The best paying jobs in the United States often require successful completion of a study program at a college or university. But a new study suggests there are also millions of good jobs for people with only a high school education. Its findings were based on US government information. Financial company J. P. Morgan Chase provided money for the research.The study identified three general paths leading to a good job: a high school education, middle skills, and bachelor’s degree from a college or university. The high school path is meant for workers with a high school education. The middle-skills group included workers with more than a high school diploma, but less than a bachelor’s degree. Included in this group were people who earned an associate degree or attended classes or training in college, but did not have such a degree.The study noted that after World War II, US workers with a high school diploma or less were able to get well-paid, middle-class jobs. It said that is because there were a large number of jobs in manufacturing and other industries requiring physical labor. Most of these jobs were filled by workers with only a high school education. But over the years, manufacturing kept moving toward greater use of machines. In addition, the US and world economies went through major changes. These developments created a need for a more educated and skilled workforce.The study said that in the manufacturing-based economy of the past, about two-thirds of entry-level jobs required a high school diploma or less. Today, two-thirds of jobs require at least some education or training in addition to high school.The researchers estimated that in 1991, 15 million good jobs existed for those with a high school diploma. About 12 million good middle-skills jobs were available, while 18 million existed for people with a bachelor’s degree. By 2016, the study found the high school path led to only 13 million good jobs. Those 13 million jobs were responsible for only about 20 percent of all good jobs. The middle-skills group grew to 16 million, while the path for bachelor’s degree holders doubled to 36 million good jobs.1. What do we learn from the new findings of the research funded by J. P. Morgan Chase?A) The best paying jobs require successful completion of a bachelor degree.B) Millions of good jobs for people need only a high school education. C) Good Jobs need more than a high school diploma, but less than a bachelor’s degree.D) The higher the degree you get, the better the jobs you can have.2. According to the study, how can American people find a good job?A) They must have a bachelor’s degree.B) They need to be with a high school education or more. C) They must be equipped with excellent skills.D) They need to be highly educated and highly skilled workforce.3. Why were workers with a high school diploma able to get good jobs after WWII?A) Because they were skilled workers.B) Because a large number manufacturing industries required physical labor. C) Because there was much demand for medical care service.D) Because all the jobs didn’t require high education.4. The development of manufacturing-based economy shows ________.A) a tendency toward less use of machinesB) a need for more education or training after high school C) about two-thirds of entry-level jobs required a high school diploma or lessD) a large number of jobs in manufacturing industries requires physical labor5. What can be inferred from the passage?A) World economies went through major changes.B) Good jobs are filled by skilled workers.C) Good jobs required little education or training.D) Good jobs are more and more related to more education and training.
Many older people around the world have at least one common concern： How to get younger people， hooked on their electronic devices， interested in classic art. Take the Monkey King， or Sun Wukong， as an example. The main character in the 16th-century classic novel， Journey to the West， is a romantic figure of bravery and adventure that charmed millions of readers before the appearance of online attractions. Havoc in Heaven， a new Peking Opera film，attracted the wider public to the glamor of the traditional Chinese performance art，featuring one of the best-known chapters from Journey to the West. This film，expected to create a new channel to promote Peking Opera， includes nearly all the key ingredients of Peking Opera. It covers all the basic techniques， more than 10 classic tunes， and makeup for dozens of facial representations of different figures' characteristics. It's actually a big challenge to combine Peking Opera and film， each of which has its own rhythm， according to Cheng Lu， director of the film， who is adopting a fresh approach to present the traditional art form. One challenge that Cheng and his production team faced is how to balance the new approach with maintaining the fundamentals of the art. The basic principles and performance skills in Peking Opera cannot be changed. For example， performances in Peking Opera often emphasize symbolism over the accurate representation of motion. There are never real horses on stage， and the film reflects that. And when Sun Wukong eats peaches， he merely copies the action of eating without taking a bite. Some background images on stage， such as a painted waterfall， remain， and a live band was on the set to provide sound for the film， rather than employing the pre-recorded music. "If we change traditions to cater to people's taste and preference for a regular film， it will no longer be a Peking Opera piece of art，" Cheng said. On the other hand， some creativity was needed because Cheng and his team did not just want to document a stage performance. Computer technology is also applied to achieve some visual effects and to present impossible scenes， such as explosions or the heavenly court floating in the clouds. Also， the filming process leaves no room for actors to make the slightest mistake in front of cameras， such as those that would probably go unnoticed in an opera house. Peking Opera films played a powerful role in the 1960s and 70s， but their popularity gave way to more diverse entertainment. In recent years， there has been a recovery in the popularity of Peking Opera films. However， the overuse of special effects in many film adaptations of Peking Opera plays has weakened the original charm of the stage performances. The imagination （enabled by the stage）can never be sacrificed for a film's expression.（1）What is the purpose of the first paragraph？ ____ A. To blame young people addicted to electronic devices.B. To advertise a new Peking Opera film， Havoc in Heaven.C. To express older people's concern about the young generation.D. To arouse readers' interest in traditional Chinese performance art.（2）What did Director Cheng do while producing the film？ ____ A. He made changes to basic performance skills.B. He made use of symbols and motions equally.C. He insisted on a band playing music on the scene.D. He brought onto the stage exact details of real life.（3）What innovation did Cheng's team make？ ____ A. They opposed a rigid recording of the performance.B. They enriched visual effects with modern technology.C. They allowed actors to repeat actions before the camera.D. They adopted real explosion scenes during the shooting.（4）What can we conclude from the last paragraph？ ____ A. Imagination is a unique charm of Peking Opera films.B. Technology makes up for the loss of stage imagination.C. There is some possibility for a film to replace Peking Opera.D. The original charm of Peking Opera cannot be sacrificed for films.

question or statement.Hot pot is a traditional dish in China. It is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of the Jin Dynasty. Hot pot's origins can be found in the dining practices of Mongolian horsemen who rode across the steppe and into northern China. Legend has it that the Mongols used their helmets as pots to simmer (炖) broth (汤底) over open fires, and cooked chunks of meat in the broth.Hot pot cooking seems to have spread to northern China during the Tang Dynasty. In the regional variations developed with different ingredients such as seafood. In the centuries that witnessed the growth of the Song Dynasty, hot pot moved — and changed — further south, with each successive region adapting it to their local ingredients and tastes.The ingredients in a hot pot vary a lot from region to region. Perhaps the most famous hot pot is the Chongqing or Sichuan hot pot. It features a dark red broth chock-full (塞满了的) of spices, chili peppers, and the uniquely mouth-numbing Sichuan peppers. In Beijing and elsewhere in the north, hot pot broth tends to be mild and, compared to its racy southern "cousins", a little light. In the northeast of China, a kind of local sauerkraut (酸菜) is used to add some tang (强烈的味道), making the broth a bit sour. People can choose a version of hot pot according to their taste.1 Hot pot is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of _______.A. the Jin Dynasty B. the Tang DynastyC. the Song Dynasty D. the Yuan Dynasty

The Harry Potter series, written by J.K. Rowling, is perhaps the most popular set of novels of the modern era. With seven books and many successful films to its name, the series has gathered about 15 billion dollars in sales. How did the series become so popular? The reason can be broken down into several areas.The first book in the series was rejected 12 times before it was picked up by Bloomsbury—a small publisher in England. So receiving this contract was Rowling's first step to success. However, getting a book contract does not ensure the success of a book. The story was soon loved by children and adults alike. In light of this, Bloomsbury Publishing published a second version of the books with “adult” (less colorful and more boring) book covers. This made it easier for a full range of ages to enjoy the series.Another factor that worked like a charm was that the publisher and Rowling herself, through the books, conducted midnight releases, promotions, and pre-ordering more readers. Customers who feared that their local bookstore would run out of copies responded by pre-ordering over 700,000 copies before the July 8, 2000 release.What does the underlined word “releases” (Para. 3) mean?A. The activity that frees or expresses energy or emotion.B. The announcement about the book’s publishing information.C. The sales of books that is available only at midnight.

The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign counterparts. Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation. In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator’s role becomes that of an impersonal supplier of information and cash. In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator’s position. Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator. Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success of negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations, they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding. [共5题](1)What kind of manager is needed in present international business and foreign investment? [本题2分]A. The man who represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation. B. The man with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. C. The man who is wealthy and impersonal. D. The man who can negotiate with his foreign counterparts.
