Chinese college students have graduated to find the job market vary from when they entered school and those so-called “hot courses” might fail to land them good jobs.
Graduates with different majors have very different experiences in the job market. But degrees in finance, economics and a few other fields often guarantee good jobs.
“I have applied to 15 companies online, and most of them show interest in hiring me,” said WangLi, a postgraduate of labor Economics at Southwest University of Finance and Economics in
Students of mining and materials science that were not popular before, however, have observed more employment opportunities than before. The employment rate of graduates from the courses was 100 percent at
On the contrary, some so-called “hot courses” including law, journalism and computer science that have received large groups of students, failed them in the job market. Experts said high tuition fee of those courses led to blind enrollment expansion.
Another problem which makes it difficult for graduates to find jobs is the gap between school- learned- knowledge and requirements of real career.
In 2007, merely 60percent of computer science graduates were employed. Meanwhile, job vacancies in IT industry exceeded one million. IT companies complained about the large amount of money they spend on pre-career training of new employees. They hope universities adjust their courses to better prepare students for their future work.
In addition to academic background, employers are looking for college graduates with a good sense of responsibility. This merit is followed by a sense of team work, ambition, flexibility, eloquence, independence, confidence, pressure-bearing ability, communication skills and so on.
59. The graduates with degrees in “hot courses” may have difficulty in finding satisfactory jobs probably because ______________.
A. the graduates with such degrees are of poor quality
B. those fields have developed slowly in recent years
C. there are too many graduates with such degrees
D. enterprises will not employ the graduates with such degrees
60. The words “hot courses” in the first paragraph of this passage refers to “________”.
A. law, journalism and computer science
B. economics, finance and accounting
C. mining and materials science
D. economics, journalism and materials science
61. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Economics, finance and accounting are no longer “hot” now.
B. Quite a number of college students don’t work hard at their lessons.
C. The quality of some of the college graduates can not meet the demands of companies.
D. Universities have already adjusted their courses to prepare students for their future work.
62. The author seems to agree that __________.
A. middle school graduates should choose good universities as well as good majors
B. besides academic background, sense of responsibility is also very important
C. university students shouldn’t work hard at their lessons
D. middle school graduates should not choose these “hot courses”
C
We usually think of pollution as a harmful waste substance that threatens the air and water. But
some people have become concerned about another kind of pollution. It can be everywhere,
depending on the time of day. And it was not thought of as a substance. It is light.
The idea of light pollution has developed with the increase of lights in cities. In many areas, this
light makes it difficult or impossible to observe stars and in the night sky. In 1998, the
International Dark-Sky Association formed. This organization wants to reduce light pollution in
the night sky. It also urges the effective use of electric lighting.
There are a number of reasons why light pollution is important. One has become clear at the Mount Wilson near
Light pollution is the result of wasted energy. Bright light shining into the sky is not being used to provide light where it is needed on Earth. Poorly designed lighting causes a great deal of light pollution. Lights that are brighter than necessary also cause light pollution.
Recently, two Italian astronomers and an American environmental scientist created a world map of the night sky. The map shows that North America, Western Europe and
Objects in the night sky are resources that provide everyone with wonder. And light pollution threatens to prevent those wonderful sights from being seen.
63.According to the passage, which country has the greatest amount of light pollution?
A. China. B.
64. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. Poorly designed lighting causes light pollution.
B. Light pollution can help us observe the night sky.
C. In 1998, the International Dark-Sky Association formed.
D. There are observatories in
65. From the passage, we can learn that light pollution mainly occurs in________.
A. big cities B. crowded streets
C. busy markets D. large factories
66. Which of the following is NOT a reason why light pollution is a problem?
A. It can reduce the scientific value of research telescopes.
B. It is a waste of energy.
C. It can prevent wonderful sights from being seen in the night sky.
D. It makes lighting systems poorly designed.
D
It is hard to track the blue whale, the ocean’s largest creature which has almost been killed off by commercial whaling and is now listed as an endangered species. Attaching radio equipment to it is difficult and visual sightings are too unreliable to give insight into its behavior.
So biologists were delighted early this year when with the help of the Navy they were able to track a particular blue whale for 43 days monitoring its sounds. This was possible because of the Navy’s formerly top-secret system of underwater listening equipment spanning （估量）the oceans. Tracking whales is one example of an exciting new world just opening to civilian scientists after the cold war as the Navy starts to share and partly uncover its global network of underwater listening system built over the decades to track the ships of potential enemies.
Earth scientists announce at a news conference recently that they had used the system for closely monitoring a deep-sea volcanic eruption for the first time and that they plan similar studies. Other scientists have proposed to use the network for tracking ocean currents and measuring changes in ocean and global temperatures. The speed of sound in water is roughly one mile a second-slower than through land but faster than through air. What is most important, different layers of ocean water can act as channels for sounds focusing them in the same way a stethoscope (听诊器)does when it carries faint noises from a patient’s chest to a doctor’s ear. This focusing is the main reason that even relatively weak sounds in the ocean especially low frequency ones can often travel thousands of miles.
67. The passage is chiefly about _____________.
A. an effort to protect an endangered marine species
B. the civilian use of a military detection system
C. the exposure of a US Navy top-secret weapon
D. a new way to look into the behavior of blue whales
68. The underwater listening system was originally designed __________.
A. to mark and locate enemy ships
B. to monitor deep-sea volcanic eruptions
C. to study the movement of ocean currents
D. to replace the global radio communication network
69. The deep-sea listening system makes use of __________.
A. the complex technology of focusing sounds underwater
B. the capability of sound to travel at high speed
C. the special quality of layers of ocean water in sending out sound
D. low-frequency sounds traveling across different layers of water
70. It can be inferred from the passage that ___________.
A. new radio equipment should be developed for tracking the endangered blue whales
B. blue whales are no longer endangered with the use of new listening system
C. opinions differ as to whether civilian scientists should be allowed to use military technology
D. military technology has great potential in civilian use

第四部分 任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）
请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。注重：每空格1个单词。
Your blood makes a round trip through your body in less than one minute thousands of times a day. It travels through tubes called blood vessels. There are three main kinds of blood vessels-arteries, veins（静脉） and capillaries（毛细血管）. When blood is pumped out of your heart it goes into your largest arteries. These branch into smaller arteries, which branch into still smaller ones. The blood flows from the smallest arteries into your capillaries.
Capillaries are bridge between your arteries and your veins. They are the tiniest blood vessels, so small that you can not see them without a microscope. Blood travels from the capillaries into tiny veins. These lead to larger and still larger veins. Finally, the largest veins take the blood back to your heart.
Blood feeds your cells, cleans them, and works to keep them healthy. It carries food and oxygen to each cell of your body. The food and oxygen get into cells by passing through the thin walls of your capillaries.
Blood cleans all your cells by picking up wastes from them. The wastes pass from your cells, through the capillary walls into your blood. The wastes called urea and uric acid are carried by the blood to our body and urine. The waste gas called carbon dioxide is carried by the blood to your lungs. It leaves your body when you breathe out.
Blood also protects you. It has special cells in it that fight germs. The cells in your blood that fight germs are called “white cells”. These are like an army for your body. They kill harmful germs that get into your blood. When a large number of germs enter your body, the number of white cell “ soldiers” grows. A lot of blood moves to the area where the germs are. The white cell soldiers attack the germs and kill them. The used white cells and dead germs form the thick yellow liquid called pus（脓）. If the pus is inside a sore on your skin, it may leak out.
(1)_________ about your blood
(2)_________ blood travel
From your heart to the (3)___________ , the capillaries and your (4) ____________ back to your heart.
Why you need blood

A good teacher-student relationship will make learning enjoyable and interesting for the students and teaching worthwhile for a teacher.
To set up a good teacher-student relationship, a teacher’s behavior is especially important. The teacher should motivate the students so that they would like to learn. A good teacher should be patient, friendly and strict. Remember not to encourage students by pushing or forcing or punishing them. Being too friendly may cause students to become lazy and stop working hard. On the other hand, being too strict may frighten students. So，a teacher should avoid going to extremes in treating his / or her students. And the demand for the teachers who should take responsibility for his / her job should encourage students to think independently and learn to study by themselves and also make his lessons lively and interesting.
However，as for the students, they should always show respect for their teachers and their work. Students should be eager to learn and willing to put their heart into their study. It’s significant for students to listen to their teacher attentively in class and it’s more important to learn to come up to questions and work out problems in new ways.
In conclusion, a good teacher-student relationship can be mutually beneficial. The students gain knowledge eagerly and enjoyably and the teacher gains satisfaction form his / her job.
