1、Migrant (移民的) WorkersIn the past twenty years, there has been an increasing tendency forworkers to move from one country to another. While some countries have restricted most jobs to local people, others have attracted and welcomed migrant workers. This is particularly the case in the Middle East, where increased oil incomes have enabled many countries to call in outsiders to improve local facilities. Thus the Middle East has attracted oil workers from the USA and Europe. It has brought in workers from many countries, including South Korea and Japan.In view of the difficult living and working conditions in the Middle East, it is not surprising that the pay is high to attract suitable workers. Many engineers and technicians can earn at least twice as much money in the Middle East as they can in their own country, and this is a majorattraction .Sometimes a disadvantage has a compensating (补偿的) advantage. Forexample, the difficult living conditions often lead to increased friendship when workers have to depend on each other forsafety and comfort. In a similar way, many migrant workers can save large sums of money partly because of the lack of entertainment facilities. The work is often complex and full of problems but this merely presents challenge to engineers who prefer to find solutions to problems rather than do routine work in their home country.One majorproblem which affects migrant workers in the Middle East is that their jobs are temporary ones. They are nearly always on contract, so it is not easy forthem to plan ahead with great confidence. This is to be ______ since no country welcomes a large number of foreign workers as permanent residents. In any case, migrant workers accept this disadvantage, along with others, because of the considerable financial benefits which they receive.【单选题】
A.suggested
B.reported
C.indicated
D.expected
正确答案:D
答案解析:空格所在句子是对上一个句子的解释。因此用expected是正确的。全句的意思是:这些是在预料之中的,因为没有一个国家会欢迎如此多的外国工人成为他们的永久居民。suggested:表明,建议;reported:报道;indicated:表明。
2、One-Room SchoolsOne-room schools are part of the heritage of the United States, and the mention of them makes people feel a longing for"the way things were." One - room schools are an endangered species (种类), however. Formore than a hundred years, one - room schools have been systematically shut down and their students were sent away to centralized schools. As recently as 1930 there were 149,000 one - room schools in the United States. By 1970 there were 1,800. Today, of the nearly 800 remaining one - room schools, more than 350 are in Nebraska. The rest are spread through a few other states that have on their road maps wide - open spaces between towns.Now that there are hardly any left, educators are beginning to think that maybe there is something yet to be learned from one - room schools, something that served the pioneers that might serve as well today. Progressive educators have come up with new names like "peer -groupteaching" and "multi - age grouping" foreducational procedures that occur naturally in the one - room schools. In a one - room school the children teach each other because the teacher is busy part of the time teaching someone else. The fourth grader can work at the fifth grade level in math and the third grade level in English without the bad name associated with being left back orthe pressures of being skipped (超过) ahead. A youngster with a learning disability can find his orher own level without being separated from other pupils. A few hours in a small school that has only one classroom and it becomes clear why so many parents feel that one of the advantages of living in Nebraska is that their children have to go to a one - room school.A majorcharacteristic of the one - room school system is that ____.【单选题】
A.learning is not limited to one grade level
B.pupils mostly study math and English
C.some children have to be left back
D.teachers are always busy

3、African wild dogFinding a babysitter while you go out to work is, forexample, an inconvenience. Forthe African wild dog, one of the continent\'s most endangered carnivores (食肉动物), it\'s a matter of life and death. A new research shows that once packs (兽群) fall below a certain size, they are not enough animals to both hunt food and stay at home protecting the young.The African wild dog has declined drastically over the past century. Habitual loss (栖息地的丧失), persecution and unexplained outbreaks of disease have all been blamed. Only 3, 000 to5,000 animals remain, and the species is expected to go extinct within decades if the trend continues.Other large carnivores such as the spotted hyena (鬣狗) face similar pressures, yet are not declining. Now Franck Courchamp of Cambridge University has found a reason why. The dog\'s weakness lies in its social organization.Within each pack of up to 20 adults and pups, only the dominant male and female breed. The remaining animals help raise the pups, cooperating to hunt prey and defend the kill from other carnivores.Because pups can\'t keep up on a hunt, large packs leave an adult behind to protect them from predators (捕猎者), which include lions and hyenas. But leaving a babysitter also carries costs. A smaller hunting party is less able to tackle large prey and to defend the kill. There is also one less stomach in which to carry food back to the den, and one more mouth to feed when they get there.Courchamp investigated this awkward trade-off (权衡) by modeling how the costs of a babysitter change with decreasing pack size. This showed that packs of more than five adults should be able to feed all the pups and still spare a babysitter. But with smaller packs, either the hunting orthe babysitting suffers, orthe animals have to compensate by increasing the number of hunting excursions which itself carries a cost to the pack.Field observations in Zimbabwe supported the model. Packs of five animals orfewer left pups unguarded more frequently than larger packs did. There was also evidence that when they did leave a babysitter, they were forced to hunt more often.A pack which drops below a critical size becomes caught in a vicious circle (恶性循环), says Courchamp, who is now at Paris-Sud University. "Poorreproduction and low survival further reduces pack size, culminating in (最终造成) failure of the whole pack. " and deaths caused by human activity, says Courchamp, may be what reduce pack numbers to below the sustamable threshold. Mammal ecologist Chris Carbone at London\'s Institute of Zoology agrees. Maintaining the integrity of wild dog packs will be vitalin preserving the species, he says.The spotted hyena is on the verge of extinction.【单选题】

8、A Country\'s Standard of LivingThe "standard of living" of any country means the average person\'s share of the goods and services the country produces. A country\'s standard of living, therefore, depends first on its capacity to produce wealth. "Wealth" in this sense is not money, forwe do not live on money but on things that money can buy: "goods such as food and clothing", and "services" such as transport and entertainment.A country\'s capacity to produce wealth depends upon many factors most of which have an effect on one another. Wealth depends to a great extent upon a country\'s natural resources. Some region of the world are well supplied with coal and minerals, and have fertile (肥沃的) soil and a favorable climate, other regions possess none of them.Next to natural resources comes the ability to turn them to use, China is perhaps as rich as the USA in natural resources, but suffered formany years from civil and external wars, Forthis and other reasons it was unable to develop her resources. Sound and stable political conditions, and freedom from foreign invasions, enable a country to develop its natural resources peacefully and steadily, to produce more ____ than other country.A country\'s standard of living does not only depend upon the wealth that is produced and consumed within its own borders, but also upon what is directly produced through international trade. Forexample, Britain\'s wealth in foodstuffs and other agricultural products would be much less if she had to depend only on those grown at home. Trade makes it possible forher surplus (剩余的) manufactured goods to be traded abroad forthe agricultural products which would otherwise be lacking. A country\'s wealth is, therefore, much influenced by its manufacturing capacity, providing that other countries can be found ready to accept its manufactures.【单选题】
A.wealth
B.report
C.effect
D.result
正确答案:A
答案解析:本题难度不大,干扰项干扰不强。可以先看选项,得到信息提示,结合原文,很明显,此处要使用wealth,“财富”,最佳答案是A。
9、WealthAmong the more colorful characters of Leadville\'s golden age were H. AW. Taborand his second wife, Elizabeth McCourt, better known as "Baby Doe". Their history is fast becoming one of the legends of the Old West. Horace Austin school teacher in Vermont. With his first wife and two children he left Vermont by covered wagon in 1855 to homestead in Kansas. Perhaps he did not find farming to his liking, orperhaps he was lured by rumors of fortunes to be made in Colorado mines. At any rate, a few years later he moved west to the small Colorado mining camp known as California Gulch, which he later renamed Leadville when he became its leading citizen. "Great deposits of lead are sure to be found here. " he said.As it turned out, it was silver, not lead, that was to make Leadville\'s fortune and wealth. Taborknew little about mining himself, so he opened a general store, which sold everything from boots to salt, flour, and tobacco. It was his custom to "grubstake" prospective miners, in other words, to supply them with food and supplies, or"grub", while they looked forore, in return forwhich he would get a share in the mine if one was discovered. He did this fora number of years, but no one that he aided ever found anything of value.Finally one day in the year 1878, so the story goes, two miners came in and asked for"grub". Taborhad decided to quit supplying it because he had lost too much money that way. These were persistent, however, and Taborwas too busy to argue with them. "Oh help yourself. One more time won\'t make any difference," He said and went on selling shoes and hats to other customers. The two miners took $17 worth of supplies, in gave Tabora one-third interest in their findings. They picked a barren place on the mountainside and began to dig, After nine days they struck a rich vein of silver. Taborbought the shares of the other two men, and so the mine belonged to him alone. This mine, known as the "Pittsburgh Mine," made l,300,000 forTaborin return forhis $17 investment.Later Taborbought the Matchless Mine on another barren hillside just outside the town for$117,000. This turned out to be even more fabulous than the Pittsburgh, yielding $35,000 worth of silver per day at one time. Leadville grew. Taborbecame its first mayor, and later became lieutenant governorof the state.Leadville got its name forthe following reasons EXCEPT ____.【单选题】
A.because of the citizens
