答案与解析
Part ⅠWritingColleges Have Opened Their Doors Wider
Colleges have opened their doors wider in recent years because the student population has increased enormously from 4 million to more than 7 million in less than six years since 1997. Is this a good thing?
Some argue that the enrollment increase will benefit individuals and the society as well. It allows more students to pursue higher educations and state loans enable children from poor families to complete their education at universities and colleges. This may in turn contribute to helping them to eliminate poverty for the society.
Others express concerns over the rapid expansion. They are afraid that some problems may arise from it, for example, the problem of employment. A lot more graduates may have great trouble in finding a job after graduation, which will lead to a social problem.
In my opinion, the former view is more reasonable. Admittedly, a rapid increase of graduates seemingly places a heavy burden on the society. However, on second thoughts, we find that it is due to the rapid expansion that, to a great extent, we can delay the approach of the upcoming employment wave. Moreover, just as property and wealth once were keys to success, education has become the main provider of individual opportunity in our society and an element that most ensures success in life and eliminates poverty. In this sense, I am convinced that the admission expansion is very instrumental.

Part ⅡReading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)
1. Y. 该句句意为:根据说明，该系统是用来防止车辆偷盗的。本题解题依据为文章第一段第一句话，与原文之义相符。
2. Y. 该句句意为:设定该防盗系统时，你应该让所有乘客下车。本题依据为 SETTING THE SYSTEM 标题下列出的第二点，与原文之义吻合。
3. N. 该句句意为: 当用钥匙打开车后门时，该系统设置将被取消。本题解题依据为CANCELLING THE SYSTEM 下面一段，该段大意为:用钥匙打开前门或滑门该系统将完全取消，显然本题句意与原文所述不符。
4. N. 该句句意为:该系统只有在使用钥匙打开前门、滑门、后门及发动机罩时才会起动。本题解题依据为Activating the system 下面第二句话即:If any of the front, sliding and back doors and hood is unlocked without using the key(如不用钥匙打开前门、滑门、后门和发动机罩，该系统将发出警报并切断起动机电路)，由此可见,该句意与本题之义相反。
5. N. 该句句意为: 如果终止警报，你得把车的点火钥匙从"ACC"位置拨到"LOCK"位置。本题解题依据为Stopping the alarm 下面第一句话:Turn the ignition key from the "LOCK" to "ACC" position (把点火钥匙从"LOCK"拨到 "ACC"位置)，显然与原文不符。
6. N. 该句句意为: 当指示灯闪烁时，不需要用钥匙打开任何门和发动机罩。本题解题依据为INDICATOR LIGHT 下面的第二句话:You need the key to open the front, sliding and back doors and hood. (你需要钥匙打开前后门、滑门和发动机罩)。显然本题句意与原文所述不符。
