2010年职称英语考试综合B级阅读理解教材原文及答案综合B阅读理解：immigration and Problems原文再现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 tre ated 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 cou ntry illegally. Proposed legislation from other politicians called for stricter measures - incl uding rounding up undocumented immigrants and sending them back to their home countri es.Canadian officials say that immigration applications continue to rise. Some want to kee p the doors open. They need the labor. About 400,000 immigrants were allowed into the country in 2005, according to the Canadian Government statistics. However, all this growt h 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 Isl ands and showing no sign of abating, the Spanish Government has decided to get tough. There will be no more mass amnesties for illegal, and anyone coming to Spain without p ermission 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 h as promoted local authorities to appeal to the United Nations for help.France's new immigration and integration law gives the government new powers to enc ourage high-skilled migration. It takes effect in 2007. The new law authorizes the govern ment to identify particular professions where France has a talent shortage. Then the gover nment will help these identified employers find immigrant workers with needed skills or q ualifications. The selected foreign employees will be granted "skills and talents" visas, vali d for three years. But some concern that it'll cause brain drain3 in developing countries.练习：1.

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 home.B) undermine the unity of the country.C) drain developing countries of talent.D) induce resentment among the French workers.5.

By the end of the day, 20,000 of them were dead, and another 30,000 wounded or missing. The Battle of the Somme, 1 it is called, lasted for six months1. When it e nded, 125,000 British soldiers were dead. They had gained five kilometers of ground.This was one of a series of great battles during the WWI.

The number 1 cause of anxiety is the ever-increasing cost of housing and property, the survey reported. About 76 percent of office workers are over-worked and not entirely healthy, according to samples from 3 million health checks in 15 cities.Less than 3 percent of the respondents interviewed are completely healthy, said the White Paper on the Health of Chinese White-collar Workers, released on Sunday by the Chinese Medical Doctors' Association.The survey interviewed people aged between 26 and 45, with monthly incomes of between 5,000 yuan ($732) to 10,000 yuan. Many higher-income people between the ages of 35 and 50 are biologically 10 years older than their actual age, with declining health, the survey said.Buying property ranks as the most significant cause of pressure for 46 percent of those interviewed, followed by parents' health, difficulty in finding a spouse, and children's education.The increasing gap between income and housing prices is causing the most stress and some 85 percent of families cannot afford to buy a house, the survey said. The ratio of housing prices to family income should be three to six times, while in China the ratio this year is expected to reach 8.3, far beyond reasonable, the Economic Blue Paper published yesterday by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences reported. The survey said that the land supply system and developers' land stockpiles have also contributed to the out-of-reach property prices.Commercial property prices have gone up 5 to 10 percent, with a square metre costing between 4,935 to 5,280 yuan. From January to August of 2009, developers invested 2,111 billion yuan in property, up 14.7 percent from the previous year. Revenue from the sale of commercial property was 2,346.3 billion yuan, up 69.9 percent from 2008.Property prices are the talk of the town, and this topic reached a peak in 2009 as the Chinese television drama, Dwelling Narrowness, became a hit with many viewers across the country. The 35-episode series has touched a nerve with city dwellers who empathize with the characters in the drama, according to media reports. Caught in a debate between reality and morality, the audience could not help but connect with the distress and pressure experienced by the characters, caused by the cost of living in a city, according to television analysts.Most young college graduates and migrant workers who settle into jobs in big cities would prefer to buy an apartment rather than rent, according to media reports. However, rising housing prices make owning an apartment very difficult. Ownership creates a burden that costs parents' their entire savings or results in decades of mortgage loans.Wang Ke, a purchasing manager with a monthly salary of 10,000 yu'an, had to borrow money from her grandmother for the down payment for her apartment. With a monthly mortgage of 4,000 yuan, Wang said saving money is now virtually impossible. "Housing prices go up every day, though my salary doesn't," she said.Do the following statements agree with the information given in the passage and the picture? Write:Y (for YES) if the statement agrees with the information given in the passage;N (for NO) if the statement contradicts the information given in the passage;NG (for NOT GIVEN) if the information is" not given in the passage.61. The survey of stress on Chinese white-collar workers was co-conducted by the Beijing HealthProtection Association and the Chinese Medical Doctors' Association.62. Forty-six percent of those interviewed did occasional exercise and felt that property prices are themajor pressure.63. The ratio of housing prices to family income in China is lower than the usual standard. Fill in each blankwith no more than three words to complete the sentences according to the passage.64. Commercial property prices have increased by ______________ percent according to the survey.65. Wang Ke, who took part in the survey, bought her apartment by borrowing money from _________ forthe down payment and paying a monthly mortgage.Section C (10 marks)Lisa Tyler was weary after a long, hard day at the pottery factory where she works, but as she approached her home in the English city of Stoke-on-Trent, her heart lightened; soon she would be having a nice cup of tea, putting her feet up and watching Friends, her favorite TV series. But first, she needed to change out of her work clothes and pick up her three-year-old son from his grandmother's house nearby.As Lisa walked up her garden path, she noticed a light flashing on and off in an upstairs bedroom. A shiver went down her back. What if it was a burglar? Quietly, she crept round to the back of the house to see if there was any sign of a break-in. Sure enough, a window was open and someone's coat was hanging on the gatepost!Well, 26-year-old Lisa didn't fancy coming face to face with a burglar, so she ran to a neighbour's house and rang the police. As she sat waiting for the police to arrive, Lisa's curiosity got the better of her and she decided to go back and see what was going on. That's when she saw a leg coming out of the downstairs front window. It was a man climbing out. Lisa gasped in shock. The burglar was carrying her portable television!At this point, Lisa saw red. She didn't have many possessions and she'd saved long and hard to buy that set. Besides, nobody was going to stop her watching Friends."Oh no, you don't." she muttered under her breath, as fury swelled inside her. Without even stopping to think, she tore across the garden and started shouting at the burglar, "Give me my TV -drop it now! "Ignoring her, the man fled across the garden, so Lisa threw herself at him and successfully rugby tackled him to the ground. The burglar struggled to escape, but Lisa hung on like the best kind of guard dog, despite being punched and kicked. As she looked up, she realized that she recognized the burglar's face. She was so surprised that she lost her grip and the burglar got away, leaving the TV behind in the garden.By the time the police and her father arrived, Lisa was in tears. "I can't believe you were so foolish, Lisa," scolded her father. "You could have been killed.""I know, but at least he didn't get my TV." she replied.Lisa later remembered the name of the burglar, who had been in the same year as her at school.He was later caught and jailed for 15 months after committing a burglary and assault. In May last year, Lisa was given a Certificate of Appreciation by Staffordshire police for her "outstanding courage and public action". In the future, however, she intends to leave household security to a new member of her family, Chan, who is a real guard dog.Answer the questions in no more than 10 words.66. What first led Lisa to think there was a burglar in her house?67. Why didn't Lisa wait in her neighbor's house until the police arrived?68. What does "Lisa saw red (in the 4th paragraph)" most probably mean?69. What did the burglar do when Lisa shouted at him?70. How did Lisa help to catch the burglar later?Section D (10 marks)Melting GlaciersSeveral glaciers in the Alps have already disappeared in as fewas 40 years. In the Patagonian ice fields of Argentina, someglaciers have receded one and one-half kilometers in the last 13years. In the Himalayan Mountains, glaciers are melting so fastthat runoff sometimes floods the surrounding areas. Their fateis a preview of the future of other glaciers on Earth.The shrinking of the world's glaciers will have massiveconsequences for communities that depend on ice melt for theirwater. In the short-term, these consequences mayappear beneficial. For example, extra water from glaciersmeans that hydroelectric dams will run at maximum power. Inthe long run, however, the melting of Earth's glaciers could becatastrophic. Today's extra hydroelectric power has been stolenfrom the future. Communities with ample power now may havenone after the glaciers have melted and have stopped fillingreservoirs. Likewise, water for irrigation, drinking,transportation, and nuclear power stations will slow to thelevels provided solely by rainfall. The loss of ice will increasesea levels worldwide.Temperature change and a lack of snow is causing the retreat of the glaciers. According to many scientists, our planet is getting warmer. In the Alps, for example, temperatures have risen an average of 1-1.5 degrees Celsius (1.8-3 degrees Fahrenheit) since 1850. During the same period, Alpine glaciers in Switzerland have lost about half of their volume. Likewise, temperatures have changed in the Tien Shan Mountains in southern Kazakhstan. Researchers there have discovered a small rise in temperature, 0.5 degrees Celsius, over the last 50 years and even this is enough to reduce glaciers dramatically over time.As temperatures have increased, precipitation has decreased. Glaciers no longer build up during snowy winter months which also contributes to their decrease in size over in the long run.The warming of our globe is often blamed on human activity, such as the burning of fossil fuels, especially in industrialized nations. Automobile emissions and industrial waste are increasing the quantity of greenhouse gases in our atmosphere, possibly causing increased temperatures. However, scientists have not definitively tied human activity to the current temperature rise.Some scientists argue that global warming may be a normal trend of the Earth's temperature violations. One theory argues that we are near the end of a so-called "Little Ice Age", and that the retreat of the glaciers is a natural result of this cycle. Whether natural or produced by humans, there is little hope for the immediate future of glaciers as we know them.Complete the summary below by choosing no more than three words from the passage.Part V Translation (20 marks)Section A (10 marks)Translate the underlined sentences in the following passage into Chinese. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.Top UK Universities Warn of Damage from Budget CutsThe heads of 20 of the UK's most prestigious universities have warned that government plans to cut funding will lead to a higher education "meltdown".In an article for the Guardian, the Russell Group said the gold standard education they now offer would be reduced to one of bronze or worse. (76) Universities are facing cuts of more than ￡900m over the next three years, and fear worse is still to come. The government said funding for frontline teaching was protected.The strongly worded article by the university heads is intended as a dire warning against forcing universities to bear the brunt of the need to slash public spending after the general election.It said: "(77) It has taken more than 800 years to create one of the world's greatest education systems and it looks like it will take just six months to bring it to its knees. Such huge cuts in university budgets would have a devastating effect not only on students and staff, but also on Britain's international competitiveness, economy and ability to recover from recession."The Russell Group, which includes Oxford and Cambridge universities as well as Warwick and Glasgow among others, said the upshot would be universities facing the closure of hundreds of courses, with fewer academic staff and bigger closes. (78) It said reports suggested that as many as 30 universities might not survive in their current form if even minimal funding cuts were introduced.The article also highlighted higher education spending in other countries. "(79) Nicolas Sarkozy has just announced an investment of 11 billion Euros in higher education in France, stating he wants 'the best universities in the world," it said. "Germany pumped a total of 18 billion Euros into promoting world-class research alongside university education, while Barack Obama ploughed an additional US$21 billion into federal science spending."(80) The article calls for ministers to consider reversing proposed cuts and for assurances that no further cuts will be imposed.Section B (10 marks)Translate the underlined sentences of the following passage into English.

Sunday.Questions 16-20 are based on the following passage:Firefighters are often asked to speak to school and community groups about the importance of fire safety, particularly fire prevention and detection. Because smoke detectors reduce the risk of dying in a fire by half, firefighters often provide audiences with information on how to install these protective devices in their homes. Specifically, they tell them these things: A smoke detector should be placed on each floor of a home. While sleeping, people are in particular danger of an emergent fire, and there must be a detector outside each sleeping area. A good site for a detector would be a hallway that runs between living spaces and bedrooms.Because of the dead-air space that might be missed by hot air bouncing around above a fire, smoke detectors should be installed either on the ceiling at least four inches from the nearest wall, or high on a wall at least four, but no further than twelve, inches from the ceiling.Detectors should not be mounted near windows, entrances, or other places where drafts (过堂风) might direct the smoke away from the unit. Nor should they be placed in kitchens and garages, where cooking and gas fumes are likely to cause false alarms.16. One responsibility of a firefighter is to ______________.A. install smoke detectors in residents' homesB. check if smoke detectors are properly installedC. speak to residents about how to prevent firesD. develop fire safety programs for schools17.

What is the focus of this passage?A. The proper installation of home smoke detectors.B. How firefighters carry out their responsibilities.C. The detection of dead-air space on walls and ceilings.D. How smoke detectors prevent fires in homes.Questions 21-25 are based on the following passage:Watch out! Here comes London Mayor Boris Johnson riding a bicycle from his new bike hire plan. "What we've put in is a new form of public transport. These bikes are going to belong to everybody."More than 12,000 people have signed up for the plan. They each receive a key at a cost of three pounds, with costs at one pound for a 24-hour membership, five pounds for seven days, and 45 pounds for an annual membership.John Payne, a London teacher who cycles a lot, is among the first to use the system. "It's very comfortable. For people who don't cycle much I think it'll be very useful. But for people who cycle regularly, they are possibly a bit slow. But they're perfect for London streets, very strong. I think they'll be very widely used."And Johnson says it's of good value. "I think it's extremely good value. The first half hour is free. If you cycle smart and you cycle around London--most journeys in London take less than half an hour, you can cycle the whole day free." Some 5,000 bikes are currently available at over 300 docking stations (租车点) in central London. Johnson says the city will gradually expand the system.
