第四部分：阅读理解（共15小题，每题2分，满分30分）
A
Since the making in 1086 of the Domesday Survey, a detailed compilation（编纂） that enabled the earliest reasonable estimate of England’s population to be made （the survey did not cover other areas）,the number of people has been increasing．This growth has continued despite some setbacks, by far the most serious of which was the Black Death in the mid-14th century, in which it is estimated that about one third of the population died．There is little concrete information, however, concerning variation in rates of births to deaths and of immigration to emigration until 1801,when the first official census（人口普查） was taken．The assumption is that a population of about two million lived in what became the United Kingdom at the end of the 11th century and that this figure had increased to about 12 million by 1801．This slow growth rate, in contrast with that of more modern times, resulted mainly from the fact that a high birth rate was accompanied by an almost equally high death rate．It is estimated that in the first half of the 18th century three quarters of the children born in London died before they reached adolescence．Despite the awful living conditions it produced, the Industrial Revolution resulted in an acceleration of the birth rate; gradually the greater medical knowledge, improved nutrition, and concern for public health that characterized the 19th and 20th centuries bore fruit in a lower death rate and an overall increase in population．Since the 1930s the population has experienced a complete cycle in its pattern of growth．A low rate of increase during the 1930s was followed by a postwar marriage boom that gave rise to an acceleration in the rate of growth, reaching a peak during the mid-1960s．Since 1964, a considerable fall in the birth rate has brought about a dramatic decline in growth, even giving rise to an absolute decline between 1974 and 1978．
56．Which of the following statements is true as to the Domes Day Survey?
A．It was made in 1086 to show the variation in population growth in England．
B．It was a compilation that first gave an estimation of the population of England．
C．It gave an account of the Black Death in the mid-14th century．
D．It studied the relation of birth rate to death rate．
57．In 1801, it was discovered that _________．
A．one third of the population died in the Black Death
B．the population had increased rapidly due to higher rates of birth and immigration
C．the population had grown very slowly since 1086
D．10 million children had been born since 1086
58．The population growth in England began to increase rapidly _______．
A．since 1801 when the first official census was taken
B．in the 18th century when industrial revolution began
C．in the 19th century when death rate was greatly reduced
D．in the 1930s before the world war Ⅱ broke out
59．The growth rate of population reached the highest point ________．
A．in the1930s B．during mid-1960s
C．between 1964 and 1967 D．between 1974 and 1978
B
While researchers have long shown that tall people earn more than their shorter counterparts, it's not only social discrimination that accounts for this inequality -- tall people are just smarter than their height-challenged peers, a new study finds．
"As early as age three -- before schooling has had a chance to play a role -- and throughout childhood, taller children perform significantly better on cognitive tests," wrote Anne Case and Christina Paxson of Princeton University in a paper published by the National Bureau of Economic Research．
The findings were based primarily on two British studies that followed children born in 1958 and 1970, respectively, through adulthood and a U．S．study on height and occupational choice．
Other studies have pointed to low self-esteem, better health that accompanies greater height, and social discrimination as culprits（罪犯） for lower pay for shorter people．
But researchers Case and Paxson believe the height advantage in the job world is more than just a question of image．
"As adults, taller individuals are more likely to select into higher paying occupations that require more advanced verbal and numerical skills and greater intelligence, for which they earn handsome returns," they wrote．
For both men and women in the United States and the United Kingdom, a height advantage of four inches equated with a 10 percent increase in wages on average．
But the researchers said the differences in performance crop_up long before the tall people enter the job force．Prenatal care（产前护理） and the time between birth and the age of 3 are critical periods for determining future cognitive ability and height．
"Prenatal care and prenatal nutrition are just incredibly important, even more so than we already knew," Case said in an interview．
Since the study's data only included populations in the United Kingdom and the United States, the findings could not be applied to other regions, Case said．
And how tall are the researchers?
They are both about 5 feet 8 inches tall, well above the average height of 5 feet 4 inches for American women．
60．What can be learnt from the study of Anne Case and Christina Paxson is that ______ ．
A．the reason for lower pay for shorter people is social discrimination
B．taller children perform significantly better on cognitive test
C．tall people earn more than shorter counterparts
D．prenatal care and prenatal nutrition are less important than we already knew
61．Which period is the most important for determining future cognitive ability and height?
A．between age 3 and schooling B．between birth and the age of 3
C．the whole childhood D．between 1958 and 1970
62．The underlined phrase “crop up” in the Eighth Paragraph is closest in meaning to ______．
A．get in B．rise up C．come up D．stand up
63．The best title for this passage would be _______．
A．Tall people earn more than shorter counterparts
B．A study on height and occupational choice
C．The difference between tall people and short people
D．Taller people are smarter
C

When former American President Bill Clinton travelled to South Korea to visit President Kim Young Sam, he repeatedly referred to the Korean president's wife as Mrs．Kim．By mistake, President Clinton’ s advisers thought that Koreans have the same naming customs as the Japanese．Clinton had not been told that, in Korea, wives keep their family names．President Kim Young Sam's wife was named Sohn Myong Suk．Therefore, she should be addressed （称谓） as Mrs．Sohn．
President Clinton arrived in Korea directly after leaving Japan and had not changed his culture gears．His failure to follow Korean customs gave the impression that Korea was not as important to him as Japan．
In addition to Koreans, some Asian husbands and wives do not share the same family names．This practice often puzzles English-speaking teachers when talking with a pupil’s parents．They become puzzled about the student's correct last name．Placing the family name first is common among a number of Asian cultures．
Mexican naming customs are different as well．When a woman marries, she keeps her family name and adds her husband's name after the word de （of）．This affects how they fill in forms in the United States．When requested to fill in a middle name, they generally write the father's family name．But Mexicans are addressed by the family name of the mother．This often causes puzzlement．
Here are a few ways to deal with such difficult situations: don’t always think that a married woman uses her husband's last name．Remember that in many Asian cultures, the order of first and last names is reversed．Ask which name a person would prefer to use．If the name is difficult to pronounce, admit it, and ask the person to help you say it correctly．
67．The story of Bill Clinton is used to__________．
A．improve US-Korean relations B．introduce the topic of the text
C．describe his visit to Korea D．tell us how to address a person
68．The word "gears" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to_______．
A．action plans B．naming customs
C．travel maps D．thinking patterns
69．When a woman marries in Korea, she ___________．
A．continues to use her family name B．uses her husband's given name
C．shares her husband's family name D．adds her husband's given name to hers
70．To address a married woman properly, you'd better______．
A．use her middle name B．use her husband's first name
C．ask her which name she likes D．change the order of her names
Some people who find themselves facing a problem react by just giving up．But it is not good to escape from problems by giving up or by making excuses for failures．You may be sure that all young people go through the same difficult process that you are going through: meeting new situations, developing new skills, and testing their abilities．
If you are unhappy about something, face it．Try to state the problem in a few words, so that you will know exactly what you are_up_against．Then see if you can “put your finger” on the cause of your unhappiness．
In many cases, we only “think” there is no solution to a particular problem．But often we can overcome the problem and achieve the goal by making a direct attack．
For example, a boy wanted to be a debater（辩论家）．When he tried out for the debating team as a freshman, the coach thought he was hopeless．He was shy; he had a high-pitched voice; and his posture（体态） was poor．Although he was given little hope of success, he took advantage of every opportunity to debate．He studied successful speakers and evaluated his own weaknesses and advantages．Then he spent many hours learning all the facts on the topics for debate, and worked at developing good posture and at speaking clearly．By his junior year, he made the school debating team, and in his senior year he was on the winning team in his state．He achieved his goal because he had made a direct attack upon his problem．
Although direct attack is often the best way to meet problems, we have to be realistic（现实的） in judging situations．Sometimes it is necessary to change either the method or the goal．
A boy who wants to be a great football player may not be too strong and not quite fast enough for football．In this situation, becoming a great football player may be an unreasonable goal for him．However, he may become outstanding in tennis or golf, and satisfy his desire to take part in sports．
A girl who is not good-looking may decide that she cannot win popularity with her face, and so she may try to develop an interesting personality, which eventually will get her much further．In this situation, she must change her method of achieving her goal．
So, although direct attack is often the best way to handle problems, it is important to study the situation and make a wise decision about what to do．
71．From the first paragraph, we can infer that________．
A．not all people will meet the problems that they can’t solve
B．not all people can solve the problems that they meet
C．all people will not give up finding the solutions to problems
D．all people will make some excuses for failures
72．The underlined phrase “are up against” in the second paragraph could be best replaced by______．
A．are dealing with B．are faced with
C．meet with D．look after
73．A boy has talent in teaching, but he didn’t take the course of teaching, what method will he use to solve his problem?
A．Changing the goal． B．Judging situations．
C．Changing his tactics． D．Making a direct attack．
74．Which of the following best shows the structure of the text?
（①-⑧ stand for “paragraph 1—paragraph 8”）
75．Which of the following is not right?
A．When we meet difficulties, it is the best to give a direct attack．
B．If a girl is not good looking, she’d better change her style of appearance．
C．Whenever we face difficulty, we can find a way out, whatever it is．
D．Both a direct attack and a good analysis of the reality are good for solving problems．

阅读下面的短文，并根据文章后的要求答题。（请注意问题后的词数要求）
Even if you really enjoy your job, it’ s still possible to battle boredom as you work．You may not be able to make big changes---or change your job---but you can make small adjustments to your routine that can make every day seem, well, a little less routine．
1．Switch Your Seat
Change your outlook at the office by changing your office．Ask your supervisor to help you find a new desk．Even switching desks with a neighboring coworker can offer a fresh atmosphere．
If it's not possible to change your location, see if you can change your desk’s direction．A new view can be just as refreshing as a new location．
2．______________
Start and end your day in a different way．Consider a new mode of transportation, if it’s possible．Take a subway．Ride a bike on sunny days．Carpool with a coworker．Use a new route to get to your job．You needn't change it for ever---just long enough to help you escape the boredom．
3．Find a New Work Style
Sick of attending that long-standing Monday morning meeting? Try to change it to the afternoon．
If you find yourself feeling most bored in the afternoons, try to arrange to do your favorite tasks then and tackle less desirable projects in the mornings．
If you usually communicate with coworkers via email and instant messaging, start dealing with people face to face．Increased communication with coworkers may help improve your mood．
4．Get and Set a Goal
If your work is short of objectives, it's no wonder that work has become boring．Identify a goal and set an “achieve by” date for it．
Your_goal_needn’t_be_lofty_as_long_as_you_have_sufficient_enthusiasm_for_it．Perhaps you want to make a new project．Maybe you’d like to pursue a promotion．Or you may even set a goal of finding a new job altogether．Whatever it is, actively move toward an objective．
76．What is the purpose of the passage? （within 15 words）

参考例文：
Recently，the incident of Sanlu milk powder has become the focus of people's attention．According to the investigation of related departments，the powder was found to contain a chemical called C3N6H6 which can cause great damage to infants' health．So far，four children have died and approximately 54，000 have developed illness after drinking the milk．
From this incident，we can see that there are still more things to be done．Firstly，the government needs everything possible to ensure the quality of products，particularly the safety of food as this concerns everyone's life．Secondly，as for the producers，it is very important for them to be morally honest．They should never try to pursue profit or economic growth at the expense of health and life of people．Thirdly，we consumers must attach importance to the things we eat and develop an awareness of how to protect our legal rights if cheated．Only in this way will we be able to build a more secure and harmonious society．
