They have become devoted to physical fitness. The need to exercise has almost become compulsive with many persons who have a strong desire to ‘be more phys ically fit.By nature， Americans are enthusiastic and energetic about their hobbies and pastimes. They apply this enthusiasm，and energy to jogging/running. As a result， there are running clubs to join and many books and magazines to read about running.Th e desire to be physically fit is explained by a ``passion‘’for good health. The high rate of heart attacks in the 1960s caused an increase on the part of the public in improving the human body. Middle-aged men especially suffer from heart attacks. Thus， they are one group strongly interested in more physical exercise. In[1][2][3][4][5]下一页[1][2][3][4][5]下一页97年在职MBA联考英语试题和答案fact，many doctors encourage their patients to become more physically active，especially those who have sedentary jobs. it is interesting to note that the rate of heart attacks began to decrease in the 1970s and it is still decreasing. Physical fitness currently enjoys a favored role in the United States. It is a new ``love‘’ that many Americans have cherished. Will it last long？Only time can tell——or until another ``new passion“comes along.21.

According to the passage，will the love for physical exercise last long for Americans？A. Yes.B. NO.C. Somebody can tell.D.

Even then you can never recover the real value you place upon your possessions. But you can’t insure against the upset and unhappiness that we all feel if our homes are seriously damaged by some stranger，our windows and doors smashed， our precious possessions ruined.“It won‘t happen to me.’‘Won‘t it？ A home is broken into almost every minute of the day. Thefts of all kinds， including cars and property stolen，happen twice as frequently.“I ‘ve nothing worth stealing.”You may think not. But in fact every one has something worth a thief‘s attention. And we a ll have things of special value to us even if they’re` worth little or nothing in cash terms.“I‘m only a tenant（房客）here.”The thief doesn‘t care whether you’re a tenant or an owner-occupier. You‘re just as likely to be robbed. Have a word with the owner of the house if you think extra locks and fastenings are necessary.“They‘ll get in any way.”Most thieves are always looking for easy jobs. They are soon discouraged by houses they can‘t get into quickly and easily. So it’s worth taking care.This booklet will help you——it‘s based on the practical experience of police forces throughout the country. Most of the suggestions will cost you only a few minutes extra time and thought. A few may involve some expense ，but this is small compared with the loss and unhappiness you might otherwise suffer. If you are in doubt， ask for free advice from the Crime Prevention Officer at your local police station .26. Why should you still worry about protecting your possessions when you have insured them？ .A. You tend to undervalue your possessions.B. You cannot insure against any damage to property.C.

The advertisement says that most thieves________ .A. prefer stealing from officesB. like causing a lot of damageC. will break in anywhere they want to.D. are discouraged by good security arrangements29. It seems that many people think that ____.A. the police will protect them from thieves . -B. their houses ought to be more secureC. thieves will not choose to steal from themD. thieves only steal from house-owners30. This advertisement for a booklet aims to influence people who_______ .A. have had their houses broken intoB. are not properly insuredC. are afraid of what thieves might doD. have not thought much about securityQuestions 3I to35 are based on the following passage：One silly question I simply cannot tolerate is ``How do you feel？‘’ Usually the question is asked of a man in action——a man walking along the street， or busily working at his desk. So what do you expect him to say？He‘ll probably say， ``Fine，I’m all right.“ But you have put a bug in his ear - maybe now he is not sure. If you are his good friend ， you may have seen something on his face， or in his walk， that he overlooked that morning. It makes him worrying a little. He looks in a mirror to see if everything is all right， while you go merrily on your way asking someone else， ``How do you feel？‘’Every question has its time and place. it‘s perfectlyacceptable， for instance， to ask ``How do you feel？’‘ if you are visiting a close friend in the hospital. But if the fellow is walking on both legs， hurrying to take a train or sitting at his desk working，it’s no time to ask him that silly question.When George Bernard Shaw， the famous British writer of plays was in his eighties， someone asked him ``How do you feel？‘’ Shaw put him in his place. ``When you reach my age，“ he said，``either you feel all right or you are dead.”3I. According to the writer， greetings， such as ``How do you feel？‘’_____ .A. show one‘s consideration for othersB. are a good way to make friendsC. are proper to ask a man in action ……D. generally make one feel uneasy .32. The question ``How do you feel？‘’ seems to be correct and suitable when asked ofA. a friend who is illB. a person who has lost a close friend.C. a stranger who looks somewhat worriedD. a man who is working at his desk33. Gorge Bemard Shaw‘s reply in this passage shows his______ .A. sillinessB. clevernessC. carelessnessD. politeness34. ``You have put a bug in his ear“ means that you have______ .A. made him laughB. shown concern for himC. made fun of himD. given him some kind of warning35 . This passage can be entitled .A. A silly QuestionB. Don‘t Trouble a Busy ManC. What Are Good GreetingsD. Gerge Bemard Shaw‘s ReplyQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage：In recent years many countries 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 （我种多样的）。

2013年全国硕士研究生入学统一考试管理类专业硕士学位联考英语（二）真题试卷Section II Reading ComprehensionPart ADirections:Read the following four texts. Answer the questions after each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. (40points)Text 1In an essay entitled ―Making It in America‖ the author Adam Davison relates a joke from cotton country about just how much a modern textile mill has been automated: The average mill has only two employees today, ―a man and a dog. The man is there to feed the dog, and the dog is there to keep the man away from the machines.Davidson’s article is one of a number of pieces that have recently appeared making the point that the reason we have such stubbornly high unemployment and declining middle-class incomes today is largely because of the big drop in demand because of the Great Recession, but it is also because of the advances in both globalization and the information technology revolution, which are more rapidly than ever replacing labor with machine or foreign workers.In the past, workers with average skills, doing an average job, could earn an average lifestyle. But, today, average is officially over. Being average is just wo n’t earn you what it used to. It can’t when so many more employers have so much more access to so much more above average cheap foreign labor cheap robotics, cheap software, cheap automation and cheap genins. Therefore, everyone needs to find their extra – their unique value contribution that makes them stand out in whatever is their field of employment.Yes, new technology has been eating jobs forever, and always will. But there’s been an acceleration. As Davidson notes, ― In the 10 years ending in 2009, factories shed workers so fast that they erased almost all the gains of the previous 70 years; roughly one out of every three manufacturing jobs – about 6 millions in total – disappeared.‖There will always be change – new jobs, new products, new services. But the one thing we know for sure is that with each advance in globalization and the I.T. revolution , the beat jobs will require workers to have more and better education to make themselves above average.In a world where average is officially over, there are many things we need to do to buttress employment, but nothing would be more important than passing some kind of G.I. Bill for the 21st century that ensures that every American has access to post-high school education.21. The joke in Paragraph 1 is used to illustrate .A. the impact of technological advancesB. the alleviation of jobs pressureC. the shrinkages of textile millsD. the decline of middle-class incomes22. According to Paragraph 3, to be a success employer, one has to .A. adopt an average lifestyleB. work on cheap softwareC. contribute something uniqueD. ask for a moderate salary23. The quotation in Paragraph 4 explains that .A. gains of technology have been erasedB. job opportunities are disappearing at a high speedC. factories are making much less money than beforeD. new jobs and services have been offered.24. According to the author, to reduce unemployment, the most important is .A. to accelerate the I.T. revolutionB. to ensure more education for peopleC. to advance economic globalizationD. to pass more bills in the 21st century25. Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for the text?A. Technology Goes CheapB．New Law Takes EffectC. Recession Is BadD. Average Is Over参考答案：ACBBDText 2A century ago, the immigrants from across the Atlantic included settlers and sojourners. Along with the many folks looking to make a permanent home in the United States came, those who had no intengtion to stay, and who would make some money and then go home. Between 1908 and 1915, about 7 million people arrived while about 2 million departed. About a quarter of all Italian immigrants, for example, eventually returned to Italy for good. They even had an affectionate nickname,‖ uccelli dipassaggio,‖ birds of passage.Today, we are much more rigid about immigrants. We divide newcomers into two categories: legal or illegal, good or bad. We hail them as Americans in the making, or brand them as aliens fit for deportation. That framework has contributed mightily to our broken immigration system and the long political paralysis over how to fix it.Crop pickers, violinists, construction workers, entrepreneurs, engineers, home health-care aides and particle physicists are among today’s birds of passage. They are energetic participants in a global economy driven by the flow of work, money and ideas. They prefer to come and go as opportunity calls them. They can manage to have a job in one place and a family in another.With or without permission, they straddle laws, jurisdictions and identities with ease. We need them to imagine the United States as a place where they can be productive for a while without committing themselves to staying forever. We need them to feel that home can be both here and there and that they can belong to two nations honorably.Accommodating this new world of people in motion will require new attitudes on both sides of the immigration battle. Looking beyond the culture new attitudes on both sides of the immigration battle. Looking beyond the culture war logic of right or wrong means opening up the middle ground and understanding that managing immigration today requires multiple paths and multiple outcomes, including some that are not easy to accomplish legally in the existing system.26.‖Birds of passage‖refers to those who_____.[A]find permanent jobs overseas[B]leave their home countries for food[C]immigrate across the Atlantic[D]stay in a foreign country temporarily27.It is implied in paragraph 2 that the current immigration system in the US_____.[A]needs new immigrant categories[B]has loosened control over immigrants[C]should be adapted to meet challenges[D]has been fixed via political means28.According to the author, today`s birds of passage want______.[A]financial incentives[B]a global recognition[C]opportunities to get regular jobs[D]the freedom to stay and leave29.The author suggests that the birds of passage today should be treated______.[A]as faithful partners[B]with legal tolerance[C]with economic favors[D]as mighty rivals30.The most appropriate title for this text would be_____.[A]Come and Go:Big Mistake[B]Living and Thriving:Great Risk[C]Legal or Illegal: Big Mistake[D]With or Without:Great Risk参考答案：DCDBCText 3Scientists have found that although we are prone to snap overreactions, if we take a moment and think about how we are likely to react, we can reduce even eliminate the negative effects of our quick, hard-wired responses.Snap decisions can be important defense mechanisms; if we are judging whether someone is dangerous, our brains and bodies are hard-wired to react very quickly, within milliseconds. But we need more time to access other factors. To accurately tell whether someone is social, studies show, we need at least a minute, preferably five. It takes a while to judge complex aspects of personality,like neuroticism or open-mindedness.But snap decisions in reaction to rapid stimuli aren’t excusive to the interpersonal realm. Psychologists at the University of Toronto found that viewing a fast-food logo for just a milliseconds primes us to read 20 percent faster, even though reading has little to do with eating. We unconsciously associate fast food with speed and impatience and carry those impulses into whatever else we’re doing. Subjects exposed to fast-food flashes also tend to think a musical piece lasts too long.Yet we can reverse such influences. If we know we will overreact to customer products or housing options when we see a happy face ( one reason good sales representatives and real estate agents are always smiling), we can take a moment before buying. If we know female job screeners are more likely to reject attractive female applicants, we can help screeners understand their biases – or hire outside screeners.John Gottman, the marriage expert, explains that we quickly ―thin slice‖ information reliably only after we ground such snap reactions in ―thick sliced‖long-term study. When Dr. Gottman really wants to assess whether a couple will stay together, he invites them to his island retreat for a much longer evaluation: two days, not two seconds.Our ability to mute our hard-wired reactions by passing is what differentiates us from animals: the dogs can thinks about future only intermittently or for a few minutes . but historically we have spent about 12 percent our days contemplating the longer term. Although technology might change the way we changed our nature. We will have the imaginative capacity to rise above temptation and reverse the high-speed trend.31. The time needed in making decisions may .A. vary according to the urgency of the situationB. prove the complexity of our brain reactionC. depend on the importance of assessmentD. predetermine the accuracy of out judgment32. Our reaction to a fast-food logo shows that snap decisions .A. can be associativeB. are not unconsciousC. can be dangerousD. are not impulse33. To reverse the negative effects of snap decisions, we should .A. trust our first impressionB. do as people usually doC. think before we actD. ask for expert advices34. John Gottman says that reliable snap reactions are based on .A. critical assessmentB. ―thin sliced‖ studyC. sensible explanationD. adequate information35. The author’s attitude toward reversing the high-speed trend is .A. tolerantB. uncertainC. optimisticD. doubtful参考答案：DACDCText 4Europe is not a gender-equality heaven. In particular, the corporate workplace will never be completely family-friendly until women are part of senior management decisions, and Europe’s top corporate-governance positions remain overwhelmingly male. Indeed, women hold only 14 percent of positions on European corporate boards.The European Union is now considering legislation to compel corporate boards to maintain a certain proportion of women-up to 60%. This proposed mandate was born of frustration. Last year, European Commission Vice President Viviane Reding issued a call to voluntary action. Reding invited corporations to sign up for gender balance goals of 40% female board membership. The Forte foundation in America has now flowed suit with its own list of ―board-ready women.‖ But Reding’s appeal in Europe was considered a failure: only 24 companies took it up.Do we need quotas to ensure that women can continue to climb the corporate ladder fairly as they balance work and family?―Personally, I don’t like quotas,‖ Reding said recently. ―But I like what the quotas do.‖ Quotas get action: they ―open the way to equality and they break through the glass ceiling,‖ according to Reding, a result seen in France and other countries with legally binding provisions on placing women in top business positions.I understand Reding’s reticence --- and her frustration. I don’t like quotas either; they run counter to my belief in meritocracy, governance by the capable. But, when one considers the obstacles to achieving the meritocratic ideal, it does look as if a fairer world must be temporarily ordered.After all, four decades of evidence has now shown that corporations in Europe as well as the US are evading the meritocratic hiring and promotion of women to top positions --- no matter how much ―soft pressure‖ is put upon them. When women do break through to the summit of corporate power --- as, for example, Sheryl Sandberg recently did at Facebook --- they garner massiver attention precisely because they remain the exception to the rule.Of appropriate public policies were in place to help all women --- whether CEOs or their children’s caregivers --- and all families, Sandberg would e no more newswarthy than any other highly capable person living in a more just society.36. In the European corporate workplace, generally _______.[A] women take the lead[B] men have the final say[C] corporate governance is overwhelmed[D] senor management is family-friendly37. The European Union’s intended legislation is _______.[A] a reflection of gender balance[B] a reluctant choice[C] a response to Reding’s call[D] a voluntary action38. According to Reding, quotas may help women ________.[A] get top business positions[B] see through the glass ceiling[C] balance work and family[D] anticipate legal results39. The author’s attitude toward REding’s appeal is one of _______.[A] skepticism[B] objectiveness[C] indifference[D] approval40. Women entering top management become headlines due to the lack of _____.[A] more social justice[B] massive media attention[C] suitable public policies[D] greater ―soft pressure ‖36. 细节题：选B，要含有男性的这个对象，男性主导37. 细节题：选B，选择有陷阱的，干扰项C。

2013年在职联考英语阅读练习题Passage 1As providers and caretakers, adults tend to view the world of children as happy and carefree. After all, kids don’t have jobs to keep or bills to pay, so what could they possibly have to worry about?Plenty! Even very young children have worries and feel stress to some degree. Stress is a function of the demands placed on us and our ability to meet them.Pressures often come from outside sources, but they can also come from within. The pressure we place on ourselves can be most significant because there is often a discrepancy between what we think we ought to be doing and what we are actually doing in our lives.Stress can affect anyone who feels overwhelmed —even kids. In preschoolers, separation from parents can cause anxiety. As kids get older, academic and social pressures create stress.Many kids are too busy to have time to play creatively or relax after school. Kids who complain about the number of activiti es they’re involved in or refuse to go to them may be signaling that they’re overscheduled.Talk with your kids about how they feel about extracurricular activities. If they complain, discuss the pros and cons of quitting one activity. If quitting isn’t an option, explore ways to help manage your child’s time and responsibilities so that they don’t create so much anxiety.Kids’ stress may be intensified by more than just what’s happening in their own lives. Do your kids hear you talking about troubles at work, worrying about a relative’s illness, or fighting with your spouse about financial matters? Parents should watch how they discuss such issues when their kids are near because children will pick up on their parents’ anxieties and start to worry themselves.World news can cause stress. Kids who see disturbing images on TV or hear talk of natural disastersmay worry about their own safety and that of the people they love. Talk to your kids about what they see and hear, and monitor what they watch on TV so that you can help them understand what’s going on.Also, be aware of complicating factors, such as an illness, death of a loved one, or a divorce. When these are added to the everyday pressures kids face, the stress is magnified. Even the most amicable divorce can be a difficult experience for kids because their basic security system — their family — is undergoing a tough change.6. What does the first paragraph want to convey?A. Kids will easily suffer stress too.B. children are happy and carefree all the time.C. very young children do not have worries and stress at any time.D. kids don’t have stress because they don’t have to work7. Which is the following is true?A. only young children have worries and feel stress to some degree.B. the stress is magnified only when the children are being scolded.C. Pressures of children not only come from outside sources but also from inside ones.D. the pressure we place on ourselves does not matter at all.8. Why is the pressure we place on ourselves can be most significant?A. Because difference exists between what we think we should do and what we actually do inour lives.B. Because pressure often come from outside sources.C. Because pressure often come from inside sources.D. Nobody can escape from pressure.9. What does the word Overwhelmed mean?A. stressedB. over pleasedC. angryD. upset10. What is the main idea of the passage?A. How kid’s stress are intensified.B. How the stress is magnified.C. World news can cause stress.D. Sources of Stress of kids and ways to do with it.Passage 2Biologically, there is only one quality which distinguishes us from animals: the ability to laugh. In a divide world, laughter is a unifying force. Human beings oppose each other on a great many issues. Nations may disagree about systems of government and human relations may be plagued by ideological factions and political camps, but we all share the ability to laugh. And laughter, in turn, depends on that most complex and subtle of all human qualities: a sense of humor. Certain comic stereotypes have a universal appeal. This can best be seen from the worldwide popularity of Charlie Chaplin’s early films. The little man at odds with society never fails to amuse no matter which country we come from.A sense of humor may take various forms and laughter may be anything from a refined tingle to an earth quaking roar, but the effect is always the same. Humor helps us to maintain a correct sense of values. It is the one quality which political fanatics appear to lack. If we can see the funny side, we never make the mistake of taking ourselves too seriously. We are always reminded that tragedy is not really far removed from comedy, so we never get a lot sided view of things.This is one of the chief functions of satire and irony. Human pain and suffering are so grim; we hover so often on the brink of war; political realities are usually enough to plunge us into totaldespair. In such circumstances, cartoons and satirical accounts of somber political events redress the balance. They take the wind out of pompous and arrogant politicians who have lost their sense of proportion. They enable us to see that many of our most profound actions are merely comic or absurd. We laugh when a great satirist like Swift writes about war in Gulliver’s Travels. The Lilliputians and their neighbors attack each other because they can’t agree which end to break an egg. We laugh because we meant to laugh; but we are meant to weep too. It is too powerful a weapon to be allowed to flourishin totalitarian regimes.11. The most important of all human qualities is _____.A. a sense of humorB. A sense of satireC. A sense of laughterD. A sense of history12. The author mentions about Charlie Chaplin’s early films because ______.A. they can amuse peopleB. Human beings are different from animalsC. They show that certain comic stereotypes have a universal appealD. They show that people have the same ability to laugh13. One of the chief functions of irony and satire is ______.A. to show absurdity of actionsB. to compensate balanceC. to take the wind out of politiciansD. to show too much grimness in the world14. What do we learn from the sentence “it is too powerful a weapon to be allowed to flourish intotalitarian regimes?”A. It can reveal the truth of political events with satire.B. It can arouse people to riot.C. It shows tragedy and comedy are related.D. It can make people laugh.15. Who is Swift?A. A novelistB. A poetC. A dramatistD. An essayist此文有环球卓越整理发布，转载请注明！。

Human pain and suffering are so grim; we hover so often on the brink of war; political realities are usually enough to plunge us into totaldespair. In such circumstances, cartoons and satirical accounts of somber political events redress the balance. They take the wind out of pompous and arrogant politicians who have lost their sense of proportion. They enable us to see that many of our most profound actions are merely comic or absurd. We laugh when a great satirist like Swift writes about war in Gulliver’s Travels. The Lilliputians and their neighbors attack each other because they can’t agree which end to break an egg. We laugh because we meant to laugh; but we are meant to weep too. It is too powerful a weapon to be allowed to flourishin totalitarian regimes.11. The most important of all human qualities is _____.A. a sense of humorB. A sense of satireC. A sense of laughterD. A sense of history12. The author mentions about Charlie Chaplin’s early films because ______.A. they can amuse peopleB. Human beings are different from animalsC.

一个对获得社会支付的职业感兴趣的人就是工作者；从社会角度来看必须付出的劳动而在个人来看就是自愿选择的娱乐。

一个职业是归类为劳役还是工作不是看其职业本身，而是看从事这一职业的个人爱好。

比如，这个差异并不是体力劳动与脑力劳动之间的差异；一个花匠或皮匠可以是个工作者，而一个银行职员则可能是苦役者。

对此从他对休闲的态度就可以看出。

对于工作者来说，休闲只是他为了更有效地工作而放松休息的时间，因此他花费的休闲时间很可能太少而非太多，他（劳动者）常常死于冠心病或忘记他妻子的生日。

而对于劳役者来说，休闲就是摆脱强制，因此对他来说自然是劳作时间越少而玩的时间越多越好。

62:Recently,the living condition of some college students is frequently referred to as “dwelling-narrowness”.In fact,this embarrassing situation is very serious that few of us can fail to meditate on the causes of it.In the first place,it’s difficult for graduates to bear the high cost of life in big cities.Poor payment thus gives rise to bad living conditions.Next,college students are more ambitious.Many of them are eager to compete in big cities like Shanghai and Beijing,where talents are abundant and positions are limited. Refusing to go back hometown let them suffer in big cities,which indirectly make their situation worse.Generally speaking,college students should be more qualified to better themselves and adjust their goals according to the reality.1---10A B A D D C B B D A11—20A C D C B.B C D B D21---30B D B A A B A C A A31---40B D C A D A D B B C41—50C A D C A D B C A B51---60C A A B D A C B A B61:计划是我们生活中一项非常重要的活动。

在职MBA英语阅读练习题附答案（一）2013年在职MBA英语阅读练习题以及答案， A great deal of attention is being paid today to the so called digital divide-the division of the world into the info(information) rich and the info poor. And that divide does exist today. My wife and I lectured about this looming danger twenty years ago. What was less visible then, however, were the new, positive forces that work against the digital divide. There are reasons to be optimistic. There are technological reasons to hope the digital divide will narrow. As the Internet becomes more and more commercialized, it is in the interest of business to universalize access-after all, the more people online, the more potential customers there are. More and more governments, afraid their countries will be left behind, want to spread Internet access. Within the next decade or two, one to two billion people on the planet will be netted together. As a result, I now believe the digital divide will narrow rather than widen in the years ahead. And that is very good news because the Internet may well be the most powerful tool for combating world poverty that we’ve ever had. Of course, the use of the Internet isn’t the only way to defeat poverty. And the Internet is not the only tool we have. But it has enormous potential.。

(10 points)Given the advantages of electronic money, you might think that we would move quickly to the cashless society in which all payments are made electronically. 1 a true cashless society is probably not around the corner. Indeed, predictions have been 2 for two decades but have not yet come to fruition. For example, Business Week predicted in 1975 that electronic means of payment would soon "revolutionize the very 3 of money itself," only to 4 itself several years later. Why has the movement to a cashless society been so 5 in coming?Although electronic means of payment may be more efficient than a payments system based on paper, several factors work 6 the disappearance of the paper system.

Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. (40 points)Text 1In an essay entitled “Making It in America”, the author Adam Davidson relates a joke from cotton about just how much a modern textile mill has been automated: The average mill only two employees today,”a man and a dog. The man is there to feed the dog i s there to keep the man away from the machines.”Davidson’s article is one of a number of pieces that have recently appeared making the point that the reason we have such stubbornly high unemployment and declining middle-class incomes today is also because of the advances in both globalization and the information technology revolution, which are more rapidly than ever replacing labor with machines or foreign worker.In the past, workers with average skills, doing an average job，could earn an average lifestyle ,But ,today ,average is officially over. Being average just won’t earn you what it used to. It can’t when so many more employers have so much more access to so much more above average cheap foreign labor, cheap robotics, cheap software, cheap automation and cheap genius. Therefore, everyone needs to find their extra-their unique value contribution that makes them stand out in whatever is their field of employment.Yes, new technology has been eating jobs forever, and always will. But there’s been an acceleration. As Davidson notes,”In the 10 years ending in 2009, [U.S.] factories shed workers so fast that they erased almost all the gains of the previous 70 years; roughly one out of every three manufacturing jobs-about 6 million in total -disappeared.There will always be changed-new jobs, new products, new services. But the one thing we know for sure is that with each advance in globalization and the I.T. revolution, the best jobs will require workers to have more and better education to make themselves above average.would be more important than passing some kind of G.I.Bill for the 21st century that ensures that every American has access to poet-high school education.21. The joke in Paragraph 1 is used to illustrate_______[A] the impact of technological advances[B] the alleviation of job pressure[C] the shrinkage of textile mills[D] the decline of middle-class incomes22. According to Paragraph 3, to be a successful employee, one has to______[A] work on cheap software[B] ask for a moderate salary[C] adopt an average lifestyle[D] contribute something unique23. The quotation in Paragraph 4 explains that ______[A] gains of technology have been erased[B] job opportunities are disappearing at a high speed[C] factories are making much less money than before[D] new jobs and services have been offered24. According to the author, to reduce unemployment, the most important is_____[B] to ensure more education for people[C] ro advance economic globalization[D] to pass more bills in the 21st century25. Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for the text?[A] New Law Takes Effect[B] Technology Goes Cheap[C] Average Is Over[D] Recession Is BadText 2A century ago, the immigrants from across the Atlantic inclued settlers and sojourners. Along with the many folks looking to make a permanent home in the United States came those who had no intention to stay, and 7millin people arrived while about 2 million departed. About a quarter of all Italian immigrants, for exanmle, eventually returned to Italy for good. They even had an affectionate nickname, “uccelli di passaggio,” birds of passage.Today, we are much more rigid about immigrants. We divide nemcomers into two categories: legal or illegal, good or bad. We hail them as Americans in the making, or our broken immigrantion system and the long political paralysis over how to fix it. We don’t need more categories, but we need to change the way we think about categories. We need to look beyond strick definitions of legal and illegal. To start, we can recognize the new birds of passage, those living and thriving in the gray areas. We might then begin to solve our immigration challenges.Crop pickers, violinists, construction workers, entrepreneurs, engineers, home health-care aides and physicists are among today’s birds of passage. They are energetic participants in a global economy driven by the flow of work, money and ideas .They prefer to come and go as opportunity calls them , They can manage to have a job in one place and a family in another.United States as a place where they can be productive for a while without committing themselves to staying forever. We need them to feel that home can be both here and there and that they can belong to two nations honorably.Accommodating this new world of people in motion will require new attitudes on both sides of the immigration battle .Looking beyond the culture war logic of right or wrong means opening up the middle ground and understanding that managing immigration today requires multiple paths and multiple outcomes. Including some that are not easy to accomplish legally in the existing system.26 “Birds of passage”refers to those who____[A] immigrate across the Atlantic.[B] leave their home countries for good.[C] stay in a foregin temporaily.[D] find permanent jobs overseas.27 It is implied in paragraph 2 that the current immigration stystem in the US____[A] needs new immigrant categories.[B] has loosened control over immigrants.[C] should be adopted to meet challenges.[D] has been fixeed via political means.28 According to the author, today’s birds of passage want___[A] fiancial incentives.[B] a global recognition.[C] opportunities to get regular jobs.[D] the freedom to stay and leave.29 The author suggests that the birds of passage today should be treated __[A] as faithful partners.[B] with economic favors.[C] with regal tolerance.[D] as mighty rivals.30 选出最适合文章的标题[A] come and go: big mistake.[B] living and thriving : great risk.[C] with or without : great risk.[D] legal or illegal: big mistake.Text 3Scientists have found that although we are prone to snap overreactions, if we take a moment and think about how we are likely to react, we can reduce or even eliminate the negative effects of our quick, hard-wired responses.Snap decisions can be important defense mechanisms; if we are judging whether someone is dangerous, our brains and bodies are hard-wired to react very quickly, within milliseconds. But we need more time to assess other factors. To accurately tell whether someone is sociable, studies show, we need at least a minute, preferably five. It takes a while to judge complex aspects of personality, like neuroticism or open-mindedness.But snap decisions in reaction to rapid stimuli aren’t exclusive to the interpersonal realm. Psychologists at the University of Toronto found that viewing a fast-food logo for just a few milliseconds primes us to read 20 percent faster, even though reading has little to do with eating. We unconsciously associate fast food with speed and impatience and carrytoo long.Yet we can reverse such influences. If we know we will overreact to consumer products or housing options when we see a happy face (one reason good sales representatives and real estate agents are always smiling), we can take a moment before buying. If we know female job screeners are more likely to reject attractive female applicants, we can help screeners understand their biases-or hire outside screeners.John Gottman, the marriage expert, explains that we quickly “thin slice”information reliably only after we ground such snap reactions in “thick sliced”long-term study. When Dr. Gottman really wants to assess whether a couple will stay together, he invites them to his island retreat for a muck longer evaluation; two days, not two seconds.Our ability to mute our hard-wired reactions by pausing is what differentiates us from animals: doge can think about the future only intermittently or for a few minutes. But historically we have spent about 12 percent of our days contemplating the longer term. Alt hough technology might change the way we react, it hasn’t changed our nature. We still have the imaginative capacity to rise above temptation and reverse the high-speed trend.31. The time needed in making decisions may____.[A] vary according to the urgency of the situation[B] prove the complexity of our brain reaction[C] depend on the importance of the assessment[D] predetermine the accuracy of our judgment32. Our reaction to a fast-food logo shows that snao decisions____.[A] can be associative[B] are not unconscious[C] can be dangerous[D] are not impulsive33. Toreverse the negative influences of snap decisions,we should____.[A] trust our first impression[B] do as people usually do[C] think before we act[D] ask for expert advice34. John Gottman says that reliable snap reaction are based on____.[A] critical assessment[B]‘‘thin sliced ’’study[C] sensible explanation[D] adequate information35. The author’s attitude toward reversing the high-speed trend is____.[A] tolerant[B] uncertain[C] optimistic[D] doubtfulText 4Europe is not a gender-equality heaven.In particular, the corporate workplace will never be completely family—friendly until women are part of senior management decisions,and Europe,s top corporate-governance positions remain overwhelmingly male .indeed,women hold only 14 percent of positions on Europe corporate boards.The Europe Union is now considering legislation to compel corporate boards to maintain a certain proportion of women-up to 60 percent.This proposed mandate was born of frustration. Last year, Europe Commission Vice President Viviane Reding issued a call to voluntary action. Reding invited corporations to sign up for gender balance goal of 40 percent female board membership. But her appeal was considered a failure: only 24 companies took it up.Do we need quotas to ensure that women can continue to climb the corporate Ladder fairy as they balance work and family?“Personally, I don’t like quotas,”Reding said recently. “But i like what the quotas do.”Quotas get action: they “open the way to equality and they break through the glass ceiling,”according to Reding, a result seen in France and other countries with legally binding provisions on placing women in top business positions.I understand Reding’s reluctance-and her frustration. I don’t like quotas either; they run counter to my belief in meritocracy, government by the capable. Bur, when one considers the obstacles to achieving the meritocratic ideal, it does look as if a fairer world must be temporarily ordered.After all, four decades of evidence has now shown that corporations in Europe as the US are evading the meritocratic hiring and promotion of women to top position—no matter how much “soft pressure ”is put upon them. When women do break through to the summit of corporate power--as, for example, Sheryl Sandberg recently did at Facebook—they attract massive attention precisely because they remain the exception to the rule.If appropriate pubic policies were in place to help all women---whether CEOs or their children’s caregivers--and all families, Sandberg would be no more newsworthy than any other highly capable person living in a more just society.36. In the European corporate workplace, generally_____.[A] women take the lead[B] men have the final say[C] corporate governance is overwhelmed[D] senior management is family-friendly37. The European Union’s intended legislation is ________.[A] a reflection of gender balance[B] a reluctant choice[C] a response to Reding’s call[D] a voluntary action38. According ti Reding, quotas may help women ______.[A] get top business positions[B] see through the glass ceiling[C] balance work and family[D] anticipate legal results39. The author’s attitude toward Reding’s appeal is one of _________.[A] skepticism[B] objectiveness[C] indifference[D] approval40.

(10 points)[A] Live like a peasant[B] Balance your diet[C] Shopkeepers are your friends[D] Remember to treat yourself[E] Stick to what you need[F] Planning is evervthing[G] Waste not, want notThe hugely popular blog the Skint Foodie chronicles how Tony balances his love of good food with living on benefits. After bills, Tony has ?60 a week to spend, ?40 of which goes on food, but 10 years ago he was earning ?130,000 a I year working in corporate communications and eating at London's betft restaurants'" at least twice a week. Then his marriage failed, his career burned out and his drinking became serious. "The community mental health team saved my life. And I felt like that again, to a certain degree, when people responded to the blog so well. It gave me the validation and confidence that I'd lost. But it's still a day-by-day thing." Now he's living in a council flat and fielding offers from literary agents. He's feeling positive, but he'll carry on blogging - not about eating as cheaply as you can - "there are so many people in a much worse state, with barely any money to spend on food" - but eating well on a budget. Here's his advice for economical foodies.41._____________________Impulsive spending isn't an option, so plan your week's menu in advance, making shopping lists for your ingredients in their exact quantities. I have an Excel template for a week of breakfast, lunch and dinner. Stop laughing: it's not just cost effective but helps you balance your diet. It's also a good idea to shop daily instead of weekly, because, being-human, you'll sometimes change your mind about what you fancy.42____________________________________________________________This is where supermarkets and thci; anonymity come in handy. With them,there's not the same embarrassment as when buying one carrot in a little greengrocer. And if you plan properly, you'll know that you only need, say, 350g of shin of beef and six rashers of bacon, not whatever weight is pre-packed in the supermarket chiller.43_________You may proudly claim to only have frozen peas in the freezer - that's not good enough. Mine is filled with leftovers, bread, stock, meat and fish. Planning ahead should eliminate wastage, but if you have surplus vegetables you'll do a vegetable soup, and all fruits threatening to "go off' will be cooked or juiced.44___________________________________Everyone says this, but it really is a top tip for frugal eaters. Shop at butchers,delis and fish-sellers regularly, even for small things, and be super friendly. Soon you'll feel comfortable asking if they've any knuckles of ham for soups and stews, or beef bones, chicken carcasses and fish heads for stock which, more often than not, Theyil let you have for free.45__________________You won't be eating out a lot, but save your pennies and once every fewmonths treat yourself to a set lunch at a good restaurant - ?1.75 a week for three months gives you ?21 - more than" enough for a three-course lunch atMichelin-starred Arbutus. It's ?16.95 there - or ?12.99 for a large pizza from Domino's: I know which I'd rather eat.Section III TranslationDirections:Translate the following text from English into Chinese.

或者是由于新股发行过多所导致（注意：增发公司数量多于新股首发公司数量不一定意味着融资规模就很大）。

所以，变增发为配股就不一定能达到股市止跌的目的。

2．配股需要、而增发则不需要接受老股东的检验，不能说明上市公司就没有回报股东的意识，因为回报股东的形式有很多种，比如红利的分配等。

就算配股是一种重视老股东的方式，这种方式也不一定就能达到提高再融资门坎的目的，因为股民的信息和判断能力是有限的。

3．企业再融资选择增发的方式，老股东确实只能通过二级市场购进股票，这不意味着对老股东不公平，因为只要老股东对原有企业有信心，他完全可以和全国其他股民一起通过二级市场去继续购买该公司股票――大家平等地竞争，哪有什么不公平？4．通过改增发为配股的方式不一定就能达到遏制圈钱的目的。

圈钱主要是指再融资之后，公司并没有把融资到的钱用在正路上。
