Passage One
第 3 页
In recent years many companies of the world have been faced with the problem of how to make their workers more productive. Some experts claim the answer is to make jobs more varied. But do more varied jobs lead to greater productivity? There is evidence to suggest that while variety certainly makes the worker’s life more enjoyable, it does not actually make him work harder. As far as increasing productivity is concerned, variety is not an important factor. Other experts feel that giving the worker freedom to do his job in his own way is important and there is no doubt that this is true. The problem is that this kind of freedom cannot easily be given in the modern factory with its complicated machines which must be used in a fixed way. Thus while freedom of choice may be important, there is usually very little that can be done to create it. Another important consideration is how much each worker contributes to the product he is making. In most factories the worker sees only one small part of the product. Some car factories are now experimenting with having many small production lines rather than one large one, so that each worker contributes more to the production of the cars on his line. It would seem that not only is the degree of workers’ contribution an important factor, therefore, but it is also one we can do something about.
To what extent does more money lead to greater productivity? The workers themselves certainly think this is important. But perhaps they want more money only because the work they do is so boring. Money just lets them enjoy their spare time more. A similar argument may explain demands for shorter working hours. Perhaps if we succeed in making their jobs more interesting, they will neither want more money, nor will shorter wirking hours be so important to them.
21. The passage is mainly about how to ____.
A. promote workers’ competition
B. meet worker’s need for variety
C. ensure workers’ right of choice
D. improve workers’ performance
22. According to the writer, variety enables a worker to _____.
A. derive more enjoyment from life
B. work in his own way more freely
C. fulfill his job requirements better
D. undertake greater responsibilities
23. We learn from the passage that freedom of choice _____.
第 4 页
A. can hardly function in a flexible manner
B. can hardly lead to increased productivity
C. is hardly seen as effective by companies
D. is hardly available in the modern factory
24. It can be inferred from the passage that, compared with large production lines, smaller ones give workers ____.
A. a greater variety of interesting tasks
B. a stronger sense of accomplishment
C. a better idea of the modern industry
D. a clearer picture of essential factors
25. According to the writer, higher pay can _____.
A. make tiring work more interesting
B. make up for longer working hours
C. help workers to live more happily
D. help to create greater procuctivity
Passage Two
We live in a technological society. Almost every aspect of life in the modern world is influenced (for better or worse) by technology . Communications, transportation, manufacturing, mining and exploration, the service industries, medicine, agriculture all are dominated by methods and apparatus which are the results of technological advances. The basis of technology is science. without the fundamental discoveries and understanding provided by science, technology would be hit-or-miss(随意的) affair, lacking direction and making little progress. One can argue that our society is beginning to suffer from too much technology, but we will never return to the primitive life of our ancestors – technology is with us and it will remain with us.
Just as it is important to study history so that we can appreciate how the world came to its present state, it is important to learn some of the basic concepts of science so that we can appreciate the role that technology plays in modern society. For without some knowledge of the scientific principles by which technology operates, one can neighter cope with technology nor assist in directing it into the proper channels.
In recent times, we have had the general attitude that whatever is technologically possible should be done. It is now
第 5 页
becoming increasingly apparent that our scientific and technological progress has outstripped (超越) our capacity to perform or absorb everything that is possible. More and more, we weill have decisions to make: in what directions should the thrust of our new discoveries be made? The situation requires that we make intelligent decisions –decisions based in a knowledge and an understanding of what can be done, what will be the benefits, and what weill be the comsequences. Scientists do not make these decisions; people make them. It is therefore incumbent (义不容辞的) on every individual to acquire the basic knowledge that weill permit him to participate intelligently in directing the course of our technological advancement.
26. According to the passage, technology can ____.
A. produce bad effects on society
B. suffer from hit-or-miss affairs
C. influence the course of science
D. restore life of the primitive age
27. According to the passage, one must learn basic concepts of science in order to ____.
A. assist in directing science in a proper way
B. contribute to the orientation of technology
C. discover the progress of science in history
D. find out about the existence of technology
28. Because the human capaity to perform or absorb everything that is possible has been outstripped, it is time for people to ____.
A. slow down the development of technology
B. reduce the role of science in modern times
C. take a new point of view about technology
D. reevaluate the lifestyle of human ancestors
29. According to the write, it is everyone’s responsibility to participate in deciding on ____.
A. how fast scientific advancement should be
B. how fast technological progress should be
C. what to acquire and what to skip in science
D. what to do and what to avoid in technology
30. The passage is mainly about _____.
第 6 页
A. the influence of technology on modern society
B. the importance of learning scientific principles
C. the imp;act of scientific progress on civilization
D. the difference between science and technology
Passage Three
Since we are social beings, the quality of our lives depends in large measure on out interpesonal relationships. One strength of the human condition is our tendency to give and receive support from one another under stressful circumstances. Social support consists of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties. Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to cope with major life changes and daily problems. People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties. Studies over a range of illnesses, from depression to heart disease, reveal that the presence of social support helps people fight off illness, and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely.
Social support cushions stress in a number of ways. First, friends, relatives, and co-workers may let us know that they value us. Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others despite our faults and difficulites. Second, other people often provide us with informational support. They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them. Third, we typically find social companionship supportive. Engaging in leisure-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting us from our worries and troubles. Finally, other people may give us instrumental support –financial aid, material resources, and needed services – that reduces stress by helping us resolve and cope with our problems.
31. We learn from the passage that interpersonal relationships are important because _____.
A. they are essential to people’s social well-being.
B. they arouse people's desire for communication
C. they deal with problems in the informatoin era
D. they are effective in curing a range of diseases
32. Research shows that people's physical and mental health _____.
A. is related to stressful conditions
B. is related to support from others
第 7 页
C. relies on soical welfare systems
D. relies on the severity of diseases
33. The underlined word "cushions" (paragraph 2) most probably means ____.
A. adds up to
B. does away with
C. lessens the effect of
D. lays the foundation for
34. Social companionship is beneficial in that_____.
A. it enables people to eliminate their mistakes
B. it helps people to understand their problems
C. it adds a new meaning to people's social life
d. it creates a new focus of attention for people
35. Helping a sick neighbor with some repair work is an example of ____.

71. The biggest single need in computer technology is not for increase speed, or enlarged capacity, or prolonged memory, or reduced size, but for better questions and better use of the answers. Without taking anything away from the technicians, we think it might be fruitful to effect some sort of junction between the computer technologist and the poet. A genuine purpose may be served by tuning loose the wonders of the creative imagination on the kinds of problems being put to electronic technology. The company of poets may enable the men who tend the machines to see a wider range of possibilities than technology alone may inspire.
A poet, said Aristotle, has the advantage of expressing the universal; the specialist expresses only the particular. The poet, moreover, can remind us that man's greatest energy comes not from his dynamos but from his dreams. But the quality of a man's dreams can only be a reflection of his subconscious. What he puts into his subconscious, therefore, is quite literally the most important nourishment in the world.

Think again. Leasing can end up being just as expensive as buying. Most people think about leasing because they believe it will cost them less money. They're right-it is cheaper, but only in the short term. For example, if you were to lease anew Subaru Forester, you might pay $300 per month for the car. If you were to buy the same car, you would pay about $400 per month. Over a three-year, you would save $3600-a big savings. But after your lease is over, you have to give the car back. Many people want to lease because they can drive a more expensive car than they might otherwise be able to afford. For example, if you spend $300 monthly on a car, you might be able to lease a new Ford Explorer. For the same price, you might have to buy a used Explorer, or buy a new but much less expensive model. A lease，therefore，allows you to drive the latest models of more expensive cars. However, whatever car you can afford to buy you get to keep it, and it will always have a resell or trade-in(以新旧换)value if you want to upgrade to a new car later. Furthermore, people who lease cars are often shocked by how much they must pay when the lease is over . Most leases limit you to a certain number of miles. If you go over that, you must pay for each mile. As a result, you may end up paying thousands of dollars in mileage(里程) fees. In addition, when you lease ,you have to pay for regular maintenance and repairs to the vehicle. Since you must return the car finally, you are paying to repair someone else's car.

Before that, I'd heard rumors from former students. They said she was strict and her class was hard to pass. So I was very nervous. The first time we met, Mrs. Johnson told us her class would be difficult, but she would give us new "tools" and guide us through. She explained that her grading system was different, and that we would not see high scores soon. "Everything you do in class matters," she said. " As writing is an art, it takes a long time to perfect. " Mrs. Johnson scared me. I was afraid of what she would say if I asked a question. So in class I kept silent most of the time and couldn't follow her. When I got my first essay back, my grade was terrible. I was annoyed with Mrs. Johnson. I disliked going to her class. Then I realized I needed to find out what I could do to improve my grade and how to use the "tools" in my writing. As I still didn't dare to talk to Mrs. Johnson in person, I e-mailed her. In this way, she and I worked together to improve my writing. By and by, I could talk to her both online and in person. She walked me through every step to understand how to write an essay. Together we saw improvement in my work. From this I discovered that asking for help could actually work. Behind everything Mrs. Johnson was saying, she actually cared about me and where I would be in the future. She knocked me down so that I could climb back stronger. 1．【题干】I was worried when I was in Mrs. Johnson’s first class.（） 【选项】 A．True B．False C．Not Given 【答案】A 【解析】题干大意：当我在Mrs. Johnson’s 的第一次课上，我十分不安。该题的关键词为“worried” 和“first class”，定位到文中第一段，第一句中“English writing was always easy for me, but that changed on the fi rst day I walked into Mrs. Johnson's class”提到，英语写作曾对我来

Or, at least, they'll live healthier and more productive lives than the "cool" kids will. The study looked at 13-year-olds who acted old for their age by having "cool" behavior, such as early romantic relationships. They were seen as "cool" and popular kids. But as they grew up, things changed. The study found that these kids tended to have problems with drugs and relationships by their early 20s. Their behavior was no longer linked with popularity. Instead, they were thought to be less socially skilled by their peers. Besides, the average "cool" kids, by age 22, did more poorly than the average kids in the study. They had a 45 percent greater rate of problems due to drugs and alcohol. They also had a 22 percent greater rate of criminal behavior. The study also found that these kids failed to develop important life skills. They spent so much time trying to seem cool. They didn't develop the skills needed for meaningful friendships. The study followed 86 male and 98 female middle school students for a 10-year period. It has some surprising findings. In particular, the study notes that the so-called "cool" behavior is a predictor (预示) of future problems with drugs and alcohol. In fact, it is a better predictor than drag and alcohol use in middle school. However, one conclusion of the study is welcome. Researchers said that parents shouldn't worry too much if their kids don't seem that popular. If a kid prefers to spend Saturday nights at home watching a movie or reading instead of going out with friends, that is not a cause for concern. Many "uncool" kids, they said, do much better later on than the popular kids do. 1. Gentle kids are less healthy when they grow up. A. True B. False C. Not Given 2. "Cool" kids try to imitate adult behavior. A. True B. False C. Not Given 3. Romantic relationships seem cool to some teenagers.
