[7]“The environment there is ideal for starting a business, could be the taxes there are low, and employers are getting a lot of benefits from the state government.”But Tapaskar says one thing that could bring new immigrants to Chicago is increasing the number of work visas that would attract the highly skilled tech workers his business needs.5.What is the problem for the technology companies in Chicago?A) Getting high skilled people.B) Promoting company’s technology.C) Finding enough employees.D) Increasing members of immigrants.6.

The U.S. Senate Finance Committee is seeking tax return information on top U.S. oil companies from the Internal Revenue Service and some politicians are calling for a windfall profits tax. Pf course, oil companies oppose such a move, citing similar or even higher profit increases in other industries, such as real estate, that have not caused controversy.

This next generation of retirees will be the healthiest, best educated, and most wealthy in American history.[1]But many of them won’t have a retirement benefit their parents’generation fought hard to get. It is something known as a defined-benefit plan, or “pension”. Retired workers who have a pension continue to be paid a certain percentage of their highest annual salary-usually anywhere from one to three percent-multiplied by the number of years they worked for the company. Pensions first became popular during World War Ⅱ, when a federally-approved wage-freeze meant unions had to negotiate for retirement benefits, instead of pay increases.[2]Pensions reached the height of their popularity in the late 1970s, when more than 60 percent of Americans had one.1.What problem does the next generation of retirees have?A) Their health becomes worse.B) They don’t fight as hard as before.C) They won’t get the benefit of pension.D) They receive less education.2.

Mine companies operate in 27 states, from West Virginia in the east to Montana in the west, producing a total of about one billion tons a year, or more than a third of the world’s coal supply. The U.S. economy is dependent on coal production. Coal-fired power pla nts generate about 50 percent of the nation’s electricity. More than half the nation’s coal is mined underground by thousands of men and women who daily risk injury and death. [4]But the occupation has become much safer since the late 1960s, when the U.S. Congress passed laws requiring federal mine inspetions.3.What do we learn about the recent explosion at a coal mine?A) Nobody was injured in it.B) It was caused by an error.C) It killed 27 miners.D) It affected national electricity supply.4.

Maybe that’s why U.S. News & World Report has added a Fast Weight-Loss Diet category to its annual rankings of best diet plans.And one of the diets that comes out on top is the Health Management Resources (HMR) program.[5]HMR is a meal replacement diet that can be done on your own at home or under medical supervision. Instead of made-at-home meals, dieters can order low-calorie milk, soups, nutrition bars and multigrain cereal.The U.S. News reviewers say [6]the plus side to the HMR diet is its quick-start option and the convenience of having meals delivered to you. The down side is “the milk lacks variety,” and it’s tough to eat out while on this diet.[7] “A common misunderstanding is that losing weight quickly is not healthy, not sustainable, and will just lead to future weight re-gain,” wrote Carol Addy, the chief medical officer at HMR, in a release. But she says, to the contrary, “nu merous studies demonstrate that following a lifestyle change program which promotes fast initial weight loss can result in better long-term success.”5. What is the HMR program?A) An express company that delivers food.B) A meal replacement diet.C) A report on fast weight-loss diet category.D) An annual ranking of best diet plans.6. What is the advantage of HMR program?A) The food is made by medical workers.B) The food is healthier than made-at-home meal.C) The food is delivered to dieters directly.D) Dieters can order a variety of food.7. What’s the common misunderstanding about losing weight fast?A) It is tough to achieve.B) It may change our lifestyle.C) It is unhealthy and unsustainable.D) It can lead to future diseases.Test 5 News Report 1Questions 1 and 2 will be based on the following news item.Two months ago, Zogby International, a Wahington-based research organization, conducted a public opinion poll in six Arab countries:Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. The respondents, randomly chosen from different neighborhoods in various cities of each country, [1]were asked to give their opinion on a number of issues, including concerns facing their country and their personal life, economic development, employment opportunities and the likelihood of peace in the Middle East．[2]Overall, respondents expressed more satisfaction with their lives and more optimism about their future than they did in the pollconducted ten years ago. In Lebanon，both satisfaction and optimism have doubled．This is not surprising, says James Rauch, a professor at the University of California. “The Lebanese have experienced an enormous change now with the end of the Syrian occupation. They would have good reasons to be optimistic.”1.What were the respondents asked to comment on?A) Their personal life.B) Educational opportunities.C) Political development.D) Their views on international issues.2. What do we learn about the result of the poll?A) In Morocco, both satisfaction and optimism have doubled.B) Optimism grows generally in the Arab world in recent years.C) Many Arab countries have improved the income of their citizens.D) There is an acceleration of the economic growth in the Arab world.Test 5 News Report 2Questions 3 and 4 will be based on the following news item.[3] In October the Ugandan opposition leader, KizzaBasigye, returned to Kampala to prepare for the presidential elections next year.

[4]The incident is threatening to darken the country’s first multi-party elections in two decades.

[5]The year was hot and annoyed by all manner of extreme weather events that did a lot of expensive damage.December, in fact, was a fitting end.“This is the first time in our 121-year period of record that amonth has been both the wettest and the warmest month on record,” says Jake Crouch, a weather researcher. The rest of the year was very wet and hot too, he says-the second-hottest period on record for the US.[6]The cause: a warming climate and a super strong El Nino. El Nino is a weather phenomenon out of the ocean that hits every few years and affects weather globally.Together, climate and a very strong El Nino pushed the weather in the US, as warm as its 20th century average.And even when the atmosphere is only that much warmer, it holds more moisture, [7]leading to record snows in the Northeast last February and March, and record rain in the South and Midwest.5.

There is much to do before the museum is actually built. An architect must be chosen, the collection must be assembled, and half the museum’s $300-$500 million price tag must be provided from private donors. Lonnie Bunch, the director, of the new museum, says the museum really desires to create an opportunity for millions of Americans to engage in and understand African American history.1.

Thai officials have identified 80 Burmese migrant workers among the dead.[3]But they believe several of the more than 800 unidentified bodies are likely to be Burmese.Thousands of Burmese migrant workers are employed along Thailand’s Andaman Sea coast-a source of cheap labor for contractors who often overlook the need to register the workers.

That’s why scientists and researchers all over the world also are working on new ways of keeping carbon out of the atmosphere.[6]At an industrial site in Alberta, a province in North America. Royal Dutch Shell, an oil company, recently hosted a grand opening for its Quest carbon capture and storage project.It’s part of Shell’s oil sands business. Turning oil sands into crude oil emits a lot of carbon dioxide. So Shell tries to capture some of that greenhouse gas before it gets into the air.The technology in the quest project has been around for a while, but it’s still expensive: The cost of building and operating this one plant over the next decade is about $970 million. For all that money, it captures only a third of the CO2 that’s produc ed here.[7]For many companies, such a plant isn’t an attractiveinvestment because it’s not profitable.5.
