important to learn particular skills and practice how to behave in an interview or how to find all internship(实习)In some countries，schools have programs to help students onto the path to work.In the Unites States，however，such programs are still few and far between.Research shows that if high schools provide careerrelated 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 criticized education reformers for trying to place all graduates directly on the fouryear college track.Schwartz argued that this approach leaves the countrys most vulnerable 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 careerbased courses.The school then helps them gain onthejob 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 dauntingIn the US，unemployment rates for 16to 19yearolds 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.41In the authors opinion，American high school leavers _Ahave enough careerrelated coursesBneed more career advice from their schoolsCperform better in exams than German studentsDcan get higher earnings in later years 42According to Robert Schwartz，_Athere is no need for kids to go for higher education in the USBstudents should get contact with the working world at high schoolCeducation reform should focus on students performance in examsDteenagers in the US cant miss out on the summer job experience43What can be inferred from the text?AUnemployment rates for US teenagers remain high at the moment.BStudents with careerbased courses never have problems finding a job.CUS companies work with schools to prepare young people for future employment.DHigh school leavers with no practical skills cant find a job absolutely.44Whats the main idea of the text?AArguments about recent US education reform.BTips on finding jobs for high school leavers.CThe lack of careerbased courses in US high schools.DAdvice for American high school leavers.45The underlined word “daunting” in Paragraph 6 most probably means _Adiscouraging Binteresting Ccreative DunbearableCMany people think that listening is a passive business.It is just the opposite.Listening well is an active exercise of our attention and hard work.It is because they do not realize this，or because they are not willing to do the work，that most people do not listen well.Listening well also requires total concentration upon someone else.An essential part of listening well is the rule known as bracketingBracketing includes the temporary giving up or setting aside of your own prejudices and desires，to experience as far as possible someone elses world from the inside，stepping_into_his_or_her_shoesMoreover，since listening well involves bracketing，it also involves a temporary acceptance of the other person.Sensing this acceptance，the speaker will seem quite willing to open up the inner part of his or her mind to the listener.True communication is under way and the energy required for listening well is so great that it can be accomplished only by the will to extend oneself for mutual growth.Most of the time we lack this energy.Even though we may feel in our business dealings or social relationships that we are listening well，what we are usually doing is listening selectively.Often we have a prepared list in mind and wonder，as we listen，how we can achieve certain desired results to get the conversation over as quickly as possible or redirected in ways more satisfactory to us.Many of us are far more interested in talking than in listening，or we simply refuse to listen to what we dont want to hear.It wasnt until toward the end of my doctor career that I have found the knowledge that one is being truly listened to is frequently therapeutic(有疗效的)In about a quarter of the patients I saw，surprising improvement was shown during the first few months of psychotherapy(心理疗法)，before any of the roots of problems had been uncovered or explained.There are several reasons for this phenomenon，but chief among them，I believe，was the patients sense that he or she was being truly listened to，often for the first time in years，and for some，perhaps for the first time ever.The phrase “stepping into his or her shoes” in Paragraph 2 probably means _ Aexperiencing the speakers inside world Bdirecting the talk to the desired resultsCfocusing on ones own mind Dpreparing a topic list firstWhat is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2?AWhat to listen to. BProblems in listening.CHow to listen well. DBenefits of listening.According to the author，in communication people tend to _Aopen up their inner mindBset aside their prejudicesClisten actively Dlisten purposefullyAccording to the author，the patients improved mainly because_Athey had partners to talk toBthey knew the roots of problemsCthey knew they were truly listened toDthey were taken good care ofWhat type of writing the article likely to be?APopular science.

DA medical report.Part Writing(45 marks)Section A(10 marks)Directions：Read the following passage.Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Have you had difficulty communicating an idea in the past? Is it an easy task to talk with others? Most people would agree that communication between two individuals should be simple.Its important to remember that talking and communicating are different. When you communicate，you are successful in getting your point across. When you talk, you tend to build barriers that hinder communication. Here are some of the barriers to effective communication. Physical barriers are easy to spot. Doors that are closed, walls that are built, and distance between people all work against the effective communication. While most agree that people need their own personal areas in the workplace, setting up an office to remove physical barriers is the first step to open communication. Perceptual(感知的)barriers are internal.If you go into a situation where the person you are talking to isnt interested in what you have to say, you may end up subconsciously abandoning your effort to make your point. Different cultures can hold back the development of communication if two different cultures conflict. In these cases, it is important to find common ground to work from. Language barriers seem natural, but there are often hidden language barriers. If you work in an industry that is heavy on technical terms, you should avoid these words when speaking with laypersons(外行)in your field. Gender barriers have become less of an issue in recent years, but it is still possible for a man to misunderstand the words of a woman, or vice versa. Men and women tend to form their thoughts differently, and this must be taken into account when communicating. Communication is not a oneway street. By overcoming these barriers, you can ensure that the statement you are making can be heard and understood by the person you are speaking with.In this way, you can be confident that your point has been expressed.Title：Barriers to 51._ 52._between talking and communicating 53._ in letting others know your point when communicating Being likely to make communication 54._ when talking55._Physical 56._ an office to remove physical barriers is the first step to open communication.PerceptualThe ones showing little interest in your words means an end to the communication.57._Finding no common ground to deal with the situation in two cultures conflictLanguage Avoiding using the 58._ when communicating with laypersons in your field GenderDifferent ways of thinking causing 59._ between men and women60._*Being determined to overcome the barriers*Communicating effectivelySection
