13、. All lawyers have had expensive 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 fill this need. Lisa, like other public interest lawyers,

As the centuries went by, he made more and mor

20、e new words. This is what we mean by language. People living in different countries made different kinds of words. Today there are about fifteen hundred different languages in the world. Each contains many thousands of words. A very large English dictionary, for example, contains four or five hundre

21、d 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 bigger.

25、n technology. High tech is just a shorter way of saying high technology. And high technology 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 modern manufact

26、uring(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 someth

27、ing that is as modern 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 modern electronic design

28、and parts. It is the best that one can buy. “State of the art“ is not a new expression. Engineers have used it for years, to describe the best and most modern way of doing something. Millions of Americans began to use the expression in the late 1970 s. The reason was the computer revolution. Every c

29、omputer 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 tomorrow. The expression “state of the art“ became as common and popular as computers themselves. Now all kinds of products are said to be “sta

30、te of the art“. 21 What is the purpose of the passage? （ A） To tell how “high tech“ and “state of the art“ have developed. （ B） To give examples of “high tech“. （ C） To tell what “high tech“ and “state of the art “ are. （ D） To describe very modern technology. 22 What can we infer from the passage?

34、ons 25 As any middle-class parent knows, unpaid work experience can give youngsters a valuable 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 mov

35、ing 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 result

36、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

37、unemployment continued in some parts of the country for a long time after the economy 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

38、, with the prospect of a proper job for those who shine. Some 35,000 youngsters participated 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

39、 people support the program. Equally attractive 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 ha

40、s 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 secretly with the government in “forced labor“ , several firms dropped out of the program. To prevent this from getting worse, Chris Grayling

41、, 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. 26 According

42、 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 27 According to the passage, which of the following is NOT TRUE? （ A） Most voters su

43、pport the government s effort to help young people to work. （ 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. 28 A

44、ccording to the author, the British government is trying to_. （ A） punish young people if they are not cooperating with it （ B） reform the unemployed youngsters （ C） avoid the economic slowdown （ D） reduce welfare spending 29 The word “shine“ in Paragraph 3 means “_“. （ A） do well （ B） reflect light

45、 （ C） look happy （ D） produce light 30 Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage? （ A） Enjoy Work Without Pay （ B） Can Work, Won t Work （ C） Should Work, Shouldn t Play （ D） Hate Work or Love Work 三、 Part II Vocabulary and Structure (30%) Directions: In this part, there are 30
