This means we shall have to find ways of sharing the available emp
8、loyment more widely.But we need to go further. We must ask some fundamental questions about the future of work. Should we continue to treat employment as the norm Should we not rather encourage many other ways for self-respecting people to work Should we not create conditions in which many of us can
9、 work for ourselves, rather than for an employer Should we not aim to revive the household and the neighborhood, as well as the factory and the office, as centers of production and work The industrial age has been the only period of human history in which most people’s work has taken the form
10、of jobs. The industrial age may now be coming to an end, and some of the changes in work patterns which it brought may have to be reversed. This seems a daunting thought. But, in fact, it could offer the prospect of a better future for work. Universal employment, as its history shows, has not meant
11、economic freedom.Employment became widespread when the enclosures of the 17th and 18th centuries made many people dependent on paid work by depriving them of the use of the land, and thus of the means to provide a living for themselves. Then the factory system destroyed the cottage industries and re
12、moved work from people’s homes. Later, as transport improved, first by rail and then by road, people commuted longer distances to their places of employment until, eventually, many people’s work lost all connection with their home lives and the places in which they lived.Meanwhile, emplo
13、yment put women at a disadvantage. In pre-industrial times, men and women had shared the productive work of the household and village community. Now it became customary for the husband to go out to paid employment, leaving the unpaid work of the home and family to his wife. Tax and benefit regularit
14、ies still assume this norm today, and restrict more flexible sharing of work roles between the sexes.It was not only women whose work status suffered. As employment became the dominant form of work, young people and old people were excluded a problem now, as more teenagers become frustrated at schoo
15、l and more retired people want to live active lives.All this may not have to change, the time has certainly come to switch some effort and resources away from the Utopian goal of creating jobs for all, to the urgent practical task of helping many people to manage without full-time jobs.Research carr
16、ied out in recent opinion polls shows that ().A. available employment should be restricted to a small percentage of the populationB. new jobs should be created in order to rectify high unemployment figuresC. available employment must be more widely distributed among the unemployedD. the present high
17、 unemployment figures are a fact of life17.Text 2Internet has created a new vocabulary that has come to represent a historical era of change. Ask John Morse, publisher of Merriam-Webster Dictionaries, to name the word that defines the close of the millennium and he doesn’t hesitate: Internet.
18、No other word has become part of people’s lives so quickly or has had such an impact, he says. The Internet has swept into the American vocabulary and given birth to so many new words and phrases netizen, chatroom and homepage among them that it has come to represent an era in social history,
19、he says. And remarkably, Internet has managed to become the most significant word of the century in less than a decade. We first started seeing a number of citations in 1994, and by 1998 it was established in the dictionary, Morse says, It was just astounding. No other new word has gained such wides
20、pread acceptance so quickly, he says.Just a century ago, another form of communication swept into the language. In the 1898 edition of Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary, the hot new word was telephone. It brought massive social change and reshaped the way people did business, just as the
21、 Internet is doing today, Mores says. Telephone was no easy linguistic act to follow. It helped bring into popular usage a wide range of new words and phrases busy signals, wrong numbers, voice mail, cell phones. It also gave the United States its standard greeting: Hello. But Internet is holding it
22、s own, in part by borrowing words from older technologies and giving them new meaning, such as bookmark, copy and browser.That is how vocabulary evolves, Mores says. It’s human nature to make the concept easier to understand by using a familiar, in this case print-based, metaphor. Allan Metcal
23、f, a professor at MacMurray College in Illinois, helps put together a list of words of the year for the American Dialect Society. He says the word Internet is a strong candidate to define the end of the century, but he has another preference: words with the prefix e-, as e-mail or e-commerce. It has
24、 a little more impact and it conveys attitudes, Metcalf says.At Merriam, new words earn a place in the dictionary simply by repeated use in popular press. Merriam’s lexicographers append a large part of their day reading newspapers, magazines, and now Internet publications. Each new word along
25、 with a copy from the publication showing how it was used goes into an electronic database.Why did John Morse choose Internet as the word that defines the close of the 20th century().A. The word has the highest frequency count in newspapers, magazines and the Internet publications.B. It was highly r
26、ecommended by the editing group of the Merriam-Webster’s Dictionaries.C. It had an impact on society and quick merge to the language and people that no other words can match.D. It served as a root for creating more new words.18.Text 3Since the mid-1960s Southeast Asia has faced a potentially w
27、ide-ranging security threat. Well before the events of September 11, the region was enduring a slump in exports and a falloff in foreign investment as Western firms headed to China. Even Singapore’s economy, the region’s strongest, probably shrank by 2% in 2001, while Indonesia, the weak
28、est player, is struggling to avert a new foreign debt crisis.Now the region is being seen overseas as a breeding ground for international terrorists. Foreign businesses have stopped sending execs to the region to explore new opportunities, while companies are beefing up security at their offices and
29、 homes. Clearly, the region’s governments need to show the world they can keep the peace. That requires achieving a tricky balancing act: Authorities must provide adequate security to foreign firms without being alarmist and scaring them off completely.Also vexing for Southeast Asian governmen
30、ts is how to deal with US offers of military assistance. Nations with large Muslim populations cannot afford to make open appeals to the US for help. Nowhere is this more true than in Indonesia, the most likely spot for A1 Qaeda to operate. Indonesia is resisting pressure from the US because it can
31、ill afford a nationalist revenge.Southeast Asia’s ailing economies won’t easily weather another round of investor disenchantment. As it is, foreign businesspeople are becoming increasingly jittery. The perceived growth of radical Islam is clearly having a deleterious impact on the Indone
32、sian economy. To be sure, the weak global economy is responsible for some of the dropoff in orders. But the numbers make grim reading. Indonesian exports fell from $3.6 billion in October to $3 billion in November, 2001, a drop of 16% in one month, according to the Central Bureau of Statistics. Fore
33、ign direct investment plunged from $1.9 billion in November, 2001 to $630 million in December of the same year.Meanwhile, Indonesia’s domestic economy is feeling increasingly vulnerable. Wanandi, the CEO of an auto assembling company, believes the government is not doing enough! Like most Indo
34、nesians, Wanandi agrees that inviting in US troops is politically impossible. He is calling instead for the Indonesian military to be given greater powers to crack down on militant groups. There is a lot of competition between the army and the police, he says. That’s why a lot of bombing is go
35、ing on. No one is being punished.The trouble is, the foe is maddeningly elusive. But until the threat fades, Southeast Asia will have to deal with declining foreign investment, jittery execs, and, in Indonesia, rising poverty and instability the very environment in which terror groups thrive.The bes
36、t title for this brief passage should be ().A. Indonesia: Grim Economic Prospects in 2002B. Why is Jakarta resisting US Military AidC. The Link of Indonesia Terror Groups to al QaedaD. Southeast Asia: Terror’s New Front19.Text 1The destruction of Agadir is an example of ().A. faulty building c
37、onstructionB. an earthquake’s strengthC. widespread panic in earthquakesD. ineffective instruments20.Text 3It has been assumed by Japanese that he ().A. belongs to a group of botanistsB. is excessively odd to travel aloneC. needs to be directed to his hotelD. has wandered away from his party21
