Text 1 Foreign cashiers and carers are now a fact oflife in Japan,especially in urban areas.The number of foreign workers has risen fast recently,t0 1.3m-some 2%of the workforce.Although visas that allow foreigners to settle in Japan are in theory mainly for highly skilled workers,in practice those with fewer skills may be admitted as students or trainees or as immigrants of Japanese extraction.In June the govemment announced that it would create a"designated-skills"visa in order to bring in 500,000 new workers by 2025,in agriculture,construction,hotels,nursing and shipbuilding.Japan has historically been cautious of admitting foreigners.It is one of the rich world's most homogenous countries:just 2%of residents are foreigners,compared with 4%in South Korea and 16%in France.The reasons for this attitude range from fears that outsiders will bring crime and damage societal practices,to concerns that Japanese residents will not be able to communicate properly with them.But Japan's population is old and getting smaller.To fill shortages in the labour force caused by the shrinking working-age population,govemment policy has focused on getting more women and old people into work,and using artificial intelligence.It has become apparent though that this is not enough;and businesses also want foreigners to help them remain competitive and to become more global.Indeed pressure from business is a big reason behind the change of tack.Over the past 20 years the number of workers under 30 has shrunk by a quarter.Another result of the greying population is the creation of ever more jobs,most notably as carers,that few Japanese want to do at the wages on offer.There are 60%more job vacancies than there are people looking for work.Industries such as agriculture and construction,as well as nursing,are increasingly dependent on foreigners.More exposure to foreigners,through a boom in tourism,has reassured Japanese,especially the young,that they can get along with them,too.Attracting the foreign workers Japan needs will not necessarily be easy.Language is a big barrier.Japanese-language abilities are not necessary for highly skilled workers wanting visas,but only a handful of companies work in English.Lowlier workers,who must pass a Japanese exam,are currallowed to bring their families and will not be able to under the"designated-skills"visa.Firms in which promotion is based on seniority rather than merit and in which long hours are the norm will find it hard to attract workers,too.Japan also needs to do more to help integrate foreigners.By accepting,for the most part,a small number of highly skilled workers,Japan has been able to get away without any inteUation policy.But as the number ofimmigrants rises,and especially as more low-skilled workers are admitted,this omission threatens to bring about some of the very concems that prompted the govemment to restrict immigration in the first place,such as ghettoisation and poverty.

考题 The opportunity to study abroad should be something that sounds very exciting. For most students, going abroad is a life-changing experience. There are benefits for the host country as well. Not only do foreign students spend money on tuition, housing, food and clothing, but they also often take home positive impressions of their stay and the people they met.But Japan, which hosts over 100,000 foreign students a year, is having trouble making the most of its foreign students. “I’ve been here for three years,” says a 26-year-old Chinese student in Osaka. “I don’t have any Japanese friends, I’ve never been invited to a Japanese home, and I’ve never felt very welcome here.”That’s hardly the kind of impression that the Japanese government wants foreign students taking home to their families and classmates, but it seems to be a widespread sentiment(情感). One newspaper complained that, “If foreign students tell everyone how they hate this country when they go home, we should ask for what purpose we are hosting them to begin with.”Many of the students arrive with hopes to learn Japanese and stay on for a few years working for a Japanese company. However, that doesn’t always work out. Many foreign students graduate from a Japanese university only to discover that “Japanese companies don’t hire foreigners because they think they cannot trust non-Japanese people,” says one job-seeker from the Philippines.This is a problem for universities. With the Japanese birth rate one of the lowest in the world, Japanese schools are turning to foreign students to fill their classrooms.The government has actively tried to increase the number of foreign students, up from fewer than 10,000 only 20 years ago. But, as one student in Tokyo says, “Japan’s policy is one of persuading people to come and then dissuading them from staying.”1). According to the author, studying abroad ________.A. does good to most foreign students and the host countryB. ensures a chance to get promotedC. has a great effect on most foreign studentsD. both A and C2). How is life in Japan in the eyes of most foreign students?A. Helpful and meaningful.B. Busy yet attractive.C. Boring and disappointing.D. Tiring yet rewarding.3). The word “dissuading” in the last paragraph probably means ________ .A. discouragingB. encouragingC. advisingD. informing4). Which of the following is NOT true?A. Japan is one of the countries with the lowest birth rate worldwide.B. The present situation in Japan lies in the slow action by the government.C. It is almost impossible for foreign graduates to work in Japanese companies.D. learning Japanese and having work experience are the hopes of many arrivals.5). A suitable title for this passage might be ________.A. Poor Reception in JapanB. Japanese Foreign PoliciesC. Japanese Shifting PopulationD. Successful Careers in Japan

考题 China has the most franchises in the world but the scale of their operations is relatively small. Each system in China has an average of 43 outlets, compared to more than 540 in the United States. Together, there are 2,600 brands in some 200,000 retail markets. KFC was the most significant foreign entry in 1987 and is widespread. Many franchises are in fact joint-ventures, as at their forming the franchise law was not explicit. For example, McDonald's is a joint venture. Pizza Hut, TGIF, Wal-mart, Starbucks followed a little later. But total franchising is only 3% of retail trade, which seeks foreign franchise growth. The year 2005 saw the birth of an updated franchise law, “Measures for the Administration of Commercial Franchise”. Previous legislation (1997) made no specific inclusion of foreign investors. Today the franchise law is much clearer by virtue of the 2007 law, a revision of the 2005 law. The laws are applicable if there are transactions involving a trademark combined with payments with many obligations on the franchisor. The law comprises 42 articles and eight chapters.1. According to the passage, the passage mainly talks about ().A. the scale of franchising in ChinaB. the franchise law in ChinaC. an outline of franchising in China2. KFC was the () foreign franchise to China in 1987 and is widespread.A. most profoundB. firstC. wealthiest3. Many franchises are in fact joint-ventures, because ().A. at the beginning stage, franchise law was not so clearB. at the beginning stage, many franchises could not find the right partnersC. many foreigners were not familiar with Chinese culture4.

考题 共用题干 Tightened Visa RegulationsAccording to South Korea's new visa regulations,native speakers of English in South Korea will be required to undergo criminal record checks,medical and drug tests,provide sealed academic transcripts(成绩单)and have their university diplomas inspected,The Korea Times has reported.The tightened regulations will affect an estimated 17,000 foreigners that hold E-2 visas specifically for foreign language teachers.The most controversial requirement is that English teachers residing(居住)outside South Korea will have to have an interview at a South Korean Embassy before taking up their teaching posts. For applicants living in remote areas in Canada,Australia or the US,this is an additional travel burden .Meanwhile,foreign teachers currently living in South Korea must leave the country after their one-year contracts and renew their visas by visiting a neighboring country and return without additional documentation(文件证据).The visa changes are a reaction to public concern about the suitability of some foreign teachers .A report from the South Korean Ministry of Education and Human Resources Development shows between 2001 and August of this year,1,481 foreign language teachers have been caught for a range of offenses including forged(伪造的)degrees , visa violations and general lawbreak-ing.But the changes are likely to slow up the supply of teachers to South Korea's English language education sector. According to Michael Duffy,manager of a teacher placement service in South Korea,applicants have to spend a few hundred dollars and several months on getting affidavits(书面陈述书)for documents. " South Korea has put up too many hoops(圈)to jump through,"he said,adding that foreigners would seek work elsewhere.Most foreigners wonder if the experience of working in South Korea will be worth the burden of the paper work and increasing restrictions."I don't think(South)Korea has thought this through."Said Scott Mclnnis,a Canadian teacher based in Incheon near Seoul."This is a reactionary move by the government that will have strong implications for the EFL community."As part of the efforts to ease the discontent(不满),the South Korean Ministry of Justice has granted a three-month grace period for current E-2 visa holders to prepare the necessary docu- ments. The new visa policy aims at______.A: protecting South Korea from terrorist attacks.B: improving foreign language teaching in South Korea.C: providing more job opportunities for the South Korean people.D: encouraging the South Korean people to learn the Chinese language.
