　　Passage 3

　　工作生活类议论文。文章阐述了公司如果想在世界市场上具有竞争力，多样化是必要的。

　　It’s very interesting to note where the debate about diversity (多样化) is taking place. It is taking place primarily in political circles. Here at the College Fund, we have a lot of contact with top corporate (公司的) leaders; none of them is talking about getting rid of those instruments that produce diversity. In fact, they say that if their companies are to compete in the global village and in the global market place, diversity is an imperative. They also say that the need for talented, skilled Americans means we have to expend the pool of potential employees. And in looking at where birth rates are growing and at where the population is shifting, corporate America understands that expanding the pool means promoting policies that help provide skills to more minorities, more women and more immigrants. Corporate leaders know that if that doesn’t occur in our society, they will not have the engineers, the scientists, the lawyers, or the business managers they will need。

　　Likewise, I don’t hear people in the academy saying, “Let’s go backward. Let’s go back to the good old days, when we had a meritocracy (不拘一格降人才)” (witch was never true we never had a meritocracy, although we’ve come closer to it in the last 30 years。) I recently visited a great little college in New York where the campus has doubled its minority population in the last six years. I talked with an African American who has been a professor there for a long time, and she remembers that when she first joined the community, there were fewer than a handful of minorities on campus. Now, all of us feel the university is better because of the diversity. So where we hear this debate is primarily in political circles and in the media not in corporate board rooms or on collage campuses。

　　科技类说明文

　　Passage 1

　　科技类说明文。Priscilla Ouclinda 的具有“能源效率”特点的房子结果变成了其一家生病的“罪魁祸首”。专家最后将其定家生病的原因归结到了室内甲醛气体严重超标。从中我们可以看到，正是Ouclinda 一家人在建造自己的房子时过多地考虑到节约能源，反而忽略了室内空气污染。他们的房子是密封的，同时安装有双层玻璃……这一切均不利用房屋换气通风。这个问题在当今美国社会里非常普遍，作者与过去在能源便宜时期房屋的建造状况相比，得出室内空气污染是一定要受重视的。
