making its way into Chinas urban vernacular (方言)green.Green collars say no when work is life and life is work.They choose to get out of the fast lane，and explore new ways of living “green”Living green doesnt mean someone is working as an environmentalist，biologist or scientist.Instead，it is more of a lifestyle choice.A typical green collar is welleducated like a white collar but physically tough like a blue collar，likely born in the 70s or 80s and living in one of Chinas big cities，with a monthly income well above 5，000 yuan.The life of a green collar may go something like this：turn off the mobile phone after work，eat only healthy food rich in vitamins，go out on hikes every weekend，and like to help the underprivilegedGreen collars even have their own club.In Beijing，the Green Collar Club is for people who share a“be happy，healthy and helpful” spirit.The club often holds charity parties and uses the donations for environmental protection and poverty relief projects in China.“They are successful in their careers，but do not miss the pleasures in life.They have a lot of money，but do not fall slave to it，” said Zuo Shiguang，one of the founding members of the club.【语篇解读】本文介绍了当今中国大城市中新兴的“绿领”一族的生活方式。1What is the text mainly about?AThe appearance of gold collar workers.BThe increasing awareness of environmental protection.CThe lifestyle of green collars.DNew trends in big cities of China.【解析】主旨大意题。文章第一段引出“绿领”的话题，下文主要介绍了中国大城市新兴的“绿领”的生活方式。【答案】C2Green collars are living green because Athey devoted themselves to environmental protectionBthey spend a lot of time in the openCthey refuse to live an unhealthy lifeDthey have a large income【解析】细节理解题。由第二、三段可知，之所以称为“绿领”，是因为他们追求健康的生活方式，注重环保仅仅是其中一方面的表现。故选C。【答案】C3Which of the following best describes Zuo Shiguangs attitude towards green collars?AScolding.BAppreciative.CDoubtful.DNeutral.【解析】推理判断题。从最后一段可知，Zuo Shiguang是“绿领”俱乐部的创办人之一，对“绿领”们的生活方式非常欣赏。故选B。【答案】B4The underlined part “the underprivileged” in the third paragraph probably refers to those Ain unfavorable conditionsBin faraway placesCpoorly educatedDin heavily polluted areas【解析】词义猜测题。从第三段可知，“绿领”们把帮助弱势群体当作自己的责任。A项最贴切。【答案】ABShould you stay at home to look after your child，or return to work?Maybe you dont have the option.Combining work and motherhood is an issue faced by an increasing number of women every day.New research by the Institute for Economic and Social Research could solve this modernday quandary once and for all.In short，it concludes that going back to work after the birth of a child can have a negative impact on a childs developmentunless you have lots of money.“Growing up in a family in which the mother chooses to work appears to have some adverse consequences for childrens welfare，” the research says.However，it adds that extra money brought in by both parents can lessen some negative effect.The negative effect is also less apparent in children of bettereducated mothers.“It is hard to see anything but gloomy prospects for the children of single parents (who are generally poor)，”the researchers said.This is because in a traditional family where both parents work，extra money brought in by the mother working would compensate for less time spent with the child.In contrast，the researchers said the effects of paternal (父亲的) employment were far more modest，but this did not mean that fathers had no role in shaping their childrens wellbeing.Money brought in by the father would be a major resource for helping children develop.The research says，however，that before parents get too carried away by worrying about working，there are more important issues facing a childs development.Parents personalities and emotional stability (稳定)，parenting practices，and the friends and networks that children experience while growing up will be much bigger factors than whether their mothers work.【语篇解读】母亲应该在外工作，还是在家照顾孩子？研究者认为，母亲在外工作弊大于利。5The extra money brought in by both parents Aplays different roles in shaping a childs wellbeingBcan reduce the negative effect on a childCcan only have negative effect on a childs developmentDmay increase the negative effect on a child【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第四段中的“However，it adds that extra money brought in by both parents can lessen some negative effect.”可知，父母都工作挣钱可以减轻对孩子的一些负面影响。【答案】B6The researchers would agree that Amothers should keep a balance between work and family lifeBthe more money mothers make，the worse their children will beCmothers should make as much money as they canDit would be better for mothers to be with their children at home【解析】推理判断题。文章第三段中的“In short，it concludes that going back to work after the birth of a child can have a negative impact on a childs development”说明，母亲去工作会对孩子的成长产生消极的影响，因此研究者应该赞成母亲在家照顾孩子。【答案】D7What can we learn from the last paragraph?AWhether mothers work is not worth considering.BChildren should experience different social circumstances.CParents should stop worrying about working.DThere are more important factors involved in a childs development.【解析】推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“.there are more important issues facing a childs development.Parents personalities and emotional stability(稳定).will be much bigger factors than whether their mothers work.”可知，有很多另外的因素诸如父母的性格、情绪的稳定性等影响孩子的成长，母亲是否工作并不是最重要的因素。【答案】DCFinding a job is difficult.But what might be even more untoward is figuring out how to get used to the new environment that you are working in when you do finally manage to get a new job.Here are some tips for dealing with the adjustment period.Be friendly to people.Any job is better when you are friends of the people that you are working with.You should be friendly to everyone that you are meeting.Actually listen to what these people tell you.Most people like making friends with those who are willing to listen.Stay positive.One of the things that makes it difficult to adjust to a new job is negativity.If you automatically (无意识地) make judgments about things at the office that you arent going to like，then youre going to find it difficult to approach the job with a positive attitude.Try to focus on the things that you like about the work and stay away from anyone that is saying negative things on the job.Keep relaxed.Accept the fact that you probably arent going to get used to the new job immediately.You are going to make some mistakes.You are going to get confused or youre going to confuse others by doing things differently than what theyre used to.Be relaxed.The thing that you really need to get used to a new job，is just time.Getting used to a new job or a new work environment isnt easy，but it doesnt have to be particularly difficult either.Get to know the people that you are working with and the unspoken rules of the place by paying attention to what is going on around you and accepting that its going to take some time to get used to it all！After you have adjusted to your new job，the way to do the job well is coming to the first question.【语篇解读】找工作难，适应新的工作环境更难。本文为我们提出了一些适应新工作的技巧。8The underlined word “untoward” in Para.1 probably means AdifficultBimpressiveCimportantDshocking【解析】词义猜测题。根据画线词上文的“Finding a job is difficult.”以及画线词前的“even more”可推断，画线词所在句的句意为“获得新工作之后，如何适应新的工作环境更难。”即画线词含义是“困难的”。【答案】A9What can be inferred from the passage?AIts hard to stay positive in a new environment.BListening to others can help you get used to the new environment.CIts improper to make friends with the people that you are working with.DYour judgments about things at the office always make you feel negative.【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段可知，交朋友能帮助人们适应新的环境，人们喜欢和善于倾听别人的人交朋友。由此推断，倾听别人有助于适应新的环境。【答案】B10If the passage continues，what may be talked about?AHow to keep relaxed.BHow to do your job well.CHow to make fewer mistakes in your job.DThe importance of adjusting to your new job.【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段“After you have adjusted to your new job，the way to do the job well is coming to the first question.”可知，适应了新工作之后，如何做好这份工作就成为随之而来的首要问题。由此推断，文章接下来会阐述如何做好你的工作。【答案】B11What would be the best title for this passage?AWhat to do in an interviewBWays to find a satisfactory jobCTips for adjusting to a new jobDHow to get along well with others【解析】标题归纳题。根据全文内容，尤其是第一段“Here are some tips for dealing with the adjustment period.”可知，本文主要讲述的是如何适应新的工作环境。【答案】CDTim Richter and his wife，Linda，had taught for over 30 years near Buffalo，New Yorkhe in computers，she in special education.“Teaching means everything to us，” Tim would say.In April 1998，he learned he would need a heart operation.It was the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about lifes purpose.Not long after the surgery，Tim saw a brochure describing Imagination Library，a program started by Dolly Partonss foundation (基金会) that mailed a book every month to children from birth to age five in the singers hometown of Sevier，Tennessee.“I thought，maybe Linda and I could do something like this when we retire，” Tim recalls.He placed the brochure on his desk，“as a reminder”Five years later，now retired and with that brochure still on the desk，Tim clicked on .The program had been opened up to partners who could take advantage of book and postage discounts.The quality of the books was of great concern to the Richters.Rather than sign up online，they went to Dollywood for a looksee.“We didnt want to give the children rubbish，”says Linda.The books reviewed each year by teachers，literacy specialists，and Dollywood board membersincluded classics such as Ezra Jack Keatss The Snowy Day and newer books like Anna Dewdneys Llama Llama series.Satisfied，the couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and got to work.Since 2004，they have shipped more than 12，200 books to preschoolers in their area.Megan Williams，a mother of four，is more than appreciative：“This program introduces us to books Ive never heard of.”The Richters spend about $400 a month sending books to 200 children.“Some people sit there and wait to die，”says Tim.“Others get as busy as they can in the time they have left.”【语篇解读】本文首先讲述了Tim Richter和Linda Richter夫妇是两位教师，在Tim经历了一次生死攸关的心脏手术后，他们决定在他们退休后加入Imagination Library，计划去帮助孩子们。接着介绍了他们在退休后是如何做的。这让我们大家认识到与其消极地等待死亡还不如做点有意义的事情，让自己活得更充实一些。12What led Tim to think seriously about the meaning of life?AHis health problem.BHis love for teaching.CThe influence of his wife.DThe news from the Web.【解析】细节理解题。由第一段的最后两句话“In April 1998，he learned he would need a heart operation.It was the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about lifes purpose.”可知选A。【答案】A13What did Tim want to do after learning about Imagination Library?AGive out brochures.BDo something similar.CWrite books for children.DRetire from being a teacher.【解析】细节理解题。由第二段中的“I thought，maybe Linda and I could do something like this when we retire，Tim recalls”可知选B。【答案】B14Why did the Richters go to Dollywood?ATo avoid signing up online.BTo meet Dollywood board members.CTo make sure the books were the newest.DTo see if the books were of good quality.【解析】细节理解题。由第四段中的“The quality of the books was of great concern to the Richters.”及“We didnt want to give the children rubbish.”可知D项正确。【答案】D15What can we learn from Tims words in the last paragraph?AHe needs more money to help the children.BHe wonders why some people are so busy.CFie tries to save those waiting to die.DHe considers his efforts worthwhile.【解析】推理判断题。通过Tim的话可知Tim感到自己不是在那儿浪费自己退休后的有限的生命，而是选择了有意义的工作，并且这份工作是值得为之付出的。故选D。【答案】D.阅读填句(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 【导学号：78880051】My mother is a
