23、mployment is probably hero to stay. This means we shall have to make ways of sharing the available employment more widely.But we need to go further. We must ask some primary questions about the future of work. Would we continue to treat employment as the norm? Would we not rather encourage many othe

24、r ways for self-respecting people to work? Should we not create conditions in which many of us can work for ourselves, rather than for an employer? Should we not aim to revive the household and the neighborhood, as well as the factory and the office, as centers of production and work?The industrial

25、age has been the only period of human history in which most peoples work has taken the form of jobs. The industrial age may now be coaling to an end, and some of the changes in work patterns which it brought may have to be reversed. This seems a daunting thought. But, in fact, it could provide the p

26、rospect of a better future for work. Universal employment, as its history shows, has not meant economic freedom.Employment became widespread when the enclosures of the 17th and 18th centuries made many people dependent on paid work by depriving them of the use of the land, and thus of the means to p

27、rovide a living for themselves. Then the factory system destroyed the cottage industries and removed work from peoples homes. Later, as transportation improved, first by rail and then by road, people commuted longer distances to their places of employment until, eventually, many peoples work lost al

28、l connection with their home lives and the place in which they lived.Meanwhile, employment put women at a disadvantage. In pre-industrial time, men and women had shared the productive work of the household and village community. Now it became customary for the husband to go out to be paid employment

29、, leaving the unpaid work of the home and family to his wife. Tax and benefit regulations still assume this norm today and restrict more flexible sharing of work roles between the sexes.It was not only women whose work status suffered. As employment became the dominant form of work, young people and

30、 old people were excludeda problem now, as more teenagers become frustrated at school and more retired people want to live active lives. All this may now have to change. The time has certainly come to switch some effort and resources away from the idealist goal of creating jobs for all, to the urgen

31、t practical task of helping many people to manage without full time jobs.（分数：5.00）(1).Research carried out in the recent opinion polls shows that A. available employment should be restricted to a small percentage of the population. B. new jobs must be created in order to rectify high unemployment fi

32、gures. C. available employment must be more widely distributed among the unemployed. D. the nowaday high unemployment figures are a truth of life.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).The arrival of the industrial age in our historical evolution meant that A. universal employment virtually guaranteed prosperity. B.

33、economic freedom came within everyones control. C. patterns of work were fundamentally changed. D. peoples attitudes to work had to be reversed.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).The enclosures of the 17th and 18th centuries meant that A. people were no longer legally entitled to own land. B. people were driven t

34、o look elsewhere for means of supporting themselves. C. people were not adequately compensated for the loss of their land. D. people were badly paid for the work they managed to find.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(4).The effects of almost universal employment were overwhelming in that A. the household and villag

35、e community disappeared completely. B. men now travelled enormous distances to their places of work. C. young and old people became superfluous components of society. D. the work status of those not in paid employment suffered.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(5).The article concludes that A. the creation of jobs f

36、or all is an impossibility. B. our efforts and resources in terms of tackling unemployment are insufficient. C. people should begin supporting themselves by learning a practical skill. D. we should help those whose jobs are only part-time.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.九、BText 2/B(总题数：1，分数：4.00)Throughout history

37、 there have been many unusual taxes levied on such things as hats, beds, baths, marriages, and funerals. At one time England levied a tax on sunlight by collection from every household with six or more windows. And according to legend, there was a Turkish ruler who collected a tax each time he dined

38、 with one of his subjects. Why? To pay for the wear and tear on his teeth!Different kinds of taxes help to spread the tax burden. Anyone who pays a tax is said to “bear the burden“ of the tax. The burden of a tax may fall more heavily on some persons than on others. That is why the three levels of g

39、overnment in this country use several kinds of taxes. This spreads the burden of taxes among more people. From the standpoint of their use, the most important taxes are income ta- xes, property taxes, sales taxes, and estate, inheritance, and gift taxes. Some are used by only one level of government

40、;others by or even all three levels. Together these different taxes make up what is called our tax system.Income taxes are the main source of federal revenues. The federal government gets more than three-fourths of its revenue from income taxes. As its name indicated, an income tax is a tax on earni

41、ngs. Both individuals and business corporations pay a federal income tax.The oldest tax in the United States today is the property tax. It provides most of the income for local governments. It provides at least a part of the income for all but a few states. It is not used by the federal government.A

42、 sales tax is a tax levied on purchases. Most people living in the United States know about sales taxes since they are used in all but four states. Actually there are several kinds of sales taxes, but only three of them are important. They are general sales taxes, excise taxes, and import taxes.Othe

43、r three closely related taxes are estate, inheritance, and gift taxes. Everything a person owns, including both real and personal property, makes up his or her estate. When someone dies, ownership of his or her property or estate passes on to one or more individuals or organizations. Before the prop

44、- erty is transferred,however,it is subject to an estate tax if its value exceeds a certain amount.（分数：4.00）(1).The reason that the Turkish ruler collected a dining tax is to pay for A. the inconvenience for him to put on and take off clothes.
