第4题：
资料： The poverty line is the minimum income that people need for an acceptable standard of living. People with incomes below the poverty line are considered poor. Economists study the causes of poverty in order to find solutions to the problem.
As the general standard of living in the country rises, the poverty line does, too. Therefore, even with today’s relatively high standard of living, about 10 percent of the people in the United States are below the poverty line. However, if these people had stable jobs, they could have an acceptable standard of living. Economists suggest several reasons why poor people do not have jobs.
For one thing, more than half of the poor people in the United States are not qualified to work. Over 40 percent of the poor. People are children. By law, children less than 16 years old cannot work in many industries. A large number of poor people are Old. Many companies do not hire people over 65 years old, the normal retirement age.
Some poor adults do not look for jobs for a variety of personal reasons: they are sick, they do not have any motivation, they have family problems, or they do not believe that they can find a job.
Other poor people look for a job but cannot find one. Many poor adults never went to high school. Therefore, when they look for jobs, they have few skills that they can offer.
At the present time, the government thinks it can reduce poverty in the country in the following ways. First, if the national economy grows, businesses and industries hire more workers. Some of the poor who are qualified to look for jobs may find employment. Then they will no longer be below the poverty line. Second, if society invests in the poor, the poor will become more productive. If the government spends money on social programs, education, and training for poor people, the poor will have the skills to offer. Then it is more likely that they can find jobs.
Finally, if the government distributes society's income differently, it raises some poor people above the poverty line. The government collects taxes from the non－poor and gives money to the poor. These payments to the poor are called welfare. In 1975 over 18 million people in the United States received welfare.
Some economists are looking for better solutions to the poverty problem. However, at the present time, many people depend on welfare for a minimally acceptable standard of living.

【主题句】倒数第二段Finally, if the government distributes society's income differently, it raises some poor people above the poverty line. The government collects taxes from the non－poor and gives money to the poor. These payments to the poor are called welfare. （最后，如果政府分配社会收入不同，会将一些穷人提升到贫困线之上。政府从非贫困人口中征税，把钱分给穷人。我们把这些分给穷人的费用称为福利。）
【解析】第4题问“目前保证基本生活水平的最终办法是什么？”。根据问题里的“last solution”找到倒数第二段。该段说通过征税的方法，政府把收集上来的钱发给贫困人口，从而使他们摆脱贫困线以下的境遇，这种方法被称为福利。A选项“国民经济增长”，文章第六段出现“First, if the national economy grows”，属于第一个解决方法，和问题里的last不符，排除；B选项“来自非贫困阶级的税收”，和主题句当中的“The government collects taxes from the non－poor（政府从非贫困人口中征税）”信息一致，即为答案；C选项“更多可选择的职位”，文章第六段指出“First, if the national economy grows, businesses and industries hire more workers.（如果国民经济增长，工商业会雇佣更多的人）”，和C选项有更多的职位一致，但和题干里的last solution不一致；D选项“政府更多地投资穷人，提高其工作技能”，第六段“Second… If the government spends money on social programs, education, and training for poor people, the poor will have the skills to offer. （第二，如果政府投资更多的钱在社会项目，教育，贫困人口培训上，穷人就会有工作能力。）”该句话和D选项一致，但属于第二个解决方法，和last solution不一致。 -

事实细节的找寻和判断。录音中关于cosmopolitan city（世界性城市）的说法是“…Singapore is a cosmopolitan city, with people from different parts of the world living and working together”，可知在新加坡这样的世界性大城市，来自世界各地的人们在那里共同生活和工作。由此可知，选项A与录音相关内容相符。 -

单选题What is worth nothing from the example of Athens County is that _____.Agreater efforts should be made to improve people’s living standards
B70 percent of the people there have been, employed for two years
C50 percent of the population no longer relies on welfare
Dthe living standards of most people are going down
正确答案： C解析：
细节推断题。B项“70%的人就业已达2年”。第二段称70%的脱离福利照顾的人在过去两年里参加了工作，但并没说该郡70%的人参加工作已达2年，故B项有误。C项“50%的人口不再依赖福利政策”，文而章说雅典郡的贫困率在30%以上，为全国贫困率的2倍，显然C项错误。D项“大多数人的生活水平在下降”也与文章不符。A项“为提高人民生活水准尚须做出巨大努力”与第三段“作为穷人的代言人，这表明，尚须做更多的努力”属同义转述。因此，A项为答案。 -

问答题Test 13 We are now living in a society of severe competition. Students need to compete for better school; companies compete for better products and more customers. Many people neglect the role of cooperation. What do you think of the relationship between competition and cooperation? Write on ANSWER SHEET TWO a composition of about 200 words on the following topic:COMPETITION AND COOPERATION You are to write in three parts. In the first part, state specifically what your idea is. In the second part, provide one or two reasons to support your idea OR describe your idea. In the last part, bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or a summary. Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar and appropriateness. Failure to follow the instructions may result in a loss of marks.正确答案：
【参考范文】
It is often believed that competition and cooperation are in opposition to each other. We are now living in a society of severe competition. Students need to compete for better schools; companies have to compete for better products and more customers. And there is constant competition for jobs, fame, and wealth and so on. Cooperation is often neglected by many people. Here I would like to say that both competition and cooperation play an important role in social progress.
Competition is the impetus of the constant development of the human society. The pressure of competition can force people to try their best and give people a sense of the pursuit of excellence. Without competition people would be satisfied with their present condition and society would not advance. A strong desire to succeed and do better than others inspires us to work harder. However, we also need to know the importance of cooperating with others. It’s unimaginable for an individual to live without society. In many cases, people need to cooperate with each other to overcome difficulties. Mere competition may lead to failure.
To succeed in life, we must learn that both com- petition and cooperation are indispensable. Competition will make us always be active to create while cooperation gives us the possibility of working together to overcome obstacles.解析： 暂无解析 -

【主题句】第二段Therefore, even with today's relatively high standard of living, about 10 percent of the people in the United States are below
the poverty line. However, if these people had stable jobs, they could have an acceptable standard of living.（因此，即使今天有相对较高的生活水平，大约有百分之十的美国人处于贫困线以下。然而，如果他们有稳定的工作，就会满意自己的生活水平。）；倒数第二段The government collects taxes from the non－poor and gives money to the poor.

However, at the present time, many people depend on welfare for a minimally acceptable standard of living.（一些经济学家寻找更好解决贫困问题的方法。然而目前，许多人依靠福利勉强糊口。）
【解析】第5题问“我们可以从文章推断出什么？”。A选项“如果穷人有机会做生意，他们就会走出贫困线。”文章第三段第三句话说“如果穷人有稳定的工作，他们就会满意自己的生活水平，”这里并没有说他们要去做生意，属于过度推测，所以A选项排除；B选项“福利会使人们富裕”。文章在倒数第二段涉及到福利（welfare），但并未说给福利会让人变有钱，也属于过度推测，故排除；C选项“就业是解决贫困的最佳方法”。文章在最后一段第一句提到“一些经济学家寻找更好解决贫困问题的方法”，换言之，目前没有最好解决贫困的方法；D选项“人们尚未发现更好解决贫困的方法”，最后一段第一句说经济学家仍然在寻找解决问题的方法，言外之意目前并未出现解决贫困的最佳方法，所以D选项和原文信息一致。 -

You come home alone after a long day at work. You open the door to your home. No one is there. Is it blessed silence you hear -or echoing emptiness?
Millions of people who live alone today may have either experience. Some love living alone, yet others wish they didn’t have to.
When they open that door at night, people who live alone do not have to put up with demands or listen to someone’ s noise or meet anyone’ s dinner deadlines. They do not have to debate about which TV program to watch or stay off the phone because someone else is expecting an important call. No one else messes up their kitchen.
But when they are sick, no one else will bring them an aspirin or call the doctor. Preparing dinner for one can be difficult, and eating dinner for one night after night can be very lonely. Perhaps no one really cares what they did all day. If they are feeling sad, there may be no one to cheer them up. Some people who live alone say the worst times come when something very good happens because there is no one to share the joy.
