Each passage is 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 and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Throughout the nation’s more than 15,000 school districts, widely differing approaches to teaching science and math have emerged. Though there can be strength in diversity, a new international analysis suggests that this variability has instead contributed to lackluster (平淡的) achievement scores by U.S. children relative to their peers in other developed countries.Indeed, concludes William H. Schmidt of Michigan State University, who led the new analysis, “no single intellectually coherent vision dominates U.S. educational practice in math or science.” The reason, he said, “is because the system is deeply and fundamentally flawed.”The new analysis, released this week by the National Science Foundation in Arlington, Va., is based on data collected from about 50 nations as part of the Third International Mathematics and Science Study.Not only do approaches to teaching science and math vary among individual U.S. communities, the report finds, but there appears to be little strategi c focus within a school district’s curricula, its textbooks, or its teachers’ activities. This contrasts sharply with the coordinated national programsof most other countries.On average, U.S. students study more topics within science and math than their international counterparts do. This creates an educational environment that “is a mile wide and an inch deep,” Schmidt notes.For instance, eighth graders in the United States cover about 33 topics in math versus just 19 in Japan. Among science courses, the international gap is even wider. U.S. curricula for this age level resemble those of a small group of countries including Australia, Thailand, Iceland, and Bulgaria. Schmidt asks whether the United States wants to be classed with these nations, whose educational systems “share our pattern of splintered (支离破碎的) visions”but which are not economic leaders.The new report “couldn’t come at a better time,” says Gerald Wheeler, executive director of the National Science Teachers Association in Arlington. “The new National Science Education Standards provide that focused vision,” including the call “to do less, but in greater depth.”Implementing the new science standards and their math counterparts will be the challenge, he and Schmidt agree, because the decentralized responsibility for education in the United States requires that any reforms be tailored and instituted one community at a time.In fact, Schmidt argues, reforms such as these proposed national standards “face an almost impossible task, because even though they are intellectually coherent, each becomes only one more voice in the babble (嘈杂声).”21. According to the passage, the teaching of science and math in America is ________.A) losing its vitality graduallyB) characterized by its diversityC) going downhill in recent yearsD) focused on tapping students’ potential22. The fundamental flaw of American school education is that ________.A) it attaches too much importance to intensive study of school subjectsB) it relies heavily on the initiative of individual teachersC) it sets a very low academic standard for studentsD) it lacks a coordinated national program23. By saying that the U.S. educational environment is “a mile wide and an inch deep” (Line 2, Para. 5), the author means U.S. educational practice ________.A) scratches the surface of a wide range of topicsB) lays stress on quality at the expense of quantityC) encourages learning both in depth and in scopeD) offers an environment for comprehensive education24. The new National Science Education Standards are good news in that they will ________.A) solve most of the problems in school teachingB) provide depth to school science educationC) quickly dominate U.S. educational practiceD) be able to meet the demands of the community25. Putting the new science and math standards into practice will prove difficult because ________.A) many schoolteachers challenge the acceptability of these standardsB) there is always controversy in educational circlesC) not enough educators have realized the necessity for doing soD) school districts are responsible for making their own decisionsPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.I had an experience some years ago which taught me something about the ways in which people make a bad situation worse by blaming themselves. One January, I had to officiate at two funerals on successive days for two elderly women in my community. Both had died “full of years,”as the Bible would say; both yielded to the normal wearing out of the body after a long and full life. Their homes happened to be near each other, so I paid condolence (吊唁) calls on the two families on the same afternoon.At the first home, the son of the deceased (已故的) woman said to me, “If only I had sent my mother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow, she would be alive today. It’s my fault that she died.”At the second home, the son of the other deceased woman said, “If only I hadn’t insisted on my mother’s going to Florida, she would be alive today. That long airplane ride, the abrupt change of climate, was more than she could take. It’s my fault that she’s dead.”When things don’t turn out as we would like them to, it is very tempting to assume that had we done things differently, the story would have had a happier ending. Priests know that any time there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty. Because the course of action they took turned out badly, they believe that the opposite course-keeping Mother at home, postponing the operation—would have turned out better. After all, how could it have turned out any worse? There seem to be two elements involved in our readiness to feel guilt. The first is our pressing need to believe that the world makes sense, that there is a cause for every effect and a reason for everything that happens. That leads us to find patterns and connections both where they really exist and where they exist only in our minds.The second element is the notion that we are the cause of what happens, especially the bad things that happen. It seems to be a short step from believing that every event has a cause to believing that every disaster is our fault. The roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood. Psychologists speak of the infantile myth of omnipotence (万能). A baby comes to think that the world exists to meet his needs, and that he makes everything happen in it. He wakes up in the morning and summons the rest of the world to its tasks. He cries, and someone comes to attend to him. When he is hungry, people feed him, and when he is wet, people change him. Very often, we do not completely outgrow that infantile notion that our wishes cause things to happen.26. What is said about the two deceased elderly women?A) They lived out a natural life.B) They died due to lack of care by family members.C) They died of exhaustion after the long plane ride.D) They weren’t accustomed to the change in weather.27. The author had to conduct the two women’s funerals probably because ________.A) he had great sympathy for the deceasedB) he wanted to console the two familiesC) he was priest of the local churchD) he was an official from the community28. People feel guilty for the deaths of their loved ones because ________.A) they believe that they were responsibleB) they had neglected the natural course of eventsC) they couldn’t find a better way to express their griefD) they didn’t know things often turn out in the opposite direction29. In the context of the passage, “... the world makes sense” (Line 2, Para, 4) probably means that ________.A) we have to be sensible in order to understand the worldB) everything in the world is predeterminedC) there’s an explanation for everything in the worldD) the world can be interpreted in different ways30. People have been made to believe since infancy that ________.A) every story should have a happy endingB) their wishes are the cause of everything that happensC) life and death is an unsolved mysteryD) everybody is at their commandPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.“I’ve never met a human worth cloning,” says cloning expert Mark Westhusin from his lab at Texas A&M University. “It’s a stupid endeavor.” That’s an interesting choice of adjective, coming from a man who has spent millions of dollars trying to clone a 13-year-old dog named Missy. So far, he and his team have not succeeded, though they have cloned two cows and expect to clone a cat soon. They just might succeed in cloning Missy this spring—or perhaps not for another 5 years. It seems the reproduc tive system of man’s best friend is one of the mysteries of modern science. Westhusin’s experience with cloning animals leaves him upset by all this talk of human cloning. In three years of work on the Missy project, using hundreds upon hundreds of dog’s eggs, the A&M team has produced only a dozen or so embryos (胚胎) carrying Missy’s DNA. None have survived the transfer to a surrogate (代孕的) mother. The wastage of eggs and the many spontaneously aborted fetuses (胎) may be acceptable when you’re dealing with cats or bulls, he argues, but not with humans. “Cloning is incredibly ineffi cient, and also dangerous,” he says. Even so, dog cloning is a commercial opportunity, with a nice research payoff. Ever since Dolly the sheep was cloned in 1997, Westhusin’s phone has been ringing with people calling in hopes of duplicating their cats and dogs, cattle and horses. “A lot of people want to clone pets, especially if the price is right,” says Westhusin. Cost is no obstacle for Missy’s mysterious billionaire owner; he’s put up $3.7 million so far to fund A&M’s research.Contrary to some media reports, Missy is not dead. The owner wants a twin to carry on Missy’s fine qualities after she does die. The prototype is, by all accounts, athletic, good-natured and supersmart. M issy’s master does not expect an exact copy of her. He knows her clone may not have her temperament. In a statement of purpose, Missy’s owner and the A&M team say they are “both looking forward to studying the ways that her clones differ from Missy.”Besides cloning a great dog, the project may contribute insight into the old question of nature vs, nurture. It could also lead to the cloning of special rescue dogs and many endangered animals. However, Westhusin is cautious about his work. He knows that even if he gets a dog pregnant, the offspring, should they survive, will face the problems shown at birth by other cloned animals: abnormalities like immature lungs and heart and weight problems~ “Why would you ever want to clone humans,Westhusin asks, “when we’re not even close to getting it worked out in animalsyet?”31. By “stupid endeavor” (Line 2, Para. 1), Westhusin means to say that ________.A) human cloning is a foolish undertakingB) animal cloning is absolutely impracticalC) human cloning should be done selectivelyD) animal cloning is not worth the effort at all32. What does the first paragraph tell us about Westhusin’s dog cloning project?A) Its success is already in sight.B) It is doomed to utter failure.C) It is progressing smoothly.D) Its outcome remains uncertain.33. By cloning Missy, Mark Westhusin hopes to ________.A) examine the reproductive system of the dog speciesB) find out the differences between Missy and its clonesC) search for ways to modify.its temperamentD) study the possibility of cloning humans34. We learn from the passage that animal clones are likely to have ________.A) an abnormal shapeB) a bad temperC) defective organsD) immune deficiency35. It can be seen that present cloning techniques ________.A) provide insight into the question of nature vs, nurtureB) have been widely used in saving endangered speciesC) have proved quite adequate for the cloning of humansD) still have a long way to go before reaching maturityPassage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Frustrated with delays in Sacramento, Bay Area officials said Thursday they planned to take matters into their own hands to regulate the region’s growing pile of electronic trash.A San Jose councilwoman and a San Francisco supervisor said they would propose local initiatives aimed at controlling electronic waste if the California law-making body fails to act on two bills stalled in the Assembly. They are among a growing number of California cities and counties that have expressed the same intention.Environmentalists and local governments are increasingly concerned about the toxic hazard posed by old electronic devices and the cost of safely recycling those products. An estimated 6 million televisions and computers are stocked in California homes, and an additional 6,000 to 7,000 computers become outdated every day. The machines contain high levels of lead and other hazardous substances, and are already banned from California landfills (垃圾填埋场). Legislation by Senator Byron Sher would require consumers to pay a recycling fee of up to $30 on every new machine containing a cathode (阴极) ray tube. Used in almost all video monitors and televisions, those devices contain four to eight pounds of lead each. The fees would go toward setting up recycling programs, providing grants to non-profit agencies that reuse the tubes and rewarding manufacturers that encourage recycling.A separate bill by Los Angeles-area Senator Gloria Romero would require high-tech manufacturers to develop programs to recycle so-called e-waste.If passed, the measures would put California at the forefront of national efforts to manage the refuse of the electronic age.But high-tech groups, including the Silicon Valley Manufacturing Group and the American Electronics Association, oppose the measures, arguing that fees of up to $30 will drive consumers to online, out-of-state retailers.“What really needs to occur is consumer education. Most consumers are unaware they’re not supposed to throw computers in the trash,” said Roxa nne Gould, vice president of government relations for the electronics association.Computer recycling should be a local effort and part of residential waste collection programs, she added.Recycling electronic waste is a dangerous and specialized matter, and environmentalists maintain the state must support recycling efforts and ensure that the job isn’t contracted to unscrupulous (毫无顾忌的) junk dealers who send the toxic parts overseas.“The graveyard of the high-tech revolution is ending up in rural China,” said Ted Smith, director of the Silicon Valley Toxics Coalition. His group is pushing for an amendment to Sher’s bill that would prevent the export of e-waste.36. What step were Bay Area officials going to take regarding e-waste disposal?A) Rally support to pass the stalled bills.B) Lobby the lawmakers of the California Assembly.C) Lay down relevant local regulations themselves.D) Exert pressure on manufacturers of electronic devices.37. The two bills stalled in the California Assembly both concern ________.A) the reprocessing of the huge amounts of electronic waste in the stateB) regulations on dumping hazardous substances into landfillsC) the funding of local initiatives to reuse electronic trashD) the sale of used electronic devices to foreign countries38. Consumers are not supposed to throw used computers in the trash because ________.A) this is banned by the California governmentB) some parts may be recycled for use elsewhereC) unscrupulous dealers will retrieve them for profitD) they contain large amounts of harmful substances39. High-tech groups believe that if an extra $30 is charged on every TV or computer purchased in California, consumers will ________.A) hesitate to upgrade their computersB) abandon online shoppingC) buy them from other statesD) strongly protest against such a charge40. We learn from the passage that much of California’s electronic waste has been ________.A) dumped into local landfillsB) exported to foreign countriesC) collected by non-profit agenciesD) recycled by computer manufacturersPart III V ocabulary (20 minutes)Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

Any products, like tapes, CDs and hi-tech devices, can be copied, not to mention books. Shortly after a newly-published book hits the shelves, people will unsurprisingly find its pirated counterparts in the stores. It has been widely believed that piracy has caused a great loss to legitimate producers, inventors and authors in many ways. To start with, pirated products often cost much less than the original ones, so they enjoy unbeatable advantage in price in spite of their relatively poor quality. The original ones, on the contrary, sell badly. As far as pirated books are concerned, they do great' harm to the authors' reputation due to their misprints. In the long run, pirated products may also have a negative impact on customers since those legitimate producers' enthusiasm may be greatly hurt by the fact that some customers are more inclined to purchase pirated products.In my opinion, it's high time that the government called on everyone to start the battle against piracy. Besides, as customers, we should develop our consciousness to resist pirated products. And laws should be strictly carried out to ban piracy from spreading any further. Only in this way can we put an end to piracy and create a healthy environment for both customers and producers.二、Cloze（共20小题,共10.0分）There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

It is not likely that everyone is mistaken in this; it shows, rather, that the ability to judge rightly and separate the true from the false, which is essentially what is called good sense or reason, is by nature equal in all men, and thus that our opinions differ not because some men are better endowed with reason than others, but only because we direct our thoughts along different paths, and do not consider the same things, for it is not enough to have a good mind: what is most important is to apply it rightly. The greatest souls are cap able of the greatest vices; and those who walk very slowly can advance much further, if they always keep to the direct road, than those who run and go astray. For my part, I have never presumed my mind to be more perfect than average in an y way; I have, in fact, often wished that my thoughts were as quick, or my imagination as precise and distinct, or my memory as capacious or prompt, as those of some other men.And I know of no other qualities than these which make for the perfection of the mind; for as to reason, or good sense, in as much as it alone makes us men and distinguishes us from the beasts, I am quite willing to believe that it is whole and entire in each of us, and to follow in the common opinion of the philosophers who say that there are differences of more or less only among the accidents, and not among the forms, or natures, of the individuals of a single species.21. According to the author, the three elements that comprise our mind are_____.A tenacity of thought, capacious memory, quickness of mindB precise of wit, ease of conscience, quickness of thoughtC quickness of wit, ease of conscience, quickness of thoughtD promptness of memory, distinctness of imagination, quickness of thought22. The basic idea of the first paragraph may be stated as follows .A all persons have an equal portion of good will when they are bornB great souls are capable of great evilC good sense, in terms of its distribution among persons, may be called co mmon senseD good sense is the mark of the truly good person23. About himself, the author states that ______.A he had always sensed his mental superiority over most personsB his awareness of his mental superiority over others was something that g rew slowly with experienceC he actually regards his own mental faculties as inferior in many ways to those of the great majority of personsD he has never had the feeling that his mind was more than average in any way24. The author claims that what sets human beings apart from beasts is_____.A a sense of organization combined with the ability to createB the ability to adapt to the surroundingsC a sense of reason coupled with a strong sense of practicalityD asense of reason25. According to the author the ability to distinguish between the true and the false is _____.A endowed by nature to all creaturesB endowed in equal measure to all personsC more heavily present in some persons than in othersD an unnatural, cultivated trait in all personsPassage 2Prices determine how resources are to be used. They are also the means by which products and services that are in limited supply are rationed among buyers. The price system of the United States is a very complex network composed of the prices of all the products bought and sold in the economy as well as those of a myriad of services, including labor, professional transportation, and public utility services. The interrelationships of all these prices make up the“system”of prices. The price of any particular product or service is linked to a broad, complicated system of prices in which everything seems to depend more or less upon everything else.If one were to ask a group of randomly selected individuals to define“price,”many would reply that price is an amount of money paid by the buyer to the seller of a product of service or, in other words, that price is the money value of a product of service as agreed upon in a market transaction. This definition is, of course, valid as far as it goes. For a complete understanding of a price in any particular transaction, much more than the amount of money involved must be known. Both the buyer and the seller should be familiar with not only the money amount, but with the amount and quality of the product or service to be exchange d, the time and place at which the exchange will take place and payment will be made, the form of money to be used, the credit terms and discounts that supply t o the transaction, guarantees on the product or service, deliveryterms, return privileges, and other factors. In other words, both buyer and seller should be fully aware of all the factors that comprise the total“package”being exchanged for the asked-for amount of money in order that they may evaluate a given price.26. What is the best title for the passage?A The Inherent Weaknesses of the Price System.B The Complexities of the Price System.C Credit Terms in Transactions.D Resource Allocation and the Public Sector.27. According to the passage, the price system is related primarily to_____.A labor and educationB transportation and insuranceC utilities and repairsD products and services28. According to the passage, which of the following is NOTa factor in the complete understanding of price?A Instructions that come with a product.B The quantity of a product.C The quality of a product.D Warrenties that cover a product.29. In the last sentence of the passage,“they”refers to_____ .A return privilegesB all the factorsC buyer and sellerD money30. The paragraph following the passage most likely discusses_____ .A unusual ways to advertise productsB types of payment plans for serviceC theories about how products affect different levels of societyD how certain elements of a price“package”influence its market value Passage 3 In the past oysters were raised in much the same way as dirt farmers raised tomatoes—by transplanting them. First, farmers selected the oyster bed, cleared the bottom of old shells and other debris , and then scattered clean shells about. Next they“planted”fertilized oyster eggs, which within two or thre e weeks hatched into larvae. The larvae drifted until they attached themselves to the clean shells on the bottom. There theyremained and in time grew into baby oysters called seed or spat . The spat grew larger by drawing in seawater from which they derived microscopic particles of food. Before long, farmers gathered the baby oysters, transplanted them in other waters to speed up their growth, and then transplanted them once more into another body of water to fatten t hem up.Until recently the supply of wild oysters and those crudely farmed were more than enough to satisfy people's needs. But today the delectable seafood is no longer available in abundance. The problem has become so serious that some oyster bed s have vanished entirely.Fortunately, as far back as the early 1900's marine biologists realized that if new measures were not taken, oysters would become extinct or at best a luxury food. So they set up well equipped hatcheries and went to work. But they did not have the proper equipment or the skill to handle the eggs. They did not know when, what, and how to feed the larvae. And they knew little about the predators t hat attacked and ate baby oysters by the millions. They failed, but they doggedly kept at it. Finally, in the 1940's a significant breakthrough was made.The marine biologists discovered that by raising the temperature of the water, t hey could induce oysters to spawn not only in the summer but also in the fall, winter, and spring. Later they developed a technique for feeding the larva e and rearing them to spat. Going still further, they succeeded in breeding new s trains that were resistant to diseases, grew faster and larger, and flourished in water of different salinities and temperatures. In addition, the cultivated oysters tasted better!31. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A The Threatened Extinction of Marine LifeB The Cultivation of OystersC The Discoveries Made by MarineBiologistsD The Varieties of Wild Oysters32. In the passage, which of the following is NOT mentioned as a stage of a n oyster's life?A DebrisB Egg C LarvaeD Spat33. According to the passage, which of the following words best describes t he efforts of themarine biologists working with oysters?A Persistent.B Intermittent.C Traditional.D Fruitless.34. In the passage, the author mentions that the new strains of oyster are______ .A cheaper B shaped differentlyC better texturedD healthier35. Which of the following best describes the organization of the passage?A Step by step description of the evolution of marine biology.B Discussion of chronological events concerning oyster production.C Random presentation of facts about oysters.D Description of oyster production at different geographic locations.Passage 4Chemistry did not emerge as a science until after the scientific revolution in t he seventeenth century and then only rather slowly and laboriously. But chemical knowledge is as old as history, being almost entirely concerned with the practical arts of living. Cooking is essentially a chemical process; so is the melting of metals and the administration of drugs and potions. This basic chemical know ledge, which was applied in most cases as a rule of thumb, was nevertheless dependent on previous experiment. It also served to stimulate a fundamental curiosity about the processes themselves. New information was always being gained as artisans improved techniques to gain better results.The development of a scientific approach to chemistry was, however, hampered by several factors. The most serious problem was the vast range of material available and theconsequent difficulty of organizing it into some system. In addition, there were social and intellectual difficulties, chemistry is nothing if not practical; those who practice it must use their hands, they must have a certain practical flair. Yet in many ancient civilizations, practical tasks were primarily the province of a slave population. The thinker or philosopher stood apart from this mundane world, where the practical arts appeared to lack any intellectual content or interest.The final problem for early chemical science was the element of secrecy. Experts in specific trades had developed their own techniques and guarded their knowledge to prevent others from stealing their livelihood. Another factor that contributed to secrecy was the esoteric nature of the knowledge of alchemists, who were trying to transform base metals into gold or were concerned with the hunt for t he elixir that would bestow the blessing of eternal life. In one sense, the second of these was the more serious impediment because the records of the chemical processes that early alchemists had discovered were often written down in symbolic language intelligible to very few or in symbols that were purposely obscure.36. What is the passage mainly about? A The scientific revolution in the seventeenth centuryB Reasons that chemistry developed slowly as a scienceC The practical aspects of chemistryD Difficulties of organizing knowledge systematically37. According to the passage, how did knowledge about chemical processes in crease before the seventeenth century?A Philosophers devised theories about chemical properties.B A special symbolic language was developed.C Experience led workers to revise their techniques.D Experts shared their discoveries with the public.38. The word“hampered" in Line 1 Para 2 is closest in meaning to_____ . A recognizedB determinedC solvedD hindered39. The word“it" in Line 3 Para 2 refers to which of the following? A problemB materialC difficultyD system40. Which of the following statements best explains why“the second of the se was the more serious impediment" (Lines 5-6 Para 3 )? A Chemical knowledge was limited to a small number of people.B The symbolic language used was very imprecise.C Very few new discoveries were made by alchemists.D The records of the chemical processes were not based on experiments.Part III Vocabulary (20 minutes)Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

Choose the best one an d mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET by blackening the corresponding letter in the bracket s. (10 points)Traditional marriage in Britain is currently in a disturbance. Not only is the divorce rate rising, 71 the rate at which people marry is falling. Living together is more popular than 72 before. The shape of the family is now no longer one man, one woman and their children. Instead, there are 73numbers of families which include step-parents, half sisters and brothers, or merely one lonely parent coping 74 her own.Compared with other countries, Britain is still conservative in its marriage pat terns. In America, the divorce rate is 75 more shocking. Two ou t of five marriages 76 divorce. In Sweden living together is now more popular than marriage among couples in their early twenties and a similar 77 seems to be emerging in Denmark.Although this is happening on a smaller 78 in Britain, it has not yet become such a marked trend.

Technological advancements, globalization, and demographic shifts are all contributing to a transformation in the way we work. In the past, most people worked in traditional jobs with a clear set of tasks and a predictable career path. Today, however, the job market is becoming more fluid and complex, with new types of jobs emerging and old ones disappearing.B) One of the most significant trends in the future of work is the increasing importance of digital skills. As technology continues to evolve, more and more jobs will require a basic level of digital literacy. Thisincludes skills such as using computers, the Internet, and software applications. In addition, specialized digital skills such as data analysis, programming, and artificial intelligence will be in high demand.C) Another trend is the rise of the gig economy. The gig economy refers to a labor market characterized by short-term contracts or freelance work. Workers in the gig economy often have more flexibility and autonomy than traditional employees, but they also face greater uncertainty and instability. Platforms such as Uber, Airbnb, and Upwork have made it easier for people to find gig work, and the gig economy is expected to continue to grow in the future.D) The future of work will also see a greater emphasis on soft skills. Soft skills are non-technical skills such as communication, teamwork, problem-solving, and leadership. These skills are becoming increasingly important as automation and artificial intelligence take over many routine tasks. Employers are looking for workers who can think critically, adapt to change, and work well with others.E) Remote work is another trend that is likely to continue in the future. The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the adoption of remote work, and many companies have realized that it can be a more efficient and cost-effective way of working. Remote work allows employees to work from anywhere, which can improve work-life balance and reduce commuting time. However, it also requires workers to be self-motivated and disciplined.F) The future of work will also bring new challenges and opportunities for workers. On the one hand, workers will need to constantly update their skills and knowledge to keep up with the changing demands of the job market. On the other hand, new technologies and business models will create new opportunities for entrepreneurship and innovation.G) Education and training will play a crucial role in preparing workers for the future of work. Traditional education systems may not be able to keep up with the rapid pace of change, so alternative forms of education such as online courses, boot camps, and micro-credentials will become more important. Workers will also need to take responsibility for their own learning and development, continuously seeking out new skills and knowledge.H) In conclusion, the future of work is likely to be very differentfrom what we are used to. It will require workers to be adaptable, flexible, and constantly learning. Employers will need to invest in training and development to ensure that their workers have the skills they need to succeed. And policymakers will need to create policies that support the transition to a new world of work.34. The job market is becoming more fluid and complex due to various factors.35. Digital skills will be increasingly important in the future of work.36. The gig economy offers more flexibility but also brings greater uncertainty.37. Soft skills are becoming more important as automation takes over routine tasks.38. Remote work has been accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic.39. Workers will face both challenges and opportunities in the futureof work.40. Alternative forms of education will be more important for preparing workers for the future.41. Workers need to be adaptable and constantly learning in the future of work.42. Employers should invest in training and development for their workers.43. Policymakers should create policies to support the transition to a new world of work.Section C.Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is 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 and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage One.Questions 44 to 48 are based on the following passage.The concept of sustainable development has gained increasing attention in recent years. Sustainable development refers to the development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It emphasizes the importance of balancing economic, social, and environmental considerations.One of the key aspects of sustainable development is environmental protection. As the global population grows and economic activities expand, the pressure on the environment is increasing. Issues such as climate change, pollution, and resource depletion are becoming more serious. To achieve sustainable development, it is necessary to take measures toprotect the environment, such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions, conserving natural resources, and promoting renewable energy.Another important aspect of sustainable development is social equity. This means ensuring that the benefits of development are shared fairly among all members of society. In many developing countries, there are large disparities in income, education, and access to basic services. To promote social equity, it is necessary to invest in education, healthcare, and infrastructure, and to create job opportunities for the poor and disadvantaged.Economic development is also an essential part of sustainable development. A strong economy is needed to provide the resources and infrastructure necessary for environmental protection and social equity. However, economic development should not come at the expense of the environment or social well-being. Instead, it should be based onsustainable business practices and innovation.In conclusion, sustainable development is a complex and challenging concept that requires the cooperation and efforts of all sectors of society. Governments, businesses, and individuals all have a role to play in promoting sustainable development. By working together, we can create a more sustainable future for ourselves and future generations.44.

Who should play a role in promoting sustainable development according to the passage?A) Only governments.B) Only businesses.C) Only individuals.D) Governments, businesses, and individuals.Passage Two.Questions 49 to 55 are based on the following passage.In today's digital age, privacy has become a major concern. With the increasing use of technology and the Internet, our personal information is being collected, stored, and shared more than ever before. This has led to a growing awareness of the importance of protecting our privacy.One of the main threats to privacy is the collection and use of personal data by companies. Many companies collect vast amounts of data about their customers, including their names, addresses, phone numbers, and purchasing habits. This data can be used for a variety of purposes, such as marketing, advertising, and improving customer service. However, if this data falls into the wrong hands, it can be used for malicious purposes, such as identity theft and fraud.Another threat to privacy is the use of surveillance technologies. Governments and law enforcement agencies are increasingly usingsurveillance cameras, GPS tracking devices, and other technologies to monitor people's activities. While these technologies can be used for legitimate purposes, such as preventing crime and ensuring public safety, they can also be abused and used to invade people's privacy.。
