请阅读短文，完成此题。
What should you think about in trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. Knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.
Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metal work or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills.
If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in apart-time job. Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is bitter to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.
The whole passage centers on__________.
查看材料A．choosing a career according to what one is skilled in
B．acquiring knowledge by working hard at school
C．finding one's strong and weak points
D．developing one's abilities useful in school work答案：A解析：本文大意是你可以根据自己擅长的科目来选择你适合的职业，重要的是通过自己的表现来认识自己，而不是一味地将目光放在成绩是好还是坏上面。因此应选A。 -

The State of Marriage Today
Is there something seriously wrong with marriage today?During the past 50 years,the rate of divorce in
the United States has exploded:almost 50% of marriages end in divorce now,and the evidence suggests it is
going to get worse.If this trend continues,it will lead to the breakup of the family,according to a spokesper-
son for the National Family Association.Some futurists predict that in 100 years,the average American will
marry at least four times ,and extramarital（婚外的）affairs will be even more common than they are now.
But what are the reasons for this ,and is the picture really so gloomy（阴暗的）?The answer to the first
question is really quite simple:marriage is no longer the necessity it once was.The institution of marriage has
been based for years partly on economic need.Women used to be economically dependent on their
husbands一as they usually didn't have jobs outside the home.But with the rising number of women in well-
paying jobs,this is no longer the case,so they don't feel that they need to stay in a failing marriage.
In answer to the second question , the outlook may not be as pessimistic（悲观的）as it seems. While the
rate of divorce has risen;the rate of couples marrying has never actually fallen very much,so marriage is still
quite popular. In addition to this,many couples now simply live together and don't bother to marry. These
couples are effectively married,but they do not appear in either the marriage or divorce statistics.In fact,
more than 50%of first marriages survive.
So is marriage really an outdated institution?The fact that most people still get married indicates that it
isn't. And it is also true that married couples have a healthier life than single people:they suffer less from
stress and its consequences,such as heart problems,and married men generally consider themselves more
contented than their single counterparts. Perhaps the key is to find out what makes a successful marriage and
apply it to all of our relationships!Which of the following is true about the marriage in the United States today?
A:Divorce leads to the breakup of the family.
B:More than half of the married couples get divorced.
C:American people marry more than four times.
D:More and more people are getting divorced.答案：D解析：由第一段可知如果离婚率持续走高的话，会导致家庭的破裂，A项错；几乎是一半人离 婚了，而不是超过一半，故B项错；是将会结四次婚，而不是现在就结四次婚，故C项错。由段中的“it is going to get worse”可知选D。
由第二段可知，现在妇女都有报酬好的工作了，经济都已经独立了，经济问题对于她们来说已不是问题了。故选A。
由第三段中的“marriage is still quite popular”可知，情况还没有那么糟糕，还是有很多人 愿意结婚的。故选A。
由第四段中的“consider themselves more contented than...”可知选D。 contented意为“满 意的”。
文中根本没有提到出国的事，故选D。 -

单选题Which of the following statements is true according to what was said in the recording?AThe dollar rose to a new high against the curd.
BThe American economy has rebounded.
CJapan’s economy has not bottomed out yet.
DThe performance of many economies in Latin America is less than expected.
正确答案： B解析：
从录音中提到的“Not only has the American economy rebounded…”，可知美国经济反弹了，即开始发展，因此选B。
【录音原文】
Stockmarkets are sliding again; the gold price this week hit a seven-year high of $400 an ounce; and the dollar slumped to a new low against the euro. “So what’s new?” you might ask: the world economy clearly remains fragile. What is new, however, is the recent batch of better-than-expected figures on economic growth around the globe. Not only has the American economy rebounded, but Japan and the euro area are also now growing again, albeit more slowly. The news from some emerging economies is even more bullish. Many economies in Asia and Latin America enjoyed their fastest growth for years in the third quarter. Adding it all together, the world economy as a whole probably enjoyed its fastest growth for two decades. So why are the financial markets showing lack of confidence? -

问答题Directions:Write a composition of no less than about 160 words, giving your views on the following question: Should companies give men and women equal opportunities to have time off work to look after their children?正确答案：
Concerning the topic of roles that men and women play in looking after their children, I hold the opinion that companies should give both equal opportunities to have time off work to do this job. I’ve got the following reasons to support my point of view.
Firstly, both parents should be encouraged to take an active part in looking after their children. It is the parents’ responsibility to protect and take care of the children. It is unfair to leave this burden all on women. Second, the children can develop all-round abilities under the caring of both father and mother. The father can teach them to be brave, strong-willed and open-minded, while the mother can help them be more considerate and kind-hearted. Third, if the men can also get time off work and attend to the children, the society can be more harmonious. Not only would the family benefit from this flexibility, but also would the whole society. In this way, employees get a lighter mood and the working efficiency in turn can be lifted.
To conclude, it is an inevitable part of social change. And this change can bring advantages to both the families and the society as a whole.解析： 暂无解析 -

第14题：
Text 4 Many people talked of the 288,000 new jobs the Labor Department reported for June,along with the drop in the unemployment rate to 6.1 percent,as good news.And they were right.For now it appears the economy is creating jobs at a decent pace.We still have a long way to go to get back to full employment,but at least we are now finally moving forward at a faster pace.However,there is another important part of the jobs picture that was largely overlooked.There was a big jump in the number of people who report voluntarily working part-time.This figure is now 830,000（4.4 percent）above its year ago level.Before explaining the connection to the Obamacare,it is worth making an important distinction.Many people who work part-time jobs actually want full-time jobs.They take part-time work because this is all they can get.An increase in involuntary part-time work is evidence of weakness in the labor market and it means that many people will be having a very hard time making ends meet.There was an increase in involuntary part-time in June,but the general direction has been down.Involuntary part-time employment is still far higher than before the recession,but it is down by 640,000（7.9percent）from its year ago level.We know the difference between voluntary and involuntary part-time employment because people tell us.The survey used by the Labor Department asks people if they worked less than 35 hours in the reference week.If the answer is“yes”,they are classified as working part-time.The survey then asks whether they worked less than 35 hours in that week because they wanted to work less than full time or because they had no choice.They are only classified as voluntary part-time workers if they tell the survey taker they chose to work less than 35 hours a week.The issue of voluntary part-time relates to Obamacare because one of the main purposes was to allow people to get insurance outside of employment.For many people,especially those with serious health conditions or family members with serious health conditions,before Obamacare the only way to get insurance was through a job that provided health insurance.However,Obamacare has allowed more than 12 million people to either get insurance through Medicaid or the exchanges.These are people who may previously have felt the need to get a full-time job that provided insurance in order to cover themselves and their families.With Obamacare there is no longer a link between employment and insurance.
It can be learned that with Obamacare,____A.it is no longer easy for parttimers to get insurance
B.employment is no longer a precondition to get insurance
C.it is still challenging to get insurance for family members
D.fulltime employment is still essential for insurance答案：B解析：细节题【命题思路】这是细节题。主要考查考生准确借助题干关键信息定位，并准确划分和把握定位信息的能力。【直击答案】根据题干关键信息“Obamacare”以及出题顺序性原则，定位到第六段。第六段共两句话，第一句提到了Obamacare的目的，是让无业人士也可以拥有保险。第二句进一步展开说明，在Obamacare之前，人们想要获得保险必须先获得一份提供保险的工作；而Obamacare改变了这一局面。比对选项，对应B项“employment is no longer a precondition to get insurance”是对以上信息的同义改写，确定为最佳答案。【干扰排除】A项是反向干扰，文中最后一段表明奥巴马医改正是为了使兼职员工也有可能获得保险，故排除。C项无中生有，文中并未提及家庭成员获取保险的难度，故排除。D项属反向干扰，与文中提到的它们之间的关系已经不复存在不符合，故排除。 -
