but the unofficial estimate is closer to 200,000. Many of them are under 30 years old and will be directly affected by the new ban.
The government's been under growing pressure to do more to protect its workers. Women employed in the informal sector as part of a household are very vulnerable. Nepal's Embassies in the region say they deal with numerous cases of alleged physical or sexual abuse, as well as complaints about unpaid wages and terrible conditions.
Many run safe houses to support women who flee their employer's homes. It's only 18 months since the government ended a 12-year ban on all women workers to the Gulf. That wasimposed after a young woman working in Kuwait committed suicide. Now they're adopting this partial ban in the hope that older women might be less at risk. Nepal has a high unemployment rate and the government is trying to strike a balance between protection and allowing women to pursue opportunities.
Other countries face the same dilemma. Two months ago, Kenya banned its citizens from working in the Middle East because, it said, increasing numbers were being mistreated. Last year, Indonesia introduced a ban on women working as maids in the region. That followed numerous cases of abuse and the execution of an Indonesian maid who was accused of killing her former employer.
26. Who will be most probably be affected by the new ban？_________
A. Young Nepalese women working in the Middle East.
B. Nepalese women just back from the Middle East.
C. Nepalese women working at home.
D. Nepalese women who wants to work for rich families.
27. Why does the Nepalese government decide to adopt the ban？___________
A. Because they wanted women to work at home.
B. Because they wanted Nepalese women to have equal opportunities.
C. Because they wanted to protect the Nepalese women.
D. Because they had a bad relationship with the gulf countries.
28. How are the Nepalese women treated when working in the Middle East？_________
A. They are well treated.
B. They are offered many opportunities.
C. They have much freedom.
D. Many of them are mistreated and abused.
29. Which of the following is correct about the ban？_________
A. It is historical and has never been imposed before.
B. A year and a half ago, another ban existed.
C. It has lasted twelve years.
D. It solves the unemployment problem at home.
30. Which of the following is correct？_________
A. Middle East women work outside their countries.
B. Women working in the Middle East all come from Asia.
C. Women working in the Middle East need protection.
D. Embassies cannot do anything to protect women from their country.

America must recognize this new course of events. Our success in shaping world events over the past 40 years has been the direct result of our ability to adapt technology and to take advantage of the capabilities of our people for the purpose of maintaining peace. Our industrial prowess(威力)over most of this period was unchallenged. It is ironic(有讽刺性的) that it is just this prowess that has enabled other countries to prosper and in turn to threaten our industrial leadership.
The competitiveness of America's industrial base is an issue bigger than the department of defense and is going to require the efforts of the major institutional forces in our society, government, industry, and education. That is not to say that the defense department will not be a strong force in the process. But we simply cannot be, nor should we be, looked upon by others as the savior(救星) of American industry.
Now a nation's political influence depends on______.
A．the strength of its military forces
B．its ability to compete in industry
C．economic markets
D．both A and B

Nowadays, a standard for measuring power has changed. These changes foretell a new standard for measuring power. No longer will a nation's political influence be based solely on the strength of its military forces. Of course, military effectiveness will remain a primary measure of power. But political influence is also closely tied to industrial competitiveness. It's often said that without its military the Soviet Union would really be a third-world nation. The new standard of power and influence that is evolving now places more emphasis on the ability of a country to compete effectively in the economic markets of the world.
America must recognize this new course of events. Our success in shaping world events over the past 40 years has been the direct result of our ability to adapt technology and to take advantage of the capabilities of our people for the purpose of maintaining peace. Our industrial prowess(威力)over most of this period was unchallenged. It is ironic(有讽刺性的) that it is just this prowess that has enabled other countries to prosper and in turn to threaten our industrial leadership.

Now a nation's political influence depends on______.
[A] the strength of its military forces
[B] its ability to compete in industry
[C] economic markets
[D] both A and B

The recent growth of export surpluses on the world food market has certainly been unexpectedly great, partly because a strange sequence of two successful grain harvests in North America is now being followed by a
third. Most of Britain's overseas suppliers of meat, too, are offering more this year and home production has also risen.
But the effect of all this on the food situation in this country has been made worse by a simultaneous rise in food prices, due chiefly to the gradual cutting down of government support for food. The shops are. over stocked with food not only because there is more food available, but also because people, frightened by high prices, are buying less of it.
Moreover, the rise in domestic prices has come at a time when world prices have begun to fall, with the result that imported food, with the exception of grain, is often cheaper than the home-produced variety. And now grain prices, too, are falling. Consumers are beginning to ask why they should not be enabled to benefit from this trend.
The significance of these developments is not lost on farmers. The older generation have seen it all happen before. Despite the present price and market guarantees, farmers fear they are about to be squeezed between cheap food imports and a shrinking home market. Present production is running at 51 per cent above pre-war levels, and the government has called for an expansion to 60 per cent by 1956; but repeated Ministerial advice is carrying little weight and the expansion program is not working very well.
The main reason for the rise in food prices is that ______.
A．people are buying less food
B．the government is providing less support for agriculture
C．domestic food production has decreased
D．imported food is driving prices higher
第7题
A.information

第8题
1983年里根执政时，推行"实物支付计划"。以小麦市场为例，考察该计划如何奏效。
(1)假设需求函数为QD=28-2P，供给函数为QS=4+4P。P是小麦的价格，单位为美元/蒲式耳，Q是产量，单位为10亿蒲式耳，试求出自由市场均衡价格和产量。
(2)假设政府向农民支付小麦，鼓励农民将部分土地退耕，使供给减少自由市场均衡量产量的25%。用于支付的小麦来源于政府储备，数量等于退耕土地的收获量。农民可在市场上自由出售这些小麦。问农民的产量为多少？政府间接供应市场多少小麦？新的市场价格是多少？农民获益多少？消费者得益还是受损？
(3)如果政府不把小麦返送给农民，小麦将积压或变质。纳税人从该计划中受益吗？该计划存在什么潜在问题？
In 1983, the Reagan Administration introduced a new agricultural program called the Payment-in-Kind Program. To see how the program worked, let' s consider the wheat market.
a. Suppose the demand function is QD=28-2P and the supply function is QS=4+4P, where P is the price of wheat in dollars per bushel and Q is the quantity in billions of bushels. Find the free-market equilibrium price and quantity.
b. Now suppose the government wants to lower the supply of wheat by 25 percent from the free-market equilibrium by paying farmers to withdraw land from production. However, the payment is made in wheat rather than in dollars- hence the name of the program. The wheal comes from the government ' s vast reserves that resulted from previous price support programs. The amount of wheal paid is equal to the amount that could have been harvested on the land withdrawn from production. Farmers. are free to sell this wheat on the market. How much is now produced by farmers？ How much is indirectly supplied to the market by the government？ What is the new market price？ How much do the farmers gain？ Do consumers gain or lose？
c. Had the government not given the wheat back to the farmers, it would have stored or destroyed i. Do taxpayers gain from the program？ What potential problems does the program create？

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:
It isn’t often that an entire industry is symbolized in the figure of a single human being, and such is the case with Canadian aviation and the aircraft industry. The man is the Hon. John A.D.McCurdy, and the life story of this still vigorous, distinguished Canadian is at once and at the same time the thrilling history of aviation’s progress in Canada.
It all began one cold February day in 1909 at Baddeck, Nova Scotia, when John McCurdy confounded the critics by flying the Silver Dart, an aircraft designed by himself, for half a mile over the ice of Bras deor Lakes. This was the first po wered flight in Canada and the first by a British subject in the Commonwealth. McCurdy gave proof of his flying ability—and of the development and the use of the aileron by being the first man in the world to execute a figure eight in the air. He became the first to pilot a flying boat, taking off from Long Island Sound. He flew the first airplane to Mexico. In 1911 he had made the longest flight to date, and that over open sea 90 miles from Key West to Havana. He won the first cross country race in Canada 40 miles from Hamilton to Toronto—and he transmitted the first radio message from aircraft.
When World War Ⅱ came, McCurdy took on board supervisory authority for Canadian aircraft production by serving with the government in various senior positions.Following World War Ⅱ, McCurdy was honored by being made lieutenant governor of Nova Scotia where he made Canada’s first historic flight. He now lives in Montreal with a summer home in Baddeck, site of his first flight.

33.McCurdy is NOT the first one to ____.
A.fly in Canada B.pilot a flying boat
C.fly from Key West to Toronto D.fly to Mexico
34.Nowadays, McCurdy ____.
A.lives in Montreal in summer
B.is the lieutenant governor of Nova Scotia
C.is still very active and energetic
D.is the government’s counsellor
35.The best title for this passage is ____.

第11题
The rate of broken marriages has risen steadily since Spain legalized(合法化) divorce in 1981, and a 2005 reform has caused those numbers to skyrocket.The reform has allowed couples to separate for one year before divorce. As a result, Spain now has on divorce for every 2.3 marriages - an increase of 74% in the past two years alone.
For the Catholic Church, Spain's rising divorce rate shows the morality (道德)is being threatened,and this threat comes from the government, whose power has no longer remained in the Church. Cardinal(红衣主教）Augustín García-Gasco believes that radical separation of politics and religion has led to nothing but despair along with abortion and fast divorce. Benigno Blanco, president of the Spanish Forum for the Family, agrees, 'The reform has made the marriage contract useless.'
However,Spaniards(西班牙人）no longer feel shameful by the prospect of divorce. A website named 'divorcioexpress.com' offers couples agreements on divorce through the Internet. 'We facilitate about 100 divorces a month,'Alberto Gillette, the founder of the website, says, 'but we're not encouraging divorce, just making it easier to get.'Like the companies, some sociologists also think it unreasonable to be worried about the divorce boom, because the number of separations is dropping down when that of divorces is increasing. 'In the past, when it came to the issue on divorce, Spain seemed unique in Europe.' Sociologist Inés Alberdi says, 'Now we're more like other European countries.'

A、the happiness of marriage and family

A、the government is suffering the moral threats
B、Spaniards think much of the divorce problem
C、so many Spaniards are thinking about divorce
D、couples can divorce without any restrictions
5.The best title of the passage is（）.
