[单项选择]Passage Two

waking Up from the American Dream There has been much talk recently about the phenomenon of "Wal-Martization" of America, which refers to the attempt of America’s giant Wal-Mart chain store company to keep its cost at rock-bottom levels. For years, many American companies have embraced Wal-Mart-like stratagems to control labor costs, such as hiring temps (temporary workers) and part-timers, fighting unions, dismantling internal career ladders and outsourcing to lower paying contractors at home and abroad. While these tactics have the admirable outcome of holding down consumer prices, they’re costly in other ways. More than a quarter of the labor force, about 34 million workers, is trapped in low-wage, often dead-end jobs. Many middle-income and highs killed employees face fewer opportunities, too, as comp A. there are always possibilities offered to people to develop themselves in the society B. Americans can always move up the pay ladder C. American young people can have access to college, even they are poor D. the labor force is not trapped in low-wage and dead-end jobs 查看答案 更多"Passage Two "的相关试题: [单项选择]Passage Two waking Up from the American Dream There has been much talk recently about the phenomenon of "Wal-Martization" of America, which refers to the attempt of America’s giant Wal-Mart chain store company to keep its cost at rock-bottom levels.

C. the School of Business. D. the Arts and Sciences program. 查看答案 [单项选择]Passage Two The two claws of the mature American lobster are decidedly different from each other. The crusher claw is short and stout; the cutter claw is long and slender. Such bilateral asymmetry, in which the right side of the body is, in all other respects, a mirror image of the left side, is not unlike handedness in humans. But where the majority of humans are right-handed, in lobsters the crusher claw appears with equal probability on either the right side or left side of the body. Bilateral asymmetry of the claws comes about gradually. In the juvenile fourth and fifth stages of development, the paired claws are symmetrical and cutterlike. Asymmetry begins to appear in the juvenile sixth stage of development, and the paired claws further diverge toward well-defined cutter and crusher claws during succeeding stages. An intriguing aspect A. drawing an analogy between asymmetry in lobsters and handed in humans. B. developing a method for predicating whether crusher claws in lobster will appear on the left or right side C. explaining differences between lobsters’ crusher claws and cutter claws D. discussing a possible explanation for the way bilateral asymmetry is determined in lobsters 查看答案 [单项选择]Passage Two If two scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory are correct, People will still be driving gasoline-powered cars 50 years from now, giving out heat-trapping carbon dioxide into the atmosphere--and yet that carbon dioxide will not contribute to global warming. The scientists, F. Jeffrey Martin and William L. Kubic Jr., are proposing a concept, which they have patriotically named Green Freedom for removing carbon dioxide from the air and turning it back into gasoline. The idea is simple. Air would be blown over a liquid solution which would absorb the carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide would then be extracted and subjected to chemical reactions that would turn it into fuel. Although they have not yet built a fuel factory, or even a small prototype, the scientists say it is all based on existing technology. "Everything in the co A. It is given a patriotic name. B. No law of physics is violated. C. It is based on existing technology. D. Carbon dioxide can be converted into fuel. 查看答案 [填空题]Passage Two At two minutes to noon in September 1 of 1923, the great clock in Tokyo stopped.
