2013高考英语二轮(文章题)训练(3)及答案 The home service industry in Beijing is expected to become more attractive both as a job and as an industry. Sources at the Beijing People’s Political Consultative Conference said resistance to home service work is melting away from minds of the city’s laidoff workers. The Conference suggested the establishment of municipal (市政的) centers which supervise property management, household mending and installation, and house keeping services. Modern city life is creating a need for home services. This will create job opportunities for laidoff workers, said vice director of the Social Judicial Committee of the Conference. Beijing residents have long desired a home service industry. The demand is expected to drive new economic growth. There are few high quality home help services in Beijing and customers are always complaining. In the past, few laidoff workers worked as home helpers, jobs largely taken by young women from the countryside. At the same time, some city residents have not felt safe trusting rural girls with modern household machines or with their small children. Many people would pay more for reliable house keepers who are more familiar with city life, but they have had no way of getting one, even though the city is home to thousands of laidoff workers. By the end of June this year, there were 30, 600 jobless workers in the city. Most of them are women in their 40’s, who are not blessed with particular skills and who have had their work ethics shaped by the planned economy. Many of them were at a loss when they first realized they had lost their jobs and a way of life they had got used to for decades. They never imagined being laidoff by state; they never considered other kinds of employment. For them, the private sector (领域) meant taking risks; housekeeping implied lower social status. Gao Yunfang, 44, is a pioneer who is breaking the ice. She sells the Beijing Morning Post in the morning, and works at two households in the afternoon. She earns 1, 000 yuan per month. So she no longer worries about her daughter’s tuition at a university in Shanghai. 29. What is talked about in the passage? A. Home service. B. Modern city life. C. Laidoff workers. D. Social status. 30. Why didn’t the laidoff workers like to do home services in the past? A. Low salary. B. Lower social status. C. Dirty working condition. D. Too much extra work. 31. Why were many laidoff workers at a loss? A. Because they didn’t get used to the new way of life. B. Because they are too old to find a new job. C. Because they dislike being laidoff. D. Because they think they lost their social status. 32. In which ways is home service industry good for our society? A. It meets the needs of modern life. B. It provides work opportunities for the laidoff workers C. It is a new industry. D. A and B. 29.【解析】选A。主旨大意题。文章开头就点明:家庭服务行业预计在北京无论作为就业岗位还是作为产业都将更具吸引力,对家庭服务行业的抵制正在北京下岗工人的脑海中逐渐消失。接下来分析了北京市服务业的现状:一方面北京市的居民急需家庭服务人员但是对于农村来的年轻女性不放心;另一方面北京市很多四十多岁无技术的女性又遭遇下岗,因此家庭服务业前景广阔。由此可知本文的中心在于Home service,故选A。 30.【解析】选B。细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段第二句For them, the private sector meant taking risks; housekeeping implied lower social status. 可知,北京市下岗工人过去不喜欢从事家庭服务行业是因为家政服务意味着较低的地位。 31.【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据文章倒数第三段最后一句Many of them were at a loss when they first realized they had lost their jobs and a way of life they had got used to for decades. 可知,下岗工人感到茫然是因为她们失去了自己的工作和已经习惯了几十年的生活方式,即她们不习惯新的生活方式。 32.【解析】选D。推理判断题。纵观全文可知,家庭服务产业一方面满足了现代生活中城市居民对于这一行业的需要,另一方面也为下岗工人提供了就业机会,故选D。 *****************************************************************结束 Ⅰ. 完形填空 “So teach him to close the door”, my daughter Emma responded after listening to me 1 , again, about the dog coming in from the back door, bringing with him a blast of Buffalo January 2 air.
