interview or how to find all internships(实习).In some countries,schools have programs to help students onto the path to work.In the United States,however,such programs are still few and far between.Research shows that if high schools provide career-related courses,students are likely to get higher earnings in later years.The students are more likely to stay in school,graduate and go on to higher education.In Germany,students as young as 13 and 14 are expected to do internships.German companies work with schools to make sure that young people get the education they need for future employment.But in America,education reform programs focus on how well students do in exams instead of bringing them into contact with the working world.Harvard Education school professor Robert Schwartz has criticised education reformers for trying to place all graduates directly on the four-year college track.Schwartz argued that this approach leaves the countrys most vulnerable(易受影响的)kids with no jobs and no skills.Schwartz believed that the best career programs encourage kids to go for higher education while also teaching them valuable practical skills at high school.James Madison High School in New York,for example,encourages students to choose classes on career-based courses.The school then helps them gain on-the-job experience in those fields while theyre still at high school.However,even for teens whose schools encourage them to connect with work,the job market is daunting.In the US,unemployment rates for 16-to-19-year-olds are above 20 percent for the third summer in a row.“The risk is that if teenagers miss out on the summer job experience,they become part of this generation of teens who had trouble in landing a job,” said Michael,a researcher in the US.1.According to Robert Schwartz,.A.there is no need for kids to go for higher education in the USB.students should get contact with the working world at high schoolC.education reform should focus on students performance in examsD.teenagers in the US cant miss out on the summer job experience答案:B解析:细节理解题。根据第五段内容及第六段的“.evenforteenswhoseschoolsencouragethemtoconnectwithwork,thejobmarketisdaunting.”可以看出答案。2.What can be inferred from the text?A.Unemployment rates for US teenagers remain high at the moment.B.Students with career-based courses never have problems finding a job.C.US companies work with schools to prepare young people for future employment.D.High school leavers with no practical skills cant find a job absolutely.答案:A解析:推理判断题。根据第六段的“IntheUS,unemploymentratesfor16-to-19-year-oldsareabove20percentforthethirdsummerinarow.”一句可推出答案。3.Whats the main idea of the text?A.Arguments about recent US education reform.B.Tips on finding jobs for high school leavers.C.The lack of career-based courses in US high schools.D.Advice for American high school leavers.答案:C解析:主旨大意题。文章第一段的“Insomecountries,schoolshaveprogramstohelpstudentsontothepathtowork.IntheUnitedStates,however,suchprogramsarestillfewandfarbetween.”点出了主题。4.The underlined word “daunting” in Paragraph 6 most probably means .A.discouragingB.interestingC.creativeD.unbearable答案:A解析:词义猜测题。从下文的“IntheUS,unemploymentratesfor16-to-19-year-oldsareabove20percentforthethirdsummerinarow.”可知,就业市场不容乐观,故选A项。五、七选五阅读理解HowtoSurviveHighSchoolHigh
