????Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Apopularly-held view has it that

????Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:

Apopularly-held view has it that “opportunity to learn” is the key to educational success -i.e.the more time children spend on a subject, the better they do at it. According to the recent study there seems little correlation between time spent on a subject and performance of pupils in tests. Young Austrians spend exceptionally long hours on math and science lessons; for them it pays off in higher test scores. But so do New Zealand&39;s teenagers and they do not do any better than, say Norwegians, who spend an unusually short time on lessons in both subjects. Next and of particular interest to cash-strapped governments there appears to be little evidence to support the argument, often heard from teachers&39; unions, that the main cause of educational under achievement is under funding. Low-spending countries such as South Korea and the Czech Republic are at the top. High-spenders such as America and Denmark do much worse. Obviously there are dozens of reasons other than spending why one country does well, another badly, but the success of the low–spending Czechs and Koreans does show that spending more on schools is not aprerequisite(前提) for improving standards.

Another article of faith among the teaching profession that children are bound to do better in small classes is also being undermined by educational research. The study found that France, America and Britain, where children are usually taught in classes of twenty-odd, do significant1y worse than East Asian countries where almost twice as many pupils are crammed into each class. Again, there may be social reason why some countries can cope better with large classes than others. All the same, the comparis on refutes the argument that larger is necessarily worse, Further, the study even cast some doubt over the cultural explanation for the greater success o fEast Asia: that there is some hard-to-define Asian culture, connected with parental authority and a strong social value on education, which makes children more eager to learn and easier to teach. Those who make this argument say it would of course be impossible to replicate such oriental magic in the West.

Yet the results of the study suggest that this is, to put it mildly, exaggerated. If “culture” makes English children so poor at math, then why have they done so well at science (not far behind the Japanese and South Koreans)?Any why do English pupils do well at science and badly at math, while in France it is the other way around ?A less mystical, more mundane explanation suggests it self English school: teach science well and math badly; French schools teach math better than science; East Asia schools teach both subjects well.

The passage is mainly concerned with ___.??

??A.establishing a relationship between culture and education

B.exposing educational myths

C.introduction educational philosophies

D.comparing education philosophies

All of the following are common-held beliefs about education EXCEPT___.

A.time spent on a subject correlates with academic success

B.educational achievements correlate with the money spent

C.large classes contribute to poor educational achievement

D.culture is not a deciding factor in school performance

Which of the following statements is supported by the passage?

A.Austrian teenagers do better than New Zealands teenagers

B.Low-spending will lead to good school performance.

C.Students in large classes will do better than students in small class.

D.Asian culture makes students eager to learn and easy to teach.

The fact that English pupils do well at science and badly at math while in France it is the other way around is attributable to ___.A.cultural values

B.teaching methods

C.class size

D.money spent

Which of the following countries does worse in science?A.Japan.

Section B – TWO questions ONLY to be attemptedThe finance division of GoSlo Motor Corporat

Section B – TWO questions ONLY to be attempted

The finance division of GoSlo Motor Corporation has made a number of loans to customers with a current pool value of $200 million. The loans have an average term to maturity of four years. The loans generate a steady income to the business of 10·5% per annum. The company will use 95% of the loan’s pool as collateral for a collateralised loan obligation structured as follows:

– 80% of the collateral value to support a tranche of A-rated floating rate loan notes offering investors LIBOR plus 140 basis points.

– 10% of the collateral value to support a tranche of B-rated fixed rate loan notes offering investors 11%.

– 10% of the collateral value to support a tranche as subordinated certificates (unrated).

In order to minimise interest rate risk, the company has decided to enter into a fixed for variable rate swap on the A-rated floating rate notes exchanging LIBOR for 8·5%.

Service charges of $240,000 per annum will be charged for administering the income receivable from the loans.

You may ignore prepayment risk.

Required:

(a) Calculate the expected returns of the investments in each of the three tranches described above. Estimate the sensitivity of the subordinated certificates to a reduction of 1% in the returns generated by the pool. (10 marks)

(b) Explain the purpose and the methods of credit enhancement that can be employed on a securitisation such as this scheme. (4 marks)

(c) Discuss the risks inherent to the investors in a scheme such as this. (6 marks)

The official policy, however, is still evolving.Health and environmental (38) have long urged U.S.government agencies to (39) the use of some of the 11 chemicals the report cites and called for more studies on their long-term effects.In 2001, for example, the Environmental Protection Agency(40)the type and amount of lead that could be present in paint and soil in homes and child-care (41), after concerns were raised about lead poisoning.The agency is now (42)the toxic effects of some of the chemicals in the latest report.

But the threshold for regulation is high.Because children"s brain and behavioral disorders, like hyperactivity and lower grades, can also be linked to social and genetic factors, it"s tough to pin them on exposure to specific chemicals with solid (43)evidence, which is what the EPA requires.Even the Harvard study did not prove a direct(44)but noted strong associations between exposure and risk of behavioral issues.

Questions 11 to I5 are based on the following passage:Over the years, college students hav

Questions 11 to I5 are based on the following passage:

Over the years, college students have stood together for what they believe in, from civil rights to anti-war policies to the more recent protests against the unequal distribution of wealth. But nowhere in history have students banned (禁 止)bottled water. Until now.

The bottled water ban, which Parted on just a few campuses, has now spread nationwide to more than 20 universities. The colleges have cither completely banned the use of plastic bottles altogether, or some have taken a more limited approach with partial bans.

Many people believe that producing and bottled water wastes money and harms the environment. They say that bottled water is unnecessary because public water supplies in the U.S. arc among the best in the world. Water fountains and reusable bottles with easy access (获取)to filling stations are a better choice.

An organization called Ban the Bottle raises awareness about the economic and environmental costs of using plastic bottles. The group claims that eight glasses of water a day costs each person 49 cents annually, while drinking from plastic containers costs $I,400 per year. Plastic bottles contain antimony—a chemical that in low doses causes depression, but in large doses can even lead to death.

The controversy over bottled or tap is not limited to the students and college administrations. The makers of bottled water see the movement as a threat. (80) They argue that plastic bottles make UP a small portion of the nation ’s total waste. It&39;s unfair to single out (单独挑出)their product when so many other items are packaged in plastic containers. Plus, water is a healthy choice compared to some sodas and juices that arc also sold at school.

Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?

A.Many universities ban or restrict the sale of bottled water.

B.Many states ban or restrict the sale of bottled water.

C.The bottled water industry is concerned about its decreasing sales.

D.Many people are opposed to the bottled water ban.

The word controversy in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to _____.A.choice

B.control

C.argument

D.statement

According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A.All the universities have banned the sale of bottled water.

B.Plastic bottles may do harm to peopled health.

C.The purchase of soft drinks will increase.

D.Bottled is cheap and environment-friendly.

According to Ban the Bottle, drinking bottled water costs _____ dollars per year.A.8

B.20

C.49

D.1400

What does the bottled water industry use in its own defense?A.Bottled water is much leaner than tap water.

B.Students should have freedom of choice.

C.The bottles are made in a more environment-friendly way.

D.Water is healthier than some sodas and juices.
