Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet Passage One Who talks more women or men The seemingly conflicting evidence is resolved by the difference between what I call public and private speaking More men feel comfortable doing public speaking while more women feel comfortable doing private speaking Another way of capturing these differences is by using the terms reporter talk and rapport talk For most women the language of conversation is primarily a language of rapport a way of establishing connections and negotiating relationships Emphasis is placed on displaying similarities and matching experiences From childhood girls criticize their friends who try to stand out or appear better than others People feel their closest connections at home or in places where they feel at home with one or a few people they feel close to and comfortable with in other words during private speaking But even the most public situations can be approached like private speaking For most men talk is primarily a means to preserve independence and negotiate and maintain status in a hierarchical 等级制度的 social order This is done by exhibiting knowledge and skill and by holding center stage through verbal performance such as story telling joking or conveying information From childhood men learn to use talking as a way to get and keep attention Therefore they are more comfortable speaking in larger groups made up of people they know less well in the 精致服务 卓越品质精致服务 卓越品质 模拟试题四 第6页 共16页 broadest sense public speaking But even the most private situations can be approached like public speaking more like giving a report than establishing rapport 21 A similar term for private talking is A report talk B rapport talk C persuasive talk D women s talk 22 when women talk they tend to A admire their friends who stand out B make others feel at home C approach public situations like private talking D seek close relationship with other speakers 23 Men talk in order to A make new friends B share experience C argue with others D attract attention 24 The purpose of this passage is to A contrast the male and female talking styles B prove that men talk more effectively than women C analyze why men and women are different D draw people s attention to the difference between men and women 25 Which of the following is true A Men talk more than women B Men feel more comfortable making a public speech than women C Men are more knowledgeable than women D Men are more independent than women Passage Two A number of recent books have reworked subjects forms and writing techniques Today s children read stories about divorce death drugs air pollution political extremism and violence Relying on the magic of the illustrator all kinds of books are being published Before they know to read babies can play with books made of cloth or books made to take in the bath Later on they are given picture books that may be cubical or triangular outsized or very small 精致服务 卓越品质精致服务 卓越品质 模拟试题四 第7页 共16页 They also like work books which come with watercolours and paintbrushes and comic books filled with details where they have to spot a figure hidden among thousands of others Not that the traditional children s books are being neglected There are still storybooks where the pages pop up when they are opened to make a forest or a castle Among the latest ideas are interactive stories where readers choose the plot or ending they want and books on CD which are very popular in rich industrialized countries The public has enthusiastically greeted the wealth of creativity displayed by publishers Previously giving a child a book as often seen as improper says Canadian author Marie France Heb rt Her books published by a French language publisher sell like hot cakes in hundreds of thousands of copies There s a real appetite for reading these days and I try to get across to children the passion for reading which is food for the mind and the heart like a medicine or a vitamin 26 Reworked as used in Paragraph 1 means A rewarded B repeated C received D revised 27 In the second paragraph the author lists the kinds of books A recently published B

creativity of publishers 精致服务 卓越品质精致服务 卓越品质 模拟试题四 第8页 共16页 Passage Three Labor force is defined as being the total number of people who are available to work and earn income This definition includes everyone who is employed or seeking paid employment so it includes employers and the self employed Labor is one of the country s resources which can be combined with other resources to produce the goods and services wanted by the community Although the size of the workforce depends a great deal on the size of the total population there are several other influences which also affect it The age distribution of the total population has a very marked effect on the available workforce If the population has a high proportion of very young people or of those too old to work then the available workforce would be lower than if there were an evenly spread age distribution If the population naturally grows rapidly i e the number of births greatly exceeds the number of deaths then as a total population increases proportion the work force declines Sometimes a population is described as aging which means that the birth rate is either falling or growing very slowly and as people retire from the workforce there are insufficient numbers of young people entering it to replace those who are leaving it The population is top heavy 头重脚轻 with older people So the percentage of the population in the workforce declines when there is either a rapid increase in births or a falling birth rate The age distribution of the population has several important effects on the economy If the population is aging and there is an increase in the number of people retiring without a corresponding increase in the number entering the workforce this raises the problem of the ability of the economy to provide a reasonable level of social services to the retired group If the aged are to be cared for in special homes finance must be available for that purpose If the size of the workforce is small relative to the total population then the government tax revenue is relatively low and either the government has less money available to it or the workforce members have to be taxed more heavily 31 Labor force is referred to as A people who are available to work and earn income B self employed people only C only those who are looking for an employment D only the employers 32 According to the passage which of the following factors is NOT mentioned as an influence on the 精致服务 卓越品质精致服务 卓越品质 模拟试题四 第9页 共16页 workforce A The size of the population B The age distribution of the population C The national economy D The number of births and deaths 33 The conclusion which can be drawn safely from the second paragraph is that A a population growth from natural increase leads to a greater proportion of the workforce B a large population does not necessarily mean a higher proportion of workforce C the larger the number of the aged in a population the higher the proportion of the workforce D if the population has an evenly spread age distribution the workforce will be lower 34 When a population is said to be aging A there are more people retiring than those entering the workforce B the birth rate must be growing C there should be an oversupply of workforce D young people outnumber old people 35 The population which is top heavy with older people exerts pressure on A the employers B the self employers C the young people D the economy of the country Passage Four The 20th century had witnessed an overload of information Whether by printed material radio or television coverage the Internet or some other means the world is saturated 饱和 with information Information overload had emerged as a genuine threat We now face the prospect of information obesity Consider a well known newspaper as just one example It is said that a usual weekday edition of The New York Times contains more information than the average person would have come across in his entire lifetime back in 17th century England But in addition to the daily newspaper magazines and books of every description in a multitude of subjects add to the information being produced Books are published by the tens of thousands each year And since scientific information doubles every six years 精致服务 卓越品质精致服务 卓越品质 模拟试题四 第10页 共16页 it is not surprising that worldwide technical journals alone number over 10 000 And the Internet makes vast libraries of information available to computer users What of magazines Business journals women s magazines teen magazines sports and entertainment magazines indeed magazines on almost every subject and human interest have inundated the world all screaming for our attention What about the role of the advertising man the trumpeter 小号手 Advertising agencies have declared war on our senses with ads that demand to be looked heard sniffed and touched They insist that you need the latest product the latest upgrade in order to keep up with the Joneses The world is being overwhelmed by information and people are being invited to get into the fast route on the information superhighway The problem is that the explosion of computer based information networks has resulted in a world where many respond to media information that is really often only a partial representation of the facts and events not the fully story How can we cope when so much information is calling for our attention The answer is screening i e choosing or prioritizing we have to decide what we need to hear see or read To cut through the confusing information maze apply this basic rule Keep it simple Simplicity is recommended and celebrated in many Asian cultures and is even recognized by many in Western cultures as a superior way of living The secret to dealing with information is narrowing your field of information to that which is relevant to our life Writer Duane Elgin stated To live more simply is to live more purposefully and with a minimum of distraction 36 How does the author feel when it comes to the topic Information Overload A Concerned and worried B Quite at ease C Confused and puzzled D Quite angry 37 Which of the following is NOT mentioned in paragraph 2 as the example of information overload A a well known newspaper B a multitude of subjects C magazines and books D technical journals 38 The word inundate in Para 3 probably means A innate B out dated C vast D overwhelm 39 The
