21、n (35 minutes)Directions: There are 4 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 mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single lin
22、e through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Educating girls quite possibly yields a higher rate of return than any other investment available in the developing world. Womens education may be unusual territory for economists, but enhancing womens contribution
23、 to development is actually as much an economics as a social issue. And economics, with its emphasis on incentives （鼓励） ，provides guideposts that point to an explanation for why so many girls are deprived of an education.Parents in low-income countries fail to invest in their draughts because they d
24、o not expect them to make an economic contribution to the family: girls grow up only to marry into somebody elses family and bear children. Girls are thus seen as less valuable than boys and are kept at home to do housework while their brothers are sent to school the prophecy（预言）become self-fulfilli
25、ng, trapping women in a vicious circle（恶性循环） of neglect.An educated mother, on the other hand, has greater earning abilities outside the home and faces an entirely different set of choices. She is likely to have fewer but healthier children and can insist on the development of all her children, ensu
26、ring that her daughters are given a fair chance. The education of her daughters then makes it much more likely that the next generation of girls, as well as of boys, will be educated and healthy. The vicious circle is thus transformed into a virtuous circle.Few will dispute that educating women has
27、great social benefits. But it has enormous economic advantage as well. Most obviously, there is the direct effect of education on the wages of female workers. Wages rise by 10 to 20 per cent for each additional year of schooling. Such big returns are impressive by the standard of other available inv
28、estments, but they are just the beginning. Educating women also has a significant impact on health practices, including family planning.21. The author argues that educating girls in developing countries is _.A rewarding B expensiveC troublesomeD labor-saving22. By saying “ the prophecy becomes self-
29、fulfilling ”(Line 4-5, Para. 2), the author means that _.A girls will eventually find their goals in life beyond reach B girls will be increasingly discontented with their life at homeC girls will be capable of realizing their own dreamsD girls will turn out to be less valuable than boys23. The auth
30、or believes that a vicious circle can turn into a virtuous circle when _.A women care more about educationB parents can afford their daughters educationC girls can gain equal access to educationD a family has fewer but healthier children24. What does the author say about womens education?A It has ar
31、oused the interest of a growing number of economists. B It will yield greater returns than other known investments.C It is now given top priority in many developing countries.D It deserves greater attention than other social issue.25. The passage mainly discusses _.A unequal treatment of boys an gir
32、ls in developing countries B the major contributions of educated women to societyC the economic and social benefits of educating womenD the potential earning power of well-educated womenPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Psychiatrists（精神病专家）who work with older parents s
33、ay 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 fai
34、ling health against the growing demands of an active child. Dying and leaving young children is probably the older peoples 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, ret
35、irement becomes an unobtainable dream.Henry Metcalf, a 54-year-old journalist, knows it takes money to raise kids. But hes also worried that his energy will give out first. Sure, he can still ride bikes with his athletic fifth grader, but hes learned that young at heart doesnt mean young. Lately hes
36、 been taking afternoon naps（午睡）to keep up his energy. “My body is aging,” says Metcalf, “You cant get away from that.”Often, older parents hear the ticking of another kind of biological clock. Therapists who work with middle-aged and aged parents say fears about aging are nothing to laugh at. “They
37、worry theyll be mistaken for grandparents, or that theyll need help getting up out of those little chairs in 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 wont be alive enough to support and protect thei
38、r child,” she says.Many late-life parents, though, say their children came at just the right time. After marrying late and undergoing years of fertility（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 h
39、ave 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.”26. Why do psychiat
40、rists regard maturity as an asset in child rearing?A Older parents can better balance their resources against childrens demands.B Older parents are usually more experienced in bringing up their children.C Older parents are often better prepared financially.D Older parents can take better care of the
41、ir children. 27. What does the author mean by saying “For many, retirement becomes an unobtainable dream” (Line 7-8, Para. 1)?A They have to go on working beyond their retirement age.B They cant get full pension unless they work some extra years.C They cant obtain the retirement benefits they have d
42、reamed of.D They are reluctant to retire when they reach their retiring age.28. The author gives the example of Henry Melcalf to show that _.A many people are young in spirit despite their advanced ageB taking afternoon naps is a good way to maintain energyC older parents tend to be concerned about
43、their aging bodiesD older parents should exercise more to keep up with their athletic children29. Whats the biggest fear of older parents according to New York psychologist Joann Galst?A Being laughed at by other people.B Slowing down of their paces of life.C Being mistaken for grandparents.D Approa
44、ching of death.30. What do we learn abut Marilyn and Randy Nolen?A They thought they were examples of successful fertility treatment.B Not until they had the twins did they feel they had formed a family.C They believed that children born of older parents would be smarter.D Not until they reached mid
45、dle age did they think of having children.Passage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Interest in pursuing international careers has soared in recent years, enhanced by chronic（长久的） personnel shortage that are causing companies to search beyond their home borders for talent.Pr
46、ofessionals seek career experience outside of their home countries for a variety of reasons. They may feel the need to recharge their batteries with a new challenge. They may want a position with more responsibility that encourages creativity and initiative. Or they may wish to expose their children
47、 to another culture, and the opportunity to learn a second language.When applying for a job, one usually has to submit a resume or curriculum vitae (CV). The two terms generally mean the same thing: a one-or two-page documents describing ones educational qualifications and professional experience. H
48、owever, guidelines for preparing a resume are constantly changing. The best advice too find out what is appropriated regarding the corporate（公司的） culture, the country culture, and the culture of the person making the hiring decision. The challenge will be to embrace two or more cultures in one document. The following list is a good place to start.Educational requirement differ from country to country. In almost every case ofcross-border job hunting, just stating the title of your degree will not be an adequate description. Provide the rea
