第一篇:Citizen ScientistsUnderstanding how nature responds to climate change will require monitoring key life cycle1 events — flowering, the appearance of leaves, the first frog calls of the spring — all around the world. But ecologists can't be everywhere so they're turning to non-scientists, sometimes called citizen scientists, for help.Climate scientists are not present everywhere. Because there are so many places in the world and not enough scientists to observe all of them, they're asking for your help in observing signs of climate change across the world. The citizen scientist movement encourages ordinary people to observe a very specific research interest — birds, trees, flowers budding, etc. — and send their observations to a giant database to be observed by professional scientists. This helps a small number of scientists track a large amount of data that they would never be able to gather on their own. Much like citizen journalists helping large publications cover a hyper-local beat2, citizen scientists are ready for the conditions where they live. All that's needed to become one is a few minutes each day or each week to gather data and send it3 in.A group of scientists and educators launched an organization last year called the National Phenology4Network. “Phenology”is what scientists call the study of the timing of events in nature.One of the group's first efforts relies on scientists and non-scientists alike to collect data about plant flowering and leafing every year. The program, called Project Bud Burst, collects life cycle data on a variety of common plants from across the United States. People participating in the project —which is open to everyone —record their observations on the Project Bud Burst website.“People don't have to be plant experts — they just have to look around and see what's in their neighborhood,” says Jennifer Schwartz, an education consultant with the project. “As we collect this data, we'll be able to make an estimate of how plants and communities5 of plants and animals will respond as the climate changes.”词汇:frog / fr?g/ n.蛙ecologist / ,i:’k?l?d??st/ n.生态学家bud / b?d / v.发芽,萌芽;n.芽,花蕾database / ’de?t?be?s / n.数据库professional / pr?(?)’fe??n?l/ adj.专业的,职业的;n.职业选手,专业人员phenology / f?’n?l?d?? / n.物候学neighbor(u)rhood n.近邻;邻近地区注释:1.life cycle:生命周期,即生物发展过程的系列变化。

第一篇Studies Show US Spending Doesn’t Get Best HealthThe United States many spend twice as much on health care as other rich countries1, but it is not getting results to match2 according to studies released on Tuesday.But in the study of five wealthy countries, published in the journal Health Affairs, researchers found no single nation had clearly the worst or best health care system.Gerard Anderson at Johns Hopkins University’s school of public health and colleagues came up with3 a list of 21 health fields they could evenly compare across the five countries —Australia, Canada, Britain, New Zealand and the United States."None of the five countries is consistently the best or the worst on all 21 indicators." Anderson said during a telephone briefing for reporters."If you are looking for the place to get the best care, there isn’t a single place. Every country has at least one indicator where it scores the best of the five countries and each country has at least one indicator where it scores the worst of the five countries. "But, he said, the United States is not getting value for money. "The United States should be particularly concerned about these results, given that we spend twice as much on health care as any other country. So spending more doesn’t necessarily result in4 "better outcomes."Anderson’s group of international he alth experts sponsored by the Commonwealth Fund spent five years working on the study, getting the latest possible data from the five countries on areas such as breast cancer and leukemia survival, suicide rates, death rates from asthma, vaccination rates and cancer screening.词汇:Indicator /ˈɪndɪkeɪtə(r)/n.指标;指示者Leukemia l(j)u:'ki:mɪə n.白血病Briefing [ˈbri:fɪŋ]n.基本情况介绍会Asthma [ˈæsmə]n.哮喘’Commonwealth [ˈkɒmənwe lθ] n.联邦Vaccination [ˌvæksɪ'neɪʃn] n.种痘从调查可以看出化学教案天津的家长们还是比较理的化学教案更认同培养孩子量力而行化学教案对海外游学breast/brest/n.乳房;乳腺注释:注释:1.spend twice as much on health care as other rich countries:在卫生保健方面的花费是其他富裕国家的两倍2.to match:(在数量或质量上)相当3.came up with:想出,提出4.result in:导致练习:1.The US spends twice as much on health care as other rich countries.A.

Shark Attack!小心鲨鱼!Craig Rogers was sitting on his surfboard, 克雷格?罗杰斯正坐在他的冲浪板上,scanning the distance for his next wave,估算着下一波浪离他还有多远,when his board suddenly stopped moving. 就在这时冲浪板不动了。
He looked down and was terrified to see a great white shark biting the front of his board. 他低头向水下看,惊悚的一幕出现了:一条大白鲨正在撕咬冲浪板的前端。
“I could have touched its eye with my elbow,”says Craig.“我的肘部可能都已经碰到了它的眼睛”,克雷格谈道。
The shark had surfaced so quietly that he hadn't heard a thing.原来,这条鲨鱼悄悄地浮上了水面,完全没让克雷格听到。
In his horror and confusion,he waved his arms and accidentally cut two of his fingers on the shark's teeth. 克雷格惊慌害怕,手足无措,但是偶然之间他被鲨鱼咬掉了两支手指,He then slid off the opposite side of his surfboard into the water.然后随着滑板翻了个个儿,他也掉进水里。
Then, with Craig in the water and blood flowing from his fingers,the five-meter-long shark simply swam away, disappearing into the water below.就在那时,处于水中的克雷格两支手指鲜血直流,但这条五米长的鲨鱼却径直游开,消失在深海之中。
2015年新版职称英语教材新增文章系列之理工类阅读理解第二十二篇Real World RobotsWhen you think of a robot, do you envision a shiny, metallic device having the same general shape as a human being, performing humanlike functions, and responding to your questions in a monotone voice accentuated by high-pitched tones and beeps? This is the way many of us imagine a robot, but in the real world, a robot is not humanoid at all. Instead a robot often is a voiceless, box-shaped machine that efficiently carries out repetitive or dangerous functions usually performed by humans. Today’s robot is more than an automatic machine that performs one task again and again. A modern robot is programmed with varying degrees of artificial intelligence—that is, a robot contains a computer program that tells it how to perform tasks associated with human intelligence, such as reasoning, drawing conclusions, and learning from past experience.A robot does not possess a human shape for the simple reason that a two-legged robot has great difficulty remaining balanced. A robot does, however, move from place to place on wheels and axles that roll and rotate. A robot even has limbs that swivel and move in combination with joints and motors. To find its way in its surroundings1, a robot utilizes various built-in sensors. Antennae attached to the robot’s base detect anything they bump into. If the robot starts to teeter as it moves on an incline, a gyroscope or a pendulum inside it senses the vertical differential. To determine its distance from an object and how quickly it will reach the object,the robot bounces beams of laser light and ultrasonic sound waves off obstructions in its path2. These and other sensors constantly feed information to the computer, which then analyzes the information and corrects or adjusts the robot’s actions. As science and technology advance, the robot too will progress in its functions and use of artificial-intelligence programs.【词汇】envision v. 想象,预想device n. 装置accentuate v. 强调,重读artificial intelligence n. 人工智能limb n. 臂antennae n. 天线incline v. 倾斜pendulum n. 钟摆ultrasonic adj. 超声的metallic adj. 金属的monotone n. 单调的humanoid adj. 像人的axle n. 轮轴rotate v. 旋转swivel n. 旋转teeter v. 摇晃gyroscope n. 陀螺仪,回转仪vertical n. 直立的【注释】1.To find its way in its surroundings...:为了在周围找到路……2.the robot bounces beams of laser light and ultrasonic sound waves off obstructions in its path:机器人发射激光束和超声波,反射到障碍物上(以此来探知路径)。

New Foods and the New WorldIn the last500years,nothing about people---not their clothes, ideas,or languages---has changed as much as what they eat.The original chocolate drink was made form the seeds of the cocoa tree by South American Indians.The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world during the1500’s.And although it was very expensive,it quickly became fashionable.In London shops where chocolate drinks were served became important meeting places.Some still exist today.The potato is also from the New World.Around1600,the Spanish brought it from Peru to Europe,where it soon was widely grown. Ireland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during the"Potato Famine"of 1845-6,and thousands more were forced to emigrate to America. There are many other foods that have traveled from south America to the Old World.But some others went in the opposite direction. Brazil is now the world’s largest grower of coffee,and coffee is an important crop in Colombia and other South American countries.But it is native to Ethiopia.It was first made into a drink by Arabs during the1400’s.According to an Arabic legend,coffee was discovered when a goatherd named Kaldi noticed that his goats were attracted tothe red berries on a coffee bush.He tried one and experienced the"wide-awake"feeling that one-third of the world’s population now starts the day with.1.According to the passage,which of the following has changed the most in the last500years?A)Food.B)Chocolate.C)Potato.D)Coffee2."Some"in"Some still exist today"meansA)some cocoa trees.B)some chocolate drinks.C)some shops.D)some South American Indians.3.Thousands of Irish people starved during the"Potato Famine" becauseA)they were so dependent on the potato that they refused to eat anything else.B)they were forced to emigrate to America.C)the weather conditions in Ireland were not suitable for growing the potato.D)the potato harvest was bad.4.Coffee originally came fromA)Brazil.B)Colombia.C)Ethiopia.D)Arabia.5.The Arabic legend is used to prove thatA)coffee was first discovered by Kaldi.B)coffee was first discovered by Kaldi’s goats.C)coffee was first discovered in south American countries.D)coffee drinks were first made by Arabs.参考答案:ACDCDGood Modern NewspaperA good modern newspaper is an extraordinary piece of reading. It is remarkable first for what it contains:the range of news from local crime to international politics,from sport to business to fashion to science,and the range of comment and special features(特写)as well,from editorial page to feature articles and interviews to criticism of books,art,theatre and music.A newspaper is even more remarkable for the way one reads it:never completely,never straight through,but always by jumping:from here to there,in and out,glancing at one piece,reading another article all the way through,reading justa few paragraphs of the next.A good modern newspaper offers a variety to attract many different readers,but far more than any one reader is interested in.What brings this variety together in one place is its topicality(时事性),its immediate relation to what is happening in your world and your locality now.But immediacy and the speed of production that goes with it mean also that much of what appears in a newspaper has no more than transient(短暂的)value.For all these reasons,no two people really read the same paper:what each person does is to put together out of the pages of that day's paper,his own selection and sequence,his own newspaper.For all these reasons,reading newspapers efficiently,which means getting what you want from them without missing things you need but without wasting time,demands skill and self-awareness as you modify and applythe techniques of reading.A modern newspaper is remarkable for all the following EXCEPT its_____A.wide coverage.B.uniform style.C.speed in reporting news.D.popularity.37、According to the passage,the reason why no two people really read the"same"newspaper is that______A.people scan for the news they are interested in.B.different people prefer different newspapers.C.people are rarely interested in the same kind of news.D.people have different views about what a good newspaper is.38、It can be concluded from the passage that newspaper readers______A.apply reading techniques skillfully.B.jump from one newspaper to another.C.appreciate the variety of a newspa.per.ually read a newspaper selectively.39、A good newspaper offers"a variety"to readers because______A.it tries to serve different readers.B.it has to cover things that happen in a certain locality.C.readers are difficult to please.D.readers like to read different newspapers.40、The best title for this passage would be”_______”A.The Importance of Newspaper TopicalityB.The Characteristics of a Good NewspaperC.The Variety of a Good NewspaperD.Some Suggestions on How to Read a Newspaper参考答案:BADABQuality EducationA quality education is the ultimate liberator.It can free people from poverty,giving them the power to greatly improve their lives and take a productive place in society.It can also free communities and countries,allowing them to leap forward into periods of wealth and social unity that otherwise would not be possible.For this reason,the international community has committed itself to getting all the wodd's children into primary school by2015,a commitment known as Education for All.Can education for all be achieved by20157The answer is definitely"yes",although it is a difficult task.If we now measure the goal in terms of children successfully completing a minimum of five years of primary school,instead of just enrolling for classes,which used to be the measuring stick for education,then the challenge becomes even more difficult.Only 32countries were formerly believed to be at risk of not achieving education for all on the basis of enrollment rates. The number rises to88if completion rates are used as the criterion.Still,the goal is achievable with the right policies and theright support from the international community.59of the88 countries at risk can reach universal primary completion by 2015if they bring the efficiency and quality of their education systems into line with standards observed in higher-performing systems.They also need significant increases in external financing and technical support.The29countries lagging farthest behind will not reach the goal without unprecedented rates of progress.But this is attainable with creative solution,including use of information technologies,flexible and targeted foreign aid,and fewer people living in poverty.A key lesson of experience about what makes development effective is that a country's capacity to use aid well depends heavily on its policies,institutions and management.Where a country scores well on these criteria,foreign assistance can be highly effective.In the first paragraph,the author suggests that a quality education can______A.free countries from foreign rules.B.speed up social progress.C.give people freedom.D.liberate people from any exploitation.42、Ideally,the goal of the program of Education for All isto______by2015.A.get all the world's children to complete primary schoolB.enroll all the world's children into primary schoolC.give quality education to people of88countriesD.support those committed to transforming their education systems43、_____countries are now at risk of not achieving education for all on the basis of completion rates.A.32B.59C.29D.8844、According to the passage,which of the following is NOT mentioned as the right policy?A.Raising the efficiency of education systems.B.Improving the quality of education.ing information technologies.D.Building more primary schools.45、As can be gathered from the last paragraph,foreign aid______A.may not be highly effective.B.is provided only when some criteria are met.C.alone makes development possible.D.is most effective for those countries lagging farthest behind.参考答案:BBDDAMy Fast JobI was six when I joined my father and two elder brothers at sunrise in the hayfields of Eufaula,Oklahoma.By the time I was eight I was helping Dad fix up low-income rental properties. He gave me a penny for every nail I pulled out of old boards.I got my first real job,at JM's Restaurant in town,when I was12.My main responsibilities were clearing tables and washing dishes,but sometimes I helped cook.Every day after school I would head to JM's and work until ten. Saturdays I worked from two until eleven.At that age it was unlucky going to work and watching my friends run off to swim or play.I didn't necessarily like work,but I loved what working allowed me to have.Because of my job I was always the one buying when my friends and I went to the local bar Tastee Freez.This made me proud.Word that I was honest and hardworking got around town.A local clothing store extended credit to me although I was only in the seventh grade.I immediately charged a$68sports coat and a$22pair of trousers.I was making only65cents an hour,and I was already$90in debt!So I learned early the danger of easy credit.I paid it off as soon as I could.My first job taught me discipline,responsibility and brought me a level of personal satisfaction few of my friends had experienced.As my father,who worked three jobs,once told me, "If you understand sacrifice and commitment,there are not many things in life you can't have."How right he was!31When the author was a child,he was made to help his father work because___________A the restaurant was short of hands.B his family belonged to the low-income group.C he wanted to earn some money.D he was stronger than his two brothers.32At the age of12,the author got a job at a restaurant and often worked till late at night because___________A he liked that work.B he didn't like playing.C he was hard-working.D he felt rewarded by doing that work.33The word"Word"in the sentence"Word that I was honest and-hard-working got around town in the fourth paragraphmeans___________A statement.B advice.C news.D promise.34When the author was in the seventh grade,he was in debt because___________A he did not work any more.B he bought clothes on credit.C he was charged too much for the sports coat.D he made little money at that time.35What does the author want to tell the reader by this text?A If you know sacrifice and responsibility,you can have many things in life.B Children from poor families usually have a very unhappy childhood.C Children should be made to work and earn some money by themselves.D You will learn discipline and responsibility by working early in life.参考答案:31.C32.D33.C34.B35.AFord's Assembly LineWhen it comes to singling out those who have made a difference in all our lives,you cannot overlook Henry Ford.A historian a century from now might well conclude that it was Ford who most influenced all manufacturing,everywhere,even to this day,by introducing a new way to make cars one,strange to say,that originated in slaughterhouses(屠宰场).Back in the early1900's,slaughterhouses used what could have been called a"disassembly line".Ford reversed this process to see if it would speed up production of a part of an automobile engine called a magneto.Rather than have each worker completely assemble a magneto,one of its elements was placed on a conveyer,and each worker,as it passed,added another component to it,the same one each time.Professor David Hounshell of the University of Delaware,an expert on industrial development,tells what happened."The previous day,workers carrying out the entire process had averaged one assembly every20minutes.But on that day,on the line,the assemble team averaged one every13minutes and10 seconds per person."Within a year,the time had been reduced to five minutes.In 1913,Ford went all the way.Hooked together by ropes,partially assembled vehicles were towed(拖,拉)past workers whocompleted them one piece at a time.It hasn't long before Ford was turning out several hundred thousand cars a year,a remarkable achievement then.And so efficient and economical was this new system that he cut the price of his cars in half, to$260,putting them within reach of all those who,up until that time,could not afford them.Soon,auto makers and the world all copied him.In fact,heencouraged them to do so by writing a book about all of his innovations,entitled Today and Tomorrow.The Age of the Automobile has arrived.Today,aided by robots and other forms of automation(自动化),everything from toasters to perfumes is made on assembly lines.Which of the following statements about Henry Ford is NOT true____?A.He introduced a new way of production.B.He influenced all manufacturing.C.He inspired other auto makers.D.He changed a historian's mind.37、The writer mentions"slaughterhouses"because they were the places where____A.Ford's assembly line originatedB.Ford made his first carC.Ford readjusted the assembly lineD.Ford innovated the disassembly line38、A magneto is a technical term for____A.an automobileB.a production lineC.a part of an automobile engineD.a disassembly line39、the phrase"turning out"in the last paragraph could be best replaced by____A."producing"B."selling"C."buying"D."fixing"40、The invention of the assembly line enabled Henry Ford____A.to create more jobs for the unemployedB.to write a book on historyC.to reduce the price of his cars to$260D.to cut the production of his cars by50%参考答案:DACAC。
AlaskaIn1959Americans welcomed Alaska into the Unionas the49th state,symbolizing a changeof attitude from that held in 1867,when the peninsula(半岛)was purchased from Russia.Then, mostAmericans had littleinterest in 1.500000square kilometers of icebergs andpolar bears”—beyondCanada's western borders,far from the settled areas of theUnited States.1959年,美国从俄罗斯手中购得阿拉斯加半岛,美联邦迎来了它的第49个州,这标志着早就于1867年确定的观点发生了改变。
那时候,大多数美国人对与美国当时固有领地相距甚远、加拿大西部边境之外的那片150万平方公里的冰川和北极熊鲜有兴趣。
In thosesections of the state which lie above theArctic Circle, Alaska still is a landof icebergs and polarbears.Ice masseslie buried in the earth.From early May until early August,the midnight sunnever sets on this flat,treeless region,but the sun cannotmelt the icy soilmore than two-thirds of a meter down.现如今,阿拉斯加州位于北极圈之内的部分,依然是冰川和北极熊的领地。

2015年职称英语考试综合类阅读理解练习题On 8th November 1974 Lord Lucan, a British aristocrat(贵族), vanished. The day before, his children's nanny(保姆) had been brutally murdered and his wife had been attacked too. To this day the British public are still interested in the murder case because Lucan has never been found. Now, over 30 years later, the police have reopened the case, hoping that new DNA techniques will help solve this murder mystery.People suspected that "Lucky", as he was called by friends, wanted to kill his wife he no longer lived with. They say that Lucan entered his old house and in the dark, killed the nanny by mistake. His estranged(分居的) wife heard noises, came downstairs and was also attacked, but managed to escape. Seven months after the murder, a jury concluded that Lucan had killed the nanny.What happened next is unclear, but there are several theories which fall into one of three categories: he may have killed himself, he could have escaped or he might have been killed. It appears that the night after the murder, "Lucky" borrowed a car and drove it, Lucan's friend Aspinall said in an interview that he thought Lucan had committed suicide by sinking his boat in the English Channel.Another version of events says that "Lucky" left the blood-soaked car on the coast and took a ferry to France. He was met there by someone who drove him tosafety in another country. However, after a time, his rescuers became worried that they would become involved in the murder too and so Lucan was killed.A further fascinating theory was made in the book Dead Lucky by Duncan MacLaughlin, a former detective. He believes that Lucan travelled to Goa, India, where he assumed the identity of a Mr.Barry Haplin. Lucan then lived in Goa till his death in 1996. In the end the claim turned out to be a case of mistaken identity. The man who died in 1996 was really Haplin, an ex-school teacher. So what is the truth about "Lucky"? DNA testing has solved many murder cases, but who knows if it can close the book on this one.36.The British public are still interested in the murder case because .A. the murderer was an aristocrat.B. the murderer's DNA has been found.C. the murderer was a famous man.D. the murderer has not been caught37. It was suspected that Lucan killed the nanny because .A. she was cruel to his children.B. she attacked his wife.C. she stole his carD. she was mistaken for his wife38.Aspinall thought Lucan killed himself .A.by sinking his boatB.in a car accidentC.on the night 30 years after the murderD.by jumping into the English Channel39.According to the version in Paragraph 4,Lucan .A.had escaped but was killed later.B.was involved in a murder in FranceC.was caught in another country.D.met his partners on a ferry.45.The word “assumed”in the last paragraph means .A.disclosed.B.set up.C.took on.D.changed.参考答案:DDAAD更多职称英语考试免费资料请访问“新东方在线职称英语频道”。
学派网2015年职称英语课程(综合类)主讲人:王霞学派网2015年职称英语课程(综合类)第三十六篇Life as a Movie Extra(选自阅读理解)Life as a Movie Extra1. Ordinary people have always been attracted to the world of movies and movie stars. One way to get closer to this world is to become a movie extra. Although you have seen movie extras, you may not have paid attention to them. Extras are the people seated at tables in a restaurant while the two main actors are in conversation. They are the guests at the wedding of the main characters. They are the people crossing the street while “the bad guy" is being chased by the police. Extras don’t normally speak any lines, but they help make the scenes look real.2. Being a movie extra might seem like a lot of fun. You get to see what life is like behind the scenes. But don’t forget that being an extra is really a job, and it’s mostly about doing nothing. First-time extras are often shocked to learn how slow the process of movie making is. In a finished movie, the action may move quickly. But it can sometimes take a whole day to shoot a scene that appears for just a few minutes on the screen.Life as a Movie Extra3. The main requirement for being an extra is the ability to wait. You may report to work at 5 or 6 a. m.,and then you wait until the director is ready for your scene. This could take several hours. Then there may be technical problems, and you have to wait some more. After the director says “action” and you do the first “take”,you may have to do it again if he or she is not satisfied with the scene. In fact, you may have to do the same scene over and over again. You could be on the set for hours, sometimes waiting outdoors in very hot or cold weather. You may not be finished until 11p.m. or midnight. The pay isn’t good, either —often only a little bit above minimum wage. And you must pay the agent who gets you the job a commission of about 10 percent.Life as a Movie Extra4. So who would want to be a movie extra? In spite of the long hours and low pay, many people still apply for the job. Some people truly enjoy the work. They like being on a movie set, and they enjoy the companionship of their fellow extras. Most of them have flexible schedules, which allow them to be available. They may be students, waiters, homemakers, retired people, or unemployed actors. Some unemployed actors hope the work will help them get real acting jobs, but it doesn’t happen often. Most people in the movie industry make a sharp distinction between extras and actors, so extras are not usually considered for large parts.5. The next time you see a movie, don’t just watch the stars. Take a closer look at the people in the background, and ask yourself : Who are they? Why are they there? What else do they do in life? Maybe there is someone in the crowd who is just like you.词汇:movie extra群众演员action n.(导演指令) 开拍chase v.追捕commission n.佣金shoot vt.拍摄Life as a Movie Extra1. What is true about movie extras?2.

2015年职称英语综合A级原文出处(阅读理解) 两篇阅读理解改编自课本第十一篇Is There a Way to Keep the Britain's Economy Growing1.In today's knowledge economy, nations survive on the things they do best. Japanese design electronics while Germens export engineering techniques. The French serve the best food and Americans make computers.2.Britain specializes in the gift of talking. The nation doesn't manufacture much of anything. But it has lawyers, stylists and business consultants who earn their living from talk, talk and more talk. The World Foundation think tank1 says the UK's four iconic jobs today are not scientists, engineers, teachers and nurses. Instead, they're hairdressers, celebrities, management consultants and managers. But can all this talking keep the British economy going? The British government thinks it can.3.Although the country's trade deficit was more than £60 billion in 2006, UK's largest in the postwar period, officials say the country has nothing to worry about. In fact, Britain does have a world-class pharmaceutical industry, and it still makes a small sum from selling arms abroad. It also trades services — accountancy, insurance, banking and advertising. The government believes Britain is on the cutting edge2 of the knowledge economy. After all, the country of Shakespeareand Wordsworth has a literar y tradition of which to be proud. Rock “n” roll3 is an English language medium, and there are billions to be made by their cutting-edge bands. In other words, the creative economy has plenty of strength to carry the British economy.4.However, creative industries account for only about 4 percent of UK's exports of goods and services. The industries are finding it hard to make a profit, according to a report of the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts4. The report shows only 38 percent of British companies were engaged in "innovation activities", 3 percentage points below the EU average and well below Germany (61 percent) and Sweden (47 percent).5. In fact, it might be better to call Britain a "servant" economy — there are at least 4 million people "in service". The majority of the population are employed by the rich to cook, clean, and take care of their children. Many graduates are even doing menial jobs for which they do not need a degree. Most employment growth has been, and will continue to be, at the low-skill end of the service sector — in shops, bars, hotels, domestic service and in nursing and care homes.译文:是否有办法使英国经济继续保持增长现今的知识经济体系下,各国都发挥其特长以求生存。

阅读理解部分第三十四篇To Have and Have NotIt had been boring hanging about the hotel all afternoon. The road crew were playing a game with dollar notes. Folding them into small planes to see whose would fly the furthest. 1 Having nothing better to do,I joined in and won five,and then took the opportunity to escape with my profit. Despite the evil-looking clouds,I had to get out for a while.I headed for a shop on the other side of the street. Unlike the others,it didn't have a sign shouting its name and business,and instead of the usual impersonal modern lighting,there was an appealing glow inside. Strangely nothing was displayed in the window. Not put off by this,I went inside.It took my breath away. I didn't know where to look, where to start. On one wall there hung three hand-stitched American quilts that were in such wonderful condition they might have been newly-made. I came across tin toys and antique furniture, and on the wall in front of me, a 1957 Stratocaster guitar , also in excellent condition. A card pushed between the strings said $50. I ran my hand along a long shelf of records, reading their titles. And there was more. . .―Can I help you?‖ She startled me. I hadn't even seen the woman behind the counter come in. The way she looked at me, so directly and with such power. It was a look of such intensity that for a moment I felt as if I were wrapped in some kind of magnetic or electrical field. I found it hard to take and almost turned away. But though it was uncomfortable. I was fascinated by the experience of her looking straight into me, and by the feeling that I was neither a stranger, nor strange, to her.Besides amusement her expression showed sympathy. It was impossible to tell her age;she reminded me faintly of my grandmother because, although her eyes were friendly, I could see that she was not a woman to fall out with. I spoke at last. 'I was just looking really,' I said, though secretly wondering how much of the stuff I could cram into the bus.The woman turned away and went at once towards a back room, indicating that I should follow her. But it in no way lived up to the first room. The light made me feel peculiar, too. It came from an oil lamp that was hung from the centre of the ceiling and created huge shadows over everything. There were no rare electric guitars, no old necklaces, no hand-painted boxes with delicate flowers. It was also obvious that it must have taken years, decades, to collect so much rubbish, so many old documents arid papers.I noticed some old books, whose gold lettering had faded, making their titles impossible to read. 'They look interesting,' I said, with some hesitation. 'To be able to understand that kind of writing you must first have had a similar experience,' she said clearly. She noted the confused look on my face, but didn't add anything.She reached up for a small book which she handed to me. 'This is the best book I can give you at the moment,' she laughed. ―If you use it. ‖ I opened the book to find it fu ll. or rather empty, with blank white pages, but paid her the few dollars she asked for it, becoming embarrassed when I realised the notes were still folded into little paper planes. I put the book in my pocket, thanked her and left.词汇:impersonal 客观的;非个人的;没有人情味的;[语] 非人称的n. [语]非人称动词;不具人格的事物antique 古老的,年代久远的n. 古董,古玩startle 使吓一跳,使惊奇n. 惊愕,惊恐arid 干旱的,枯萎的。
