Section II Reading Comprehension
Part A
Text 1
21、【答案】B encourage jobseekers’ active engagement in job seeking
【解析】细节题。文中首段首句 "in order to "change lives for the better" and reduce "dependency…"交代了George Osborne计划的目的,即 "改善生活,减少依赖性"。这与选项B鼓励积极寻找工作是一致的。
22、【答案】C to register for an allowance from the government
【解析】词义题。根据本句与sign on的上一句,可以得知"求职者7天后方可得到津贴",接下来,"这段时间他们应该去找工作,不应该sign on"。可以推测出,他们不应该依赖于政府的津贴,与答案C吻合。
23、【答案】D A passion to ensure fairness for taxpayers
【解析】细节题。根据第二段最后一句可知,句子主语what motivated him…was his zeal for "fundamental fairness"-----protecting the taxpayer, controlling spending and ensuring that only the most deserving claimants received their benefits"题干what prompted the chancellor to develop his scheme对应文中what motivated him,答案D是"his zeal for "fundamental fairness"-----protecting the taxpayer"的改写。
24、【答案】A uneasy
【解析】细节题。第四段首句与题干一致,轻松定位,得出losing a job is hurting,意思"丢掉工作不好,有伤害",因此得出A,uneasy
25、【答案】D unemployment benefits should not be made conditional
【解析】观点态度题。依据全文最后一句,作者认为现在的救济补助金是one of the least generous意思是"最吝啬的,最少的";之前又有conditional, 作者认为现在补助金是"有条件的"。综合得出答案D。
