30、 There are 4 passages in this part. Each of the passages is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center. 30 Opinion polls are now beginn
31、ing to show an unwilling general agreement that, whoever is to blame and whatever happens from now on, high unemployment is probably here to stay. This means we shall have to find ways of sharing the available employment more widely. But we need to go further. We must ask some fundamental questions
32、about the future of work. Should we continue to treat employment as the norm? Should we not rather encourage many other ways for self-respecting people to work? Should we not create conditions in which many of us can work for ourselves, rather than for an employer? Should we not aim to revive the ho
33、usehold and the neighborhood, as well as the factory and the office, as centers of production and work? The industrial age has been the only period of human history in which most peoples work has taken the form of jobs. The industrial age may now be coming to an end, and some of the changes in work
34、patterns which it brought may have to be reversed. This seems a discouraging thought. But, in fact, it could offer the prospect of a better future for work. Universal employment, as its history shows, has not meant economic freedom. Employment became widespread when the enclosures (圈地运动 ) of the 17t
35、h and 18th centuries made many people dependent on paid work by depriving them of the use of the land, and thus of the means to provide a living for themselves. Then the factory system destroyed the cottage industries and removed work from peoples homes. Later, as transport improved, first by rail a
36、nd then by road, people traveled longer distances to their places employment until eventually, many peoples work lost all connection with their home lives and places in which they lived. Meanwhile, employment put women at a disadvantage. It became customary for the husband to go out to paid employme
37、nt, leaving the unpaid work of the home and family to his wife. All this may now have to change. The time has certainly come to switch some effort and resources away from the impractical goal of creating jobs for all, to the urgent practical task of helping many people to manage without full-time jo
38、bs. 31 What idea did the author derive from the recent opinion polls? （ A） Available employment should be restricted to a small percentage of the population. （ B） New jobs must be created in order to rectify high unemployment figures. （ C） Jobs available must be distributed among more people. （ D） T
39、he present high unemployment figures are a fact of life. 32 The passage suggests that we should now re-examine our thinking about work and_. （ A） be prepared to admit that being employed is not the only kind of work （ B） create more factories in order to increase our productivity （ C） set up smaller
40、 private enterprises so that we in turn can employ others （ D） be prepared to fill in time by taking up housework 33 The passage tells us that the arrival of the industrial age meant that_. （ A） universal employment guaranteed prosperity （ B） economic freedom came within everyones reach （ C） pattern
41、s of work were fundamentally changed （ D） to survive, everyone had to find a job 34 As a result of the enclosures of the 17th and 18th centuries, _. （ A） people were no longer legally entitled to own land （ B） people were forced to look elsewhere for means of supporting themselves （ C） people were n
42、ot adequately compensated for the loss of their land （ D） people were badly paid for the work they managed to find 35 It can be inferred from the passage that_. （ A） the creation of jobs for all is an impossibility （ B） we must make every effort to solve the problem of unemployment （ C） people shoul

Many people are still f
44、ascinated by the frontier because it has been particularly important in shaping American values. For many years, the frontier experience was romanticized in popular movies and television shows that featured cowboy heroes fighting Indian villains. Little attention was given to the tragic story of wha
45、t really happened to Native Americans. Today, most Americans are more aware of the darker side of the settling of the continent, when thousands of Native American Indians were killed, their lands were taken, and much of their culture was destroyed. The American frontier consists of the relatively un
46、settled regions of the United States, usually found in the western part of the country. Here, both land and life were more rugged and primitive than in the more settled eastern part. As one frontier area was settled, people began moving farther west into the next unsettled area, sweeping aside the N
47、ative Americans as they went. By settling one frontier area after another, Americans moved across an entire continent, 2 700 miles wide. They came to believe that it was their destiny to control all the land, and eventually they did. The Native Americans were given small portions of land called rese
48、rvations to control, but the United States government broke many promises and created much misery for the Indian nations. Recently, Americans have come to a more balanced view of the settling of the West. However, many Americans still see many aspects of the frontier, its people and their beliefs, a
49、s good, inspiring examples of traditional American values in their original and purest form. How did the frontier movement, which lasted more than two centuries, help to shape these basic American values? To be sure, the frontier provided many inspiring examples of hard work as forests were turned into towns, and towns into large cities. The competitive race for success was rarely more colorful or adventurous t
