Preparing for the Next Job Market
The latest spike in the unemployment rate is being felt across the board ?in 98 percent of metropolitan areas, in high-wage and low-wage jobs, among young and old, women and men, but especially men．
This landscape means that young Americans who are trying to plan their futures right now have some hard choices．Do they go to college and take on debt without hope of getting a job? And what about high school students? Do they have any chance of securing a job without a college degree? Perhaps the education system needs to react to this rapidly moving economic crisis．
In our current economic collapse, the connection between education and employment could not be more different than it was during the Depression．Education must now hold center stage, not because of an enemy abroad but because of the global economy．The jobs of the future will demand levels of education, particularly skills in mathematics, technology and science, which exceed those now taught in high school．
A healthy society should strive for full employment．In our times, that goal cannot be realized, or even approximated by creating jobs for the unskilled．The long-term prospect for economic recovery depends on the extent to which we improve our educational system．And this is where America is now at its weakest．
C．We should limit access to four-year colleges．
D．We ought to recruit more private school teachers and train them better．
What does the word "collapse" in the third paragraph mean?
A．success B．failure C．development D．booming
Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A．Young Americans planning their futures have difficult choices．
B．Education must hold center stage due to the global economy．
C．The best university system benefits a majority．
D．A health society should struggle for full employment．

The government-run command post in Tunis is staffed around the clock by military personnel, meteorologists and civilians. On the wall are maps, crisscrossed with brightly colors arrows that painstakingly track the fearsome path of the enemy.
What kind of invader gives rise to such high-level monitoring? Not man, not beast, but the lowly desert locust(蝗虫). In recent months, billions of the 3-inch-long winged warriors have descended on Algeria, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia, blackening the sky and eating up crops and vegetation. The insect invasion, the worst in 30 years, is already creating great destruction in the Middle East and is now treating southern Europe. The current crisis began in late 1985 near the Red Sea. Unusually rainy weather moistened the sands of the Sudan, making them ideal seedbed for the locust, which lays its eggs in the earth. The insect onslaught threatens to create yet another African famine. Each locust can eat its weight (not quite a tenth of an ounce) in vegetation every 24 hours. A good-size swarm of 50 billion insects eats up 100,000 tons of grass, trees and crops in a single night.
All ﹩150 million may be needed this year. The U.S. has provided two spraying planes and about 50,000 gal. of pesticide. The European Community has donated ﹩3.8 million in aid and the Soviet Union, Canada, Japan and China have provided chemical-spraying aircraft to help wipe out the pests. But relief efforts are hampered by the relative mildness of approved pesticides, which quickly lose their deadly punch and require frequent replications. The most effective locust killer dieldrin has been linked to cancer and is banned by many Western countries and some of the affected African nations. More than 5 million acres have been dusted with locust-killing chemicals; another 5 million will be treated by the end of June.
On May 30, representatives of Tunisia, Algeria, Libya, Morocco and Mauritania will meet in Algiers to discuss tactics to wipe out the ravenous swarms. The move is an important step, but whatever plan is devised, the locust plague promised to get worse before the insects can be brought under control.
【小题1】The main idea of the first sentence in the passage is that ______.
| A．the command post is stationed with people all the time. |
| B．the command post is crowded with people all the time. |
| C．there are clocks around the command post. |
| D．the clock in the command post is taken care of by the staff. |
| A．rich soil. | B．wet land |
| C．paces covered crops and vegetation | D．the Red Sea |
| A．the insects are likely to create another African famine. |
| B．the insects may blacken the sky. |
| C．the number of the insects increases drastically. |
| D．the insects are gathering and moving in great speed. |
| A．Once the pesticides are used, locust will die immediately. |
| B．Relief efforts are proved most fruitful due to the effectiveness of certain pesticides. |
| C．Dieldrin, the most effective locust killer, has been widely accepted in many countries. |
| D．Over 10 million acres of affected area will have been treated with locust-killing chemicals by the end of June. |

首先请阅读下列6出电影的简要介绍，并按照要求匹配信息。
A．It is about the legend of vampire, the story of the wolf man, the
campus life, moved love story, horror, adventure and other elements. The story
begins with the main character, Isabella (Bella) Swan, moving from Phoenix, to
the small town of Forks, a dreary and rain-filled place, to live with her
father. She develops a relationship with fellow student, Edward Cullen, who
initially annoys her, but despite a rough beginning, they fall in love. After
witnessing some strange behavior from Edward, Bella eventually discovers that
he is a vampire, but despite the very real risk to her life, she cannot bear to
be apart from him. Eventually Bella is introduced to Edward’s vampire family,
not all of who welcome her with open arms, however, it is Edward’s family that
go to great lengths to save Bella when her life is threatened.
B. With an absent father and a withdrawn and
depressed mother, 17 year-old Ree Dolly keeps her family together in a dirt
poor rural area. She's taken backwards however when the local Sheriff（县治安官） tells her that her father put up
their house for his bail（保释）and unless he shows up for
his trial in a week's time, they will lose it all. She knows her father is
involved in the local drug trade and manufactures crystal meth but anywhere she
goes the message is the same: stay out of it and stop poking your nose in other
people's business. She refuses to listen, even after her father's brother,
Teardrop, tells her he's probably been killed. She pushes on, putting her own
life in danger, for the sake of her family until the truth, or enough of it, is
revealed.
C. Dom Cobb is a skilled thief, the absolute
best in the dangerous art of extraction, stealing valuable secrets from deep
within the subconscious during the dream state, when the mind is at its most
vulnerable. Cobb's rare ability has made him a coveted（妄想的） player in this deceitful new
world of corporate espionage, but it has also made him an international
fugitive. Now Cobb is being offered a chance at redemption（赎）. One last job could give him his life back but only if he can
accomplish the impossible-inception. Instead of the perfect heist, Cobb and his
team of specialists have to pull off the reverse: their task is not to steal an
idea but to plant one. But no amount of careful planning or expertise can
prepare the team for the dangerous enemy that seems to predict their every
move...
D. Reflecting on her earlier life, she
observes that for most of it she was either with a man or in the process of
leaving one, and so in the first stages of her journey she experiments with
singleness. Not with solitude, exactly, since Liz is naturally sociable and
acquires friends easily. Back home in New York she has Delia, and in Rome a
Swedish woman named Sofi introduces her to an amicable（心平气和）group of Italians, including a
fellow whose last name is Spaghetti. While he is seen mainly in group shots,
his namesake food is filmed in loving close-ups. In keeping with the theme of
self-examination, Liz’s trip is confined to countries that begin with the letter
“I”. From the ruins of Italy, to an ashram in India, and then to
Indonesia......
E. John Crowley is a worried businessman and
father of two children stricken with Pompe disease, suffering of muscle
deterioration（恶化）with an
age expectancy of nine years. With critical birthdays looming on the horizon,
Crowley decides to take a chance and pursue research scientist Robert
Stonehill, a rebellious thinker in the field of Pompe with radical ideas on
enzyme therapy. Promising money he doesn't necessarily have, Crowley talks
Stonehill into a business venture, pushing the irascible（暴躁的） scientist into research while he worries about the cash flow. With
the clock ticking, Stonehill presents challenging theories, irritating the
interest of pharmaceutical giants, who demand results practically overnight.
With Stonehill feeling the heat during this demoralizing process, Crowley
fights to maintain the face of Pompe, to keep the cure from becoming just
another compromised drug on the market.
F. Bob Ho, a Chinese spy who was loaned to
the CIA and is now retiring so he can settle down and marry his girlfriend,
Gillian, who lives next door and doesn't know he's a spy. She thinks he's a pen
importer. Around her, Bob acts like a boring country man, wears eyeglasses, and
hides his super-spy abilities. Gillian loves that he's normal and reliable, not
like her ex-husband, who ran off and left her with three kids. So Gillian has
to go out of town because her father's in the hospital, and Bob volunteers to
babysit so he can bond with the children. Meanwhile, a Russian terrorist named
Poldark has escaped CIA custody and is looking for a top-secret code that young
Ian accidentally downloaded from Bob's computer, which means Poldark and his
goons are going to show up any minute now and kill them all. Bob must save the
children -- and the world!
