15、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。AYou are busy filling out the application form for a position you really need; lets assume you once actually completed a couple of years of college work or even that you completed your degree. Isnt it tempting to lie just a little, to claim on the form that your diploma(毕业文

16、凭) represents a Harvard degree? Or that you finished an extra couple of years back at State University?More and more people are turning to an utter deception(欺骗) like this to land their first job or to move head in their careers. For personnel officers, like most Americans, value degrees from famous

17、 schools. A job applicant may have a good education anyway, but he or she assumes that chances of being hired are better with a diploma from a well-known university. Registrars(注册主任)at most well-known colleges say that they deal with dishonest claims like these at the rate of about one per week.Pers

18、onnel officers do check up on degrees listed on application forms. If it turns out that an applicant is lying, most colleges are unwilling to accuse the applicant directly. One lvy League school refers to them as “special cases”, One well-known West Coast school, in perhaps the most delicate phrase

19、of all, says these claims are made by “no such people”.To avoid complete lies, some job seekers claim that they “attended” or “were associated with” a college or university. After careful checking, a personnel officer may discover that “attending” means being dismissed after one semester. It may be

20、that “being as sociated with” a college means that the job-seeker visited his younger brother for a football weekend. One school that keeps records of false claims says that the practice dates back at least to the turn of the centurythats when they began keeping records, anyhow.If you dont want to l

21、ie or even stretch the truth, there are companies that will sell you a fake diploma. One company, with offices in New York and on the West Coast, will put your name on a diploma from any number of non-existent colleges. The price begins at around twenty dollars for a diploma from “Smoot State Univer

22、sity”. The prices increase rapidly for a degree from the “University of Purdue”. As there is no Smoot State and the real school in Indiana is properly called Purdue University, the prices seem rather high for one sheet of paper.36. The writer mainly wants to tell us that _.A. college degrees can now

23、 be purchased easilyB. it is very hard for people to find jobsC. lying about college degrees is becoming a widespread problemD. employers are no longer interested in applicants actual performances37. The underlined word “utter” in the second paragraph means “_”.A. thoroughB. carefulC. incompleteD. s

24、poken38. Once finding applicants with false diplomas, most colleges would _.A. keep the records of themB. drive them out of collegeC. avoid direct conflicts with themD. accuse them of such behavior39. We can learn from the passage that _.A. US employers value their job applicants with a degree from

25、top universitiesB. University of Purdue and Purdue University are the same schoolC. people with fake diplomas can get their first jobs in the US easilyD. people pay the same price for a fake diploma from different universitiesBThe crisis at Japans Fukushima Daiichi nuclear energy center caused by th

26、e terrible earthquake has raised questions about the future of the nuclear energy industry. Arjun is president of the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research in the United States. He says the disaster in Japan is historic. This week, the chairman of Americas nuclear agency said there is litt

27、le chance that harmful radiation(辐射) from Japan could reach the United States. Gregory also said America has a strong program in place to deal with earthquake threats. No new nuclear power centers have been built in the United States since 1979. That was when Americas worst nuclear accident happened

28、 at the Three Mile Island center in Pennsylvania. The accident began to turn public opinion against nuclear energy. At present, about twenty percent of electricity in the United States comes from nuclear energy. German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Germany would close seven nuclear power centers for

29、 the time being while energy policy is reconsidered. The European Union is planning to test all centers in its twenty-seven member nations. Developing nations are less willing to slow down the development of nuclear. China says it will continue with plans to build about twenty-five new nuclear react

30、ors(核反应堆). And India, under a cooperation agreement with the United States, plans to spend billions on new centers in the coming years. Nuclear reactors supply fourteen percent of global electricity. Nuclear energy is a clean resource, producing no carbon gases. But radioactive waste is a serious pr

31、oblem to be solved. So is the presence of nuclear power centers in earthquake areas like the one near Bushehr, lran.40. We can learn from the text that America _. A. experienced a terrible nuclear accident 32 years agoB. has a strong program to deal with radiation dangerC. depends heavily on nuclear

32、 energy to produce electricityD. will check all the reactors before cooperating with India41. According to the text, which country will be most likely to have a similar disaster?A. German.B. IranC. India.D. China.42. How does the author seem to feel about the future of nuclear energy?A. Satisfied.B.

America Shows Great Concern for Japans Nuclear CrisisD. Japans Disaster Throws Doubt on Nuclear Energy IndustryCIf cars had wings,

34、they could fly and that just might happen, beginning in 2012. The company Terrafugia, based in Woburn, Massachusetts, says it plans to deliver its car-plane, the Transition, to customers by the end of 2012.“Its next wow vehicle,” said Terrafugia vice president Richard Gersh. “Anybody can buy a Ferra

35、ri, but as we say, Ferraris dont fly.”The car-plane has wings that unfold for flying-a process the company says takes one minute-and fold back up for driving. A runway is still required to take off and land.The Transition is being marketed more as a plane that drives than a car that flies, although

36、it is both. The company has been working with FAA to meet aircraft regulations, and with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to meet vehicle safety regulations.The company is aiming to sell the Transition to private pilots as a more convenient and cheaper way to fly. They say it saves

37、 you the trouble from trying to find another mode of transportation to get to and from airports: You drive the car to the airport and then youre good to go. When you land, you hold up the wings and hit the road. There are no expensive parking fees because you dont have to store it at an airport-you

38、park it in the garage at home.The car-plane is designed to fly primarily under 10,000 feet. It has a maximum takeoff weight of 1,430 pounds, including fuel and passengers. Thrrafugia says the Transition reduces the potential for an accident by allowing pilots to drive under the bad weather instead o

39、f flying into marginal(临界的) conditions.The Transitions price tag: $194,000. But there may be additional charges for options like a radio, , a transponder or a GPS. Another option is a full-plane parachute.“If you get into a very awful situation, it is the necessary safety option.” Gersh said.So far,

40、 the company has more than 70 orders with deposits. “Were working very closely with them, but there are still some remaining steps,” Brown said.44. We can learn from the first two paragraphs that _.A. car-planes will be popular in 2012-4-6B. people might drive a car-plane in 2012C. both the Transiti

41、on and Ferrari can take off and landD. Richard Gersh is the vice president of Massachusetts45. It takes the car-plane one minute to _.

People can park the car-plane in the garage at their home.D Angry survivors demanded answers on Sunday after a te

43、rrible stampede（踩踏）at “Love Parade 2010”, a music festival in Germany, killed 19 people and left hundreds hurt. The German Chancellor Angela Merkel expressed her shock over Saturdays tragedy in the western city of Duisburg. “This was a very sad day,” Merkel said. “We must do everything we can to ens

44、ure that something like this never happens again.” Witnesses said that people pushed into the narrow tunnel, the only entrance to the Love Parade festival, from both sides until it was dangerously overcrowded. The panic began as festival-goers began to lose consciousness as they were crushed against

45、 the walls and each other. The dead included eight foreigners, from Australia, Italy, the Netherlands, China, Bosnia and Spain. More than 340 people were injured. After the panic, a lot of emergency vehicles, including helicopters, could be seen parked on the highway leading to helicopters, could be

46、 seen parked on the highway leading to the festival site, carrying away the injured people. The festival itself, however, went on. Police were afraid that ending the music altogether could cause further unrest among the crowd. “The event was a real mess,” Patrick Guenter, a 22-year-old baker, said.

47、“Although the festival was full, they kept letting people in.” he added. “It seems the organizers didnt plan the route. The road was very narrow, and no one knew what was going on.” Said Taggart Bowen-Gaddy,20,an American from Philadelphia. Officials said 4,000 police officers and 1,000 security gua

48、rds provided security for the event, which attracted up to 1.4 million people. The authorities had only given organizers permission for 250,000 people to attend.“I warned one year ago that Duisburg was not a suitable place for the Love Parade. The city is too small and narrow for such events. It is

49、a pity that” German police union chief Rainer Wendt told the Bild.The chief organizer, Rainer Schaller, said the popular event would never be held again, “out of respect for the victims and their families”.First held in Berlin in 1989 just months before the fall of the Wall, the Love Parade is one o

50、f the biggest music festivals in Europe.
