Passage Two

In the past, people who graduated from college felt proud of their academic achievements and confident that their degree would help them to find a good job.

However, in the past four years the job market has changed dramatically. This year’s college graduates are facing one of the worst job markets. For example, Ryan Stewart, a graduate of San Jose State University, got a degree in religious studies, but he has not gotten any job offers. He points out that many people already working are ge\\tting laid off and don’t have jobs, so it’s even harder for new college graduates to find jobs.

Four years ago, the future looked bright for his class of 2006. There were many high-tech (“dot com”) job opportunities, graduates received many job offers, and they were able to get jobs with high salaries and benefits such as health insurance and paid vacations. However, “Times have changed. It’s a new market, “ according to an officer of the university. The officer says students who do find jobs started preparing two years ago. They worked during summer vacations, they have had several short-time jobs, and they majored in fields that are still pay ing well, such a as accountion or nursing.

Even teaching is not a secure profession now. Ryan Stewart wanted to be a teacher, but instead he will probably go back to school in order to become a college teacher. He thinks college teaching could be a good career evern in a bad economy.

In conclusion, these days a college degree does not automatically lead to a good job with a high salary. Some students can only hope that the value of their degree will increase in the future.

36.What did a college degree mean to people in the past? A. It was a proof of their professional skills. B.It would guarantee their quick promotion. C. It built up their confidence in the job market. D. It would help them to start an academic career. 37. Ryan Steward has not got any job offer because____.

4

A. there are too many graduates of his major B. he wants to find a job with very high salary C. he has not received a degree in the university D. the job markent has changed greatly since 2002

38. According to the passage, ____had the best job prospects in 2002.

A. computer science B. accounting C. teaching D. nursing 39. Why does Ryan Steward want to be a college teacher? A. Teaching jobs are well-paid.

B. He majored in teaching in the university.

C. College teaching is less challenging than high-tech jobs. D. College teaching career won’t be influenced by econmy. 40. It can be concluded from the passage that__________. A. the value of a college degree has decreased now B. new college graduates today can’t find jobs C. a college degree can still lead to a good job D. graduates must prepare early to find jobs

Passage Three

Sharon Keating was worried about her kids when she got a divorce. Her daughter says, “I was feeling….like down and sad and even though I didn’t really show it.”

Judith Wallerstein says problems from divorce can last many years. They can show up when the kids are adults. And the kids have their own trouble. Wallerstein studied 93 children over a generation The results can be found in her book.

She says that children of divorce are more likely to have problems with drugs. They are far more likely to seek therapy. About 40 percent of them avoid marriage themselvews. When they do marry, fail at nearly twice the usual rate. It is hard for them to trust. They are afraid of failing.

5

Critics say Wallerstein had too few children in her study. They think that Wallerstein stresses too much from a small study. Other things may be the cause of the kid’s problems. The study does not compare kids from divorced families with kids from “healthy”families. Wallerstein’s families divorced a generation ago. Times have changed. People feel different about divorce. Today programs like Kid’s Turn try to reduce some of the effects of divorce with family advice. Talking about their feelings helps the kids get throught it. Since they know more about the problems, maybe the kids will be able to handle it.

41. Which word can best describe the kids from divorced families according to Paragraph 1 ?

A. Offensive. B. Relieved. C. Depressed. D. Prejudiced. 42. Children from divorced families who marry later will _____________

A. Have no trust in other people B. Be more likely to get divorced C. Firmly protect their marriage D. Have stable marriage

C. Are less able to handle their problems D. Are told not to talk about their problems

Passage Four It is still sometimes difficult to understand why those between ages 10 and 18 would endanger their lives by joining armed forces or rebel groups and become fighting soldiers. The recently published book, Young Soldiers, Why they choose to Fight by Rachel Brett and Irma Specht, triestries to find an answer.

There is no doubt that children fight in most armed conflicts today. While international attention focuses Iargely on those who ar forced into battles, thousands more enlist(应征入伍)voluntarily.

In an attempt to understand the yong who take up arms, Brtt and Specht interviewed 53 boy and girl soldiers and ex-soldiers from around the world, Afghanistan, Colombia, the Republic of the Congo for example. All interviewees were involved with armed forces or armed groups before the age of 18 and all classified themselves as volunteers.

6

What these two field officers heard is \nothing, you volunteer for the army\Other reasons young people gave are self--defense. Revenge, poverty, and unemployment.

But while it is common knowledge that most child soldiers come from poor and disadvantaged backgrounds, Young Soldiers shows that the issue is far more complex. Many poor children do not join the army. The environmental, educational, social, cultural, and highly personal factors determine whether someone decides to join up or not.

The battlefield is not a place for children. One young soldier described being there as \child soldiers should know how to discourage others from the same tragedy. 46. Young Soldiers, Why They Choose to Fight is _____.

A. A book B. A magazine C. A news report D. A Tv program 47. According to Paragraph 3, Brett and Specht's interviewees ___________. A. Joined armed forces under 18

B. Considered going into the army their duty C. Were only from African countries D. Were mainly the ex-soldiers

48. The reasons shown in Young soldiers for children to join the army are ___-. A. Very simple B. Very complex C. Unknow D. Unbelievable 49. The writers of Young Soldiers probably expect that _________ A. Child soldiers would leave armed forces B. They could find more than 53 interviewees C. No more children would join armed forces D. There wud be no wars in the world 50. The tone of the passage is

A. Pleasant B indifferent C. Humorous D. objective

Passage Five It’s interesting that technology often works as a servant for us, yet frequently we become a servant to it. E-mail is a useful tool but many feel controlled by this new vehicle. The average businessperson is getting about 80 e-mails per day and many feel that about 80% of the messages in their “In Box” are of little or no value.

So, I have four suggestions to help you to become beter at Easing E-mail”.

!. Get off the list. The best way to deal with a problem is to never have it. If you are receiving a lot of unwanted e-mails, ask to be removed from the various lists. This would include your inclusion in unwanted “cc” lists (抄送名单)

2. “Unlisted address”. Just like getting an “unlisted” telephone number that you share only with those whom you want to give direct access, you might want get a separate e-mail address only for the important communications you wish to receive.

7

3. Check it once or twice per day. Many I speak with are becoming chained to their email server, monitoring incoming e-mail on a continuous basis. Maybe this is because e-mail creates its own sense of urgency, but most of the communications are not all that urgent. I respond to them a couple of times per day.

4. Deal with it. As you open each e-mail do one of the following: a. If it requires a quick response, respond to it and delete it.

b. If it requires a response but is not the best use of your time, try to fin someone else to do it.

c. If it is going to take any serious amount of time to respond, schedule it for action in your Day Planner and then download the message, save it, or print it out for future action. I personally receive approximately 250 e-mails per day and by practicing the suggestions above, I can handle that volume in about an hour, taking advantage of this fantastic tool but not being controlled by it to the distraction(分心) of more important tasks in my day.

51. The passage is about _______.

A. How o check e-mails B. how to collect e-mails

C. how to deal with your daily e-mails D. how to deal with 80% valueless e-mails

52. If you get unwanted e-mails, the best you can do is to ______. A. make a list of them B. put them into “cc” lists

C. send them to a special address D. delete them from different lists 53. For the important communications, the writer suggests that you ______. A. have a direct access for them

B. have several e-mail servers for them C. get an unlisted phone number for them

D. get a special email address for them

54. To avoid being chained by the coming e-mails, what you can do is to ____. A. respond urgent ones only B. reply all of them at the same time C. handle htem a couple of times daily D. keep replying e-mails all day long 55. To deal with an e-mail you get, you can do the following EXCEPT ______. A. downloading every e-mail before you reply B. responding right away if it’s urgent
