For example, according to a report from U. N. , between 1962 and 1966 more than 50 percent of all engineering graduates of Iran and14 percent of Iranian scientists left their country for work abroad. Over 30 percent of Chilean engineers and15 percent of Turkish physicians also went to work in other countries. Probably the greatest brain drain occurred among young scientists who had gone abroad to study. Many of them had planned to return to their countries to teach but chose to remain in more industrialized nations where they were able to continue their work and their research in fields in which there were no job possibilities at home. The countries that attracted most of these scientists were the United States, Great Britain, Germany, France, Canada, and Australia.Recent studies show that the brain drain to the United States may be decreasing. Many foreign scientists are going home again, and in some cases American scientists are leaving the United States for employment in other countries. The main reasons are that good jobs are becoming fewer here, money for national research has been sharply cut, and university fellowships reduced too. However, in the field of medicine the drain to the United States still goes on. Today more than one of every five American doctors is foreign—born, and several thousand foreign doctors immigrate to the United States each year. Over eighty countries have asked the State Department to send students who are skilled in important fields such as medicine back home when their study programs are over.51.Which of the following is not the reason for ―the brain drain‖?A. Better chances of study.B. Better research conditionC. Good job possibilityD. Good housing52.The brain drain to the United States may be decreasing mainly because________.A. many foreign scientists are ordered to return to their motherlandsB. there are fewer and fewer good jobs in the USAC. they don’t need any foreign scientists nowD. the universities refuse to provide money for the foreign scientist53.How many American doctors are foreign—born?A. More than 20 percentB. About half of themC. Several thousandD. About 15 percent54. Which is the best title for this passage?A. How to seek a job in the USAB. Doctors’ immigration to the USAC. The brain drainD. A strange case.Passage 2Happy birthday! Do birthdays really make people happy? Of course they do. Birthdays celebrate the day we were born. Besides, that extra candle on the cake suggests another year of growth and maturity(成熟)－or so we hope. We all like to imagine that we’re getting wiser and not just older. Most of us enjoy seeing the miracle(奇迹) of growth in others, as well. For instance, seeing our children develop and learn new things makes us feel proud. For Americans, like people in most cultures, growing up is a wonderful process(过程). But growing old? That’s a different story.Growing old is not exactly pleasant for people in youth-oriented(以年轻人为中心) American culture. Most Americans like to look young, act young and feel young. As the old saying goes, ―You’re as young as you feel.‖ Older people joke about how many years young they are, rather than how many years old. People in some countries value the aged as a source of experience and wisdom. But Americans seem to favor those that are young, or at least ―young at heart.‖Many older Americans find the ―golden years‖ to be anything but golden. Economically, ―senior citizens‖ often struggle just to get by. Retirement(退休) at age 65 brings a sharp decrease in personal income. Social security benefits usually cannot make up the difference. Older people may suffer from poor nutrition, medical care and housing. Some even experience age discrimination. In 1987, American sociologist Pat Moore dressed up like an older person and wandered city streets. She was often treated rudely－even cheated and robbed. However, dressed as a young person, she received much more respect. Unfortunately, the elderly population in America is increasing fast. Why? People are living longer. Fewer babies are being born. And middle-aged ―baby boomers‖ are rapidly entering the groups of the elderly. America may soon be a place where wrinkles(皱纹) are ―in‖. Marketing experts are already noticing thi s growing group of consumers.55．Growing up is a wonderful thing because ___________.A．people can celebrate their birthdaysB．people can become more mature and wiserC．people can receive many presentsD．people will feel younger at heart56．We can infer from the second paragraph that ___________.A．young people lack experience and wisdomB．American older people often joke about their old ageC．American culture is very youngD．different countries have different opinions on the old age57．The underlined sentence (in Paragraph 3) means ―_______.‖A．The golden years can make the old earn lots of money and receive good medical careB．The old people in America are leading a hard life without good nutrition, medical care or housing C．The old in America have to retire at the age of 65D．American social security benefits are not good58．From the last paragraph we know that the underlined word―in‖can be replaced by _____ A．serious B．bad C．disappearing slowly D．growing fastPassaege 3What should you think about when 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 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. A 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 metalwork 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 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 apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.59．What is the passage mainly about?A．The significance of working hard at school.B．The direct and indirect value of school work.C．How to face one’s weakness.D．Choosing a career according to one’s strong points.60．According to the passage, doing a part-time job as a student ____________.A．can help afford one’s educationB．is a good way to practice the skills learnt in schoolC．can help you to prepare for future workD．is a waste of time that could have been spent on study61．From the passage we learn that if a student’s school performance is not good, he _______.A．should pay more attention to learning skills and developing abilitiesB．will be regretful about his bad resultsC．may also do well in his future workD．should restart his study in school62．The underlined phrase ―be all thumbs‖ (in Paragraph 3) probably means ―_________‖.A．be clumsy at doing thingsB．be skillful in doing thingsC．do not have interest in certain thingsD．be easily bored in doing thingsSection BDirections: Match the Chinese sentences in the left column with the English in the right column.
