7．If you know exactly what you want，the best way to get a job is to get specialized training．A recent report shows that companies like graduates in such fields as business and health care who can go to work immediately with very little on-the-job training．
    That's especially true of booming fields that are challenging for workers．At Cornell's School of Hotel Administration，for example，bachelor's degree graduates get an average of four or five job offers with salaries ranging from the high teens to the low 20s and plenty of chances for rapid advancement．Large companies especially like a background of formal education coupled with work experience．But in the long run，too much specialization does not pay off．Business，which has been flooded with MBAs，no longer considers the degree an automatic stamp of approval．The MBA may open doors and command a higher salary initially，but the impact of a degree washes out after five years．
As further evidence of the erosion of corporate faith in specialized degrees，Michigan State's Scheetz cites a pattern in corporate hiring practices．Although companies tend to take on specialists as new hires，they often seek out generalists for middle and upper-level management．This sounds like a formal statement that you approve of the liberal-arts（文科） graduate．Time and again labor-market analysts mention a need for talents that liberal-arts majors are assumed to have：writing and communication skills，organizational skills，open-mindedness and adaptability，and the ability to analyze and solve problems．David Birch，manager of the Boston Red Sox，says that he does not hire anybody with an MBA or an engineering degree．"I hire only liberal-arts people because they have a less-than-canned way of doing things，"says Birch．
For a liberal-arts degree，students focus on some basic courses that include literature history，mathematics，economics，science，human behavior and a computer course or two．With these useful and important courses，you can feel free to specialize，"A liberal-arts degree coupled with an MBA or some other technical training is a very good combination in the marketplace，"says Scheetz．
67．The job market is in great need of people withC．
A．special training in special fields
B．a(chǎn) bachelor's degree in education
C．formal schooling and work experience
D．a(chǎn)n MBA degree from top universities
68．The underlined sentence in Paragrph 2 meansA．
A．a(chǎn)n MBA degree does not help in future promotion
B．MBA programs will not be as popular as they are now
C．people will not forget the degree the MBA graduates have got
D．most MBA programs fail to provide students with a foundation
69．David Birch says that he only hires liberal-arts people becauseB．
A．they will follow others'ways of solving problems
B．they can do better in bundling changing situations
C．they are well trained in a variety of specialized fields
D．they have attended special programs in management
70．The author supports the idea thatD．
A．on-the-job training is less costly in the long run
B．formal schooling is less important than job training
C．specialists are more expensive to hire than generalists
D．generalists will do better than specialists in management．

分析 本文是一篇科教類閱讀，文章主要講述了現(xiàn)在市場上需要的人才是那些接受過正規(guī)教育悠悠工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)的人，很多公司需要有戰(zhàn)略眼光的人．此外，作者認(rèn)為管理職位應(yīng)該給那些受過各方面教育的通才．

解答 67-70．CABD
67．C理解判斷題．根據(jù)全篇內(nèi)容來看，市場上需求的人才是那些接受過正規(guī)教育又有工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)的人．根據(jù)第二段Large companies，especially，like a background of formal education coupled with work experience．也明確指出這類人尤其受大公司歡迎．schooling指學(xué)校教育．故選C
68．A語義辨析題．上文說"The MBA may open doors and command a higher salary initially…"工商管理碩士可以找到工作并且開始時(shí)要求較高的薪水，但是"學(xué)位的影響力在5年后會(huì)消失"．后面緊接著說"As further evidence of the erosion（銷蝕）of corporate（公司的）faith in specialized degrees，Michigan State's Scheetz cites a pattern in corporate hiring practices．Although companies tend to take on specialists as new hires，they often seek out generalists for middle and upper-level management．"我們主要看后面一句話："雖然公司在招募新人時(shí)更多地要專才，但對(duì)于中層和高層經(jīng)理崗位，他們更多地要通才．所以工商管理碩士學(xué)位能夠幫助人們進(jìn)入公司，但過幾年后無法幫助人們進(jìn)入管理層，與B選項(xiàng)"工商管理碩士學(xué)位不能幫助持有者進(jìn)入管理層"意思一致．故選A．
69．B理解判斷題．根據(jù)Birch的話可以看出，他認(rèn)為文科畢業(yè)生做事比較靈活．canned指"千篇一律的，刻板的"；less-than-canned指"不那么刻板的，靈活機(jī)動(dòng)的"．故選B．
70．D理解判斷題．這道題需要考生排除掉作者不同意的觀點(diǎn)，而選出作者支持的觀點(diǎn)．通篇來看，作者借別人之口闡述了他的看法：即管理職位應(yīng)該給那些受過各方面教育的通才．故選D．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文考察學(xué)生的理解推斷能力以及細(xì)心程度，只要抓住文章的關(guān)鍵詞，采用尋讀的方法查找細(xì)節(jié)，就能找到正確答案．

18．These young men were a different kind of prisoner from those we had seen before．They-were brave，hostile（懷敵意的）and（1）     they would not take orders，and shouted
"Amandla！"at every opportunity．Their instinct was to confront（對(duì)抗）rather than cooperate．
The authorities②did not know how to handle them，and they turned the island upside down．
During the Rivonia Trial，I remarked to a security policeman that if the government did not reform itself，the freedom fighters who would take our place③would some-day make the
authorities miss us．That day had indeed come on Robben Island．
In these young men we saw the angry revolutionary spirit of the times．I had had some
warning．On a visit with Winnie a few months before，she had managed to tell me through our coded conversation that there was a rising class of discontented youths④who were violent and Africanist in beliefs．She said they were changing the nature of the struggle and that I should be aware of them．
The new prisoners were shocked by what they considered the inhuman conditions of the island，and said that they could not understand how we could live in such a way．We told them
that they should have seen the island in 1964．But hey were almost as sceptical of us as they were of the authorities．They chose to ignore our calls for discipline and thought our advice weak and unassertive（不果斷）．
It was obvious that they regarded us，the Rivonia Trialists⑤，as moderates⑥（溫和派）．
After so many years of being branded a radical（激進(jìn)的）revolutionary，to be seen as a moderate was a novel and not altogether pleasant feeling．I knew that I could react in one of two ways：I could scold them for their disrespect or I could listen to what they were saying．I chose the latter．
'4hen some of these men，such as Strini Moodley of the South African Students'
Organization and Saths Cooper of the Black People's Convention，came into our section，I
（2）     
Shortly after their arrival on the island，the commanding officer came and asked me as a
favour to address the young men．He wanted me to tell them to behave themselves，to recognize the fact that they were in prison and to accept the discipline of prison life．I told him that I was not prepared to do that．Under the circumstances，they would have regarded me as a follower of the authorities．
（-adapted from"Long walk to freedom：The autobiography of Nelson Mandela'）

66．Which of the following words fits best in Blank （1）？B
A．mild   B．a(chǎn)ggressive   C．friendly   D．optimistic
67•We may infer from the passage all of the following EXCEPT thatD
A．a(chǎn)n angry massive revolution was probably on its way
B．the author's activities were strictly monitored
C．many were concerned about the influence these young men could make
D．these young men were willing to cooperate in face of difficulties
68．Sentences are missing in Blank （2）regarding the author's following reactions．Which of the  following reactions do you think he would have？A
A．"I"asked them to tell us about their movement and beliefs．

15．The Republic of Vanuatu is an island nation located in the South Pacific Ocean．It was one of the poorest nations in the region．Within the last five years，however，it has become a hot spot for adventure travelers．In 2006 it was voted the happiest place on Earth．The reason is not that Vanuatu are the richest but that Vanuatu has white-sand islands，clear waters，the world's most accessible live volcano，great diving and food that grows faster than it can be picked．
With a population of about 221，000，Vanuatu has 113 languages，which is a result of 3，000 years of immigration from many Pacific countries．There are three official languages：English，F(xiàn)rench，and Bislama．Bislama developed from South Pacific English，a simplified language that traders and other foreigners used it to communicate with speakers of the many local languages．

16．Parents are anxious about their children's education and should be more detached（超脫的）to allow them to develop naturally，a leading headteacher，Peter Tait，says．
Writing in Attain，the magazine of the Independent Association of Prep Schools，Mr．Tait said．"While parents are determined to do the very best for their child，they can end up doing the opposite，"He said parents need to exercise"common sense and parental nature"when it comes to raising their children．
He added，"Parents also need to have confidence in those whose job it is to look after their children's education．To do this requires a certain detachment，a willingness to trust the passage of time，focusing on whether their children are happy，challenged and purposeful and are learning the right values．If so，they will be fine"．
However，he said，some parents are changing from"sensible"and"moderate（有節(jié)制的）"people，who have faith in their schools and teachers，and are"turning into fighters ready to battle with anything and anyone on behalf of‘their'child"．"What has made some parents put their own child at the centre of the universe and never to care about the rest？"And he also blamed the obsession（強(qiáng)迫癥）over league tables for some parents'anxiety．He said，"League tables have caused too much anxiety for parents and have led to a boom in the number of tutoring agencies as parents feel they have no choice but give their children a chance"．
Mr．Tait acknowledged that being a parent has become increasingly difficult．He conclude，"While teachers may occasionally fed discouraged by over sensitive and demanding parents，they should note that this parenting lark is rather more difficult than it used to be"．

32．Why does Mr．Tait say parents should be more detached？D
A．They haven't tried their best for their children．
B．They have no common sense or parental nature．
C．It's wrong for them to care about children's education．
D．Their effort doesn't pay off．
33．What does Mr．Tail think parents should care more about？A
A．Children's mental development  B．Children's school reports．
C．Children's wide interests      D．Children's physical health．
34．Which of the following can hest replace the underlined phrase"league tables"in  Paragraph 4？C
A．Parents'obsession        B．Teachers detachment
C．Students'scores ranking  D．Faith in school and teachers
35．What's the main idea of the text？B
A．Parenting is more difficult than it was．
B．Parents should allow children lo develop naturally．
C．Teachers may feel discouraged by demanding parents．
D．Children should be put at the center of the universe．
