Free and secure accommodation, no bills and even the odd home-cooked meal. It sounds like the perfect living arrangement for cash-strapped students. Two mothers believe they have devised a way for struggling students to save on accommodation costs when they leave home to study at university. Kate Barnham and Amanda Flude have launched Student Swaps, an online accommodation forum (论坛) for parents and students, in advance of the introduction in September of £3,000 higher education top-up fees. Their website says, “The principle behind Student Swaps is to enable students to literally swap (交换) family homes.” The website will hold a database of students who would like to swap and link them with suitable matches. So those from one town / city could swap with those from a different town / city. The site describes itself as offering a “cost-free accommodation alternative… at a time of growing student debt”. There is no charge for the service at the moment but Ms Barnham and Ms Flude intend to introduce a £10 annual fee if it becomes established. However, the National Union of Students (NUS) has warned that, while the scheme may sound appealing to struggling freshers, it lacks any formal regulation. Veronica King, NUS vice-president of welfare, said, “The fact that this scheme has even been suggested is evidence to the high levels of debt students now face on graduation.” Recent research has shown that students are more likely to live at home in coming years, in a bid to cut down on the cost of a degree. “This is worrying, as it may mean that students choose their university on the basis of where it is, rather than because it offers the best course for them. It also means students will miss out on what is for some a key part of the student experience-living away from home.” 51. A “cash-strapped” student means one who __________. A. lacks money B. prefers to stay at home C. is careful with money D. wants to change cash 52. What is Kate Barnham and Amanda Flude’s purpose of launching Student Swaps? A. To provide cheaper accommodation for students. B. To let students stay close to their universities. C. To help students spend less on accommodation costs. D. To let students exchange ideas freely online. 53. What can students do on Student Swaps? A. They can find students to exchange homes with. B. They can make friends with students from a different city. C. They can borrow money to pay for their higher education. D. They can voice their opinions against the rising cost of a degree. 54. Now many students would prefer a university _________. A. which can give them free accommodation B. which is not far away from their homes C. which offers the best courses D. which can offer home-cooked meals 55. What would be the best title for the passage? A.第二节 信息匹配(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分) 请阅读下列应用文及相关信息,并按照要求匹配信息。请在答题卡上将对应题号的相应选项字母涂黑。 首先,请阅读下列有关电器的介绍:
