　　Passage 2:

　　Some universities, like Oxford and Cambridge in Britain, are residential, which means students live and study on the campus. Other universities are non-residential, which means students have to spend a lot of time to travel daily to their lectures. // There are also part-time students who have to do their work during the day, and they study in the evening. Other part-time students have to study by correspondence. //

　　"The Open University" can also help students to gain university degrees. Here, lectures are mainly given on radio or television. However, for a few weeks each year, students can attend vacation courses at universities. // For admission to any university degree course, a student has to pass qualifying examinations. In Britain, there are not enough places for all secondary school students, so these qualifying examinations are highly competitive.

　　还有一些利用业余时间学习的学生，他们白天必须工作，晚上学习。还有些业余学生则不得不通过函授学习。

　　“开放大学”也能帮助学生取得大学学位，大学主要通过广播或电视播出讲座。但是每年有几个星期，学生能在大学里参加假期班的学习。

　　对于任何要取得大学学位的教程，学生都得通过入学资格考试。由于在英国没有足够的名额让所有中学生进入大学。因此，这些入学考试具有很强的竞争性。

　　由于会议成员国有着不同的文化、历史和政治制度，亚欧国家之间经常性的高层交流对于彼此之间更好的了解是必不可缺的。// 因此，具有战略眼光的人士很清楚亚欧国家之间的合作全然不是一种权宜之计。今日向合作投资，必将带来明日的大丰收。//

　　(参考答案)

　　Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr. Chairman, we warmly welcome the convening of Asia-Europe meeting in Paris. We hope that the current Asia-Europe summit will turn out to be more pragmatic and specified, with a constructive outcome. //

　　We understand that equality is the foundation of Asia-Europe cooperation, and certainly it should serve as a principle for the Asia-Europe summit. That equality should be non-conditional. //

　　Given the different cultures, histories and political systems of the members, frequent high-level exchanges between the Asian and European nations are indispensable to better mutual understanding. //

　　Therefore, it is clear for those with strategic vision that Asia-Europe cooperation is by no means an expedient measure. To invest in that cooperation today suggests a bumper harvest tomorrow.
