14、 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 center. 15 A lawyer friend of mine has devoted herself to t
15、he service of humanity. Her special area is called, public interest law“. Many other lawyers represent only clients who can pay high fees. All lawyers have had expensive and highly specialized training , and they work long, difficult hours for the money they earn. But what happens to people who need
16、 legal help and cannot afford to pay these lawyers fees? Public interest lawyers fill this need. Lisa, like other public interest lawyers, earns a salary much below what some lawyers can earn. Because she is willing to take less money, her clients need the help, even if they can pay nothing at all.
17、Some clients need legal help because stores have cheated them with faulty merchandise. Others are in unsafe apartments, or are threatened with eviction (驱逐 ,赶出 ) and have no place to go to.

Perhaps he grunted like a pig when he lifted something heavy. Perhaps he made sounds like those he heard all round him-w
22、ater splashing, bees humming, a stone falling to the ground. Somehow he learned to make words. As the centuries went by, he made more and more new words. This is what we mean by language. People living in different countries made different kinds of words. Today there are about fifteen hundred differ
23、ent languages in the world. Each contains many thousands of words. A very large English dictionary, for example, contains four or five hundred thousand words. But we do not need all these. Only a few thousand words are used in everyday life. The words you know are called your vocabulary. You should
24、try to make your vocabulary bigger. Read as many books as you can. There are plenty of books written in easy English for you to read. You will enjoy them.

High tech is just a shorter way of saying high technology. And high technology describes any invention, system of device that uses the newest ideas or
28、discoveries of science and engineering. What is high tech? A computer is high tech. So is a communications satellite. A modern manufacturing (生产 ) system is surely high tech. High tech became a popular expression in the united States during the early 1980s. Because of improvements in technology, peo
29、ple could buy many new kinds of products in American stores, such as home computers, microwave ovens, etc. “State of the art“ is something that is as modern as possible. It is a product that is based on the very latest methods and technology. Something that is “state of the art“ is the newest possib
30、le design or product of a business or industry. A state of the art television set, for example, uses the modernest electronic design and parts. It is the best that one can buy. “State of the art“ is not a new expression. Engineers have used it for years, to describe the best and most modern way of d
31、oing something. Millions of Americans began to use the expression in the late 1970s. The reason was the computer revolution. Every computer company claimed that its computers were “state of the art“. Computer technology changed so fast that a state of the art computer today might be old tomorrow. Th
32、e expression “state of the art“ became as common and popular as computers themselves. Now all kinds of products are said to be “state of the art“. 26 What is the purpose of the passage? （ A） To tell how “high tech“ and “state of the art“ have developed. （ B） To give examples of “high tech“. （ C） To
33、tell what “high tech“ and “state of the art“ are. （ D） To describe very modern technology. 27 What can we infer from the passage? （ A） American stores could provide new kinds of products to people. （ B） High tech describes a technology that is not traditional. （ C） State of the art is not as popular

35、ression “state of the an“ has become popular. （ B） State of the art means something that is the best one can buy. （ C） With the rapid development of computer, “state of the an“ computer may easily become out of date. （ D） All kinds of products are “state of the art“ nowadays. 30 The best title for t
36、he passage is _. （ A） Computer Technology （ B） High Tech and State of the Art （ C） Most Advanced Technology （ D） Two New Expressions 30 As any middle-class parent knows, unpaid work experience can give youngsters a valuable introduction to a secure job. The government has recognized it too, abandoni
37、ng rules in 2011 that had formerly stopped 16 to 24-year-olds from doing unpaid work while claiming unemployment benefit. But moving from that to forcing them to work without pay in order to collect these benefits has proved a big step. More than one million young people in Britain are unemployed, t
38、he highest number since the mid-1980s. Keen both to cut the welfare bill and to avoid the depressed future wages that may result from early unemployment, the government has introduced an ambitious program of reform to get youngsters off welfare and into work. A key part of it is ensuring that no one
39、 gets benefit from the government for long; ministers are keen to avoid what happened after the early-1980s recession (衰退 ), when unemployment continued in some parts of the country for a long time after the economy began to improve. To help young people into work, ministers had persuaded lots of em
40、ployers, including bakery chains, bookshops and supermarkets, to take on unemployed youths, who receive work experience but no pay, with the prospect of a proper job for those who shine. Some 35,000 youngsters participated last year; half found paid work soon after finishing the scheme. The idea of
41、getting young adults used to showing up for work is popular with voters: according to a survey published in February, about 60% of people support the program. Equally attractive was the option of compelling them to work: Under the existing arrangements youngsters could choose whether or not to accep
42、t a place, but if they dropped out after the end of the first week, they stood to lose up to two weeks benefits. Yet the scheme has also polarized(两极分化的 ) opinion; a third of people are consistently opposed. Following a noisy “ Right to Work“ campaign that accused employers of co-operating secretly
43、with the government in “ forced labor“, several firms dropped out of the program. To prevent this from getting worse, Chris Grayling, an employment minister, admitted that young people could leave their work experience at any time without being punished for doing so. This not only halted the flight
44、of employers (for now, at least) but also enabled him to announce that new firms have agreed to take part in the program. 31 According to the passage, young people in Britain_. （ A） are used to showing up for work （ B） value unpaid work very much （ C） are always opposed to unpaid work （ D） could lea
45、rn something about job security through unpaid work 32 According to the passage, which of the following is NOT TRUE? （ A） Most voters support the government s effort to help young people to work. （ B） Some people protest against the governments attempt to force young people to work. （ C） There are m
46、ore than one million young people who took part in the program. （ D） There are more than one million young people who are jobless. 33 According to the author, the British government is trying to_. （ A） punish young people if they are not cooperating with it （ B） reform the unemployed youngsters （ C）
47、 avoid the economic slowdown （ D） reduce welfare spending 34 The word “shine“ in Paragraph 3 means “_“. （ A） do well （ B） reflect light （ C） look happy （ D） produce light 35 Which of the following is an appropriate tide for this passage? （ A） Enjoy Work Without Pay （ B） Can Work, Won t Work （ C） Sho
48、uld Work, Shouldn t Play （ D） Hate Work or Love Work 三、 Part II Vocabulary and Structure (30%) Directions: In this part, there are 30 incomplete sentences.
