Questions 36 to 45 are based on the following passage. It seems to be a law in the

technology industry that leading companies eventually lose theirpositions, often

quickly

and

phone

champion

Nokia,

one

of

Europe's

biggesttechnology

success stories, was no36, losing its market share in just a few years.

In 2007, Nokia accounted for more than 40% of mobile phone sales37But consumers'

preferences were already38toward touch-screen smartphones. With the introduction

of Apple'siPhone in the middle of that year, Nokia's market share39rapidly and

revenue

plunged.

By

theend

of

2013,

Nokia

had

sold

its

business

to

Microsoft.

What sealed Nokia's fate was a series of decisions made by Stephen Elop in his

position as CEO,which he40in October 2010. Each day that Elop spent in charge of

Nokia,

company's

marketvalue

him,

numbers,

worst

in

how

and

are

much

more

likely

than

their peers to drop out before graduation.

[ A] When Nijay Williams entered college last fall as a first

—

generation student

and Jamaican immigrant,he was academically unprepared for the rigors of higher

education.

Like

many

first

generationstudents,

he

enrolled

in

a

medium-sized

state

university

many

of

his

high

peers

were

alsoattending,

received

a

Pell

Grant,

and took out some small federal loans to cover other costs.

Given

the

high

price

of

room

and

board

and

the

closeness

of

the

school

to

his

family,

he chose tolive at home and worked between 30 and 40 hours a week while taking a

full class schedule.

[ B] What Nijay didn't realize about his school

—

Tennessee State University

—

was

its frighteningly lowgraduation rate: a mere 29 percent for its first-generation

students. At the end of his first year,Nijay lost his Pell Grant of over $$ 5,000

after

narrowly

missing

the

2.0

GPA

cut-off,

making

itimpossible

for

him

to

continue

paying for school.

[ C ]Nijay represents a large and growing group of Americans: first

Despite

despite its

percent. Located only a

few hours apart,

TheUniversity of Tennessee and Tennessee State are worth comparing. Tennessee

State's overallgraduation rate is a tiny 39 percent, but at least it has a smaller

gap between the outcomes forfirst

—

students and those of their peers.

[I]

Still,

the

University

of

Tennessee

deserves

credit

for

being

transparent.

Many

large institutionskeep this kind of data secret

—

or at least make it incredibly

difficult to find The University ofNorth Carolina at Chapel Hill, for instance,

admits

only

that

the

graduation

rate

for

its

pupils

is

lower

than the percentage of all students who graduate within fouryears (81 percent).

[J]

It

is

the

issue

many

education institutions are, under federal law, required to report

graduation rates, but thesereports typically only include Pell recipient numbers

—

not necessarily rates

fail

to

break

down

the

data,

too.

Imagine

how

itcan

be

with

of

to

navigatethis

kind

of information and then identify which schools are the best fit.

It

was

this

lack

that

prompted

the

Passage One

Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.

Saying

they

can

the

rising

prices

of

health

care,

some

of

the

most

influentialmedical groups in the nation are recommending that doctors weigh the

costs,

not

just

the

effectivenessof

treatments,

as

they

make

decisions

about

patient

shift,

little

noticed

outside

the

medical

establishment

but

already

controversial

inside

that

doctors

are

starting

to

redefine

their

roles,

from

being

concerned

exclusively

aboutindividual

patients

to

exerting

influence

on

how healthcare dollars are spent. In practical terms, the new guidelines being

developed could result in doctors choosing one drugover another for cost reasons

or even deciding that a particular treatment

—

at the end of life, forexample

—

is

too

expensive.

In

the

extreme,

some

critics

have

said

that

making

treatment

decisionsbased on cost is a form of rationing. Traditionally, guidelines have

heavily

the

ones

to

doctors

more

conscious

the

economic

consequences

of

their

decisions,

eventhough

there's no obligation to follow them. Medical society guidelines are also used by

insurancecomoanies to help determine reimbursement (

Passage Two

Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.

Economic

inequality

is

the

challenge

of

our

time,

President

Barack

Obama

declared in aspeech last month to the Center for American Progress. Inequality is

dangerous, he argued, not merelybecause it doesn't look good to have a large gap

between

the

rich

and

the

poor,

but

because

inequalityitself

destroys

upward

mobility,

making it harder for the poor to escape from poverty.

decreasing

mobility

pose

a

fundamental

threat

to

the

American

Dream,

he

said.

Obama

is only the most prominent public figure to declare inequality Public Enemy No. 1

and

thegreatest

threat

to

reducing

poverty

in

America.

A

number

of

prominent

economists

have

also

arguedthat

it's

harder

for

the

poor

to

climb

the

economic

ladder

today because the rungs (

横档

) in that ladderhave grown farther apart.

For

all

the

new

attention

devoted

to

the

1

percent,

a

new

damset

from

the

Equality

of

OpportunityProject

at

Harvard

and

Berkeley

suggests

that,

if

we

care

about

upward

mobility overall, we're vastlyexaggerating the dangers of the rich

—

poor gap.

Inequality itself is not a particularly strong predictor ofeconomic mobility, as

sociologist Scott Winship noted in a recent article based on his analysis of this

data.

So

what

factors,

at

the

community

level,

do

predict

if

poor

children

will

move

up

the

economicladder

as

adtdts?

what

explains,

for

instance,

why

the

Salt

Lake

City

metro area is one of the 100largest metropolitan areas most likely to lift the

fortunes of the poor and the Atlanta metro area is oneof the least likely?

Harvard economist Raj Cherty has pointed to economic and racial segregation,

community density,the size of a community's middle class, the quality of schools,

commtmity religiosity, and familystructure, which he calls the

correlate of upward mobility.

with

high

levels

of

two-parent

families

and

religiosity,

are

much

morelikely

to

see

poor children get ahead than communities like Atlanta, with high levels of racial

andeconomic

segregation.

Chetty

has

not

yet

issued

a

comprehensive

analysis

of

the

relative

predictive

power

of

each

of

thesefactors.

Based

on

my

analyses

of

the

data.

of the factors that Chetty has highlighted, the followingthree seem to be most

predictive of upward mobility in a given community:

1. Per-capita (

人均

) income growth

2. Prevalence of single mothers ( where correlation is strong, but negative)

3.

Per-capita

local

government

spending

In

other

words,

communities

with

high

levels

of

per-capita

income

growth,

high

percentages

oftwo-parent

families,

and

high

local

government

spending-which

may

stand

for

good

schools-are

themost

likely

to

help

poor

children relive Horatio Alger's rags- to-riches story.
