UNICEF, United Nations Children’s Fund, will work with Family Health International. The new partnership will be established at first in Guyana, India, Malawi, Nigeria and Zambia. One of the goals is to improve care for babies infected with H. I. V. , the virus that

causes AIDS. Another is to prevent the spread of H. I. V. from mother to child. Activities will depend on the needs of each country. In some cases, anti-AIDS drugs will be provided to infected parents of children. Women and children living in rural communities will receive most of the services (Q18). Both UNICEF and Family Health International will expand their partnership into more countries in the future. Family Health International has been working on public health issues since 1971 (Q19).

听力原文： A new study from the University of New South Wales has discovered that during the working week, Australian fathers only spend an average of just over a minute each day alone with their children. Australian mothers, on the other hand, spend 3 hours a week purely looking after their children. On much greater disparity than in other countries, like America, Denmark, Italy and France (Q14) , working couples divide the child-care more evenly. According to the author of the study, traditionally, Australian fathers appear to like the fun aspects of parenthood, but stay away from daily child-care activities. So while they tend to be happy taking the kids to the park or to sports event, they are unlikely to participate regularly in feeding, bathing, or taking the kids to school (Q15). In short, Australian parenting is seen as a woman’s job and a man’s hobby. However, the last twenty years have seen the arrival of the so-called “new man”— the man who is willing to share the house-work and child-care (Q16). The “new man” has a picture of his children on his computer desktop at work; he never misses the kids’ school plays and he passes on a drink after work so that he can get home in time to read their bedtime story. This new study suggests that the new man feels a little more at home in Europe than in Australia (Q17). Indeed, a poll conducted in the UK indicated that almost 70% of British women thought that men were as good at raising children as women.

18． According to the passage, mothers in______ spend more time looking after children.

A．France B．America C．Denmark D．Australia

正确答案：D

解析：细节题。文中提到澳大利亚的母亲们每周用三个小时陪她们的孩子，和其他国家的母亲陪孩子的时间相比，远远超过她们。(Australian mothers，on the other hand，spend 3 hours a week peer looking after their children．A much greater disparity than in other countries, like America，Denmark, Italia and France．)因此，选项D正确。

19． Which of the following activities would Australian fathers traditionally participate in?

A．Feeding and playing with children.

B．Feeding and bathing children.

C．Taking children to the park and to school. D．Taking children to watch sports events.

正确答案：D

解析：细节题。文中提到澳洲的父亲们习惯上喜欢照看孩子中有意思的事(traditionally，Australian fathers appear to like the fun aspects of parenthood)。比如带孩子去公园或看一场运动比赛(they tend to be happy taking the children to the park or to the sports event)。因此，选项D正确。

20． According to the study, the “new Man” likes to ______. A．spend more time at work.

B．spend more time with children. C．spend time drinking after work. D．spend time on his computer.

正确答案：B

解析：推理题。文中提到澳洲的“新好男人”(new man)愿意分担家务并且照顾孩子(the man who is willing to share the housework and child-care.)因此，“新好男人”(new man)愿意花更多的时间和孩子在一起。因此，选项B正确。

21． It is suggested in the passage that the “new man” might be less susceptible in ______.

A．France. B．Britain. C．Australia. D．Demark.

正确答案：C 解析：推理题。文中提到此研究发现欧洲的男人们比起澳洲的男人们更喜欢呆在家里(This new study suggests that the new man feels a little more at home in Europe than in Australia.)因此，澳洲的男人们并不十分乐意呆在家里看孩子。

All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain 【B2】 to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, 【B3】 they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed 【B4】 certain signs, called letters, which could be 【B5】 to represent those sounds, and which could be 【B6】 Those sounds, whether spoken, 【B7】 written in letters, we call words. The power of words, then, lies in their 【B8】 —the things they bring up before our minds. Words become 【B9】 with meaning for us by experience; 【B10】 the longer we live, the more certain words 【B11】 to us the happy and sad events of our past; and the more we 【B12】 , the more the number of words that mean something to us 【B13】 Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal 【B14】 to our minds and emotions. This 【B15】 and telling use of words is what we call 【B16】 style. Above all, the real poet is a master of 【B17】 He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music, and which 【B18】 their position and association can 【B19】 men to tears.

PART V READING COMPREHENSION (25 MIN)Directions: In this section there are four passages followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that you think is the best answer.

What is the nature of the scientific attitude, the attitude of the man or woman who studies and applies physics, biology, chemistry, geology, engineering, medicine or any other science? We all know that science plays an important role in the societies in which we live. Many people believe, however, that our progress depends on different aspects of science. The first of these is the application of the machines, products and systems of applied knowledge that scientists and technologists develop. Through technology, science improves the structure of society and helps man to gain increasing control over his environment. The second aspect is the application by all members of society of the special methods of thought and action that scientists use in their work. What are these special methods of thinking and acting? First of all, it seems that a successful scientist is full of curiosity—he wants to find out how and why the universe works. He usually directs his attention towards problems which he notices have no satisfactory explanation, and his curiosity makes him look for underlining relationships even if the data available seem to be unconnected. Moreover, he thinks he can improve the existing conditions and enjoys trying to solve the problems which this involves. He is a good observer,

accurate, patient and objective and applies logical thought to the observations he makes. He utilizes the facts he observes to the fullest extent. For example, trained observers obtain a very large amount of information about a star mainly from the accurate analysis of the simple lines that appear in a spectrum. He is skeptical—he does not accept statements which are not based on the most complete evidence available—and therefore rejects authority as the sole basis for truth. Scientists always check statements and make experiments carefully and objectively to verify them. Furthermore, he is not only critical of the works of others, but also of his own, since he knows that man is the least reliable of scientific instruments and that a number of factors tends to disturb objective investigation. Lastly, he is highly imaginative since he often has to look for relationships in data which are not only complex but also frequently incomplete. Furthermore, he needs imagination if he wants to make hypotheses of how processed work and how events take place. These seem to be some of the ways in which a successful scientist or technologist thinks and acts.

82． Many people believe that science helps society to progress through ______. A．applied knowledge. B．more than one aspects. C．technology only. D．the use of machines.

正确答案：B

解析：细节题。文章的第二段第二句话指出，人们认为社会的发展依靠科学的许多方面(Many people believe，however，that our progress depends on different aspects of science)。这里的许多方面也就是选项B所表达的多于一方面。

83． Which of the following statements is INCORRECT about curiosity? A．It gives the scientist confidence and pleasure in work. B．It gives rise to interest in problems that are unexplained. C．It leads to efforts to investigate potential connections. D．It encourages the scientist to look for new ways of acting.

正确答案：A

解析：细节题。文章第四段论述科学家所特有的思考和行为的方法，从两个部分阐述。其一是好奇(First of all, it seems that a successful scientist is full of curiosity…)，其二是科学家的对工作的自信和乐在其中的精神(Moreover, he thinks he can improve the existing conditions…)。选项A是隶属于第二部分的内容，而不是在论述好奇时所谈到的内容，故选A。

84． According to the passage, a successful scientist would not ______. A．easily believe in unchecked statements, B．easily criticize others’ research work. C．always use his imagination in work. D．always use evidence from observation.

正确答案：A

解析：细节题。文章第六段指出，成功的科学家总是持怀疑态度，他不能接受没有足够证据的言论，并且他总是核查声明，谨慎客观地用实验将其证实(Scientists always check statements and make experiments carefully and objectively to verify them)，由此故选A。

85． What does the passage mainly discuss? A．Application of technology. B．Process in modern society.

C．Scientists’ ways of thinking and acting. D．How to become a successful scientist,

正确答案：C

解析：主旨题。文章开篇提到科学态度的本质(the nature of the scientific attitude)，然后在文章的主题部分详述了科学家所特有的行为和思考之道(What are these special methods of thinking and acting)，文章结尾作者表明自己的态度，认为以上应该是成功的科学家和科学技术专家所具有的思考和行动之道，所以答案选择C。

86． What is the author’s attitude towards the topic? A．Critical. B．Objective. C．Biased. D．Unclear.

正确答案：B

解析：态度题。文章作者详细列举了成功科学家所具备的品质，最后一句表明以上几点是所具备的品质的一部分(These seem to be some of the ways in which a successful scientist or technologist thinks and acts)，点出自己所列举的不足，从而说明自己客观的立场，因此选择答案B。

Over the past several decades, the U. S. , and Canada and Europe have received a great deal of media and even research attention over unusual phenomena and unsolved mysteries. These includes UFOs as well as sightings and encounters with “nonhuman creatures” such as Bigfoot and the Loch Ness monster. Only recently has Latin America begun to receive such attention as well. Although the mysteries of the Aztec, Mayan, and Inca civilizations have been known for centuries, now the public is also becoming aware of unusual, paranormal phenomena in countries in Peru. The Nazca “lines” of Peru were discovered in 1930s. These lines are deeply carved into a flat, stony plain, and from about 300 intricate pictures of animals such as birds, a monkey, and a lizard. Seen at ground level, the designs are a jumbled senseless mess. The images are so large that they can only be viewed as a height of 1,000 feet—meaning from an aircraft. Yet there were no aircraft in 300 B. C. , when it is judged the designs were made. Nor were there then, or are there now, any nearby mountain

ranges from which to view them. So how and why the native people of Nazca create these marvelous designs? One answer appeared in 1969, when the German researcher and writer Erich von Daniken proposed that the lines were drawn by extraterrestrials as runways for their aircraft. The scientist community did not take long to scoff at and abandon von Daniken’s theory. Over the years several other theories have been put forth, but none has been accepted by the scientific community. Today there is a new and heightened interest in the Nazca lines. It is a direct result of the creation of the Internet. Currently there are over 60 sites dedicated to this mystery from Latin America’s past, and even respected scientists have joined the discussion through e-mail and chat rooms. Will the Internet help explain these unsolved mysteries? Perhaps it is a step in the right direction.

87． Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?

A．Latin America has long received attention for unusual phenomena. B．Public attention is now directed towards countries like Peru. C．Public interest usually focuses on North America and Europe. D．Some ancient civilizations have unsolved mysteries.

正确答案：A

解析：细节题。文章第一段第四行明确指出，直到最近拉丁美洲才受到世人的瞩目(Only recently has Latin America begun to receive such attention as well)，选项A的意思正好与其相反，故选A。

88． According to the passage, the Nazca lines were found ______. A．in mountains. B．in stones. C．on animals. D．on a plain.

正确答案：D

解析：细节题。文章第二段第二句中提到，这些奇怪的线条被深深地刻在了平缓多石的平原上(These lines are deeply carved into a flat，stony plain)，故选D。

． We can infer from the passage that the higher the lines are seen, the______ the images they present.

A．smaller. B．larger. C．clearer. D．brighter.

正确答案：C

解析：推断题。文章第二段第三行指出，如果在地面上观看这些线条，他们就是杂乱无章、没有任何意义的，这些图像如此之大，只能从飞机上来观测(Seen at ground level, the designs are S jumbled senseless mess. The images are so large that they can only be viewed from an aircraft．)。由此可推断出在越高的地方观察

这些图像，图像显得越清晰，故选C。

90． There has been increasing interest in the Nazac lines mainly because of ______.

A．the participation of scientists. B．the emergence of the internet. C．the birth of new theories. D．the interest in the Internet.

正确答案：B

解析：推断题。文章倒数第二段开始部分提出，今天人们对“Nazca怪线”的兴趣又高涨起来，这是网络诞生的直接结果(It is a direct result of the creation of the Internet)。也就是说，网络的出现激发了人们对“Nazca怪线”的兴趣。所以选B。

91． The author is______ about the role of the Internet in solving mysteries. A．cautious B．pessimistic C．uncertain D．optimistic

正确答案：D

解析：态度题。文章最后一段表明作者的观点，作者通过设问句表明网络的出现或许是研究未知之谜的正确的方向(Perhaps it is a step in the fight direction)，从而肯定了网络将要发挥的重要的作用。故选D。

Graduation speeches are a bit like wedding toasts. A few are memorable. The rest tend to trigger such thoughts as, “Why did I wear such uncomfortable shoes?” But graduation speeches are less about the message than the messenger. Every year a few colleges and universities in the US attract attention because they’ve managed to book high-profile speakers. And, every year, the media report some of these speakers’ wise remarks. Last month, the following words of wisdom were spread: “You really haven’t completed the circle of success unless you can help somebody, else move forward. “(Oprah Winfrey, Duke University). “There is no way to stop change; change will come. Go out and give us a future worthy of the world we all wish to create together. “ (Hillary Clinton, New York University). “This really is your moment. History is yours to bend. “ (Joe Biden, Wake Forest University). Of course, the real “get” of the graduation season was first lady Michelle Obama’s appearance at the University of California, Merced. “ Remember that your are blessed,” She told the class of 2009, “Remember that in exchange for those blessings, you must give something back... As advocate and activist Marian Wright Edelman says, ‘ Service is the rent we pay for living.... it is the true measure, the only measure of success’.” Calls to service have a long, rich tradition in these speeches. However, it is possible for a graduation speech to go beyond clich6 and say

something truly compelling. The late writer David Foster Wallace’s 2005 graduation speech at Kenyon College in Ohio talked about how to truly care about other people. It gained something of a cult after it was widely circulated on the Internet. Apple Computer CEO Steve Jobs’ address at Stanford University that year, in which he talked about death, is also considered one of the best in recent memory. But when you’re sitting in the hot sun, fidgety and freaked out, do you really want to be lectured about the big stuff? Isn’t that like trying to maintain a smile at your wedding reception while some relative gives a toast that amounts to “marriage is hard work” ? You know he’s right; you just don’t want to think about it at that particular moment. In fact, as is the case in many major life moments, you can’t really manage to think beyond the blisters your new shoes are causing. That may seem anticlimactic. But it also gets to the heart of on of life’s greatest, saddest truths; that our most “memorable” occasions may elicit the fewest memories. It’s probably not something most graduation speakers would say, but it’s one of the first lessons of growing up.

92． According to the passage, most graduation speeches tend to recall______ memories.

A．great B．trivial

C．unforgettable D．unimaginative

正确答案：B 解析：细节题。文章第一段第二句话指出只有一小部分毕业演讲是令人难忘的(A few are memorable．)；而在下一句话中，作者提到大部分的毕业演讲(the rest)只能让人想到一些琐碎的事情，如“我当时怎么穿了一双不合适的鞋?”(The rest tend to trigger such thoughts as，“Why did I wear such uncomfortable shoes?”)。故答案为B，大多数毕业演讲只让人会想到一些琐碎的小事(trivial memories)．

93． “But graduation speeches are less about the message than the messenger” is explained ______.

A．in the final paragraph.

B．in the last but one paragraph. C．in the first paragraph. D．in the same paragraph.

正确答案：D

解析：概括题。题目中提到的句子位于文章第二段第一行，意为“对于毕业演讲来说最重要的不是演讲内容而是演讲者。”紧接着，在相同一段，作者进一步解释一些美国大学受到瞩目的原因是因为他们邀请了公众人物来为毕业生做毕业演讲，并且媒体会对他们的演讲进行报道。这些都是围绕为什么演讲者比演讲内容重要来谈。故答案为D，在同一段作者对第一句话进行了解释。

94． The graduation speeches mentioned in the passage are related to the following themes EXCEPT ______.

A．death. B．success. C．service. D．generosity.

正确答案：D

解析：细节题。题目中问到文章中提到的毕业演讲的主题，此题可用排除法解答。文章中第四段奥普拉提到了何为的“success”(You really haven’t completed the circle of success unless you can help somebody，else move forward．)，故排除答案B；文章中第八段提到“service”是毕业演讲中经常提到的主题(Calls to service have a long，rich tradition in these speeches．)，故排除答案C；文章中第八段最后一句话提到，苹果公司的CEO在斯坦福大学的毕业演讲中以“death”作为主题(Apple Computer CEO Steve Jobs’address at Stanford University that year，in which he talked about death，is also considered one of the best in recent memory．)，故排除答案A。最后得出，答案为D。

95． It is implied in the passage that at great moments people fail to ______. A．remain clear-headed. B．keep good manners. C．remember others’ words D．recollect specific details.

正确答案：A

解析：细节题。文章第九段最后一句话提到，在人生的一些重要场合，我们无法认真地思考严肃的问题，我们脑子里充满了诸如“新鞋磨出的水泡”之类的琐碎的小事(In fact，as is the case in many major life moments，you can’t really manage to think beyond the blisters your new shoes are causing．)。故答案为A，人们无法在重要场合认真思考，“remain clear-headed”。

96． What is “one of the first lessons of growing up”? A．Attending a graduation ceremony. B．Listening to graduation speeches.

C．Forgetting details of memorable events. D．Meeting high-profile graduation speakers.

正确答案：C

解析：细节题。文章中最后一句话提到“but it’s one of the first lessons of growing up.”，“it”所代指的内容即为答案。由此可知答案在前一句话。在前一句话里，作者提出了一个令人伤感的事实：我们最值得纪念的事情给我们留下的记忆却是最少的(that our most“memorable”occasions may elicit the fewest memories．)，由此可知，答案为C，遗忘人生重大事件的细节。

Cultural rules determine every aspect of food consumption. Who eats together defines social units. For example, in some societies, the nuclear family is the

unit that regularly eats together. The anthropologist Mary Douglas has pointed out that, for the English, the kind of meal and the kind of food that is served related to the kinds of social links between people who are eating together. She distinguishes between regular meals, Sunday meals when relatives may come, and cocktail parties for acquaintances. The food served symbolizes the occasion and reflects who is present. For example, only snacks are served at a cocktail party. It would be inappropriate to serve a teak or hamburgers. The distinctions among cocktails, regular meals, and special dinners mark the social boundaries between those guests who are invited for drinks, those who are invited to dinner, and those who come to a family meal, In this example, the type of food symbolizes the category of guest and with whom it is eaten. In some New Guinea societies, the nuclear family is not the unit that eats together. The men take their meals in a men’s house, separately from their wives and children. Women prepare and eat their food in their own houses and take the husband’s portion to the men’s house. The women eat with their children in their own houses. This pattern is also wide spread among Near Eastern societies. Eating is a metaphor that it sometimes used to signify marriage. In many New Guinea societies, like that of the Lesu on the island of New Ireland in the Pacific and that of the Trobriand Islanders, marriage is symbolized by the couple’s eating together for the first time. Eating symbolizes their new stature as a marriage couple. In U. S. society, it is just the reverse. A couple may go out to dinner on a first date. Other cultural rules have to do with taboos against eating certain things. In some societies, members of a clan, a type of kin (family) group, are not allowed to eat the animal or bird that is their totemic ancestor. Since they believe themselves to be descended from that ancestor, it would be like eating that ancestor or eating themselves. There is also an association between food prohibitions and rank, which is found in its most extreme form in the caste system of India. A caste system consists of ranked groups, each with a different economic specialization. In India, there is an association between caste and idea of pollution. Members of highly ranked groups can be polluted by coming into contact with the bodily secretions, particularly saliva, of individuals of lower-ranked castes. Because of the fear of pollution, Brahmans and other high-ranked individuals will not share food with, not eat from the same plate as, not even accept food from an individual from a low-ranking caste.

97． According to the passage, the English make clear distinctions between ______.

A．people who eat together. B．the kinds of food served. C．snacks and hamburgers. D．family members and guests.

正确答案：B

解析：细节题。文章中第一段第三句话提到人类学家玛丽-道格拉斯的观点，在英国，食物供应的种类由被款待的客人决定(The anthropologist Mary Douglas has pointed out that，for the English，the kind of meal and the kind of food that is served related to the kinds of social links between people who are eating together.)。在

第三句话中，道格拉斯进一步为食物进行分类(She distinguishes between regular meals, Sunday meals when relatives may come, and cocktail parties for acquaintances.)。由此可知，答案为B，食物供应的种类。

98． According to the passage, who will NOT eat together? A．The English.

B．Americans on their first date.

C．Men and women in Near Eastern societies. D．Newly-weds on the island of New Ireland.

正确答案：C

解析：细节题。文章中第二段提到，在新几内亚，丈夫和妻子是分开吃饭的(The men take their meals in a men’s house, separately from their wives and children.)。这段最后一句话又说到这种生活方式在近会也存在(This pattern is also wide spread among Near Eastern societies.)。故答案为C。

99． According to the passage, eating together indicates all the following EXCEPT ______.

A．the type of food. B．social relations. C．martial status. D．family ties.

正确答案：A

解析：细节题。此题可用排除法解答。文章的第三段和第五段都提到了一起用餐。第三段讲述的在新几内亚及新爱尔兰，结婚的标志就是两人第一次一起用餐(In many New Guinea societies, like that of the Lesu on the island of New Ireland in the Pacific and that of the Trobriand Islanders, marriage is symbolized by couple’s eating together for the first time.。由此可知，在这些地方，一起用餐表示两人已结为夫妇，即婚姻状况(martial status)和家庭关系(family ties)。故，答案C和D排除。在最后一段中，作者提到，在印度，人们是否在一起用餐由他们所属的种姓决定(Because of the fear of pollution, Brahmans and other high-ranked individuals will not share food with, not eat from the same plate as, not even accept food from an individual from a low-ranking caste.)。南此可知，在印度，一起用餐的标准为种姓的高低，而种姓代表社会关系(social relations)，故答案B排除在外。因此，选择答案A，文中没有提到一起用餐可以决定食物的类型。

100． The last paragraph suggests that in India______ decides how people eat. A．pollution B．food C．culture

D．social status

正确答案：D

解析：细节题。文章最后一段中作者提到，在印度，人们的用餐方式由他们所属的种姓决定(There is also an association between food prohibitions and rank, which is found in its most extreme form in the caste system of India．)，而种姓在印度代表社会地位(social status)，答案为D。

101． Which of the following can best serve as the topic of the passage? A．Different kinds of food in the world. B．Relations between food and social units. C．Symbolic meanings of food consumption. D．Culture and manners of eating

正确答案：D

解析：主旨题。文章第一句话就提到，文化习俗决定了用餐的各个方面(Cultural rules determine every aspect of food consumption.)。再接下来的内容中，作者列举了几个不同文化的用餐习惯。由此可知，答案为D。

PART VI WRITING (45 MIN)

SECTION A COMPOSITION (35 MIN)

102． It was recently reported in a newspaper that six students who shared a dorm at a local university hired a cleaner to do laundry and cleaning once a week. And each of them paid her 60 yuan a month. This has led to a heated debate as to whether college students should hire cleaners. Write on ANSWER SHEET THREE a composition of about 200 words on the following topic: Should College Students Hire Cleaners? You are to write in three parts. In the first part, state clearly what your view is. In the second part, support your view with appropriate reasons. In the last part, bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or a summary. Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar and appropriateness. Failure to follow the instructions may result in a loss of marks.

正确答案： Should College Students Hire Cleaners? It was recently reported that a few college students hired a help to do some cleaning in their dorm. These students attribute this behavior to their limited spare time. They claim that it can help them to save time and pay more attention to their studies. As far as 1 am concerned, such a chain of reasoning is seriously flawed, and they are just making an excuse for their laziness. College students should not hire a help for their dormitory cleaning. To begin with, it is not necessary for college students to hire a cleaner. As boarding-school students living in tiny dorms, we don’t have much cleaning to do at all. What we need to do everyday is just washing or some basic cleaning, which we learned to do in childhood. Undoubtedly we can manage them by ourselves. In addition, cleaning up a dorm won’t take much time. Conversely, it may help us to divert our attention away from studies and reduce our pressure. As a result, we don’t

need to hire a cleaner to keep our dorms clean. A more important reason why university students should not hire a cleaner is that university education involves both knowledge learning and character building. In the university we should try our best to be more independent and self-reliant. Otherwise, we cannot shoulder greater responsibility when we step into the society. If now we still rely on cleaners for dorm sanitation, how can we earn our own living in the future? Consequently, the most basic thing we should do now is to take care of ourselves and prepare for our future, instead of evading responsibility by hiring a help. In summary, college students should learn to stand on their own feet. Hiring a cleaner is definitely not a wise choice.

解析： 文章论点鲜明，结构清晰，表达比较清楚。 首段：交代背景，引出话题。一些大学生雇佣清洁工来为自己打扫宿舍，声称这是为了节约时间，以便能够专心学习。作者就这一现象表明态度：这些学生只不过是在为自己的懒惰找借口，大学生不应该雇佣清洁工来打扫宿舍。首段点题。 第二段：首先说明第一个原因——大学生雇佣清清工完全没有必要。学生的宿舍很小，需要做的事情都非常简单，而且也不会占用太多时间，没有必要请别人来做。相反，在紧张的学习之余做一些打扫工作还可以转移注意力，减轻学习压力。 第三段：提出第二个原因——大学生不应该雇用清洁工，因为学生在大学时期不仅要学习知识，还要尽可能地磨练自己，否则步入社会之后将无法承担更大的责任。如果学生现在连宿舍都需要别人来打理，将来如何能够独自生存呢?因此，大学生应该做到自理和自立，而非通过雇佣他人打扫卫生这种形式来逃避责任。 末段：总结全文，得出结论，重申自己的观点：大学生不应该雇佣清洁工来打扫宿舍，这是一个非常不明智的选择。 文章结构清晰，内容层次分明。有明确的主题句统领各段，段与段之间的过渡衔接也比较恰当得体。
