The word originated in the UK in the 1980s, and the phenomenon is now in China.“Most of the NEET people are the first generation of China’s one child policy，”believes Sun Yunxiao, a specialist with the China Youth Research Centre. Born in the late 1970s and 1980s, they are called the “little emperor” of the family and have grown up under attentions of parents and grandparents, which often prove to be boring as well as unnecessary. Many have got used to life under others’support instead of creating their own. To make matters worse, they are also the products of test-guided education, few having strong professional or social skills.Until now there are still no official statistics (统计) of NEET numbers in China, but according to one statistic issued at the 2005 NPC session, the number of young unemployed has for the first time surpassed laid-off workers in China, and 70 percent of these people, many with academic degrees, are dependent on their parents.To reduce NEET numbers, Sun Yunxiao insists that it is important to change Chinese parents’thinking. Instead of arranging everything for their children, parents should help them learn to manage their own lives at an early age.Li Tianguo, a researcher at the Labour Science Study Institute, suggested that all middle schools and colleges should strengthen development education, opening classes of personal career design while increasing students’time for social activities. Society should also set up special organizations to help NEETs learn professional skills and provide psychological (心理的) and even financial help to get them back to work.1．What do we know about the term “NEET”？A．It’s the name of an organization.B．It was originated in China.C．It might be “need” and “eat” joining together.D．It’s a word formed in the same way as USA.解析：选D词义猜测题。

阶段质量检测(一) Unit 1Breaking recordsA卷学业水平达标【说明】本试卷满分120分，考试时间100分钟Ⅰ.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)AEvery day we experience one of the wonders of the world around us without even realizing it. It is not the amazing complexity of television, nor the impressive technology of transport. The universal wonder we share and experience is our ability to make noises with our mouths，and so transmit ideas and thoughts to each other's minds. This ability comes so naturally that we tend to forget what a miracle (奇迹) it is.Obviously, the ability to talk is something that marks humans off from animals. Of course, some animals have powers just as amazing.Birds can fly thousands of miles by observing positions of the stars in the sky in relation to the time of day and year. In Nature's talent show, humans are a species of animal that have developed their own special act. If we reduce it to basic terms, it's an ability for communicating information to others, by varying sounds we make as we breathe out.Not that we don't have other powers of communication. Our facial expressions convey our emotions, such as anger, or joy, or disappointment.The way we hold our heads can indicate to others whether we are happy or sad. This is socalled “body language”. Bristling (直立的) fur is an unmistakable warning of attack among many animals. Similarly, the bowed head or drooping tail shows a readiness to take second place in any animal gathering.Such a means of communication is a basic mechanism that animals, including human beings, instinctively acquire and display. Is the ability to speak just another sort of instinct? If so, how did human beings acquire this amazing skill? Biologists can readily indicate that particular area of our brain where speech mechanisms function, but this doesn't tell us how that part of our bodies originated in our biological history.A．our ability to use languageB．the miracle of technologyC．the amazing power of natureD．our ability to make noises with mouth解析：选A细节理解题。

Why plants always seem to turn towards the light and climbing plants run up rather than down? The answer is simple: auxin(生长素)，a chemical substance that controls growth in plants.Auxin gives away its secretsAuxin is a plant hormone(激素)．Darwin was already interested in it in the 19th century.Only in recent years，however，has the hormone started to give away its secrets，thanks to intensive molecular research.Auxin is produced in the young，growing parts of plants and then transportedthroughout the plant—to a lowlying stem for example.The stem needs to straighten out as soon as possible to be able to absorb the topside，resulting in the underside growing faster and the stem straightening out.For the same reason，plants in front of windows will always turn to the light.This active regulation of auxin transport allows plants to take ideal advantage of local and changing conditions.A new means of transport for auxinThe transport of auxin through the plant plays a vital role.And，from all appearances，it is not a simple matter.The researchers identified an important new link and means of transport for auxin: PILS proteins (蛋白质)．PILS proteins are vital for auxindependent plant growth and adjust the intracellular(细胞内的)storage of the hormone.It is exactly this compartmentalizing (分类) of auxin that seems functionally important for the various developmental processes.Growing crops more efficiently: the right amount of auxin in the right placeHigher auxin levels at the right moment and in the right place result in better growth and greater harvest.Better adjustment of auxin levels would make plants grow more efficiently.The researchers hope to contribute to the development of more efficient growing processes by continuing to sort out auxin transport processes.【语篇解读】本文讲述了现代研究条件下对于植物生长素(auxin)的研究成果。

So, after our baby was born, I chose to stay at home and take care of the family while my wife works fulltime outside the home，”said Yang.Sociologists have found the full-time househusband emerges in three main situations.Firstly, if the wife is ambitious, well-paid and has good job prospects, while her husband is paid poorly and has no job prospects, it makes economic sense for the woman to become the main income earner for the household. Secondly, if the wife is tired of household chores and eager to work outside the home, her husband may forfeit his job. Thirdly, if the husband can do his work at home, he may take this choice as it allows him more time to take care of the family.Influenced by traditional ideas, some families with full-time househusbands prefer others not to know about their arrangement, concerned people would laugh at a husband with “no prospects” or wife who is “too strong”．Zhou Wei said he has become usual to being a full-time househusband although his relatives doubted this when they gathered during the holidays. “A happy life is the most important thing, not other peoples’opinions，” added Zhou.1．The reason for Yang Wenhui quitting his job is that ________.A．it is too difficult for him to do itB．it is too boring for him to do itC．he is too old to go on doing itD．his wife wanted him to quit it解析：选B细节理解题。

His father was a JewishItalian businessman who met his Belgian actress mother during the Nazi occupation of Paris.As The New Yorker magazine put it, Europeans born in 1945 share a condition －they escaped the war, but “not the taint (污点)of the war”．Modiano's life has been influenced by Nazi Germany's occupation during the war, and his family's connections to it. According to New Yorkbased newspaper Forward, his father survived the war dishonorably.When Paris' Jews were brought together to be sent to concentration camps, the businessman did not join them but spent the time making money from deals with Nazis on the black market.“The novelist has a duty to record the lives of the people who have disappeared，the people who were made to disappear，” French writer Clemence Boulouque, also an expert in Jewish studies, told The New Yorker magazine.In his more than three dozen novels, Modiano has returned again and again to the same themes：Jewishness, the Nazi occupation, and the loss of identity. His characters collect pieces of old evidence, handwriting, photographs, police files, and newspaper cuttings.His most admired novel, Missing Person, is a good example. It's the story about a detective who has lost his memory. He tries to find out who he really is by following his own steps through history.Although Modiano's win is a surprise outside France，people are celebrating in his home country.Modiano is the 15th French literature winner. After Le Clezio's 2008 win, it seemed unlikely that there would be another so soon.【语篇解读】本文为记叙文。

However, at the back of the minds of many people, especially those who miss the “good old days”， efficiency comes with a price.When communication becomes more efficient, people are able to contact one another no matter where they are and at whatever time they wish to.The click of a button allows people miles apart to talk or see each other without even leaving their homes.With the communication gadgets,_such as mobile phones and ipads, people often do not take the effort to visit one another personally.A personal visit carries with it the additional feature of having to be in the person's presence for as long as the visit 3
lasts.We cannot unnecessarily excuse ourselves or turn the other person off. With efficiency also comes mass production.Such is the nature of factories and the success of industrialization today.Factories have improved efficiency.Unskillful tasks are left to machines and products are better made and produced with greater accuracy than any human hand could ever have done.However, with the improvements in efficiency also comes the loss of the personal touch when making these products.For example, many handicrafts (手工艺品) are now produced in a factory. Although this means that supply is better able to increase demand, now that the supply is quick and efficient, the demand might fall because mass production lowers the quality of the handicraft and it is difficult to find unique designs on each item. Nevertheless, we must not commit the mistake of analyzing progress only from one point of view.In fact, progress has allowed tradition to keep up.It is only with progress and the invention of new technology that many old products can be brought back to their old state.New technology is required for old products to stay old. It is people's attitude towards progress that causes the type of influence that technology has on society.Technology is flexible.There is no fixed way of making use of it.Everything depends on people's attitude.The worst effects of progress will fall on those who are unable to rethink their attitudes and views of society.When we accept progress and adapt it to suit our needs, a new“past” is created. 语篇解读：科技的进步给我们带来了便捷的同时，也有一定的弊端。是人们的态度决定着科技对社会的进步起推进作用还是阻挠作用。 5．The underlined word “gadgets” in Para. 2 is closest in meaning to“________”． A．tools B．messages C．barriers D．skills 解析：选A 词义猜测题。根据第二段“such as mobile phones and ipads”可知gadgets为“工具”。 6．Compared with home-made handicrafts, machine-made products________.
