15、ning. Ideally, therefore, the choice of a(n)【C1】_should be made even before the choice of a curriculum in high school. Actually, 【C2】_, most persons make several job choices during their working live, partly 【C3】_economic and industrial changes and partly to improve their positions. The “ one perfec

16、t job“ does not exist. Young people should therefore【C4】_into a broad flexible training program that will fit them for a field of【C5】_rather than for a single job. Unfortunately many young people, knowing little about the occupational world or themselves for that matter, choose their lifework【C6】_a

17、hit-or-miss basis. Some【C7 】_from job to job. Others【C8】_to work in which they are unhappy and for which they are not fitted. One common mistake is choosing an occupation for【C9】_real or imagined prestige. Too many high-school studentsor their parentschoose the professional field, 【 C10】_both the re

18、latively small proportion of work vacancies in the professions and the extremely high educational and personal【C11】_. The imagined or real prestige of a profession or a “white-collar“ job is 【C12】_good reason for choosing it as a lifes wore. 【C13】_, these occupations are not always well paid. Since

19、a large proportion of jobs are in mechanical and manual work, the majority of young people should give serious consideration to these fields. Before making an “occupational choice“ , a person should have a general idea of what he wants 【C14】_life and how hard he is willing to work to get it. Some pe

20、ople desire social prestige, others intellectual satisfaction. Some want security; others are willing to take 【C15】_for financial gain. Each occupational choice has its demands as well as its rewards.31 【C1 】（A）academy（B） occupation（C） guidance（D）identification32 【C2 】（A）therefore（B） so（C） though（D）

21、however33 【C3 】（A）in case of（B） for（C） because of（D）to34 【C4 】（A）enter（B） participate（C） involve（D）join35 【C5 】（A）careers（B） professions（C） prospects（D）work36 【C6 】（A）with（B） by（C） on（D）at37 【C7 】（A）flow（B） wander（C） jump（D）drift38 【C8 】（A）stick（B） turn（C） adhere（D）subscribe39 【C9 】（A）its（B） their（C

23、（A）advantage（B） patience（C） turns（D）risks45 The “standard of living“ of any country means the average persons share of the goods and services the country produces. A countrys standard of living, 【C1】_, depends first and 【C2 】_on its capacity to produce wealth. “Wealth“ in this sense is not money, fo

24、r we do not live on money【C3】_on things that money can buy: “goods“ such as food and clothing, and “services“ such as transport and “【 C4】_“. A countrys capacity to produce wealth depends upon many factors, most of【C5】_have an effect on one another. Wealth depends 【C6】_a great extent upon a countrys

25、 natural resources. Some regions of the world are well supplied with coal and minerals, and have a fertile soil and a【C7】_climate; other regions possess none of them. Next to natural resources【C8】_the ability to turn them to use. 【C9】 _and stable political conditions, and【C10】_from foreign invasion,

26、 enable a country to develop its natural resources peacefully and steadily, and to produce more wealth than another country equally well 【C11】_by nature but less well ordered. A countrys standard of living does not only depend upon the wealth that is produced and consumed 【C12】_it own borders, but a

27、lso upon what is indirecdy produced through international trade. For example, Britains wealth in foodstuffs and other agricultural products would be much less if she had to depend only on【C13 】_grown at home. Trade makes it possible for her surplus manufactured goods to be traded abroad for the agri

28、cultural products that would【C14】_be lacking. A countrys wealth is, therefore, much influenced by its manufacturing capacity, 【C15 】_that other countries can be found ready to accept its manufactures.46 【C1 】（A）however（B） therefore（C） nevertheless（D）furthermore47 【C2 】（A）primary（B） principal（C） fore

29、most（D）uniquely48 【C3 】（A）or（B） nor（C） but（D）except49 【C4 】（A）entertainment（B） enlightenment（C） recreation（D）refreshment50 【C5 】（A）if（B） them（C） which（D）that51 【C6 】（A）with（B） for（C） on（D）to52 【C7 】（A）neutral（B） favorable（C） virtuous（D）marine53 【C8 】（A）comes（B） come（C） gets（D）get54 【C9 】（A）Strong（B）

31、ed（C） given（D）supposed三、阅读理解60 New parents are annoying. They think you want to hear about every gurgle and baby-step. But it could be worse. When your boss has a sprog, watch your wallet.A study to be published next month in Administrative Science Quarterly looks at what happens to workers pay when

32、 a male boss has a child. Researchers tracked salaries at every firm in Denmark with more than ten employees between 1996 and 2006.(They confined themselves to male bosses partly because the sample of female bosses was too small.)Male bosses, it turns out, pay themselves significantly more once they

33、 become fathers. Even after controlling for factors such as age, length of tenure and the performance of the firm, the study found that bosses with daughters pay themselves 3.5% more than childless ones. If they have a son, that increases to a hefty 6.4% . David Ross of Columbia Business School, one

34、 of the authors, says all fathers feel a duty to support their families. For grunts this means working harder. Bosses have the more agreeable option of raising their own wages.This is bad news for underlings. That extra money comes out of workers pockets, the study finds. Staff employed by a father

35、is typically paid less. The amount depends on such things as the sex of the baby and whether it is his first child. Male employees bear the brunt: if the bosss child is a son, for example, they can expect 0. 5% less salary than if he hadnt reproduced.Female staff fare better. After their bosss first

36、 child, they can expect to be paid a little more. Mr Ross speculates that this might be because, having seen their wives go through childbirth, they start to respect women more. Alas, such goodwill doesnt last. Once the boss has a second child, female workers wages are likely to fall, just like mens

37、.61 According to the passage, which of the following describes the study correctly?（A）It was conducted by a Denmark firm.（B） It was a large-scale and longitudinal study.（C） It was a systematic and time consuming study.（D）It tracked the salaries of ten employees from every firm.62 According to the pa

38、ssage, once they become fathers, male bosses tend to（A）pay more to those with sons.（B） make the firm earn more money.（C） differ due to factors such as age etc.（D）take more money from their underlings.63 The study reveals that upon stepping into fatherhood,（A）both bosses and employees need to earn mo

39、re money.（B） bosses and employees differ in their options of duty.（C） employees need to work harder than bosses.（D）bosses are more agreeable than employees.64 What does the sentence “Male employees bear the brunt“ in paragraph 4 mean?（A）Male employees are angry.（B） Male employees suffer most.（C） Mal

40、e employees differ from others.（D）Male employees complain about the situation.65 After the bosss first child, compared with males, female workers are（A）in a different situation.（B） paid a little bit more.（C） more respected.（D）just like men.65 On July 15th, a chilly evening in Berlin, around 3, 000 p

41、eople flocked to the Brandenburg Gate to watch a free open-air screening of Charlie Chaplins 1940 film “The Great Dictator“. It was the first night of “Chaplin Complete“ , a festival run by the citys Babylon cinema, which is showing all 80 Chaplin films in 24 days. But the crowds also came to see Ge

42、raldine Chaplin, Charlies eldest daughter, who opened proceedings.“This is an historic moment, “ she said to me at the Adlon hotel, a short walk from the Brandenburg Gate, the day before the opening. “ My father walked through history and he became history and now his film is shown here. “Her father

43、 also stayed at the Adlon on a visit to Berlin in 1931, on a promotional trip for his last and most successful silent film, “City Lights“. Although he missed the premierea pro-Nazi media campaign defaming Chaplin as an “anti-German warmonger“ and an “American film-Jew“ forced him to abscond to Vienn

44、a ahead of timeGeraldine is convinced the visit left a mark on her father. The Nazis didnt come to power until 1933, but she says that Chaplins visit “was the moment he started to be fascinated with Hitler“.Geraldine recounts an interview Chaplin gave to Life magazine in the 1970s, when he was asked

45、 what he thought of Hitlers acting style. “ Well, it was very oratory, “ he said, “ and a little bit over the top. The gestures were maybe just a little bit too big, which made me think, This man does not have much confidence in himself. He must have had someone back there behind the scenes saying t

46、o him, You are doing good. You are doing great, guy. “ Geraldine suggests that these views of Hitler informed her fathers performance in “The Great Dictator“ , his first talking picture and one of his most successful.The only time Geraldine heard her father speak about Berlin was through a closed do

47、or. “ I did a lot of eavesdropping, “ she says. She remembers hearing Chaplin telling a German friend, “In Berlin I fell in love“ , and then she “heard this name which wasnt my mothers. “ Shocked, she ran to the kitchen, where her mother was cooking, but she didnt dare tell her what she had heard. S

48、he then chuckles, adding: “ Of course, it was Nefertiti that hed fallen in love with. “ He was talking about the famous bust of the wife of the Egyptian Pharaoh Akhenaten, which sits in Berlins Neues Museum.“Chaplin Complete“ is the second silent film season organised by the Babylon. Ten of the screenings will be accompanied by the Chamber Orchestra Potsdam. Timothy Brock, who is conducting the performances, has been working since 2000 to restore all the original scores from Chaplins silent films. Geraldine is certain her father would
