(2)These people have more work than they can handle and their annual incomes are often higher than those of college graduates.The old distinction that white-collar workers make a better living than blue-collar workers longer holds true.The reason for this situation is the traditional myth that a college degree is a passport to bright future.Parents begin telling their children this myth before they are out of school.Under this pressure the kids fall in line .Whether they want to go to college or not doesnt matter.Evverbody should go tl college.One result of this emphasis on a collete education is that many people go to college who do not belong there.Of the sixty percent of high school graduates who enter collete,half of them do not graduate with their class.Many of them drop out within the first year.Some struggle on for two or three years and then givp up.部分我阅读理解使用方法:有三十通道在这部分。每个通道紧随其后的是一些问题或未完成的语句。对于他们中的每一个有四个选项标志着A,B,C,D,你应该决定他们的最佳选择。马克在答题纸上把你的答案同一行,通过该中心。通道1美国劳工部统计数据表明,过量的学院训练工人和这种供应过剩正在增加。已经有太多的教师、工程师、物理学家和其他专家。但学院和研究生schers继续每年将我们受过高度训练的人们就业竞争力,没有。(1)的结果是,毕业生不能进入他们被训练的职业,必须采取临时工作,不需要大学学历。这些“临时”工作,也往往成为永久性的。另一方面,三是一个巨大的需要对熟练工人的各种木工、电工、机械:,和电视修理工。(2)这些人有更多的工作要比他们可以处理和他们的年度收入往往高于大学毕业生。旧的区别,白领工人做一个更好的生活比蓝领工人不再适用。这种情况的原因是传统的神话,一个大学学位是一个护照,光明的未来。父母告诉他们的孩子开始这个神话在他们离开学校。在这样的压力下孩子们一致。他们是否想上大学或者并不重要。Evverbody应该去tl学院。结果之一强调一个collete教育是,很多人去学院不属于那里。百分之六十的高中毕业生进入collete,其中一半不毕业,他们的类。他们中的许多人在第一年内退学。一些挣扎在两到三年,然后givp起来。1.The U.S.Department of Labor statistics shows that .A.many college graduates find it increasingly hard to get suitable jobsB.there is an oversupply of workers and this oversupply is recently increasingC.teachers,engineers,physicists and other specialists are extremely needed2.What does the author mean by sayin,“These temporaryjobs have a habit of becoming permanent”?A.Once college graduates take a temporary job,they soon get used to it.B.College gradrates have the habit of taking temporary jobs.C.Many college graduates might never find jobs for which they are trained.D.College graduates might never find jobs for which they are trained.3.We can conclude from the the passage that in the past .A.blue-collar workers worked harder than white-collar workesB.white-collar works had little difficulty getting good jobsC.there were more white-collar workers than boue-collar workersD.colleges and graduate schools trined more skilled workers than now4.It is impoied in the last paragraph that .A.many people do not have fit for college educationB.many people are not fit for college educationC.many college students drop out in the first yearD.many college students are bored of their education5.Which of the following statements is true?A.Every young man and woman should go to college if possible.B.College education has become worse and worse in recent years.C.People with a college education should receive a higher pay.D.Fewer students should go to college but more be trained for skilled jobs.1。美国劳工部数据显示。一个。许多大学毕业生发现越来越难以得到合适的工作B。过量的工人和这种供应过剩是最近增加C。教师、工程师、物理学家和其他专家是非常需要的2。什么是作者指的歌词,“这些临时职位,也往往成为永久的”?一个。一旦接受临时工作的大学毕业生,他们很快就会习惯的。B。大学gradrates已经采取临时工作的习惯。C。许多大学毕业生可能永远也找不到工作,他们被训练。d。大学毕业生可能永远也找不到工作,他们被训练。3。我们可以得出的通道,在过去。一个。蓝领工人努力比白领附件B。白领工作没有什么困难找份好工作C。有更多的白领工人比boue-collar工人d。学院和研究生院比现在更熟练工人拱4。它是在最后一段,impoied。一个。许多人没有适合的大学教育B。许多人不适合大学教育C。许多大学生在第一年辍学d。许多大学生无聊的教育5。下列哪个陈述是正确的?一个。每一个年轻男人和女人如果可能的话应该去上大学。B。大学教育已成为近年来越来越糟。C。大学教育的人应该得到更高的薪水。d。更少的学生应该去上大学,但更被训练为技术性的工作。Passage2All of us communicate with one another nonverbally,as well as with words.Most of the time,we are not aware that we are doing it.We gesture with eyebrows or a hand,meet someone elses eyes and look away,change positions in a chair,These avtions we assume are occasional.However in recent years reserchers have discovered that there is a system to them almost as consistent and understandable as language.One important kind of body oanguage is eye behavior. (1)Americans are careful about how and when they meet one anothers eyes.In our normal conversation,each eye contact only about a second before one or both of us look away. When two Americans look searchingly into each others eyes,they become more intimate.Therefore, we carefully avoid this, except in suitable situation.Researchers who are engaged in the study of communication through body movement are not prepared to spell out a precise vocabulary of gestures.When an American rubs his nose ,it may mean he is disagreeing with someone or refusing something .But there are other possible explanations,too.Another example:when a student in conversation with a professor holds the older mans eyes a little longer than is usual,it can be a sign of respect;it can be a challenge to the professors authority;it can be something else entirely. The researchers look for patterns in the situation,not for a s eparate meaningful gesture.(2)Communication between human beings would be just dull if it were all done with words.Passage2我们互相沟通力,以及与单词。大多数时候,我们没有意识到我们正在做它。我们用眉毛或手,满足别人的眼睛,把目光移开,改变立场在椅子上,这些avtions我们假设是偶然的。然而近年来研究人员发现,有一个系统,他们几乎是一致的和可以理解的,因为语言。一个重要类型的身体oanguage是眼睛的行为。(1)美国人都十分小心,当他们满足彼此的眼睛。在我们平常的谈话中,每一个眼神接触只有大约一秒钟前一个或我们两个转移目光。当两个美国人探究地望着彼此的眼睛,他们变得更加亲密。因此,我们仔细地避免这一点,除了在合适的情况。研究人员从事这项研究的通信通过肢体运动不准备拼出一个精确的词汇的手势。当一个美国揉他的鼻子,这可能意味着他不同意某人或拒绝的东西。但是还有其他可能的解释,太。另一个例子:当一个学生与教授交谈着老人的眼睛一会儿比平常,它可以表示尊重;它可以是一个挑战权威的教授的;它可以完全无关的事情。研究人员寻找模式的情况,而不是一个年代eparate有意义的手势。(2)人类之间的交流将只是枯燥如果它都完成了的话。1.In researchersview,body language .A.can be understood and used by people in communicationB.is more important than spoken language in communicationC.has been discovered in recent yearsD.is the study of communication through body movements2.The word “intimate”(Para.2)could probably be replaced by .A.great B.close C.good D.important3.We can conclude from the passage that you make an American people uncomfortable if you .A.meet his eyesB.avoid meeting his eyesC.stare into his eyes for one secondD.look into his eyes for a long time4.It can be inferred from the third paragraph that .A.researchers explain the meaning of a gesture according to the situation in which it is usedB.researchers believe that one gesture has only one meaningC.researchers think that one gesture can not be uses in different situationsD.researchers liik for patterns in textbooks to explain the meaning of a gesture5.Which of the following sentences best expresses the main idea of the passage?A.Study of communication through body movement is a new science.B.Body movements are as important as words in communication.C.All of us communicate with one another.D.Eye behavior is the most important part in

say chikldren can begin learning a second language in preschool,and should begin before the age of ten to take advantage of young childrens natural to avquire language.This advantage is lost by the time most children encounter a foreign language in the classroom.in middle school or high school.Dr.Noble Goss,an assistant professor of Spanish and German at Harding University in Arkansas,says,as a father of bilingual children (My wife is Mexican),I know that not only it is easy for children to learn one or more language,but they have an amazing way of separating them out more successfully than you would think.If a child hears two languages early,he accepts both equally.But if buven a chance to speak both,can they be fluent in both?Not everyone agrees that early childhood is the only time to start a language,however.Reeves,the chairman and founder of the Center for Performance Assessment in Denver,Colorado,points to the Defense Language Institutes success at training adult students to speak other language fluently.The frequently quoted argument that post-adolescence is too late to acquire foreign language skills is still a myty,says Reeves.(2)Still, if children are going to devote the six years or so of study it takes to master a second language,starting early just makes sense.passage3(1)专家说chikldren可以开始学习第二语言在幼儿园,应该开始在10岁前利用年轻孩子的自然avquire语言。这种优势是失去了大多数的孩子遇到一个外国语言在教室里。在初中或高中。罗勃博士戈斯助理教授,西班牙和德国在哈丁大学在阿肯色州,说,作为一个父亲的双语儿童(我妻子是墨西哥),我知道不仅很容易儿童学习一个或更多的语言,但他们有一个神奇的方式分离出来会比你想象的更成功。如果一个孩子听到两种语言的早期,他接受同等。但如果buven都发言的机会,他们能流利的吗?不是每个人都同意,儿童早期是唯一的时候开始一种语言,然而。里夫斯,董事长和创始人性能评估中心在科罗拉多州丹佛市,指向国防语言学院的成功在训练成人学生讲其他的语言流利。经常被引用的说法太迟后青春期收购外国语言技能仍然是一个myty,Reeves说。(2)不过,如果孩子们要花六年左右的研究需要掌握第二语言的早期开始就有意义。1.Experts

earth we live is a ball of very hot rock.It is good for us that the outside shiell is cold .If it were not.no one could live here.What if our earth were only as big as an egg?Then the outside part would be as deep as the eggs shell.The earths shell has cracks in it in some places.In New Zealand,this shell seems to have more cracks than in other places on the earth.There are spots where the ground is so hot that it bottom of your shoes.In some places,hot water shoots into the air from time to time.At other points,you can see steam coming up from pools of hot water.(1)The people who live in North Island,New Zealand,make use of the heat that comes from inside the earth.Many people bring the hot water from below the earth into their houses.They do this by putting a pipe a hundred feet or more into the ground,In this way they get hot water and steam for cooking and washing, for heating their homes.For most of us,the heat under our feet is too far away to use.We must make our heat by burning coal,oil or gas.The people who get heat from inside the earth are lucky.(2)It takes money to pay for the coal,oil and gas.passage4我们生活的地球是一个球很热的岩石。它对我们是有益的,外面的shiell是冷的。如果它不是。没有人可以住在这里。如果我们的地球只是和鸡蛋一样大吗?然后外面的部分将深达鸡蛋壳。地球的外壳有裂缝在它在一些地方。在新西兰,这个shell似乎比在其他地方更裂缝在地上。有什么地方地面太热,它底部的你的鞋子。在一些地方,热水喷射到空中时间。在其他的点,你可以看到蒸汽来从池热水。(1)人住在北岛、新西兰,利用热量,来自地球内部。许多人把热水从下面地球进入他们的房子。他们通过把一个管一百英尺或更多的向地面,这样他们得到热水和蒸汽做饭和洗衣、加热他们的家园。对于我们大多数人来说,热量在我们的脚下是太远使用。我们必须使我们的热量通过燃烧煤、石油和天然气。那些得到热量从地球内部是幸运的。(2)它需要钱来支付的煤、石油和天然气。1.It

5(1)Traditionally,universities have carried out two main activities;research and teaching.carried out two main activities;research and teaching.Many experts would argue that both these activities play a critical role serving the community.The fundamental question,howver is:how does the community want or need to be served?In recent years universities have been coming under increasing pressure from both the governments and the public to ensure that they do not remain“ivory towers”of study separated from the realities of everyday life.University teachers have been encouraged,and in some cases constrained,to provide more courses which produce graduates with the technical skills required for the commercial use.If Aristotle wanted to work in a university in the UK today,he would have a good chance of teaching computer science but would not be so readily employable as a philosopher.A post-industrial society requires large numbers of computer programmers,engineers,managers and technicians to maintain and develop its economic growth but “man”,as the Bible says,“Does not live by bread alone.”(2)Apart from requiring medical and social services, which do not directly contribute to economic growth,the society shoulda also value and enjoy literature,music and the arts.In these cost-conscious times,it has even been pointed out in justification for the funding of the arts that they can be useful money earners.A successful musical play,for instance,can contribute as much to the Gross National Product through tourist dollars as any other things.通道5(1)“传统上,大学已经进行了两个主要活动;研究和教学。进行了两个主要活动;研究和教学。许多专家认为这两个活动中起着至关重要的作用服务社区。基本的问题,不过是:社区如何想要或需要服务吗?近年来高校一直面临越来越大的压力来自政府和公众,以确保他们不保持“象牙塔”的研究脱离日常生活的现实。大学教师一直鼓励,在某些情况下限制,提供更多的课程产生与技术所需的技能的毕业生的商业使用。如果想要在亚里斯多德大学今天在英国,他会有一个很好的机会电脑教学,但不容易就业作为一个哲学家。一个后工业社会需要大量的计算机程序员、工程师、经理和技术人员维护和发展其经济增长,但“人”,圣经上说,“并不是单靠吃面包过活。”(2)除了需要医疗和社会服务,不直接导致经济的增长,社会应该也值和享受文学、音乐和艺术。在这些注重节省成本的时候,它甚至被指出在理由资助艺术,他们可能有用的利润。一个成功的音乐剧,例如,可以贡献一样的国民生产总值通过旅游美元其他任何事情。1.Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the first paragraph?A.Traditional universities do a good job serving the society.B.Universities must meet the needs of the society.C.Research and teaching are of great importance in universities.D.Universities play an important role in our society.2.It can be inferred from the second paragraph that .A.the society is not satisfied with the present collge educationB.the governments interfere too much with college educationC.teacher are forced to do what they dont like to doD.teachers dislike teaching commercially useful courses3.The purpose of citing Aristotle as an example is to make the point that .A.universities in the UK have produced too many good-for-nothing graduatesB.such abstract subjects as philosophy is no longer usefulC.education should serve the social needsD.it is advisable for todays philosophers to know computer science4.According to the writer,literature,music and the arts .A.do no
