While many nations have aging populations, Japans demographic crisis is truly dire, with
forecasts showing that 40 percent of the population will have been 65 and over in 2055.【M1】______ Some of the consequences have been long foreseen, like deflation: as more Japanese retire and live off their savings, they spend more, further depressing Japans anemic levels of domestic【M2】______ consumption. So a less anticipated outcome has been the【M3】______ appearance of generational inequalities. These disparities manifest itself in many ways. There are【M4】______ corporations that hire all too many young people for low-paying jobs—in effect, forcing them to shoulder the costs of preserving cushier jobs to older employees. Others point to【M5】______ an underfinanced pension system so skewed in the favor of【M6】______ older Japanese that many younger workers simply refuse to pay; a "silver democracy" that spends far more on the elderly than education and child care—an issue that is familiar to【M7】______ Americans; and outdated hiring practices that have created a new "lost generation" of disenfranchised youths. Nagisa Inoue, a senior at Tokyos Meiji University, said she was considering paying for a fifth year at her university rather than graduate without a job, an outcome that in Japans rigid【M8】______ job market might permanently taint her chances of ever getting a higher-paying corporate job. That is why Japanese【M9】______ companies, even when they do offer stable, regular jobs, prefer to give them only to new graduates, which are seen as the【M10】______ more malleable candidates for molding into Japans corporate culture.

第3题

听力原文： Companies often give work to an outside business that can do the job for less mo
ney than their own employees could. This is called outsourcing. Outsourcing has become a political issue in the campaign for the American presidential election in November.

Many companies in the United States have been moving jobs to countries where costs are much lower. Factory production jobs have moved away for years. But the jobs now also involve skills like computer programming.

Labor groups and workers are angry. They point to reports that say the United States has lost two-and-a-half million jobs since two-thousand-one. Most were jobs in manufacturing. Some states have lost more jobs than others. But no one seems to know for sure how many jobs left the country.

There was a recession. Jobs were cut. Yet, so far, the economic recovery has produced fewer jobs than expected. So outsourcing has created an emotional debate.

What's the purpose of outsourcing？

A．Recruiting new staff.

B．Producing quality products.

C．Increasing productivity.

D．Save money and labor cost.

第4题

The “war for talent” reads like headlines from many years ago, but it has never gone away says Eleanor Nickerson,

director of UK operations for Top Employers. Many companies they have researched are short of talents. Though the companies may receive many applications, they can not find the people they want.

Top Employers’ research show that offering good career chances is the key to attracting and keeping the talent. Smart employees know their own value and will want to know what their employers can offer them after five or 10 years’ career development. So, keeping staff is the biggest challenge employers face in the long run.

Yet not every employee feels that they can better their career chances. Some are still nervous about losing their jobs, despite a recent fall in unemployment, says the Trades Union Congress (TUC). TUC points out that some four-fifths of new jobs created have been in parts of the economy where average pay rates are less than £8 an hour since the recession began. Many of these jobs are on temporary or zero-hours contracts.

A report from the Office for National Statistics published in February showed that real wages have been falling consistently since 2010. It’s the longest period since at least 1964. “We’re still in the hardest living standards squeeze for over a century and those who are already working have had years of real-terms pay cuts,” says TUC spokesperson Liz Chinchen. “Understanding the pressures that staff face is a good starting point for any employer. If employers want to show concern for their staff, they should be paying them well and understand that zero-hours contracts bring insecurity and extreme money worries.”

1.According to research by Top Employers, many corporations have enough talents for their development.

2.The data shows the key to attracting talents is to offer high salary.

3.The biggest challenge for employers to is keeping staff in the long run.

4.Not all employees believe that they can get a better offer.

5.The wages have been rising consistently since 2010.

Importance of ServicesThe United States has moved beyond the industrial economy stage to t

Importance of Services

The United States has moved beyond the industrial economy stage to the point where it has become the world's first service economy. Almost three-fourths of the nonfarm labor force is employed in service industries, and over two-thirds of the nation's gross national product is accounted for by services. Also, service jobs typically hold up better during a recession than do jobs in industries producing tangible goods.

During the 20-year period of 1966 to 1986, about 36 million new jobs were created in the United States--far more than in Japan and Western Europe combined. About 90 percent of these jobs were in service industries. During this same time span, some 22 million women joined the labor force--and 97 percent of these women went to work in the service sector. These employment trends are expected to continue at least until the year 2000. For the period 1986- 2000, the Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that over 21 million new jobs will be created and 93 percent of them will be in service industries.

Moreover, most of this explosive growth in services employment is not in low-paying jobs, contrary to the beliefs of many economists, business and labor leaders, and politicians. These people argue that manufacturing jobs, which have been the economic foundation of America's middle class, are vanishing. They claim that factory workers are being replaced with a host of low-wage earners. It is tree that manufacturing jobs have declined, with many of them going to foreign countries. It is also true that there has been growth in some low-paying service jobs. Yet cooks and counter people still represent only 1 percent of the U.S. labor force today. Furthermore, for many years the fastest-growing occupational category has been "professional, technical, and related work." These jobs pay well above the average, and most are in service industries.

About one-half of consumer expenditures are for the purchase of services. Projections to the year 2000 indicate that services will attract an even larger share of consumer spending. A drawback of the service economy boom is that the prices of most services have been going up at a considerably faster rate than the prices of most tangible products. You are undoubtedly aware of this if you have had your car or TV set repaired, had your shoes half-soled, or paid a medical bill in recent years.

When we say that services account for close to one-half of consumer expenditures, we still grossly understate the economic importance of services. These figures do not include the vast amounts spent for business services. By all indications, spending for business services has increased even more rapidly than spending for consumer services.

The first paragraph intends to tell us that

A．services are more important than industries producing tangible goods.

B．services are important.

C．service jobs make more money than other jobs.

D．services are more comfortable than other jobs.

听力原文：Environmentalists say pollution is terrible and becoming worse. Businessmen retor
t that a real cleanup would cost too much. The ordinary citizen believes both: the environment is indeed going down the drain, but so might his job if anyone tries to stop that. All of them, it turns out, are wrong.

Recent statistics show that, in rich countries at least, many of the worst pollution problems are far smaller than they used to be — and that the costs of this success have so far been small.

Start with air pollution. The dreaded greenhouse gases are still flowing into the atmosphere. But output of gases that attack the ozone layer is well under control. Production of CFCs used in refrigerators has fallen by two-thirds since the mid- 1980s. Many pollutants have been beaten back. The flow of oxides of sulfur, which contribute to evils such as acid rain and smog, has fallen by around a third in rich countries since 1980. Emissions of lead, soot and carbon monoxide—each hazardous to human health—have also fallen sharply.

Water quality has improved in many ways. There is still worry about chemicals, such as fertilizers and heavy metals, draining off the land. But many of the organisms that once infested rich-world waterways — and which still kill millions in poor countries — are retreating steadily. Progress is due largely to the spread of waste water treatment.

Has this cost jobs？ There is no evidence for that. Spending on pollution control amounts to 1% — 2% of GDP in most rich countries, but that has not cut jobs overall.

Question ：What is this passage mainly about？

(30)

A．An arguement for environmental protection.

B．An arguement against environmental protection.

C．An arguement for common citizens.

D．A clarification of a misconception about environment pollution and its cost.

第10题

If you are a recent social science graduate who has had to listen to jokes about unemploym
ent from your computer major classmates, you may have had the last laugh. There are many advantages for the social science major because this high-tech "Information Age" demands people who are flexible (灵活的) and who have good communication skills.

There are many social science majors in large companies who fill important positions. For example, a number of research studies found that social science majors had achieved greater managerial success than those who had technical training or pre-professional courses. Studies show that social science majors are most suited for change, which is the leading feature (特点) of the kind of high speed, high-pressure, high-toch world we now live in.

Social science majors are not only experiencing success in their long-term company jobs, but they are also finding jobs more easily. A study showed that many companies had filled a large percentage of their entry-level positions with social science graduates. The study also showed that the most sought-after quality in a person who was looking for a job was communication skills, noted as "very important" by 92 percent of the companies. Social science majors have these skills, often without knowing how important they are. It is probably due to these skills that they have been offered a wide variety of positions.

Finally, although some social science majors may still find it more difficult than their technically trained classmates to land the first job, recent graduates report that they don't regret their choice of study.

By saying that "you may have had the last laugh" in the first paragraph, the author means that you may have______.

A．shared the jokes with computer majors

B．earned as much as computer majors

C．found jobs more easily than computer majors

D．stopped joking about computer majors
