Passage Two

Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.

When next year’s crop of high-school graduates arrive at Oxford University in the fall of 2009, they’ll be joined by a new face; Andrew Hamilton, the 55-year-old provost (教务长) of Yale, who’ll become Oxford’s vice-chancellor—a position equivalent to university president in America.

Hamilton isn’t the only educator crossing the Atlantic. Schools inFrance,Egypt,Singapore, etc, have also recently made top-level hires from abroad. Higher education has become a big and competitive business nowadays, and like so many businesses, it’s gone global. Yet the talent flow isn’t universal. High-level personnel tend to head in only one direction: outward fromAmerica.

The chief reason is that American schools don’t tend to seriously consider looking abroad. For example, when the board of the University of Colorado searched for a new president, it wanted a leader familiar with the state government, a major source of the university’s budget. “We didn’t do any global consideration,” says Patricia Hayes, the board’s chair. The board ultimately picked Bruce Benson, a 69-year-old Colorado businessman and political activist (活动家) who is likely to do well in the main task of modern university presidents: fund-raising. Fund-raising is a distinctively American thing, sinceU.S.schools rely heavily on donations. The fund-raising ability is largely a product of experience and necessity.

Many European universities, meanwhile, are still mostly dependent on government funding. But government support has failed to keep pace with rising student number. The decline in government support has made funding-raising an increasing necessary ability among administrators and has hiring committees hungry for Americans.

In the past few years, prominent schools around the world have joined the trend. In 2003, whenCambridgeUniversityappointed Alison Richard, another former Yale provost, as its vice-chancellor, the university publicly stressed that in her previous job she had overseen “a major strengthening of Yale’s financial position.”

Of course, fund-raising isn’t the only skill outsiders offer. The globalization of education means more universities will be seeking heads with international experience of some kind of promote international programs and attract a global student body. Foreigners can offer a fresh perspective on established practices.

62. What is the current trend in higher education discussed in the passage?

A. Institutions worldwide are hiring administrators from theU.S.

B. A lot of political activists are being recruited as administrators.

C. American universities are enrolling more international students.

D. University presidents are paying more attention to funding-raising.

高考成绩公布之后，参加2017年高考的考生们紧锣密鼓地填报了他们的志愿，然而，我们并不知道的是，在全国不少地方，很多优秀考生填报高考志愿的自由，却被他们的学校强行剥夺了!这样的情况，在Y省多个中学——特别是偏远地区的中学，却并不罕见。W老师也向耿直哥讲述了另一个案例：当地另一所中学的一名考生，在拒绝按照学校要求报考北京大学医学部后，竟在校长办公室遭到副校长、教务长、班主任等人的“软禁”，被轮番“劝说”这名学生长达6小时，然后次日又再次被叫到校长办公室“做工作”…最终，在距离报考系统关闭仅剩1小时的时候，这名学生无奈在校领导的“监视”下填报了北大医学部，才获得人身自由。好在，这名考生的父亲很快赶到了学校，在与校领导爆发了正面冲突后，才在报考系统关闭前5分钟为孩子讨来了“报考自己心仪大学的自由”。——摘自环球时报《这个中国高考中极其丑恶的问题，今天必须曝光给大家!》对于各省份参加高考的学生来说，填报志愿或许是头等大事。但是近日多所高校却被爆出在一些地方，学校诱劝高分学生修改志愿，直接强迫他们填报非意向志愿的事情，还有发生，有学校甚至还掌握了学生填报志愿系统的密码。对此，你怎么看？
