10、题卡上将该项涂黑。ARecently I spoke to some of my students about what they wanted to do after they graduated, and what kind of job prospects they thought they had.Given that I teach students who are training to be doctors, I was surprised to find that most thought that they would not be able to get the jobs

11、they wanted without “outside help”. “What kind of help is that?” I asked, expecting them to tell me that they would need a relative or family friend to help them out.“Surgery(外科手术）”, one replied. I was pretty alarmed by that response. It seems that the graduates of today are increasingly willing to

12、go under the knife to get ahead of others when it comes to getting a job. One girl told me that she was considering surgery to increase her height. “They break your legs, put in special extending screws, and slowly expand the gap between the two ends of the bone as it regrows, you can get at least 5

13、cm taller!”At that point, I was shocked. I am short, I cant deny that, but I dont think I would put myself through months of agony (痛苦) just to a few centimeters taller. I dont even bother to wear shoes with thick soles, as Im not trying to hide the fact that I am just not tall.It seems to me that t

14、here is a trend toward wanting perfection, and that is an ideal that just does not exist in reality.No one is born perfect, yet magazines, TV shows and movies present images of thin, tall, beautiful people as being the norm. Advertisements for slimming aids, beauty treatments and cosmetic surgery cl

15、inics fill the pages of newspapers, further creating an idea that perfection is a requirement, and that it must be purchased, no matter what the cost. In my opinion, skills, rather than appearance, should determine how successful a person is in his chosen career.1. Many graduates today turn to cosme

16、tic surgery to .A. marry a better man Woman B. become a modelC. get an advantage over others in job-hunt D. attract more admirers2. According to the passage, the author believes that .A. everyone should purchase perfection, whatever the costB. it s right for graduates to ask for others to help them

17、out in hunting for jobsC. media are to blame for misleading young people in their seeking for surgeryD. it is ones appearance instead of skills that really matters in ones career3. What does the author think of his height?A. He hates to be called a short man.B. He tries to increase his height throug

18、h surgery.C. He always wears shoes with thick soles to hide the fact.D. He just accepts it as it isBBack in 2003 an 86-year-old man drove his Buick through a crowded farmers market. Nine people were killed. More than fifty-four people were hurt, fourteen with serious injuries. When he finally stoppe

19、d, the 86-year-old man got out his car and screamed at people to get out of the way. No alcohol or drugs were found in his system. Apparently, he was just old and confused.This is a frightening accident, and it is not a rare one. There are many examples of elderly drivers driving into swimming pools

20、, houses, storefronts, or worse.In our teenage years, we all heard “driving is not a right; its a privilege.” That is still true, and there comes an age when driving is no longer a privilege that can be allowed. After a certain age, eyesight and dementia(痴呆）are very serious concerns. Undoubtedly, th

21、ese age-related problems affect some older adults driving ability. By the time a person is between eighty- five and ninety years old, his or her driving privilege should be examined.Licensing laws vary greatly from state to state, and its time for a national law on the maximum age limit for driving.

22、 The motivation for this law is safety. Another option is to start with laws that ban anyone over the age of eighty-five from driving after sundown, because driving conditions are not as safe as daylight hours. Still another option that may allow elderly drivers to continue driving could be new tech

23、nology like a voice warning system that cautions drivers on busy streets or at traffic lights. Finally, since there are laws against driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs, shouldnt some prescription drugs also be included? The average age of 85-year-old is undoubtedly taking at least one

24、prescription drug daily.The thought of an 86-year-old driver with failing eyesight running down the road in a two- ton piece of metal is unsettling to us all. Driving at an advanced age is not only challenging for the elder drivers, but also its dangerous for the rest of us.4. The first paragraph is

25、 written in order to show .A. the harm of driving at an old age B. the importance of traffic safetyC. traffic accidents are on the rise D. many elderly drivers are careless5. The author suggests that there should be new laws against driving .A. over eighty-five B. between sunset and dawnC. with the

26、help of voice warning systems D. under the influence of prescription drugs6. The underlined word “unsettling in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to “ ”.A. disappointing B. worryingC. touching D. interesting7. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. How to keep old peop

27、le safe on the road?B. Are drivers well protected by licensing laws?C. Should there be an age limit for elderly drivers?D. Is driving a right or a privilege for an old person?CMain people believe that the only way to make our communities safer is to build more prisons. But theres a way to better pro

28、tect cities and towns by doing just the opposite.In many countries throughout the world, prison populations have risen dramatically over the past decade. One of the main reasons for this is the large number of repeat offenders, that is people who break the law again are once freed from jail. Statist

29、ics show that about one in four prisoners freed every year return to jail within three years.This is partly because ex-prisoners face huge difficulty finding employment. More than a third of them cannot find any job at all. Data show that having a job greatly reduces the chances that a person will c

30、ommit a crime again or commit one in the first place. Released prisoners who do manage to find steady employment are 50 percent less likely to return to prison. Rather than harming a community, having a job helps ex-prisoners to change their ways and make a positive and productive contribution to th

31、eir communities.Whats more, helping these men and women find jobs would also save taxpayers a lot of money. Few prisoners would save governments millions or possibly even billions of dollars annually: the costs of building and operating jails.There are many things that the government can do to help

32、ex-prisoners find work. More job training programs should be introduced to provide prisoners with work skills before they are freed. Companies and factories should also be given tax benefits if they employ ex-prisoners. Such programs have been shown to work in several countries.Such policies of course assure that freed criminals actually want to work. But shouldnt they be given the chance? Our goal, after all,
