Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension Directions: This part is to test your reading ability. There are 5 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.
Task 1 The U.S. 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 graduate schools continue every year to turn out highly trained people to compete for jobs that aren't 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 habit of be- coming permanent. On the other hand, there is a tremendous need for skilled workers of all sorts: carpenters, 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 distinction that whitecollar 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 this pressure the kids fall in line. Whether they want to go to college or not doesn't 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, half 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.
1. The U. S. Department of Labor statistics shows that______.
A.many college graduates find it increasingly hard to get suitable jobs
B.there is an oversupply of workers and this oversupply is recently increasing
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
A B C D
A
根据文章第一段第一句活The U.S.Department Of Labor statistics indicates that there is an over-supply Of college-trained workers and that this oversupply is increasing.(美国劳动部的统计结果表明大学毕业的工人供大于求且这种供大于求的情况一直在加剧。)因此答案为A)。 [避错指导] B)“工人的数量供大于求,并且这种情况近来还在加剧”,根据文章第二段第一句话 On the other hand,there is a tremendous need for skilled workers Of all sorts:carpenters,electriclans,mechanics,and TV repairmen;(另一方面,各种技术工人却十分紧缺:如木工、电工、技工、电视维修工。)可知,只是大学毕业的上人数量供大于求,因此B)不正确;C)“教师、工程师、物理学家和其他专家都是巾场紧缺的人才”,根据文章第一段第二句话Already there is an overabundance Of teachers,engineers,physicists and other specialists.可知这类人才已经过多了,因此C)错误;D)“大学和研究所已经认识到了劳动市场的艰难处境”,这不是统计结果所表明的,也错误。
2. By saying "These ' temporary' jobs have a habit of becoming permanent", 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 jobs
A B C D
C
题于中引用的这句话是文章第一段的最后—句话,它前面的一句话是The result is that the graduates cannot enter the profeshons for which they are trained and must take,temporary jobs,which do not require a college degree.(结果是大学毕业生找不到自己接受的大学教育所胜任的职业,只能做一些临时性的工作,而这些工作根本用不着大学学历。)由于市场用不了那么多大学培养出来的高端人才,这样产生恶性循环,如果不加以改革调整,高端人才只能去做临时工就会成为惯例,即permanent“持续的,永久的”。因此选C)。 [避错指导] A)“一旦大学生从事了一种临时性的工作,很快就会习惯了”;B)“大学生有一种从事临时性工作的习惯”;D)“大学生习惯了从事长期稳定的工作”,均错误。
3. 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 skilled workers than now
A B C D
B
根据文章第二段最后一句话The old distinction that white-collar workers make a better living than blue-collar workers no longer holds true.(白领工人比蓝领工人日子过得好的老说法已经不对了。)可推断以前白领工人丁作条件更好,因此选B)。 [避错指导] A)“蓝领工人比白领工人更努力工作”;C)“白领上人比蓝领工人多”,而文章只是说白领工人供大于求,并设说比蓝领工人多,因此C)错误;D)“大学和研究所以前培养的技术工人比现在多”,也错误。
4. 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 drop out in the first year
D.many college students are bored of their education
A B C D
B
根据文章最后一段第一句话One result of this emphasis on a college education is that many people go to college who do not belong there.(对大学教育的这种强调的结果之一,就是很多本来跟不上大学教育的人进了大学。)因此选B)。 [避错指导] A)“很多人都没钱上大学”;C)“很多大学生在第一年就离开了大学”;D)很多大学生都厌倦了自己的学业”,均错误。
5. It can be concluded that______.
A.every young man and woman should go to college if possible.
B.college education has become worse and worse in recent years
C.people with a college education should receive a higher pay
D.fewer students should go to college but more be trained for skilled jobs
Task 2 For years and years people have been saying that the railways are dead. "We can do without railways," people say, as if motorcars and planes have made the railways unnecessary. We all keep heating that trains are slow, that they lose money, and that they are dying. But this is far from the troth. 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 than 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 doesn't leave you as a plane does, miles and miles from the city center. It doesn't hold you up as a car . does, in endless 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. Modem 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 are 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 traveling at 150 miles an hour and more. Soon we will be wondering why we spent so much on motorcars we can't use because we have not enough money to buy the oil and planes we can't fly for the same reason.
1. 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 superfast
D.railways gain a large amount of money
A B C D
A
根据文章第一段第二句话‘We can do without railways,people say,as if motorcars and planes have made the railways unnecessary.(“我们不需要火车,”有人说,好像汽车和飞机已经使火车的存在变得没有必要了。)因此选A)。 [避错指导] B)“现在油太贵”,C)“火车是超高速的”,这两个选项恰恰是火车之所以存在的理由;D)“铁路交通可以赚很多钱”,根据文章第一段第二至五行We all keep hearing that trains are slow,that they lose money,and that they are dying,But this is far from tile truth.h those days of expensive oil,the railways have become highly competitive with motorcars and planes.(我们都经常听人说,火车很慢、赔钱、正在消亡。但这远非事实真相。鉴于现在油价过高,火车与汽车和飞机相比有很强的竞争力。)因此,作者否认火车是赔钱的这—观点,但并未暗示火车赚钱与否是其存在的理由,因此D)也错误。
2. According to the writer, it seems that ______.
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
A B C D
D
根据文章第一段第六至九行、第二段第—至三行可知,火车与汽车和飞机同样舒适,而且还有另两者所不具备的优点,因此选D)。 [避错指导] A)“我们不需要铁路也可以”;B)“铁路和汽车、飞机有很多相同之处”,根据文章第一段第六行And they have much in common with planes.可知,作者只说火车与飞机有许多共同之处,并没有说与汽车有许多共同之处;C)“汽车和飞机不如火车好”,文章虽然强调火车的优点,但并没有得出汽车和飞机不如火车好的结论,因此C)错误。
3. It is implied by the writer that ______.
A.it is cheaper to travel by plane than by train
B.the railway station 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 many good as a train does
A B C D
D
根据文章第—段最后一句话And a single train can Carry goods which a plane or motorcar could never do.(一列火车所运载的货物是飞机或汽车所不能比的。)因此选D)。 [避错指导] A)“坐飞机比坐火车便宜”,根据第一段第五行If you want to carry people or goods from place to place,they are cheaper than planes.(要运输货物或载送旅客,火车比飞机便宜。)可知A)错误;B)“火车站通常在郊区”;C)“一下飞机就身处市中心”。根据文章第—段倒数第三至四行What is more,it akes-from the heart Of a city into the heart of another,It doesn't leave you as a plane does,miles and miles from the city center.可推断出,火车站通常在市中心,而飞机场通常在郊区,因此B)和C)是错误的。
4. The writer thinks that the railways are very much alive because ______.
A.we can have a troubled journey
B.we have enough money to fly in planes
C.we can now travel by superfast trains
D.we can travel by motorcars as well
A B C D
C
文章第二段第—话Far from being dead,the railways are very much alive.(铁路交通现在不仅远未消亡,而是生机盎然。)是文章中承上启下的句子,也是第三段的主题句,以下各句均用来解释说明这一句,其中说到我们进入了超高速的时代,火车时速到达一小时150英里或更快,因此选 C)“我们现在可以乘坐超高速列车”。 [避错指导] A)“我们会有—个麻烦的旅程”,B)“我们有足够的钱来坐电机”,D)“我们也可以乘汽车旅行”均原文不符。
5. 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 Plane
D.Oh, superfast Trains '
A B C D
A
文章的主旨是指出人们原来对铁路交通的—些错误观点.介绍现代铁路的发展使铁路交通重现生机,丝毫不逊于其他交通方式,而且如文章第二段第三行And we are only at the beginning.所说,这些进步只是一个开端,还有更好的发展前景,以证明铁路交通确实“复活”了。因此选A)。 [避错指导] B)“何种最好:火车、汽车还是飞机”,C)“火车比汽车和飞机更有竞争力”,D)“噢,超高速列车”,虽然这三个选项在文章中都有所提及,但均不能突出“铁路交通重现生机”这一主旨,均错误。

[解析] 本题的关键在于理解telling you后面的宾语从句。作为宾语从句的how pleased we are…是一个感叹句的结构,翻译成“我们是多么的开心”,D)项翻译成“我们高兴的程度”、A)项翻译成“我们是如何得到厂快乐”,都不正确。B)项漏译了comfortable(舒适)一词。
