41、seful education for boysBThe importance of houseworkCBoys should be involved in houseworkD. Cooking and sewing make boys masculine B Across the rich world, well-educated people increasingly work longer than the less-skilled. Some 65% of American men aged 62-74 with a professional degree are in the w
42、orkforce, compared with 32% of men with only a high-school certificate. This gap is part of a deepening divide between the well-education well off and the unskilled poor. Rapid technological advance has raised the incomes of the highly skilled while squeezing those of the unskilled. The consequences
43、, for individual and society, are profound. The world is facing as astonishing rise in the number of old people, and they will live longer than ever before. Over the next 20 years the global population of those aged 65 or more will almost double, from 600 million to 1.1 billion. The experience of th
44、e 20th century, when greater longevity translated into more years in retirement rather than more years at work, has persuaded many observers that this shift will lead to slower economic growth, while the swelling ranks of pensioners will create government budget problems. But the notion of a sharp d
45、ivision between the working young and the idle old misses a new trend, the growing gap between the skilled and the unskilled. Employment rates are falling among younger unskilled people, whereas older skilled folk are working longer. The divide is most extreme in America, where well-educated baby-bo
46、omers (二战后生育高峰期出生的美国人) are putting off retirement while many less-skilled younger people have dropped out of the workforce. That even the better-off must work longer to have a comfortable retirement. But the changing nature of work also plays a big role. Pay has risen sharply for the highly educated
47、, and those people continue to reap rich rewards into old age because these days the educated elderly are more productive than the preceding generation. Technological change may well reinforce that shift: the skills that complement computers, from management knowhow to creativity. Do not necessarily
48、 decline with age.试题分析:在发达国家,受过良好教育的人工作更长久,高速的科技发展深化了贫富差距。伴随着老龄化社会,技术和非技术人群之间的差距越来明显,非技术人员的就业率正在下降。说明技能是非常宝贵的,不论年龄。46what is happening in the workforce in rich countries?A. younger people are replacing the elderlyB. well-educated people tend to work longerC. unemployment rates are rising year after

Profound changes in the workforceC. rapid technological advance.D. A growing number of well-graduated.47C 细节理解题。由第一段Rapid technological advance
50、has raised the incomes of the highly skilled while squeezing those of the unskilled. The consequences, for individual and society, are profound.可知,高速的科技发展深化了贫富差距。48what do many observers predict in view of the experience of the 20th century?A. Economic growth will slow down.B. Government budgets wil
51、l increase.C. More people will try to pursue higher educationD. There will be more competition in the job market.48A 细节理解题。由第二段The experience of the 20th century, when greater longevity translated into more years in retirement rather than more years at work, has persuaded many observers that this sh

53、etirement.D. People may be able to enjoy generous defined-benefits from pension plans. C Are you a compulsive (强迫性的) spender, or do you hold on to your money as long as possible? Are you a bargain hunter? Would you rather use charge accounts than pay cash? Your answers to these questions will reflec
54、t your personality. According to psychologists, our individual money habits not only show our beliefs and values, but can also stem from past problems. Experts in psychology believe that for many people, money is an important symbol of strength and influence. Husbands who complain about their wives
55、spending habits may be afraid that they are losing power in their marriage. Wives, on the other hand, may waste huge amounts of money because they are angry at their husbands. In addition, many people consider money a symbol of love. They spend it on their family and friends to express love, or they
56、 buy themselves expensive presents because they need love. People can be addicted to different things for example, alcohol, drugs, certain foods, or even television. They are compulsive in their addictions, i.e. they must satisfy these needs to feel comfortable. In the same way, according to psychol
57、ogists, compulsive spenders must spend money. For people who buy on credit, furthermore, charge accounts are even more exciting than money: in other words, they feel that with credit, they can do anything. Their pleasures in spending enormous amounts are actually greater than those they get from the
58、 things they buy. There is even a special psychology of bargain hunting. To save money, of course, most people look for sales, low prices, and discounts. Compulsive bargain hunters, however, often buy things that they dont need just because they are cheap. They want to believe that they are helping
59、their budgets, but they are really playing an exciting game: when they can buy something for less than other people, they feel that they are winning. Most people, experts claim, have two reasons for their behavior: a good reason for the things that they do and the real reason. It is not only scienti
60、sts, of course, who understand the psychology of spending habits, but also business people. Stores, companies, and advertisers use psychology to increase business: they consider peoples needs for love, power, or influence, their basic values, their beliefs and opinions, etc. in their advertising and
61、 sales methods. Psychologists often use a method called “behavior therapy(疗法)” to help individuals solve their personality problems. In the same way, they can help people who feel that they have problems with money: they give them “assignments”. If a person buys something in every store that he ente
62、rs, for instance, a therapist might teach him self-discipline in this way: on the first day of his therapy, he must go into a store, stay five minutes, and then leave. On the second day, he should stay for ten minutes and try something on. On the third day, he stays for fifteen minutes, asks the sal

66、how people will react if they are allowed to buyD. finding out what people will do in front of a bargain52B推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句Soon he will learn that nothing bad will happen to him if he doesn t buy anything, and he can solve the problem of his compulsive buying. 可知这个疗法治为了帮助人们解决强迫性购物,即帮助他们买的更少,故选B。53Th

69、penders must spend money. 可知这种强迫性购物是一种入迷,是精神层面上的缺陷。B项文中没有讲到,C项错在taking some medicine ,D项错在all businessmen,故选A。 DDear Guys, Id like to talk to you about the shame you subjected me to last night. Let me first refresh your memory: You, a group of fit, young men, were playing soccer on the field across
70、from my apartment building. I, a better-than-average looking young woman, was walking along the sidewalk with my groceries. Thats when your ball came flying over the fence and landed in front of me. One of you approached and asked politely if I would throw the ball back to you. Fighting the urge to
71、drop my bags and run screaming down the street, I reluctantly (勉强地) agreed. Before I continue, let me explain something that I didnt have a chance to mention last night: I hate sports. More specifically, I hate sports involving balls. This results from my lack of natural ability when it comes to thr
72、owing, catching and hitting. Im bad at aiming too. So you can understand why Id be nervous at what Im sure seemed to you like a laughably simple request. However, wanting to appear agreeable, I put my bags down, picked up the ball and, eyes half-shut, and threw it as hard as I could. It hit the midd
73、le of the fence and bounced back to me. Trying to act casually, I said something about being out of practice, and then picked up the ball again. If youll remember, at your command, I agreed to try throwing underhand. While outwardly I was smiling, in my head, I was praying, oh God, oh please oh plea
74、se oh please. I threw the ball upward with all my strength, terrified by what happened next. The ball hit slightly higher up on the fence and bounced back to me. This is the point where I start to take issue with you. Wouldnt it have been a better use of your time, and mine, if you had just walked a
75、round the fence and took the ball then? I was clearly struggling; my smiles were more and more forced. And yet, you all just stood there, motionless. Seeing that you werent going to let me out of the trouble, I became desperate. Memories of middle school softball came flooding back. I tried hard to
76、throw the ball but it only went about eight feet, then I decided to pick it up and dash with ball in hand towards the baseline, while annoyed thirteen-year-old boys screamed at me that I was ruining their lives. Children are cruel. Being a big girl now, I pushed those memories aside and picked up th
77、e soccer ball for the third time. I forced a good-natured laugh while crying inside as you patiently shouted words of support over the fence at me. “Throw it granny-style!” one of you said. “Just back up a little and give it all youve got!” another offered. And, most embarrassing of all, “You can do
78、 it!” I know you thought you were being encouraging, but it only served to deepen the shame. Anyway, I accepted your ball-throwing advice, backed up, rocked back and forth a little, took a deep breath and let it fly. It hit the edge of the fence and bounced back to me. I surprised myselfand Im sure
79、you as wellby letting out a cry, “DAMN IT!” I then willed myself to have a heart attack and pass out in front of you just so Id be put out of my misery. Alas, the heart attack didnt happen, and you continued to look at me expectantly, like you were content to do this all night. I had become a sort o
80、f exhibition for you. I could feel your collective thoughts drifting through the chain-link: “Can she really not do it? But I mean, really?” Unfortunately for you, I wasnt really game to continue your experiment. Three failed attempts at a simple task in front of a group of people in a two-minute pe
81、riod were just enough blows for me for one night. I picked up the ball one last time, approached the fence and grumbled, “Please just come get the damn ball.” And you did. And thanks to you, I decided at that very moment to never throw anything ever again, except disrespectful glances at people who
82、play sports. Sincerely, Jen Cordery试题分析:这是一个女士写给一些男孩的信,因为男孩不小心把球打到女士的家,女士答应把球扔回来给男孩,但是因为这个女士一直不擅长运动,所以扔了几次都没有扔回来,这使她很尴尬,最后还是男孩自己把球取回的。55The writer agreed to throw the ball because _.Ashe needed to have a relax carrying the heavy groceriesBshe wanted to refresh her childhood memoriesCshe could not re
