High tech is just a shorter way of saying high technology. And high technol
27、ogy describes any invention, 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 manufacturing (生产) system is surely high tech. High tech became a popular expression in the United
28、 States during the early 1980“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
29、 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. “State of the art“ is not a new expression. Engi
30、neers 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 chang
31、ed so fast that a state of the art computer today might be old tomorrow. The expression “state of the art“ became as common and popular as computers themselves. Now all kinds of products are said to be “state of the art“.（分数：10.00）(1).What is the purpose of the passage?（分数：2.00）A.To tell how “high t

36、 introduction 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 prove
37、d a big step. More than one million young people in Britain are unemployed, the highest number since the mid-1980s. Keen both to cut the welfare bill and to avoid the depressed future wages that may result from early unemployment, the government has introduced an ambitious program of reform to get y
38、oungsters 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-1980s recession (衰退), when unemployment continued in some parts of the country for a long time after the economy began to
39、 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 participated
40、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: according to a survey published in February, about 60% of people support the program. Equally attractive was the option of compelling them to work: Un
41、der 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(两级分化的) opinion: a third of people are consistently opposed. Following a noi
42、sy “Right to Work“ campaign that accused employers of co-operating secretly with the government in “forced labor“, several firms dropped out of the program. To prevent this from getting worse, Chris Grayling, an employment minister, admitted that young people could leave their work experience at any
43、 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.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the passage, young people in Britain _.（分数：2.00）A.are used to showing up for
44、workB.value unpaid work very muchC.are always opposed to unpaid workD.could learn something about job security through unpaid work(2).According to the passage, which of the following is NOT TRUE?（分数：2.00）A.Most voters support the government“s effort to help young people to work.B.Some people protest

46、 if they are not cooperating with itB.reform the unemployed youngstersC.avoid the economic slowdownD.reduce welfare spending(4).The word “ shine “ in Paragraph 3 means “_“.（分数：2.00）A.do wellB.reflect lightC.look happyD.produce light(5).Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage?
