11、rePart ADirections: Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. (40 points)21 When a Shanghai ad consultant was recently asked to recommend young local designers to an international agency, he sent three candidates with years of work experience. But

12、the company decided they werent good enough and had to import designers from the West. Its a common problem that Chinese vocational grads simply havent had good enough teaching. Most of the lecturers dont have any real work experience, so they cant teach useful things. When graduates do get hired, t

13、hey basically have to be re-educated.Chinas rapid economic expansion has exposed many frailties in its education system, especially on the vocational side. The country cant produce enough skilled workers. In part thats because it invests far more in academic than vocational programs. Funding has fal

14、len significantly since the 1990s. Partly as a result, today only 38 percent or so of Chinas high-school-age students attend vocational schools, well below the official target of 50 percent. To address this deficit, last year Beijing pledged to spend almost $2 billion on 100 new vocational colleges

15、and 1,000 high schools. And this year it started offering annual subsidies to vocational students.But Chinas training is too abstract, whats urgently required are technicians who can come up with a good idea and turn it into a marketable product. Parts of the country are already adapting; in Shenzhe

16、n, local institutes offer “made to order“ training for particular businesses. And some vocational colleges have introduced practical research projects.But vocational education faces a deeper problem: its image. Chinas middle class is eager to forget its experience with physical labor, and few allow

17、their children to become technical workers. Everyone thinks these are things that low-class people do. Thus China now produces record numbers of college gradswho struggle to find work because they lack the skills for manufacturing, where demand is greatest. One fix would be to re-brand vocational su

18、bjects as “professional“, not “manual“ skills.At the other end of the spectrum are Chinas 100 million-plus rural migrant workers, many of whom have little schooling. They have never learned how to work with others, to live in the city, save money or choose the right job. Thus they find it hard to le

19、arn from their jobs or plan their careers. This results in extremely high labor turnover. Teaching and training“ life skills“ to complement vocational programs would help.Yet the urgency of Chinas skilled-labor shortfall will force a rethink. For now, China is relying on cheap, low-skilled, labor-in

20、tensive production, but its not sustainable in the long term, We must raise our skills level, and its impossible for state-run colleges to do all the training. Indeed, with the demand for skilled workers growing all the time, China will need all the help it can get.21 Why are Chinese vocational grad

21、s inferior to their Western counterparts?（A）Because China spends less on vocational education training.（B） Because they simply dont have enough work experience.（C） Because their lecturers are less qualified than the foreign ones.（D）Because their teachers dont want to teach any useful things.22 Accor

22、ding to the text, a lower rate of school-aged teenagers enter vocational schools in China mainly because _.（A）the vocational education lacks government financial support.（B） the public do not think much of the vocational workers.（C） few allow their children to become technical workers.（D）they fear t

23、hat they can not find a job after graduation.23 In the authors opinion, the best way to solve a more serious problem of Chinese vocational education is _.（A）to train students to turn their ideas into products.（B） to change peoples biased impression of its image.（C） to set up programs to train rural

24、migrant workers.（D）to meditate on the deficits of vocational education.24 By mentioning the problems of Chinese vocational education, the author tends to _.（A）emphasize that Chinas vocational training is too abstract（B） inform that the image of vocational work is negative（C） warn that the rural immi

25、grant workers lack vocational training（D）suggest that the government investment on it is not enough25 What is the authors attitude towards vocational education in China?（A）Paradoxical.（B） Inconsistent.（C） Apprehensive.（D）Critical.26 Many countries have a tradition of inviting foreigners to rule them

26、. The English called in William of Orange in 1688, and, depending on your interpretation of history, William of Normandy in 1066. Both did rather a good job. Returning the compliment, Albania asked a well-bred Englishman called Aubgrey Herbert to be their king in the 1920s. He refused-and they ended

27、 up with several coves called Zog.America, the country of immigrants, has no truck with imported foreign talent. Article two of the constitution says that “no person except a natural-born citizen shall be eligible to the office of the president“. This is now being challenged by a particularly irresi

28、stible immigrant: Arnold Schwarzenegger.Barely a year has passed since the erstwhile cyborg swept to victory in Californias recall election, yet there is already an Amend-for-Arnold campaign collecting signatures to let the Austrian-born governor have a go at the White House. George Bush senior has

29、weighed in on his behalf. There are several “Arnold amendments“ in Congress. one allows foreigners who have been naturalized citizens for 20 years to become president. (The Austrian became American in 1983).It is easy to dismiss the hoopla as another regrettable example of loopy celebrity politics.

30、Mr. Schwarzenegger has made a decent start as governor, but he has done little, as yet, to change the structure of his dysfunctional state. Indeed, even if the law were changed, he could well be elbowed aside by another incomer, this time from Canada. the Democratic governor of Michigan, Jennifer Gr

31、anholm, who appears to have fewer skeletons in her closet than the hedonistic actor.Moreover, changing the American constitution is no doddle. It has happened only 17 times since 1791 (when the first ten amendments were codified as the bill of rights). To change the constitution, an amendment has to

32、 be approved by two-thirds of both houses of Congress, and then to be ratified by three-quarters of the 50 states. The Arnold amendment is hardly in the same category as abolishing slavery or giving women the vote. And, as some wags point out, Austrian imports have a pretty dodgy record of running m

33、ilitary superpowers.26 The author of the text makes a contrast in _.（A）Paragraph and Paragraph （B） the opening paragraph（C） Paragraph t and Paragraph （D）the concluding paragraph27 The phrase “has no truck with“ (Line 1, Paragraph 2) most probably means _.（A）lacks means of transportation for（B） never

34、 discriminate（C） have no vehicle to（D）refuses to consider28 Compared with Jennifer Granholm, Mr. Schwarzenegger is at disadvantage due to _.（A）more embarrassing secrets（B） previous actor background（C） excessive garment decoration（D）less slender figure29 The word “cyborg“ (Line 1, Paragraph 3) most p

35、robably refers to _.（A）Aubgrey Herbert（B） George Bush senior（C） William of Orange（D）Arnold Schwarzenegger30 It can be inferred from the concluding paragraph that _.（A）the American constitution is changeable and falls into a vicious cycle（B） there is a faint chance that legal adjustments are made for

36、 Arnold running（C） abolishing slavery and granting women the vote given an impetus to Arnold running（D）both houses of Congress hold whether he deserves to win is another matter31 Globalization, a process whereby owners of capital are enabled to move their capital around the globe more quickly and ea

37、sily, has resulted in the removal of state controls on trade and investment, the disappearance of tariff barriers and the spread of new information and communications technologies. In societies around the world, the effects of globalization have influenced social development. Not only are the influe

38、nces of globalization apparent in markets, their forces are felt in the processes or working towards equality between men and women. Reda Bebars of Egypt, stressing that the advancement of women would not be achieved by passing legislation, said that social development on the national scale must be

39、strengthened and a climate conducive to development must be created if the goals set in Beijing (at the 1995 Fourth World Conference on Women) are to be realized. The problems stem from the fact that women are very differently positioned in relation to the markets in different parts of the world. In

40、 certain places, where women are socially excluded from leaving their homes, the challenge is to find ways for women to participate. In other places, the challenge is to create markets which are more friendly to womens participation. Ilham Ibrahim Mohamed Ahmed of Sudan condemned the debt burden car

41、ried by developing countries, economic sanctions, arbitrary measures and denial of access to new technological developments as obstacles to the growth of womens rights. Women remain very much in the minority among Internet users and still face huge imbalances in the ownership, control and regulation

42、 of new information technologies.“The gains of globalization have not been equitably distributed and the gap between rich and poor countries is widening,“ said Zhang Lei of the Peoples Republic of China.The gains of globalization thus far have for the most part been concentrated in the hands of bett

43、er-off women with higher levels of education and with greater ownership of resources and access to capital.“Work in China and Vietnam shows that globalization has brought new opportunities to young women with familiarity with English in new service sector jobs, but has made a vast number of over-35-

44、year-olds redundant, because they are either in declining industries or have outdated skills,“ Swasti Mitter of the UNs Women Watch Online Working Group on Womens Economic Inequality said.31 According to the text, what role has English played during the process of globalization?（A）Created new educat

45、ion opportunities.（B） It has sped up the process of globalization.（C） Opened the doors for new opportunities and increased the number of young women in the working world.（D）Increased the number of skilled women.32 What needs to occur in order for the goals of the fourth womens conference to be reali

46、zed?（A）Legislations calling for the advancement of women should be enforced.（B） Need to create a climate that allows and encourages social development on a national scale.（C） Create new technological opportunities for women in China.（D）Abolish economic barriers between China and the West.33 Where ha

47、ve the profits of globalization gone?（A）In rich countries with strict tariff barriers.（B） China and Vietnam.（C） In the hands of smart women.（D）In the hands of richer members of the society.34 The statement“.but made a vast number of 35-year-olds redundant“ in the last paragraph refers to the fact th

48、at?（A）Globalization has caused many women of age 35 to lose their jobs.（B） Working 35 year old women are stuck in industries that are no longer thriving.（C） There is a great need of 35 year old women due to the process of globalization.（D）There was a baby boom 35 years ago and there are many 35 year

49、 old women working.35 What reason does the text suggest when women remain the minority of Internet users?（A）They do not speak English well enough.（B） Men remain the majority of people who control the Internet industry.（C） They do not know how to use computers as well as men do.（D）It does not apply, because this problem does not exist in China.36 Wal-Mart is now mounting a bold expansion that could double its sal
