1、单选题:
‏Section B‎‏Directions: In this part there is a passage followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice.‎Americans are pound of their variety and individuality, yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform, whether it is the uniform of an elevator operator or the uniform of a five-star general. Why are uniforms so popular in the United States?‎Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professional than civilian(百姓的)clothes. People have become conditioned to expect superior quality from a man who wears a uniform. The television repairman who wears uniform tends to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes. Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform. What easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a barber, or a waiter to lose professional identity(身份)than to step out of uniform?‎Uniforms also have many practical benefits. They save on other clothes. They save on laundry bills. They are tax-deductible(可减税的). They are often more comfortable and more durable than civilian clothes.‎Primary among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the consequent loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear them. Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement. When people look alike, they tend to think, speak, and act similarly, on the job at least.‎Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems. Though they are long-lasting, often their initial expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes. Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain, requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes.‎21. It is surprising that Americans who worship variety and individuality _______.‎
选项:

1、单选题:
‎Section B‍‎Directions: In this part there is a passage followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice.‍‎‍Across the rich world, well-educated people increasingly work longer than the less-skilled. Some 65% of American men aged 62-74 with a professional degree are in the workforce, compared with 32% of men with only a high-school certificate. This gap is part of a deepening divide between the well-educated well-off 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 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 greater longevity (长寿) translated into more years in retirement rather than more years at work, has persuaded many observers that this shift will lead to slower economic growth, while the swelling ranks of pensioners will create government budget problems.‍But the notion of a sharp division between the working young and the idle old misses a new trend, the growing gap between the skilled and the unskilled people, whereas older skilled folk are working longer. The divide is most extreme in America, where well-educated baby-boomers (二战后生育高峰期出生的美国人) are putting off retirement while many less-skilled younger people have dropped out of the workforce.‍Policy is partly responsible. Many European governments have abandoned policies that used to encourage people to retire early. Rising life expectancy (预期寿命), combined with the replacement of generous defined-benefit pension plans with less generous defined-contribution ones, means that 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 reap rich rewards into old age because these days the educated elderly are more productive than the preceding generation. Technological change may well reinforce that shift: the skills that complement computers, from management knowhow to creativity, do not necessarily decline with age.‍‍‎21. What is happening in the workforce in rich countries?‍
选项:
A: Younger people are replacing the elderly.
B: Well-educated people tend to work longer.
C: Unemployment rates are rising year after year.
D: People with no college degree do not easily find work.
答案: 【 Well-educated people tend to work longer.

2、单选题:
‍What has helped deepen the divide between the well-off and the poor?‍‍‍
选项:
A: Longer life expectancies.
B: Profound changes in the workforce.
C: A rapid technological advance.
D: A growing number of the well-educated.
答案: 【 Profound changes in the workforce.

3、单选题:
‏What do many observers predict in view of the experience of the 20th century?​‏​
选项:
A: Economic growth will slow down.
B: Government budgets will increase.
C: More people will try to pursue higher education.
D: There will be more competition in the job market.
答案: 【 Economic growth will slow down.

4、单选题:
‎What is the result of policy changes in European countries?‎
选项:
A: Unskilled workers may choose to retire early.
B: More people have to receive in-service training.
C: Even wealthy people must work longer to live comfortably in retirement.
D: People may be able to enjoy generous defined-benefits from pension plans.
答案: 【 Even wealthy people must work longer to live comfortably in retirement.

5、单选题:
‏What is characteristic of work in the 21st century?‍‏‍
选项:
A: Computers will do more complicated work.
B: More will be taken by the educated young.
C: Most jobs to be done will be creative ones.
D: Skills are highly valued regardless of age.
