first it is useful in educational advancement. it is necessary for understanding other disciplines. only philosophy questions the nature of the concepts used in a discipline, and its relation to other discoveries. and through the study of philosophy, one develops sound methods of research and analysis that can be applied to any field. there are a number of general uses of philosophy. it strengthens ones ability to solve problems, to communicate, to organize ideas and issues, to persuade, and to take what is the most important form a large quantity of data. these general uses are of great benefit in the career field, not necessarily obtaining ones first job after graduation, but for preparing for position of responsibility, management and leadership later on. it is very shortsighted after all, to take a course of studies only for the purpose of getting ones first job. the useful skills developed through the study of philosophy have significant long-term benefits in career advancement. no other discipline systematically follows the ideals of wisdom, leadership, and capacity to resolve human conflict.72.according to paragraph 1. philosophy can best be described as the study of .a.social sciences b.natural sciencesc.both social and natural sciences d.the subject matter of politics73.with the study of philosophy, you can .a.become a great leader b.succeed in everythingc.find a good job soon after graduation d.make progress in your career development74.according to the passage, which of the follwing statements is true? a.philosophy is an independent discipline. b.logic helps you to become a better thinker.c.the study of philosophy brings you immediate benefits.d.the meaning of philosophy is too limited to define.75. from the passage, we can conclude a.not all the subjects have to do with philosophyb.a person will get a ph. d. if he/she studies philosophyc.philosophy can be helpful for the study of any other subjectsd.philosophy is the only solution to all the problems in the world4, 答案 72.c 73.d 74.b 75.c阅读理解lisa pina never thought she would need the fire safety training she received during her apprenticeship (学徒期) as a union painter and dry waller.on friday morning，she was thanking god she had it.on thursday night，while pina was babysitting her granddaughter，nephew and two nieces in her sisters apartment，she smelled smoke and realized the apartment building was on fire.when her 4yearold granddaughter ilean garcia began saying，“were going to die，”she knew she had to act.pina,39，first sealed the door，and then told all four children to get on the floor.after calling 911，she told the children to start singing and promised them all treats as soon as they reached safety.“i said，ok，were going to lie down and were all going to play a game，”pina said.“we all started singing our abcs and 123s.i was just trying to make it fun.”pina patiently waited，and a few minutes later，riverside county sheriffs deputies (治安官的助手) arrived.pina，ilean,8yearold gabriel parga,5yearold aubreyana parga and 4yearold meriyah parga were all trapped on the second floor as flames filled the first story.pina did the only thing she could.she opened the window and dropped the children，onebyone，into the arms of the sheriffs deputies about 15 to 20 feet below.“i just needed to keep the kids calm so they wouldnt be afraid，”pina said.“i was deathly afraid inside，but i couldnt let them know that.”not long after dropping the children out of the window，firefighters arrived with a ladder and rescued her.ten people were treated at the scene for suffering smoke，but nobody was seriously injured.1.the text is mainly about_.a.a big fire without serious injuryb.an urgent call 911c.a brave babysitterd.a babysitter rescuing kids from a big fire2.the underlined word “it” in paragraph 1 refers to_.a.a union painterb.a dry wallerc.the fire safety trainingd.the apprenticeship3.before lisa pina called 911，in order to prevent the fire，she_.a.let children get on the floorb.opened the windows of the second floorc.closed the door hardd.had children start singing4.according to the text，we know that_.a.lisa pina was the last one to be rescuedb.the fire didnt cause any injuryc.the c
