Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)
Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage 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 blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.
Passage 1
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:
The most famous collections of fairy tales (童話) are the ones by Jakob and Wilhelm Grimm. The Grimms published their first fairy-tale collection in 1812. They didn’t think they were writing for children. They thought they were preserving disappearing German folk culture. Their first edition (版本) was a scholarly book that carefully recorded the oral tales. They were surprised when some of their early readers suggested that the stories might be interesting to children.
（第一題相關(guān)句） But the Grimms needed money. They had made a bad deal with their publisher and received little payment for their first book. At one point Wilhelm complained there wasn’t a chair in his house one could sit on without worrying it would break. So he took the hint and set to work to make a book that would be suitable for children. （第二題相關(guān)句）He selected a few of the tales, made them much longer, and polished up the language. He didn’t add morals, but he did slip in character judgments and moralizing comments wherever he could.
The Grimms’ fairy tales also have one characteristic that would seem to make them unsuitable for children. Many of them include violent incidents. In “Hansel and Gretel” an old woman is burned to death in an oven, and in “Little Red Riding Hood” a child is eaten by a wolf. When he revised the tales for children, Wilhelm Grimm retained the violence. In fact, he sometimes even ramped it up. For example, in the first edition of the tales, Cinderella forgives her sisters at the end. It’s only in the second edition, the one intended for children, that her birds peck (啄) out their eyes.
Why, then, have the Grimms’ fairy tales become classics of children’s literature, so much so that it is hard to imagine a child who doesn’t know Cinderella’s story or Snow White’s?
One answer is that only a few of the tales survived into modern times. The first edition of the Grimms’ fairy tales had 210 tales. By 1825 it was down to 50. And today only a dozen or so of the tales are often reprinted in children’s collections.
(第四題相關(guān)句) (76) But the deeper answer is that the tales that have lasted are magical adventures that help children deal with the struggles and fears of their everyday lives.
1. Why did Wilhelm Grimm set out to adapt his book for children?
A. To deal with readers’ complaints.
B. To improve his financial situation.
C. At the request of his publisher.
D. To preserve the ancient stories in print.
1. 問題問“為什么Wilhelm Grimm著手改寫他為孩子們編寫的書？”
分析：
（第一題相關(guān)句） But the Grimms needed money. They had made a bad deal with their publisher and received little payment for their first book. At one point Wilhelm complained there wasn’t a chair in his house one could sit on without worrying it would break. So he took the hint and set to work to make a book that would be suitable for children.
依據(jù)相關(guān)句的意義可知： Grimm著手改寫他為孩子們編寫的書是因?yàn)樗麄冃枰X， 當(dāng)時(shí)他們的經(jīng)濟(jì)狀況很糟糕， 房子里窮的甚至沒有一張能讓人感到安全的椅子。因此答案為B(改善經(jīng)濟(jì)狀況)。

He didn’t add morals, but he did slip in character judgments and moralizing comments wherever he could.（“他沒有增加故事的寓意， 但是卻不失時(shí)機(jī)的加入了人物角色的判斷和關(guān)于道德方面的評論”， 這與A一致）， 所以答案為C.
3. What does the expression “ramped it up” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Started. B. Allowed. C. Classified. D. Increased.
3. 問題問“第三段的ramped it up是什么意思？”。 Ramp up 是“加強(qiáng)， 加大”， 因此D(增加)是答案。

4． 問題問“關(guān)于Grimms的童話故事的陳述下面哪項(xiàng)正確？”
(76) But the deeper answer is that the tales that have lasted are magical adventures that help children deal with the struggles and fears of their everyday lives.該句說“更深層次的答案是：那些流傳下來的故事都是關(guān)于不可思議的冒險(xiǎn)，這些冒險(xiǎn)故事能幫助孩子應(yīng)對日常生活中的掙扎和恐懼?！边@與選項(xiàng)B意義一致。

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:
. As the school year kicks off, parents are once again straggling to cajole (哄編)and, if need be, drag their exhausted teens out of bed. That image may make you laugh, but lack of sleep is no joke. (77) Teenagers who don’t get enough rest have more learning. health~ behavior and mood problems than students who get at least nine hours a night. Long-term lack of sleep is tied to heart disease, overweight, depression and a shortened life span in adults, indicating the importance of establishing good sleep habits early in life. Lack of sleep can be especially deadly for teens; car accidents are the leading cause of death among teenagers, and safety experts believe sleepy driving is a major factor.
Unfortunately, few teenagers get the sleep they need. In a survey of middle- and high-school students, University of Colorado researchers found that 82 percent said they woke up tired and unrefreshed, and more than half had trouble concentrating during the day at least once a week.
Blame multitasking for some of this. Many students are juggling after-school
activities, homework and part-time jobs. Even when they manage to fulfill these obligations by a reasonable hour, television, the Internet, video games, phone calls and text messages to friends often keep them awake deep into the night. Taking soda and energy drinks late in the day and going to late-night parties on weekends add to sleep debt. Biology also works against teenagers’ sleep, The body’s internal clock, which controls when a person starts to feel tired, shifts after puberty (青春期), making it hard for most teens to fall asleep before 11 pm. Class usually begins before 8:15 am, with many high schools starting as early as 7:15 am. To get to school on time, most teens have to get up by 6:30 am, guaranteeing they’ll be sleep-deprived during the week. Teens often sleep much later on weekends to catch up, making it even harder to fall asleep on Sunday night and wake up Monday morning. Playing catch-up on weekends also doesn’t help teens stay refreshed when they need it most: during the week at school.
Since the 1990s, middle and high schools in more than two dozen states have experimented with later school start times. (78) The results have been encouraging.’ more sleep, increased attendance, better grades and fewer driving accidents. But most schools still start early, meaning teens have their work cut out for them if they want to get enough sleep.
6. According to the passage, poor sleep can be linked to all of the following EXCEPT
A. heart disease B. car accidents
C. skin problems D. poor concentration
6． C. 問題問“依據(jù)短文， 睡眠不好可能與下列的選項(xiàng)相關(guān)聯(lián)， 除了哪個(gè)選項(xiàng)以外？”
. As the school year kicks off, parents are once again straggling to cajole (哄編)and, if need be, drag their exhausted teens out of bed. That image may make you laugh, but lack of sleep is no joke.

D. why sleep deprivation is a serious concern
分析： 問題問“第三段的大意是什么？”
Blame multitasking for some of this. Many students are juggling after-school
activities, homework and part-time jobs. Even when they manage to fulfill these obligations by a reasonable hour, television, the Internet, video games, phone calls and text messages to friends often keep them awake deep into the night. Taking soda and energy drinks late in the day and going to late-night parties on weekends add to sleep debt.

Playing catch-up on weekends also doesn’t help teens stay refreshed when they need it most: during the week at school.
這段文字主要講述了造成青少年睡眠不足的原因：除了學(xué)習(xí)以外，還有很多的事情要做；很晚了還喝蘇打水和功能飲料，參加周末開到深夜的聚會(huì)，每天開始上課的時(shí)間太早等。因此答案為B.
8. What does the word “juggling” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Dealing with at the same time. B. Striking a balance between.
C. Applying for. D. Having difficulty in.
8. A。問題問“第三段中的juggling是什么意思？”juggle一詞的基本意義是“雜?！?。 前一句提出觀點(diǎn)“同時(shí)做多件事情是應(yīng)該對此承擔(dān)一部分責(zé)任”， 然后接下來說“許多學(xué)生在課后活動(dòng)， 家庭作業(yè)和兼職工作之間耍雜?！?。依據(jù)這兩個(gè)句子的意義判斷“同時(shí)應(yīng)對”是答案。 該題寫作邏輯： 概括 + 解釋
9. Which of the following is NOT to blame for teenagers’ lack of sleep?
A. Multitasking. B. Biological clock. :
C. Weekend catch-up sleep. D. Healthy diet.
9． 問題問“下面哪個(gè)選項(xiàng)不是造成青少年睡眠不足的原因？”
Blame multitasking for some of this.（與選項(xiàng)A呼應(yīng)）Many students are juggling after-school activities, homework and part-time jobs. Even when they manage to fulfill these obligations by a reasonable hour, television, the Internet, video games, phone calls and text messages to friends often keep them awake deep into the night. Taking soda and energy drinks late in the day and going to late-night parties on weekends add to sleep debt.

(78) The results have been encouraging.’ more sleep, increased attendance, better grades and fewer driving accidents. But most schools still start early, meaning teens have their work cut out for them if they want to get enough sleep.
相關(guān)句說“自從20世紀(jì)90年代以來， 美國20多個(gè)州的中學(xué)和高中已經(jīng)在嘗試推遲學(xué)校開課的時(shí)間”， 因此C是答案。 Passage 3
Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:
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, abandoning rules in 2011 that had formerly stopped 16- to 24-year-o!ds 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.
(79) More than one million young people in Britain are unemployed, the 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 gets benefit from the government for long; ministers are keen to avoid what happened after the early- 1980s recession (~/l/), 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 employers, 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. (80) Some 35,000 youngsters participated last year; half found paid work soon after finishing the scheme.
The idea of 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 accept 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 (兩極分化的) opinion: a third of people are consistently opposed. Following a noisy “Right to Work” campaign that accused employers of co-operating secretly 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 of employers (for now, at least) but also enabled him to announce that new firms have agreed to take part in the program.
11. 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 learn something about job security through unpaid work

12. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT TRUE?
A. Most voters support the government’s effort to help young people to find work.
B. Some people protest against the government’s attempt to force young people to
work.
C. There are more than one million young people who took part in the program.

By the time I finished high school,考試用書 my interest in animals had grown, and I enrolled at a university to study biology. I learned soon enough that studying animals 56 this level was not in the animals’ best 57. I remember one midterm exam in 58 each student was handed a large, freshly-killed frog and 59 to dissect (解剖)and mark a set of body parts. I looked at the 60 frog in front of me and was saddened that her life was 61 away for such a slight 62.
A year later, in the same lab 63 I dissected the frog, I performed a small act of animal 64. We were 65 on fruit flies, and it was time to record the distribution of characteristics in their next generation. Flies were 66 in small plastic bottles. Counting the number of flies with white or red eyes required first exposing them to ether (乙醚) 67 they could not move. The flies were then spread onto a piece of white paper 68 and counted. When the data collection was 69 , the flies had no further use, and our instructions were to 70 them into a small glass dish of oil at the center of each desk, which was to be their final resting 71.
Once my little pile of flies had been counted, I pushed them off the edge of the paper. As we recorded our data, I kept one eye 72 them. Within minutes the pile was humming (嗡嗡叫) as tiny legs and wings beat their way out of the ether fog. I was extremely excited as they 73 flight. That was my first 74 in refusing to conduct scientific research that treated nonhuman life in a(n) 75 way.

Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage 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 blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.
Passage 1
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:
The most famous collections of fairy tales (童話) are the ones by Jakob and Wilhelm Grimm. The Grimms published their first fairy-tale collection in 1812. They didn’t think they were writing for children. They thought they were preserving disappearing German folk culture. Their first edition (版本) was a scholarly book that carefully recorded the oral tales. They were surprised when some of their early readers suggested that the stories might be interesting to children.
（第一題相關(guān)句） But the Grimms needed money. They had made a bad deal with their publisher and received little payment for their first book. At one point Wilhelm complained there wasn’t a chair in his house one could sit on without worrying it would break. So he took the hint and set to work to make a book that would be suitable for children. （第二題相關(guān)句）He selected a few of the tales, made them much longer, and polished up the language. He didn’t add morals, but he did slip in character judgments and moralizing comments wherever he could.
The Grimms’ fairy tales also have one characteristic that would seem to make them unsuitable for children. Many of them include violent incidents. In “Hansel and Gretel” an old woman is burned to death in an oven, and in “Little Red Riding Hood” a child is eaten by a wolf. When he revised the tales for children, Wilhelm Grimm retained the violence. In fact, he sometimes even ramped it up. For example, in the first edition of the tales, Cinderella forgives her sisters at the end. It’s only in the second edition, the one intended for children, that her birds peck (啄) out their eyes.
Why, then, have the Grimms’ fairy tales become classics of children’s literature, so much so that it is hard to imagine a child who doesn’t know Cinderella’s story or Snow White’s?
One answer is that only a few of the tales survived into modern times. The first edition of the Grimms’ fairy tales had 210 tales. By 1825 it was down to 50. And today only a dozen or so of the tales are often reprinted in children’s collections.
(第四題相關(guān)句) (76) But the deeper answer is that the tales that have lasted are magical adventures that help children deal with the struggles and fears of their everyday lives.
1. Why did Wilhelm Grimm set out to adapt his book for children?
A. To deal with readers’ complaints.
B. To improve his financial situation.
C. At the request of his publisher.
D. To preserve the ancient stories in print.
1. 問題問“為什么Wilhelm Grimm著手改寫他為孩子們編寫的書？”
分析：
（第一題相關(guān)句） But the Grimms needed money. They had made a bad deal with their publisher and received little payment for their first book. At one point Wilhelm complained there wasn’t a chair in his house one could sit on without worrying it would break. So he took the hint and set to work to make a book that would be suitable for children.
依據(jù)相關(guān)句的意義可知： Grimm著手改寫他為孩子們編寫的書是因?yàn)樗麄冃枰X， 當(dāng)時(shí)他們的經(jīng)濟(jì)狀況很糟糕， 房子里窮的甚至沒有一張能讓人感到安全的椅子。因此答案為B(改善經(jīng)濟(jì)狀況)。
2. When revising the fairy tales, Wilhelm did all of the following EXCEPT .
A. adding character judgments B. making the tales much longer
C. deleting the violent scenes D. polishing up the language
2． 問題問“在改寫那些童話故事時(shí)，下面哪項(xiàng)不是Wilhelm做了的事情？”
（第二題相關(guān)句）He selected a few of the tales, made them much longer（與選項(xiàng)B一致）, and polished up the language（與選項(xiàng)D一致）. He didn’t add morals, but he did slip in character judgments and moralizing comments wherever he could.（“他沒有增加故事的寓意， 但是卻不失時(shí)機(jī)的加入了人物角色的判斷和關(guān)于道德方面的評論”， 這與A一致）， 所以答案為C.
3. What does the expression “ramped it up” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Started. B. Allowed. C. Classified. D. Increased.
3. 問題問“第三段的ramped it up是什么意思？”。 Ramp up 是“加強(qiáng)， 加大”， 因此D(增加)是答案。
4. Which of the following statements about the Grimms’ fairy tales is TRUE
according to the passage?
A. They were originally intended to be children’s stories.
B. Generally speaking, the tales that have endured can help children deal with the
challenges life brings to them.
C. A large number of the tales made it to the modern age.
D. They are less violent than the children’s stories being written today.
4． 問題問“關(guān)于Grimms的童話故事的陳述下面哪項(xiàng)正確？”
(76) But the deeper answer is that the tales that have lasted are magical adventures that help children deal with the struggles and fears of their everyday lives.該句說“更深層次的答案是：那些流傳下來的故事都是關(guān)于不可思議的冒險(xiǎn)，這些冒險(xiǎn)故事能幫助孩子應(yīng)對日常生活中的掙扎和恐懼?！边@與選項(xiàng)B意義一致。
5. What is the passage mainly concerned with?
A. History of fairy tales.
B. Ways to preserve the oral tradition.
C. The Grimms’ fairy tales.
D. Violence in fairy tales.
5．問題問“這篇文章主要關(guān)于什么內(nèi)容？” 答案為C. Grimms及fairy tales都是在文章中反復(fù)出現(xiàn)， 容易識別的文章主題詞。 Passage 2
Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:
. As the school year kicks off, parents are once again straggling to cajole (哄編)and, if need be, drag their exhausted teens out of bed. That image may make you laugh, but lack of sleep is no joke. (77) Teenagers who don’t get enough rest have more learning. health~ behavior and mood problems than students who get at least nine hours a night. Long-term lack of sleep is tied to heart disease, overweight, depression and a shortened life span in adults, indicating the importance of establishing good sleep habits early in life. Lack of sleep can be especially deadly for teens; car accidents are the leading cause of death among teenagers, and safety experts believe sleepy driving is a major factor.
Unfortunately, few teenagers get the sleep they need. In a survey of middle- and high-school students, University of Colorado researchers found that 82 percent said they woke up tired and unrefreshed, and more than half had trouble concentrating during the day at least once a week.
Blame multitasking for some of this. Many students are juggling after-school
activities, homework and part-time jobs. Even when they manage to fulfill these obligations by a reasonable hour, television, the Internet, video games, phone calls and text messages to friends often keep them awake deep into the night. Taking soda and energy drinks late in the day and going to late-night parties on weekends add to sleep debt. Biology also works against teenagers’ sleep, The body’s internal clock, which controls when a person starts to feel tired, shifts after puberty (青春期), making it hard for most teens to fall asleep before 11 pm. Class usually begins before 8:15 am, with many high schools starting as early as 7:15 am. To get to school on time, most teens have to get up by 6:30 am, guaranteeing they’ll be sleep-deprived during the week. Teens often sleep much later on weekends to catch up, making it even harder to fall asleep on Sunday night and wake up Monday morning. Playing catch-up on weekends also doesn’t help teens stay refreshed when they need it most: during the week at school.
Since the 1990s, middle and high schools in more than two dozen states have experimented with later school start times. (78) The results have been encouraging.’ more sleep, increased attendance, better grades and fewer driving accidents. But most schools still start early, meaning teens have their work cut out for them if they want to get enough sleep.
6. According to the passage, poor sleep can be linked to all of the following EXCEPT
A. heart disease B. car accidents
C. skin problems D. poor concentration
6． C. 問題問“依據(jù)短文， 睡眠不好可能與下列的選項(xiàng)相關(guān)聯(lián)， 除了哪個(gè)選項(xiàng)以外？”
. As the school year kicks off, parents are once again straggling to cajole (哄編)and, if need be, drag their exhausted teens out of bed. That image may make you laugh, but lack of sleep is no joke.

7. The main idea of Paragraph 3 is
A. how sleep deprivation (缺乏) can be treated
B’ what causes sleep deprivation
C. who is most at risk for sleep deprivation
D. why sleep deprivation is a serious concern
分析： 問題問“第三段的大意是什么？”
Blame multitasking for some of this. Many students are juggling after-school
activities, homework and part-time jobs. Even when they manage to fulfill these obligations by a reasonable hour, television, the Internet, video games, phone calls and text messages to friends often keep them awake deep into the night. Taking soda and energy drinks late in the day and going to late-night parties on weekends add to sleep debt.

A. Multitasking. B. Biological clock. :
C. Weekend catch-up sleep. D. Healthy diet.
9． 問題問“下面哪個(gè)選項(xiàng)不是造成青少年睡眠不足的原因？”
Blame multitasking for some of this.（與選項(xiàng)A呼應(yīng)）Many students are juggling after-school activities, homework and part-time jobs. Even when they manage to fulfill these obligations by a reasonable hour, television, the Internet, video games, phone calls and text messages to friends often keep them awake deep into the night. Taking soda and energy drinks late in the day and going to late-night parties on weekends add to sleep debt. Biology also works against teenagers’ sleep, （與選項(xiàng)B一致）The body’s internal clock, which controls when a person starts to feel tired, shifts after puberty (青春期), making it hard for most teens to fall asleep before 11 pm. Class usually begins before 8:15 am, with many high schools starting as early as 7:15 am.

(78) The results have been encouraging.’ more sleep, increased attendance, better grades and fewer driving accidents. But most schools still start early, meaning teens have their work cut out for them if they want to get enough sleep.
相關(guān)句說“自從20世紀(jì)90年代以來， 美國20多個(gè)州的中學(xué)和高中已經(jīng)在嘗試推遲學(xué)校開課的時(shí)間”， 因此C是答案。 Passage 3
Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:
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, abandoning rules in 2011 that had formerly stopped 16- to 24-year-o!ds 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.
(79) More than one million young people in Britain are unemployed, the 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 gets benefit from the government for long; ministers are keen to avoid what happened after the early- 1980s recession (~/l/), 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 employers, 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. (80) Some 35,000 youngsters participated last year; half found paid work soon after finishing the scheme.
The idea of 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 accept 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 (兩極分化的) opinion: a third of people are consistently opposed. Following a noisy “Right to Work” campaign that accused employers of co-operating secretly 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 of employers (for now, at least) but also enabled him to announce that new firms have agreed to take part in the program.
11. 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 learn something about job security through unpaid work
分析：D。 問題問“依據(jù)文章來看， 英國的年輕人…”文章開頭就提到“As any middle-class parent knows, unpaid work experience can give youngsters a valuable introduction to a secure job./ 正如任何中產(chǎn)階級的父母所知道的那樣， 不帶薪的工作經(jīng)歷會(huì)引導(dǎo)年青人了解什么是穩(wěn)定的工作?！?這與選項(xiàng)D（可能會(huì)通過不帶薪的工作經(jīng)歷而對獲得關(guān)于穩(wěn)定工作的認(rèn)識）一致
12. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT TRUE?
A. Most voters support the government’s effort to help young people to find work.
B. Some people protest against the government’s attempt to force young people to
work.
C. There are more than one million young people who took part in the program.
D. There are more than one million young people who are jobless.
分析：問題問“依據(jù)文章來看， 下面哪個(gè)選項(xiàng)陳述的意義不正確？”

The idea of 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. （與選項(xiàng)A意義一致）Equally attractive was the option of compelling them to work: Under the existing arrangements youngsters could choose whether or not to accept 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 (兩極分化的) opinion: a third of people are consistently opposed.（與選項(xiàng)B意義一致）Following a noisy “Right to Work” campaign that accused employers of co-operating secretly 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 of employers (for now, at least) but also enabled him to announce that new firms have agreed to take part in the program.
選項(xiàng)C是文章中沒有提及的信息， 因此答案為C。
13. 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來自www.Examw.com
C. avoid the economic slowdown
D. reduce welfare spending
分析：問題問“依據(jù)作者來看， 英國政府正試圖…”
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, abandoning rules in 2011 that had formerly stopped 16- to 24-year-o!ds 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.
(79) More than one million young people in Britain are unemployed, the 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 gets benefit from the government for long; (與選項(xiàng)D意義一致)ministers are keen to avoid what happened after the early- 1980s recession (~/l/), when unemployment continued in some parts of the country for a long time after the economy began to improve.
第二段中的句子說: the government has introduced an ambitious program of reform to get youngsters off welfare and into work(政府已經(jīng)引入了一個(gè)改革計(jì)劃, 這個(gè)計(jì)劃要使年輕人脫離福利救濟(jì), 靠工作養(yǎng)活自己)., 由此推出政府這樣做的目的也是為了試圖減少在社會(huì)福利方面的支出.因此答案為D.

I learned soon enough that studying animals 56 this level was not in the animals’ best 57. I remember one midterm exam in 58 each student was handed a large, freshly-killed frog and 59 to dissect (解剖)and mark a set of body parts. I looked at the 60 frog in front of me and was saddened that her life was 61 away for such a slight 62.
A year later, in the same lab 63 I dissected the frog, I performed a small act of animal 64. We were 65 on fruit flies, and it was time to record the distribution of characteristics in their next generation. Flies were 66 in small plastic bottles. Counting the number of flies with white or red eyes required first exposing them to ether (乙醚) 67 they could not move. The flies were then spread onto a piece of white paper 68 and counted. When the data collection was 69 , the flies had no further use, and our instructions were to 70 them into a small glass dish of oil at the center of each desk, which was to be their final resting 71.
Once my little pile of flies had been counted, I pushed them off the edge of the paper. As we recorded our data, I kept one eye 72 them. Within minutes the pile was humming (嗡嗡叫) as tiny legs and wings beat their way out of the ether fog. I was extremely excited as they 73 flight. That was my first 74 in refusing to conduct scientific research that treated nonhuman life in a(n) 75 way.
