(2016·江西重点中学盟校第一次联考)Students
wishing
to
safeguard
their
careers
against
changes
in
the
job
market
should
opt
for
science
rather
than
arts
degrees,
according
to
a
survey
of
undergraduates.
Engineering
and
chemistry
were
considered
to
be
the
most
“future
proof”，
as
they
are
courses
most
likely
to
lead
to
an
enduring
and
adaptable
career.
Students
polled
by
Pearson
College
were
broadly
optimistic
that
their
chosen
courses
would
prepare
them
for
a
world
in
which
the
job
market
could
change
dramatically
during
their
working
lives.
But
opinion
was
sharply
divided
over
which
degrees
were
best
for
future proof
careers.
Eighty two
percent
of
respondents
believed
engineering
would
help
develop
future proof
skills,
with
74
percent
believing
the
same
of
chemistry
and
73
percent
of
computer
science.
But
just
33
percent
of
undergraduates
believed
history
would
lead
to
a
future proof
career,
and
40
percent
English.
However
more
than
two
thirds
of
students
(67
percent)
thought
the
world
of
work
would
be
significantly
different
or
completely
unrecognizable
in
20
years.
The
findings,
published
today,
come
after
Education
Secretary
Nicky
Morgan
sparked
controversy
with
claims
that
teenagers
should
steer
clear
of
the
arts
and
humanities
and
opt
for
science
or
maths
subjects
if
they
want
to
access
the
widest
range
of
jobs.
She
said
that
in
previous
decades
students
would
only
take
maths
or
science
if
they
wanted
to
pursue
a
specific
career
such
as
medicine
or
pharmacy,
but
nowadays
that
“couldn't_be_further_from_the_truth”.
“If
you
wanted
to
do
something
different,
or
even
if
you
didn't
know
what
you
wanted
to
do
...
then
the
arts
and
humanities
were
what
you
chose.
Because
they
were
useful
—
we
were
told
—
for
all
kinds
of
jobs.
Of
course
now
we
know
that
couldn't
be
further
from
the
truth,
and
that
the
subjects
that
keep
young
people's
options
open
and
unlock
doors
to
all
sorts
of
careers
are
the
STEM
(science,
technology,
engineering
and
maths)
subjects.”
She
also
described
maths
as
“the
subject
that
employers
value
most”
and
said
that
pupils
who
study
A level
maths
will
earn
10
percent
more
over
their
lifetime.
“These
figures
show
us
that
too
many
young
people
are
making
choices
aged
15
which
will
hold
them
back
for
the
rest
of
their
lives.”she
said.

B
(2016·济南市高三调研)For
twenty
years,
I
saved
all
my
college
course
notes
and
textbooks:
that's
a
lot
of
paper.
Worse,
it's
not
easy
to
carry
them
around
—
and
trust
me,
they
aren't
light
—
on
at
least
seven
moves.
Yet
I
never
once
looked
at
them.
They
sat
in
our
basement,
covered
in
a
thick
layer
of
dust.
If
books
and
papers
could
wonder,
they'd
wonder
why
they
were
still
under
our
stairs
after
all
those
years.
When
would
the
Big
Day
come
Well,
the
Big
Day
eventually
did
arrive;
only
it
was
different
than
expected.
My
wife,
always
more
accepting
changes
than
I
am,
finally
talked
me
into
clearing
out
the
entire
mess.
The
pain
I
experienced
was
also
unexpected.
What
hurt
me
was
to
come
across
those
terrible
papers
I'd
written,
which
reminded
me
of
my
poor
study
habits,
and
an
embarrassing
lack
of
comprehension.
It
was
great
to
get
rid
of
them.
But
it
was
also
a
clearing
of
personal
history.
At
first,
I
struggled
with
this.
The
truth
was
in
the
record
that
my
books,
my
notes,
and
my
papers
were
primary
source
materials,
documenting
an
important
time
in
my
life.
To
clear
them
out
was
to
clear
out
the
truth.
What
I've
learned
since
taking
this
leap
is
that
the
process
is
more
important
than
the
truth.
I
feel
as
if
much
of
my
real
education
during
my
college
years
isn't
in
the
documents
but
now
in
me.
So
I
am
glad
to
free
myself
of
this
physical
burden.
And
what's
better
is
that
I
don't
need
to
look
back
to
those
painful
moments.
They
belong
to
the
past.
You
might
want
to
consider
doing
something
similar,
either
under
the
stairs
of
your
basement
or
in
your
mind.
What
is
the
personal
rubbish
piling
in
your
life
Clear
it
out
and
make
your
life
awesome.
语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者下决心清除了堆积多年的大学课本和笔记后，从开始纠结“清除了过去的记录，就清除了过去的历史”到最终明白“过程才最重要”的道理。
5．Why
was
the
author
finally
determined
to
desert
all
the
college
materials
A．Because
his
wife
persuaded
him
to.
B．Because
they
were
of
no
use
at
all.
C．Because
they
were
heavy
on
the
moves.
D．Because
they
occupied
space
too
long.
解析：选A　细节理解题。根据文章第三段的第二句“My
wife
...
finally
talked
me
into
clearing
out
the
entire
mess.”可知，作者的妻子说服了作者，故选A项。
6．The
author
struggled
at
the
very
beginning
for
________.
A．a
sense
of
pain
B．a
sense
of
embarrassment
C．a
sense
of
regret
for
the
past
D．a
sense
of
losing
part
of
his
history
解析：选D　细节理解题。根据文章第四段中的“But
it
was
also
a
clearing
of
personal
history.”及第五段中的“To
clear
them
out
was
to
clear
out
the
truth.”可知，作者纠结的是“清除了过去的记录，就清除了过去的历史”，故选D项。
7．What
does
the
underlined
word
“it”
in
the
last
paragraph
refer
to
A．The
past
experiences.
B．The
wasted
college related
materials.
C．The
rubbish
in
the
basement.
D．Physical
and
psychological
mess.
解析：选D　代词指代题。根据文章最后两段中的“either
under
the
stairs
of
your
basement
or
in
your
mind”以及“What
is
the
personal
rubbish
piling
in
your
life？”可知，it指代的是物质上和心理上的垃圾，故D项正确。
8．What
would
be
the
best
title
for
the
passage
A．Let
It
Go
B．Sort
It
Out
C．Give
up
the
Past
D．Forget
the
History
解析：选A　标题归纳题。结合全文内容可知，本文主要讲述的是该放弃生活中的“垃圾”的时候，我们就应该任凭它去，并且文章在篇末点题，“Clear
it
out”是关键词，故A项最适合作文章标题。

(2016·四川省南充市第三次适应性考试)Two
recent
studies
have
found
that
punishment
is
not
the
best
way
to
influence
behavior.
One
showed
that
adults
are
much
more
cooperative
if
they
work
in
a
system
based
on
rewards.
Researchers
at
Harvard
University
in
the
United
States
and
the
Stockholm
School
of
Economics
in
Sweden
did
the
study.
They
had
about
two
hundred
college
students
play
a
version
of
the
game
known
as
the
Prisoner's
Dilemma.
The
game
is
based
on
the
tension
(紧张气氛)
between
the
interests
of
an
individual
and
a
group.
The
students
played
in
groups
of
four.
Each
player
could
win
points
for
the
group,
so
they
would
all
gain
equally.
But
each
player
could
also
reward
or
punish
each
of
the
other
three
players,
at
a
cost
to
the
punisher.
Harvard
researcher
David
Rand
says
the
most
successful
behavior
proved
to
be
cooperation.
The
groups
that
rewarded
it
the
most
earned
about
twice
as
much
in
the
game
as
the
groups
that
rewarded
it
the
least.
And
the
more
a
group
punished
itself,
the
lower
its
earnings
were.
The
group
with
the
most
punishment
earned
twenty five
percent
less
than
the
group
with
the
least
punishment.
The
study
appeared
last
month
in
the
journal
Science.
The
other
study
involved
children.
It
was
presented
last
month
in
California
at
a
conference
on
violence
and
abuse.
Researchers
used
intelligence
tests
given
to
two
groups.
More
than
eight
hundred
children
aged
two
to
four
the
first
time
they
were
tested.
More
than
seven
hundred
children
aged
five
to
nine.
The
two
groups
were
retested
four
years
later,
and
the
study
compared
the
results
with
the
first
test.
Both
groups
contained
children
whose
parents
used
physical
punishment
and
children
whose
parents
did
not.
The
study
says
the
IQs
—
or
intelligence
quotients
—
of
the
younger
children
who
were
not
spanked
were
five
points
higher
than
those
who
were.
In
the
older
group,
the
difference
was
almost
three
points.
Murray
Strauss
from
the
University
of
New
Hampshire
worked
with
Mallie
Paschall
from
the
Pacific
Institute
for
Research
and
Evaluation.
Professor
Strauss
has
written
extensively
about
physical
punishment
of
children.
He
says
the
more
they
are
spanked,
the
slower
their
mental
development.
He
also
looked
at
average
IQs
in
other
nations
and
found
them
lower
where
spanking
was
more
common.
语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。文章通过两项研究的数据和结果证明了体罚不是规范行为举止的最好方法。
9．Which
could
be
the
best
title
of
the
passage
A．Punishment
B．The
Best
Way
to
Influence
Behavior
C．Punishment
or
Reward:
Which
Works
Better
on
Behavior
D．Two
Recent
Studies
解析：选C　标题归纳题。通读全文可知，文章通过两项研究来证明：表扬和惩罚这两种方式哪种在规范人的行为方面更有效。C项概括了文章内容，适合做标题。故答案选C。
10．The
underlined
word
“spanked”
probably
means
“______”．
A．won
B．punished
C．tested
D．praised
解析：选B　词义猜测题。根据第六段第二句可知，两组都有父母实行体罚和不实行体罚的孩子。画线词所在句意为“这个研究表明，在年龄较小的孩子中，没有受到体罚的孩子的智商比受到体罚的孩子高五分”。因此画线词的意思与“体罚”意思相近。故答案选B。
11．According
to
the
passage,
the
researchers
may
agree
the
best
way
to
influence
behavior
is
________.
A．rewarding
good
behavior
B．correcting
bad
behavior
C．punishing
badly behaved
children
D．praising
well behaved
children
解析：选A　推理判断题。根据第四段可知，成员之间互相奖励的团队要比互相惩罚的团队得分高。由此可推知，专家认为规范行为举止的最好方式是表扬好的行为。故答案选A。
12．The
author
develops
the
passage
________.
A．in
order
of
time
B．in
order
of
importance
C．by
describing
his
experiences
D．by
using
quotations
(引证)
and
statistics
解析：选D　写作手法题。通读全文可知，文章通过两项研究的数据和结果证明了体罚不是规范行为举止的最好方法。故答案选D。
