11、sPart 1. Read the following account of current changes in university education and mark the statements following the passage as being T( true ) or F ( false) according to the information you get from the text:Passage 1.Changes in university educationUniversities around the world are undergoing major
12、 changes. Government policies now require universities to become more cost efficient, entrepreneurial and less dependent on public funding. There are three views about the outcome of these processes. The first view is that universities are now much more efficient. The second is that although univers
13、ities need to improve efficiency, the changes have been unnecessarily far-reaching and severe. The third view is that the changes have wreaked havoc in several fundamental areas of university activity such as the curriculum, teaching, researchand administration. Here we will examine the impact of ch
14、anges on the lecturing staff.Although most university staff has had to deal with the effects of educational changes, academic staff has borne the greatest burden. In addition, they have had to adjust to variations in salary levels, working conditions and the measurement of teaching perfor mance. Thi
15、s latter issue is clearly set out in a statement by a US university president, “If it moves, we measure it”. It is this move to measurement in academia that has provoked controversy in universities.Traditionally the main, and often only, qualif ication for teaching has been a Ph. D. in the academics
16、 specialized field, even if the specialist had few teaching skills. Now, a professional teaching qualification is an essential requirement when academics apply for promotion or tenure. In addition, today the academic must show evidence of teaching ability. In earlier times, whilst there was no forma
17、l assessment of the effectiveness of teaching, primitive informal assessments did exist. Today, with the introduction of commercialization processes into universities, the student has been re-named “the customer”. Because the student/customer is paying for an education, she or he has the right to ma
18、ke a judgment about the “product” being offered. Now student assessments of the lecturers performance are based upon anonymous questionnaires, administered by staff development departments of universities.Senior university managers and the people who administer the assessment measures in universitie
19、s believe in the objectivity, reliability, validity and usefulness of the measurement procedures. Lecturers are more critical saying that four factors undermine the reliability of student responses.First, students must complete a four or five page questionnaire six or more times a year and some stud
20、ents become more cynical with each questionnaire. Second, the questionnaires are usually completed late in the semester when many student essays/assignments are due. Thus hasty, sometimes ill-considered assessments are made.Third, one subject may be a first year compulsory course with 200 or more st
21、udents, whilst another is taken by only ten students, all of whom have chosen the course because it is of interest to them. Such variations undermine the principle of reliability of measurement techniques.Fourth, it is well established in organizational studies that whenever performance measures are
22、 introduced an improvement is recorded. One reason for this is that the person being measured is able to manipulate the account of the performance. Academics have been known to introduce strategies such as inflating the marking of student papers, or introducing a lengthy lecture/tutorial break for c
23、offee (paid for by the lecturer). These strategies can produce a positive, but false, image of the lecturers teaching ability.Mark the following statements as T (true) or F (false) according to the information in the text.21. There are pressures on universities to become less entrepreneurial.22. Uni
24、versity changes are affecting the curriculum, teaching, research and administration.23. The changes have led to commercialization within universities.24. Today students are treated more like customers.25. If it moves, we measure it was meant to suggest that promotion to senior management positions i
25、n universities are open only to staff in the Mathematics departments.26. University lecturers have always had to have teaching qualifications.27. Prior to the current changes, the teaching of university lecturers was not subjected to forms of assessment.28. Senior university managers have faith in t
26、he objectivity and reliability of current assessment techniques.29. Senior university managers believe that because the assessment measures are valid they are useful.30. Organizational studies cast no doubt on the effectiveness of assessment measures.Part 2. Read passage 3 and answer questions 31-40
27、.Passage 2Medical InsuranceThe State Council plans to expand the nations pilot program involving the reform of Chinas free medical-care system to some 80 cities this year. The extension is a follow=up to previous work in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province, and Jiujiang, Jiangxi Province, launched early las
28、t year.China established a free medical care system in 1951. State owned institutions and industrial factories were entitled to open welfare accounts to help cover medical expenses of their employees.Medical expenditure has increased. In 1994, medical expenditures for workers nation-wide amounted to
29、 55.8 billion Yuan. IN 1978 the cost was 2.7 billion Y uan.The experiments have at tempted to create a new medical insurance system that integrates overall medical funds with personal accounts. Under the new system institutional and industrial employees pay 1 percent of their monthly salary to set u
30、p a personal account for medical expenses. Both capital and interest are set aside for the individual.Units are required to contribute a sum equivalent to about 10 percent of their entire staffs salaries, about 50 percent or more of which goes into personal accounts for each staff member. The remain
31、der of the money goes to establish an overall medical fund for cases of serious illness. Medical costs will be subtracted first from employees personal accounts. But for serious ailments or costly medical treatment, the overall medical-insurance fund will cover the majority of the cost.21 F 22 T 23
32、T 24 T 25 F 26 F 27 F 28 T 29 T 30 FComplete the summary by filling in the missing information according to the information from the passage.Because medical care _(31) have increased from 2.7 billion Yuan in 1978 to _(32) in 1994, the medical care system in China, established in 1951, is being restr
33、uctured. A pilot scheme tried out in two cities, is now being expanded to _(33) cities. The new scheme is funded from money paid by institutional and industrial _(34) and by _(35). The funding is distributed in two streams. First, each staff member has their own _(36) medical account. This account p
34、ays for initial medical costs. The second stream is the overall medical fund which covers more _(37) illnesses needing more costly treatments. Funding for the first stream is supplied from the employees contributions and from 50 percent of the units contributions. For cases of _(38) illness,the _(39) medical fund is financed from the remaining 50 percent of the units” _(40).
