二、阅读理解(11-30)

No one knows how man learned to make words. Perhaps he began by making sounds like

those made by animals. Perhaps he granted like a pig when he lifted something heavy. Perhaps he made sounds like those he heard all round him water splashing, bees humming, a stone falling to the ground. Somehow he learned to make words. As the centuries went by, he made more and more new words. This is what we mean by language.

People living in different countries made different kinds of words. Today there are about fif-teen hundred different languages in the world. Each contains many thousands of words. A very large English dictionary, for example, contains four or five hundred thousand words. But we do not need all these. Only a few thousand words are used in everyday life.

The words you know are called your vocabulary. You should try to make your vocabulary big-ger. Read as many books as you can. There are plenty of books written in easy English for you toread. You will enjoy them. When you meet a new word, find it in your dictionary. Your dictiona-ry is your most useful book.

"High tech" and "state of the art" are two expressions that describe the modem technology.

High tech is just a shorter way of saying high technology. And high technology describes any in-vention, system of device that uses the newest ideas or discoveries of science and engineering.

What is high tech? A computer is high tech. So is a communications satellite. A modem manufac-turing (生产) system is surely high tech. High tech became a popular expression in the United States during the early 1955' s. Because of improvements in technology, people could buy many new kinds of products in American stores, such as home computers, microwave ovens, etc.

"State of the art" is something that is as modem as possible. It is a product that is based on the very latest methods and technology. Something that is "state of the art" is the newest possible design or product of a business or industry. A state of the art television set, for example, uses the most modem electronic design and parts. It is the best that one can buy.

"Stare- of the art" is not a new expression. Engineers have used it for years, to describe the best and most modem way of doing something. Millions of Americans began to use the expression in the late 1970' s. The reason was the computer revolution. Every computer company claimed that its computers were "state of the art".

Computer technology changed so fast that a state of the art computer today might be old to-morrow. The expression "state of the art" became as common and popular as computers them-selves. Now all kinds of products are said to be "state of the art".

答案：B

As any middle-class parent knows, unpaid work experience can give youngsters a valuable in-troduction to a secure job. The government has recognized it too, abandoning rules in 2011 that had formerly stopped 16 to 24-year-olds from doing unpaid work while claiming unemployment benefit. But moving from that to forcing them to work without pay in order to collect these benefits has proved a big step.

More than one million young people in Britain are unemployed, the highest number since the mid-1955s. Keen both to cut the welfare bill and to avoid the depressed future wages that may re-sult from early unemployment, the government has introduced an ambitious program of reform to get youngsters off welfare and into work. A key part of it is ensuring that no one gets benefit from the government for long; ministers are keen to avoid what happened after the early-1955s recession( 衰退), when unemployment continued in some parts of the country for a long time after the econ-omy began to improve.

To help young people into work, ministers had persuaded lots of employers, including bakery chains, bookshops and supermarkets, to take on unemployed youths, who receive work experience but no pay, with the prospect of a proper job for those who shine. Some 35,000 youngsters par-ticipated last year; half found paid work soon after finishing the scheme.

The idea of getting young adults used to showing up for work is popular with voters: accord-ing to a survey published in February, about 60% of people support the program. Equally attrac-tive was the option of compelling them to work: Under the existing arrangements youngsters could choose whether or not to accept a place, but if they dropped out after the end of the first week,they stood to lose up to two weeks' benefits.

Yet the scheme has also polarized(两极分化的) opinion: a third of people are consistently opposed. Following a noisy "Right to Work" campaign that accused employers of co-operating se-cretly with the government in "forced labor", several firms dropped out of the program. To pre-vent this from getting worse, Chris Grayling, an employment minister, admitted that young people could leave their work experience at any time without being punished for doing so. This not only halted the flight of employers ( for now, at least) but also enabled him to announce that new firms have agreed to take part in the program.

21. According to the passage, young people in Britain__________.

A. are used to showing up for work

B. value unpaid work very much

C. are always opposed to unpaid work

D. could learn something about job security through unpaid work

答案：D

B. Some people protest against the government' s attempt to force young people to work.

C. There are more than one million young people who took part in the program.

D. There are more than one million young people who are jobless.

答案：C

答案：A

A lawyer friend of mine has devoted herself to the service of humanity. Her special area is called "public interest law".

Many other lawyers represent only clients who can pay high fees. All lawyers have had expen-sive and highly specialized training, and they work long, difficult hours for the money they earn.

But what happens to people who need legal help and cannot afford to pay these lawyers' fees?

Public interest lawyers fall this need. Lisa, like other public interest lawyers, earns a salary much below what some lawyers can earn. Because she is willing to take less money, her clients need the help, even if they can pay nothing at all.

Some clients need legal help because stores have cheated them with faulty merchandise.

Others are in unsafe apartments, or are threatened with eviction (驱逐，赶出 ) and have no place to go to. Their cases are called "civil" cases. Still others are accused of criminal acts, and seeking those public interest lawyers who handle "criminal" cases. These are just a few of the many situations in which men and women who are public interest lawyers serve to extend justice throughout our society.

四、翻译(51)

51.No tree gets out of this world alive, and few people come through life without at least one se-rious illness. If we are given a serious diagnosis, it is useful to try to remain free of panic and de-pression. Panic can constrict the blood vessels and impose an additional burden on the heart. De-pression, as medical researchers all the way back to Galen have observed, can set the stage for oth-er illnesses or intensify existing ones. It is no surprise that so many patients who learn that they have cancer or heart disease--or any other catastrophic disease become worse at the time-of diag-nosis. The moment they have a label to attach to their symptoms, the illness deepens.

答案：没有一个人能活着离开这个世界，极少有人一生一世没生过一次重病。如果医生诊断说你得了重病，避免恐慌和沮丧是大有益处的。恐慌会使血管收缩，增加心脏负担。而沮丧，正如自古希腊名医盖伦以来的医学老师们所指出的，可诱发其他疾病或加重目前的疾病，难怪许多患者一听说自己得了癌症或心脏病——或其他什么灾难性疾病，病症立即就会恶化。一旦给自己的各种症状贴上某种标签，病情便随之加重。

五、写作(52)

52.Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic "My Ideal Job". You should write in no less than 100 words, and base your composition on the outline given in Chinese below:

1.人们对职业各有不同的理想;

2.我理想的职业是什么;

3.我怎样为我理想的职业做准备。

答案：My Ideal Job

People with different personalities, backgrounds and interests will have different opinions on what an ideal job is. To choose an ideal job and prepare for it is a long way for everybody.

For me, my ideal job position would be in arts management. I' m quite interested in music but I' d like to broaden my perspective a bit. I would like to work in a company concerning arts and having wide room for my development, I envision working in the city, but probably in a city that has lots of green and open spaces. I need to be able to reach the mountains in a couple of hours, so ! think that the suburbs of Beijing are suitable. I would like to be professional at work. I believe my colleagues will be dedicated to their jobs and love the musical and artistic world.

Now I am a sophomore majoring in music. I' ve received professional training of music, so I feel confident that after graduation I could manage and work with all of the different instrumental-ists and vocalists.
