Ⅲ.阅读理解(共8小题；每小题2分，满分16分)
A
What should you think about in trying to find your career？You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand，you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job，they may have indirect value. Knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.
Your school may have taught you skills，such as typing or technical drawing，which you can use in your work. You may be good at metal work or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills.
If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer，think what you gained from it.If nothing else，you may have learned how to get to work on time，to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop，for example. Just as important，you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.
Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs(笨拙) when you handle tools；perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is better to face any weakness than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record，for instance，may not be too good，yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be sorry for it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.
31．The writer thinks that for a student to have a part-time job is probably ________.
A．a waste of time that could have been spent on study
B．useful for his future work
C．the only way to earn extra money
D．a good way to find out his weak points
答案　B　[推理判断题。文章第三段一、二两句隐含了“要想挣点钱你可以打零工。即使挣不到钱，也能学到一些工作技巧和与其他员工相处等方面的经验。”C项太绝对，本文主题就是学习一些技巧，为了将来找到较好的工作，不是为了钱。B项与作者观点吻合。]
32．According to the passage，if a student's school record is not good，he ________.
A．will be a complete failure in his future work
B．may not find a suitable job
C．will regret not having worked harder at school
D．may do well in his future work
答案　D　[综合理解题。最后一段说明“你的学习成绩可能不好，你要正视，不要懊丧，要在工作中重新学习”。这意味着学习成绩差不一定干不好工作，重新开始、努力工作，可以有所成就。故选D。]
33．Which subject is supposed to have no direct value for jobhunting according to the
author？
A．Mathematics. 　B．English.　　C．Technical Drawing. 　D．History.
答案　D　[细节理解题。从第一段倒数一、二两句得知。]
34．The whole passage is mainly on ________.
A．choosing a career according to what one is skilled in
B．acquiring knowledge by working hard at school
C．finding one's strong and weak points
D．developing one's abilities useful in school work
答案　A　[主旨大意题。全文讲的是学习成绩、工作技巧与将来工作的关系。在学校学得好对求职、择业和工作大有益处。找工作也要根据自己的技巧、强项去找合适的工作。C项没有提及求职，不符合。]
B
The ongoing rise in housing prices in 70 large­and­mediumsized Chinese cities indicates we are yet to find effective policies for reining in runaway housing prices.
Prices rose by an average of 5.3 percent year­on­year in April，according to the National Development and Reform Commission.
Although this rate may not seem overly high，it is part of a strong and continued rises in housing prices over the past months.What is alarming is that in some big cities，such as Beijing，Shenzhen and Nanjing，the monthly growth was as high as 10 percent.
Beijing，with a year­on­year growth rate of 10.7 percent，has been leading the nation since last June with price increases hovering around 10 percent.
The government，prompted by the worried public，has taken a series of measures since the market started warming up four or five years ago.
Admittedly，there are sound reasons for the continued strong price rise.
The soaring demand is a result of the country's scrapping its traditional national housing program，which has driven people to the commercial market，and growing urbanization，which has seen millions of people move to cities. And with a booming economy and few investment options，housing continues to attract investment.
There are obvious signs of speculation in the market.
A large number of investors are believed to be hoarding housing to profit from future price increases. They have distorted market supply and demand to push up prices.
The failure to devise proper policies to control speculation is one of the crucial factors behind the ever rising prices.
The government，in the long run，can stabilize the property market through balancing regional development. It can divert demand to other cities around regional centers.
In the short term，the speculative bubbles must be deflated so that supply and demand can reflect reality.
The Shanghai authorities reportedly decided over the weekend to levy a 20 percent tax on the sale of previously owned homes. Although the local tax authorities did not verify the news，it triggered an earthquake in the local market. People are rushing to sell their houses before tax measures are put in place.
Policy makers need to closely monitor the market reaction and study the pros and cons of a tax on the sale of previously owned housing as a way to stabilize the red-hot market.
35．As for the year­on­year growth rate of housing prices，which city takes the lead？
A．Shanghai. 　　B．Beijing.　 　　C．Shenzhen. 　 D．Nanjing.
答案　B　[细节理解题。由文中第四段可知。]
36．The underlined word in the passage can be replaced by ________.
A．caused 　　B．struck　　　C．invented 　D．discovered
答案　A　[猜测词义题。依据上下文可知“triggered”意思为“引发”。]
37．Which of the following is not the reason for housing prices rising？
A．Removing traditional national housing program.
B．Increasing urbanization.
C．Speculation.
D．Having lots of investment options.
答案　D　[细节理解题。由“And with a booming economy and few investment options，housing continues to attract investment.”可知。]
38．According to the passage，which of the following is true？
A．The runaway housing prices have been controlled.
B．The housing market began warming up a year ago.
C．All people are satisfied with the government's decision of a tax on the sale of
previously owned housing.
D．The government has taken some measures to solve the soaring housing prices.
答案　D　[细节理解题。由文中第五段可知。]
