14、7.10）A.B.C.D.八、Section C(总题数：1，分数：71.00)The northern Italian city of Milan banned all traffic from its streets for 10 hours on Sunday (26) . reduce smog.The measure which was first imposed on a trial basis in the year 2007 is (27) whenever pollution exceeds the statutory limit for 12 (28) days.Satel
15、lite imagery shows Milan to be one of the most polluted cities in Europe. An estimated 120,000 (29) will be affected by the move, according to the major daily newspaper in the city.The most polluting vehicles have (30) driving through the city center since Thursday. But on Sunday, there was supposed
16、 to be no traffic between 8:00 and 18:00.The ban is imposed when pollution (31) 50 micrograms of particulates per cubic meter of air over 12 days. The last time the full ban was (32) was in February.The move is not popular with all environmentalists, who argue that the citys public transport system
17、should be improved to (33) people from using their cars. Local Green Party councilor Enrico Fedrighini said cars with three or four people inside should be offered free parking, for example. “One or two car-free Sundays each month will not do anything to (34) the smog crisis,“ he told the daily news

Despite 2.6m people starting diets on New Years Day, research suggests that by the end of the week 92 percent of dieters gave up, (36) exercise and gorging on comfort food.Findings, (37) by weightloss firm XLS-Medical, suggest that the (38)
20、majority are unsuccessful at sticking to their diets for more than five days a week. Two out of 10 dieters (39) they have their first diet relapse (退步) just four to five days in, with hunger cited as the main cause. Boredom and alcohol were (40) blamed for people failing to keep their health kick on
21、 track.Dr. Matt Capehorn, Clinical Director of the National Obesity Forum, (41) that just one day off from dieting can undo a weeks worth of hard work. He told Female First: “A healthy diet, aimed at losing 11b per week, relies on saving 3500 calories a week by having 500 calories less each day.“ “A
22、 day off the diet should mean that you eat the correct amount, but many dieters see it as an excuse to binge (大吃大喝) and have thousands of calories more than they need. “The results suggest that a (42) 590,000 could already have (43) to stick to New Year diet resolutions.

Millions of school-leavers in the rich world are about to bid a tearful goodbye to their parent
25、s and start a new life at university. Some are inspired by a pure love of learning. But most also believe that spending three or four years at universityand accumulating huge debts in the processwill boost their chances of landing a well-paid and secure job.B. Their elders have always told them that
26、 education is the best way to equip themselves to thrive in a globalised world. Blue-collar workers will see their jobs outsourced and automated, the familiar argument goes. School dropouts will have to cope with a life of cash-strapped (资金紧张的) insecurity. But the graduate elite will have the world
27、at its feet. There is some evidence to support this view. A recent study from Georgetown Universitys Centre on Education and the Workforce argues that “obtaining a post-secondary credential (证书) is almost always worth it.“ Educational qualifications are tightly correlated with earnings: an American
28、with a professional degree can expect to pocket $3.6m over a lifetime; one with merely a high- school diploma can expect only $1.3m. The gap between more- and less-educated earners may be widening. A study in 2002 found that someone with a bachelors degree could expect to earn 75% more over a lifeti
29、me than someone with only a high-school diploma. Today the disparity is even greater.C. But is the past a reliable guide to the future? Or are we at the beginning of a new phase in the relationship between jobs and education? There are good reasons for thinking that old patterns are about to changea
30、nd that the current recession-driven downturn (衰退) in the demand for Western graduates will morph (改变) into something structural. The strong wind of creative destruction that has shaken so many blue-collar workers over the past few decades is beginning to shake the cognitive elite as well.D. The sup
31、ply of university graduates is increasing rapidly. The Chronicle of Higher Education calculates that between 1990 and 2007 the number of students going to university increased by 22% in North America, 74% in Europe, 144% in Latin America and 203% in Asia. In 2007 150m people attended university arou
32、nd the world, including 70m in Asia. Emerging economiesespecially Chinaare pouring resources into building universities that can compete with the elite of America and Europe. They are also producing professional- services firms such as Tam Consulting Services and Infosys that take fresh graduates an
33、d turn them into world-class computer programmers and consultants. The best and the brightest of the rich world must increasingly compete with the best and the brightest from poorer countries who are willing to work harder for less money.E. At the same time, the demand for educated labor is being re
34、configured (重新配置) by technology, in much the same way that the demand for agricultural labor was reconfigured in the 19th century and that for factory labor in the 20th. Computers can not only perform repetitive mental tasks much faster than human beings. They can also empower amateurs to do what pr
35、ofessionals once did“ why hire a flesh-and-blood accountant to complete your tax return when Turbotax (a software package) will do the job at a fraction of the cost? And the variety of jobs that computers can do is multiplying as programmers teach them to deal with tone and linguistic ambiguity.F. S
36、everal economists, including Paul Krugman, have begun to argue that post-industrial societies will be characterized not by a relentless rise in demand for the educated but by a great “hollowing out“, as mid-level jobs are destroyed by smart machines and high-level job growth slows. David Autor, of t
37、he Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), points out that the main effect of automation in the computer era is not that it destroys blue-collar jobs but that it destroys any job that can be reduced to a routine. Alan Blinder of Princeton University, argues that the jobs graduates have traditio
38、nally performed are if anything more “offshorable“ than low-wage ones. A plumber or lorry-drivers job cannot be outsourced to India. A computer programmers can.G. A university education is still a prerequisite for entering some of the great industries, such as medicine, law and academia (学术界), that
39、provide secure and well-paying jobs. Over the 20th century these industries did a wonderful job of raising barriers to entrysometimes for good reasons (nobody wants to be operated on by a barber) and sometimes for self-interested ones. But these industries are beginning to bend the rules. Newspapers
40、 are fighting a losing battle with the blogosphere. Universities are replacing tenure-track professors with non-tenured staff. Law firms are contracting out routine work such as “discovery“ (digging up documents relevant to a lawsuit) to computerized-search specialists such as Blackstone Discovery.
41、Even doctors are threatened, as patients find advice online and treatment in Walmarts new health centers.H. Thomas Malone of MIT argues that these changesautomation, globalization and deregulationmay be part of a bigger change: the application of the division of labor to brain-work. Adam Smiths fact
42、ory managers broke the production of pins into 18 components. In the same way, companies are increasingly breaking the production of brain-work into ever tinier slices. TopCoder chops up IT projects into bite-sized chunks and then serves them up to a worldwide workforce of freelance coders.I. These
43、changes will undoubtedly improve the productivity of brain-workers. They will allow consumers to sidestep (规避) the professional industries that have extracted high rents for their services. And they will empower many brain-workers to focus on what they are best at and contract out more tedious tasks
44、 to others. But the reconfiguration of brain-work will also make life far less cozy and predictable for the next generation of graduates.（分数：71.00）(1).The creative destruction that has happened to blue-collar workers in the past also starts to affect the cognitive elite.（分数：7.10）填空项 1:_(2).For the n

46、hool-leavers believe that, despite the huge debts they owe, going to university will increase their chances of getting secure jobs with high salaries.（分数：7.10）填空项 1:_(5).Modem companies are more likely to break the production of intellectual work into ever tinier slices.（分数：7.10）填空项 1:_(6).A scholar
47、 of Princeton University claims that the jobs traditionally taken by graduates are more likely to be offshored than low-wage ones.（分数：7.10）填空项 1:_(7).The income gap between an American professional degree holder and an American high-school graduate shows income is closely related to educational qual
