考研英语（一）第三部分新题型：排序、总结、句子匹配（江南博哥）第一节 排序材料题根据下面资料，回答1-5题AIs there still a place for the tiddlers? "That's an explicit yes," says Bob Shea of NACUBO, "do there need to be mergers and acquisitions? That's an unequivocal yes as well." Many small colleges serve niche markets, including a large faith-based one. "Many students wouldn't go to college at all or would be lost in a large one," says Ms. Brown.BPart of the problem, at least for small liberal arts institutions, is that parents and would-be students are questioning the value of the liberal arts. They want a solid return, in the form of a well-paying job, for their four-year investment. There are still an awful lot of small places：about 40% of degree-granting colleges have fewer than 1,000 students. But enrolment at these institutions has fallen by more than 5% since 2010, while the student population has increased overall.CSome tiny colleges rely on donations to save the day. Alumni are concerned about the value of their own degree if the college closes, but donors can grow weary. Marlboro, meanwhile, is using its endowment to offer scholarships to one student from each state in an effort to expand its usual pool from New England and to open up new student pipelines. It saw success straight away. It increased its student population by 6% this academic year, after years of falling enrolment.DVisitors stand out at Marlboro College's pastoral campus in the woods of Vermont, but not because they are special or even unexpected. With 190 enrolled students and just a few dozen faculty and staff, everyone knows everyone. The student-faculty ratio is five to one, about the lowest in the country. The college administration has worked hard to stay small：the student population has rarely topped 350. But in the years since its founding after the Second World War, Marlboro has often skirted financial ruin. In 1993 it had only a few payrolls left in the bank. It was rescued by a foundation. Today it is looking for ways to save itself and already seeing some success.ETo attract students, some colleges are reducing their sticker price, but this is not sustainable for colleges without healthy endowments. According to the National Association of College and University Business Officers (NACUBO), 49% of independent colleges and universities give discounts, up from 38% a decade ago.FAlice Brown, a former head of the Appalachian College Association, a network of tiny colleges in the Appalachian Mountains, thinks more must merge or close. The Berkeley College of Music (4,371 students) and the Boston Conservatory (730 students) merged in June. Small colleges often share accountants or laboratories already.GMarlboro is not alone in facing revenue and enrolment pressures. Burlington College(70 students), also in Vermont, shut its doors over the summer. Sweet Briar, a well-regarded women's college in Virginia, nearly closed to its 245 students last year. A last minute bout of fundraising by alumni saved it, for now. Moody's, a credit-ratings agency, said in 2015 that the pace of closures and mergers will accelerate and could triple from an average of five per year over the next few years. Dennis Gephardt of Moody's says closures and mergers will be concentrated among the smallest colleges.D4142434445C1 单选题 第（41）题选_A.AB.BC.CD.DE.EF.FG.G正确答案：G参考解析：第一段谈到了，万宝路学院的基本情况，重点介绍了万宝路学院一直努力保持学院规模小型化：学生人数很少超过350人。现在万宝路学院正面临危机，也在寻找自救的方法，并已经取得了一些成功，下文应该承接本段万宝路学院危机相关的内容，通读其他各个选项，可以发现选项G的第一句话“万宝路学院并不是唯一面临收入和招生压力的学校”可以衔接上文的内容。因此选项G正确。2 单选题 第（42）题选_A.AB.BC.CD.DE.EF.FG.G正确答案：B参考解析：上一段主要介绍了，万宝路不是唯一面临收入和招生压力的学校，然后列举了一些命运相同的小型学员，通过信用评级机构穆迪的观点，体现了这些小型学院的现状，这段主要介绍了许多学院的关闭和合并成为一种趋势，尤其是小规模的学院。Part of the problem, at least for small liberal arts institutions, is that parents and would-be students are questioning the value of the liberal arts 上面总结了类似小型学院的现状，B开头这句话，给出了这种现状的原因，与上文呼应。B正确。3 单选题 第（43）题选_A.AB.BC.CD.DE.EF.FG.G正确答案：E参考解析：上一段最后一句，提到了小型学员的入学率下降了，选项E开门见山地提出：为了吸引学生，一些院校降低了学费标价，并提供学费折扣。选项E与上文衔接紧密，故正确。4 单选题 第（44）题选_A.AB.BC.CD.DE.EF.FG.G正确答案：F参考解析：上一段提到小型学院开始采取降低学费的方式吸引学生。而剩余的备选项只有选项A和选项F，一个人物(Brown)出现在两个选项中，而选项F有对人物的具体介绍，应该出现在前面，因此，本题的正确答案是选项F，主要介绍布朗女士对小型学院生存和发展的看法。5 单选题 第（45）题选_A.AB.BC.CD.DE.EF.FG.G正确答案：A参考解析：最后只剩下选项A，本段一方面通过提问的方式来承接上文，提出小型学院还是有生存空间和发展前途的，另一方面与全文的最后一段呼应。最后一段进一步指出小型学院除了降低学费、寻求特殊市场外，还可以依靠捐款来挽救局面，也可以利用其捐赠基金为学生提供奖学金，以努力扩大生源，并开发新的学生资源。材料题根据以下材料，回答6-10题AAs in most cases of patent law it is not going to be that simple. One criticism is that being first-to-file gives big and sophisticated organizations, highly experienced at the difficult job of filing for patents, an advantage over smaller outfits that may be technically brilliant but not legally knowledgeable.Another problem is that first-to-file may make companies rush to put in for a patent before their invention is truly ready.
