that are 41_____ to their position. This is a very limiting policy. A company that repays employees for all college credit courses—whether job related or not—offers a service not only to the employees, but to the entire company.
One good reason for giving employees 42 _____ tuition repayment is that it shows the company’s commitment to its employees. In today’s economy, wh ere job security is a thing of the past and employees feel more and more expendable, it is important for a company to 43 _____ to its employees that it cares. The best way to do this is with concrete 44 _____ in them. In turn, this commitment to the betterment of company employees will create greater employee 45_____. A company that puts out funds to pay for the education of its employees will get its money 46_____ by having employees stay with the company longer. It will reduce employee turnover, because e ven employees who don’t take advantage of the tuition repayment program will be more loyal to their company just knowing that their company cares 47_____ to pay for their education. Most importantly, the company that has an unrestricted tuition repayment program will have higher quality employees. Although these companies do indeed run the risk of losing money on employees who go on to another job in a different company as soon as they get their 48_____, more often than not, the employee will stay with the company.
And even if employees do leave after graduation, it generally takes several years to complete any degree program. Thus, even if the employee leaves upon graduating, throughout those years, the employer will have a more sophisticated, more intelligent, and therefore more valuable and productive employee. And, if the employee stays, that education will 49_____ benefit the company: Not only is the employee more educated, but now that employee can be 50_____ so the company doesn’t have to fill a high-level vacancy from the outside. Open positions can be filled by people who already know the company well. Though unconditional tuition repayment requires a significant investment on the employer’s part, it is perhaps one of the wisest investments a company can make.

Section B
Directions:Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
Dear Lee,
As I told you, I’ll be gone until Wednesday morning. Thank you so much for taking on my “children” while I’m away. Like real children, they can be kind of irritating sometimes, but I’m going to enjoy myself so much more knowing they’re getting some kind human attention. Remember that Regina (the “queen” in Latin, and she acts like one) is teething. If you don’t watch her, she’ll chew anything, including her sister, the cat. There are plenty of chew toys around the house. Whenever she starts gnawing on anything illegal, just divert her with one of those. She generally settles right down to a good hour-long chew. Then you’ll see her wandering around whimpering with the remains of the toy in her mouth. She gets really frustrated because what she wants is to bury the thing. She’ll try to dig a hole between the cushions of the couch. Finding that unsatisfactory, she’ll wander some more, dis content, until you solve her problem for her. I usually show her the laundry basket, moving a few clothes so she can bury her toy beneath them. I do sound like a parent, don’t I? You have to understand, my own son is practically grown up.
Regina’s food is the Puppy Chow in the utility room, where the other pet food is stored. Give her a bowl once in the morning and once in the evening. No more than that, no matter how much she begs. Beagles(猎犬) are notorious overeaters, according to her breeder, and I don’t want her to lose her girlish figure. She can share Rex (the King’s) water, but be sure it’s changed daily. She needs to go out several times a day, especially last thing at night and first thing in the morning. Let her stay out for about ten minutes each time, so she can do all her business. She also needs a walk in the afternoon, after which it’s important to romp with her for awhile in the yard. The game she loves most is fetch, but be sure to make her drop the ball. She’d rather play tug of war with it.Tell her, “Sit!” Then, when she does, say, “Drop it!” Be sure to tell her “good girl,” and then throw the ball for her. I hope you’ll enjoy these sessions as much as I do.
Now, for the other two, Rex and Paws… (letter continues)
66.The tone of this letter is best described as _____.
A. chatty and humorous
B. logical and precise
C. confident and trusting
D. humble and preachy
67.The information in the note is sufficient to determine that there are three animals. They are _____.
A. two cats and a dog
B. three dogs
C. a dog, a cat, and an unspecified animal
D. a cat, a dog, and a parrot
68.From the context of the note, it is most likely that the name “Rex” is _____.
A. Spanish
B. English
C. French
D. Latin
69.If the sitter is to follow th e owner’s directions in playing fetch with Regina, at what point will he or she
tell Regina “good girl”?
A. Every time Regina goes after the ball.
B. After Regina finds the ball.
C. When Regina brings the ball back.
D. After Regina drops the ball.

(B)
I was born under the Blue Ridge, and under that side which is blue in the evening light, in a wild land of game and forest and rushing waters. There, on the borders of a creek that runs into the Yadkin River, in a cabin that was chinked with red mud, I came into the world a subject of King George the Third, in that part of his realm known as the province of North Carolina.
The cabin smelt very strongly of corn-pone and bacon, and the odor of pelts. It had two shakedowns(临时床铺), on one of which I slept under a bearskin. A rough stone chimney was raised outside, and the fireplace was as long as my father was tall. There was a crane in it, and a bake kettle; and over it great buckhorns held my father’s rifle when it was not in use. On other horns hung jerked bear’s meat and venison hams, and gourds for drinking cups, and bags of seed, and my father’s best hunting shirt; also, in a neglected corner, several articles of woman’s clothing. These once belonged to my mother. Among them was a gown of silk, of a fine, faded pattern, which I always wondered. The women at the Cross-Roads, twelve miles away, were dressed in coarse butternut wool and huge sunbonnets. But when I questioned my father on these matters he would give me no answers.
My father was—how shall I say what he was? To this day I can only surmise many things of him. He was a Scotchman born, and I know now that he had a slight Scotch accent. At the time of which I write, my early childhood, he was a frontiersman and hunter. I can see him now, with his hunting shirt and leggins (绑腿) and moccasins（莫卡辛鞋）; his powder horn, engraved with wondrous scenes; his bullet pouch and tomahawk and hunting knife. He was a tall, lean man with a strange, sad face. And he talked little except when he drank too many “horns,” as they were called in that country. These little bad behaviors of my father’s were a permanent source of wonder to me—and, I must say, of delight. They occurred only when a passing traveler who hit his fancy chanced that way, or, what was almost as rare, a neighbor. Many a winter night I have lain awake under the skins, listening to a flow of language that held me spellbound, though I understood scarce a word of it.
“Virtuous(有德行的) and vicious(罪恶的) every man must be,
Few in the extreme, but all in a degree.”
The chance neighbor or traveler was no less struck with wonder. And many the time have I heard the query, at the Cross-Roads and elsewhere, “Whar Alec Trimble got his larnin’?”
70.The mention of the dress in the second paragraph is most likely meant to _____.
A. show the similarity between its owner and other members of the community
B. show how warm the climate was
C. show the dissimilarity between its owner and other members of the community
D. give us insight into the way most of the women of the region dressed
71.Judging by the sentences surrounding it, the underlined word “surmise” in the third paragraph most
nearly means _____.
A. to form a negative opinion
B. to praise
C. to desire
D. to guess
72.Why did the narrator enjoy it when his father drank too many “horns,” or drafts of liquor?
A. The father spoke brilliantly at those times.
B. The boy was then allowed to do as he pleased.
7 / 10
C. These were the only times when the father was not abusive.
D. The boy was allowed to sample the drink himself.
73.What is the meaning of the lines of verse (诗句) quoted in the passage?
A. Men who pretend to be virtuous are actually vicious.
B. Moderate amounts of virtuousness and viciousness are present in all men.
C. Virtuous men cannot also be vicious.
D. Whether men are virtuous or vicious depends on the difficulty of their circumstances.

Cultural Center Adds Classes for Young Adults
The Allendale Cultural Center has expanded its arts program to include classes for young adults. Director Leah Martin announced Monday that beginning in September, three new classes will be offered to the Allendale community. The course titles will be Yoga for Teenagers; Hip Hop Dance: Learning the Latest Moves; and Creative Journaling for Teens: Discovering the Writer Within. The latter course will not be held at the Allendale Cultural Center but instead will meet at the Allendale Public Library.
Staff member Tricia Cousins will teach the yoga and hip hop classes. Ms. Cousins is an accomplished choreographer (舞蹈教师) as well as an experienced dance educator. She has an MA in dance education from Teachers College, Columbia University, where she wrote a thesis on the pedagogical(教学法的) effectiveness of dance education. The journaling class will be taught by Betsy Milford. Ms. Milford is the head librarian at the Allendale Public Library as well as a columnist for the professional journal Library Focus.
The courses are part of the Allendale Cultural Center’s Project Teen, which was initiated by Leah Martin, Director of the Cultural Center. According to Martin, this project is a direct result of her efforts to make the center a more essential part of the Allendale community. Over the last several years, the number of people who have visited the cultural center for classes or events has steadily declined. Project Teen is primarily funded by a generous grant from The McGee Arts Foundation, an organization devoted to bringing arts programs to young adults. Martin oversees the Project Teen board, which consists of five board members. Two board members are students at Allendale’s Brookd ale High School; the other three are adults with backgrounds in education and the arts.
The creative journaling class will be cosponsored by Brookdale High School, and students who complete the class will be given the opportunity to publish one of their jo urnal entries in Pulse, Brookdale’s student literary magazine. Students who complete the hip hop class will be eligible to participate in the Allendale Review, an annual concert sponsored by the cultural center that features local actors, musicians, and dancers. All classes are scheduled to begin immediately following school dismissal, and transportation will be available from Brookdale High School to the Allendale Cultural Center and the Allendale Public Library. For more information about Project Teen, co ntact the cultural center’s programming office at 988-0099 or drop by the office after June 1 to pick up a fall course catalog. The office is located on the third floor of the Allendale Town Hall.

B. The new classes will begin on June 1.
C. People who want a complete fall catalogue should stop by the Allendale Public Library.
D. The cultural center’s annual concert is called Pulse.
75.According to Leah Martin, what was the direct cause of Project Teen?
A. Tricia Cousins was available to teach courses in the fall.
B. Community organizations were ignoring local teenagers.
C. The McGee Arts Foundation wanted to be more involved in Allendale’s arts programming.
D. She wanted to make the cultural center a more important part of the Allendale community.
76.Which of the following factors is implied as another reason for Project Teen?
A. The number of people visiting the cultural center has declined over the last several years.
B. The cultural center wanted a grant from The McGee Arts Foundation.
C. The young people of Allendale have complained about the cultural center’s offerings.
D. Leah Martin thinks classes for teenagers are more important than classes for adults.

A. In time order, from the past to the future.
B. Most important information first, followed by background and details.
C. Background first, followed by the most important information and details.
D. As sensational news, with the most controversial topic first.
Section C
Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.
Automation refers to the introduction of electronic control and automatic operation of productive machinery. It reduces the human factors, mental and physical, in production, and is designed to make possible the manufacture of more goods with fewer workers. The development of automation in American industry has be en called the “Second Industrial Revolution”.
Labour’s concern over automation arises from uncertainty about the effects on employment, and fears of major changes in jobs. In the main, labour has taken the view that resistance to technical change is unfruitful. Eventually, the result of automation may well be an increase in employment, since it is expected that vast industries will grow up around manufacturing, maintaining, and repairing automation equipment. The interest of labour lies in bringing about the transition with a minimum of inconvenience and distress to the workers involved. Also, union spokesmen emphasize that the benefit of the increased production and lower costs made possible by automation should be shared by workers in the form of higher wages, more leisure, and improved living standards.
To protect the interests of their members in the era of automation, unions have adopted a number of new policies. One of these is the promotion of supplementary unemployment benefit plans. It is emphasized that since the employer involved in such a plan has a direct financial interest in preventing unemployment, he will have a strong drive for planning new installations so as to cause the least possible problems in jobs and job assignments. Some unions are working for dismissal pay agreements, requiring that permanently dismissed workers be paid a sum of money based on length of service. Another approach is the idea of the “improvement factor”, which calls for wage increases based on increases in productivity.
9 / 10
It is possible, however, that labour will rely mainly on reduction in working hours in order to gain a full share in the fruits of automation. (in no more than 8 words)
78.Automation makes it possible to ________________________________________.
79.At first, two things people worried about automation were ____________________________.
80.According to union spokesmen, the workers benefit from automation in terms of
________________________________________________________.
81.What is the last passage mainly talking about?
________________________________.
(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in No More Than Ten Words.)

When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.
Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.
It was the ambition of an eleven-year-old boy in Kansas City to be an engine driver. Born without arms, he had been to special schools, where he learned the skill of using his feet as “hands”. He spent all his spare time watching trains and one day his dreams came true. Seeing a deserted engine, the boy climbed in and he had no difficulty in starting it with his feet. Soon he was traveling along at forty miles an hour. Signalmen could not see the young driver, so they didn’t try to stop the train.

reading stories about people my own age. That's a favorite topic. Mysteries and detective stories came second on the list at 53%. Just under 50% said they were interested in reading about their own culture in tradition. Of the teenagers who participated in the survey, 49% said that libraries are where they get most of their books. However, many complain that their school libraries do not have enough up-to-date interesting books and magazines. Even though many teenagers in the US enjoy reading, they still have other interests. When asked which activity would be the most difficult to give up for a week, 48% said listening to music. TV would be difficult to give up for 25% of those surveyed.
14.What is the passage mainly about? (C)
15.What books are most popular among teenagers according to the survey? (A)
16.What activity do teenagers find the most difficult to give up for a week? (B)
Section C
Directions:In section C, you will hear two longer conversations. The conversations will be read twice. After you hear each conversation, you are required to fill in the numbered blanks with the information you hear.
Blanks 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.
M: What’s the article mainly about?
W: It’s about Dr. Catani’s research. It says that IPad generation is losing out on vocabulary.
M: Nowadays children have access to the Internet, mobile phone and tablet computers, which are visual rather than auditory. That means children learn vocabulary from on-screen image but not from everyday conversation.
W: Yes. Dr. Catani said: “When we learn a new word, we start by hearing a sound, and then we try to repeat it until we get it right. Through this we increase our vocabulary from age one until we get to 30,000 words as an adult.
M: That means these findings show that listening, repetition and conversation matter a lot to learning language.
W: Yes. Hearing and then verbally imitating is key to understanding.
M: Since we know how children learn new words, they are likely to have less vocabulary than the previous generation.
W: So we should spend less time on these devices and talk more to our children to maintain the oral tradition of passing on knowledge to our children.
Complete the form. Write ONE WORD OR NUMBER for each answer.
Blanks 21 through 24 are based on the following conversation.
M: Hi, Sharon. I haven’t seen you for ages. Are you still working in the studio?
W: Yes. I like photographing the best moments of the animals in studios and sell prints online.
M: What’s your goal during each shoot?
W: Capturing the animal’s charm----it can be something in their eyes or the way they move.
M: Since you have long been working with animals, can you tell me something about them?
14 / 10
W: The animals generally fall into two categories: some are cute, and some are striking, like the American buffalo.
M: Do you get scared when you photograph animals like lions and bears?
W: No, it even doesn’t occur to me to be scared. I have confidence in the handlers I work with. And focusing on shooting can totally distract me from anything around.
M: Are certain animals easier to photograph than others?
W: Some animals like buffalo and cow don’t do much, which makes it easy for me while animals like chicks and cats move around. I have to focus and be ready for the split second and the right position. M: What are the tricky parts that people wouldn’t expect?
W: It’s a lot of work plus stress and self-doubt that comes with any creative pursuit.
Complete the form. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.

2014全国高考汇编之非谓语动词 一（2014安徽卷）32．While waiting for the opportunity to get , Henry did his best to perform his duty.
