1、Continuing Education1 People around the world agree that education is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate students only forthe aim of educating them. Our purpose is to fit them forlife. Life is varied; so is education.2 Ideas about education are more specified in the United States. Education today is not just a high school diploma ora college degree. Many adults are not interested in going to college. They are interested in other kinds of learning. Forthem, learning does not end with a diploma.3 Continuing education gives these adults the opportunity to increase their knowledge about their own field orto learn about a new field. It also gives them a chance to improve their old skills orto learn new ones. Scientists, mechanics, secretaries, barbers and cooks can take classes to improve their work skills. If they know more orlearn more, they can get a better job orearn more money.4 Continuing education classes give more adults the chance to learn new skills. There is usually a large variety of classes to choose from: typing, foreign cooking, photography, auto repair, furniture repair, orswimming. There are only some of the classes available.5 Some adults take classes forfun orbecause the class will be useful forthem. Other adults take continuing education classes to improve their own lives because they want to feel better about themselves.6 Almost any community college orpublic school system has a continuing education program. There are classes in schools, community buildings orchurches. Most classes are in the evenings, so working people can attend. The classes are usually small, and they are inexpensive.The best title forthe passage would be ____【单选题】
A.adults should go on learning after graduating from school
B.to enlarge their knowledge and learn new skills
C.by community colleges and public schools
D.only forworking people
E.Continuing Education Classes
F.The Importance of a College Degree
正确答案:E
答案解析:文章先提了全世界人民对教育的看法,接下来讲了美国人对教育的理解。重点讲继续教育,讲得非常细致。所以能概括全文的就是E。
2、LanguageWhen one looks back upon the fifteen hundred years that are the life span of the English language, he should be able to notice a number of significant truths. The history of language is a history of constant change-at times a slow, almost imperceptible change, at other times a violent collision between two languages. Language a living growing organism, it has never been static. Another significant truth that emerges from such a study is that language at all times has been the possession not of one class orgroupbut of many. At one extreme it has been the property of the common, ignorant folk, who have used it in the daily business of their living, much as they have used their animals orthe kitchen pots and pans. At the other extreme it has been the treasure of those who have respected it as an instrument and a sign of civilization, and who have struggled by writing it down to give it some permanence, order, dignity, and if possible, a little beauty.As we consider our changing language, we should note here two developments that are of special and immediate importance to us. One is that since the time of the Anglo-Saxons there has been an almost complete reversal of the different relationship of words in a sentence. Anglo-Saxon(old English) was a language of many inflections. Modern English has few inflections. We must now depend largely on word orcerand function words to convey the meanings that the older language did by means of changes in the forms of words. Function words, you should understand, are words such as prepositions, conjunctions, and a few others that are used primarily to show relationships among other words. A few inflections, however, have survived. and when some word inflections come into conflict with word order,. there may be trouble forthe users of the language, as we shall see later when we turn our attention to such maters as WHO orWHOM and ME orl. The second fact we must consider is that as language itself changes, our attitudes toward language forms change also. The eighteenth century, forexample, produced from various sources a tendency to fix the language into patterns not always setin and grew, until at the present time there is a strong tendency to restudy and re-evaluate language practices in terms of the ways in which people speak and write.Which of the following can be best used as the title of the passage?【单选题】
A.The history of the English language.
B.Our changing attitude towards the English language.
C.Our changing language.
D.Some characteristics of modern English,
正确答案:C
答案解析:本文从各个方面谈及英语作为一种语言的发展变化,但并不是讲述英语的历史,所以选项A不对,选项C作为文章的题目最为贴切。选项B只是文章阐述的一个方面,不够全面。文章是在谈到英语的不断变化的时候谈到了现代英语的一些特点,所以选项D也过于片面。
3、Why People Use Pseudonyms (假名字)?You can\'t choose the name you are given at birth, but in many countries you can change it legally when you reach adulthood. Of course, most people never change their names even if they feel unhappy about them. However some people do take this course of action-particularly artists! What makes an artist want to change their name? Sometimes it\'s forpurely personal reasons, such as the Nobel Prize winning poet from Chile, Neftalf Reyes. He didn\'t want his father to know he was writing poetry, so he changed his name to Pablo Neruda when he was a young man. At other times the reason may appear strange, take the case of the Portuguese poet Femando Pessoa, who wrote under 75 different names. The reason? "When I use a different name, I always write in a different way," he explained. In most cases, however , people change their names forsocial, historical, political, orcultural reasons. Here are some of the most common: reason. The person\'s real name is just too long and difficult to remember. Let\'s be honest, Madonna Louise Ciccone is not as easy to remember as just plain Madonna. and short names are much easier to remember: William Bradley became Brad Pitt and Edson Arantes do Nascimento became Pele.Sometimes names are changed formarketing purposes. Forexample, if a name sounds too foreign, it may be changed to something that is more recognizable in a market. So in the film world, Ramon Estsvez adopted the name Martin Sheen. ormaybe the artist\'s real name doesn\'t sound attractive-Chad Everett does ____ a lot better than Raymond Cramton.Artists sometimes choose the name of someone they admire. Robert Zimmerman changed his name to Boo Dylan because of his admiration forthe Welsh poet, Dylan Thomas.Another reason may be practical: in the past, women found it very difficult to get published. To avoid this situation, they sometimes gave themselves men\'s names, so the English authorMary Ann Evans became George Eliot, and she did get her books published!【单选题】
A.look
B.hear
C.seem
D.sound
正确答案:D
答案解析:本题难度不大,干扰项干扰性不强,文中又有提示,很明显,要用sound,最佳答案是D。
4、Making Yourself a Good RecordIf you are an American and you think you might need to borrow money someday, the best thing to do is to start early.That\'s because just as many employers want to hire only people with experience, banks and other creditors are usually reluctant to lend to those without a proven track record of paying back, on time, the money they have borrowed.But if you need experience just to get a start, how do you get that start in the first place?With a little help from your parents usually, while you are still financially dependent on them. It is easy to get a credit card orstudent loan when you are in college, because banks figure your parents will bail you out if you fail to pay.So just as students take on internships to build up their resumes, one s university time can be a good time to work on another important personal record: the credit reportCredit reports are a summary of one\'s personal credit history, gathered by a credit reporting agency, orCRA.Banks, and companies including hospitals, landlords and insurance companies-regularly report to the three main CRAs in the US ______ how their customers are doing at paying back the money they owe.Anyone with a "legitimate business need" has the right to orcerindividuals\' reports from the CRAs. Potential creditors usually compile the information in the reports into a credit "score", ranking the level of creditworthiness. Lack of experience in borrowing in addition to a bad record of doing so, can result in a low score.Even if you are not considering taking out a loan forsuch a large purchase as a home orcar, your credit report can be important to getting through life. Landlords often ask forthe reports to judge whether a person can be trusted to pay the rent. Credit checks are necessary forgetting a credit card, even forpurchasing a mobile phone calling plan.People can obtain a copy of their own credit report, usually at a cost of around US$ 8-9. Some consumer organizations recommend doing this once a year to allow one to catch any mistakes that have slipped into the records or, even worse, to find out whether any fraud has taken place. Though the system is controlled by laws meant to protect people\'s privacy, it isn\'t fool-proof. Sometimes people take out bad loads in others\' names, ruining their records.In a society addicted tocredit, that can be a disaster.【单选题】
A.by
B.with
C.in
D.on
正确答案:D
答案解析:空格所在的局部结构是:report to sb. /sth. on向某人/某机构汇报有关……的内容。
5、Woman workThough some people have suggested that women should return to housework in orcerto leave more jobs formen, the idea has been rejected by both women and men in public opinion polls.Lately some unionofficials have suggested that too many women are employed in types of work more suitable formen and that women should step aside to make way forunemployed young men. They argue that women, especially women in their childbearing years,actually delay economic development and result in productivity, poorquality and inefficiency.To solve the problem, they suggested that working women stay at home while their husbands orbrothers were given double wages. They argue that under these circumstances, families would remain their same level of income, and women could run the house and raise children much better,The suggestion, however , has been flatly rejected by 9 0ut of 10 people polled .Some other people have suggested another way called "phased employment" theory. The theory suggests that a woman worker take leave from her job when she is seven months pregnant and stay off the job ____ her baby reaches the age of 3. It suggested that women on leave receive 75 percent of their normal salary and be allowed to return to work after the three-year period. This will benefit children, women, their families and the society and it definitely seems to be more acceptable than the suggestion that women return to their homes forever.【单选题】
A.when
B.until
C.after
D.while
正确答案:B
答案解析:文中的意思是“休假直到宝宝三岁再上班”,因此要用until。
6、Sharing SilenceDeaf teenagers Orlando Chavez and German Resendiz have become friends since kindergarten (幼儿园). Together the two boys, who go to Escondido High School in California, have had the difficult job of learning in schools where the majority of the students can speak and hear.Orlando lost his hearing at the age of one. German was borned deaf, and his parents moved from Mexico to find a school where he could learn sign language. He met Orlando on their first day of kindergarten."We were in a special class with about 25 other deaf kids," German remembers. "Before then, I didn\'t know I was deaf and I was different.""Being young and deaf in regular classes was very hard," signs Orlando. "The other kids didn\'t understand us and we didn\'t understand them. But we\'ve all grown up together, and today, I\'m popular because I\'m deaf. Kids try hard to communicate with me."Some things are very difficult forthe two boys. "We can\'t talk on the phone. so if we need help, we can\'t call an emergency service," German signs. "and we can\'t orcerfood in a drive - thru."Despite their difficulties, the two boys have found work putting food in bags at a local supermarket. They got their jobs through a "workability" program designed forteenagers from local schools with different types of learning disabilities.German has worked in the supermarket since August, and Orlando started in November."The other people who work here have been very nice to us," Orlando signs. "They even sign sometimes. At first, we were nervous, but we\'ve learned a lot and we\'re getting better.The opportunity to earn money has been exciting, both boys said. After high school, they hope to attend the National Technical Institute forthe deaf in New York.Both boys are happy to ____.【单选题】

7、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 ______, so it is not easy forthem to plan ahead with great confidence. This is to be expected 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.investment
B.strike
C.contract
D.duty
正确答案:C
答案解析:空格所在句的上一句是最后一段的主题句。接着应该是具体说明。空格所在的句子就是具体说明。大概意思是:他们差不多总是根据合同约定工作,因而不大可能很有信心地超前安排。“合同”在英语中用“contract”表达。
8、Longer Lives Are Happier Lives1 In recent years, scientists have been studying ways to change the body\'s chemistry to reduce the signs and effects of aging.2 0negroupof researchers in Britain has performed experiments on a kind of worm. They have managed to increase the worm\'s normal life span of 20 days by up to 400%. They hope that they will be able to use this research to help humans live longer. However, this is a long way in the future. Another disadvantage is that when (orif) the new technology is successfully developed, it will probably be very expensive. The chance to live longer will only be available to a very few, very rich people.3 Anothergroupof scientists is studying people who have reached a very old age. They believe that this may show what has kept these people healthy and alive forso long. So, if we look at people who have lived into very old age, what do they have in common? Usually they have led a physically active life. This does not mean going to a gym orrunning ten miles every day. Simple, enjoyable activities like walking seem to be more likely to keep you healthy. Very old people also eat a good, varied diet. Simple foods like vegetable, rice, pasta and fish are the best.4 However, there may be one thing even more important than physical factors like diet and exercise. Research shows that personality, and the way a person thinks, play an important part in how long they will live. People who live into very old age always seem to enjoy life. They have a sense of humorand get satisfaction from simple things. They do not constantly think about the past, but are interested in the present and the future. They do not let life get boring, but have interests and hobbies which keep their minds active and they are open to new ideas. One Japanese man who lived to be 120 commented that the secret of his long life was "not worrying". To express it simply, people who are happy and positive about life are more likely to live longer.5 So, eat well, exercise well, and enjoy life, and you will have a good chance of living to a healthy, happy old age.Paragraph 3 ____【单选题】
A.How to live happy old age
B.Disadvantages of the project
C.The study of old people
D.Personality and other mental factors are more important
E.Worms live longer than humans
F.Live simple lives
