Section B
Directions: Read the following four passages. Each passage is followed by several question or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
When might you need to give blood for a personality test? The answer is that you need to do so when you ask for a job.
Some people believe that your blood group hides no secrets. It shows the “real you”. And the owners of certain blood groups might be particularly good or bad at a certain task. This is the very reason why you could be asked to offer your blood group before being given a job.
The new idea was carried out first in Japan and now it has been brought over to other parts of the world. One important business company in Japan is quite special about these needs: “For our office members, we must have 30 percent of those with group A and 15 percent with AB, 25 percent with B.”
Do you happen to know that if your own blood group is O, you can get things done and sell the goods well? People with blood group A are thinkers, while those with blood group B are highly creative. And if you have problems, ask the ABs to solve them. So if you visited the Japanese company, you would find the O types out selling goods and A types keeping order in the office.
65. This passage seems to lead you to believe _______.
A. your blood group could affect your work
B. blood types can never change your life
C. the idea about blood groups has little scientific basis
D. personality tests are exactly correct
66. People belonging to blood group B might be good at _______.
A. sports and games B. smoothing away difficulties
C. doing office work D. painting and writing
67. From the passage, we know _______.
A. four kinds of blood groups were discovered in Japan
B. people of good blood groups might do their work very well
C. knowing your own blood group, you could get a good job.
D. more and more countries have accepted the new idea about blood groups.
(B)

It is generally accepted that every experience teaches the child something and the effects are cumulative.“Upbringing”is normally used to refer to the treatment and training of the child within the home. This is closely related to the treatment and training of the child in school, which is usually distinguished by the term“education”. In a society such as ours, both parents and teachers are responsible for the opportunities provided for the development of the child, so that upbringing and education are interdependent.
The ideals and practices of child rearing vary from culture to culture. In general, the more rural the community, the more uniform are the customs of child upbringing. In more technologically developed societies, the period of childhood and adolescence tends to be extended over a long time, resulting in more opportunity for education and greater variety in character development.
Early upbringing in the home is naturally affected both by the cultural pattern of the community and by the parents’ capabilities and their aims and depends not only on upbringing and education but also on the innate(天生的) abilities of the child.
Intelligent parents, however, realize that the particular setting of each family is unique, and there can be no rigid general rules.
All parents have to solve the problems of freedom and discipline. The younger the child, the more readily the mother gives in to his demands to avoid disappointing him. She knows that if his energies are not given an outlet, her child’s continuing development may be warped(扭曲).
A child must be allowed to enjoy this“messy”but tactile (触觉的) stage of discovery before he is ready to go on to the less physical pleasures of toys and books. Similarly, throughout life, each stage depends on the satisfactory completion of the one before.
72. The word “cumulative” in Line 2 most probably means .
A. decisive B. extremely beneficial
C. strong D. progressively greater
73. It can be seen from the passage that .
A. the cultural pattern is the single factor that affects a child’s upbringing in the home
B. by no means does the technological factor affect the development of children’s character
C. there are advisable rules for parents to go by in bringing up their children
D. upbringing and education are mutually complementary
74. A child’s development might well be badly affected if .
A. he was subjected to unusually strict discipline
B. his mother often gave in to his demands
C. his energies were freely given an outlet
D. he were brought up in a happy environment
75. As it is presented in the passage, rather than a smooth progression the development of the human character and personality is a series of .
A. acts B. stages C. functions D. completions
( D )
As is known to all, the organization and management of wages and salaries are very complex. Generally speaking, the Accounts Department is responsible for calculations of pay, while the Personnel Department is interested in discussions with the employees about pay.
If a firm wants to adopt a new wage and salary structure, it is essential that the firm should decide on a method of job evaluation and ways of measuring the performance of its employees. In order to be successful, that new pay structure will need agreement between Trade Unions and employers.
In job evaluation, all of the requirements of each job are defined in a detailed job description. Each of those requirements is given a value, usually in “points”, which are added together to give a total value for the job. For middle and higher management, a special method is used to evaluate managers on their knowledge of the job, their responsibility, and their ability to solve problems. Because of the difficulty in measuring management work, however, job grades for managers are often decided without reference to an evaluation system based on points.
In attempting to design a pay system, the Personnel Department should compare the value of each job with those in the job market. It should also consider economic factors such as the cost of living and the labor supply.
It is necessary that payment for a job should vary with any differences in the way that the job is performed. Where it is simple to measure the work done, as in the work done with the hands, monetary encouragement schemes are often chosen, for indirect workers, where measurement is difficult, methods of additional payments are employed.
76. Methods of additional payments are adopted for indirect workers because .
A. their work is not so important as that of other workers
B. they do not get good wages
C. the measurement of their work is difficult
D. the company does not have enough money
77. In designing a new pay system, a firm should consider _ besides comparing the value of each job with values in the job market.
A. the way of evaluating management work
B. the method of calculating the pay
C. the requirements of each job
D. the labor supply and the cost of living
78. Which of the following statements is true?
A. In every company only the Accounts Department is involved in the management of wages and salaries.
B. The method of evaluating higher management work is the same as that of evaluating the job done by workers.
C. If a job is performed differently, the payment for the job should be different too.
D. In most cases, career promotion and pay increase are determined only by the agreement between Trade Union and employers.
79. The main purpose of this passage is to _ .
A. give details about the responsibilities of both the Accounts Department and the Personnel Department
B. tell readers how a firm can succeed in adopting a new pay system
C. explain how the performance of a job can be measured in points
D. convince readers that management work is more difficult to evaluate than the work done by workers.

Directions: Read the text and choose the most suitable heading from this list for each paragraph of the text. There is one extra heading.
A. Who does freelancing?
B. The pros and cons of freelance
C. What is the definition of freelance?
D. Key to freelance success
E. What is freelancing really like?
F. The best way to develop a career
80
Freelance is a word that goes back to medieval times when it was used to describe soldiers who sold their skills to those prepared to pay their market rate. Today it’s an increasingly common way of working for people in a range of occupations and appeals to many who feel constrained by corporate culture.
81
What you gain is freedom of movement, what you can lose is a sense of belonging. You can end up feeling isolated from normal support networks, because suddenly you are responsible for your own welfare, training, safety, career development, equipment, professional updating and a thousand other things, it is easy to remain unaware of these things in the relatively cosseted existence of full-time employment. So before you leap up into this exciting and potentially rewarding way of working, stand back and take a look at the risks.
82
Freelancing has always been a common way of working for writers, artists and performers, but the range of occupations with a substantial number of freelancers is growing steadily. Anyone with a marketable skill can choose to go it alone. Websites offer a free directory listing for those with skills to sell. Their categories include accountants, healthcare consultants, landscape architects and computer trainers. Areas of work that have problems recruiting staff are always keen to employ freelancers.
83.
Being a freelance is different from other forms of self-employment — you still work for an employer or several employers but have to develop a completely different set of relationships with them. Employers are now your customers, you are their supplier. You have to become indispensable (不可缺少的) to them, providing solutions to their problems, some of which they may not even realized they had. In many ways you have to behave like their dream employee, being more willing and available than you may have got used to whilst in a “proper job”.
84.
You also have to be aware of, and sensitive to, the fact that you can be seen as a threat by your customer’s conventional employees, who may regard you as taking work they could do. Successful freelancing relies on the co-operation of everyone you come into contact with. Work that brings you into conflict with an existing workforce can be more trouble than it’s worth.
