Clark, an economist, stated that “proper information regarding wages if sufficiently _13_ upon people, will lead to correct choice of occupation and correct _14_ of people in an occupation, provided barriers to occupations have been removed.” This means that the supply and demand of workers have _15_to do with wages, _16_in turn influence people to choose certain careers. However, all barriers to occupations will have to be removed _17_ career choices can be _18_ by economics alone. There is little question _19_economic factors have some influence on choice of an occupation.

He was acknowledging one of our most distinctive characteristics: the fact that we are social animals whose behavior and personalities are shaped by the groups to which we belong.NrpoJac3v1Throughout life, most of our daily activities are performed in the company of others. Whether our purpose is working, playing, raising a family, learning, or simply relaxing, we usually pursue it in groups, even if the group is as small as two or three people. Our need for human contacts is not merely a practical one。 it is a deep psychological need as well. If people are deprived of the company of others for prolonged periods, mental breakdown is the usual result. Even the Geneva Convention(日内瓦条约, an international agreement that regulates the treatment of prisoners of war, recognizes this need. It regards solitary(孤单的 imprisonment for more than thirty day as a cruel form of torture(折磨.1nowfTG4KIIn its strictest sense, a group is a collection of people interacting together in an orderly way on the basis of shared expectations about one anothers behavior. As result of this interaction, members feel a common sense of “belonging.” They distinguish members from nonmembers and expect certain kinds of behavior from outsiders.fjnFLDa5Zo21.By “No man is an island,” John Donne means _.tfnNhnE6e5A. no one can live on an island aloneB. a man is not surrounded by sea on all sidesHbmVN777sLC. a man and an island are irrelevantD. no one can live in isolation from other peopleV7l4jRB8Hs22.The fact that we work or even play in groups illustrates the point that _.83lcPA59W9A. people are different from animalsB.

In the past, health was only the absence of disease or illness. Today, though, health has a broader meaning. Health is the state of your well-being that includes how you feel physically, mentally, and socially. Wellness is another term that describes this broader view of health. You can understand the need for a broader definition if you think about how health in your life is different from health in your grandparents lives.ooeyYZTjj1In 1900, the main causes of death were diseases that were spread by bacteria(细菌 and viruses(病毒.If you had lived then, the danger of your dying from pneumonia(肺炎 would have been three times greater than the danger of your dying from cancer.BkeGuInkxIThe diseases that were most common in 1900 affected people of all ages. It is not surprising, then that around 1900, the emphasis of health was on freedom from illness. Today many of the diseases that were common in 1900 can be prevented or cured by improved medicines and methods of sanitation(卫生. Most diseases now are likely to occur later in life. You as a teenager will probably not have to think about the same threats to your health as your grandparents did.PgdO0sRlMoThese improvements in health conditions mean that not only can you now enjoy a better life, but you also have a greater chance of having a longer life. Controlling diseases has increased the life expectancy in the United States. Generally, people born more recently have higher life expectancies. Since 1900, the life expectancy in the United States has increased by more than 27 years. It has increased from 47 years for those born in 1900 to 74 years 1981.3cdXwckm1526.According to Paragraph 1, health and wellness _.h8c52WOngMA. can be used interchangeably on all occasionsB. are different in that the latter has a broader sensev4bdyGiousC. had the same meaning in the pastD. both refer to the state of your well-being27.Which of the following statements is true?A. Diseases caused by bacteria and viruses were incurable in 1900.J0bm4qMpJ9B. Bacteria and viruses are the main causes of death today.XVauA9grYPC. Medicines for curing pneumonia were not available in 1900.bR9C6TJscwD. Pneumonia caused as many deaths in 1900 as cancer does today.pN9LBDdtrd28.“Life expectancy” in the last paragraph most probably means _.DJ8T7nHuGTA. the kind of life that a person may expect to liveQF81D7bvUAB. the mode of life that a group of people have lived4B7a9QFw9hC. the length of time that a person or an animal has livedix6iFA8xoXD. the length of time that people may expect to livewt6qbkCyDE29.On an average, people in America who were born in 1900 _.Kp5zH46zRkA. had a life-span of 74 yearsB. lived a shorter but better life than those born laterC. lived to 47 years of ageD. lived 27 years longer than those born in 198130.The intended readers of the passage are _.Yl4HdOAA61A. teenagersB. the diseasedC. adultsD. aged peoplePassage Three ch4PJx4BlIQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.qd3YfhxCzoMost Americans would have a difficult time telling you, specifically, what the values are which Americans live by. They have never given the matter any thought.E836L11DO5Over the years I have introduced thousands of international visitors to life in the United States. This has caused me to try to look at Americans through the eyes of foreign visitors。 I am confident that the values listed in this booklet describe most (but not allAmericans, and that understanding these values can help you, the international visitor, understand Americans.S42ehLvE3MIt is my belief that if foreign visitors really understand how deeply these 13 values are ingrained in Americans, they will then be able to understand 95% of American actions actions which might otherwise appear “strange,” “confusing,” or “unbelievable” when evaluated from the perspective of the foreigners own society and its values.501nNvZFisThe different behaviors of a people or a culture make sense only when seen through the basic beliefs, assumptions and values of that particular group. When you encounter an action, or hear a statement in the United States which surprises you, try to see it as an expression of one or more of the values listed in this booklet.jW1viftGw931.Can an ordinary American tell you his/her value system?xS0DOYWHLPA. Yes, because this is something an American lives by.LOZMkIqI0wB. No, because everyone will have his/her own system.ZKZUQsUJedC. No, because he/she has never thought about it.D.

By intelligence we mean a way of living and behaving, especially in a new or upsetting situation.P2IpeFpap5For instance, when in a new situation, an intelligent person thinks not about himself or what might happen to him. He tries to find out all he can, and then predicts the situation, acts immediately and tries to do something about it. He probably isnt sure how it will all work out, but at least he tries. And if he cannot make things work out right, he doesnt feel ashamed that he has failed。 he just tries to learn from his mistakes. An intelligent person, even if he is very young, has a special outlook on life, a special feeling about life, and knows how to fit into it.3YI
