阅读理解（第一节20小题，第二节5小题；每小题2分，满分50分）第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项标号涂黑。asixteen years ago, eileen doyles husband, an engineer, took his four children up for an early morning cup of tea, packed a small case and was never seen or heard from again. eileen was astonished and in a state of despair. they had been a happy family and, as far as she knew, there had been nothing wrong with their marriage.every day of the year a small group of men and women quietly pack a few belongings and, without so much as a note or a good-bye, close the front door for the last time, leaving their debts, their worries and their confused families behind them. last year, more than 1,200 men and nearly as many women were reported missing from home the highest in 15 years. many did return home within a year, but others rejected the past completely and are now living a new life somewhere under a different identity.to those left behind this form of desertion is a terrible blow to their pride and self-confidence. even the finality of death might be preferable. at least it does not imply rejection or failure. worse than that, people can be left with an unfinished marriage, not knowing whether they will have to wait seven years before they are free to start a fresh life.clinical psychologist paul brown believes most departures of this kind to be well planned rather than impulsive. “its typical of the kind of personality which seems able to ignore other peoples pain and difficulties. running away, like killing yourself, is a highly aggressive act. by creating an absence the people left behind feel guilty, upset and empty.”41. eileen doyle reacted that way after her husbands leaving, because she_.a. failed to hear from him for a long timeb. had no idea what was wrong with their family lifec. blamed herself for something wrong she didd. wondered why her husband took up all their children42. according to the passage, those people left their families behind for the following reasons except_.a. they couldnt bear their spouse (配偶) b. they were afraid of the burden of debts c. they wanted to forget the past completelyd. they wanted to start a new life somewhere else43. the man or woman left behind with an unfinished marriage usually _.a. admits their responsibility for the situationb. feels embarrassed and uselessc. will have no legal marriage life for seven yearsd. wishes the person who has left were dead 44. some people would even prefer the death to the running away of their spouse because _.a. their spouse would feel greatly relievedb. their spouse would feel no pain during the death c. their spouses death would contribute to them starting a fresh lifed. their spouses death would not bring a feeling of rejection or failure 45. whats the authors attitude towards the departures of this kind?a. objective.b. supportive.c. negative.d. positive.bhow do you see diversity? as a manager, tiffany is responsible for interviewing applicants for some of the positions with her company. during one interview, she noticed that the candidate never made direct eye contact. she was puzzled and somewhat disappointed because she liked the individual otherwise. he had a perfect resume and gave good responses to her questions, but the fact that he never looked her in the eye said “untrustworthy,” so she decided to offer the job to her second choice. “it wasnt until i attended a diversity workshop that i realized the person we passed over was the perfect person.” tiffany admits. what she hadnt known at the time of the interview was that the candidates “different” behavior was simply a cultural misunderstanding. he was an asian-american raised in a family where respect for those in authority was shown by turning away your eyes. “i was just thrown off by the lack of eye contact, not realizing it was cultural,” tiffany says. “i missed out, but will not miss that opportunity again.” many of us have had similar experiences with behaviors we describe as different. as the world becomes smaller and our workplaces more diverse, it is becoming essential to expand our understanding of others and to reexamine some of our false assumptions (假设) .hire advantage at a time when hiring qualified people is becoming more difficult, employers who can have no personal biases (偏见) from the process have an obvious advantage. my company, mindsets llc, helps organizations and individuals see their own blind spots. a real estate (房产) agent we worked with illustrates the positive difference such training can make . “during my mindsets coaching period, i was taught how to own a diversified workforce. i employed people from different cultures and skill sets. the agents were able to make use of their full potential and experiences to build up the company. when the real estate market began to change, it was because we had a diverse agent pool that we were able to stay in the real estate market much longer than others in the same profession.”blinded by genderdale is an account executive who attended one of my workshops in charge of a diverse workforce. “through some of the lessons, i discovered my personal bias.” he recalls. “i learned i had not been looking at a person as a whole person, and being open to differences.” in his case, the blindness was not about culture but rather gender.“i had a management position open in my department; and the two finalists were a man and a woman. had i not attended this workshop, i would have automatically assumed the man was the best candidate because the position required quite a bit of extensive travel. my assumption would have been that even though both candidates were great and could have been successful in the position, i assumed the woman would have wanted to be home with her children and not travel.” dales assumptions are another example of the well-intentioned but incorrect thinking that limits an organizations ability to promote the full potential of a diverse workforce. “i learned from the class that instead of forcing my gender biases into the situation, i needed to present the full range of duties, responsibilities and expectations to all candidates and allow them to make an informed decision.” dale sings high praise for the workshop, “because it helped me make decisions based on fairness.”a better bottom line an open mind about diversity not only improves organizations from inside, it is profitable as well. these comments from a customer service representative show how an inclusive attitude can improve sales.” most of my customers speak english as a second language. one of the best things my company has done is to contract with a language service that offers translations over the phone. it wasnt until my boss received mindsets training that she was able to understand how important inclusiveness was to customer service. as a result, our customer base has increased.” once we start to see people as individuals, we can move positively toward inclusiveness for everyone. diversity is about coming together and taking advantage of our differences and similarities and about building better communities and organizations. when we begin to question our assumptions and challenge what we think we have learned from our past , from the media, peers, family, friends, etc, we begin to realize that some of our conclusions are imperfect or contrary to our fundamental values. we need to train ourselves to think differently, shift our mindsets and realize that diversity opens doors for all of us, creating opportunities in organizations and communities that benefit everyone.46. in tiffanys view, the first candidate was passed over because he _.a. was an asian-american b. didnt perform as perfectly as the second onec.

which of the following statements will dale not agree with about mindsets llcs workshop?a. it helped him make fair decisions.b. it helped him discover his personal bias about gender.c. it helped him look at a person as a whole one.d. it helped him find successful candidates. 50. the last paragraph is intended to tell us the importance of _.a. viewing people as individuals b. challenging our pastc. training ourselves in mindsets workshopsd.building better communications cthey say that sticks and stones may break your bones, but words will never hurt you. yet childhood bullying (欺凌) really can damage your long-term health. gone are the days when bullying was considered an unavoidable and finally harmless part of growing up just last month we learned that childhood bullying can lead to poorer mental health even into middle age.now william copeland at duke university in durham, north carolina, and his colleagues have shown that it can have lasting physiological effects too. they tracked 1,420 nine-year-olds right through their teens. each child was seen up to nine times during the study and asked about bullying. the team then measured levels of c-reactive protein (crp) in their blood. crp is a marker of inflammation (炎症) linked to higher risk of cardiovascular disease (心血管疾病) and problems like diabetes. “because we were collecting biological samples throughout, we were able to look at crp levels in subjects prior to their bullying involvement.” says copeland. “this really gives us an idea of the changes bullying brings about.”although crp levels naturally rise in everyone during adolescence, levels were highest in children who reported suffering from bullies. even at the ages of 19 and 21, children who had once been bullied had crp levels about 1.4 times higher than peers who were neither wrongdoers nor victims. in a cruel twist, the bullies had the lowest levels of all, suggesting they didnt suffer the same health risks. they may even see a benefit from their behavior, though copeland stresses it doesnt defend their actions. “the goal would instead be to find other ways to produce this protective effect without it being at someone elses expense.” he says.andrea danese at kings college london has before shown that ill-treatment during childhood can lead to high levels of inflammation in adult life. “this new study is a helpful addition in showing that these effects extend to another important childhood stressor.” he says. he suggests that care workers monitor levels of crp in children having psychotherapy to see if it is helping to reduce the stress of being bullied.51. what do you know about crp?a. it relates directly to diabetes.b. it is a sign of the inflammation.c. it is a sign of cardiovascular disease.d. it is a sign of physiological effects caused by bullying.52. what does the phrase “prior to” in para.2 mean?a. throughb. during c. after d. before53. what can be learned from paragraph 3?a. crp levels naturally rise
