Leading stress management experts say that without stress would be dull and unexciting. Stress adds flavor, challenge, and opportunity to life. However, too much stress can seriously affect your physical and mental well-being. A major challenge in today’s stress-filled world is to make the stress in your life work for you instead of against you.In today’s hectic, fast-paced world and with the blooming economy, stress is our constant companion. It comes from mental or emotional activity and physical activity. Too much emotional stress can result in physical illness, such as high blood pressure, ulcers, asthma, irritable colon, headaches, or even heart disease. On the other hand,physical stress from work or exercise rarely causes such ailments. In fact, physical exercise can help you to relax and to handle your mental or emotional stress.Hans Selye, M.D., a recognized expert in the field, has defined stress as a “nonspecific response of the body to a demand”. The key to reducing stress is learning how our bodies respond to those demands. When stress becomes prolonged or particularly frustrating, it can become harmful-causing distress or “bad stress”. Recognizing the early signs of distress and then doing something about them can make a significant difference in the quality of your life.In order to use stress in a positive way and prevent it from becoming distress, you should be aware of your own reactions to stressful events. The body responds to stress by going through specific stages: (1) alarm, (2) resistance, (3) exhaustion. Muscles tense, blood pressure and heart rate rise, and adrenaline and other stress-triggered hormones that increase the level of alertness are released. If the stress-causing conditions continue, your body will need time to make repairs, if that happens, you eventually may develop a physical problem that is related to stress, such as migraine headaches, high blood pressure, backache, or insomnia. That’s why when stress occurs it’s important that you recognize and deal with it in a positive way. While it’s impossible to live completely free of stress and distress, it is possible to prevent some distress as well as to minimize is impact when it can’t be avoided. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services offers the following suggestions for ways to handle stress.Try Physical ActivityWhen you’re nervous, angry or upset, try releasing the pressure through exercise or physical activity. Running, walking, playing tennis, or working in your garden are just some of the activities you might try. Physical exercise will relieve your anxiety and worry and help you relax. Your body and your mind will work together to ease the stress in your life.Share Your StressIt helps to talk with someone about your anxieties and worries. Perhaps a friend, family member, teacher, or counselor can help you achieve a more positiveperspective on what’s troubling you. It you feel your problem is serious, you might seek professional help from a psychologist, psychiatrist or social worker. Knowing when to ask for help is a positive step in avoiding more serious problems later.Take Care of YourselfYou should make every effort to eat well and to get enough rest. If you’re irritable and tense from lack of sleep, or if you’re not eating properly, you’ll be more vulnerable to stressful situations. If stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping, you should consult your doctor.Make Time for YourselfSchedule time for both work and reaction. Don’t forget, play can be just as important to your overall well-being as work. You need a break from your daily routine to just relax and have fun. Go window-shopping or work on a hobby. Allow yourself at least a half hour each day to do something you enjoy.Make a List of the Things You Need to DoStress can result from disorganization and a feeling that “there’s so much to do, and not enough time”. Trying to take care of everything at once can be overwhelming, and as a result, you may not accomplish anything. Instead, make a list of everything you have to do, then do one thing at a time, checking off each task as it is completed. Give priority to the most important tasks and do those first.Go Ahead and CryA good cry can be a healthy way to bring relief to your anxiety. It might even help you avoid headache or other physical consequence of anxiety and stress.Create a Quiet SceneYou can’t always run away, but you can allow yourself a mental “get-away”. A quiet country scene painted mentally, or on canvas, can transport you from the tension of a stressful situation to a more relaxing frame of mind. You also can create a sense of peace and tranquility by reading a good book or listening to beautiful music.Avoid Self-MedicationWhile you can use prescription or over-the-counter medications to relieve stress temporarily, they do not remove the conditions that caused the stress in the first place.In fact, many medications may be habit-forming and also may reduce your efficiency, thus creating more stress than they eliminate. They should be taken only on the advice of your doctor.RelaxThe best strategy for reducing or avoiding stress altogether is to learn how to relax. Unfortunately, many people try to relax at the same pace that they lead the rest of their lives. That doesn't work. Instead, try tuning out your worries about time, productivity and "doing right". Here are several relaxation techniques you may find helpful:--You should take a deep breath and exhale to help calm your mind, counter your body's natural stress reaction and improve your response.--You should laugh. Many stress management experts advocate laughter as a relaxation technique for relieving tension.--You should take a warm bath or shower. Whether you prefer bubble baths or long hot showers, this is an excellent way to relax after a stressful day.--You should try progressive muscle relaxation. Individual contract and relax each muscle group of your body. Begin by tensing your toes for 10 seconds, then relax them for 20.Work all the way up your body, alternately tensing and relaxing, and finish with your facial muscles.By learning the "art" of relaxation, you’ll find satisfaction in just "being", without trying or striving. Your focus on relaxation, enjoyment and health will reduce stress, anxiety and worry in your life. The result is, you will be calmer, healthier and happier.注意:此部分试题在答题卡1上作答。

Ask a right-wing American about the risks posed by climate change, and you can also make a 26 guess than if you didn’t know their politic al affiliation. Issues like these feel like they should be 27 by science, not our political tribes, but sadly, that’s not what happens.Psychology has long shown that education and intelligence won’t stop your politics from 28 your broader worldview, even if those beliefs do not match the hard evidence. Instead ,your ability to weigh up the facts may depend on a less well-recognised trait- 29 .There is now a mountain of 30 to show that politics doesn’t just help predict people’s views on some scientific issues; it also affects how they interpret new information. This is why it is a 31 to think that you can somehow “ correct” people’s views on an issue by giving th em more facts, since study after study has shown that people have a tendency to 32 reject facts that don’t fit with their existing views.But smarter people shouldn’t be susceptible to prejudice swaying their opinions, right? Wrong. Other research shows that people with the most education, highest mathematical abilities, and the strongest tendencies to be reflective about their beliefs are the most 33 to resist information which should contradict their prejudices . This undermines the simplistic assumption that prejudices are the result of too much gut instinct and not enough deep thought. Rather, people who have the 34 for deeper thought about an issue can use those cognitive powers to justify what they already believe and find reasons to dismiss apparently_ 35 evidence.Section BHow to Fix the Internet[A] We have to fix the internet. After 40 years, it has begun to corrode, both itself and us . It is still a marvelous and miraculous invention, but now there are bugs in the foundation, bats in the belfry, and trolls in the basement.[B] I do not mean this to be one of those technophobic rants insulting the interne for rewiring our brains to give us the nervous attention span of Donald Trump on Twitter or pontificating about how we have to log off and smell the flowers. Those worries about new technologies have existed ever since Plato was concerned that the technology of writing would threaten memorization and oratory (演讲术) .I love the interne and all of its digital offshoots. What I feel sad for is its decline.[C]There is a bug in its original design that at first seemed like a feature but has gradually, and now rapidly, been exploited by hackers and trolls and malevolent actors: Its packets are encoded with the address of their destination but not of their authentic origin. With a circuit-switched network, you can track or trace back the origins of the information, but that’s not true with the packet-switched design of the internet.[D]Compounding this was the architecture that Tim Berners-Lee and the inventors of the early browsers created for the World Wide Web. It brilliantly allowed the whole of the earth’s computers to be webbed together and navigated through hyperlinks. But the links were one-way. You knew where the links took you . But if you had a webpage or pi ece of content, you didn’t exactly know who was linking to you or coming to use your content.[E]All of that protected the potential for anonymity. You could make comments anonymously. Go to a webpage anonymously. Consume content anonymously. With a little effort, send email anonymously . And if you figured out a way to get into someone’s servers or databases, you could do it anonymously.[F]For years, the benefits of anonymity on the net outweighed its drawbacks. People felt more free to express themselves, which was especially valuable if they were holding different opinions or hiding a personal secret. This was celebrated in the famous 1993 New Yorker cart oon, “On the Internet, nobody knows you’re a dog.”[G]Now the problem is nobody can tell if you’re a troll. Or a hacker . Or a bot .Or a Macedonian (马其顿的) teenager publishing a story that the Pope has supported Trump . This has poisoned civil discourse, enabled hacking, permitted cyberbullying , and made email a risk.[H]The lack of secure identification and authentication ( 身份认证) inherent in the internet’s genetic code had also prevented easy transactions, obstructed financial inclusion, destroyed the business models of content creators, unleashed the overflow of spam ( 垃圾邮件) ,and forced us to use passwords and two-factor authentication schemes that would have confused Houdini. The trillions being spent and the IQ points of computer science talent being allocated to tackle security issues make it a drag, rather that a spur, to productivity in some sectors.[I]It Pla to’s Republic, we learn the tale of the Ring of Gyges. Put it on , and you’re invisible and anonymous. The question that Plato asks is whether those who put on the ring will be civil and moral. He thinks not, The internet has proven him correct. The web is no longer a place of community, no longer a marketplace. Every day more sites are eliminating comments sections.[J]If we could start from scratch, here’s what I think we would do:Greate a system that enables content producers to negotiate with aggregators ( 整合者) and search engines to get a royalty whenever their content is used, like ASCAP has negotiated for public performances and radio airings of its members’ works. Embed (嵌入) a simple digital wallet and currency for quick and easy small payments for songs, blogs, articles , and whatever other digital content is for sale. Encode emails with an authenticated return or originating address. Enforce critical properties and security at the lowest levels of the system possible, such as in the hardware or in the programming language, instead of leaving it to programmers to incorporate security into every line of code they write. Build chips and machines that update the notion of an internet packet. For those who want, their packets could be encoded or tagged with metadata ( 元数据) that describe what they contain and give the rules for how it can be used.[K]M ost internet engineers think that these reforms are possible, from Vint Cerf, the original TCP/IP coauthor, to Milo Medin of Google, to Howard Shrobe, the director of cybersecurity at MIT. “We don’t need to live in cyber hell,”Shrobe has argued. Implementing them is less a matter of technology than of cost and social will .Some people, understandably, will resist any reduction of anonymity, which they sometimes label privacy.[L]S o the best approach, I think, would be to try to create a voluntary system, for those who want to use it, to have verified identification and authentication. People would not be forced to use such a system. If they wanted to communicate and surf anonymously, they could. But those of us who choose, at times, not to be anonymous and not to deal with people who are anonymous should have that right as well. That’s the way it works in the real world.[M]T he benefits would be many. Easy and secure ways to deal with your finances and medical records. Small payment systems that could reward valued content rather than the current incentive to concentrate on clickbait for advertising. Less hacking, spamming, cyberbullying, trolling, and spewing of anonymous hate . And the possibility of a more civil discourse.36.The one-way hyperlinks enable users to do many things online anonymously.37.Although anonymity can make people conceal their identity online, now it has poisoned their online life.38.To adopt the voluntary system would be advantageous to our online life in a number of aspects.39.There are several ways to reduce anonymity if we can rebuild the internet from the very beginning.40.The author suggested inventing a system to let people go online anonymously or not as they wish.41.The author thinks the internet should be fixed not because he is afraid of new technologies but becauseproblems arise in it.42.Pubic opposition could become one of the biggest obstacles to carrying out the reforms.43.The hazard of anonymity mentioned by Plato has been shown on the internet.44.People used to think that anonymity online did more good than harm.45.It is the design of the internet that makes it impossible to find out where the information comes from. Section CPassage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.In today’s world, online social media has become more powerful and the most destructive thing over worldwide. Although with time all generations have come to embrace the changes social network has brought about, teenagers and young adults are the most fanatic users of these sites. According to various research studies in the field of online social networks, it has been revealed that these sites are impacting the lives of the youth greatly. When using these sites such as Twitter, Facebook or Myspace, there are both positive and negative effects on the youth.Firstly, social media helps the youth and any other user updated with what is happening around the world, and helps the teenagers stay connected and interact with each other even if they are many miles apart. This strengthens their relationship. Even if they finished school and moved to different locations, they stay connected and update one another.In addition, social media sites have provided a platform whereby the youth can create groups and pages based on their common discipline and end up building connections and opportunities for their respective careers by updating various topics to discuss. Youth who have been interviewed say that social media has become their lifestyle and it makes their lives easier and more efficient.While on the one hand social network sites seem to bring people together and stay connected, on the other hand it causes many physical and mental health problems such as eyes infection, back problems, etc. Other negative effects of social networking various people suggested included encouraging poor spelling and grammar, exposing underage to online predators ( 捕食者) , allowing spread of misinformation that is seen as fact, decreasing productivity as those who are supposed to e working spend time in the sites to chat, providing a perfect platform for cyberbullying and providing details that increase risks of identity theft.“The more social media we have, the more we think we’re connecting, yet we are really disconnecting from each other.”In conclusion, social networking clearly portrays both positive and negative effects on the youth. It is the decision of individuals whether to use it in a right way or wrong.46.According to the first paragraph, .A)both online and offline social media have developed quicklyB)social medial sites are always being attackedC)the effects of social medial were welcomed in the beginningD)the most crazy fans of social medial are the youth47.What is young people’s purpose in adopting the platform offered by social media sites?A. To improve their academic performance.B)To lay the foundation for their future careers.C)To practice their debate skills.D)To change their way of living.48.What does the author mainly imply about the disadvantages of social networking?A)Increasing the prevalence of oral errors. B) Putting minors in danger.C) Spreading falsehoods and rumors. D) Leaki ng users’ personal information.49.The author’s attitude towards social media is .A)objective B) positive C) negative D) impassive50.What’s the main topic of this passage?A)The introduction of online social media history.B)The research on online social media.C)The influence of online social media on the youth.D)The correct way to use online social media.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.Cutting toxic levels of city air pollution to safer levels is simple, but not easy-it requires resolve. Yet, despite the key culprit (罪犯) in the UK being well known-diesel (柴油机的) vehicles-the government has been asleep at the wheel for years.Levels of nitrogen dioxide (二氧化氮) have been illegally high across much of the UK since 2010. In 2015 86% of major urban areas broke annual limits. Cutting this pollution means choking off diesel emissions and there is a wide range of effective measures available.Creating zones in city centres where polluting care are either banned or charged is important, while making cities safe for cycling cuts traffic too.Cleaner buses and taxis have an important role to play and change to the perverse taxes that encourage people to buy diesel over cleaner cars is needed. There is also some support for a revival of a scrappage scheme which saw dirty old bangers taken off the road.The environment and transport departments were well aware of all this and proposed many of these measures internally, only for the Treasury to reject most of them, arguing they “ would be political ly very difficult, especially given the impacts on motorists.”Motorists happen to be particularly badly exposed to air pollution, but the real political difficulty for the government is two humiliating legal defeats in two years where judges ruled its air pollution plans were so bad they were illegal.Ministers have now been forced to come up with a third plan, but clean air zones and car tax changes take time to clean up the air. Yet the UK government is also in the slow lane when it comes to emergency measures.When foul air descended on Paris in December, officials there swung into action. Public transport was made free and the number of cars allowed on roads was restricted, alternately barring those with odd and even licence plates. In the UK, during the same December smog, the government sent a few tweets.At the root of the problem are diesel cars, which successive governments across Europe have utterly failed to ensure meet legal emissions limits when driving in real-world conditions on the road. The gaming of regulatory tests by carmakers was blown open by the Volkswagen scandal. The scandal of governments prioritising supposed driver freedom over the lungs and health of their citizens is only now playing out.51.What does the author think of fixing air pollution in the first paragraph?A)It is a piece of cake. B) It needs political will.C) It is the main problem. D) It has a lone way to go.52.The aim of those in favor of a scrappage scheme is .A)to reduce diesel emissions B) to encourage the use of old carsC) to retire low-end old vehicles D) to cut own on traffic accidents53.It can be inferred from the passage that the Treasury .A)was quite clear about the current situation of air pollutionB)opposed almost every proposal about reducing air pollutionC)believed the anti-pollution measures to be unaffordableD)made such objections partly due to the effects on drivers54.Why do the UK ministers have to put forward a third air pollution plan?A)Because drivers are suffering the most from sir pollution.B)Because the first two plans were found illegal by the judges.C)Because long-term solutions are ignored by the government.D)Because emergency measures are falling behind.55.Which of the following measures did the French government take when smog suddenly arrived in December?A)Establishing clean air zones. C) Limiting vehicles based on license plate number.B)Reforming car taxes. D) Posting several announcements on Twitter.Part ⅣTranslation (30 minutes)西汉时期,中国的船队就达到了印度和斯里兰卡(Sri Lanka),用中国的丝绸换取了琉璃(colored glaze)、珍珠等物品。

Some people are already concerned about the implications of internet-connected microphones listening in every room and from every smartphone.Not all audio is sent to the cloud—devices wait for a trigger phrase(“Alexa”,“OK,Google”,“Hey,Cortana”,or“Hey,Siri”)before they start relaying the user’s voice to the servers that actually handle the requests—but when it comes to storing audio,it is unclear who keeps what and when.[I]Police investigating a murder in Arkansas,which may have been overheard by an Amazon Echo,have asked the company for access to any audio that might have been captured.Amazon has refused to co-operate, arguing(with the backing of privacy advocates)that the legal status of such requests is unclear.The situation is analogous(相似)to Apple’s refusal in2016to help FBI investigators unlock a terrorist’s iPhone;both cases highlight the need for rules that specify when and what intrusions into personal privacy are justified in the interests of security.[J]Consumers will adopt voice computing even if such issues remain unresolved.In many situations voice is far more convenient and natural than any other means of communication.Uniquely,it can also be used while doing something else(driving,working out or walking down the street).It can extend the power of computing to people unable,for one reason or another,to use screens and keyboards.And it could have a dramatic impact not just on computing,but on the use of language puterized simultaneous translation could render the need to speak a foreign language irrelevant for many people;and in a world where machines can talk,minor languages may be more likely to survive.The arrival of the touchscreen was the last big shift in the way humans interact with computers.The leap to speech matters more.36.Despite the issue of invasion of privacy,voice-computing’s irresistible convenience is already receivingwide adoption.37.Conventional forms of input and output will not be entirely replaced by voice command.38.Deep learning revolutionizes speech technologies,enabling computers to process any natural language.39.Screens and keyboards of computers are not necessarily indispensable because of the invention of voicecomputing.40.Deep learning has real successes,but is not enough to understand the meaning of language.41.The convenience brought by voice computing can come at a risk of privacy or security.ws that apply to privacy and security issues for voice technology are needed in light of the two cases inAmerica.43.Despite its simple appearance,voice is capable of changing computing,by bypassing the physical realm.44.Thanks to voice computing,several devices such as smartphones have already done some tasks by voiceorders.45.To fully explore the potential of voice technology,more things need to be done to tackle the gaps betweenconvenience and privacy.Section CDirections:There are2passages in this section.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 Answer Sheet2with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions46to50are based on the following passage.Police officers may hope that their presence in schools will help them build strong relationships with students, improving police-community relations over the long term.But achieving that goal may require rethinking law enforcement’s role in education,a new report suggests.Looking at federal data from the2012-2014school year,researchers at Education Week found that students in schools with at least one school resource officer(STO)were1.5times likely to be arrested than their peers in schools that did not have a police presence.The disparity is particularly stark for black students,possibly because police presence is concentrated in districts with a higher proportion of minority students.Black buys were three times more likely to be arrested at school than white boys,the report found.Rather than building relationships and improving outcomes,students who are arrested or referred to law enforcement can see a drop in school performance and are disproportionately more likely to get involved with the law again as adults,researchers say.Racial bias means that outcomes are particularly poor in communities of color.Spurred by rising fears of violent crime during the1980s and1990s,some schools began turning to police to increase safety on campus.With federal funding,their presence only grew.Following tragedies like the school shooting at Columbine High School in Colorado,an increasing number of parents called for security measures like metal detectors and armed officers.By2013-2014,44,000“school resource officers”worked in schools on a full-or part-time basis.In some cases,hiring these officers has resulted in an impressive drop in incidents.But the national picture is less positive.Particularly in schools with a high proportion of minorities,the SROs are overused,taking on disciplinary functions that classroom teachers have traditionally performed,experts say.Arresting students,rather than having a classroom teacher discipline them,brings financial and emotional costs.An American Civil Liberties Union report found that arrested students were twice as likely to drop out of high school—and for those who appeared in court,that figure doubled.Compounding the problem,the cost of employing school resource officers means many schools with a police presence are less likely to have school counselors who can keep an eye on the psychological and developmental effects of arrests on children,Education Week reported.Detaining students also drains the budget of money that could be used to educate them.So how can police officers help ensure safety without becoming disciplinarians(纪律严明者)who grease the school-to-prison pipeline?Training is key,National Association of School Resource Officers executive director Mo Canady told Education Week.SROs should see themselves not only as members of law enforcement,but also embrace their role as educators on issues like drug prevention and as informal counselors for students,Mr.Canady said.46.The federal data quoted in Paragraph Two indicate that_____.A)schools in minority district are in need of SROsB)police officers tend to arrest minority studentsC)the existence of SROs intensified campus violenceD)the SROs may have failed to function as expected47.What may be the negative effect of deploying SROs?A)It exerted more law enforcement than necessary.B)It disturbed the normal teaching practices.C)It posed risks to students’psychological health.D)It frustrated the enthusiasm of faculty members.48.What does the author think of the measure of employing SRO?A)Its real effect remains to be seen.B)It should be vigorously promoted.C)There’s still room for improvement.D)It causes more harm than good.49.What does“grease the school-to-prison pipeline”(Line2,Para.8)most probably mean?A)To effectively prevent juvenile crime.B)To lead more students to be arrested.C)To help ensure the safety on campus.D)To tighten the school-to-prison link.50.In the last paragraph,the author advises the SROs to______.A)work harder to ensure school safety B)reinforce their roles as disciplinariansC)adjust their function in education D)care more about students’mental healthPassage TwoQuestions51to55are based on the following passage.Clear Macro CEO Mike Simcock,who has25years of professional asset management experience,says he started the company to help investment managers that were drowning in a deluge of data.There has been a massive explosion in data sources,many offering the prospect of more timely information and more impactful signals.But the big data revolution is actually compounding a problem that was already there, says Simcock.Advancements in technology are making analytical processes accessible beyond the world of hedge funds(对冲基金)and CTAs(交易顾问);things like back testing tools and ways of aggregating information and visualizing information in a really efficient way.Clear Macro is building a“Wikipedia of investment strategies”.It applies strategic,tactical and systematic asset allocation strategies,alongside a combination of select data sets providing real time macro insights,from text media and now-casting to cross border central bank liquidity statistics.Simcock suggests a less is more approach to data.“We are not scraping the internet for data.We are doing aggregation in the sense that we are sourcing what we call best quality data sets for the categories of information that we think decision makers care about holistically,as well as tools to back test and gain conviction over what works and what doesn’t.“He said big data sets within the hedge fund space tend to be really focused on tactical, higher frequency,shorter term decision making,such as trying to gain an edge on payrolls or the next move in inflation,or company results.The industry is very quickly going to move much further toward data driven automated research and investible strategies.“Funds or products that are essentially driven more and more by rules,and can be delivered in different ways,whether it’s an ETF structure or simply connecting to interactive brokers.”Suddenly all sorts of owners of data are realizing the power of their data sets.“We are completely unaware of whether we use traditional data or new data.If we can demonstrate it adds some value then that can justify paying for it.”Data does not come cheap:all sorts of entities are offering to sell their data,from anywhere between£25K and£250K,and upward.“The value of data is in the eyes of the beholder,”said Simcock.“Typically I think the way that data sales work is that everything is up for negotiation,”he said.“Some of the things we are finding is a lot of the classic data sets are delivering better performance when you build them into strategies.The message I would give to someone asking how should I deal with this landscape—embrace technologies that can make your job easier and take your time.”51.It is indicated in the first two paragraphs that_____.A)Simcock himself is an investment consultantB)Simcock’s company offers timely messageC)it’s hard to make a selection in data explosionD)high-tech provides ne analytic tools for CTAs52.What can we learn about the“Wikipedia of investment strategies”?A)It makes investment suggestions.B)It sorts and analyzes timely data.C)It provides macro data reports.D)It predicts the statistics of banks.53.According to Simcock,the key to an efficient process with the data is_____.A)aggregation B)allocation C)combination D)simplification54.What opinion does Simcock express in the last paragraph?A)The price of data may soar up in the future.B)Any kind of data can be sold out nowadays.C)Classic data can provide better information.D)It’s worth time to get adapted to new tech.55.What can be the best title of this passage?A)How to Avoid Drowning in Data C)How to Apply Investment StrategiesB)How to Respond to Data Explosion D)How to a Systematic Data SetPartⅣTranslation(30minutes)Directions:For this part,you are allowed30minutes to translate a passage from Chinese intoEnglish.You should write

Sometimes it may just be a comforti ng and harmless belief, while at the other extreme it can be very destructive. I once met a brilliant young engineer who worked in a chemical plant. Because of her knowledge and exp erie nee, she should have bee n p romoted to P roductio n Man ager. I nstead, the job went to a man who was totally un suited for the po st. Everyone knew that he only got it because he was p olitically acceptable to his superiors. This injustice demoralized the young engineer and many of her colleagues. It also mea nt that the factory was much less efficie nt tha n it could have bee n. All the same, we should not be pessimistic. More and more, the modem world depends on having people who are in the job because they are good enough, not just because heir face fits. There is a story of a factory owner who __ (move) around the sun at the age of 3. — (correct) the stude nts’pap ers. (leave), it' impossible for us to finish this complicatedsent for an engineer to see to a machine which would not go. He examined it, then took out a hammer and tapped it, once. The machine started up immediately.When he presented his bill, the owner protested, “This can't be fight! 100 pounds just for tapping amachine with a hammer? ” The engineer wrote out a new bill: “ For tappipnoguandm; achine, 1for knowing where to tap it, 99 pounds. ”36.It is believed that some people have succeeded in life because .A)they feel superior to othersB)they are both influential and powerfulC)they have some special advantageD) they have a poor background37.The engineer at the chemical plant was not promoted because .A)it is more difficult for a woman to get a promotion that for her male colleaguesB)her boss did not think she had the right qualifications for the jobC)the man who got the promotion was more experienced that she wasD)her bosses did not approve of her political views and opinions38.The engineer who repaired the machine was right to charge 100 pounds becauseA)he was the only person who could find out what was wrong with itB)the factory owner could not have repaired it himselfC)he hit the machine to get it started againD)he was charging for his knowledge and expert skills39.The author's attitude towards the widespread belief is .A)positive B) negative C) neutral D) sympathetic40.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT TRUE?A)Having influential friends or right background seems helpful sometimesB)The engineer had good reason to overcharge the factory owner.C)Not all those who are good in their jobs have the chance to be promoted.D)Those who are good in their job are still largely needed by the modern society.Task 2Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 to 45. Tests conducted at the University of Pennsylvania 's Psychological Laboratory showed that anger is one of the most difficult emotions to detect from facial expression. Professor Dallas E. Buzby showed 716 students pictures of extremely angry persons, and asked them to identify the emotion from the facial expression. Only two percent made correct judgments. Anger was most frequently judged as "pleased". And a typical reaction of a student seeing the picture of a man who was very angry was to classify his expression as either "puzzled" or simply "astonished." Other studies showed that it is extremely difficult to tell whether a man is angry or not just by looking at his face.The investigators found further that women are better at detecting anger from facial expression than men are. Surprisingly, they also found that psychological training does not sharpen one's ability to judge a man' s emotions by his expressions but appears actually to slow it down. For in the university tests, the more courses the student had taken in psychology, the poorer judgment scores he turned in.41.The main information in this passage centers around _____ .A)the relation between anger and other emotionsB)the detection of anger from facial expressionC)the differences between men and women with respect to emotionD)the influence of psychology on one' s emotion42.From the passage we know that _________ .A)anger is difficult to detect by looking at a person's faceB)anger is often mixed with other emotionsC)men may get angry more easilyD)anger can be detected by a psychologically trained person43.Students with psychological training who were tested ____A)marked less than two percent of their possible choices correctlyB)were less able to judge correctly than the average studentC)did better than the average student in the groupD)did as well as the women students44.To achieve the greatest success in detecting anger from facial expression, it would be best toA)use adults rather than students as judgesB)ask women in fields other than psychology to judgeC)ask women rather than men to judgeD)ask psychologists to judge45.The word "sharpen" is closest in meaning to ______ .A)mireB)help developC)weakenD)help estimateTask 3Directions: The following is a a letter recommending a product.
