About 65% of American men aged 6274 with a professional degree are in the workforce (劳动人口), co

10、mpared with 32% of men who only finish high school. This gap is part of a deepening divide between the well-educated wealthy and the unskilled poor. Rapid technological advance has raised the incomes of the highly skilled while squeezing those of the unskilled. The consequences, for individuals and

11、society, are profound .The world is facing an astonishing rise in the number of old people, and they will live longer than ever before. Over the next 20 years the global population of those aged 65 or more will almost double, from 600 million to 1.1 billion. The experience of the 20th century, when

12、greater longevity (长寿) translated into more years in retirement rather than more years at work, has persuaded many observers that this shift (变化) will lead to slower economic growth, while the swelling (渐增的) ranks of pensioners will create government budget problems.Policies are partly responsible.

13、Many European governments have abandoned policies that used to encourage people to retire early. Even the better-off must work longer to have a comfortable retirement. But the changing nature of work also plays a big role. Pay has risen sharply for the highly educated, and those people continue to r

14、eap (获得) rich rewards into old age because these days the educated elderly are more productive than the preceding (先前的) generation. Technological change may well reinforce (强化) that shift: the skills that complement (补充) computers, from management know-how to creativity, do not necessarily decline w

15、ith age.21. What is the common phenomenon in the workforce in rich countries?A. Younger people are replacing the elderly.B. People with no college degree cannot find any job.C. Well-educated people tend to work longer.D. Unemployment rates are decreasing year after year.22. In view of the experience

16、 of the 20th century, many observers predict that _.A. there will be more competition in the job marketB. government budgets will decreaseC. more people will try to receive higher educationD. economic growth will slow down23. According to the text, what is the result of policy changes in European co

17、untries?A. Unskilled workers may choose to retire early.B. Even wealthy people must work longer to live comfortably in retirement.C. People may be able to use computers to do more complicated work.D. More and more people have to go abroad to hunt for jobs.BReducing plastic waste isnt easy because th

18、e cheap material is found in almost every household item. Now, a delicious and nutritious solution has come up to help reduce our dependence on this environmental hazard.David Christian, the co-founder of Evoware, says the idea of creating the biodegradable (生物降解的) products came from concern at the

19、countrys high pollution rate. Indonesia is home to four of the worlds worst polluted rivers. Since single-use packaging is a large contributor to the problem, Evoware decided to deal with that first.After investigating various materials, the company settled on seaweed. Unlike corn, commonly used for

20、 biodegradable containers, seaweed does not require resources like water or large amounts of space. Since Indonesian farmers already harvest more seaweed than they can sell, its easy for the company to find the material.Though they will not reveal their production process, Evoware says the seaweed p

21、ackaging contains no chemicals and is safe to consume. The company has also invented single-use cups, which can break down 30 days after theyre thrown away.While replacing plastic with the seaweed products may seem appealing to most of us, it is a hard-sell in Indonesia. According to Christian, “The

22、 awareness to reduce single-use plastic is still very low. This makes our bioplastic unnecessary.” Also a factor is the cost, which is higher than using plastic. Hopefully, Evoware will succeed in convincing Indonesians and people worldwide that switching to their products will be helpful to protect

23、ing our beautiful planet.24.What problem did Evoware decide to deal with first?A. Ways to clean the four worst polluted rivers.B. What nutritious materials for people to use.C. How to deal with single-use packaging. D. Means to contribute to the countrys economy.25.Why did Evoware choose seaweed?A.

24、It didnt require much space and was easy to get.B. It could be found everywhere in his country.C. It was most commonly used for packaging.D. It grew thickly in most of the polluted rivers.26.What can we infer from Christians words?A. Their seaweed products have won government support.B. Sometimes it

25、s hard to get people to reduce the use of plastics.C. Their new products have received worldwide popularity.D. The cost of making seaweed products will be lowered soon.27.What does the underlined word “hard-sell” in Paragraph 5 refer to?A. Something lasting long. B. Something hard to accept.C. Somet

26、hing easy to get. D. Something commonly seen. CRoughly the size of a soda can, sitting on a bookshelf, a relatively harmless device(设备) may be turning friends away from your home. The elephant in your living room is your Internet-connected camera, a device people are increasingly using for peace of

27、mind in their homes. But few stop to think about the effect these devices may have on house guests. Should you tell your friends, for instance, that theyre being recorded while you all watch the big game together?Its certainly new territory, especially as home security cameras become easier to fix,

28、says Lizzie Post, president of the Emily Post Institute, Americas distinguished manners advisors. I think it will be very interesting to see what manners appear in terms of whether you tell people you have a camera or not, and whether guests have a right to ask that it be turned off, if its not a se

29、curity issue. Post wants to make clear that shes not talking about legal rights, but rather personal preference.When it comes to security cameras, Post says its a hosts responsibility to make sure guests feel comfortable within their home. If the host casually acknowledges that there is a camera in

30、the room by telling a story about it, that may be enough to provide an opening for a guest to say if they are uncomfortable.However, if a contractor(合约工)is working in your home, you dont need to tell them that there are cameras watching. Then again, the camera can also work in contractors favor. If

31、anything does go wrong while theyre in the house, they dont want to be blamed for it, she says. In fact, the camera could be the thing that proves that they didnt steal the $20, or knock the vase off the table.28. The visitors arc concerned that the security camera may .A. threaten their health B. s

32、poil their peace of mindC. disturb their privacy D.affect their preference29. How can the home security camera benefit contractors working in your home?A. It can prevent the accidents happening. B. It can prove their innocence.C. It can record their working progress. D. It can make their work more e

33、njoyable.30. Whats the authors attitude towards the security camera?A. Negative. B. Pessimistic. C. Favorable. D. Objective. 第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余诜项The world is a colorful landscape of different languages, skin colors, and different cultures. Its important to ha

34、ve a good understanding of different cultures in order to become a well-rounded person 31 One way is to read books written by authors from a particular culture. Reading works by authors who have a close relationship with a particular culture allows people to gain an authentic glimpse into the food,

35、music, language, religion, and way of a life of a particular group of people. 32 Another way to learn about different cultures is to try to learn a foreign language. 33 A person can choose a language she has always wanted to learn and locate learning programs to help her master the language. Besides

36、, one can enroll in a foreign language class in order to learn in a more formal setting. One can also try to visit areas of the city to establish social connection with native speakers of the language. 34 Seek out restaurants that feature authentic food from a variety of countries. Food is an import
