Giving away free activities.BHumanity has begun wrestling with the dangers of globalthreats such as climate change. But fewauthorities are planning for catastrophic solar storms-huge eruptions of massand energy from the sun that destroy Earths magnetic field. In a recent paper,two Harvard University scientists estimate the potential economic damage fromsuch an event will increase in the future and could equal the current U.S.GDP-about $20 trillion-150years from now.This kind of storm hashappened before. The so-called Carrington Event in 1859, the most intensemagnetic storm ever recorded on Earth, caused auroras (極光）in the atmosphere and even delivered electric shocks totelegraph operators. But a Carrington-scale storm today would cause far moreharm because society now depends so heavily on electrical power grids,communications satellites and GPS.In an effort to quantify thatthreat, astrophysicists Abraham Loeb and Manasvi Lingam of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics developed a mathematical model that assumessocietys vulnerability (脆弱性）to solar stormswill grow with technological advances. Under this model, during the next 50yearsthepotential for economic damage will depend primarily on the rising odds of astrong solar storm over time. Beyond 50 years our vulnerability will increasedramatically with technological progress until the latter levels off.Some scientists question themodelspredictions. “Estimating the economic impact is challenging now, let alone inover a century,” says Edward Oughton, a research associate at the University ofCambridges Center for Risk Studies. Yet he warns that uncertainty should notstop us from practical preparations, such as making power grids stronger andimproving early-warning systems.Loeb and Lingam think up amuch wider strategy: a $100-billion magnetic deflector shield (導(dǎo)流板), positioned between Earth and the sun. This ideaseems “pretty preposterous,” however, given that solar particles arrive atEarth from all directions, says Daniel Baker, director of the Laboratory forAtmospheric and Space Physics at the University of Colorado Boulder.A better understanding of“space weather”-the changing condition in Earths outer space environment,including solar radiation and particles-could help find the best strategies forconfronting a dangerous solar storm, says Stracey Worman, a senior analyst atconsulting firm Abt Associates. “This is a challenging but important question,”Worman says, “that we need more eyes on.”58. According toEdward Oughton, which of the following about solar storms is right?A. They will become much stronger in 150 years.B. Technology makes their potential damage grow.C. Its difficult to predict their possible economicdamage.D. Space weather forecast can effectively help dealwith them.59.The underlined word “preposterous” inParagraph 5 means .A. unreasonable B. practical C.innovative D.inflexible60. The author writesthe passage mainly to .A. report the damage of solar stormsB. remind people to guard against solar stormsC. introduce the characteristics of solar stormsD. analyze the possible cause of solar storms CThere are plenty of goodreasons for a young person to choose to go to university: intellectual growth,career opportunities, having fun. Around half of school-leavers in the richworld now do so, and the share is rising in poorer countries, too.Governments are keen on highereducation, seeing it as a means to increase social mobility and economicgrowth. But they tend to overestimate the benefits and ignore the costs ofexpanding university education. Often, public money just feeds the arms race forqualifications.As more young people seekdegrees, the returns both to them and to governments are lower. Employersdemand degrees for jobs that never required them in the past and havenot become more demanding since. In a desperate attempt to stand out, studentsare studying even longer, and delaying work, to obtain masters degrees.Spending on universities isusually justified by the “graduate premium” the increase in earnings thatgraduates enjoy over non-graduates. These individual gains, the thinking goes,add up to an economic increase for society as a whole. But the graduate premiumis a flawed unit of calculating. Part of the usefulness of a degree is that itgives a graduate jobseeker an advantage at the expense of non-graduates. It isalso a signal to employers of general qualities, such as intelligence anddiligence, that someone already has in order to get intoa university. Some professions require qualifications. But a degree is notalways the best measure of the skills and knowledge needed for a job. Withdegrees so common, recruiters are using them as a simple way to evaluateapplicants. Non-graduates are thus increasingly locked out of nice work.In any case, the premiumcounts only the winners and not the losers. Across the rich world, a third ofuniversity students never graduate. It is the weakest students who are drawn inas higher education expands and who are most likely to drop out. They pay feesand sacrifice earnings to study, but see little increase in their futureincomes. When dropouts are included, the expected financial return to startinga degree for the weakest students shrinks to almost nothing. Manyschool-leavers are being misled about the probable value of university.Governments need to offer theyoung a wider range of options after school. They should start by rethinkingtheir own hiring practices. Most insist on degrees for public-sector jobs thatused to be done by non-graduates, including nursing, primary-school teachingand many civil-service posts. Instead they should seek other ways fornon-graduates to prove they have the right skills and to get more on-the-jobtraining.School-leavers should be givena wider variety of ways to gain job skills and to demonstrate their employability inthe private sector. If school qualifications were made more strict, employerswould be more likely to trustthem as signals of ability, and less insistent on degrees. Universities shouldgrant credits to dropouts for the parts of courses they havecompleted. They could also open their exams to anyone who wants to take them,and award degrees to those who succeed.Such measures would be moreefficient at developing the skills that increase productivity and should savepublic money. To promote social mobility, governments would do better to directfunds to early-school education and to helping students who would benefit fromuniversity but cannot afford it. Young people, both rich and poor, areill-served by the arms race in academic qualifications, in which each must study longer because thatis what all the rest are doing. It is time to disarm.61. How does theauthor consider higher education?A. It5s a good way to raise students5social status.B. It definitely benefits the development of economy.C. It will amply reward individuals and governments.D. Its a waste of money for some students andtaxpayers.62. What does theunderlined word “them” in paragraph 3 refer to?A. Degrees. B. Returns. C. Employers. D. Jobs63. What is theauthors preferred solution to the issue?A. To decrease university drop-out rates.B. To improve the teaching qualities of universities.C. To open more public-sector jobs to non-graduates.D. To provide school-leavers with proper job training.64. What is the besttitle for the passage?A. Measures to boost social mobilityB. Time to end the academic arms raceC. Difficulty in solving unemploymentD. Necessity of changing hiring practices DRecently, I was made keenlyaware of the different Englishes I do use. I was giving a talk to many people,the same talk I had already given to half a dozen other groups.
