32、a new world opens up and frequently it is a much more difficult world. The pupil soon learns to be less free in the way he speaks to teachers and even to his fellow pupils. He begins to lose gradually the free and easy ways of the primary school, for he senses the need for a more cautious approach i

33、n the secondary school where there are older pupils. Secondary staff and pupils suffer from the pressuresof academic work and seem to have less time to stop and talk. Teachers withspecialist roles may see hundreds of children in a week, and a pupil maybe able to form relationships with very few of t

34、he staff. He has to decidewhich adults are approachable; good schools will make clear to every youngperson from the first year what guidance and personal help is available-but whether the reality of life in the institution actually encouragesrequests for help is another matter. /d

35、oc/7e36d5cdda38376baf1fae52.htmlAdults often forget what a confusing picture school can offer to achild. He sees a great deal of movement, a great number of people-oftenrather frightening-looking people-and realizes than an increasing numberof choices and decisions have to be made. As he progresses

36、through theschool the confusion may become less but the choices and decisions requiredwill increase. The school will rightly expect the pupil to take the firststeps to obtain the help he needs, for this is the pattern of adult lifefor which he has to be prepared, but all the time the opportunities f

42、dents in a week.D) A pupil may form relationships with a lot of staff.Questions 76 to 80 are based on the following passage:Ours has become a society of employees. A hundred years or so ago onlyone out of every five Americans at work was employed, i.e., worked forsomebody else. Today only one out of

43、 five is not employed but working forhimself. And when fifty years agobeing employedmeant working as afactory labourer or as a farmhand, the employee of today is increasinglya middle-class person with a substantial formal education, holding aprofessional or management job requiring intellectual and

44、technical skills.Indeed, two things have characterized American society during these lastfifty years: middle-class employees have been the 本材料由育路服装论坛材料，必要更多材料请会见/doc/7e36d5cdda38376baf1fae52.htmlfastest-growing groupsin our working population - growing so fast that the i

45、ndustrial worker,that oldest child of the Industrial Revolution, has been losing in numeri-cal importance despite the expansion of industrial production.Yet you will find little if anything written on what it is to be anemployee. You can find a great deal of very dubious advice on how to geta job or

46、 how to get a promotion. You can also find a good deal of workin a chosen field, whether it be the mechanists trade or book keeping(?). Every one of these trades requires different skills, sets differentstandards, and requires a different preparation. Yet they all have em-ployeeship in common. And i

47、ncreasingly, especially in the large businessor in the government, employeeship is more important to success than thespecial professional knowledge or skill. Certainly more people fail becausethey do not know the requirements of being an employee than because theydo not adequately possess the skills

48、 of their trade; the higher youclimb the ladder, the more you get into administrative or executive work,the greater the emphasis on ability to work within the organization ratherthan on technical abilities or professional knowledge.76.

51、 factory labourers in the total employeepopulation has decreased.78. The word dubious (Line 2, Para. 2) most probably means _.A) valuable B) useful C) doubtful D) helpful79. According to the writer, professional knowledge or skill is _.A) less important than awareness of being a good employeeB) as i

52、mportant as the ability to deal with public relationsC) more important than employer-employee relationsD) as important as the ability to co-operate with others本材料由育路服装论坛材料，必要更多材料请会见/doc/7e36d5cdda38376baf1fae52.html80. From the passage it can be seen that employeeship he

53、lps one _.A) to be more successful in his careerB) to be more specialized in his fieldC) to gain professional abilityD) to develop his professional skillQuestions 81 to 85 are based on the following passage:The United States court system, as part of the federal system of go-vernment, is characterize

54、d by dual hierarchies: there are both state andfederal courts. Each state has its own system of courts, composed of civiland criminal trial courts, sometimes intermediate courts of appeal, and astate supreme court. The federal court system consists of a series oftrial courts (called district courts)

55、 serving relatively small geographicregions (there is at least one for every state), a tier of circuit courtsof appeal that hear appeals from many district courts in a particular geo-graphic region, and the Supreme Court of the United States. The two courtsystems are to some extent overlapping, in t

56、hat certain kinds of disputes(such as a claim that a state law is in violation of the Constitution) maybe initiated in either system. They are also to some extent hierarchical,for the federal system stands above the state system in that litigants(persons engaged in lawsuits) who lose their cases in

57、the state supremecourt may appeal their cases to the Supreme Court of the United States.Thus, the typical court case begins in a trial court - a court ofgeneral jurisdiction - in the state or federal system.
