纠错标记Part IV Reading Part II Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)

Questions51-55are based on the following passage.

Interest in pursuing international careers has soared in recent years, enhanced by chronic （长久的）personnel shortages that are causing companies to search beyond their home borders for talent.

Professionals seek career experience outside of their home countries for a variety of reasons. They may feel the need to recharge their batteries with a new challenge. They may want a position with more responsibility that encourages creativity and initiative. Or they may wish to expose their children to another culture, and the opportunity to learn a second language.

When applying for a job, one usually has to submit a resume or curriculum vitae （CV）. The two terms generally mean the same thing: a one-or two-page document describing one’s educational qualifications and professional experience. However, guidelines for preparing a resume are constantly changing. The best advice is to find out what is appropriate regarding the corporate （公司）culture, the country culture, and the culture of the person making the hiring decision. The challenge will be to embrace two or more cultures in one document. The following list is a good place to start.

●“Educational requirements differ from country to country. In almost every case of ‘cross-border’job hunting, just stating the title of your degree will not bean adequate description. Provide the reader with details about your studies and any related experience.”

●Pay attention to the resume format you use-chronological or reverse-chronological order. Chronological order means listing your ‘oldest’work experience first.

Reverse-chronological order means listing your current or most recent experience first.&nbs本题答案:ABCD纠错标记52

The author believes that an individual who applies to work overseas ________.A. is usually creative and full of initiative

B. aims to improve his foreign language skills

C. is dissatisfied with his own life at home

D. seeks either his own or his children’s development

纠错标记53

When it comes to resume writing, it is best to ________.A. take cultural factors into consideration

B. learn about the company’s hiring process

C. follow appropriate guidelines for job hunting

D. know the employer’s personal likes and dislikes

纠错标记54

When writing about qualifications, applicants are advised to ________.A. stress their academic potential to impress the decision maker

B. give the title of the university degree they have earned at home

C. provide a detailed description of their study and work experiences

D. highlight their keen interest in pursuing a ‘cross-border’career

纠错标记55

B. the differences between the varieties of English

C. the recipient’s preference with regard to the format

D. the distinctive features of American and British cultures

纠错标记56

Questions56-60are based on the following passage.

Passage Two

Educating girls quite possibly yields a higher rate of return than any other investment available in the developing world. Women’s education may be unusual territory for economists, but enhancing women’s contribution to development is actually as much an economic as a social issue. And economics, with its emphasis on incentives （激励）, provides guideposts that point to an explanation for why so many girls are deprived of an education.

Parents in low-income countries fail to invest in their daughters because they do not expect them to make an economic contribution to the family: girls grow up only to marry into somebody else’s family and bear children. Girls are thus seen as less valuable than boys and art kept at home to do housework while their brothers are sent to school-the prophecy （预言）becomes self-fulfilling, trapping women in a vicious circle （恶性循环）of neglect.

An educated mother, on the other hand, has greater earning abilities outside the home and faces an entirely different set of choices. She is likely to have fewer but healthier children and can insist on the development of all her children, ensuring that her daughters are given a fair chance. The education of her daughters then makes it much

more likely that the next generation of girls, as well as of boys, will be educated and healthy. The vicious circle is thus transformed into a virtuous circle.

Few will dispute that educating women has great social benefits. But it has enormous economic advantages as well. Most obviously, there is the direct effect of education on the wages of female workers. Wages&nbs本题答案:ABCD纠错标记57

By saying “... the prophecy becomes self-fulfilling...”（Lines 45, Para. 2）. the author means that ________.A. girls will turn out to be less valuable than boys

B. girls will be capable of realizing their own dreams

C. girls will eventually find their goals in life beyond reach

D. girls will be increasingly discontented with their life at home

纠错标记58

The author believes that a vicious circle can turn into a virtuous circle when ________.A. women care more about education

B. girls can gain equal access to education

C. a family has fewer but healthier children

D. parents can afford their daughters’education

纠错标记59

What does the author say about women’s education?A. It deserves greater attention than other social issues

B. It is now given top priority in many developing countries

C. It will yield greater returns than other known investments

D. It has aroused the interest of a growing number of economists

纠错标记60

The passage mainly discusses ________.A. unequal treatment of boys and girls in developing countries

B. the potential earning power of well-educated women

C. the major contributions of educated women to society

D. the economic and social benefits of educating women

纠错标记61

Questions61-65are based on the following passage.

Speeding off in a stolen car, the thief thinks he has got a great catch. But he is in for an unwelcome surprise. The car is fitted with a remote immobiliser （锁止器）, and a radio signal from a control centre miles away will ensure that once the thief switches the engine off, he will not be able to start it again.

The idea goes like this. A control box fitted to the car contains a mini-cellphone, a micro-processor and memory, and a GPS （全球定位系统）satellite positioning receiver. If the car is stolen, a coded cellphone signal will tell the control centre to block the vehicle’s engine management system and prevent the engine being restarted.

In the UK, a set of technical fixes is already making life harder for car thieves. ‘The pattern of vehicle crime has changed,’says Martyn Randall, a security expert. He says it would only take him a few minutes to teach a person how to steal a car, using a bare minimum of tools. But only if the car is more than 10 years old.

Modern cars are far tougher to steal, as their engine management computer won’t

allow them to start unless they receive a unique ID code beamed out by the ignition （点火）key. In the UK, technologies like this have helped achieve a 31% drop in vehicle-related crime since 1997.

But determined criminals are still managing to find other ways to steal cars, often by getting bold of the owner’s keys. And key theft is responsible for 40% of the thefts of vehicles fitted with a tracking system.

If the car travels 100 metres without the driver confirming their ID, the sy本题答案:ABCD纠错标记62

By saying “The pattern of vehicle crime has changed”（Lines 1-2. Para. 3）, Martyn Randall suggests that ________.A. it takes a longer time for the car thief to do the stealing

B. self-prepared tools are no longer enough for car theft

C. the thief has to make use of computer technology

D. the thief has lost interest in stealing cars over 10 years old

纠错标记63

What is essential in making a modem car tougher to steal?A. A coded ignition key

B. A unique ID card

C. A special cellphone signal

D. A GPS satellite positioning receiver

纠错标记64

Why does the tracking system set a 100-metre minimum before sending an alarm to the operations centre?A. To leave time for the operations centre to give an alarm

B. To keep police informed of the car’s movements

C. To give the driver time to contact the operations centre

D. To allow for possible errors in the GPS system

纠错标记65

What will the operations centre do first after receiving an alarm?A. Start the tracking system

B. Contact the car owner

C. Block the car engine

D. Locate the missing car

纠错标记66

Questions66-70are based on the following passage.

Psychiatrists （精神病专家）who work with older parents say that maturity can be an asset in child rearing-older parents are more thoughtful, use less physical discipline and spend more time with their children. But raising kids takes money and energy. Many older parents find themselves balancing their limited financial resources, declining energy and failing health against the growing demands of an active child. Dying and leaving young children is probably the older parents’biggest, and often unspoken, fear. Having late-life children, says an economics professor, often means parents, particularly fathers, “end up retiring much later.”For many, retirement becomes an unobtainable dream.

Henry Metcalf, a 54-year-old journalist, knows it takes money to raise kids. But he’s also worried that his energy will give out first. Sure, he can still ride bikes with his

athletic fifth grader, but he’s learned that young at heart doesn’t mean young. Lately he’s been taking afternoon naps （午睡）to keep up his energy. “My body is aging,”says Metcalf. “You can’t get away from that.”

Often, older parents hear the ticking of another kind of biological clock. Therapists who work with middle-aged and older parents say fears about aging are nothing to laugh at. “They worry they’ll be mistaken for grandparents, or that they’ll need help getting up out of those little chairs in nursery school,”says Joann Galst, a New York psychologist. But at the core of those little fears there is often a much bigger one: “that they won’t be alive long enough to support and protect their child,”she says. Many late-life parents, though,&nb本题答案:ABCD纠错标记67

What does the author mean by saying “For many, retirement becomes an unobtainable dream”（Lines 7-8, Para. 1）?A. They are reluctant to retire when they reach their retirement age

B. They can’t obtain the retirement benefits they have dreamed of

C. They can’t get full pension unless they work some extra years

D. They have to go on working beyond their retirement age

纠错标记68

The author gives the example of Henry Metcalf to show that ________.A. older parents should exercise more to keep up with their athletic children

B. many people are young in spirit despite their advanced age

C. older parents tend to be concerned about their aging bodies

D. taking afternoon naps is a good way to maintain energy

纠错标记69

What’s the biggest fear of older parents according to New York psychologist Joan Galst?A. Approaching of death

B. Slowing down of their pace of life

C. Being laughed at by other people

D. Being mistaken for grandparents

B. Not until they reached middle age did they think of having children

Small Schools Rising This year's list of the top 100 high schools shows that today, those with fewer students are flourishing. Fifty years ago, they were the latest thing in educational reform: big, modern, suburban high schools with students counted in the thousands. As baby boomers(二战后婴儿潮时期出生的人) came of high-school age, big schools promised economic efficiency. A greater choice of courses, and, of course, better football teams. Only years later did we understand the trade-offs this involved: the creation of excessive bureaucracies(官僚机构)，the difficulty of forging personal connections between teachers and students.SAT scores began dropping in 1963;today,on average,30% of students do not complete high school in four years, a figure that rises to 50% in poor urban neighborhoods. While the emphasis on teaching to higher, test-driven standards as set in No Child Left Behind resulted in significantly better performance in elementary(and some middle)schools, high schools for a variety of reasons seemed to have made little progress. Size isn't everything, but it does matter, and the past decade has seen a noticeable countertrend toward smaller schools. This has been due ,in part ,to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which has invested $1.8 billion in American high schools, helping to open about 1,000 small schools-most of them with about 400 kids each with an average enrollment of only 150 per grade, About 500 more are on the drawing board. Districts all over the country are taking notice, along with mayors in cities like New York, Chicago and
