As society advances and basic needs are most often being met, things that were not considered important in the past have taken priority(优先). In the past, people could easily get a job and progress pretty well, as long as they were hard-working; education was important but not as crucial(关系重大) as it is today.
Nowadays, just as clothes are important to first impressions, degree is important to a person’s first job interview or even a job with a good salary. Although experience is important to survive in any trade or profession, the first thing that companies look for is that piece of paper before looking at one’s experience.
A passport into the world of any profession is what having a degree means today, especially for professions that have need of certification and pay well, such as architects, doctors, lawyers, and teachers.
That piece of paper, the degree, is also a passport to jobs in top or middle management in any company, especially so for multi-national corporations(跨国公司). Having a degree opens up opportunities that one would not have had if one did not have any kind of degree. A degree simply proves that one has gone through the necessary training and understanding of how to carry out a job.
Although there are many that may say having a degree may not necessarily equal to success, it would most definitely help any person achieve success in shorter and easier steps. Success cannot simply be a result of hard work and/or depending on one’s experience or degree alone; it is the art and knowledge of how to work that determines one’s success. Therefore, it should not be for the sake to get a degree, but the quality of the degree and experiences that one can learn from that matter as well.
1. What would be the best title for this passage?
A. People used to be hard-working
B. How important is the degree?
C. How can we enter the top management?
D. Degree surely leads to success
2.Why does the author mention clothes in the second paragraph?
A. To prove the importance of the first impression.
B. To stress the importance of job interviews.
C. To show the importance of clothes.
D. To explain the importance of degree.
3.What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Having a degree
B. Success
C. Necessary training
D. Having an opportunity

There is much discussion today about whether economic growth is desirable. At an earl
ier period, our desire for material wealth may have been justified. Now, however, this desire for more than we need is causing serous problems. Even though we have good intentions, we may be producing too much, too fast.
Those who criticize economic growth argue that we must slow down. They believe that society is approaching certain limits on growth. These include the fixed supply of natural resources, the possible negative eff
ects of industry on the natural environment, and the continuing increase in the world’s population. As society reaches these limits, economic growth can no longer continue, and the quality of life will decrease.
People who want more economic growth, on the other hand, argue that even at the present growth rate there are still many poor people in the world. They believe that only more growth can create the capital needed to improve the quality of life in the world. Furthermore, they argu
e that only continued growth can provide the financial resources required to protect our natural surroundings from industrialization.
This debate over the desirability of continued economic growth is of vital importance to business and industry.

To find a solution, economists and the business community must pay attention to these problems and continue discussing them with one another.

Women love shoes! They will sometimes go to look for the perfect pair of shoes to wear only once with the perfect outfit or the fashion of the day. Once worn, these fashionable designer shoes may spend weeks, months, or years in the closet without being worn again until another special occasion comes up. With that said, are expensive designer shoes really worth their cost?
Historically, shoes were invented to free feet from sharp rocks, hot sands, and blisters. Shoes were made to be simple and functional, with tough leather soles and straps. As society became more sophisticated (复杂的), the role of shoes changed; shoes were made to add status to the wearer.
Shoe designers began to work on the production of fashion shoes for the wealthy; shoes meant more for show than for practical use or simplicity. Good shoemakers became well known and printed symbols on their shoes, so people could recognize the maker of that particular design. Designer shoes were thus born.
Many women develop serious problems with their feet after wearing these designer shoes during the workday and the medical costs for dealing with these problems can get very high. Some popular makers of designer shoes have been working towards combining comfort and practical use into their shoes, but it has been noted that women still go for style, beauty and uniqueness above everything else.
So to answer the question as to whether or not designer shoes are worth the cost, the answer is certainly yes, but be smart and invest in a pair of comfortable, not so stylish shoes for the days when you stay outdoors for hours! They can also be very expensive, but I can surely say that they are worth the cost.
1.When shoes were first made, their main use was to _________.

A．women like to wear designer shoes only during the workday

科目：高中英语 来源：2011-2012学年广东省高三上学期10月月考英语试题 题型：阅读理解
There are many older people in the world and there will be many more. A little-known fact is that over 60 percent of the older people live in developing countries. According to the World Health Organization, by 2020 there will be 1 billion, with over 700 million living in developing countries.
It is a surprising fact that the population ageing is particularly rapid in developing countries. For example, it took France 115 years for the rate of older people to double from 7 percent to 14 percent. It is estimated to take China a mere 27 years to achieve this same increase.
What are the implications of these increased numbers of older folk? One of the biggest worries for governments is that the longer people live, the more likelihood there is for diseases and for disability. Attention is being paid to the need to keep people as healthy as possible, including during old age, to lessen the financial burden on the state.
Another significant problem is the need for the younger generations to understand and value the older people in their society. In some African countries, certainly in Asia, older people are respected and regarded as the ones with special knowledge. Yet traditions are fading away daily, which does not make sure the continued high regard of older people. As society changes, attitudes will change.
Much needs to be done to get rid of age discrimination in employment. Life-long learning programs need to be provided to enable older people to be active members in a country's development.
Social security policies need to be established to provide adequate income protection for older people. Both public and private schemes are vital in order to build a suitable safety net.
1.The rate of older people________.
|
A．is bigger in developed countries than in developing countries |
|
B．is one-seventh of the population in developing countries |
|
C．will increase much faster in China than in France |
|
D．will be sixty percent in developing countries by 2020 |
2.According to passage, which of the following are governments most worried about
|
A．Thediseasesanddisabilityofolderpeople. |
|
B．Thelongerlifeandgoodhealthofpeople. |
|
C．Thelossoftaxesonolderpeople. |
|
D．Theincreasingrespectforolderpeople. |
3. It is stated directly in the passage that older people should ________.
|
A．be treated differently in different cultures |
|
B．enjoy a similar lifestyle |
|
C．be ignored as society changes |
|
D．be valued by the yonger generations |
4.Which of the following measure is NOT mentioned to solve the population ageing problem?
|
A．Getting rid of age discrimination in employment. |
|
B．Supplying life-long learning programs to older people. |
|
C．Making sure adequate income protection for older people. |
|
D．Providing free health care for sick older people. |
5.The author concludes in the last paragraph that ________.
|
A．governments have spent lots of time in solving the ageing problem |
|
B．population ageing is a hard problem, but it needs to be solved urgently |
|
C．people are too busy to solve the population ageing problem |
|
D．much time and effort will be lost in solving the ageing problem |
