1.Every year, about 11 million people enter the()market in our country.A、workB、job

2.资料： The poverty line is the minimum income that people need for an acceptable standard of living. People with incomes below the poverty line are considered poor. Economists study the causes of poverty in order to find solutions to the problem. As the general standard of living in the country rises, the poverty line does, too. Therefore, even with today’s relatively high standard of living, about 10 percent of the people in the United States are below the poverty line. However, if these people had stable jobs, they could have an acceptable standard of living. Economists suggest several reasons why poor people do not have jobs. For one thing, more than half of the poor people in the United States are not qualified to work. Over 40 percent of the poor. People are children. By law, children less than 16 years old cannot work in many industries. A large number of poor people are Old. Many companies do not hire people over 65 years old, the normal retirement age. Some poor adults do not look for jobs for a variety of personal reasons: they are sick, they do not have any motivation, they have family problems, or they do not believe that they can find a job.Other poor people look for a job but cannot find one. Many poor adults never went to high school. Therefore, when they look for jobs, they have few skills that they can offer.At the present time, the government thinks it can reduce poverty in the country in the following ways. First, if the national economy grows, businesses and industries hire more workers. Some of the poor who are qualified to look for jobs may find employment. Then they will no longer be below the poverty line. Second, if society invests in the poor, the poor will become more productive. If the government spends money on social programs, education, and training for poor people, the poor will have the skills to offer. Then it is more likely that they can find jobs.Finally, if the government distributes society's income differently, it raises some poor people above the poverty line. The government collects taxes from the non－poor and gives money to the poor. These payments to the poor are called welfare. In 1975 over 18 million people in the United States received welfare. Some economists are looking for better solutions to the poverty problem. However, at the present time, many people depend on welfare for a minimally acceptable standard of living.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the reason of unemployment?A.some people are too young to work in many industries B.some people are satisfied with the government welfare C.some people don’t have motion to work D.some people are not qualified to work

    Living Alone Is Joyful

    More and more Americans are living alone.Some live alone because of divorce or the death of a part-
    ner._______ (46) According to a recent U. S. census（人口普查）,25 percent of all households in the
    U.S.are made up of just one person.This is a dramatic change from the extended families of just a couple
    of generations ago.
    The typical person living alone is neither old nor lonely._______(47) The majority of these people
    have chosen to live alone. They are responding to decreasing social pressure to get married and have a family.
    It's now socially acceptable, even fashionable, to live alone.
    As people get better jobs and become fi-
    nancially independent, it becomes possible for them to maintain a one-person household._______(48)
    However, people who do get married are marrying at a later age and divorcing more often.
    The number one reason given by most people for living alone is that they simply enjoy doing what they
    want when they want to do it.
    "Living alone is a luxury,"says Nina Hagiwara, 33.
    "Once you do it, you
    can't ever go back to living with others. " David C' Debaca, 46, agrees._______(49)
    Children think that heing grown up means being able to do exactly as they please._______(50)
    The chance to discover whether that freedom is as wonderful as it sounds is a chance more and more Ameri-
    cans are taking.

    _________(49)
    A: There's more pressurP. to geL married nowadays.
    B: The growing number of women with good jobs has done much to increase the number of people living alone.
    C: However, even ruore people are living alone because they have chosen to.
    D: It seems that many growii-ups today are realizing that childhood dream.
    E: In fact, a quarter of the 23 million single people in the U. S.are under the age of 35.
    F: He says, "I like being by myself. "

    答案：F
    解析：
    在第一段开始，作者就提到“越来越多的美国人过着单身生活”，紧接着讲述了“一些人 过着单身生活的原因是离婚或者配偶的去世”在几个选项中，只有C选项与前文相照应，因为 C选项提到了美国人过单身生活的其他原因二故选C。
    从第二段的第一句话，我们很容易看出本段叙述单身生活的人群。第一句话指出“典 型的单身者既不是老年人也不是离异者”，那么在其后面肯定是说明这些典型的．单身者到底是 什么人。在几个选项里面，只有E提到了人群，即“事实上，在美国，2300万单身者中，有四分 之一的人处于35岁以下”：故选E。
    本题可以用排除法解决。首先本段主要叙述单身生活被社会所接受以及各种成因，主 要是因为人们得到了更好的工作，经济上更加独立等。但该段没有提及pressure（压力）,child- hood dream（儿时梦想），故排除A和D；在F中的He没有前后呼应的主语，故将其排除。只有 B选项与本段内容相符。
    第四段的倒数第二句话提到了一个人物David C' Debaca，所以能与人物相对应的只有 F选项中的He。
    最后一段的第一句话说：儿童认为，长大意味着想十什么就于什么。选项D的意思是： 似平今天许多大人正在实现那种儿时梦想。第6部分：完形填空

    由文章第一段第三句话“Others are looking for culture , or simply want to have their pictures taken in front of famous places.”可知，一些旅游者是为了追寻文化之源，或仅仅是想在名胜之地请人给他们拍几张照。而该题句意是，人们旅行时，喜欢在名胜之地自己给自己拍照。因此该叙述是错误的。故选B。

    Tourism

    People travel for a lot of reason.Some tourists go to see battlefields or religious shrines.Others are looking for culture,or simply want to have their picture taken in front of famous places.But most European tourists are looking for a sunny beach to lie on.
    Northern European are willing to pay a lot of money and put up with a lot of inconveniences for the sun because they have so little of it. Residents of cities like London,Copenhagen,and Amsterdam spend a lot of their winter in the dark because the days are so short,and much of the rest the year in the rain.This is the reason the Mediterranean has always attracted them.Every summer, more than 25 million people travel to Mediterranean resort and beaches for their vacation.They all come for the same reason:sun!
    The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economies of Mediterranean countries.Italy's
    30,000 hotels are booked solid every summer.And 13 million people camp out on French beaches, parks and roadsides.Spain's long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhere else.37 million tourists visit yearly,or one tourist for every person living in Spain.
    But there are signs that the area is getting more tourism than it can hand1e; The Mediterranean is already one the most polluted seas on earth.And with increased tourism,it's getting worse.The French can't figure out what to do with all the garbage left by campers around St. Tropez.And in many places,swimming is dangerous because of pollution.
    None of this,however,is spoiling anyone's fun.The Mediterranean gets more popular every year with tourists.Obviously,they don't go there for clean water and solitude.They tolerate traffic jams and seem to like crowded beaches.They don't even mind the pollution.No matter how dirty the water is,the coastline still looks beautiful.And as long as the sun shines,it's still better than sitting in the cold rain in Berlin,London,or Oslo.

    According to the passage,which of the following factors might spoil the tourists' fun at Mediterranean resorts and beaches?
    A:Polluted water.
    B:Crowded buses.
    C:Traffic jams.
    D:Rainy weather.

    答案：D
    解析：
    第二段提到北欧游客为了享受阳光而到地中海度假，因为北欧日照短而且阴雨天多。所以选择D。
    第二段中提到伦敦、哥本哈根和阿姆斯特丹的地理位置：地处北欧；气候：冬季日照时间短，长期的阴雨天气。与阳光充足的地中海相比，这三个城市不适合度假，因此选A。
    第三段介绍“西班牙长长的海岸线较之其他旅游胜地吸引了更多的游客”。因此选择B。
    本句介绍西班牙的游客数量，意思是“西班牙有多少居民，就有多少游客”，即西班牙游客的数量与居民的数量一样多。所以应选B。
    最后一段介绍虽然地中海存在污染、交通堵塞，但游客兴致不减，他们去地中海是为了享受阳光。因此阴雨的天气会败坏他们的游兴。

    答案：A
    解析：
    由文章第一段第三句话“Others are looking for culture , or simply want to have their pictures taken in front of famous places.”可知，一些旅游者是为了追寻文化之源，或仅仅是想在名胜之地请人给他们拍几张照。而该题句意是，人们旅行时，喜欢在名胜之地自己给自己拍照。因此该叙述是错误的。故选B。
    由文章第一段最后一句话“But most European tourists are looking for a sunny beach to lie on."可知，大多数欧洲游客是为了寻找阳光充足的海滩晒日光浴。而该题句意是，作者似乎暗示欧洲人去旅游是因为他们想参观一些历史遗迹或宗教景区。因此该叙述是错误的。故选B。
    由文章第二段第二句话“Residents of cities like London , Copenhagen , and Amsterdam spend a lot of their winter in the dark because the days are so short,and much of the rest of the year in the rain.”可知，由于冬季白天很短，伦敦、哥本哈根和阿姆斯特丹的居民在冬季的大部分时间里都是在昏暗中度过的，而其余的季节又都是阴雨连绵的。文中并没有提到伦敦、哥本哈根和阿姆斯特丹因为没有好的名胜古迹和风景区而不适合人们居住。故选C。
    由文章第三段第四句话“Spain 's long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhereelse.”可知，西班牙那漫长的海岸线更成了众多游客慕名前往的地方。因此西班牙比其他国家更加吸引游客，而不是法国。故选B。
    由文章第三段第二句话“Italy 's 30 , 000 hotels are booked solid every summer.”可知，每年夏季，意大利的3万家旅馆全部客满。故选A。
    由文章第三段最后一句话“37 million tourists visit yearly , or one tourist for every personliving in Spain.”可知，每年有3700万游客去西班牙旅游，换句话说，旅游者与西班牙居民的人数相当。故选A。
    由文章最后一段最后三句话可知，被污染的水并不能影响游客们的兴致，只要阳光普照，地中海地区就比阴冷多雨的北欧好得多。故选B。

    Practice 9　　Youth unemployment across the world has climbed to a new high and is likely to climb further this year, a United Nations agency said Thursday, while warning of a “lost generation” as more young people give up the search for work.　　The agency, the International Labor Organization, said in a report that of some 620 million young people ages 15 to 24 in the work force, about 81 million were unemployed at the end of 2009—the highest level in two decades of record-keeping by the organization, which is based in Geneva.　　“There’s never been an increase of this magnitude — both in terms of the rate and the level — since we’ve been tracking the data,” said Steven Kapsos, an economist with the organization. The agency forecast that the global youth unemployment rate would continue to increase through 2010, to 13.1 percent, as the effects of the economic downturn continue. It should then decline to 12.7 percent in 2011.　　In some especially strained European countries, including Spain and Britain, many young people have become discouraged and given up the job hunt, it said. The trend will have “significant consequences for young people,” as more and more join the ranks of the already unemployed, it said. That has the potential to create a “‘lost generation’ comprised of young people who have dropped out of the labor market, having lost all hope of being able to work for a decent living.”　　The report studied the German, British, Spanish and Estonian labor markets and found that Germany had been most successful in bringing down long-term youth unemployment. In Spain and Britain, increases in unemployment were particularly pronounced for those with lower education levels.　　Data from Eurostat, the European Union’s statistical agency, show Spain had a jobless rate of 40.5 percent in May for people under 25. That was the highest level among the 27 members of the European Union, far greater than the 9.4 percent in Germany in May and 19.7 percent in Britain in March.

    【参考译文】
    联合国一组织周二称,全球年轻人失业率再创新高,而且这种趋势将在今年继续延续下去。他们警告说,越来越多的年轻人放弃寻找工作,将导致失迷一代数量激增。
    国际劳工组织在其报告中称,全球15岁到24岁之间的6.2亿年轻工人中,2009年末大约有8100万人失业,这是总部位于日内瓦的劳工组织20年以来的最高纪录。
    国际劳工组织经济学家史蒂文·凯普索斯说:“自从我们开始追踪年轻人失业数据以来,从未见过数量如此之大、比例如此之高的失业现象。”该机构预测,在全球经济持续低迷的影响下,年轻人2010年下半年失业率将继续上升,最后可能达到13.1%。不过到2011年,这一比例应该可以降到12.7%以下。
    在情况特别严峻的欧洲国家,比如西班牙和英国,许多年轻人已经对寻找工作气馁,甚至放弃了找工作。这种趋势将对年轻人造成严重影响,可能越来越多的年轻人加入到失业者行列。这些退出劳动市场、对寻找工作过上体面生活失去希望的年轻人,将成为新的迷失一代。
    报告研究了德国、英国、西班牙以及爱沙尼亚等国的劳动市场,发现德国在处理年轻人长期失业方面最成功。西班牙和英国,那些受教育程度低的年轻人失业率增长明显。
    来自欧盟统计局的数据显示,5月份,西班牙25岁以下人口失业率已经达到40.5%,这是欧盟27个成员国中比例最高的。德国5月恩的失业率为9.4%,英国3月失业率为19.7%。

    Living Alone Is Joyful More and more Americans are living alone.Some live alone because of divorce or the death of a partner. _______（46) According to a recent U.S.census（人口普查）,25 percent of all households in the U.S.are made up of just one person.This is dramatic change from the extended families of just a couple of generations ago. The typical person living alone is neither old nor lonely．
    ______(47)The majority of these people have chosen to live alone.They are responding to decreasing social pressure to get married and have a family.
    It's now socially acceptable,even fashionable,to live alone.As people get better jobs and become financially independent,it becomes possible for them to maintain a one-person household.______(48)
    However,people who do get married are marrying at a later age and divorcing more often. The number one reason given by most people for living alone is that they simply enjoy doing what they want when they want to do it."Living alone is a luxury,"says Nina Hagiwara,33."Once you do it,you can't ever go back to living with others,"David C'Debaca,46,agrees.
    ______(49) Children think that being grown up means being able to do exactly as they please._______(50) The chance to discover whether that freedom is as wonderful as it sounds is a chance more and more Americans are taking.

    ______(49)
    A:There's more pressure to get married nowadays.
    B:The growing number of women with good jobs has done much to increase the number of people living alone.
    C:However,even more people are living alone because they have chosen to.

    F:He says,"I like being by myself."

    答案：F
    解析：
    在第一段开始，作者就提到“越来越多的美国人过着单身生活”，紧接着讲述了“一些人过着单身生活的原因是离婚或者配偶的去世”。选项中只有C项“更多的美国人过单身生活的原因是他们选择了这种生活方式”是与此相关联的。
    前面一句话说“典型的独居人群既不是老年人也不是离异者”；后面一句话说“这些人中的大部分人选择了这一生活方式”，联系上下文可知，“这些人”指的不是前面所提到的老年人或离异者，而应该是本段最后一句话中所提到的“响应减轻社会压力而不结婚和组建家庭的人”，选项中只有E项“事实上，在美国2300万个单身的人中有1/4的人不到35岁”是与此相关联的。
    前面一句话说“因为人们得到了更好的工作，经济上更加独立，所以他们才有可能维持一个人生活需要的开支”，而选项中只有B项“越来越多的女士有了好的工作，她们也使得独居人口的数量增加了”是与此相关联的。
    前面一句话提到了一个人David C ' Debaca，他说“一旦你独居了，就很难再与他人生活在一起。”说明他已经可惯了这种生活方式，而选项中只有F项“他说他喜欢自己生活”是与此相关联的。

    The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economies of Mediterranean countries.Italy's
    30,000 hotels are booked solid every summer.And 13 million people camp out on French beaches, parks and roadsides.Spain's long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhere else.37 million tourists visit yearly,or one tourist for every person living in Spain.
    But there are signs that the area is getting more tourism than it can hand1e; The Mediterranean is already one the most polluted seas on earth.And with increased tourism,it's getting worse.The French can't figure out what to do with all the garbage left by campers around St. Tropez.And in many places,swimming is dangerous because of pollution.

    The writer seems to imply that Europeans travel mostly for the reason that______.
    A:they want to see historic remains or religious spots
    B:they are interested in different cultural traditions and social customs
    C:they would like to take pictures in front of famous sites
    D:they wish to escape from the cold,dark and rainy days back at home

    答案：D
    解析：
    第二段提到北欧游客为了享受阳光而到地中海度假，因为北欧日照短而且阴雨天多。所以选择D。
    第二段中提到伦敦、哥本哈根和阿姆斯特丹的地理位置：地处北欧；气候：冬季日照时间短，长期的阴雨天气。与阳光充足的地中海相比，这三个城市不适合度假，因此选A。
    第三段介绍“西班牙长长的海岸线较之其他旅游胜地吸引了更多的游客”。因此选择B。
    本句介绍西班牙的游客数量，意思是“西班牙有多少居民，就有多少游客”，即西班牙游客的数量与居民的数量一样多。所以应选B。
    最后一段介绍虽然地中海存在污染、交通堵塞，但游客兴致不减，他们去地中海是为了享受阳光。因此阴雨的天气会败坏他们的游兴。
