For each of them there are 4 choices marked A,B,C and D. You should decide on the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sh

36、eet.Passage 1Shoron Keating was worried about her kids when she got a divorce. Her daughter says, “ I was feeling like down and sad even though I didnt really show it.Judith Wallerstein says problems from divorce can last many years. They can show up when the kids are adults. And the kids have their

37、 own trouble. Wallerstein studied 93 children over a generation. The results can be found in her book.She says that children of divorce are more likely to have problems with drugs. They are far more likely to seek therapy. About 40 percent of them avoid marriage themselves. When they do marry, fail

38、at nearly twice the usual rate. It is hard for them to trust. They are afraid of failing.Critics say Wallerstein had too few children in her study. They think that Wallerstein stresses too much from a small study. Other things may be the cause of the kids problem. The study does not compare kids fro

39、m divorced families with kids from “healthy” families.Wallersteins families divorced a generation ago. Times have changed. People feel different about divorce. Today programs like Kids Turn try to reduce some of the effects of divorce with family advice. Talking about their feelings helps the kids g

40、et though it. Since they know more about the problem, maybe the kids will be able to handle it.71. Which word can best describe the kids from divorced families according to Paragraph 1?A. Offensive B. Relieved C. Depressed D. Prejudiced72. Children from divorced families who marry later will _.A. ha

41、ve no trust in other peopleB. be more likely to get divorcedC. firmly protect their marriageD. have stable marriage 73. Wallersteins study showed that _.A. divorce left the children with many problemsB. all the problems showed up right after the divorceC. divorce could be avoidedD. divorce is the on

42、ly cause of children mature earlier 74. Which of the following is critics opinion?A. Healthy families do not have problems.B. All the related factors were considered in the study.C.

43、rom divorced families_.A. have no more problemsB. are getting more care and helpC. are less able to handle their problemsD. are told not to talk about their problemsPassage 2In the past, people who graduated from college felt proud of their academic achievements and confident that their degree would

44、 help them to find a good job.However, in the past four years the job market has changed dramatically. This years college graduates are facing one of the worst job markets. For example, Ryan Stewart, a graduate of san Jose State University, got a degree in religious studies, but he has not gotten an

45、y job offers. He points out that many people already working are getting laid off and dont have jobs, so its even harder for new college graduates to find jobs.Four years ago, the future looked bright for his class of 2006. There were many high-tech (“dotcom”) job opportunities, graduates received m

46、any job offers, and they were able to get jobs with high salaries and benefits such as health insurance and paid vacations. However, “Times have changed. Its a new market.” according to an officer of the university.The officer says students who do find jobs started preparing two years ago. They work

47、ed during summer vacations, they have had several short-time jobs, and they majored in fields that are still paying well, such as accounting or nursing.Even teaching is not a secure profession now. Ryan Stewart wanted to be a teacher, but instead he will probably go back to school in order to become

48、 a college teacher. He thinks college teaching could be a good career even in a bad economy.In conclusion, these days a college degree does not automatically lead to a good job with a high salary. Some students can only hope that the value of their degree will increase in the future.66. What did a c

49、ollege degree mean to people in the past?A. It was a proof of their professional skills.B. It would guarantee their quick promotion.C. It built up their confidence in the job market.D.

50、 many graduates of his majorB. he wants to find a job with very high salaryC. he has not received a degree in the universityD. the job market has changed greatly since 200268. According to the passage, _ had the best job prospects in 2002.A. computer science B. accounting C. teaching D. nursing69. W

51、hy does Ryan Stewart want to be a college teacher?A. Teaching jobs are well-paid.B. He majored in teaching in the university.C. College teaching is less challenging than high-tech jobs.D. College teaching career wont be influenced by economy.70. It can be concluded from the passage that _.A. the val

52、ue of a college degree has decreased now.B. new college graduates today cant find jobs.C. a college degree can still lead to a good job.D. graduates must prepare early to find jobs.Passage 3The water we drink and use is running short in the world. We all have to learn how to stop wasting our limited

53、 water. One of the steps we should take is to find ways of reusing it. Experiments have already been done in this field.Today in most large cities, fresh water is used only once, then it runs into waste system. But it is possible to pipe the used water to a purifying factory. There it can be filtere

54、d and treated with chemicals so that it can be used again, just as it were fresh from a spring.But even if every large city purified and reused its water, we still would not have enough. Then we could turn to the oceans. All wed have to do to make use of the seawater on earth is to get rid of the sa

55、lt. This process is called desalinization, and it is already in use in many parts of the world.61. The way to stop wasting our limited water is to _.A. do experiments with water B. purify the used water and reuse itC. use fresh water once again D. make use of seawater62. The following tells us how t

56、o reuse the used water. Which is the right order of the passage?A. to have the used water filtered B. to put chemicals in itC. to pipe it to the users D. to pipe the used water to be purified to a factory63. There wouldnt be enough water for us if we didnt _.A. turn to the oceans for more water B. r

57、euse used water and make use of seawaterC. desalt seawater D. take steps to reuse all water on earth64. The word “it” in the last sentence refers to _.A. seawater B. purified waterC. the process of getting rid of the salt in seawaterD. the process of collecting salt from the sea oceans65. The best t

58、itle for the passage is “_”.A. How to Reuse WaterB. Two Solutions to the Problem of Water ShortageC. Stop Wasting Our Limited WaterD. How to Make Use of SeawaterPassage 4It is still sometimes difficult to understand why those between ages 10 and 18 would endanger their lives by joining armed forces

59、or rebel groups and become fighting soldiers. The recently published book, Young Soldier, Why They Choose to Fight By Rachel Brett and Irma Specht, tries to find an answer.There is no doubt that children fight in most armed conflicts today. While international attention focuses largely on those who

60、are forced into battles, thousands more enlist (应征入伍) voluntarily.In an attempt to to understand the young who take up arms, Brett and Specht interviewed 53 boy and girl soldiers and ex-soldiers from around the world, Afghanistan , Colombia, the Republic of the Congo for example. All interviewees we

61、re involved with armed forces or armed groups before the age of 18 and all classified themselves as volunteers.What these two field officers heard is “I joined involuntarily- if you have nothing, you volunteer for the army”. Other reasons young people gave are self- defense, revenge, poverty, and unemployment.But while it is common knowledge that most child soldiers come from poor and disadvantaged backgrounds, Young
