"Life in the city is too dull. C atching elephants is an adventure and the ex citement lasts for days after the chase, " she says.But Parbati doesn’t catch elephants just for fun. “My work, ” she says, “is to rescu e man from the elephants, and to keep the elephants safe from man. ” And this is exac tly what Parbati has been doing for many y ears. Increasingly, the Indian elephant is ang ry: for many years, illegal hunters have atta cked it and its home in the jungle has been reduced to small pieces of land. It is now f ighting back. Whenever wild elephants enter a tea garden or a village, Parbati is called to guide the animals back to the jungle befo re they can kill.The work of an elephant tamer also inv olves love and devotion. A good elephant ta mer will spend hours a day singing love son gs to a newly captured elephant. “Eventually they grow to love their tamers and never f orget them. They are also more loyal than h umans, ” she said, as she climbed up one of her elephants and sat on the giant, happy animal. An elephant princess indeed!65. For Parbati, catching elephants is m ainly to ________.A. get long lasting excitementB. keep bo th man and elephants safeC. send them back to the jungleD. ma ke the angry elephants tame66. Before Parbati studied in a boarding school, ________.A. she spent her time hunting with her fatherB. she learned how to sing love songsC. she had already been called an eleph ant princessD. she was taught how to hunt tigers67. Indian elephants are getting increasi ngly angry and they revenge because ______ _ A. they are caught and sent for heavy workB. illegal hunters capture them and kill themC. they are attacked and their land gets limitedD. dogs often bark at them and chase t hem68. The passage starts with an elephant story in order to explain that in India _____A. people easily fall victim to elephants’attacksB. the man-elephant relationship is getti ng worseC. elephant tamers are in short supplyD. dogs are as powerful as elephants(B)Trevor,C.O., Lansford, B. and Black, J. W., 2004, “Employee turnover (人事变更) an d job performance: monitoring the influences of salary growth and promotion”, Journal o f Armchair Psychology, vol. 113, no. 1, pp. 56-64.In this article Trevor et al. review the i nfluences of pay and job opportunities in res pect of job performance, turnover rates and employees' job attitude. The authors use dat a gained through organizational surveys of b lue-chip companies in Vancouver, Canada to try to identify the main cause of employee turnover and whether it is linked to salary growth. Their research focuses on assessing a range of pay structures such as pay for p erformance and organizational reward plans. The article is useful as Trevor et al. sugges t that there are numerous reasons for emplo yee turnover and a variety of differences in employees' job attitude and performance. Th e main limitation of the article is that the s urvey sample was restricted to mid-level ma nagement, thus the authors indicate that furt her, more extensive research needs to be un dertaken to develop a more in-depth underst anding of employee turnover and job perfor mance. As this article was published in a pr ofessional journal, the findings can be consid ered reliable. It will be useful additional info rmation for the research on pay structures.The following card includes a brief sum mary and a short assessment of a research paper. It can provide a guide for further re ading on the topic.69. The research paper published is pri marily concerned withA. the way of preventing employee turn overB. methods of improving employee perfo rmanceC. factors affecting employee turnover a nd performanceD. pay structures based on employee pe rformance70. As is mentioned in the card, the lim itation of the research paper mainly lies in t hat.A. the data analysis is hardly reliableB. the research sample is not wide enou ghC. the findings are of no practical valueD. the research method is out-of-date71. Who might be most interested in thi s piece of information?A. Job hunters.B. Employees in blue-chip companies.C. Mid-level managers.D. Researchers on employee turnover.(C)The 2012 London Olympics had enough problems to worry about. But one more has just been added—a communications blacko ut caused by solar storms.After a period of calm within the Sun, scientists have detected the signs of a flesh c ycle of sunspots that could peak in 2012, jus t in time for the arrival of the Olympic torc h in London.Now scientists believe that this peak cou ld result in vast solar explosions that could t hrow billions of tons of charged matter towa rds the Earth, causing strong solar storms t hat could jam the telecommunications satellit es and interact links sending five Olympic b roadcast from London.“The Sun’s ac tivity has a strong influen ce on the Earth. The Olympics could be in the middle of the next solar maximum whic h could affect the functions of communicatio ns satellites, ” said Professor Richard Harris on, head of space physics at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire.At the peak of the cycle, violent outburs ts called coronal mass ejections (日冕物质抛射) occur in the Sun’s atmosphere, throwing out great quantities of electrically-charged matter. “A coronal mass ejection can carry a billion tons of solar material into space at over a million kilometres per hour. Suc h events can expose astronauts to a deadly a mount, can disable satellites, cause power fai lures on Earth and disturb communications,” Professor Harrison added. The risk is gre atest during a solar maximum when there is the greatest number of sunspots.Next week in America, NASA is schedul ed to launch a satellite for monitoring solar activity called the Solar Dynamics Observato ry (SDO), which will take images of the Sun that are 10 times clearer than the most ad vanced televisions available.The Rutherford Appleton Laboratory hel ped to make the high-tech cameras that will capture images of the solar flares (太阳耀斑) and explosions as they occur.Professor Richard Hold away, the lab’s director, said that the SDO should be able t o provide early warning of a solar flare or explosion big enough to affect satellite comm unications on Earth “If we have advance wa rning, we’ll be able to reduce the damage. What you don’t want is things switching off fo r a week with no idea of what’s caused t he problem,” he said.()72. The phrase “communications blackou t” in paragraph 1 most probably refers to _ _______ during the 2012 Olympics.A. the extinguishing of the Olympic torc hB. the collapse of broadcasting systemsC. the transportation breakdown in Lon donD. the destruction of weather satellites73. What can be inferred about the sola r activity described in the passage?A. The most fatal matter from the coro na falls onto Earth.B. The solar storm peak occurs in the middle of each cycle.C. It takes several seconds for the char ged matter to reach Earth.D. The number of sunspots declines afte r coronal mass ejections.74. according to the passage, NASA will launch a satellite to ________.A. take images of the solar systemB. provide early warning of thunderstormsC. keep track of solar activitiesD. impr ove the communications on Earth75. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. Solar Storms: An Invisible KillerB. Solar Storms: Earth Environment in DangerC. Solar Storms: Threatening the Huma n RaceD. Solar Storms: Human Activities to B e TroubledSection CA. Drug overuse and its consequenceB. The problem of drug overuse in Ame ricaC. Benefits of medicine and its wise useD. Female drug overuse with reference t o that of malesE. Misuse of medicine among the young generationF. Improper use of medicine among seni or citizens76. ________Nowadays, millions of people misuse and even overuse pain medications and other dr ugs. Research by the American National Inst itute on Drug Abuse (NIDA, 1999) shows th at around 2% of the population over age 12 were using drugs non-medically.77. ________NIDA views medications as a powerful f orce for good in the contemporary world. T hey reduce and remove pain for millions of people suffering from illness and disease. Th ey make it possible for doctors to perform c omplicated surgery to save lives. Many peopl e afflicted by serious medical conditions are able to control their symptoms and become active, contributing citizens. NIDA points out that most individuals who take these drags use them in a responsible.78. ________Nevertheless, overuse of drugs such as o pium, central nervous system (CNS) depressa nts and stimulants does lead to harmful reli ance in some people and is therefore becomi ng a serious public health concern. Althoughthis abuse affects many people worldwide, p articular trends of concern to the medical pr ofession in the US appear among older adult s, teenagers arid women.79. ________Though it may be a surprise to many, t he misuse of medications may be the most c ommon form of drug abuse among the elder ly. Dr Kenneth Schrader of Duke University, North Carolina states that although the eld erly represent about 13% of the US populati on, those aged 65 and over account for the consumption of one third of all drugs. Peopl e in this age group use medications roughly three times more than the general populatio n and have poorer compliance with instructi on for use. In another study of elderly patie nts admitted to treatment programs, 70% we re women who had overused medicines.80. ________Unfortunately, this trend among women does not only affect those aged over 60. In general, among women and men who are usi ng either an anti-anxiety drug or a sedative, women are twice as likely to become addict ed. In addition, statistics compiled for 12-17 year olds show that teenage girls are more l ikely than teenage boys to begin overusing p sychotherapeutic medication such as painkille rs, tranquillizers, stimulants and sedatives.Section DPhys ed (physical education) is making a comeback as a part of the school core cur riculum(核心课程), but with a difference. Wh ile group sports are still part of the curricul um, the new way is to teach skills that are useful beyond gym class. Instead of learning how to climb a rope, children are taught t o lift weights, balance their diets and build physical endurance. In this way, kids are giv en the tools and skills and experiences so th ey can lead a physically active life the rest of their life.Considering that 15 percent of American children 6 to 18 are overweight, supporters say more money and thought must be put i nto phys ed curriculum. In many cases, that may mean not just replacing the old gym-cl ass model with fitness programs but also sta rting up phys ed programs because school b oards often “put P. E. on the chopping bloc k, cutting it entirely or decreasing its teachers or the days it is offered, ” says Alicia M oag-Stahlberg, the executive director of Actio n for Health Kids. The difference in phys e d programs is partly due to the lack of a n ational standard. “Physical education needs t o be part of the core curriculum, ” she add ed.The wisdom of the new approach has so me scientific support. Researchers at the Uni versity of Wisconsin have demonstrated howeffective the fit-for-life model of gym class can be. They observed how 50 overweight ch ildren lost more weight when they cycled an d skied cross-country than when they played sports. The researchers also found that teac hing sports like football resulted in less over all movement, partly because reluctant stude nts were able to sit on the bench.Another problem with simply teaching g roup sports in gym class is that only a tiny percentage of students continue playing them after graduating from high school. The new method teaches sells that translate to adulth ood.()(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS. )81. In the new P. E. program, children learn to lift weights, balance their diets and build physical endurance rather than ______ __.82. As for P. E., some school boards eit her ________.83.
