第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
A
Like most people, I was brought up to look upon life as a getting. It was not until in my later thirties that I made this important discovery: giving-away makes life so much more exciting. One discovery I made about giving away is that it is almost impossible to give away anything in this world without getting something back, though the return often comes in an unexpected form. One Sunday morning the local post office delivered a letter to my home, though it was addressed to me at my office. I wrote the postmaster a note of appreciation. More than a year later I needed a post office box for a new business I was starting. I was told at the window that there were no boxes left, and that my name would have to go on a long waiting list. As I was about to leave, the postmaster appeared in the doorway. He had overheard our conversation. 揥asn抰 it you that wrote us a letter a year ago about delivering a special delivery to your home? I said it was. 揥ell, you certainly are going to have a box in this post office if you have to make one for you. You don抰 know what a letter like that means to us. We usually get nothing but complains.
56. At first the author looked upon life as a process of getting. He formed this view of life because .
A. other people were selfish B. he thought it exciting to get from others
C. of his early education D. of his character
57. The author wrote a note of appreciation to the post office because .
A. he knew what such a note would mean to the post office.
B. he had discovered giving-away made life all the more exciting
C. he believed he would get something back by doing so
D. the post man delivered an important letter in time
58. When the author needed a post-office box, .
A. many had applied for post-office box before him
B. he asked to put his name on a waiting list
C. he tried to see the postmaster
D. he wrote the postmaster a note of appreciation
59. The postmaster came around because .
A. he overheard this conversation
B. he had received a lot of complaints for lack of post-office box
C. he was thankful for the letter the author had written
D. he was proud of their good service

Governors, lawyers and business leaders have to deal with scientists, and every educated person finds his views affected by science. Yet our science teaching of non-scientists, in school and college, has built up mistaken ideas, dislikes, and the common boast, 揑 never did understand science. Even those students who arrive at college with plans to become scientists usually bring a mistaken picture of science: some have a collection of unorganized facts about science, and some regard the study of science as a game which includes getting the right answer.
The first of these attitudes seems to come from a kind of course which provides various kinds of information; the second, from a training course on how to pass examinations that do not ask about the student抯 understanding but simply require him to put the numbers in the right formulas(公式). Neither type of courses (in school or college) seems to give students an understanding of science as we find it among scientists. Neither shows students how real scientists work and think, how the facts are gathered, how discoveries are made, and what they mean. Young people need good teaching of science, not so much a great wealth of knowledge as a healthy understanding of the nature of science. They need an understanding of knowledge leading to sympathy with science and an eagerness of the way scientists work. Given these, it is easy to encourage later reading and learning.
60. One of the reasons that cause mistaken ideas of science is due to __________.
A. a mistaken picture in students mind
B. the unscientific way of teaching of science
C. the fact that students fail to see the influence of science
D. the fact that students have a collection of unrelated facts about science
61. According to the passage, we can safely say that the subject of the passage is ______.
A. need for good science teaching
B. every person, including governors, lawyers and business leaders should study science
C. young people should form a correct attitude to science
D. students must know what science is and how scientists work and think
62. A good course of science is ______.
A. to teach students to do things according to formulas
B. to provide students with all kinds of information
C. to help students have a good understanding and form a correct attitude to science
D. to encourage students to have a good command of knowledge
63. People such as governors, lawyers and business leaders deal with scientists mainly because ________.
A. they can be affected by scientists when they are together
B. scientists make discoveries and apply them to help people live a more comfortable, stable and safe life
C. they owe much to scientists’ contributions
D. scientists are great persons
C
What should you think about when you try to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value.
Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at mental work or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills.
If you have had a part - time job on Saturday or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part - time job.
Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is bitter to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not feel sorry about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.
64. The first paragraph of the passage is mainly about ________.
A. the indirect value of school work
B. the importance of being good at all subjects
C. knowing one’s strong or weak subjects at school
D. using school performance to help to choose a career
65. In the writer’s opinion, for a student to have a part - time job is probably ________.
A. a good way to find out his weak points
B. one of the best ways of earning extra money
C. of great use for his work in the future
D. a waste of time he could have spent on study
66. If a student’s school record is not good, according to the passage, he________ .
A. may do well in his future work
B. won’t be able to find a suitable job
C. may be a complete failure in the future
D. will regret not having worked harder at school
67. The whole passage centers on ________.
A. knowing oneself in looking for a job
B. developing one’s abilities useful in school
C. gaining much knowledge by working hard at school
D. choosing a career according to what one is skilled in
D
Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. 揑 was a clothes addict, he jokes. 揑 used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled. Today David wears casual clothes-khaki pants and sports shirt-to the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie. 揑抦 working harder than ever, David says, 揳nd I need to feel comfortable.
More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work in the United States. The change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday (but only on Friday). This became known as 揹ress-down Friday of 揷asual Friday. 揥hat started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing. said business consultant Maisly Jones.
Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes? One reason is that it抯 easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code. 揂 lot of young people don抰 want to dress up for work, says the owner of a software company, 搒o it抯 hard to hire people if you have a conservative dress code. Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study conducted by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale. Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative impact on productivity. Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money. 揝uits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day, one person said. 揊or the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes.
68. David Smith refers to himself as having been 揳 clothes addict, because _______.
A. he often wore khaki pants and a sports shirt
B. he couldn抰 stand a clean appearance
C. he wanted his clothes to look neat all the time
D. he didn抰 want to spend much money on clothes
69. According to this passage, which of the following statements is true?
A. Company workers started to dress down about twenty years ago.
B. Dress-down has become an everyday phenomenon since the early 1990s.
C. 揇ress-down Friday was first given as a favor from employers.
D. Many workers want to wear casual clothes to impress people.
70. According to this passage, which of the following statements is false?
A. Many employees don抰 like a conservative dress code.
B. Comfortable clothes make employees more productive.
C. A casual clothes code is welcomed by young employees.
D. All the employers in the U. S. are for casual office wear.
71. In this passage, the following advantages of casual office wear are mentioned in the passage
except _______.
A. saving employees money
B. making employees more attractive
C. encouraging employees to work harder
D. making employees happier

When we think about people who are leaders, we often get a mental picture of someone who is older, smarter, and wiser than ourselves. Studies of leadership, though, have usually found that there is almost no relationship between skill as a leader and traditional measures of intelligence.
Some recent research by psychologist Red Fiedle and his colleagues suggests that both intelligence and experience may be important梑ut just now how important depends upon how stressful the work situation is and what kind of task is to be accomplished. The researchers obtained measures of intelligence, experience, performance, and stress.
Overall, these variables did not relate to one another. Men with high and low intelligence were equally likely to give good performance, as were men with more and less experience, or more and less stress with their bosses. When you look separately at those men who have high stress with their bosses, however, the picture changes.
In high stress situations, there was no connection between intelligence and performance, but there was between experience and performance. In other words, in difficult situations, it was helpful to 搆now the ropes. In low stress situations, the findings were just the opposite. Experience was not related to good performance, but intelligence was. That is, when things are going well, intelligence is very useful in leadership.
A study of fire fighters performance under high and low stress conditions also found the experienced officers performed best under situations of stress. None of this is really very surprising. If you have ever had a supervisory job, you probably found that at least as much energy went into dealing with people as went into managing the job itself. Tests of intelligence梐t least the ones we have now梔o not predict success in dealing with people.
72. What kind of people can do the best job in stress situation?
A. intelligent people B. experienced people
C. calm people D. skilled people
73. In the second sentence of the fourth paragraph, 搕o know the ropes most probably means
.
A. to understand the situation B. to control the situation
C. to get rid of the situation D. to make sure what to do about the situation
74. In the third sentence of the last paragraph, 揳 supervisory job refers to .
A. a management job B. an advisory job
C. a teaching job D. an organizing job
75. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. In stress situations, there are no association between experience and performance.
B. Some recent research suggests that most leaders are lack of intelligence.
C. In low stress situations, intelligence plays an important role in leadership.
D. Generally speaking leaders are likely to be cleverer than ordinary people.

Our class made a survey on our local government抯 decision to speed up its tourism. Most people think tourism can promote cultural exchange among different nationalities, which helps more people learn about our local cultures and customs. They also believe tourism can provide more chances for jobs, which leads to quick development of local economy. Besides, tourism can enrich our lives and improve our living conditions.
However, some people think tourism may cause serious pollution and do damage to the natural environment. What抯 more, too many tourists will bring about heavy traffic problems.
In our opinion, it抯 necessary to develop tourism as it does good to both the people and the local economy. Meanwhile, the government must pay great attention to the environmental protection. Some measures should be taken to keep the balance of nature and get more people to support the project.

Like most people, I was brought up to look upon life as a getting. It was not until in my later thirties that I made this important discovery: giving-away makes life so much more exciting. One discovery I made about giving away is that it is almost impossible to give away anything in this world without getting something back, though the return often comes in an unexpected form. One Sunday morning the local post office delivered a letter to my home, though it was addressed to me at my office. I wrote the postmaster a note of appreciation. More than a year later I needed a post office box for a new business I was starting. I was told at the window that there were no boxes left, and that my name would have to go on a long waiting list. As I was about to leave, the postmaster appeared in the doorway. He had overheard our conversation. 揥asn抰 it you that wrote us a letter a year ago about delivering a special delivery to your home? I said it was. 揥ell, you certainly are going to have a box in this post office if you have to make one for you. You don抰 know what a letter like that means to us. We usually get nothing but complains.
56. At first the author looked upon life as a process of getting. He formed this view of life because .

Governors, lawyers and business leaders have to deal with scientists, and every educated person finds his views affected by science. Yet our science teaching of non-scientists, in school and college, has built up mistaken ideas, dislikes, and the common boast, 揑 never did understand science. Even those students who arrive at college with plans to become scientists usually bring a mistaken picture of science: some have a collection of unorganized facts about science, and some regard the study of science as a game which includes getting the right answer.
The first of these attitudes seems to come from a kind of course which provides various kinds of information; the second, from a training course on how to pass examinations that do not ask about the student抯 understanding but simply require him to put the numbers in the right formulas(公式). Neither type of courses (in school or college) seems to give students an understanding of science as we find it among scientists. Neither shows students how real scientists work and think, how the facts are gathered, how discoveries are made, and what they mean. Young people need good teaching of science, not so much a great wealth of knowledge as a healthy understanding of the nature of science. They need an understanding of knowledge leading to sympathy with science and an eagerness of the way scientists work. Given these, it is easy to encourage later reading and learning.
60. One of the reasons that cause mistaken ideas of science is due to __________.
A. a mistaken picture in students mind
B. the unscientific way of teaching of science
C. the fact that students fail to see the influence of science
D. the fact that students have a collection of unrelated facts about science
61. According to the passage, we can safely say that the subject of the passage is ______.
A. need for good science teaching
B. every person, including governors, lawyers and business leaders should study science
C. young people should form a correct attitude to science
D. students must know what science is and how scientists work and think
62. A good course of science is ______.
A. to teach students to do things according to formulas
B. to provide students with all kinds of information
C. to help students have a good understanding and form a correct attitude to science
D. to encourage students to have a good command of knowledge
63. People such as governors, lawyers and business leaders deal with scientists mainly because ________.
A. they can be affected by scientists when they are together
B. scientists make discoveries and apply them to help people live a more comfortable, stable and safe life
C. they owe much to scientists’ contributions
D. scientists are great persons

What should you think about when you try to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value.
Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at mental work or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills.
If you have had a part - time job on Saturday or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part - time job.
Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is bitter to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not feel sorry about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.
64. The first paragraph of the passage is mainly about ________.
A. the indirect value of school work
B. the importance of being good at all subjects
C. knowing one’s strong or weak subjects at school
D. using school performance to help to choose a career
65. In the writer’s opinion, for a student to have a part - time job is probably ________.
A. a good way to find out his weak points
B. one of the best ways of earning extra money
C. of great use for his work in the future
D. a waste of time he could have spent on study
66. If a student’s school record is not good, according to the passage, he________ .
A. may do well in his future work
B. won’t be able to find a suitable job
C. may be a complete failure in the future
D. will regret not having worked harder at school
67. The whole passage centers on ________.
A. knowing oneself in looking for a job
B. developing one’s abilities useful in school
C. gaining much knowledge by working hard at school
D. choosing a career according to what one is skilled in

Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. 揑 was a clothes addict, he jokes. 揑 used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled. Today David wears casual clothes-khaki pants and sports shirt-to the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie. 揑抦 working harder than ever, David says, 揳nd I need to feel comfortable.
More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work in the United States. The change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday (but only on Friday). This became known as 揹ress-down Friday of 揷asual Friday. 揥hat started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing. said business consultant Maisly Jones.
Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes? One reason is that it抯 easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code. 揂 lot of young people don抰 want to dress up for work, says the owner of a software company, 搒o it抯 hard to hire people if you have a conservative dress code. Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study conducted by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale. Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative impact on productivity. Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money. 揝uits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day, one person said. 揊or the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes.
68. David Smith refers to himself as having been 揳 clothes addict, because _______.
A. he often wore khaki pants and a sports shirt
B. he couldn抰 stand a clean appearance
C. he wanted his clothes to look neat all the time
D. he didn抰 want to spend much money on clothes
69. According to this passage, which of the following statements is true?
A. Company workers started to dress down about twenty years ago.
B. Dress-down has become an everyday phenomenon since the early 1990s.
C. 揇ress-down Friday was first given as a favor from employers.
D. Many workers want to wear casual clothes to impress people.
70. According to this passage, which of the following statements is false?
A. Many employees don抰 like a conservative dress code.
B. Comfortable clothes make employees more productive.
C. A casual clothes code is welcomed by young employees.

When we think about people who are leaders, we often get a mental picture of someone who is older, smarter, and wiser than ourselves. Studies of leadership, though, have usually found that there is almost no relationship between skill as a leader and traditional measures of intelligence.
Some recent research by psychologist Red Fiedle and his colleagues suggests that both intelligence and experience may be important梑ut just now how important depends upon how stressful the work situation is and what kind of task is to be accomplished. The researchers obtained measures of intelligence, experience, performance, and stress.
Overall, these variables did not relate to one another. Men with high and low intelligence were equally likely to give good performance, as were men with more and less experience, or more and less stress with their bosses. When you look separately at those men who have high stress with their bosses, however, the picture changes.
In high stress situations, there was no connection between intelligence and performance, but there was between experience and performance. In other words, in difficult situations, it was helpful to 搆now the ropes. In low stress situations, the findings were just the opposite. Experience was not related to good performance, but intelligence was. That is, when things are going well, intelligence is very useful in leadership.
A study of fire fighters performance under high and low stress conditions also found the experienced officers performed best under situations of stress. None of this is really very surprising. If you have ever had a supervisory job, you probably found that at least as much energy went into dealing with people as went into managing the job itself. Tests of intelligence梐t least the ones we have now梔o not predict success in dealing with people.
72. What kind of people can do the best job in stress situation?
A. intelligent people B. experienced people
C. calm people D. skilled people
73. In the second sentence of the fourth paragraph, 搕o know the ropes most probably means
.
A. to understand the situation B. to control the situation
C. to get rid of the situation D. to make sure what to do about the situation
74. In the third sentence of the last paragraph, 揳 supervisory job refers to .
A. a management job B. an advisory job
C. a teaching job D. an organizing job
75. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. In stress situations, there are no association between experience and performance.
B. Some recent research suggests that most leaders are lack of intelligence.
C. In low stress situations, intelligence plays an important role in leadership.
D. Generally speaking leaders are likely to be cleverer than ordinary people.

Our class made a survey on our local government抯 decision to speed up its tourism. Most people think tourism can promote cultural exchange among different nationalities, which helps more people learn about our local cultures and customs. They also believe tourism can provide more chances for jobs, which leads to quick development of local economy. Besides, tourism can enrich our lives and improve our living conditions.
However, some people think tourism may cause serious pollution and do damage to the natural environment. What抯 more, too many tourists will bring about heavy traffic problems.
In our opinion, it抯 necessary to develop tourism as it does good to both the people and the local economy. Meanwhile, the government must pay great attention to the environmental protection. Some measures should be taken to keep the balance of nature and get more people to support the project.
