The decline in degree production in what are called the STEM disciplines (science, technology, engineering, and math) seems to be 40 related to the comparatively weak performance by U.S. schoolchildren on international assessments of math and science. Many students entering college have weak skills in mathematics. According to the 2005 report of the Business-Higher Education Forum, 22 percent of college freshmen must take remedial (补习的) math 41 , and less than half of the students who plan to major in science or engineering 42 complete a major in those fields. The result has been a decrease in the number of American college graduates who have the skills, 43 in mathematics, to power a workforce that can keep the country at the forefront (前沿) of innovation and maintain its standard of living. With the 44 performance of American students in math and science has come increased competition from students from other countries that have strongly supported education in these areas. Many more students earn 45 in the STEM disciplines in developing countries than in the United States. A) accelerating B) actually C) closely D) contemporary E) courses F) critical G) declining H) degrees I) especially J) future K) led L) met M) procedures N) proportions O) spheres

In today&amp;39; s society, suicide is much more prevalent than we want to admit. Why do people try to take their own lives？ The motives for suicide can be categorized into areas such as a failure, wrath（暴怒）, the needfor attention, stress, and so on. However, the qualities of a person who wants to take his own life change from person to person, making it difficult to depict（描写）the typical victim. To make the problem even more confusing, people will often camouflage（掩盖）their true feelings, thus causing their friends to disregard problems that should be viewed as serious. In the United States, a network of centers has been created to attempt to prevent suicides.People who are bitter, worded, or depressed are encouraged to contact workers at these centers. These workers, often trained volunteers, offer benevolent advice to the callers, trying to help the callers to see that suicide as a solutions to problems is an illusion. The accomplishments of these centers, insofar（到这个程度）as their effectiveness to reduce suicide is concerned, are minimal However, they have helped a lot of people with a wide variety of problems.So, in the somewhat amorphous（难以名状的）area of man helping his fellow man, they are certainly a success. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article？ A.The classical Greeks did not know the existence of suicide B.Suicide has always been prevalent in all parts of the world C.In today’s society, there are quite a number of people who commit suicide D.Nowadays suicide is not as common as it was in the past Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a motive for suicide？A.Insanity B.Pressure C.The need for attention D.Great anger Which of the following statements is NOT true？A.People who want to take their own lives often disguise their feelings B.It is difficult to describe what kind of people tend to commit suicide C.Suicide has been a problem in most societies since ancient times D.People who commit suicide all share certain characteristics The word “benevolent” means （）A.relevant B.kind C.serious D.effective The third paragraph mainly tells us that （）A.a network of centers has been quite effective in reducing suicide B.a network of centers has been quite successful in reducing suicide C.people are making efforts to help those who tend to commit suicide and in a way, they are successful D.in theUnited States, people who want to commit suicide call a network of centers to get help

Without question, manufacturing has taken a significant hit during recent decades, and further tradedeals raise questions about whether new shocks could hit manufacturing. But there is also a different way to look at the data. Across the country, factory owners are now grappling with a new challenge: instead of having toomany workers, they may end up with too few. Despite trade competition and outsourcing, Americanmanufacturing still needs to replace tens of thousands of retiring boomers every years. Millennialsmay not be that interested in taking their place, other industries are recruiting them with similar orbetter pay. For factory owners, it all adds up to stiff competition for workers－and upward pressure on wages. "They&amp;39;re harder to find and they have job offers," says Jay Dunwell, president of Wolverine CoilSpring, a family-owned firm, "They may be coming [into the workforce], but they&amp;39;ve been pluckedby other industries that are also doing an well as manufacturing," Mr. Dunwell has begun bringinghigh school juniors to the factory so they can get exposed to its culture. At RoMan Manufacturing, a maker of electrical transformers and welding equipment that his fathercofounded in 1980, Robert Roth keep a close eye on the age of his nearly 200 workers, five areretiring this year. Mr. Roth has three community-college students enrolled in a work-placementprogram, with a starting wage of $13 an hour that rises to $17 after two years. At a worktable inside the transformer plant, young Jason Stenquist looks flustered by the coppercoils he&amp;39;s trying to assemble and the arrival of two visitors. It&amp;39;s his first week on the job. Askedabout his choice of career, he says at high school he considered medical school before switching toelectrical engineering. "I love working with tools. I love creating." he says. But to win over these young workers, manufacturers have to clear another major hurdle: parents,who lived through the worst US economic downturn since the Great Depression, telling them toavoid the factory. Millennials "remember their father and mother both were laid off. They blame iton the manufacturing recession," says Birgit Klohs, chief executive of The Right Place, a businessdevelopment agency for western Michigan. These concerns aren&amp;39;t misplaced: Employment in manufacturing has fallen from 17 million in 1970to 12 million in 2013. When the recovery began, worker shortages first appeared in the high-skilledtrades. Now shortages are appearing at the mid-skill levels. " The gap is between the jobs that take to skills and those that require a lot of skill," says Rob Spohr,a business professor at Montcalm Community College. "There&amp;39;re enough people to fill the jobs atMcDonalds and other places where you don&amp;39;t need to have much skill. It&amp;39;s that gap in between, andthat&amp;39;s where the problem is." Julie Parks of Grand Rapids Community points to another key to luring Millennials intomanufacturing: a work/life balance. While their parents were content to work long hours, youngpeople value flexibility. "Overtime is not attractive to this generation. They really want to live theirlives," she says. A、says that he switched to electrical engineering because he loves working with tools。 B、 points out that there are enough people to fill thejobs that don ’t need much skill 。 C、points out that the US doesn’t manu facture anything anymore。 D、believes that it is important to keep a close eye on the age of his workers。 [E] says that for factory owners，workers are harder to find because of stiff competition。 [F] points out that a work/life balance can attract young people into manufacturing。 [G] says that the manufacturing recession is to15 blame for the lay-off the young people’s parents 。 41.Jay Deuwell______________ 42.Jason Stenquist______________ 43.Birgit Klohs______________ 44.Rob Spohr______________ 45.Julie Parks______________ 41__________ 42 43 44 45
