21、t the decision has angered many other countries . China said that Arafat is the true leader , elected by the Palestinian people , and removing him would harm the peace in the Middle East . This idea is shared by other governments .Arafat himself said : “They can kill me , but never get me out of my

22、country .” He has spent most of his life in danger as the most important aim of Israel .But , just like a cat with nine lives , Arafat escaped every time .For years he has made a practice of sleeping in a different bed each night , thinking a moving person is harder to hit . In 1985 , Israel sent fi

30、workplace, research shows. A survey of more than 2,600 managers and personnel professionals showed that age discrimination is not only common in the workplace, but is full of inconsistencies(茅盾). Six in ten managers thought that they had suffered from age discriminationusually because they were turn

31、ed down for a job for being too old or too young. Yet more than a fifth admitted that they used age as a condition when they employ new workers. Although the survey found widespread agreement that older workers were better than younger colleagues when it came to reliability, commitment, loyalty and

32、customer service, these qualities were not necessarily considered to be worthy of advancement. More than half of respondents believed that workers between 30 and 39 were the most likely to be advanced in their company, with only 2 per cent citing (引证,举例)50-year-olds or above. Dianah Worman of the Ch

33、artered Institute of Personnel and Development said that there was anecdotal(多轶事趣闻的)evidence that people were considered old at different ages in different sectors. “We heard of one man working in IT who said he was considered too old by the age of 28,” she said. “There was no evidence to suggest th

34、at older workers were less valuable to companies than younger workers, in fact the opposite was often true because older workers often brought experience.” she added.

37、 age when they retireB. the age when they should be promotedC. the date on which theyre soldD. the date when they sell goods 48. The writers purpose in writing the text is to _.A. tell the government to employ older workers B. criticize managers who treat workers unfairlyC. report the findings of a

38、survey D. show he objects to age discrimination CEllis Island is located in New York Harbor. Ellis Island is open daily year round from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., with extended hours during summer.

43、prefer to go to Ellis Island by boat B. there are more visitors in winterC. Ellis Island is open every day D. Boat is the only transportation to Ellis IslandDWithout proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhab

44、itant of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the countrys economy. It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tou

45、rism affects tourists.Tourism should also advance the well-being (health and happiness) of local inhabitants.Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the countrys economy can suffer.O

46、n the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Business can also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels , airports, air terminals ,first-class roads ,and other support facilities(设施) needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international-

47、class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel lose money. Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity ,sewers (阴沟) to

48、handle waste ,and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.53. Which of the following has most probably been discussed in the paragraph that goes before the passage?A. It is extremely important to develop t

49、ourism B. Building roads and hotel is essentialC. Support facilities are highly necessary D. Planning is of great importance to tourism54.

51、B. weaken their economyC. help establish their traditions D. help improve their lifeEThe United States is trying to improve an education system that produces millions of citizens who cannot read, write, or addlet alone finding their country on a map.In his first State of Union message since taking o

52、ffice a year ago, President George Bush promised to wipe out illiteracy(文盲) in the next decade and declared that “by the year 2008, U.S students must be first in the world in math and science achievements. ” They have a long way to go. American students were placed 14th in a recent general science t

53、est conducted in 16 countries. In a separate survey of chemistry students, the United States came 12 out of 14. In a mathematics test, they were last. According to Bush, there are 17 million illiterates in this country of 245 million people. Other estimates put the number as high as 23 million. In p

54、ercentage terms, that ranks the United States alongside Nicaragua and below C、uba. “This nation,” Bush said in his State of the Union address, “will not accept anything but excellent in education.” Bush, who has declared himself “Education president”, and senior officials of his administration are w

55、arning that the United States will be unable to compete in the world without an educated workforce.How to increase educational standards is a matter of debate in a country whose schools have no uniform national curriculum and are subject to a confusing variety of state and local controls. Most exper

56、ts think that the problem lies at the elementary and high school levels rather than with universities-but even their graduates show huge gaps in general knowledge. Among the root causes most frequently mentioned in education debates is the low respect in which U.S. society holds teachers-in contrast

57、 to Japan and Germany. In Japan teaching is a profession of high prestige(威望) and high pay. In the United States teachers are near the bottom of the society.57. By “the United States came 12 out of 14”(Para. 2), the author means . A. the United States ranked 12th not 14th in the chemistry testB. the
