15、to 61 are based on the following passage. As you are probably aware, the latest job markets news isnt good: Unemployment is still more than 9 percent, and new job growth has fallen close to zero. Thats bad for the economy, of course. And it may be especially discouraging if you happen to be looking

16、for a job or hoping to change careers right now. But it actually shouldnt matter to you nearly as much as you think. Thats because job growth numbers dont matter to job hunters as much as job turnover (人员更替) data. After all, existing jobs open up every day due to promotions, resignations, terminatio

17、ns(解雇), and retirements. (Yes, people are retiring even in this economy.) In both good times and bad, turnover creates more openings than economic growth does. Even in June of 2007, when the economy was still moving ahead, job growth was only 132,000, while turnover was 4.7 million! And as it turns

18、out, even today with job growth near zero over 4 million job hunters are being hired every month. I dont mean to imply that overall job growth doesnt have an impact on ones ability to land a job. Its true that if total employment were higher, it would mean more jobs for all of us to choose from (and

19、 compete for). And its true that there are currently more people applying for each available job opening, regardless of whether its a new one or not. But what often distinguishes those who land jobs from those who dont is their ability to stay motivated. Theyre willing to do the hard work of identif

20、ying their valuable skills; be creative about where and how to look; learn how to present themselves to potential employers; and keep going, even after repeated rejections. The Bureau of Labor Statistics data shows that 2.7 million people who wanted and were available for work hadnt looked within th

21、e last four weeks and were no longer even classified as unemployed. So dont let the headlines fool you into giving up.

So it makes sense that the elderly should be routinely screened for new tumors or doesnt it? While such vigilant(警觉的)tracking

26、of cancer is a good thing in general, researchers are increasingly questioning whether all of this testing is necessary for the elderly. With the percentage of people over age 65 expected to nearly double by 2050, its important to weigh the health benefits of screening against the risks and costs of

27、 routine testing. In many cases, screening can lead to surgeries to remove cancer, while the cancers themselves may be slow-growing and may not pose serious health problems in patients remaining years. But the message that everyone must screen for cancer has become so deep-rooted that when health ca

28、re experts recommended that women under 50 and over 74 stop screening for breast cancer, it caused a riotous reaction among doctors, patients and advocacy groups. Its hard to uproot deeply held beliefs about cancer screening with scientific data. Certainly, there are people over age 75 who have had

29、cancers detected by routine screening, and gained several extra years of life because of treatment. And clearly, people over age 75 who have other risk factors for cancer, such as a family history or prior personal experience with the disease, should continue to get screened regularly. But for the r

30、emainder, the risk of cancer, while increased at the end of life, must be balanced with other factors like remaining life expectancy(预期寿命). A recent study suggests that doctors start to make more objective decisions about who will truly benefit from screening- especially considering the explosion of

31、 the elderly that will soon swell our population. Its not an easy calculation to make, but one that makes sense for all patients. Dr. Otis Brawley said, “Many doctors are ordering screening tests purely to cover themselves. We need to think about the rational use of health care. That means making so

32、me difficult decisions with elderly patients, and going against the misguided belief that when it comes to health care, more is always better. 注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。 62.
