The first settlers to come over to America needed to become good farmers in order to survive.The agricultural industry was grown greatly and now the agricultural job market can be very rewarding.Many of the new agricultural jobs these days deal with the new types of technology that are needed to produce the crops that America needs.
The days of a family working their land by hand and producing a small amount of crops are over.Now many large plantations(种植场)are to harvest a larger amount of crops in a shorter period of time.If you would like to get one of these new types of jobs in the agricultural industry，then you will need to make sure that you stay on top of the new technologies.
Many of these new jobs in the agricultural field have included these new technologies.Two of the new technologies that have brought many new jobs in the agricultural industry are Global Positioning System and biotechnology.The GPS systems really have the ability for farmers to seed and get in their crops in the best possible way.
The biotechnology field has really allowed better and safer fertilizers to be used on crops.Biotechnology has also helped farmers to better understand what helps to make their crops better.Both of these new technologies are very interesting and offer many new opportunities.The agricultural industry still needs quite a bit of hard work to bring in a good crop，but now many people can take advantage of these improvements to make the industry a much better experience.
46．What's the main idea of the passage?
A．New technologies have brought many new jobs to Americans.

D．New technologies are greatly involved in the new agricultural jobs.

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.But do more various jobs lead to greater productivity？There is evidence to suggest that while variety certainly makes the worker's life more enjoyable，it does not actually make him work harder.As far as increasing productivity is concerned，then variety is not an important factor.
Other experts feel that giving the worker freedom to do his job in his own way is important，and there is no doubt that this is true.The problem is that this kind of freedom cannot easily be given in the modern factory with its complicated machinery which must be used in a fixed way.Thus while freedom of choice may be important，there is usually very little that can be done to create it.
Another very important consideration is how each worker contributes to the product he is making.In most factories the worker sees only one part of the product.Some car factories are now experimenting with having many small production lines rather than one large one，so that each worker contributes more to the production of the cars on his line.It would seem that not only is degree of the worker contribution an important factor，therefore，but it is also one we can do something about.
To what extent does more money lead to greater productivity？The workers themselves certainly think this is important.But perhaps they want more money only because the work they do is boring.Money just lets them enjoy their spare time more.A similar argument may explain demands for shorter working hours.Perhaps if we succeed in making their jobs more interesting，they will neither want more money，nor will shorter working hours be so important to them.
51．Which of the following is the best way to make workers work harder according to the author?
A．Increasing their pay.
B．Giving them more spare time.
C．Making the work itself meaningful.
D．Replacing large production lines with small ones.
52．The reason why a worker cannot have freedom in doing the job in his own way is that ________.
A．the machinery is so complex that it should be fixed
B．the production lines are too large in modern factories
C．the bosses can create very little freedom of choices for workers
D．the machines must be operated strictly according to instructions and rules
53．For a worker on an assembly line in a car factory，the job is not enjoyable because ________.
A．he can only make a part of a car
B．he does not know what he is doing
C．his life in spare time is more interesting
D．the importance of his job is not clear to him
54．In the article，the word“productivity”means ________.
A．the activity of producing something
B．the production volume in a time unit
C．the plan and the method of production
D．both the quantity and quality of a product
55．The best title for this passage may be ________.
A．Problems of Modern Workers
B．Making jobs More Interesting
C．Pushing Workers to Produce More
D．How to Improve Labor Conditions
Ⅳ.阅读表达(共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分)
[1]Handwritten thank-you letters are such a simple way of making other people feel good.However，it is strange that so few people write them anymore.At work，a thank-you letter to employees is incredibly effective.It costs little and has no side effects.The effort involved in writing letters is very low.However，the pleasure on receiving them ________.This makes them an excellent way to reward and motivate staff.
[2]Doug Conant，chief executive of Campbell's Soup Company since 2001，knows the power of thank-you letters.In a recent blog for the Harvard Business Review，he said that every day he works with an assistant，combing the company for people deserving thank.He then writes them a thank-you letter.Over the past 10 years he has sent 30,000 thank-you letters to his employees—more than 10 each day.Readers of the blog seem impressed：“Doug.What an inspiring post！Positive，genuine response is uplifting(令人开心的)．..”writes one blogger.
[3]But if these letters are so uplifting，why don't more chief executives write them？There seems to be three reasons.Firstly，chief executives running companies think their own work is more valuable than that of others.Since no one ever writes them thank-you letters，they don't write any themselves.Secondly they aren't close enough to the business to know who deserves thanks.Thirdly，they have forgotten the strange human truth that almost everyone would do almost anything in return for a simple pat on the back.
56．Fill in the blank in Paragraph 1 with proper words.(no more than 3 words)
___________________________________________________________
57．What does Doug Conant do with an assistant every day？(no more than 15 words)

综合检测(二)
1．B 句意：更换电脑的可能性仍在考虑之中。under consideration在考虑中。
2．B 考查句型：祈使句＋and/or＋陈述句。根据句中并列连词and可知，and连接的是两个并列的分句，故选B。如果选A的话，应把句中and去掉。
3．D 考查connect短语的用法。句意：青少年经常把耳机连接到他们的MP5上听音乐，但实际上这对他们的听力不好。根据句意可知此处为过去分词短语作后置定语。connect to意为“与……连接”。
4．C 句意：此项法律通过后，那个州的犯人允许每天有两个小时的户外活动。permit许可，允许。promise允诺；agree同意；admit承认。
5．D 考查动词短语辨析。句意：我们本打算走侧道到达主街，可道旁一块标牌上写着：“此路不通”。get along“前进，与……友好相处”，通常和with搭配；get around“到处旅行，四处走动”；get away“走开，逃脱”；get through“完成，通过，到达”。根据句意故选D。
6．D 考查反意疑问句。英语中有时为了指明向谁请求或命令，祈使句也可以说出主语。祈使句的反意疑问句常使用will you表示征求别人的意见，故选D。
7．A 考查句型。be worth后接动词的-ing形式，表示“值得做……”。该动词与前面名词虽然存在动宾关系，但此句型中用主动表被动，故不用被动语态。
8．C 考查动词。根据句意“消费者对我们新的化妆品反应不错”。react和to搭配“对……作出反应”，符合句意。
9．C 考查名词词义辨析。句意：因未经准许擅自离队一个月，这名士兵以逃兵被捕。permit“专指准许某人做某事、去某地或拥有某物的书面凭证”；allowance“指允许可得到的食物、用品等的份额，尤指允许得到的钱款，故常作津贴解”；leave“主要表示准许度假，休病假、事假，也可指批准的假期本身”；agreement“协议，一致”。
10．A 考查形容词辨析。句意为：“你方便明早九点来吗？”“我们能早一点儿吗？我十点半还有一个会。”convenient便利的，方便的，常用于it is convenient for sb.to do sth.结构。comfortable舒服的；vacant空的，空缺的；free自由的，均不符合题意。
11．D 本题考查学生综合能力。首先要知道he________是定语从句，对先行词The TV set进行修饰。由于the TV set在定语从句中作宾语，所以可以省略关系代词that或which。而定语从句中有have sth. done结构，即文章的句子为：The TV set that/which he has had repaired works well now.主句为The TV set works well now.
12．D 句意：中国政府仍在寻找各种可能的方法(solutions)来解决就业问题。reply answer“回答，答复”；way作“方法，方式”讲时，一般不与problem搭配。
13．B 考查短语辨析。on time准时；at one time同时；all the time一直；in no time立刻，很快。再由句意可知答案应选B。
14．C 考查suggest的用法。由句意可知，第一个suggested表示“建议，提议”，此时that从句的谓语为“should＋动词原形”，should可以省略；第二个suggested为“暗示，间接表明”之意，此时that从句要用陈述语气。
15．B 考查交际用语。根据答语中The more，the happier.人越多越高兴可知对对方的提议表示赞同，故选B。

52．D 推理判断题。根据第2段The problem is that this kind of freedom cannot easily be given in the modern factory with its complicated machinery which must be used in a fixed way中must be used in a fixed way(必须按固定的方式)，可推知答案为D。
53．D 推理判断题。根据第3段In most factories the worker sees only one part of the product...工人看到的只是产品的一部分，而没有意识到做出的贡献，即不清楚工作的重要性，因此认为工作不令人愉快。由此可推出答案为D。
54．B 推理判断题。推断词义。文章中多次出现这个词。根据第1段第一句how to make their workers more productive(多产的)，怎样使工人在一定时间内生产出更多产品。But do more various jobs lead to greater productivity？和To what extent does more money lead to greater productivity？由此可猜测该词指产品数量，故答案为B。

As everybody knows，the traffic problem in our city is becoming more and more serious.
During the rush hours every morning and afternoon，the roads are very crowded.There are traffic jams from time to time.The accident rate becomes higher than before.I think that it is high time for the city government to take some measures to solve this problem.
First of all，we should repair the roads，for some of the roads are in bad condition and it is difficult for drivers to go through.Secondly，we should build more overpasses so as to cut down traffic jams.Thirdly，the production of cars should be controlled，for there are too many cars moving on the roads every day.
I believe as long as these measures are taken，the traffic problem will be solved or at least the accident rate will be lowered.I do hope our government will accept my suggestions.

Ⅳ.阅读理解
Some people think they have an answer to the troubles of traffic jams and air pollution in large cities.Their answer is the bicycle，or“bike”．
In a great many cities，hundreds of people ride bicycles to work every day.In New York city，some bike riders have even formed a group called Bike for a Better City.They claim that if more people rode bicycles to work，there would be fewer automobiles in the downtown section of the city and therefore less dirty air from car engines.
For several years this group has been trying to get the city government to help bike riders.For example，they want the city to draw special lanes—for bicycles only—on some of the main streets，because when bike riders must use the same lanes as cars，there may be accidents.Bike for a Better City feels that if there were special lanes，more people would use bikes.
But no bicycle lanes have been drawn yet.Not everyone thinks it is a good idea.Taxi drivers say it will slow traffic.Some store owners on the main streets say that if there is less traffic，they will have less business.And most people live too far from downtown to travel by bike.
The city government has not yet decided what to do.It wants to keep everyone happy.Only on weekends，Central Park—the largest open place in New York—is closed to cars，and the roads may be used by bicycles only.But Bike for a Better City says that is not enough and keeps fighting to get bicycle lanes downtown.
1．The idea of special bicycle lanes is most preferred by________.
A．the city government
B．some bike riders
C．people living far from downtown
D．some store owners

B．The city government is too busy to do it.

3．Central Park is closed to cars and the roads may be used by bicycles only ________.
A．on Saturdays and Sundays
B．in the afternoons
C．in holidays
D．on weekdays
4．Bike for a Better City is a(n)________．
A．party B．company
C．organization D．person
