2012年1月自考英语(二)真题及答案

Time is dangerous.If you don’t control it，it will control you.If you don't make it work for you，it will work against you.You must become the master of time，not the servant.

Study hard and play hard is an old proverb，but it still makes sense.You have plenty of time for classes，study and play if you use your time properly.It is not how much time you allocate for study that counts but how much you learn when you do study.

The more time you waste，the easier it is to continue wasting time.Soon, doing nothing becomes a habit you can’t break.It becomes a drug.When this happens，you lose your feeling of accomplishment.

Passage Three 

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage. 

Since the beginning of the Internet era，it has been widely accepted that when you join an online company，whatever data you put into it belongs to you. 

That means you can sign up for one kind of email，import your contacts into that system，and if you later decide to switch to some other email service，you can export all your contacts from the first service into the new one.You can use Microsoft’s Hotmail，then move to Yahoo Mail，then to Google’s Gmail.Or you can have accounts on three services and keep all your contacts in each one. 

That’ the way things were — until Facebook appeared. Facebook took a different approach Until recently, everything you put into Facebook could not be exported anywhere. In effect, you didn’t own your data. Facebook did. 

Of course this is rubbish.The reality is that Facebook wants to make it difficult，if not impossible，for you to leave. 

Now that policy has sparked a fight between Google and Facebook.Google is angry because its users can，and often do，export their Gmail contact information into Facebook.But those people can’t bring Facebook information back into Gmail. 

Earlier this month Google declared it would block exports of its data to Facebook.In a shameless move，Facebook broke through Google’s roadblock so its users could keep pulling data from Google. 

Google said it was “disappointed’’ with Facebook’s behavior.It also created a warning screen to tell Gmail users that if they export their information to Facebook they won’t get it back. 

Basically，Facebook’s position with major IT companies is this：if you want access to all the information we’ve collected，strike a deal with us.Microsoft and Yahoo have done that，and now，like magic，they can export Facebook contact information into their systems，while Google still can’t. 

Remember the early days of the Net，when everything was going to be open and flee? That was great until people realized that their user data could be turned into gold.Now there are billions involved，and nobody is playing nice anymore. 

31.Before Facebook appeared，people_______.

The example of the young girl shows that______.

Passage Two

The Pew survey implies that_____.

The unemployment rate for college graduates last Year was_____.

The passage tells US that Bill Gates was_____.

The writer seems to agree that_____.

Passage One 

Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage. 

Lately it has become fashionable in America to question whether it is really worth it to go to college. According to a new survey released by the Pew Research Center, only 40 percent of Americans felt that colleges provided a good value for the cost. At the same time,86 percent of college graduates still felt the investment was a good one for them. 

There are a number of reasons for the widespread dissatisfaction with college. First, there are plenty of problems with higher education—poor quality and out-of-control costs are two of the biggest，Second， it is true that college is not for everyone.There are plenty of rewarding and important careers that do not require college.And due to the slow economy，there may in fact be more graduates than the current job market needs.Besides，anti-college sentiment is nothing new· Today，Microsoft’s Bill Gates or Apple’s Steve Jobs—both college dropouts-is often held up as evidence of why all that time sitting in class is better spent elsewhere. 

However，getting a college education is still a good idea.College graduates earn more，and are more likely to have a job in the first place.According to the statistics last year，the average weekly earnings for someone with some college but no degree were$712，compared to$1，038 for a college graduate.That is almost$17，000 over the course of a year and there is an even bigger divide for those with less education.Meanwhile，the unemployment rate was 9.2 percent for those with only some college and more than 10 percent for those with just a middle school degree，but it was 5.4 percent for college graduates.The economic gaps between college completers and those with less education are getting larger.
