　　.阅读理解

　　For high school leavers starting out in the working world，it is very important to learn particular skills and practice how to behave in an interview or how to find all internship (实习)．In some countries，schools have programs to help students onto the path to work.In the United States，however，such programs are still few and far between.

　　Research shows that if high schools provide career-related courses，students are likely to get higher earnings in later years.The students are more likely to stay in school，graduate and go on to higher education.

　　In Germany，students as young as 13 and 14 are expected to do internships.German companies work with schools to make sure that young people get the education they need for future employment.

　　But in America，education reform programs focus on how well students do in exams instead of bringing them into contact with the working world.Harvard Education school professor Robert Schwartz has criticized education reformers for trying to place all graduates directly on the four-year college track.Schwartz argued that this approach leaves the country's most vulnerable (易受影响的) kids with no jobs and no skills

　　Schwartz believed that the best career programs encourage kids to go for higher education while also it needs to teach them valuable practical skills at high school.James Madison High School in New York，for example，encourages students to choose classes on career-based courses.The school then helps them gain on-the-job experience in those fields while they're still at high school.

　　However，even for teens whose schools encourage them to connect with work，the job market is daunting.In the US，unemployment rates for 16-19-year-olds are above 20 percent for the third summer in a row.

　　“The risk is that if teenagers miss out on the summer job experience，they become part of this generation of teens who had trouble in landing a job，” said Michael，a researcher in the US.

　　1．In the author's opinion，American high school leavers ______.

　　A．have enough career-related courses

　　B．need more career advice from their schools

　　C．perform better in exams than German students

　　D．can get higher earnings in later years

　　2．According to Robert Schwartz，______.

　　A．there is no need for kids to go for higher education in the US

　　B．students should get contact with the working world at high school

　　C．education reform should focus on students' performance in exams

　　D．teenagers in the US can't miss out on the summer job experience

　　3．What can be inferred from the text?

　　A．Unemployment rates for US teenagers remain high at the moment.

　　B．Students with career-based courses never have problems finding a job.

　　C．US companies work with schools to prepare young people for future employment.

　　D．High school leavers with no practical skills can't find a job absolutely.

　　4．What's the main idea of the text?

　　A．Arguments about recent US education reform.

　　B．Tips on finding jobs for high school leavers.

　　C．The lack of career-based courses in US high schools.

　　D．Advice for American high school leavers.

　　5．The underlined word “daunting” in Paragraph 6 most probably means ______.

　　A．discouraging

　　B．interesting

　　C．creative

　　D．unbearable

　　参考答案

　　Ⅰ.

　　1. 答案：A

　　解析：考查名词。recognition“承认，认可”；permission“允许，许可”；realization “实现”；consideration“考虑”。句意：一般来说，年轻人希望他们的身份得到认可，这种认可确实能够激发他们把工作干好的热情。

　　2. 答案：A

　　解析：句意：我们在足球上从来没有这么辉煌过！昨天的比赛我们以5∶0大胜对手。success通常用作不可数名词，但在这里表示抽象名词具体化，故第一空用不定冠词a；第二空表达的是一个具体的比分，故用不定冠词a。

　　3. 答案：A

　　解析：考查主谓一致。means“方式，方法”，单复数同形，a great many means“许多方法”，复数概念。try“尝试”，与主语是动宾关系，故用被动语态。句意：尝试了很多方法来扑灭俄罗斯的森林大火。

　　4. 答案：B

　　解析：考查代词。句意：低碳生活方式对改善世界环境有巨大的好处。然而只有你深刻理解了才会从中得到享受。由句意可知应选nothing。

　　5. 答案：C

　　解析：考查代词。it作形式宾语，真正的宾语是to have free Saturdays and Sundays。只有it可以作形式宾语。

　　6. 答案：C

　　解析：考查形容词。be convenient for sth.“附近的，近便的，容易到达的”。be close to...“离……近”。

　　7. 答案：B

　　解析：rather than意为“而不是”，连接benefit和upset。more than意为“多于，不仅仅”；other than意为“除了”；less than意为“少于”。由句意可知应选B项。

　　8. 答案：D

　　解析：考查介词。attitude与介词to或towards连用，表示“对……的态度”。

　　9. 答案：A

　　解析：根据句意可知，怀特先生现在生活在迈阿密，在洛杉矶生活是以前的事情，可排除C项；过去完成时是相对于另一个过去事情更早的事情，可排除B项；进行时不能与一段时间状语连用，可排除D项；答案为A项，延续性动词live的一般过去时可以与表示一段时间的for短语连用，强调过去一段时间里曾做过某事。

　　10. 答案：B

　　解析：句意：任何纵火焚烧森林的人都应该受到惩罚。这里是Whoever引导的名词性从句作句子的主语。

　　11. 答案：B

　　解析：考查动词短语。put out“扑灭”；leave out“遗漏”；let out“发出”；turn out“结果是”。句意：当别人在与亲朋好友一起庆祝节日而自己却被遗漏，真是件痛苦的事。根据语意判断，B项正确。

　　12. 答案：D

　　解析：句意：在罗杰博士关于睡眠的讲座里面共有八点忠告，其中之一是：除非你认为有必要早睡，否则不要太早上床睡觉。分析句子结构可知，冒号后的句子是一个祈使句，故选D项。

　　13. 答案：D

　　解析：考查动词。wear well此处意为“耐穿”，而sell well则意为“畅销”，均用主动形式表示被动意义。其他类似的动词有write，wash，read等。句意：牛仔布，众所周知，是一种耐穿的布料，因此销路很好。

　　14. 答案：C

　　解析：由“决不可以让其他任何人知道”可知应选C项，mustn't 表示“禁止，绝对不可”，语气强烈。

　　15. 答案：A

　　解析：考查情态动词。was/were able to表示具体的经过努力而做到的事情；could表示过去具备的“能力”，不表示具体做到了某事。

　　16. 答案：D

　　解析：第一空后接的是“形容词＋不可数名词”，因此使用such；第二空，experienced后缺少宾语，所以用as引导定语从句，并在从句中作宾语。注意在such...that...结构中，that在从句中不充当任何成分。

　　17. 答案：B

　　解析：该题如果构成并列谓语，需要并列连词，可排除A项；D项虽然有并列连词，但是devote形式不正确；C项不定式通常表示目的或结果，不合逻辑；正确答案为B项，现在分词作伴随状语。
