Researchers in the field of psychology have found that one of the best ways to make an important decision，such as choosing a university to attend or a business to invest in，involves the use of a decision worksheet. Psychologists who study optimization(最佳化)compare the actual decisions made by people to theoretical ideal decisions to see how similar they are. Advocates of the worksheet procedure believe that it will yield optimal，that is，the best decisions . Although there are several variations on the exact format(格式)that worksheets can take，they are ail similar in their essential aspects . Worksheets require defining the problem in a clear way and then listing all possible solutions t0 the problem．Next，the related considerations that will be affected by each decision are listed．and the relative importance of each consideration or consequence is determineD．Each consideration is assigned a numerical value to reflect its relative importance .A decision is mathematically calculated by adding these values together . The alternative with the highest number of points emerges as the best decision．
Since most important problems are multifaceted(多方面的)，there are several alternatives to choose from，each with unique advantages and disadvantages. One of the benefits of a pencil and paper
decision-making procedure is that it permits people to deal with more variables than their minds can generally comprehend and remember. On the average，people can keep about seven ideas in their minds at once A worksheet can be especially useful when the decision involves a large number of variables with complex relationships. A realistic example for many college students is the question“What will I do after graduation?”
A graduate might seek a position that offers specialized training，pursue an advanced degree，or travel abroad for a year.A decision-making worksheet begins with a clear statement of the problem that will also help to narrow it .It is important to be clear about the distinction between long-range and immediate goals because long-range goals often involve a different decision than short-range ones. Focusing on long-range goals，a graduating student might revise the question above to“What will I do after graduation that wilI lead tosuccessful career?”
(A)68．What does the passage mainly discuss?
A．A tool to assist tn making complex decisions.
B．A comparison of actual decisions and ideal decisions.
C．Researcb on how people make decisions.
D．Difference between long-range and short-range decision-making.
【解析】主旨大意题。从文章第一段中“one ofthe bestwaystomake animportant decision，such as．．．，involves the use of a decision worksheet．”可知正确的选项是A。B、C、D均属以偏概全。
(D)69．Of the following steps，which occurs before the three other steps in making a decision
worksheet?
A．Listing the consequences of each solution
B．Calculating a numerical summary of each solution
C．Deciding which consequences are most important
D．Writing down all possible solutions．
【解析】排序题。排序题也属于细节题，必须在原文中找到准确答案。由第一段“Worksheets require defining the problem in a clear way and then listing all possible solutions to the problem”可知应选D。(C)70．According to decision-making worksheet theory，an optimal decision is defined as one that
.
A．has the fewest variables to consider
B．uses the most decision worksheets
C．has the most points assigned to it
D．is agreed to by the greatest number of people
【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段“Advocates of the worksheet procedure believe that it will yield optimal，that is，the best decisions.”和“The alternative with the highest number of points emerges as the best decision．”两句可知an optional decision即a best decision，而把所有这些数值相加就能以数学方法来衡量一个决定，得分最高的选项就是最佳决定。
(A)71 The author develops the discussion in parA．l by means of
A．describing a process
B．classifying types of worksheets

阅读下面短文，简要回答同题。
Children are in need of adoption because some birth parents are unable to provide enough for the needs
of their chilD．There are a lot of reasons for making an adoption plan Birth parents may feel they cannot take on responsibility of an unplanned child because they are too young or because they are financially or emotionally unable to provide proper care. They don’t feel ready to be good parents．
In other cases children are in need of adoption because courts have decided that their birth
parents are unable to function adequately．Many of these children are victims of abuse. Regardless of how children come to need adoption，they are put with adoptive parents through private or public social service agencies. Other adoptions may be arranged independently，as when birth parents and adoptive parents come to know each other outside of an agency and then complete the adoption according to the laws and regulations of their states of residence．
In the early 1970s there was a dramatic increase in the number of families seeking to adopt，a condition which persists today．F0r this reason，the number of those who wish to adopt regularly exceeds(超过)the number of babies available Reasons for this dramatic increase are varied．A maior factor has been the choice of many people to delay the start of a family until later in life. Many of these people，in turn，have found themselves to be less fertile at that time,and so they have decided that their desire to have children might best be fulfilled through adoption．
In every state，however，there are children who are legally free to be adopted but are
desperately waiting for parents. The children in this group are usually older and often have special needs. They may require additional care from a parent because of their physical，emotional，or mental disabilities. Because of their special needs，these children are challenging to bring up. In fact，adoption experts believe that people who adopt these children need special training and
preparation in order to successfully bring up the child and to integrate(使融入)the child into the
family and eventually into society.

Educators are seriously concerned about the high rate of dropouts among the doctor of
philosophy students and the loss of talent to a nation in need of PhDs．
According to a report，the dropouts rate was found to be 31％，and in most cases the dropouts，while not completing the PhD requirement，are not only doing well financially，but，are earning as much as those who went on to complete their degrees Researchers say there IS little academic difference between those who fail and those who succeeD．
The increase of the dropout level is thought to be U waste of precious faculty time and a drain on university resources.
Experts said they used to believe that SO many dropped out because they weren’t tough or smart enough to complete the research required to get a PhD，and most couldn’t stand the long time which，on average，takes six years．
The truth is more complicateD．_The possibilities of better paid jobs elsewhere are evident in
some areas．The absence of a clear-cut career as a PhD graduate is another and lack of motivation is the principal reason for dropping out．
Nearly 75％of the dropouts said there was no academic reason for their decision，but those
who mentioned academic reason cited failure to pass the qualifying examination，uncompleted
research and failure to pass language exams．
Some people expressed the opinion that the shortage of highly trained college teachers could
be reduced by persuading the dropouts to return to graduate schools to complete the PhDs .But this turned out to be impractical．The same is true with lower requirement and provision of better
doctoral advisers for them．One possible way out can be a great increase in funding or prospects of
better jobs．
【答案】76．Dropouts for PhDs／PhD dropouts 77．Current situation 78．earning as much 79．
Expert guessing／belief 80．long duration／being long 81．no clear-cut career 82．failed language exams 83．Possible solutions 84．providing better advisers 85．Practical

书面表达：
One possible version：
Fallure is the mother of success
We high school students have taken many tests and exams，which brought us not only the joy of success，but the frustration of failure as well . Different students may take the failures with
different attitudes．Some will lose heart and no longer study as hard as before．But most students
take an active attitude towards it．They encourage themselves to be self-confident. In most cases，the students will turn to the experienced teachers and advisers，who can help them out with their own life stories or their experience．These students will benefit a lot from the failure by regaining the courage and the confidence in tile end．
In my opinion，“a fall in pit is a gain in wit”. Failure is the mother of success．Every great man
failed many times before they succeeded eventually．So let’s smile in the face of failure and success will be waiting for us round the corner．
