Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage. The problem of leisure is new. Until very recent times people worked each day to the limit of their strength. Of course there were always a privileged (有特权的)few who had leisure; but most men had to work 12， 14， or even 16 hours a day， six days a week. As late as 1840 the average factory worker labored 72 ho-urs a week. “Sunup to sundown” was the farmer‘s day， or as another phrase puts it， “from can to can’t.”Today， working less than a 40-hour week， people enjoy more leisure time. Hence， the wise use of leisure time has become an important problem for everyone， young or old. It is a particularly difficult problem forthe sick， the aged， and those who have retired from earning a living. Those pe-ople have so much leisure that it is hard for them to find interesting and wor-thwhile ways to use it . However short the work week becomes， work is still the most important part of life. We do not work to get leisure and the pleasures leisure brings us; rather，we use leisure wisely so that work itself can become awarding and enjoyable. Thefeeling of success at doing one‘s daily work-whether it is a job， maintaining ahome， or going to school-depends largely on coming to it each day with fresh en-ergy and active interest.Leisure and recreation (消遗)go together， 很多同学想考研，毕业后考公务员。当然，大学毕业生也可以考，但是选择范围很小，限制很多。如果真的打算考研考公务员，建议先报本科，会减少很多障碍。还可以考很多含金量高的证书，比如人力资源管理师，国家法律职业资格证书等...有些同学因为高考失利，想参加自考，不愿意放弃，不愿意通过自学改变命运。有的同学遇到职业规划瓶颈，通过自学找到出路，在职场东山再起。有同学专版考砸了，想考本科证书。大家都在为自己争取更好的发展机会和更广阔的发展平台。 though they are not necessarily the same thing. “Recreation” has and obvious meaning.It is the kind of leisure activity that brings “re-creation” of strength and spirit. |When one speaks of making good use of leisure， he means choosing recreational activities which contribute to health， growth， and spirit.

Passage Two
Questions 本科学历比专科学历找工作优势明显，很多理想的工作机会会随着专科学历在无形中流失。当然，高学历并不一定导致成功的职业生涯。很多没有学历的人创业和别人一样成功。但在当今社会，学历越高，工作机会越多，成长空间越大，发展速度越快。工资定级:我国国家机关和事业单位基本都是根据学历来定工资的。本科工资比专科工资高一个档次，比较规范的企业也是根据学历来定工资。比如在苏州上海深圳的外资企业或者国内知名企业工作，本科工资比专科工资高500元以上是很正常的。而且比大专工资有更多的奖金和晋升机会。当然，有些企业，尤其是一些未成型的企业，并不是按照学历来定岗的。 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
Each nation has its own peculiar character which distinguishes it from others. But the peoples of the world have more points in common than points in which t-hey differ. One type of person that is common in every country is the one who always tries to do as little as possible and to get as much as possible in ret-urn. His opposite， the man who is in the habit of doing more than is strictly necessary and who is ready to accept what is offered in return， is rare everyw-here.Both these types are usually unconscious of their character. The man who avoids effort is always talking about his “rights”: he appears to think that s-ociety owes him a pleasant， easy life. The man who is always doing more than h-is share talks of “duties”: he feels that the individual is in debt to society，and not society to the individual. As a result of their views， neither of thesemen thinks that he behaves 考试安排很灵活。各科考生可根据自身实际情况灵活选择报考课程数量，自主安排学习时间和学习方法。必要时可转其他专业或报考相同名称和要求的课程，合格成绩可在全国不同专业使用。同时，根据考试机构公布的专业考试计划和课程自学考试大纲，相关助学单位举办多种形式的社会助学活动，帮助考生学习。 at all strangely.The man who tries to do as little ashe can is always full of excuses: if he has neglected to do something， it was because he had a headache， or the weather was too hot -or too cold- or because he was prevented by bad luck. At first， other people， such as his friends and hisemployer， generously accept his stories; but soon they realize what kind of per-son he is .In the long run he deceives only himself. When his friends become cooltowards him and he fails to make progress in his job， he is surprised and hurt. He blames everyone and everything except himself. He feels that society is fai-ling in its duties towards him， and that he is being unjustly treated. 26.The central idea of Paragraph 1 is that __________.
[a]each nation is peculiar enough to enable us to distinguish it from others
[b]the peoples of the world are as alike as they are different
[c]the peoples of the world have more similarities than differences
[d]those who do more than is strictly necessary are common in every 自考是目前学历最高的形式(统招除外)，受到国企、大单位、一线城市的高度认可。很多人认为大学学历没用，只要有工作能力就行。现实是，你有能力。你的同事呢？他们只是白痴吗？中国最需要的是人。那么问题来了。当你面临升职机会的时候，你和同事一样有能力，可以做人。那么谁会被提拔呢？必须是高度，这是人力资源管理的基本原则。 country

Passage Three
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage. The government may control prices when where is a problem such as rapidly incr-easing rents or a rise in the cost of living. When the government controls pri-ces， there is no longer a normal relationship between the price of a product andthe quantity consumers will buy. Government controls may help in an emergency (紧急情况)。However， some economists believe that controls can have negative e-ffects over a long period of time.In cities with rent control， the city govern-ment sets the maximum rent that a landlord (房主)can charge for an apartment.S-upporters of rent control argue that it protects people who are living in apar-tments. Their rent cannot increase; therefore，they are not in danger of losing their homes. However， the critics (批评者) say that after a long time， rent co-ntrol may have negative effects. Landlords know that they cannot increase theirprofits. Therefore， they invest in other businesses where they can increase th-eir profits. They do not invest in new buildings which would also be rentcontr-olled. As a result， new apartments are not built. Many people who need apartmentscannot find any. According to the critics， the end result of rent control is a shortage of apartments in the city.Economic theory predicts the results of eco-nomic decisions such as decisions about rent control， price control and the mi-nimum wage. The predictions may be correct only if “other things are equal.”
Economists do not agree on some of the predictions. They also do not agree on the value of different decisions. Some economists support a particular decisionwhile others criticize it. Economists do agree， However， that there are no simpleanswers to economic questions.

[a]thanks to rent control， it would be easier for many to find apartments
[b]landlords may take back their apartments if the rent is too low
[c]the tighter the rent control is， the less new apartments will be built
[d]landlords will not invest in other businesses after price control is approvedby the government
33.Which of the following do all economists agree on ?
[a]controls can have negative effects over a long period of time.
[b]The government must take measures to control rent increase.
[c]The maximum rent system protects people who don‘t have their own houses.
[d]Economic questions are difficult to deal with.
