Reading Comprehension (1%2020%)Directions: There are 3 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or some statements to be translated.Passage 1Ive been writing for most of my life. The book Writing Without Teachers introduced me to one distinction and one practice that have helped my writing processes tremendously. The distinction is between the creative mind and the critical mind. While you need to employ both to get to a finished result, they cannot work in parallel no matter how much we might like to think so.Trying to criticize writing on the fly is possibly the single greatest barrier to writing that most of us encounter. If you are listening to that 5th grade English teacher correct your grammar while you are trying to capture a fleeting (稍纵即逝的) thought, the thought will die. If you capture the fleeting thought and simply share it with the world in raw form, no one is likely to understand. You must learn to create first and then criticize if you want to make writing the tool for thinking that it is.The practice that can help you past your learned bad habits of trying to edit as you write is what Elbow calls “free writing.” In free writing, the objective is to get words down on paper non-stop, usually for 15-20 minutes. No stopping, no going back, no criticizing. The goal is to get the words flowing. As the words begin to flow, the ideas will come from the shadows and let themselves be captured on your notepad or your screen.Now you have raw materials that you can begin to work with using the critical mind that youve persuaded to sit on the side and watch quietly. Most likely, you will believe that this will take more time than you actually have and you will end up staring blankly at the pages as the deadline draws near.Instead of staring at a blank start filling it with words no matter how bad. Halfway through you available time, stop and rework your raw writing into something closer to finished product. Move back and forth until you run out of time and the final result will most likely be far better than your current practices.61.When the author says the creative mind and the critical mind “cannot work in parallel” (Line 4, Para. 1) in the writing process, he means _.A) no one can be both creative and critical B) they cannot be regarded as equally importantC) they are in constant conflict with each other D) one cannot use them at the same time62.What prevents people from writing on is _.A) putting their ideas in raw form B) attempting to edit as they writeC) ignoring grammatical soundness D) trying to capture fleeting thoughts63.What is the chief objective of the first stage of writing?A) To organize ones thoughts logically. B) To choose an appropriate topic.C) To get ones ideas down. D) To collect raw materials. 64.One common concern of writers about “free writing” is that _.A) it overstresses the role of the creative mind B) it takes too much time to edit afterwardsC) it may bring about too much criticism D) it does not help them to think clearly65.In what way does the critical mind help the writer in the writing process?A) It refines his writing into better shape. B) It helps him to come up with new ideas.C) It saves the writing time available to him. D) It allows him to sit on the side and observe.Translate the following sentences. 66. In free writing, the objective is to get words down on paper non-stop, usually for 15-20 minutes.67. The goal is to get the words flowing.Passage 2For most people, boasting（吹嘘） about oneself does not come naturally. It is not easy or comfortable to tell someone all the wonderful things you have accomplished. But that is exactly what you need to do if you are seeking a new job, or trying to hold on to the one you have.Of course, there is a fine line between self-confidence and arrogance, so to be successful in winning over the interviewer you must learn to maximize you accomplishments and attributes without antagonizing (使反感) the interviewer.The natural tendency for most job seekers is to behave modestly in a job interview. To do the best job of selling yourself in an interview, you have to be prepared in advance. As part of your job-hunting check list, write down a piece of paper your major job-related accomplishments. Commit them to memory. You will probably be pleasantly surprised to see in writing all that you have done.By developing this list, you will have accomplished two things: the first is you will impress the interviewer by being able to talk confidently and clearly about your accomplishments. You will not have to sit uncomfortably while you think of your success. They will be at the tip of your tongue. Secondly, rather than dwell on your own personality characteristics, such as how hardworking or creative you are, you can discuss hard facts, such as how you saved your employer money or an idea you developed that helped a customer make more money. When chronicling (记述) your accomplishments for the interviewer, take as much credit as you honestly can. If you were a key part behind a major group project, tell the interviewer. If you developed a specific idea without help from your supervisor, it is acceptable to say that. Remember, you are at that interview to sell yourself, not your former co-workers.However, never criticize your former employer. Sharing your negative thoughts with the interviewer is an immediate turn-off and will only brand you as a complainer and gossip, whom no one likes or will hire.Keep in mind that the most important part of a job interview is making the employer like you and presenting yourself as the person he or she wants you to be. Consequently or not most employers tend to hire people who reflect their own values and standards.Once you get the job you want, boasting about your accomplishments does not stop. Although you may think all your successes and achievements are highly visible, remember that you are only one of many people in the company. Lack of recognition is cited by a majority of discharged managers as the most frequent complaint against the former employer.To help make yourself more visible in the company, volunteer for additional assignments - both job - related and non-business-related. These could include community relations or chartable (可记述的) activities in which your company is involved. These types of activities may enable you to have more time and access to top executives of the company to whom you may endear yourself. You might even have the opportunity to tell them what you are doing for the company, which can never hurt.68.This article is mostly about how to .A. interview for a job B. please your bossC. get along with co-workersD. get and keep a job69.In paragraph 2, the word maximize mean to .A. talk about B. make the most ofC. be modest about D. play down70.The author states that the one thing you should never do during an interview is to .A. list your successes in previous jobs B. promote your qualifications for the jobC. tell your potential boss about the projects youve worked onD. make negative comments about your former employer71.The author provides his view on winning and holding a new job by .A. offering suggestions B. presenting facts and statisticsC. describing extreme situationD. telling stories72.In the passage, the author recommends all of the following EXCEPT .A. making a point of telling your supervisor what you have doneB. taking part in non-business-related activitiesC. going on boasting about your successes and achievementsD. giving the employer an idea on how to run his other business73. Translate the following sentenceFor most people, boasting about oneself does not come naturally.Passage 3We are naturally attracted to people with ideas, beliefs and interests like our own. Similarly, we feel comfortable with people with physical qualities similar to ours.You may have noticed how people who live or work closely together come to behave in a similar way. Unconsciously we copy those we are close to, or love, or admire. So a sportsmans individual way of walking with hunched shoulders is imitated by an admiring fan; a pair of lovers both shake their heads in the same way; an employee finds himself imitating his bosss habit of moving a pen between his fingers while thinking.In every case, the influential person may not consciously notice the imitation, but he will feel comfortable in its presence. And if he does notice the matching of his gestures or movements, he finds it flattering: he is influencing people, they are drawn to him.Sensitive people have been mirroring their friends and acquaintances all their lives, and winning affection and respect in this way without being aware of their methods. Now for people who want to win agreement or trust, affection or sympathy, some psychologists recommend the deliberate use of physical mirroring.The clever saleswoman echoes her lady customers movements, tilting her head in the same way to judge a color match, or folding her arms a few seconds after the customer, as though consciously attracted by her. The customer feels that the saleswoman is in sympathy with her, and understands her needs - a promising relationship for a sale to take place.The clever lawyer, trying in a law-court to influence a judge, imitates the great mans shrugging of his shoulders, the tone of his voice and the rhythm of his speech.Of course, physical mirroring must be subtle. If you blink every time your target blinks, or bite your bottom lip every time he does, your mirroring has become mockery and you can expect trouble. So, if you cant model sympathetically, dont play the game.74.According to the passage, physical mirroring means .A) the attraction to people with ideas, beliefs and interests like our ownB) the comfortable feeling about people with physical qualities similar to oursC) the fact that people living or working closely together behave in a similar wayD) the imitation of the gestures or movements of those we are close to, or love, or admire75.Which of the following is NOT a deliberate use of physical mirroring, according to the author?A) A saleswoman tilts her head after her customer to judge a color match.B) A lawyer emulates the tone of the judges voice and the rhythm of his speech.C) Sensitive people have been mirroring their friends all their lives.D) A naughty boy blinks every time the teacher blinks.76.Which of the following is true?A) Sensitive people have been mirroring their friends and acquaintances because they want to win their affection and respect in this way.B) The clever saleswoman echoes her lady customers movements because she is unconsciously attracted by her.C) The lawyer who imitates the judge is trying to influence him.D) Physical mirroring is always flattering to those
