Complete the following passage with the words in the box. 8分A. accessB. alternativesC. supportingD. confirmedE. conflictingF. separateG. functionH. innovativeI. prospectiveConsidering how much time people spend in offices, it is important that work spaces be well designed. Well-designed office spaces help create a corporation’s image. They motivate workers and they make an impression on people who visit and might be potential, or ____76____, customers. They make business work better, and they are a part of the corporate culture to live in.As we move away from an industrial-based economy to a knowledge-based one, office designers come up with ____77____ to the traditional work environments of the past. The design industry has moved away from a fixed office setup and created more flexible “strategic management environments.”These____78____ solutions are meant to support better organizational performance.As employee hierarchies （等级制度）have flattened or decreased, office designers’ response to this change has been to move open-plan areas to more desirable locations within the office and create fewer formal private offices. The need for increased flexibility has also been ____79____ by changes in workstation design. Office and work spaces often are not designed to a given person on a permanent basis. Because of changes to methods of working, new design allow for expansion or movement of desks, storage, and equipment within the workplace. Another important design goal is communication, which designers have improved by breaking the walls that _____80____ workstations. Designers have also created informal gathering places and upgraded employees’ ____81____ to heavily trafficked areas such as copy and coffee rooms.Corporate and institutional office designers often struggle to resolve a number of competing and often ____82____ demands, including budgetary limits, employees hierarchies and technological innovation (especially in relation to computerization). These demands must also be balanced with the need to create interiors (内饰) that in some way enhance, establish or possess a company’s image and will enable employees to ____83____ at their best.All these elements of office design are related. The most successful office designs are like good marriage—the well-designed office and the employees that occupy it are seemingly made for each other.Part III Reading & Writing 65分A.Choose the best answer: 5分（5*1’）Enough “meaningless drivel”. That’s the message from a group of members of the UK government who have been examining how social media firms like LinkedIn gather and use social media data.The House of Commons Science and Technology Committee’s report, released last week, has blamed firms for making people sign up to long incomprehensible legal contracts and calls for an international standard or kitemark to identify sites that have clear terms and conditions.“The term and conditions statement that we all carelessly agree to is meaningless drivel to anyone,” says Andrew Miller, the chair of the committee. Instead, he says, firms should provide a plain-English version of their terms. The simplified version would be checked by a third party and awarded a kitemark if it is an accurate reflection of the original.It is not yet clear who would administer the scheme, but the UK government is looking at introducing it on a voluntary basis. “We need to think through how we make that work in practice,” says Miller.Would we pay any more attention to a kitemark? “I think if you went and did the survey, people would like to think they would,” says Nigel Shadbolt at the University of Southampton, UK, who studies open data. “We do know people worry a lot about the inappropriate use of their information.” But what would happen in practice is another matter, he says.Other organizations such as banks ask customers to sign long contracts they may not read or understand, but Miller believes social media requires special attention because it is so new. “We still don’t know how significant the long-term impact is going to be of unwise things that kids put on social media that come back and bite them in 20 years’ time,” he says.Shadbolt, who gave evidence to the committee, says the problem is that we don’t know how compani es will use our data because their business models and uses of data are still evolving. Large collections of p ersonal information have become valuable only recently, he says.The shock and anger when a social media firm does something with data that people don’t expect, even if users have apparently permission, show that the current situation isn’t working. If properly administered, a kitemark on terms and conditions could help people know what exactly they are signing up to. Although they would still have to actually read them.84. What does the phrase “ meaningless drivel” in paragraphs 1 and 3 refer to?A. Legal contracts that social media firms make people sign up to.B. Warnings from the UK government against unsafe websites.C. Guidelines on how to use social media websites properly.D. Insignificant data collected by social media firms.85. It can be inferred from the passage that Nigel Shadbolt doubts whether _______.A. social media firms would conduct a survey on the kitemark schemeB. people would pay as much attention to a kitemark as they thinkC. a kitemark scheme would be workable on a nationwide scaleD. the kitemark would help companies develop their business models86. Andrew Miller thinks social media needs more attention than banks mainly because _______.A. their users consist largely of kids under 20 years oldB. the language in their contracts is usually harder to understandC. the information they collected could become more valuable in futureD. it remains unknown how users’ data will be taken advantage of87. The writer advises users of social media to _______.A. think carefully before posting anything onto such websitesB. read the terms and conditions even if there is a kitemarkC. take no further action if they can find a kitemarkD. avoid providing too much personal information88. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. Say no to social media?B. New security rules in operation?C. Accept without reading?D. Administration matter!B. Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage.14分Since finishing my studies at Harvard and Oxford. I’ve watched one friend after another land high-ranking, high-paying Wall Street jobs. As executives with banks, consulting firms, established law firms, and major corporations, many are now well on their way to impressive careers. By society’s standards they seem to have it made.On the surface, these people seem to be very lucky in life. As they left student life behind, many had a last drink at their cheap but friendly local bar, shook hands with longtime roommates, and moved out of small apartments into high buildings. They made reservations at restaurants where the cost of a bottle of wine ____89____ a college year’s monthly rent. They replaced their beloved old car with expensive new sports cars.The thing is, a number of them have ____90____ that despite their success, they aren’t happy. Some ____91____ of unfriendly coworkers and feel sad for eight-hour workweeks devoted to tasks they hate. Some do not respect the companies they work for and talk of feeling tired and ____92____. However, instead of devoting themselves to their work, they find themselves working to support the lifestyle to which they have so quickly become accustomed .People often speak of trying a more satisfying path, and in the end the idea of leaving their jobs to work for something they ____93____ or finding a position that would give them more time with their families almost always leads them to the same conclusion: it’s impossible. They have loans, bills, a mortgage to pay off , retirement to save for. They recognize there’s something ____94____ in their lives, but it’s hard to step off the track.In a society that tends to ____95____ everything in terms of dollars and cents, we learn form a young age to consider the costs of our decisions in financial terms. But what about the personal and social costs involved in pursuing money over meaning? These are exactly the kinds of us tend to ignore — and the very ones we need to consider most.89. A. shared B. paid C. equaled D. collected90. A. advertised B. witnessed C. admitted D. demanded91. A. complain B. dream C. hear D. approve92. A. calm B. guilty C. warm D. empty93. A. let out B. turn in C. give up D. believe in94. A. missing B. inspiring C. sinking D. shining95. A. measure B. suffer C. digest D. deliverCC. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words. 14分It was 1961 and I was in the fifth grade. My marks in school were miserable and, the thing was, I didn’t know enough to really care. My elder brother and I lived with Mom in an ugly multi-family house in Detroit. We watched TV every night.But one day Mom changed our world f___96___. She turned off the TV. Our mother had only been able to get through third grade. But, she was much brighter and smarter than we boys knew at the time. She had n___97___ something in the suburban houses she cleaned---- books. So she came home one day, switched off the TV, sat us down and explained that her sons were going to make something of t___98___. “You boys are going to read two books every week,” she said. “And you’re going to write a report on what you read.”We moaned and complained about how unfair it was. B___99___, we don’t have any books in the house other than Mom’s Bible. But she explained that we would go where the books were: “I’ll drive you to the library.”So pretty soon there were these two peevish boys sitting in her white 1959 Oldsmobile on their way to Detroit Public Library. I wandered reluctantly a___100___ the children’s books. I loved animals, so when I saw some books that seemed to be about animals, I started leafing through them.The first book I read was about beavers（河狸）. For the first time in my life I was l____101___ in another world. No television program had ever taken me so far away from my surroundings as did this verbal visit to a cold stream in a forest and these animals building a home.Now my elder brother is an engineer and I am chief of pediatric neurosurgery(儿童神经外科) at John Hopkins Children’s Center in Baltimore. Sometimes I still can’t believe my life’s journey, from a failing and indifferent student in a Detroit public school to this p___102___, which takes me all over the world to teach and perform critical surgery.But I know when the journey began the day Mom switched off the TV set and put us in her Oldsmobile for that drive to the library.D. Answer the questions: 12分Follow a strict way of lifeSelf-disciplined people are not all outstanding people. But nearly all outstanding people are self-disciplined people. Some of them read every day. Some of them never run late. The real difference between an elite person and an ordinary person is that an elite person can manage his or her time well. That’s where their success comes from. What people call self-discipline is in fact self-management.One example is staying fit. Never underestimate someone who is in good shape. Anyone who has ever tried to lose weight knows that it’s not easy. It’s even harder to avoid putting weight back on. If someone is in good shape, it shows that he knows the principles of staying fit and is able to stick to a plan that uses these principles.If someone is in good shape, it means that this person is good at managing themselves and their time. Whether it is natural or acquired, it is a great skill. It also shows that this person is able to keep persevering and can balance long-term goals with short-term goals.So if someone is in good shape, he or she is much more than just healthy.How do you learn self-management? First of all, set a goal and write down your reasons for wanting to achieve it. Create a list of all the things you need to do to achieve this goal and start to work on them one at a time. With self-discipline, small things in life will no longer trouble you. Only through self-discipline, can you _______________________________________. 103.

However, this abundance of information has also brought about a new challenge: information overload. Many people find themselves overwhelmed by the sheer volume of data and struggle to filter out what is relevant and useful.One solution to this problem is to develop better information management skills. This involves several key steps:1. Identify your goals: Before you start gathering information, it is important to have a clear understanding of what you are looking for. This will help you focus your search and avoid getting sidetracked.2. Use search tools effectively: There are many search engines and databases available that can help you find the information you need.Learn how to use these tools effectively to narrow down your search results.3. Evaluate the credibility of sources: Not all information is reliable. It is important to critically evaluate the sources of information you come across. Look for signs of credibility, such as author expertise, publication date, and references.4. Organize your information: Once you have gathered the information, it is important to organize it in a way that makes sense to you. This could involve creating folders, using a note-taking app, or simply keeping a list of sources.5. Limit your time spent on information gathering: It is easy to get caught up in the process of gathering information. Set a timer to remind yourself to take breaks and avoid spending too much time on any single source.By following these steps, you can effectively manage the information overload and ensure that you are getting the most out of the digital resources available to you.31.
