摘要:Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Nothing can better illustrate the failure of education in this country than the contrast between millions of college graduates finding it hard to get a proper job every year and the lack of workers in the more industrialized regions. According to news from Dongguan , one of the 50 manufacturing centers in the Pearl River Delta region in South China, “over 90 percent factories have said they are finding 51 difficult to employ people from the second half of 2009, when the 52 began picking up and overseas orders restarted pouring in. Running to full capacity seems a dream that the factories had 53 . An awkward reality is that only few, 54 , of the new college graduates could really fill the vacancies because the trainings they have received are entirely 55 from the demands of the jobs. Nor will Chinese cities have enough workforce if they pursue a development model other than export-based manufacturing. The 56 for that is simple: The knowledge about management graduates gather is totally out of step with reality, 57 of them can hardly express themselves in English or compose an email message properly, and 58 handle even paper work in a law service with the legal knowledge they have. I 59 some college teachers, whom I went to college with, that the amount of time an average college student spends on studies today is less than half of what we 60 in the late 1970s when proper college education was recovered after the “cultural revolution . “They have enrolled so many students just to 61 from their parents (tuition and other charges) , one of the teachers said embarrassedly. “It's a nationwide phenomenon, you know. It is hard to believe that a country should not 62 education so seriously when there are no longer as many young people as before and view its opportunities only in terms of immediate financial gains, which greatly affects the quality of education. 63 , vocational education faces a double threat: frequent ups and downs in the business cycle and that of a flooding of cheap college certificates. It is 64 in a country with rapid development in many fields to see little reform and progress in its education system. When colleges are reduced to money-making machines, they cannot help a society create enough workers, thinkers and leaders. 50. A. necessary B. key C. new D. remote 51. A. this B. that C. it D. as 52. A. economy B. country C. city D. industry 53. A. in the near future B. at present time C. from time to time D. in the long past 54. A. and some B. but none C. if any D. because such 55. A. different B. same C. opposite D. similar 56. A. result B. method C. reason D. expectation 57. A. some B. most C. few D. all 58. A. can B. must C. can’t D. mustn’t 59. A. took from B. picked out C. caught sight of D. learned from 60. A. spent B. cost C. wasted D. detected 61. A. cost money B. make money C. create money D. deal with 62. A. put B. set C. make D. take 63. A. Although B. Besides C. However D. Therefore 64. A. common B. likely C. worthwhile D. surprising Section B Directions: Read the following four passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) In our culture, the sources of what we call a sense of “mastery - feeling important and worthwhile - and the sources of what we call a sense of “pleasure - finding life enjoyable - are not always the same. Women often are told “You can’t have it all. Sometimes what the speaker really is saying is: “You choose a career, so you can’t expect to have closer relationships or a happy family life. or “You have a wonderful husband and children - what’s all this about wanting a career? But women need to understand and develop both aspects of well-being, if they are to feel good about themselves. Our study shows that, for women, well-being has two aspects. One is mastery, which includes self-respect, a sense of control over your life, and low levels of anxiety and depression. Mastery is closely related to the “doing side of life, to work and activity. Pleasure is the other aspect, and it is made up of happiness, satisfaction and optimism. It is tied more closely to the “feeling side of life. The two are independent of each other. A woman could be high in mastery and low in pleasure, and vice versa. For example, a woman who has a good job, but whose mother has just died, might be feeling very good about herself and in control of her work life, but the pleasure side could be damaged for a time. The concepts of mastery and pleasure can help us identify the sources of well-being for women, and correct past mistakes. In the past, women were encouraged to look only at the feeling side of life as the source of all well-being. But we know that both mastery and pleasure are important. And mastery seems to be achieved largely through work. In our study, all the groups of employed women were valued significantly higher in mastery than women who were not employed. A woman’s well-being is developed when she takes on multiple roles. At least by middle adulthood, the women who were involved in a combination of roles - marriages, motherhood, and employment - were the highest in well-being, in spite of warnings about stress and strain. 65. It can be inferred from the first paragraph that . A. for women, a sense of “mastery is more important than a sense of “pleasure B. for women, a sense of “pleasure is more important than a sense of “mastery C. women can’t have a sense of “mastery and a sense of “pleasure at the same time D. a sense of “mastery and a sense of “pleasure are both necessary to women 66. The author’s attitude towards women having a career is . A. negative B. positive C. indifferent D. realistic 67. One can conclude from the passage that if a woman takes on several social roles, . A. it will be easier for her to overcome stress and strain B. she will be more successful in her career C. her chances of getting promoted will be greater D. her life will be richer and more meaningful 68. Which of the following can be considered as a source of “pleasure for women? A. Family life B. Multiple roles in society C. Regular employment D. Freedom from anxiety

Though the bus stopped about two miles from home, Dad never met me, even in bad weather. So when I went away to college, I knew I was in for a long  36  whenever I came home.
