Section B Passage One

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.

It is well that young men should begin at the beginning and occupy the most subordinate positions. Many of the leading businessmen of Pittsburgh had a serious responsibility thrust upon them at the very threshold of their career. They were introduced to the broom, and spent the first hours of their business lives sweeping out the office. I notice we have janitors and janitresses now in offices, and our men unfortunately miss that beneficial branch of business education. But if by chance the professional sweeper is absent any morning, the boy who has the genius of the future partner in him will not hesitate to try his hand at the broom. It dose not hurt the newest

comer to sweep out the office if necessary. I was one of those sweepers myself. Assuming that you have all obtained employment and are fairly started, my advice to you is \high.\condition of success, the great secret: concentrate your energy, thought, and capital exclusively upon the business in which you are engaged. The concerns which fail are those which have scattered their capital, which means that they have scattered their brains also. \ your eggs in one basket\that basket.\watch and carry the one basket. It is trying to carry too many baskets that break most eggs in the country. He who carries three baskets must put one on his head, which is apt to tremble and trip (摔倒) him up.

正确答案： A

Passage Two

Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.

Despite a cooling of the economy, high-technology companies are still crying out for skilled workers. The Information Technology Association of America projects that more than 800,000 technology jobs will go unfilled next year. The lack of qualified workers poses a huge threat to the U.S. economy. The most commonly cited reason for this state of affairs is that the country's agrarian-age (农村时代) education system fails to prepare students in the primary and secondary grades for twenty-first-century work. Yet an inadequate and outmoded education system is only part of the problem. A less tangible but equally powerful cause is an antique classification system that divides the workforce into two camps: white-collar knowledge workers and blue-collar manual laborers. Blue-collar workers emerged in the United States during the Industrial Age as work migrated from farms to factories. White-collar office workers became a significant class in the twentieth century, outnumbering the blue-collar workers by mid-century. Corporations increasingly require a new layer of knowledge worker: a highly skilled multi-disciplined talent, who combines the mind of the white-collar worker with a solid grounding in mathematics and science (physics, chemistry, and biology). These \workers — so named for their contributions to their companies and to the economy as well as for their personal earning ability — apply that knowledge to technology. The gold-collar worker already exists in a wide range of jobs. The maintenance technician who tests and repairs aircraft systems at American Airlines; the network administrator who manages systems and network operations at Procter & Gamble; the engineering technologist who assists scientists at Sandia National Laboratories; and the advanced-manufacturing technician at Intel can all be regarded as gold-collar workers.

36. In the first paragraph, the word \ A) throws B) predicts C) concludes D) claims 正确答案： B

37. Compared with a blue-collar worker, a gold-collar worker _____. A) is more skillful in technology B) has received higher education

C) used to be a white-collar worker D) learnt more in high school

正确答案： A

38. A gold-collar worker _____.

A) knows more than one kind of knowledge or skill B) knows only one kind of knowledge or skill

C) earns less than a blue-collar worker D) earns less than a white-collar worker 正确答案： A

39. The first group of blue-collar workers were most likely to be _____ in the past. A) migrants B) educators C) servants D) farmers

正确答案： D

40. When did the number of white-collar workers become bigger than that of the blue-collar workers in America?

A) Recently. B) In 1970 or so. C) In 1950 or so. D) During the Industrial Age.
