Despite a cooling of the economy, high technology
companies are still crying out for skilled workers. The Information Technology
Association of America projects that more than 800 000 technology jobs will go
unfilled next year. The lack of qualified workers poses a huge threat to the U.
S. economy.
The most commonly cited reason for this state of
affairs is that the country’s agrarian-age education system, separated from the
needs of the business world, fails to prepare students in the primary and
secondary grades for twenty-first-century work. Yet an inadequate and outmoded
education system is only part of the problem. A less tangible but equally
powerful cause is an antique classification system that divides the workforce
into two camps: white-collar knowledge workers and blue-collar manual
laborers.
Blue-collar workers em
A. 800 000 Technology Jobs Unfilled
B. Gold-collar Workers Needed
C. U.S. Economy Threatened

Passage Two
Nearly four years ago, a web-based political movement set itself the modest task of "closing the gap between the world we have and the world most people everywhere want". Calling their group Avaaz, which means "voice" in several languages, the founders aimed to reproduce globally some of the success which their predecessors—like America’s Moveon.org, and Australia’s Getup! —had enjoyed in national political fields.
By its own lights, the movement, using 14 languages and engaged in an astounding list of causes, has had some spectacular successes. Within the next few months, membership will top 6m. The number of individual actions taken is estimated at over 23m.

[单项选择] Passage One
Despite much loose talk about the new
global economy, today’s international economic integration is not unprecedented.
The 50 years before the first world war saw large cross-border flows of goods,
capital and people. That period of globalization, like the present one, was
driven by reductions in trade barriers and by sharp falls in transport costs,
thanks to the development of railways and steamships. The present surge of
globalization is in a way, a resumption (恢复) of that previous trend. The earlier
attempt at globalization ended abruptly with the first world war, after which
the world moved into a period of fierce trade protectionism and tight
restrictions on capital movement. During the early 1930s, America sharply
increased its tariffs, and other countries retaliated (报复), making the Great
Depression even greater. The volu
A. large cross-border flows of people
B. development of railways and steamships
C. sharp falls in transport costs
D. emergence of network

Despite the fact that today viruses
(病毒) are known to cause cancer in animals and in certain plants, there exists a
great reluctance to accept viruses as being of importance in human cancer. Basic
biological phenomena generally do not differ strikingly as one goes from one
species to another. It should be recognized that cancer is a biological problem
and not a problem that is unique for man. Cancer originates when a normal cell
suddenly becomes a cancer cell which multiplies widely and without apparent
restraint. Cancer may originate in many different kinds of cell, but the cancer
cell usually continues to carry certain traits (特性) of the cell of origin. The
transformation of a normal cell into a cancer cell may have more than one kind
of cause, but them is good reason to consider the relationships that exist
between viruses and
A. viruses are known to cause cancer in animals
B. at present, human cancer is not believed to be contagious (传染的)
C. there are many known causes for the transformation of a normal cell to a cancer cell
D. results of experiments on plants and animals do not vary greatly from species tn species
