That would be up from 114,000 in September, but would 41 short of what is needed to quickly cut the jobless rate.Indeed, economists expect the unemployment rate a key 42 in the neck-and-neck race for the White House to tick up by a tenth of a percentage point to 7.9 percent, reversing part of a surprise drop seen in September.The Labor Departments closely watched report, which will be 43 at 8:30 a.m. (12:30 GMT) on Friday, will be the last 44 report card on the economy before Tuesdays presidential election, which pits (使竞争）President Obama against Republican Mitt Romney.If economists are right, it will show the eighth straight month of dull job growth, a worrisome 45 that would likely reinforce the Federal Reserves resolve to keep easy money policies in place until the economy shows more vigor.The weakness in overall economic growth momentum has 46 into the last quarter of the year, said Millan Mulraine, an economist at TD Securities in New York.Romney has made the nations feeble jobs market, which has caused Obama a lot of trouble since he took office in 2009, the centerpiece of his 47 .

Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Although one might not think so from some of the criticism of it, advertising is essential to the kind of society in which people in the United Kingdom, and a very _50_ proportion of the world at large, live. Advertising is necessary as a _51_ of communicating with others, of telling them about the goods and services that are offered, and of which most of them would never _52_ to hear at all if it were not for advertising. And advertising helps a great deal to promote a _53_ standard of living.In talking about advertising, one should not think only _54_ a commercial on television, or an advertisement in the newspapers or periodicals. In its widest _55_ , advertising includes a host of other _56_ such as packaging, shop displays and in the sense of communication even the spoken word of the salesman. _57_ , the roots of advertising are to be found in the market place.For many years it was thought that it was enough to _58_ goods and supply services, h is only more _59_ that it has become increasingly understood that the production of goods is a waste of resources _60_ those goods can be sold at a fair price within a _61_ time span. In the competitive society in which we live, it is essential that we go out and sell what we have to offer, and advertising plays an important role in this respect, whether selling at home or in _62_ markets. Approximately 2 percent of the UK gross national product is spent on advertising. But it must not be thought that this advertising tries to sell goods to consumers who do not want them. Of course, advertising does try to attract the interest of the _63_ consumer, but if the articles when _64_ does not match up to the standards that the advertising suggests that it will, it is obviously exceedingly unlikely that the article will sell well.50.A.enjoyableB.considerableC.agreeableD.knowledgeable51.A.dataB.proportionC.meansD.messages52.A.getB.putC.findD.avoid53.A.demandingB.raisingC.creatingD.rising54.A.in honor ofB.in case ofC.in terms ofD.in favor of55.A.senseB.sureC.levelD.extent56.A.conferencesB.activitiesC.mattersD.actions57.A.Of allB.And allC.Among allD.After all58.A.protestB.programC.processD.produce59.A.quicklyB.immediatelyC.recentlyD.totally60.A.unlessB.thoughC.untilD.when61.A. inevitableB.comfortableC.reasonableD.available62.A. countryB.importC.jobsD.export63.A. financialB.potentialC.essentialD.social64.A. presentedB.purchasedC.respondedD.respectedSection BDirections: Read the following three passages.

The first is the sort of brain he is born with. Human brains differ considerably, some being more capable than others. But no matter how good a brain he has to begin with, an individual will have a low order of intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn. So the second factor is what happens to the individual 一 the sort of environment in which he is reared. If an individual is handicapped environmentally, it is likely that his brain will fail to develop and he will never attain the level of intelligence of which he is capable.The importance of environment in determining an individuals intelligence can be demonstrated by the case history of the identical twins, Peter and Mark. Being identical, the twins had identical brains at birth, and their growth processes were the same. When the twins were three months old, their parents died, and they were placed in separate foster homes. Peter was reared by parents of low intelligence in an isolated community with poor educational opportunities. Mark was reared in the home of well-to-do parents who had been to college. He was read to as a child, sent to good schools, and given every opportunity to be stimulated intellectually. This environmental difference continued until the twins were in their teens, when they were given tests to measure their intelligence. Marks I.Q. was 125, twenty-five points higher than the average and fully forty points higher than his identical brother. Given equal opportunities, the twins, having identical brains, would have tested at roughly the same level.69. According to the passage, the average I.Q. is _.A. 85 B. 100 C. 110 D. 125 70. This passage suggests that an individuals I.Q. _. A. can be predicted at birth B. is inherited from his parentsC. stays the same throughout his life D. can be increased by education 71. This selection can best be titled_. A. Measuring Your Intelligence B. Intelligence and Environment C. The Case of Peter and Mark D. How the brain Influences Intelligence (C)At some time in your life you may have a strong desire to do something strange or terrible. However, chances are that you dont act on your impulse, but let it pass instead. You know that to commit the action is wrong in some way and that other people will not accept your behavior.Perhaps the most interesting thing about the phenomenon of taboo (禁忌的) behavior is how it can change over the years within the same society, how certain behavior and attitudes once c
