C

One of the most difficult questions to answer is how much a job is worth. We naturally expect that a doctor’s salary will be higher than a bus conductor’s wages. But the question becomes much more difficult to answer when we compare a miner with an engineer, or an unskilled man working on an oil-rig(钻探平台)with a teacher in a secondary school. What the doctor, the engineer and the teacher have in common is that they have devoted several years to studying in order to obtain the necessary qualifications for their professions. We feel instinctively that these skills and these years should be rewarded. At the same time we recognize that the work of the miner and the oil-rig laborer is both hard and dangerous, and that they must be highly paid for the risks they take.

Another aspect we must take into consideration is how socially useful a man’s work is. Most people would agree that looking after the sick or teaching children is more important than, say, selling second-hand cars. Yet it is almost certain that the used-car salesman earns more than the nurse and the schoolteacher.

Indeed, this whole question of just rewards can be turned on its head. You can argue that a man who does a job which brings him personal satisfaction is already receiving part of his reward in the form of a so-called “psychic(精神的)wage”, and that it is the man with the boring, repetitive job who needs more money to make up for the soul-destroying repetitiveness of his work. It is significant that the jobs like nursing and teaching continue to be poorly paid, while others, such as those in the world of sport or entertainment, carry financial rewards out of all proportion to their social worth.

Although the amount of money that people earn is largely determined by market forces, this should not prevent us from seeking some way to decide what is the right pay for the job. A starting point would be to try to decide the ratio(比率)which ought to exist between the highest and the lowest paid. The picture is made more complicated by two factors: firstly by the welfare benefits which every citizen receives, and secondly by the taxation system which is often used as an instrument of social justice by taxing high incomes at a very high rate indeed. Most countries now regard a ratio of 7:1 as socially acceptable. If it is less, the highly-qualified people carrying heavy responsibilities will become disappointed, and might even end up by leaving for another country. If it is more, the difference between rich and poor will be so great that it will lead to social unrest.

64. Why do people naturally expect that doctors should be well-paid?

A. Their work requires greater intelligence.

B. They are under constant pressure at work.

C. They work harder than most other people.

D. They have studied for years to get qualified.

65. In Paragraph 2 and 3, the author indicates that __________.

A. the talented should do more important work

B. unskilled jobs have less social responsibility

C. those with more socially useful jobs earn less

D. people want to pay more to important services

66. Which of the following statements would the author agree?

A. It’s difficult to define the social value of a job.

B. The market will decide what the right pay is for a job.

C. People should find a proper ratio between high and low pay.

D. Those receiving high salary should carry heavy responsibilities.

D

Crowd controls could soon become an important skill for climbers on Mount Everest, as important as physical strength or watching the weather. In a single day last week, nearly 40 people reached the top of the world --- a record. Reports from base camp spoke of queues at dangerous ridges and crowds as people passed each other in the final dash for the 8, 848 meters top.

More traditional mountaineers tease about the circus atmosphere surrounding Everest in re¬cent years, and there are warnings that the crowds are making the mountain more dangerous. In 1996, 14 died on the mountain when the members of several groups were trapped at high altitudes by sudden snowstorms. Bad weather in early May led to this year’s jam on the summit ridge, but the loss, luckily, was light. Just four climbers died, in¬cluding a Nepali Sherpa who had made 11 previous successful climbing.

Traditionalists are also worried about the growing tendency of climbers to set records and achieve “firsts”, rather than simply climb the mountain. This year’s crop of mountaineers included the oldest man, 64-year-old Sherman Bull from Connecticut, and the youngest, 16-year-old Temba Tsheri Sherpa of Nepal. An American with only one arm was on the mountain this year; an Indian with no legs also tried but failed. Erik Weihennieyer, an Ameri¬can, became the first blind person to reach the top of the world. His fellow climbers stayed in front of him on the way up, describing the type of land and ringing bells.

Nepal(尼泊尔)views Mount Everest as something of a cash cow. The government charges journeys a minimum of $ 70,000. That is probably why officials in Katmandu are ignoring concerns about overcrowding and talking about even more climbers coming next year. But a celebration of the 48th anniversary of the first conquest of Everest, by Sir Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay, was cancelled after violent strikes. Tumultuous(动乱的)Nepali politics, it seems, could be just the crowd-control mea¬sure that Everest needs.

67.  What is the problem that the climbers have to face in recent years?

A. Bad Weather.  B. Technology.  C. Overcrowding.  D. Physical strength.

68. What is the main idea of the second paragraph?

A. The risks of mountain climbing.

B. The consequence of overcrowding.

C. The challenge that climbers have to face.

D. The damage that snowstorms have caused.

69. Several climbers are mentioned in Paragraph 3 to show ______.

A. their great courage      B. their common motivation

C. their different identity     D. their outstanding achievements

70. What is the attitude of the Nepali government towards overcrowding?

A. Unconcerned.  B. Doubtful.   C. Disapproving.   D. Worried.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Using a Mobile Phone to Improve Mother and Child Health

People around the world are working to expand the uses for mobile technology in health care.

In the world, there are six billion mobile phone users in a population of seven billion people.

71      Africa has widespread adoption. Three or four years ago the penetration rates were 20 percent or 30 percent, and now they’re getting upwards of 60 percent in some countries.

72      Earlier research has been to look at mobile technologies and HIV and AIDS. And so we have some great evidence on the effectiveness of mobiles.

During the first week of December, 2012, more than 4,000 people from 50 countries met for the fourth annual mHealth Summit. It brought together experts from what the organizers call the mHealth ecosystem.

In 2011 Secretary of State Hillary Clinton started a public/private partnership called the Mobile Alliance for Maternal Action, or MAMA. There are about 800 women a day and about three million babies a year die from pregnancy and childbirth-related causes.      73      The messages cover pregnancy and the first year of a baby’s life. These health messages may also be sent to a pregnant woman’s husband and mother-in-law.     74

Messages can be text or voicemail. You can have a pregnant woman in Bangladesh registered into a system that provides messages that help her know what to do and when to do certain things.

Simple text messages can be important sources of information to people without Internet

access.      75      They have to be able to read through thousands of entries that come back to them on Google, for example, and then figure out what that information means to them. And that’s not something that someone in a poor and uneducated kind of situation can do.

A. They have no access to the relevant information.

B. That way they too can understand what needs to be done.

C. Millions of messages about baby care are received every day.

D. A lot of work has been done to use mobile technology for health.

E. And the most rapidly growing markets are those in developing countries.

F. The program sends messages to women to educate them about their health.

G. Besides, online users may sometimes not understand all the information available.

四、One possible version:

The 9th China International Garden Expo is opening soon. We are very excited because it will be held in Fengtai District, the place where we live and study. All of my classmates agree that we should do something for it. So last Sunday morning we came to some busy streets and sent to the passersby colorful brochures introducing the Expo. Then we went to the spot where free car stickers were handed out. We helped the drivers put the stickers on their cars, hoping the concept of green lifestyle will spread as those cars run around the city.

In the afternoon, we came to the Garden Expo park to plant trees. Some of us dug holes. Some planted young trees and others watered them. Seeing the lines of trees, we had a wonderful sense of achievement. When walking around the park, we were attracted by its beauty and some of us couldn’t help taking part in a contest, drawing the Garden Expo in their minds.

It was a busy and tiring day, but all of us felt really happy and proud to make our contributions to the Garden Expo.
