For nearly a decade now, Merebeth has been a self-employed pet transport specialist. Her pet transport job was born of the financial crisis(危机)in the late 2000s. The downturn hit the real estate (房地产)firm where she had worked for ten years as an office manager. The firm went broke and left her looking for a new job. One day, while driving near her home, she saw a dog wandering on the road, clearly lost. She took it home, and her sister in Denver agreed to take it. This was a loving home for sure, but 1, 600 miles away. It didn' t take long for Merebeth to decide to drive the dog there herself. It was her first road trip to her new job.
Merebeth' s pet delivery service also satisfies her wanderlust. It has taken her to every state in the US except Montana, Washington and Oregon, she says proudly. If she wants to visit a new place, she will simply find a pet with transport needs there. She travels in all weathers. She has driven through 55 mph winds in Wyoming, heavy flooding and storms in Alabama and total whiteout conditions in Kansas.
This wanderlust is inherited from her father, she says. She moved their family from Canada to California when she was one year old, because he wanted them to explore a new place together. As soon as she graduated from high school she left home to live on Catalina Island off the Californian coast, away from her parents, where she enjoyed a life of sailing and off-road biking.
It turns out that pet transporting pays quite well at about $30, 000 per year before tax. She doesn' t work in summer, as it would be unpleasantly hot for the animals in the car, even with air conditioning. As autumn comes, she gets restless—the same old wanderlust returning. It' s a call she must heed alone, though. Merebeth says, " When I am on the road, I' m just in my own world. I've always been independent-spirited and I just feel strongly that I mush help animals. "
1.Why did Merebeth changed her job
A.She wanted to work near her home.
B.She was tired of working in the office.
C.Her sister asked her to move to Denver.
D.Her former employer was out of business.
2.The word " wanderlust " in paragraph 2 means a desire to ____
A.make money. B.try various jobs.
C.be close to nature. D.travel to different places.
3.What can we learn about Merebeth in her new job
A.She has chances to see rare animals.
B.She works hard throughout the year.
C.She relies on herself the whole time.
D.She earns a basic and tax-free salary.

One of the executives gathered at the Aspen Institute for a day-long leadership workshop using the works of Shakespeare was discussing the role of Brutus in the death of Julius Caesar. " Brutus was not an honourable man, " he said. " He was a traitor (叛徒). And he murdered someone in cold blood. " The agreement was that Brutus had acted with cruelty when other options were available to him. He made a bad decision, they said — at least as it was presented by Shakespeare — to take the lead in murdering Julius Caesar. And though one of the executives acknowledged that Brutus had the good of the republic in mind, Caesar was nevertheless his superior. " You have to understand, " the executives said, " our policy is to obey the chain of command. "
During the last few years, business executives and book writers looking for a new way to advise corporate America have been exploiting Shakespeare' s wisdom for profitable ends. None more so than husband and wife team Kenneth and Carol Adelman, well-known former advisers to the White House, who started up a training company called " Movers and Shakespeares " . They are amateur Shakespeare scholars and Shakespeare lovers, and they have combined their passion and their high-level contacts into a management training business. They conduct between 30 and 40 workshops annually, dealing with half a dozen different plays, mostly for corporations, but also for government agencies.
The workshops all take the same form, focusing on a single play as a kind of case study, and using individual scenes as specific lessons. In Julius Caesar, for example, Cassius' s sly provocation (狡诈的挑唆) of Brutus to take up arms against Caesar was the basis for a discussion of methods of team building and grass roots organizing.
Although neither of the Adelmans is academically trained in literature, the programs contain plenty of Shakespeare tradition and background. Their workshop on Henry V, for example, includes a helpful explanation of Henry' s winning strategy at the Battle of Agincourt. But they do come to the text with a few biases (偏向): their reading of Henry V minimizes his misuse of power. Instead, they emphasize the story of the youth who seizes opportunity and becomes a masterful leader. And at the workshop on Caesar, Mr. Adelmans had little good to say about Brutus, saying " the noblest Roman of them all " couldn' t make his mind up about things.
Many of the participants pointed to very specific elements in the play that they felt to be related. Caesar' s pride, which led to his murder, and Brutus' s mistakes in leading the traitors after the murder, they said, raise vital questions for anyone serving in a business when and how do you resist the boss
4.According to paragraph 1, what did all the executives think of Brutus
A.Cruel. B.Superior. C.Honourable. D.Rude.
5.According to the passage, the Adelmans set up " Movers and Shakespeares " to ____.
A.help executives to understand Shakespeare' s plays better
B.give advice on leadership by analyzing Shakespeare' s plays
C.provide case studies of Shakespeare' s plays in literature workshops
D.guide government agencies to follow the characters in Shakespeare' s plays
6.Why do the Adelmans conduct a workshop on Henry V
A.To highlight the importance of catching opportunities.
B.To encourage masterful leaders to plan strategies to win.
C.To illustrate the harm of prejudices in management.
D.To warn executives against power misuse.
7.It can be inferred from the passage that ____.
A.the Adelmans' program proves biased as the roles of characters are maximized
B.executives feel bored with too many specific elements of Shakespeare' s plays
C.the Adelmans will make more profits if they are professional scholars
D.Shakespeare has played an important role in the management field

Look to many of history's cultural symbols, and there you'll find an ancestor of Frosty, the snowman in the movie Frozen. It appeared on some of the first postcards, starred in some of the earliest silent movies, and was the subject of a couple of the earliest photos, dating all the way back to the 1800s. I discovered even more about one of humanity's earliest forms of life art during several years of research around the world.
For example, snowmen were a phenomenon in the Middle Ages, built with great skill and thought. At a time of limited means of expression, snow was like free art supplies dropped from the sky. It was a popular activity for couples to leisurely walk through town to view the temporary works of chilly art. Some were created by famous artists, including a 19-year-old Michelangelo, who in 1494 was appointed by the ruler of Florence, Italy, to build a snowman in his mansion's courtyard.
The Miracle of 1511 took place during six freezing works called the Winter of Death. The city of Brussels was covered in snowmen—an impressive scene that told stories on every street corner. Some were political in nature, criticizing the church and government. Some were a reflection of people's imagination. For the people of Brussels, this was a defining moment of defining freedom. At least until spring arrived, by which time they were dealing with damaging floods.
If you fear the heyday of the snowman has passed, don't worry: I've learned that some explosive snowman history is still being made today. Every year since 1818, the people of Zurich, Switzerland, celebrate the beginning of spring by blowing up a snowman. On the third Monday of April, the holiday Sechselauten is kicked off when a cotton snowman called the Boogg is stuffed with explosive and paraded through town by bakers and other tradesmen who throw bread to the crowds. The parade ends with the Boogg being placed on a 40-foot pile of firewood. After the bells of the Church of St. Peter have rung six times, representing the passing of winter, the pile is lit. When the snowman explodes, winter is considered officially over—the quicker it is burnt down, the longer summer is said to be.
(1)According to the passage, why did snowmen become a phenomenon in the Middle Ages
A.People thought of snow as holy art supplies.
B.People longed to see masterpieces of snow.
C.Building snowmen was a way for people to express themselves.
D.Building snowmen helped people develop their skill and thought.
(2)“The heyday of the snowman” (paragraph 4) means the time when___________.
A.snowmen were made mainly by artists B.snowmen enjoyed great popularity
C.snowmen were politically criticized D.snowmen caused damaging floods
(3)In Zurich, the blowing up of the Boogg symbolizes__________________.
A.the start of the parade B.the coming of a longer summer
C.the passing of the winter D.the success of tradesmen
(4)What can be concluded about snowmen from the passage
A.They were appreciated in history B.They have lost their value
C.They were related to movies D.They vary in shape and size

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 too long incomprehensible legal contracts and calls for an international standard or kitemark (认证标记) 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 companies will use our data because their business models and uses of data are still evolving. Large colle ctions of personal 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.
9.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.
10.It can be inferred from the passage that Nigel Shadbolt doubts whether ____.
A.social media firms would conduct a survey on the kitemark scheme
B.people would pay as much attention to a kitemark as they think
C.a kitemark scheme would be workable on a nationwide scale
D.the kitemark would help companies develop their business models
11.Andrew Miller thinks social media needs more attention than banks mainly because ____.
A.their users consist largely of kids under 20 years old
B.the language in their contracts is usually harder to understand
C.the information they collected could become more valuable in future
D.it remains unknown how users' data will be taken advantage of
12.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 matters!

In the 1960s, Douglas McGregor, one of the key thinkers in the art of management, developed the now famous Theory X and Theory Y. Theory X is the idea that people instinctively 18. work and will do anything to avoid it. Theory Y is the view that everyone has the potential to find satisfaction in work.
In any case, despite so much evidence to the 19. , many managers still agree to Theory X. They believe, 20. , that their employees need constant supervision if they are to work effectively, or that decisions must be imposed from 21. without consultation. This, of course, makes for authoritarian (专制的) managers.
Different cultures have different ways of 22. people. Unlike authoritarian management, some cultures, particularly in Asia, are well known for the consultative nature of decision-making — all members of the department or work group are asked to 23. to this process. This is management by the collective opinion. Many western companies have tried to imitate such Asian ways of doing things, which are based on general 24. . Some experts say that women will become more effective managers than men because they have the power to reach common goals in a way that traditional 25. managers cannot.
A recent trend has been to encourage employees to use their own initiative, to make decisions on their own without 26. managers first. This empowerment (授权) has been part of the trend towards downsizing: 27. the number of management layers in companies. After de-layering in this way, a company may be 28. with just a top level of senior managers, front-line managers and employees with direct contact with the public. Empowerment takes the idea of delegation (委托) much further than has 29. been the case. Empowerment and delegation mean new forms of management control to 30. that the overall business plan is being followed, and that operations become more profitable under the new organization, rather than less.
Another trend is off-site or 31. management, where teams of people linked by e-mail and the Internet work on projects from their own houses. Project managers evaluate the 32. of the team members in terms of what they produce for projects, rather than the amount of time they spend on them.
18.A.desire B.seek C.lose D.dislike
19.A.contrary B.expectation C.degree D.extreme
20.A.vice versa B.for example C.however D.otherwise
21.A.outside B.inside C.below D.above
22.A.replacing B.assessing C.managing D.encouraging
23.A.refer B.contribute C.object D.apply
24.A.agreement B.practice C.election D.impression
25.A.bossy B.experienced C.western D.male
26.A.asking B.training C.warning D.firing
27.A.doubling B.maintaining C.reducing D.estimating
28.A.honored B.left C.crowded D.compared
29.A.economically B.traditionally C.inadequately D.occasionally
30.A.deny B.admit C.assume D.ensure

10.考查推理判断。根据第四段中的"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."我们能不能多注意一下认证标记?"我认为如果你去做了调查,人们会认为他们会去做,"英国南安普敦大学研究公开数据的Nigel Shadbolt说。可推断,Nigel Shadbolt怀疑人们是否会像他们认为的那样关注认证标记。故选B。

12.考查主旨大意。通读全文可知,现在的网站中或者社交媒体软件中,我们在注册用户名或安装的时候,总会有一些合同或条约让我们签署。很多人从来都没有详细阅读这些合同条款就签名了。文章就此话题展开讨论,作者提出我们应该仔细阅读条款内容,然后再签名"未阅读就接受?"适合做文章标题。故选C。

重庆市南岸区南坪高级中学校2022-2023学年高二上学期9月开学考试英语试题
一、阅读理解
阅读理解
For nearly a decade now, Merebeth has been a self-employed pet transport specialist. Her pet transport job was born of the financial crisis(危机)in the late 2000s. The downturn hit the real estate (房地产)firm where she had worked for ten years as an office manager. The firm went broke and left her looking for a new job. One day, while driving near her home, she saw a dog wandering on the road, clearly lost. She took it home, and her sister in Denver agreed to take it. This was a loving home for sure, but 1, 600 miles away. It didn' t take long for Merebeth to decide to drive the dog there herself. It was her first road trip to her new job.
Merebeth' s pet delivery service also satisfies her wanderlust. It has taken her to every state in the US except Montana, Washington and Oregon, she says proudly. If she wants to visit a new place, she will simply find a pet with transport needs there. She travels in all weathers. She has driven through 55 mph winds in Wyoming, heavy flooding and storms in Alabama and total whiteout conditions in Kansas.
This wanderlust is inherited from her father, she says. She moved their family from Canada to California when she was one year old, because he wanted them to explore a new place together. As soon as she graduated from high school she left home to live on Catalina Island off the Californian coast, away from her parents, where she enjoyed a life of sailing and off-road biking.
It turns out that pet transporting pays quite well at about $30, 000 per year before tax. She doesn' t work in summer, as it would be unpleasantly hot for the animals in the car, even with air conditioning. As autumn comes, she gets restless—the same old wanderlust returning. It' s a call she must heed alone, though. Merebeth says, " When I am on the road, I' m just in my own world. I've always been independent-spirited and I just feel strongly that I mush help animals. "
1.Why did Merebeth changed her job
A.She wanted to work near her home.
B.She was tired of working in the office.
C.Her sister asked her to move to Denver.
D.Her former employer was out of business.
2.The word " wanderlust " in paragraph 2 means a desire to ____
A.make money. B.try various jobs.
C.be close to nature. D.travel to different places.
3.What can we learn about Merebeth in her new job
A.She has chances to see rare animals.
B.She works hard throughout the year.
C.She relies on herself the whole time.
D.She earns a basic and tax-free salary.
【答案】1.D
2.D
3.C
【知识点】推理判断题;词义猜测题;人物传记类;记叙文
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了Merebeth从事的新工作。近十年来,她一直是一名自营宠物运输专家。
【点评】本题考点涉及词义猜测和推理判断两个题型的考查,是一篇人物类阅读,考生需要根据上下文的逻辑关系,进行分析,推理,从而选出正确答案。
1.考查推理判断。根据第一段中的"The downturn hit the real estate (房地产)firm where she had worked for ten years as an office manager. The firm went broke and left her looking for a new job."她曾在一家房地产公司做了10年的办公室经理,经济低迷打击了这家公司。 公司破产了,她只好另寻新工作,可知,Merebeth之所以换工作,是因为她以前的雇主破产了。故选D。
2.考查词义猜测。根据第二段中的"It has taken her to every state in the US except Montana, Washington and Oregon, she says proudly. If she wants to visit a new place, she will simply find a pet with transport needs there. She travels in all weathers."她自豪地说,除了蒙大拿州、华盛顿州和俄勒冈州,她走遍了美国所有的州。如果她想去一个新的地方,她只需要找到一个有交通需要的宠物。 她风雨无阻地旅行,可知,划线词 wanderlust 的意思是"渴望去不同的地方旅行"。故选D。
3.考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的"When I am on the road, I'm just in my own world. I've always been independent-spirited and I just feel strongly that I mush help animals."当我在路上的时候,我只是在自己的世界里。 我一直很独立,我强烈地觉得我必须帮助动物。可知,Merebeth在她的新工作中一直都是靠自己。故选C。

One of the executives gathered at the Aspen Institute for a day-long leadership workshop using the works of Shakespeare was discussing the role of Brutus in the death of Julius Caesar. " Brutus was not an honourable man, " he said. " He was a traitor (叛徒). And he murdered someone in cold blood. " The agreement was that Brutus had acted with cruelty when other options were available to him. He made a bad decision, they said — at least as it was presented by Shakespeare — to take the lead in murdering Julius Caesar. And though one of the executives acknowledged that Brutus had the good of the republic in mind, Caesar was nevertheless his superior. " You have to understand, " the executives said, " our policy is to obey the chain of command. "
During the last few years, business executives and book writers looking for a new way to advise corporate America have been exploiting Shakespeare' s wisdom for profitable ends. None more so than husband and wife team Kenneth and Carol Adelman, well-known former advisers to the White House, who started up a training company called " Movers and Shakespeares " . They are amateur Shakespeare scholars and Shakespeare lovers, and they have combined their passion and their high-level contacts into a management training business. They conduct between 30 and 40 workshops annually, dealing with half a dozen different plays, mostly for corporations, but also for government agencies.
The workshops all take the same form, focusing on a single play as a kind of case study, and using individual scenes as specific lessons. In Julius Caesar, for example, Cassius' s sly provocation (狡诈的挑唆) of Brutus to take up arms against Caesar was the basis for a discussion of methods of team building and grass roots organizing.
Although neither of the Adelmans is academically trained in literature, the programs contain plenty of Shakespeare tradition and background. Their workshop on Henry V, for example, includes a helpful explanation of Henry' s winning strategy at the Battle of Agincourt. But they do come to the text with a few biases (偏向): their reading of Henry V minimizes his misuse of power. Instead, they emphasize the story of the youth who seizes opportunity and becomes a masterful leader. And at the workshop on Caesar, Mr. Adelmans had little good to say about Brutus, saying " the noblest Roman of them all " couldn' t make his mind up about things.
Many of the participants pointed to very specific elements in the play that they felt to be related. Caesar' s pride, which led to his murder, and Brutus' s mistakes in leading the traitors after the murder, they said, raise vital questions for anyone serving in a business when and how do you resist the boss
4.According to paragraph 1, what did all the executives think of Brutus
A.Cruel. B.Superior. C.Honourable. D.Rude.
5.According to the passage, the Adelmans set up " Movers and Shakespeares " to ____.
A.help executives to understand Shakespeare' s plays better
B.give advice on leadership by analyzing Shakespeare' s plays
C.provide case studies of Shakespeare' s plays in literature workshops
D.guide government agencies to follow the characters in Shakespeare' s plays
6.Why do the Adelmans conduct a workshop on Henry V
A.To highlight the importance of catching opportunities.
B.To encourage masterful leaders to plan strategies to win.
C.To illustrate the harm of prejudices in management.
D.To warn executives against power misuse.
7.It can be inferred from the passage that ____.
A.the Adelmans' program proves biased as the roles of characters are maximized
B.executives feel bored with too many specific elements of Shakespeare' s plays
C.the Adelmans will make more profits if they are professional scholars
D.Shakespeare has played an important role in the management field
【答案】4.A
5.B
6.A

8.(2015·上海)阅读理解
Look to many of history's cultural symbols, and there you'll find an ancestor of Frosty, the snowman in the movie Frozen. It appeared on some of the first postcards, starred in some of the earliest silent movies, and was the subject of a couple of the earliest photos, dating all the way back to the 1800s. I discovered even more about one of humanity's earliest forms of life art during several years of research around the world.
For example, snowmen were a phenomenon in the Middle Ages, built with great skill and thought. At a time of limited means of expression, snow was like free art supplies dropped from the sky. It was a popular activity for couples to leisurely walk through town to view the temporary works of chilly art. Some were created by famous artists, including a 19-year-old Michelangelo, who in 1494 was appointed by the ruler of Florence, Italy, to build a snowman in his mansion's courtyard.
The Miracle of 1511 took place during six freezing works called the Winter of Death. The city of Brussels was covered in snowmen—an impressive scene that told stories on every street corner. Some were political in nature, criticizing the church and government. Some were a reflection of people's imagination. For the people of Brussels, this was a defining moment of defining freedom. At least until spring arrived, by which time they were dealing with damaging floods.
If you fear the heyday of the snowman has passed, don't worry: I've learned that some explosive snowman history is still being made today. Every year since 1818, the people of Zurich, Switzerland, celebrate the beginning of spring by blowing up a snowman. On the third Monday of April, the holiday Sechselauten is kicked off when a cotton snowman called the Boogg is stuffed with explosive and paraded through town by bakers and other tradesmen who throw bread to the crowds. The parade ends with the Boogg being placed on a 40-foot pile of firewood. After the bells of the Church of St. Peter have rung six times, representing the passing of winter, the pile is lit. When the snowman explodes, winter is considered officially over—the quicker it is burnt down, the longer summer is said to be.
(1)According to the passage, why did snowmen become a phenomenon in the Middle Ages
A.People thought of snow as holy art supplies.
B.People longed to see masterpieces of snow.
C.Building snowmen was a way for people to express themselves.
D.Building snowmen helped people develop their skill and thought.
(2)“The heyday of the snowman” (paragraph 4) means the time when___________.
A.snowmen were made mainly by artists B.snowmen enjoyed great popularity
C.snowmen were politically criticized D.snowmen caused damaging floods
(3)In Zurich, the blowing up of the Boogg symbolizes__________________.
A.the start of the parade B.the coming of a longer summer
C.the passing of the winter D.the success of tradesmen
(4)What can be concluded about snowmen from the passage
A.They were appreciated in history B.They have lost their value
C.They were related to movies D.They vary in shape and size
【答案】(1)C
(2)B
(3)C
(4)A
【知识点】推理判断题;细节理解题;说明文;社会文化类
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,讲述历史的文化标志:雪人。
(1)考查细节理解。 根据第二段中的“ At a time of limited means of expression, snow was like free art supplies dropped from the sky ”在那时,表达方式的方法有限,雪就像是来自于上天的一种自由艺术。 这说明雪的流行是因为它是一种表达的方式,故选C。
(2)考查细节理解 根据黑体字后面的内容“has passed, don't worry: I've learned that some explosive snowman history is still being made today. “已经过去了,不用担心:我了解到一些历史的雪人现在依然在制造。这表明担心的是现在没有了这样的东西,换句话说就是现在不再流行,所以答案就是B。
(3)考查细节理解。 根据最后一段中的“celebrate the beginning of spring …. 庆祝春天的开始”, 可以知道答案应该是冬天的过去,也就是春天的开始。所以答案是C。
(4)考查推理判断。根据第一段中的”look to many of history's cultural symbols“回顾许多的历史文化标志,另外整篇文章出现过很多的history,结合上下文可以知道答案是A ”雪人在历史上是受欣赏的“。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查,要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上,进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系,进行分析、推理,从而选出正确答案。

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 too long incomprehensible legal contracts and calls for an international standard or kitemark (认证标记) 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 companies will use our data because their business models and uses of data are still evolving. Large colle ctions of personal 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.
9.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.
10.It can be inferred from the passage that Nigel Shadbolt doubts whether ____.
A.social media firms would conduct a survey on the kitemark scheme
B.people would pay as much attention to a kitemark as they think
C.a kitemark scheme would be workable on a nationwide scale
D.the kitemark would help companies develop their business models
11.Andrew Miller thinks social media needs more attention than banks mainly because ____.
A.their users consist largely of kids under 20 years old
B.the language in their contracts is usually harder to understand
C.the information they collected could become more valuable in future
D.it remains unknown how users' data will be taken advantage of
12.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 matters!
【答案】9.A
10.B
11.D
12.C
【知识点】推理判断题;词义猜测题;细节理解题;社会现象类;议论文;文章大意
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文,当我们在社交媒体上注册登记的时候,总会签署一些无意义的法律合同,作者就此现象展开了讨论,并列举了多人的不同观点。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解,词义猜测,推理判断和主旨大意四个题型的考查,是一篇社会现象类阅读,首先要仔细阅读短文,掌握大意,然后结合具体的题目,再读短文,从中找出相关信息,就可以确定正确答案。
9.考查词义猜测。根据第二段中的"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 (认证标记) to identify sites that have clear terms and conditions."英国下议院科学技术委员会上周发布的报告指责一些公司迫使人们签署长而难懂的法律合同,并呼吁使用国际标准或认证标记来识别那些有明确条款和条件的网站。可知,很多社交媒体公司和用户签订了没有意义的法律合同。而这些合同是没有意义的废话,也起不到任何作用,很多用户根本没有仔细阅读合同的具体内容。所以通过上下文的语境可以判断出第1和第3段中的meaningless drivel指的是"社交媒体公司让人们签署的法律合同"。故选A。
10.考查推理判断。根据第四段中的"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."我们能不能多注意一下认证标记?"我认为如果你去做了调查,人们会认为他们会去做,"英国南安普敦大学研究公开数据的Nigel Shadbolt说。可推断,Nigel Shadbolt怀疑人们是否会像他们认为的那样关注认证标记。故选B。
11.考查细节理解。根据第五段"Other organisations 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." 其他机构,如银行,会要求客户签署他们可能不会读或理解的长期合同,但Miller认为,社交媒体需要特别关注,因为它是太新了。他说:"我们仍然不知道孩子们在社交媒体上放的不明智的东西会产生多大的长期影响,而20年后这些东西又会回来伤害到他们。"可知,Andrew Miller认为社交媒体比银行需要更多的关注,主要是因为用户的数据将如何被利用仍然是个未知数。故选D。
12.考查主旨大意。通读全文可知,现在的网站中或者社交媒体软件中,我们在注册用户名或安装的时候,总会有一些合同或条约让我们签署。很多人从来都没有详细阅读这些合同条款就签名了。文章就此话题展开讨论,作者提出我们应该仔细阅读条款内容,然后再签名"未阅读就接受?"适合做文章标题。故选C。

In the 1960s, Douglas McGregor, one of the key thinkers in the art of management, developed the now famous Theory X and Theory Y. Theory X is the idea that people instinctively 18. work and will do anything to avoid it. Theory Y is the view that everyone has the potential to find satisfaction in work.
In any case, despite so much evidence to the 19. , many managers still agree to Theory X. They believe, 20. , that their employees need constant supervision if they are to work effectively, or that decisions must be imposed from 21. without consultation. This, of course, makes for authoritarian (专制的) managers.
Different cultures have different ways of 22. people. Unlike authoritarian management, some cultures, particularly in Asia, are well known for the consultative nature of decision-making — all members of the department or work group are asked to 23. to this process. This is management by the collective opinion. Many western companies have tried to imitate such Asian ways of doing things, which are based on general 24. . Some experts say that women will become more effective managers than men because they have the power to reach common goals in a way that traditional 25. managers cannot.
A recent trend has been to encourage employees to use their own initiative, to make decisions on their own without 26. managers first. This empowerment (授权) has been part of the trend towards downsizing: 27. the number of management layers in companies. After de-layering in this way, a company may be 28. with just a top level of senior managers, front-line managers and employees with direct contact with the public. Empowerment takes the idea of delegation (委托) much further than has 29. been the case. Empowerment and delegation mean new forms of management control to 30. that the overall business plan is being followed, and that operations become more profitable under the new organization, rather than less.
Another trend is off-site or 31. management, where teams of people linked by e-mail and the Internet work on projects from their own houses. Project managers evaluate the 32. of the team members in terms of what they produce for projects, rather than the amount of time they spend on them.
