by choosing A,B,C,D.Mark yourchoice on ANSWER SHEET 1.(40 points)Text 1In order to“change lives for the better”and reduce“dependency,”George Orbome,Chancellor of the Exchequer,introduced the“upfront work search”scheme.Only if the jobless arrive at the jobcentre with a CV register for online jobsearch,and start looking for work will they be eligible for benefit-and then they should report weekly rather than fortnightly.What could be more reasonable?More apparent reasonableness followed.There will now be a seven-day wait for the jobseekers allowance.“Those firstfew days should be spent looking for work,not looking to sign on.”he claimed.“Were doing these things because we knowthey help people say off benefits and help those on benefits get into work faster”Help?Really?On first hearing,this was thesocially concerned chancellor,trying to change lives for the better,complete with“reforms”to an obviously indulgent systemthat demands too little effort from the newly unemployed to find work,and subsides laziness.What motivated him,we were tounderstand,was his zeal for“fundamental fairness”-protecting the taxpayer,controlling spending and ensuring that only themost deserving claimants received their benefits.Losing a job is hurting:you dont skip down to the jobcentre with a song in your heart,delighted at the prospect ofdoubling your income from the generous state.It is financially terrifying,psychologically embarrassing and you know thatsupport is minimal and extraordinarily hard to get.You are now not wanted;you support is minimal and extraordinarily hard toget.You are now not wanted;you are now excluded from the work environment that offers purpose and structure in your life.Worse,the crucial income to feed yourself and your family and pay the bills has disappeared.Ask anyone newly unemployedwhat they want and the answer is always:a job.But in Osborneland,your first instinct is to fall into dependency permanent dependency if you can get it supportedby a state only too ready to indulge your falsehood.It is as though 20 years of ever-tougher reforms of the job search andbenefit administration system never happened.The principle of British welfare is no longer that you can insure yourselfagainst the risk of unemployment and receive unconditional payments if the disaster happens.Even the very phrase“jobseekers allowance”invented in 1996 is about redefining the unemployed as a“jobseeker”who had no mandatoryright to a benefit he or she has earned through making national insurance contributions.Instead,the claimant receives a time-limited“allowance,”conditional on actively seeking a job;no entitlement and no insurance,at 71.70 a week,one of theleast generous in the EU.真题解析：章概括：政府Grorge Osbome提出了个项帮助失业的找作。21.George Osbornes scheme was intended toAprovide the unemployed with easier access to benefits.Bencourage jobseekers active engagement in job seeking.Cmotivate the unemployed to report voluntarily.Dguarantee jobseekers legitimate right to benefits.答案：B 细节题。本道题的关键是intended to问的是的，所以我们也应该去寻找体现的性的词汇，所以在段句看到了in order to,则后的内容即为本题答案，结合后找作的内容则选择 B选项。22.The phrase“to sign on”(Line 3,Para.2)most probably meansAto check on the availability of jobs at the jobcentre.Bto accept the governments restrictions on the allowance.Cto register for an allowance from the government.Dto attend a governmental job-training program.欢迎您阅读并下载本文档，本文档来源于互联网，如有侵权请联系删除！我们将竭诚为您提供优质的文档！答案：C 词义句意题。先根据题定位到第段第三，to sign on前有个很明显的not，则我们可以推知，这定是前的反义，我们只要读懂前半部分就可以了，前说应该 spend looking for work，正好和A选项相符，所以我们只要选择个相反的选项即可，则选择C选项。23.What promoted the chancellor to develop his scheme?AA desire to secure a better life for all.BAn eagerness to protect the unemployed.CAn urge to be generous to the claimants.DA passion to ensure fairness for taxpayers.答案:A 细节题。本道题的关键是题中的prompted和chancellor，根据chancellor能定位到段第五，再向下寻找则可发现motivate和prompt是对应的，所以看本句即可发现和A选项是对应的。24.According to Paragraph 3,being unemployed makes one one feelAuneasy.Benraged.Cinsulted.Dguilty.答案:A 细节题。本道题根据unemployed回到中定位在第三段的最后句，没有感觉相关内容，所以需要向前找答案，再根据本段第句话中的losing a job即可判定答案在第句，因此选择A选项。另我们会发现BCD三个选项趋于强烈和负，所以，我们选择A选项。25.To which of the following would the author most probably agree?AThe British welfare system indulges jobseekers laziness.BOsbornes reforms will reduce the risk of unemployment.CThe jobseekers allowance has met their actual needs.DUnemployment benefits should not be made conditional.
