Ⅲ Reading comprehension (30%)

Passage One

There is a new type of small advertisement becoming increasingly common in newspaper

classified columns. It is sometimes placed among “situations vacant”, although it does not offer

anyone a job, and sometimes it appears among “situations wanted”, although it is not placed by

someone looking for a job, either. What it does is to offer help in applying for a job.

“Contact us before writing your application”, or “Make use of our long experience in

preparing your curriculum vitae or job history”, is how it is usually expressed. The growth and

apparent success of such a specialized service is, of course, a reflection on the current high levels

of unemployment. It is also an indication of the growing importance of the curriculum vitae (or

job history), with the suggestion that it may now qualify as an art form in its own right.

There was a time when job seekers simply wrote letters of application. “Just put down your

name, address, age and whether you have passed any exams”, was about the average level of

advice offered to young people applying for their first jobs when I left school. The letter was

really just for openers, it was explained, everything else could and should be saved for the

interview. And in those days of full employment the technique worked. The letter proved that you

could write and were available for work. Your eager face and intelligent replies did the rest.

Later, as you moved up the ladder, something slightly more sophisticated was called for. The

advice then was to put something in the letter which would distinguish you from the rest. It might

be the aggressive approach. “Your search is over. I am the person you are looking for”, was a

widely used trick that occasionally succeeded. Or it might be some special feature specially

designed for the job interview.

There is no doubt, however, that it is increasing number of applicants with university

education at all points in the process of engaging staff that has led to the greater importance of the

curriculum vitae.

1. The new type of advertisement which is appearing in newspaper column______________ .

A）informs job hunters of the opportunities available

B）promises to offer useful advice to those looking for employment

C）divides available jobs into various types

D）informs employers of the people available for work

2. Nowadays a demand for this specialized type of service has been created because

_________.

A）there is a lack of jobs available for artistic people

2

B）there are so many top level jobs available

C）there are so many people out of work

D）the job history is considered to be a work of art

3. In the past it was expected that first job hunters would______________ .

A) write an initial letter giving their life history

B) pass some exams before applying for a job

C) have no qualifications other than being able to read and write

D) keep any detailed information until they obtained an interview

4. Later, as one went on to apply for more important jobs, one was advised to include in the

letter .

A) something that would distinguish one from other applicants

B) hinted information about the personality of the applicant

C) one’s advantages over others in applying for the job

D) an occasional trick with the aggressive approach

5. The curriculum vitae has become such an important document because .

A) there has been an increase in the number of jobs advertised

B) there has been an increase in the number of applicants with degrees

C) jobs are becoming much more complicated nowadays

D) the other processes of applying for jobs are more complicated

Passage Two

In cities with rent control, the city government sets the maximum rent that a landlord can

charge for an apartment. Supporters of rent control argue that it protects people who are living in

apartments. Their rent cannot increase; therefore, they are not in danger of losing their homes.

However, the critics say that after a long time, rent control may have negative effects. Landlords

know that they cannot increase their profits. Therefore, they invest in other businesses where they

can increase their profits. They do not invest in new buildings, which would also be

rent-controlled. As a result, new apartments are not built. Many people who need apartments

cannot find any. According to the critics, the end result of rent control is a shortage of apartments

in the city.

Some theorists argue that the minimum wage law can cause problems in the same way. The

federal government sets the minimum that an employer must pay workers. The minimum helps

people who generally look for unskilled, low—paying jobs. However, if the minimum is high,

employers may hire fewer workers. They will replace workers with machinery. The price, which is

the wage that employers must pay, increases. Therefore, other things being equal, the number of

workers that employers want decreases. Thus, critics claim, an increase in the minimum wage may

cause unemployment. Some poor people may find themselves without jobs instead of with jobs at

the minimum wage.

Supporters of the minimum wage say that it helps people keep their dignity. Because of the

law, workers cannot sell their services for less than the minimum. Furthermore, employers cannot

force workers to accept jobs at unfair wages.

Economic theory predicts the results of economic decisions such as decisions about farm

production, rent control, and the minimum wage. The predictions may be correct only if “other

things are equal”. Economists do not agree on some of the predictions. They also do not agree on

3

the value of different decisions. Some economists support a particular decision while others

criticize it. Economists do agree, however, that there are no simple answers to economic

questions.

6. There is the possibility that setting maximum rent may______________ .

A) cause a shortage of apartments

D) encourage landlords to invest in building apartment

7. According to the critics, rent control__________________ .

A) will always benefit those who rent apartments

B) is unnecessary

C) will bring negative effects in the long run

D) is necessary under all circumstances

8. The problem of unemployment will arise_________________ .

A) if the minimum wage is set too high B) if the minimum wage is set too low

C) if the workers are unskilled D) if the maximum wage is set

9. The passage tells us____________________ .

A) the relationship between supply and demand

B) the possible results of government controls

C) the necessity of government control

D) the urgency of getting rid of government controls

10. Which of the following statements is NOT true?

B) Minimum wage can not always protect employees.

C) Economic theory can predict the results of economic decisions if other factors are not

changing.

D) Economic decisions should not be based on economic theory.

Passage three

Psychiatrists (精神病专家) who work with older parents say that maturity can be an asset in

child rearing - older parents are more thoughtful, use less physical discipline and spend more time

with their children. But raising kids takes money and energy. Many older parents find themselves

balancing their limited financial resources, declining energy and failing health against the growing

demands of an active child. Dying and leaving young children is probably the older parents'

biggest, and often unspoken, fear. Having late-life children, says an economics professor, often

means parents, particularly fathers, "end up retiring much later." For many, retirement becomes an

unobtainable dream.

Henry Metcalf. a 54-year-old journalist, knows it takes money to raise kids. But he's also

worried that his energy will give out first. Sure, he can still ride bikes with his athletic fifth grader,

but he's learned that young at heart doesn't mean young. Lately he's been taking afternoon naps

(午睡) to keep up his energy. "My body is aging," says Metcalf. "You can't get away from that."

Often, older parents hear the ticking of another kind of biological clock. Therapists who work

with middle-aged and older parents say fears about aging are nothing to laugh at. "They worry

they'll be mistaken for grandparents, or that they'll need help getting up out of those little chairs in

4

nursery school," says Joann Galst, a New York psychologist. But at the core of those little fears

there is often a much bigger one: "that they won't be alive long enough to support and protect.

Many late-life parents, though, say their children came at just the right time. After marrying late

and undergoing years of fertilily (受孕) treatment, Marilyn Nolen and her husband. Randy, had

twins "We both wanted children," says Marilyn, who was 55 when she gave birth. The twins have

given the couple what they desired for years, "a sense of family." Kids of older dads are often

smarter, happier and more sociable because their fathers are more involved in their lives. 'The dads

are older, more mature," says Dr. Silber, "and more ready to focus on parenting."

11. Why do psychiatrists regard maturity as an asset in child rearing?

A) Older parents are often better prepared financially.

B) Older parents can take better care of their children.

C) Older parents are usually more experienced in bringing up their children.

D) Older parents can better balance their resources against children's demands.

12. What does the author mean by saying "For many, retirement becomes an unobtainable

dream" (Lines 7-8, Para. 1)?

A) They are reluctant to retire when they reach their retirement age.

B) They can't obtain the retirement benefits they have dreamed of.

C) They can't get full pension unless they work some extra years.

D) They have to go on working beyond their retirement age.

13. The author gives the example of Henry Metcalf to show that________________

A) older parents should exercise more to keep up with their athletic children

B) many people are young in spirit despite their advanced age

C) older parents tend to be concerned about their aging bodies

D) taking afternoon naps is a good way to maintain energy

14. What's the biggest fear of older parents according to New York psychologist Joan Galst?

A) Approaching of death. B) Slowing down of their pace of life.

C) Being laughed at by other people. D) Being mistaken for grandparents

15. What do we learn about Marilyn and Randy Nolen?

A) They thought they were an example of successful fertility treatment.

B) Not until they reached middle age did they think of having children.

C) Not until they had the twins did they feel they had formed a family.

D) They believed that children born of older parents would be smarter.
