The figure shows that the working population is now at a peak，so it is urgent for the country to employ these rich labour resources in economic construction. Experts usually regard men between the ages of 15 and 59，and women between 15 and 54，as people capable of working. The employed workforce is the total number employed among those capable of working. According to the census，the employment rates for the three age groups，20 to 24；25 to 29；and 30 to 34，are respectively 91，94. 4 and 94. 9. The unemployment rate in urban areas for people over 15 years of age is 2.5 percent. The survey has also shown that Chinas workforce has become younger. Its average age is 33. 7 years and about 50 percent of the employed workers are under 30. It is reckoned by the experts that younger workers are easy to teach new and modern technologies and management too. But they lack experience compared with old workers. They urge enterprises to strengthen technical training among young workers and promote vocational education with the aim of improving workers quality. ( )33.

For example, most American storytellers get their tales from a wide variety of sources, cultures, and times. They regard storytelling not only as a useful tool in child education, but also as a meaningful activity that helps adults understand themselves as well as those whose culture may be very different from their own.“Most local stories are based on a larger theme,” American storyteller Opalanga Pugh says, “Cinderella(灰姑娘),or the central idea of a good child protected by he goodness, appears in various forms in almost every culture of the world.”Working with students in schools, Pugh helps them understand their own cultures and the general messages of the stories. She works with prisoners too, helping them know who they are by telling stories that he listeners can write, direct, and act in their own lives. If they dont like the story they are living, they can rewrite the story. Pugh also works to help open up lines of communication between managers and workers. “For every advance in business,” she says, “there is a greater need for communication.” Storytelling can have a great effect on either side of the manager-worker relationship, she says.Pugh spent several years in Nigeria, where she learned how closely storytelling was linked to the everyday life of the people there. The benefits of storytelling are found everywhere, she says.“I learned how people used stories to spread their culture,” she says. “What I do is to focus on the value of stories that people can translate into their own daily world of affairs. We are all storytellers. We all have a story to tell. We tell everybodys story.”( ) 38. What do we learn about American storytellers from Paragraph 2? A. They share the same way of storytelling.B. They prefer to tell stories from other cultures.C. They learn their stories from the American natives.D. They find storytelling useful for both children and adults.( ) 39. The underlined sentence (Paragraph 4) suggests that prisoners can ? A. start a new life B. settle down in another placeC. direct films D. become good actors( ) 40. Pugh has practiced storytelling with groups of people. A. 2 B. 3 C. 4 D. 5( ) 41. What is the main idea of the text? A. Storytelling can influence the way people think.B. Storytelling is vital to the growth of businesses.C. Storytelling is the best way to educate children in school.D. Storytelling helps people understand themselves and others.D I began working in journalism when I was eight. It was my mothers idea. She wanted me to “make something” of myself, and decided I had better start young if I was to have any chance of keeping up with the competition. With my load of magazines I headed toward Belleville Avenue. The crowds were there. There were two gas stations on the corner of Belleville and Union. For several hours I made myself highly visible, making sure everyone could see me and the heavy back letters on the bag that said THE SATURDAY EVENING POST. When it was suppertime, I walked back home. “How many did you sell, my boy?” my mother asked. “None.” “Where did you go?” “The corner of Belleville and Union Avenues.” “What did you do?” “Stood on the corner waiting for somebody to buy a Saturday Evening Post.” “You just stood there?”“Didnt sell a single one.”“My God, Russell!” Uncle Allen put in, “Well, Ive decided to take the Post.” I handed him a copy and he paid me a nickel(五分镍币). It was the first nickel I earned. Afterwards my mother taught me how to be a salesman. I would have to ring doorbells, address adults with self-confidence, and persuade them by saying that no one, no matter how poor, could afford to be without the Saturday Evening Post in the home. One day, I told my mother Id changed my mind. I didnt want to make a success in the magazine business. “If you think you can change your mind like this,” she replied, “youll become a good-for-nothing.” She insisted that, as soon as school was over, I should start ringing doorbells, selling magazines. Whenever I said no, she would scold me. My mother and I had fought this battle almost as long as I could remember. My mother, dissatisfied with my fathers plain workmans life, determined that I would not grow up like him and his people. But never did she expect that, forty years later, such a successful journalist as me would go back to her husbands people for true life and love.( ) 42. Why did the boy start his job young/ A.

More and more middle school students are going to all kinds of training classes or having family teachers at the weekend. There are two different viewpoints about it.Some think it is necessary. First of all, its more effective to study with a teacher than by students themselves. Secondly, it can strengthen what is learnt in class. Besides, they can learn a lot more. Others think it is unnecessary. For one thing, students can easily form the habit of dependence. For another, students need to relax from time to time. Whats more ,the purpose of many training classes and family teachers is to make money.In my opinion, whether a training class or family teacher is needed just depends. If you are really very weak at or interested in a certain subject, maybe its OK for you. But be sure to choose a good and suitable class or family teacher, or it would be a waste of time and money.2013乐清中学实验班提前招生英语试卷答题卷班级 姓名 考号 一单项选择（15%） 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 二 完形填空（15%） 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 三、阅读理解：（32%）31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. 44. 45. 46. 四改错（10%）47. 48. 49. 50. 51. 52. 53. 54. 55. 56. 五综合填空（10%）57. 58. 59. 60. 61. 62. 63. 64. 65. 66. 六书面表达（18% 其中3分为卷面分）目前，越来越多的中学生周末参加各种各样的培训或请家教。对于这一现象，存在两种不同观点：有些人认为有必要另一些人认
