Section II Reading Comprehension
Part B (10 points)
The following paragraphs are given in a wrong order. For Questions 1-5, you are required to reorganize these paragraphs into a coherent article by choosing from the list A-H to fill in each numbered box. The first, the fourth and the last paragraphs have been placed for you in Boxes. [A]In addition, your legal system should make it nearly impossible for anyone to license a new business, however small. This will offer opportunities for your bureaucrats to make a living through corruption and will protect your cronies from domestic competition. An added advantage is that most commerce will be made illegal and subject to arbitrary enforcement. [B]Of course, you may find it too tiresome to nationalize everything, in which case it is very important that you establish high tariffs that insulate your country’s remaining private industries(usually owned by your cronies anyway)from competition. [C]First, make sure that your country’s money is no good. Print money like there’s no tomorrow. Hyperinflation is one of the easiest and most popular ways to dismantle an economy. Another popular monetary gambit is to make sure your currency is not convertible. This guarantees that no one will ever want to invest in your country. [D]Keeping people poor is hard work, but following the above policies will achieve that goal. Modern poverty is a miracle that only you can make happen. [E]This leads to the point that property is critical. Once people start to own something, they invest in it and improve it, leading inexorably to the creation of wealth. Again, the legal system can help to make it impossible to issue clear titles so that your citizens can’t buy, sell, or borrow against their “property”. Also, force your farmers to sell their crops to government commodity boards at below-market rates. This will discourage them from investing in anything more advanced than subsistence agriculture, and you will be able to sell whatever crops you do seize at low prices to keep the urban populations quiet. [F]”Poverty, not economic growth, is the real miracle today,” explains Leon Louw, executive director of the Free Market Foundation. [G]To further discourage investment, be sure to nationalize all major Industries. Nationalization has additional poverty-enhancing benefits. For example, it will ensure that the nationalized industries never improve technologically or become more efficient, and it makes workers pathetically dependent on their political masters, namely you. [H]Here is a short guide for kleptocrats and egalitarians who want to keep their countries poor. All of these policies have stood the test of time as techniques for creating and maintaining poverty. The list is by no means exhaustive,
but it will give would-be political leaders a good idea of how to start their countries on the road to ruin. Order:
1.
正确答案:H
解析:本文可从前文获取排序信息。上文提到了本文的关键词“贫穷”,并指出贫穷是当今真正的奇迹,可知下文所说的应与贫穷有关。通读选项,选项H既从宏观上概括了本文的主旨——一个国家如何保持贫困,又引出下文,即对国家保持贫困的策略进行分析,具有承上启下的作用。故选项H为最佳顺序。 知识模块:阅读理解
2.
正确答案:C 解析:本文可以从上文获得信息。上文指出下文是介绍国家保持贫困的策略,而C选项则指出国家首先要通过保持国家纸币一文不值或者不能兑换的方式使国家整体处于贫困水平,并且段首的“首先”(First)一词可以作为一个关键连接词,连接上下文,因此放在此处比较合适。 知识模块:阅读理解
3.
正确答案:G
解析:此处从上下文均可得到有效信息。从上文看,上文结尾指出保持纸币不能兑换可以阻止外国投资。G选项开始指出了进一步阻止投资的方法是确保所有工业国有化,可与上文相衔接,即进一步介绍阻止投资的方法。从下文看,选项B放在此处,指出如果领导人觉得将一切国有化太麻烦,可以采取提高关税来阻止竞争。选项中的“国有化”作为关键词与上文相衔接。因此G选项较好地连接了上下文,放在此处最为合适。 知识模块:阅读理解
4.
正确答案:A
解析:此处应该综合余下的选项A和E来分析。选项A论述了法律体系在保持国家贫困中的作用。选项E则论述了财产的重要性,并指出政府如何让城市人口安于现状,保持平静。并且选项E中出现了“法律制度”一词,而此前的文章内容并未涉及到法律制度一词,只有A选项中论述了法律体系在保持国家贫困中的作用,依据逻辑判断,可知A应排在E前面,故A放在此处比较合适。 知识模块:阅读理解
5.
正确答案:E
解析:结合上题分析,此处选择E为最佳顺序选项。 知识模块:阅读理解
You are going to read a text about technical resume writing tips, followed by a list of evidences. Choose the best evidence from the list A-G for each numbered subheading(1-5). There are two extra examples which you do not need to use. List your technical knowledge first, in an organized way. Your technical strengths must stand out clearly at the beginning of your resume. Ultimately, your resume is going to be read by a thoughtful human being, but before it gets to that point it often has to be categorized by an administrative clerk, and make its way past various sorts of key word searches. Therefore, you should list as many directly relevant buzz words as you can which reflect your knowledge and experience. List all operating systems and UNIX flavors you know. List all programming languages and platforms with which you’re experienced. List all software you are skilled with. Make it obvious at a glance where your strengths lie—whether the glance is from a hiring manager, a clerk, or a machine. 【C1】List your qualifications in order of relevance, from most to least. 【C2】Quantify your experience wherever possible. 【C3】Don’t sell yourself short. This is by far the biggest mistake of all resumes, technical and otherwise. 【C4】Be concise. As a rule of thumb, resumes reflecting five years or less experience should fit on one page. More extensive experience can justify usage of a second page. Consider three pages(about 15 years or more experience)an absolute limit. 【C5】Have a trusted friend review your resume. Proofread, proofread, proofread. Be sure to catch all spelling errors, grammatical weaknesses, unusual punctuation, and inconsistent capitalizations. Proofread it numerous times over at least two days to allow a fresh eye to catch any hidden mistakes. Laser print it on plain, white paper. Handwriting, typing, dot matrix printing, and even ink jet printing look pretty cheesy. Stick with laser prints. Don’t waste your money on special bond paper, matching envelopes, or any color deviances away from plain white. Your resume will be photocopied, faxed, and scanned numerous times, defeating any special paper efforts, assuming your original resume doesn’t first end up in the circular file. [A]Cite numerical figures, such as monetary budgets/funds saved, time periods/efficiency improved, lines of code written/debugged, numbers of machines administered/fixed, etc. which demonstrate progress or accomplishments due directly to your work. [B]Avoid lengthy descriptions of whole projects of which you were only a part. Consolidate action verbs where one task or responsibility encompasses other tasks and duties. Minimize usage of articles(the, an, a)and never use “I” or other pronouns to identify yourself. [C]Leave all these things off your resume: social security number, marital status, health, citizenship, age, scholarships, irrelevant awards, irrelevant associations and memberships, irrelevant publications, irrelevant recreational activities, a second mailing address(“permanent address” is confusing and never used), references, reference of references(“available upon request”), travel history, previous pay rates, previous supervisor names, and components of your name which you really never use(i. e. middle names). [D]Begin sentences with action verbs. Portray yourself as someone who is active, uses their brain, and gets things done. Stick with the past tense, even for descriptions of
