Over the past decade， the growth in high-skilled jobs has largely been limited to Australia's biggest cities． Meanwhile， in rural and regional Australia lower-skilled jobs have been growing fastest． This skills gap is increasing regional differences in income and employment opportunities， despite the promises of technology and infrastructure as solutions to the tyranny of remoteness．Our research finds that jobs， particularly the highly skilled， white-collar kind， are becoming increasingly collaborative （协作的）． Complex tasks and rapidly changing work environments have increased the need for workers who can collaborate with others to solve problems and who are open to continuous learning． Roles for highly skilled workers are becoming more specialized． This specialization means more collaboration with other specialists and greater space for market positioning．The productive advantages of cities are self-reinforcing． Skilled workers benefit from the opportunity to learn from and add value with other skilled workers． The coordination （协调） costs of this collaborative work are reduced when team members are co-located．Employers also benefit from proximity （接近） to similar firms because there is a larger pool of skilled candidates for new jobs and better access to potential business partners． All these advantages encourage further specialization and productivity gains， with the result that workers and business continue to concentrate around large city centers．The growing skills divide between urban and rural Australia reflects a paradox（悖论）of thedigital economy．While digital technology represents a channel for bridging geographic distance， highly skilled workers are increasingly crowding into cities．The latest census （人口普查） data shows no change in the rate of working from home， despite much-improved digital infrastructure in some areas． In time this may change， perhaps as video conferencing technology improves． However， while better technology might allow regional workers to interact with colleagues and clients in cities， it will also make it easier for city-based professionals to service regional areas．Employment is still growing in regional Australia． But the fact that cities make highly skilled workers more productive means the gap in skilled employment is likely to continue to widen．Attempts to swim against this tide by moving skilled jobs to the country will be expensive． Currently， subsidies （补助金） are needed to attract and retain （保留） highly skilled health professionals to regional communities． Despite this， our analysis of the latest census data shows that the skills gap between regions and cities is still growing．So these subsidies are not translating into sustainable， collaborative communities of high-skilled regional workers． Instead， regions need to focus on their strengths， and foster the entrepreneurship that can create new sources of gainful employment．The government's move towards more individualised funding arrangements in the aged care and disability care sectors will increasingly become a resilient （有弹性的） source of income for workers and businesses in regional communities． Demand for aged care services is expected to increase dramatically in the coming decades， such that by 2050 some 3.5 million Australians will require aged care． Adding to this， regional communities are experiencing population ageing at a faster rate than the large capital cities．These are important jobs which should be recognised as such． There will be opportunities for regional businesses to provide the technology and services （ranging from personalised transport to food services） which allow older people and Australians with disability to remain active and healthy．Currently people from the regions who are eager for professional careers typically move to the city to study． In many cases they do not return． Here， technology may be part of the solution． Combining specialised online educational resources with good local support teachers could enable students to access a much wider range of courses from regional areas．Regional communities will also need entrepreneurs （企业家） to develop the future industries and micro-businesses which improve the diversity and resilience of the local economy． However， start-ups and existing businesses are more likely to survive and expand when there is a supportive entrepreneurship ecosystem， including access to relevant skills development opportunities．65． What is the remarkable characteristic of the high-skilled job？ ____ A． Collaboration．B． Complexity．C． Organization．D． Sustainability．66． Workers and business continue to concentrate around large city centers in that ____ ．A． highly skilled workers increase the coordination costsB． potential business partners live close to large city centersC． they encourage self-dependence and increase differencesD． they benefit from specialization and productive advantages67． What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 mean？ ____ A． Digital infrastructure in some areas have been greatly improved．B． The lower-skilled workers are likely to have a considerable income．C． Digital technology doesn't necessarily bridge the gap in skilled employment．D． The government will have more support and preferential policies for business．68． The author mentions "aged care services" to indicate that ____ ．A． they lack proper managementB． they can bring new jobs to regionsC． they focus on their technical strengthsD． they help regions' funding arrangements69． What is the key message of the last paragraph？ ____ A． Combining online resources with local support teachers is a good way．B． Entrepreneurs can improve the diversity to develop their own industries．C． Regional communities supply sufficient subsidies to pay skilled workers．D． Supportive entrepreneurship ecosystems play a crucial role in regional areas．70． What does the passage mainly talk about？ ____ A． Low-skilled jobs have been growing fast in regional Australia．B． Regional Australia is committed to the development of local economy．C． The skill jobs gap is increasing between cities and regions in Australia．D． Highly skilled workers crowd into cities to pursue career development．

READING PASSAGE 2 You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 1-13, which are based on Reading Passage 2 below.T H E FA L K IR K W H E E LA unique engineering achievementThe Falkirk Wheel in Scotland is the world's first and only rotating boat lift. Opened in 2002, it is central to the ambitious £84.5m Millennium Link project to restore navigability across Scotland by reconnecting the historic waterways of the Forth & Clyde and Union Canals.The major challenge of the project lay in the fact that the Forth & Clyde Canal is situated 35 metres below the level of the Union Canal. Historically, the two canals had been joined near the town of Falkirk by a sequence of 11 locks - enclosed sections of canal in which the water level could be raised or Iowered - that stepped down across a distance of 1.5 km. This had been dismantled in 1933, thereby breaking the link. When the project was launched in 1994, the British Waterways authority were keen to create a dramatic twenty-first century landmark which would not only be a fitting commemoration of the Millennium, but also a lasting symbol of the economic regeneration of the region.Numerous ideas were submitted for the project, including concepts ranging fromrolling eggs to tilting tanks, from giant seesaws to overhead monorails. The eventual winner was a plan for the huge rotating steel boat lift which was to become The Falkirk Wheel. The unique shape of the structure is claimed to have been inspired by various sources, both manmade and natural, most notably a Celtic double-headed axe, but also the vast turning propeller of a ship, the ribcage of a whale or the spine of a fish.The various parts of The Falkirk Wheel were all constructed and assembled, like one giant toy building set, at Butterley Engineering's Steelworks in Derbyshire, some 400 km from Falkirk. A team there carefully assembled the 1, 200 tonnes of steel, painstakingly fitting the pieces together to an accuracy of just 10 mm to ensure a perfect final fit. In the summer of 2001, the structure was then dismantled and transported on 35 lorries to Falkirk, before all being bolted back together again on the ground, and finally lifted into position in five large sections by crane. The Wheel would need to withstand immense and constantly changing stresses as it rotated, so to make the structure more robust, the steel sections were bolted rather than welded together. Over 45, 000 bolt holes were matched with their bolts, and each bolt was hand-tightened.The Wheel consists of two sets of opposing axe-shaped arms, attached about 25 metres apart to a fixed central spine. Two diametrically opposed water-filled "gondolas", each with a capacity of 360, 000 litres, are fitted between the ends of thearms. These gondolas always weigh the same, whether or not they are carrying boats. This is because, according to Archimedes' principle of displacement, floating objects displace their own weight in water. So when a boat enters a gondola, the amount of water leaving the gondola weighs exactly the same as the boat. This keeps the Wheel balanced and so, despite its enormous mass, it rotates through 180。in five and a half minutes while using very little power. It takes just 1.5 kilowatt-hours (5.4 MJ) of energy to rotate the Wheel-roughly the same as boiling eight small domestic kettles of water.Boats needing to be lifted up enter the canal basin at the level of the Forth & Clyde Canal and then enter the lower gondola of the Wheel. Two hydraulic steel gates are raised, so as to seal the gondola off from the water in the canal basin. The water between the gates is then pumped out. A hydraulic clamp, which prevents the arms of the Wheel moving while the gondola is docked, is removed, allowing the Wheel to turn. In the central machine room an array of ten hydraulic motors then begins to rotate the central axle. The axle connects to the outer arms of the Wheel, which begin to rotate at a speed of 1/8 of a revolution per minute. As the wheel rotates, the gondolas are kept in the upright position by a simple gearing system. Two eight-metre-wide cogs orbit a fixed inner cog of the same width, connected by two smaller cogs travelling in the opposite direction to the outer cogs-so ensuring that the gondolas always remain level. When the gondola reaches the top, the boat passes straight onto the aqueduct situated 24 metres above the canal basin.The remaining 11 metres of lift needed to reach the Union Canal is achieved by means of a pair of locks. The Wheel could not be constructed to elevate boats over the full 35-metre difference between the two canals, owing to the presence of the historically important Antonine Wall, which was built by the Romans in the second century AD. Boats travel under this wall via a tunnel, then through the locks, and finally on to the Union Canal.Do the following statements agree with the information given in Reading Passage 2? In boxes 1-6 on your answer sheet, writeTRUE if the statement agrees with the informationFALSE if the statement contradicts the informationNOT GIVEN if there is no information on this1.The Falkirk Wheel has linked the Forth & Clyde Canal with the Union Canal for the first time in their history.2.There was some opposition to the design of the Falkirk Wheel at first.3.The Falkirk Wheel was initially put together at the location where its components were manufactured.4.The Falkirk Wheel is the only boat lift in the world which has steel sections bolted together by hand.5.The weight of the gondolas varies according to the size of boat being carried.6.The construction of the Falkirk Wheel site took into account the presence of a nearby ancient monument.Label the diagram below.Choose ONE WORD from the passage for each answer.Write your answers in boxes 7-13 on your answer sheet.How a boat is lifted on the Falkirk WheelA pair of 7 are lifted in order to-|||-shut out water from canal basin-|||-A 8 _is taken out,enabling Wheel to rotate-|||- 13 -|||-raise boat 11 m Hydraulic motors drive 9 -|||-to level of Union-|||-Canal-|||-Boat is raised,-|||-floating in one-|||-Boat travels ) of Wheel's two-|||-through tunnel gondolas-|||-beneath Roman-|||- 12 -|||-Boat reaches top Wheel,then A range of different-sized 10 -|||-moves directly onto 11 ensures boat keeps upright

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.

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
