    A．result = ""

    B．result = null

    C．result = number1

    D．result = number2


    正确答案：A
    解析：题目中的代码段比较长，因此首先要看懂代码所完成的功能，然后再进行选择。这段代码的功能是让用户输入两个数，然后比较这两个数，最后输出比较结果。程序开始生成三个字符串变量和两个数值型变量，然后要求用户根据屏幕上显示的提示信息输入数据。由于读取进来的原始数据是字符串，而程序所要的是数值型数据，因此调用Integer类的parseInt()方法进行转换。后面就对两个数进行比较，并把最后要输出的比较结果放到字符串变量result中。
      根据题目当中的提示，下划线处的语句所完成的操作就是初始化result变量。因为 result是一个字符串类型的变量，初始化这种类型的变量是要给它赋一个字符串常量。所以，选项B是错的，null根本就不是字符串类型的数据。另外，由于result中存放的是比较结果，而不是用户输入的数据，因此不能把number1或number2的值作为 result的初始值。因此，选项C和D也是不对的。选项A当中的””是一个空串，虽然这个字符串中不包含任何字符，但它是一个字符串常量。
      因此，本题的正确答案是A。

    A.cover
    B.change
    C.range
    D.differ

    答案：C
    解析：
    本句意思为“估计数字的范围大约从60万到300万之间”，而range from…to…这一句型正是表示“在…范围之内变化”的意思，故本题选CA.cover虽然有“包含”之意，但cover表示“覆盖”的面积，大小，不表示范围，故排除。D.differ主要强调不同，而本句并未强调不同，只是强调范围，故选择range。

  • 第6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。

    1.Tired of social networking?Logging off Facebook?You're probably not the only one.Fearing for their privacy or perhaps just bored with using the site,100,000 Britons are said to have deactivated（注销）their accounts last month. And Facebook fatigue seems to be catching. Six million logged off for good in the U.S.too,figures show.Worldwide,the rate of growth has slowed for a second month in a row一and as it aims to reach its goal of one billion active users,Facebook is having to rely on developing countries to boost its numbers.The figures suggest that there could be a"natural limit" for Facebook's saturation（饱和）.There is even speculation on blogs that, as is feared for its failing rival MySpace,the website could one day "pass into oblivion"（被人遗忘）.
    2.Earlier this year,executives announced that the number of Facebook accounts held in the UK had reached 30 million,accounting for about half the population.The milestone was an increase of four million from last July and represented the highest saturation of any country in Europe.
    3.But times change一and last month more than 100,000 in the UK stopped using the website, figures show.In the U.S.,user numbers dropped from 155.2 million to 149.4 million throughout May.In Canada there was also a fall,of about 1.5 million users,while in Russia and Norway num-bers also fell by more than 100,000 users.
    4.It's not all bad news for the site.Worldwide,Facebook is still expanding and has around 600 million users,thanks to strong growth in countries such as Mexico and Brazil.
    5.According to Eric Eldon,of the website Inside Facebook,which obtained the figures through analysis of the company's advertising tools,there is a point at which the site can no longer grow, once it has established itself in a country."By the time Facebook reaches around 50 percent of the total population in a given country,growth generally slows to a halt,"he explained.

    Paragraph 2_________
    A:Facebook users in Britain increased a lot earlier this year.
    B:Facebook seems to be faced with a gloomy future.
    C:Facebook is a very popular social place for many people.
    D:Users of Facebook dropped dramatically in many countries.
    E:In spite of the setback in some countries,Facebook is still expanding worldwide.
    F: There is a reason for the decreasing users of Facebook.

    答案：A

    (1)firstNumber (2)showInputDialog (3)parseInt (4)number1==number2 (5)showMessageDialog 解析：本题考查Java中的语法结构和两个数大小比较的实现。
    题目要求由考生通过输入窗口分别输入两个整数，比较其大小并输出结果。下面来分析程序代码，程序中定义了一个类Java3，在这个类中实现题目要求的功能。
    第(1)空所在代码行的注释是用户输入第1个字符串，但这在程序的开始，没有进行输入操作，应该是声明一个字符串型变量用来存放用户输入的第1个字符串，而在这个空的前面有一个关键字String用来表明所声明的变量是字符串型的，结合后面的程序，我们知道用来存放输入的第1个字符串的变量是firstNumber，因此，此空答案为firstNumber。
    根据注释，第(2)空所在代码行的作用是读用户输入的第1个字符串，而实现这个功能的是JOptionPane包中的showlnputDialog()函数，结合后面的程序，我们不难找出此空的答案，为showlnputDialog。
    再根据注释，我们知道第(3)空所在代码行的作用是将第1个字符串类型的内容转换成整数类型，在Java中，一般通过类型对象的parseInt()方法，结合后面的程序，我们也不难找出此空的答案，为parseInt。
    第(4)空是条件判断语句中的条件，根据整个程序，我们不难发现变量result中存放的是要输出的结果，而语句result=number1+"＝"+number2是将number1=number2这样一个结果存放到result中，那么只有当number1等于number2时，才输出这个结果，因此，第(4)空的作用应该是确定number1等于number2。所以，此空答案为number1=number2。
    第(5)空在注释显示结果下面，从上面的程序中我们知道，变量result中存放的是要输出的结果，根据下面的程序，很明显是要调用包JOptionPane中的某个方法来实现输出。此方法应该是showMessageDialog()，因此，此空答案为showMessageDialog。

    A．result=" "；

    B．result=null

    C．result=number1

    D．result=number2


    正确答案：A
    解析：本程序是让用户输入两个数，然后对这两个数进行比较，最后输出比较结果。根据题目中的提示，下画线处的语句所完成的操作就是初始化result变量。因为result是一个字符串型变量，初始化就是要为其赋予一个字符型常量。选项B中的null不是字符串型数据。选项C和选项D均为整型数据，也不是字符串型数据。所以答案为A。

    [A] cover

    [B] change

    [C] differ

    [D] range


    正确答案：D
    16. [D] 本句意思为“估计数字的范围大约从60万到300 万之间”，而 range from… to …这一句型正是表示“在……范围之内变化”的意思，故本题选[D]。[A] cover 虽然有“包含”之意，但 cover表示“覆盖”的面积、大小，不表示范围，故排除。[C] differ 主要强调不同，而本句并未强调不同，只是强调范围，故选择 range。

    C.The possibility of full employment.
    D.The acceleration of job creation.

    答案：B
    解析：
    细节题【命题思路】这是一道细节题。主要考查考生准确理解题干，精准定位，并能正确划分和掌握定位信息的能力。【直击答案】根据题干关键信息“job pictures，neglected”定位到第二段第一句“the jobs picture…was largely overlooked”，其中“neglected是overlooked”的同义替换。第二句具体指出被忽略的部分是“there was a big jump in the number of people who report voluntarily working parttime”，即有大量的人自愿从事兼职工作。比对四个选项，确定正确答案为B项。其中“increase”是原文“jump”的同义替换，“voluntary parttime jobs”是“voluntarily working parttime”的同义转述。【干扰排除】A、D两项均表明就业形势良好，并没有说这种现象被忽视，与题干不相关，故排除。文中第一段只是客观描述了我们依然要走很长的路才能达到全民就业，而并不是说这种问题被忽略，故C项排除。

  • 第18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.
    Many people work parttime because they_____

    A.prefer parttime jobs to fulltime jobs
    B.feel that is enough to make ends meet
    C.cannot get their hands on fulltime jobs
    D.haven't seen the weakness of the market

    答案：C
    解析：
    细节题【命题思路】这是一道细节题。主要考查考生准确理解题干，精准定位，并能正确划分和掌握定位信息的能力。【直击答案】根据题干关键词“many people work parttime”定位到第三段第二句“Many people who work parttime jobs actually want fulltime jobs”。由此句可知，那些从事兼职工作的人实际想拥有全日制工作。接着第三句明确指出他们从事兼职工作的原因：“They take parttime because this is all they can get”。言外之意是说，人们目前只能得到兼职工作，而无法获得全职工作。故正确答案为C项。【干扰排除】A项、B项、D项在文中均没有出现，属于无中生有。

    The Industrial Age and Employment

    The industrial age has been the only period of human history in which most people's
    work has taken the form of jobs.The industrial age may now be coming to an end,and
    some of the changes in work patterns which it brought about may have to be reversed.This
    seems a daunting（大胆的）thought. But, in fact, it could offer the prospect of a better
    future for work.Universal employment,as its history shows,has not meant economic freedom.
    Employment became widespread when the enclosures of the 17th and 18th centuries
    made many people dependent on paid work by depriving（剥夺）them of the use of the
    land,and thus of the means to provide a living for themselves.Then the factory system
    destroyed the cottage industries and removed work from people's homes.Later,as
    transport improved, first by rail and then by road, people commuted（乘车往返）longer
    distances to their places of employment until,eventually,many people's work lost all
    connection with their home lives and the places in which they lived.
    Meanwhile,employment put women at a disadvantage.In pre-industrial times,men
    and women had shared the productive work of the household and village community.Now it
    became customary(惯例的）for the husband to go out to paid employment, leaving the
    unpaid work of the home and family to his wife.Tax and benefit regulations still assume this
    norm today,and restrict more flexible sharing of work roles between the sexes.
    It was not only women whose work status suffered.As employment became the
    dominant form of work,young people and old people were excluded-a problem now,as
    more teenagers become frustrated at school and more retired people want to live active lives.
    All this may now have to change.The time has certainly come to switch some efforts
    and resources away from the utopian（乌托邦的）goal of creating jobs for all, to the urgent
    practical task of helping many people to manage without full-time jobs.

    A.large number of teenagers will quit school next year.
    A:Right
    B:Wrong
    C:Not mentioned

    答案：C

    【听力原文】
    M: If you look at any list of New Year’s resolutions you wouldn’t be surprised to see find a better job fight at the top. Vera Gibbons of Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine is here with some tips to help you get a better job or maybe take on a career change. Good morning, Vera.
    　　W: That’s right, good morning, nice to see you.
    　　M: Nice to see you too. Happy New Year.
    　　W: Same to you.
    　　M: Start the new year, start looking for a new job, what’s amazing is how many people are actually thinking of doing that this year.
    　　W: Yes, one survey found that 75％of American workers plan to look for a new job this year. They’re unhappy with the pay; they’re unhappy with the situation at their work; they want new challenges; there’s no room for advancement with their current employer, so a lot of people are going to be out there looking for work, and this is the time of year that we are more inclined to actually take the bull by the horns, take the initiative to go out there and find that job.
    　　M: That whole resolution thing.
    　　W: Yes.
    　　M: Is there a good time to go about doing this?
    　　W: Well you know, the opportunities pop up all year long but, yes, the heaviest of hiring generally does take place at the beginning of the year, early, they fire at the end of the year, they hire in the new. They fire for Christmas, and then hire in the next year.
    　　M: So if you think about doing it, you really should get out there now.
    　　W: Get out there now and get the ball rolling, yes.
    　　M: What about the job market in 2007, what does it look like?
    　　W: It is softening a little bit, job growth is slowing down some, because of the contraction in housing and all of those sectors, but that’s been offset a bit by the service sector. Those types of companies are hiring in the service industry. We’re actually expecting 1.3 million jobs to be created this year. And one survey by Career Builder actually found 40 percent of employers will be hiring full-time employees this year. So it’s not a bad time, it’s not great, it’s OK.
    　　M: OK, so if you’re ready to take the plunge, if you wanna get out there, you have some tips. NO. 1 is Do Some Soul Searching.
    　　W: Yes, I just think in order to get out of a job that isn’t going anywhere, a career that’s gonna drift, you really have to sit down and be proactive here, you can’t be reactive you have to be proactive. Motivation is really the key to making any changes in your personal life. People may sit back and say: well I’m getting a paycheck. The benefits are good. Why rock the boat? Here’s the thing, we’re spending that half of our life in the workplace, if you’re unhappy, do some soul searching, figure out where you are, and where you would like to go.
    　　M: And part of that isyou say prioritize your options. What do you mean?
    　　W: Yeah, I mean write down 5-10 things that are important to you in your job, in your career, maybe you wanna a better work-life balance, more flexible schedule whatever that happens to be again, take a look at what’s making you happy, what makes you unhappy, take a look at your goals, your dreams, your aspirations and then put together a plan to actually reach those goals. Because you’re more inclined to get there if you have a plan in place.
    　　M: Good idea. You can actually write these all out. Also of course when you’re going out for that job search, you gotta have the resume, so you say make that resume stand out.
    　　W: Yeah, you know, employer sonly spend about 10 seconds looking at your resume and on…
    　　M: Ten seconds?
    　　W: Yeah, and get this on average for every 245 resumes, they get, they only interview one person for 245 resumes. So it’ very competitive. You need to have your resume stand out, keep it short, keep it succinct, keep it to the point, focus on your measurable accomplishments. And because you’re gonna be looking for different jobs you should be highlighting different skills, different experiences, so it may be relevant for one position but not for another, so you wanna highlight different ones, have several different versions of the resume, all ready to go, then get out there, do the networking.
    　　M: OK, and just briefly, you say do not look online, but do a lot of networking.
    　　W: A lot of networking. That’s the key.
    　　M: Vera Gibbons, thanks so much!
    　　W: Thanks.
