. Now, scientists have data from satellites and ground-based observations from which we know that the aurora brilliance is a massive electrical discharge similar to that occurring in a neon sign.
To understand the cause of auroras, first picture the Earth enclosed by its magnetosphere(磁层), a huge region created by the Earth’s magnetic field. Outside the magnetosphere, rushing toward the earth is the solar wind, a speedily moving body of ionized(离子化的) gases with its own magnetic field. Charged particles(粒子) in this solar wind speed earthward along the solar wind’s magnetic lines of force. The Earth’s magnetosphere is a barrier to the solar winds, and forces the charged particles of the solar wind to flow around the magnetosphere itself. But in the polar regions, the magnetic lines of force of the Earth and of the solar wind gather together. Here many of the solar wind’s charged particles break through the magnetosphere and enter Earth’s magnetic field. They then rush back and forth between the Earth’s magnetic poles very rapidly and ionize and excite the atoms of the upper atmosphere of the Earth, causing them to produce aurora radiations of visible light.
The colors of an aurora depend on the atoms producing them. The leading greenish-white light comes from low energy excitation of oxygen atoms. During huge magnetic storms oxygen atoms also undergo high energy excitation and produce pink light. Excited nitrogen(氮) atoms contribute bands of color varying from blue to violet. Viewed from outer space, auroras can be seen as dimly shining belts wrapped around each of the Earth’s magnetic poles. Each aurora hangs like a curtain of light stretching over the polar regions and into the higher latitudes. When the
solar flares(闪光) that result in magnetic storms and aurora activity are very strong, aurora displays may extend as far as the southern regions of the United States.
58. What is it that directly gives off aurora light?
A. the Earth’s magnetic field
B. the solar wind’s magnetic field
C. the Earth’s ionized particles
D. the solar wind’s charged particles
59. What does the third paragraph mainly discuss?
A. The appearance of auroras around the Earth’s poles.
B. The periodic change in the display of auroras.
C. The factors that cause the variety of colors in auroras.
D. The covering area of auroras based on their colors.
60. What can we infer from the passage?
A. The magnetosphere increases the speed of particles from the solar wind.
B. The color of greenish-white appears least frequently in an aurora display.
C. Earth’s magnetic field contributes to the variety and difference of aurora’s colors.
D. The strength of the solar flares has a positive effect on the extending distance of aurora.
C
With these increased pressures and difficulty in ensuring a graduate
job, more people are turning to recruitment(招聘) agencies for help. Luke Harper wrote for the Independent warning students to be cautious when using graduate recruitment agencies in their job hunt. The article’s main argument against graduate recruitment agencies is that they are looking to sign people up to the agency and harvest data, without having any real intention to personally find them a job.
The fundamental problem with this approach is a basic misunderstanding of how the recruitment sector works. One of the more common ways is that recruitment agencies aim to find you a job to secure a fee from their clients. Recruitment agencies operate as a business, not a careers service and are not expected to find you a job while you wait around.
There is no denying that amongst the recruitment agencies, there are some CV(简历) hungry, cut and shut agencies that are uninterested in the candidates they have on their books. However, nowadays these are in the minority and don’t tend to last very long.
Paul Farrer, Chief Executive of a leading recruitment agency is worried that a few bad apples are ruining the reputation of what is an excellent sector. Farrer said “The trouble with such an imbalanced and misleading article is that some graduates may now be put off approaching recruitment agencies who may well be able to hel p them.”
Professionals in the industry are cautious of how some of the less
respectable agencies operate. Earnest recruiters believe that graduates should be aware that some of these agencies will take on graduates for all their details rather than helping them find a job, like Harper mentioned. To fight this, Farrar advises that “Graduates should have a simple checklist before approaching any agency. Has the agency taken the time to talk to me? Have they invited me to a face-to-face meeting? Have they guaranteed not to forward my CV to any employer without my permission? These three steps will safeguard every application.”
Farrer also pointed out that that is not the only safety net that graduates can rely on. He said “Graduates can also check to se e if the agencies are members of either APSCo or the REC, the two trade bodies they can make an official complaint to. The vast majority of recruitment agencies are professional organisations that help place thousands of graduates every year and poorly res earched articles help no one.”
61. The main purpose of this passage is _______________ graduate recruitment agencies.
A. to advise readers to be cautious of
B. to argue against some misjudgment against
C. to explain why there is a prejudice against
D. to seek the solutions to the problems caused by
62. Which of the following is right according to the passage?
A. Luke Harper holds the same idea about jobs with Paul Farrer.
B. Recruitment agencies actually do the same work as a careers service.
C. Job hunters’ detailed information is of value to recruitment agencies.
D. A member of APSCo or the REC will not cheat its clients.
63. What advice does Paul Farrer give graduates to avoid less respectable agencies?
A. Consulting professionals before giving their personal details to an agency.
B. Making a face-to-face investigation into an agency before approaching it.
C. Guaranteeing that the agency will not forward their CV to any employer.
D. Selecting some agencies that are monitored by official trade bodies.
64. What is the author’s attitude towards graduate recruitment agencies?
A. Neutral.
B. Positive.
C. Negative.
D. Not Clear.。
