2012职称英语测试理工类B级模拟考题四(4)四、阅读理解1.Immigration and ProblemsHundreds of thousands of people supporting immigration rights in the US filled streets all over America in early 2006. Many held signs and American flags and asked to be treated as citizens - not criminals. Many of these supported legislation from Senator John McCain that would open a path to citizenship to immigrants who were already in the country illegally. Proposed legislation from other politicians called for stricter measures - including rounding up undocumented immigrants and sending them back to their home countries.Canadian officials say that immigration applications continue to rise. Some want to keep the doors open. They need the labor. About 400,000immigrants were allowed into the country in 2005, according to the Canadian Government statistics. However, all this growth means that cities need to adapt. Newcomers don’t always make a smooth transition into jobs for which they are skilled. So industries are using mentoring programs to help new immigrants find proper jobs.With the large numbers of undocumented African immigrants arriving in the Canary Islands and showing no sign of abating, the Spanish Government has decided to get tough. There will be no more mass amnesties for illegals, and anyone coming to Spain without permission will be sent back, the government has announced. About 23,000 migrants landed on the islands in 2006, and riots have erupted in some crowded reception centers. This has promoted local authorities to appeal to the United Nations for help.France’s new immigration and integration law gives the government new powers to encouragehigh-skilled migration. It takes effect in 2007. The new law authorizes the government to identify particular professions where France has a talentshortage. Then the government will help these identified employers find immigrant workers with needed skills or qualifications. The selected foreign employees will be granted “skills and talents” visas, valid for three years. But some concern that itll cause brain drain in developing countries.(1).Many immigrants swarmed into streets in the US in early 2006, demanding that they should be treated asA animalsB citizensC civiliansD criminals(2).Some Canadian officials want to keep the door open becauseA Canada is in desperate need of talented people.B Canada can feed a much larger population.C Canada is suffering from labor shortage.D Canada is a multicultural country.(3).What has the Spanish Government decided to do?A Help immigrants find proper jobs.B Let immigrants freely enter the country.C Integrate immigrants into the Spanish culture.D Take tough measures against illegal immigration.(4).After France’s new immigration and integration law takes effect, it willA lure overseas students back homeB undermine the unity of the countryC drain developing countries of talentD induce resentment among the French workers(5).The phrasal verb rounding up in paragraph 1 could be best replaced byA capturingB encirclingC separatingD frightening。

第一篇Oseola McCartyLATE ONE SUNDAY AFTERNOON in September 1999, Oseola McCarty, an elderly cleaning lady passed away in the little wooden flame house where she had lived and worked most of her life. It may seem like an ordinary end to a humble life, but there was something quite exceptional about this woman.In the summer of 1995, McCarty gave $150,000, most of the money she had saved throughout her life, to the University of Southern Mississippi in her hometown. The money was to help other African Americans through university.She had started her savings habit as a young child when she would return from school to clean and iron for money which she would then save.She led a simple, frugal existence, never spending on anything but her most basic needs. Her bank also advised her on investing her hard-earned savings.When she retired, she decided that she wanted to use the money to give children of limited means the opportunity to go to university. She had wanted to become a nurse, but had to leave school to look after ill relatives and work. When asked why she had given her life savings away, she replied, "I'm giving it away so that children won't have to work so hard, like I did." After news of her donation hit the media, over 600 donations were made to the scholarship fund. One was given by media executive, Ted Turner, who reputedly gave a billion dollars.She didn't want any fuss made over her gift, but the news got out and she was invited all over the United States to talk to people. Wherever she went, people would come up to her to say a few words or to just touch her.She met the ordinary and the famous, President Clinton included. In the last few years of her life, before she died of cancer, McCarty was given over 300 awards：she was honoured by the United Nations and received the Presidential Citizen's Medal. Despite having no real education, she found herself with two honorary doctorates：one from the University of Southern Mississippi andthe other from Harvard University. Her generosity was clearly an inspiration to many and proof that true selflessness does exist.Oseola Marcaty31.

She gave her money away because ______.A. she wanted to help the universityB. she wanted others to have the chance to become nursesC. she wanted others to have the opportunity to escape a hard lifeD. she want to be remembered after her death【答案】：C34.

Marcarty’s generosity indicates clearly thatA. scholarship funds are popular in USB. Kind-hearted people deserves doctoratesC. Selflessness exists in human societyD. Poor people can donate as much as rich people【博大考神答案】：C36题—39题From Ponzi to MadoffThe year was 1920. The country was the United States of America. The man's name was Charles Ponzi. Ponzi told people to stop depositing money in a savings account. Instead, they should give it to him to save for them. Ponzi promised to pay them more than the bank. For example, a savings account might pay you $5 a year for every $100 you deposit. Ponzi, however, would pay you $40 a year for every $100 you gave him to hold. Many people thought this was a good plan. They began to give their money to Ponzi.How could Ponzi make so much money for people? This is what he did with the money people gave him: He used some of that money to pay other people who gave him money. However, he also kept a lot of the money for himself. Soon he had $250 million. This was a kind of theft, and it was against the law. The people who gave him their money didn't think anything was wrong. Ponzi paid them every month, just like a bank. Ponzi continued this way of working for two years. Then one day, he didn't have enough money to pay all the people. They discovered his crime, and he went to prison for fraud.Ninety years later, people began to hear about a businessman in New York named Bernard Madoff. People said he gave good advice about money. They said when they gave him their money, he paid them a lot more than the bank. Madoff helped hospitals, schools, and individuals earn money. Over a period of 40 years, people gave him $170 billion. However, no one investigated what he did with the money. The people who gave Madoff their money also didn't think anything was wrong because he paid them every month.One day, Madoff didn't have enough money to pay all the people he needed to pay. That's when people discovered how Madoff worked: He was taking money from some people to pay other people, just the way Charles Ponzi did. However, this time, instead of losing millions of dollars, people lost billions.Madoff was accused of fraud, and United States government officials arrested him. He didn't have to go on trial because he said he was guilty.In 2009, a judge sentenced him t0 150 years in prison. Bernard Madoff's crime was even bigger than Ponzi's. It was the biggest fraud in history. The lesson of this story is clear: When something seems too good to be true, it probably is!36. For every $100, Ponzi promised to pay peopleA. $5 a year.B. $20 a year.C. $40 a year.D. $100 a year.【博大考神答案】：C声明：本资料由博大考神职称英语考试网()收集整理，由博大教育职称考试英语专家提供，转载请注明出自服务：博大考神面向参加全国职称考试人群，想考生所想，帮您获取高分、成功过关。
