Her special area is called, public interest law".Many other lawyers represent only clients who can pay high fees.

But what happens to people who need legal help and cannot afford to pay these lawyers´fees?Public interest lawyers fill this need.

Because she is willing to take less money, her clients need the help, even if they can pay nothing at all.Some clients need legal help because stores have cheated them with faulty merchandise. Others are in unsafe apartments, or are threatened with eviction (驱逐,赶出) and have no place to go to. Their cases are called "civil" cases. Still others are accused of criminal acts, and seeking those public interest lawyers who handle "criminal" cases.

Perhaps he began by making sounds like those made by animals. Perhaps he grunted like a pig when he lifted something heavy. Perhaps he made sounds like those he heard all round him--water splashing, bees humming, a stone falling to the ground. Somehow he learned to make words. As the centuries went by, he made more and more new words. This is what we mean by language.People living in different countries made different kinds of words. Today there are about fifteen hundred different languages in the world. Each contains many thousands of words. A very large English dictionary, for example, contains four or five hundred thousand words. But we do not need all these. Only a few thousand words are used in everyday life.The words you know are called your vocabulary. You should try to make your vocabulary bigger. Read as many books as you can. There are plenty of books written in easy English for you to read. You will enjoy them. When you meet a new word, find it in your dictionary. Your dictionary is your most-useful book.第6题From this passage, we know thatA.man never made soundsB.man made animal soundsC.man used to be like animals to make soundsD.man learned from the animals to make sounds第7题The number of different languages spoken is aboutA.150B.1,500C.5000D.4000第8题People from different countriesA.made same wordsB.made different kinds of wordsC.had a same languageed some sounds第9题Man ______ to make sounds.ed wordsB.followed many things in natureC.lifted heavy thingsD.grunted like a pig第10题You can enlarge your vocabulary by ______A.reading more booksB.finding new words in dictionariesC.writing moreing the words in everyday life上一题下一题(11~15/共20题)Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are three passages in this part.

You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center."High tech" and "state of the art" are two expressions that describe the modern technology. High tech is just a shorter way of saying high technology. And high technology describes any invention, system of device that uses the newest ideas or discoveries of science and engineering. What is high tech? A computer is high tech. So is a communications satellite. A modern manufacturing (生产) system is surely high tech. High tech became a popular expression in the united States during the early 1980´s. Because of improvements in technology, people could buy many new kinds of products in American stores, such as home computers, microwave ovens, etc."State of the art" is something that is as modern as possible. It is a product that is based on the very latest methods and technology. Something that is "state of the art" is the newest possible design or product of a business or industry. A state of the art television set, for example, uses the modernest electronic design and parts. It is the best that one can buy."State of the art" is not a new expression. Engineers have used it for years, to describe the best and most modern way of doing something. Millions of Americans began to use the expression in the late 1970´s. The reason was the computer revolution. Every computer company claimed that its computers were "state of the art".Computer technology changed so fast that a state of the art computer today might be old tomorrow. The expression "state of the art" became as common and popular as computers themselves. Now all kinds of products are said to be "state of the art".第11题What is the purpose of the passage?A.To tell how "high tech" and "state of the art" have developed.B.To give examples of "high tech".C.To tell what "high tech" and "state of the art" are.D.To describe very modern technology.第12题What can we infer from the passage?A.American stores could provide new kinds of products to people.B.High tech describes a technology that is not traditional.C.State of the art is not as popular as "high tech".D.A modern plough pulled by oxen is "state of the art".第13题All the following examples are high tech except ______.A.a microwave ovenB.a home computerC.a hand pumpD.a satellite第14题Which of the following statements is not true?A.Since the computer revolution, the expression "state of the an" has become popular.B.State of the art means something that is the best one can buy.C.With the rapid development of computer, "state of the an" computer may easily become out of date.D.All kinds of products are "state of the art" nowadays.第15题The best title for the passage is ______.puter TechnologyB.High Tech and State of the ArtC.Most Advanced TechnologyD.Two New Expressions上一题下一题(16~20/共20题)Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished .statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.As any middle-class parent knows, unpaid work experience can give youngsters a valuable introduction to a secure job. The government has recognized it too, abandoning rules in 2011 that had formerly stopped 16 to 24-year-olds from doing unpaid work while claiming unemployment benefit. But moving from that to forcing them to work without pay in order to collect these benefits has proved a big step.More than one million young people in Britain are unemployed, the highest number since the mid-1980s. Keen both to cut the welfare bill and to avoid the depressed future wages that may result from early unemployment, the government has introduced an ambitious program of reform to get youngsters off welfare and into work. A key part of it is ensuring that no one gets benefit from the government for long; ministers are keen to avoid what happened after the early-1980s recession (衰退), when unemployment continued in some parts of the country for a long time after the economy began to improve.To help young people into work, ministers had persuaded lots of employers, including bakery chains, bookshops and supermarkets, to take on unemployed youths, who receive work experience but no pay, with the prospect of a proper job for those who shine. Some 35,000youngsters participated last year; half found paid work soon after finishing the scheme.The idea of getting young adults used to showing up for work is popular with voters: according to a survey published in February, about 60% of people support the program. Equally attractive was the option of compelling them to work: Under the existing arrangements youngsters could choose whether or not to accept a place, but if they dropped out after the end of the first week, they stood to lose up to two weeks´ benefits.Yet the scheme has also polarized(两极分化的) opinion; a third of people are consistently opposed. Following a noisy " Right to Work" campaign that accused employers of co-operating secretly with the government in " forced labor", several firms dropped out of the program. To prevent this from getting worse, Chris Grayling, an employment minister, admitted that young people could leave their work experience at any time without being punished for doing so. This not only halted the flight of employers (for now, at least) but also enabled him to announce that new firms have agreed to take part in the program.第16题According to the passage, young people in Britain________.A.are used to showing up for workB.value unpaid work very muchC.are always opposed to unpaid workD.could learn something about job security through unpaid work第17题According to the passage, which of the following is NOT TRUE?A.Most voters support the government´ s effort to help young people to work.B.Some people protest against the government´s attempt to force young people to work.C.There are more than one million young people who took part in the program.D.There are more than one million young people who are jobless.第18题According to the author, the British government is trying to________.A.punish young people if they are not cooperating with itB.reform the unemployed youngstersC.avoid the economic slowdownD.reduce welfare spending第19题The word "shine" in Paragraph 3 means "________".A.do wellB.reflect lightC.look happyD.produce light第20题Which of the following is an appropriate tide for this passage?A.Enjoy Work Without PayB.Can Work, Won´ t WorkC.Should Work, Shouldn´ t PlayD.Hate Work or Love Work上一题下一题Directions: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences.
