Task 1 Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You

18、should make the correct choice. 35 The US Department of Labor statistics (统计结果 )indicates that there is an oversupply of college-trained workers and that this oversupply is increasing. Already there is an overabundance (过多 ) of teachers, engineers, physicists and other specialists. Yet colleges and

19、graduate schools continue every year to turn out highly trained people to compete for jobs that arent there. The result is that the graduates cannot enter the professions for which they are trained and must take temporary jobs, which do not require a college degree. These “temporary“ jobs have a hab

20、it of becoming permanent. On the other hand, there is a tremendous need for skilled workers of all sorts: carpenters (木工 ), electricians, mechanics, and TV repairmen. These people have more work than they can handle and their annual incomes are often higher than those of college graduates. The old d

21、istinction that white-collar workers make a better living than blue-collar workers no longer holds true. The reason for this situation is the traditional myth that a college degree is a passport to bright future. Parents begin telling their children this myth before they are out of school. Under thi

22、s pressure the kids fall in line. Whether they want to go to college or not doesnt matter. Everybody should go to college. One result of this emphasis on a college education is that many people go to college who do not belong there. Of the sixty percent of high school graduates who enter college, ha

23、lf of them do not graduate with their class. Many of them drop out within the first year. Some struggle on for two or three years and then give up. 36 The US Department of Labor statistics shows that . （ A） many college graduates find it increasingly hard to get suitable jobs （ B） there is an oversu

24、pply of workers and this oversupply is increasing recently （ C） teachers, engineers, physicists and other specialists are extremely needed （ D） colleges and graduate schools have become aware of the hard situation in the labor market 37 By saying “These temporary jobs have a habit of becoming perman

25、ent“, the author means_. （ A） once college graduates take a temporary job, they soon get used to it （ B） college graduates have the habit of taking temporary jobs （ C） many college graduates might never find jobs for which they are trained （ D） college graduates are accustomed to taking permanent jo

26、bs 38 It is implied in the passage that in the past_. （ A） blue-collar workers worked harder than white-collar workers （ B） white-collar workers had little difficulty getting good jobs （ C） there were more white-collar workers than blue-collar workers （ D） colleges and graduate schools trained more

27、skilled workers than now 39 It is stated in the last paragraph that_. （ A） many people do not have financial support to go to college （ B） many people are not fit for college education （ C） many college students dont like their majors （ D） many college students are bored of their education 40 It can

29、k 2 Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. 40 For years and years people have been saying that the railways arc dead. “We can do without railways,“ people say, as if motorcars and planes have made the railways unnecessary. We

30、 all keep hearing that trains are slow, that they lose money, and that they are dying. But this is far from the truth. In those days of expensive oil, the railways have become highly competitive with motorcars and planes. If you want to carry people or goods from place to place, they are cheaper tha

31、n planes. And they have much in common with planes. A plane goes in a straight line and so does a railway. What is more, it takes from the heart of a city into the heart of another. It doesnt leave you as a plane does, miles and miles from the city center. It doesnt hold you up as a car does, in end

32、less traffic jams. And a single train can carry goods which a plane or motorcar could never do. Far from being dead, the railways are very much alive. Modern railway lines give you a smooth, untroubled journey. Where else can you eat well, sleep in comfort, feel safe and enjoy the scene while you ar

33、e traveling at speed at the same time? And we are only at the beginning. For we have just entered the age of super fast trains, trains traveling at 150 miles an hour and more. Soon we will be wondering why we spent so much on motorcars we cant use because we have not enough money to buy the oil and

34、planes we cant fly for the same reason. 41 Some people think the railways are unnecessary because . （ A） planes and motorcars have taken the place of trains （ B） oil is expensive today （ C） trains are super fast （ D） railways earn a large amount of money 42 According to the writer, it seems that . （

35、 A） we can do without railways （ B） trains have much in common with motorcars and planes （ C） motorcars and planes are not as good as trains （ D） trains are as good as motorcars and planes 43 It is implied by the writer that . （ A） it is cheaper to travel by plane than by train （ B） the railway stat

36、ion is usually in the suburb of the city （ C） when you get off the plane you will find yourself in the center of the city （ D） no motorcar or plane can carry as much goods as a train does 44 The writer thinks that the railways are very much alive because . （ A） we can have a troubled journey （ B） we

37、 have enough money to fly in planes （ C） we can now travel by super fast trains （ D） we can travel by motorcars as well 45 The best title for this passage may be . （ A） Not the End But the Beginning （ B） Which Is the Best: Train, Motorcar or Plane? （ C） Trains Are More Competitive than Motorcars or

39、 has 20 spectacular scenic spots featuring either peaks, caves, waterfalls, springs orwoods, all equally majestic and charming.
