2008-2013年济南英语真题（2013年）VI阅读理解 阅读下列短文，从每题A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出一个能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。（15分）C“Find a job you love, and youll never work a day in your life.” Do you agree with this old saying? Joanne Gordon does. She is the author of Be Happy at work and other books about careers(职业). Gordon believes that about 30% of employees(雇员) in North America do not like their jobs, and she thinks that is terrible. She wants to help people who do not feel satisfied(满意) with their jobs find work that is good for them. Joanne says, “There are no happy jobs, only happy workers.” She believes that happy workers share three main characteristics(特点).First, happy workers enjoy the daily activities of their jobs, and they look forward to the workday. Take Tony Hawk, for example. At age 14, he became a professional skateboarder. Now he is a businessman working on projects related to skateboardingfilms and video games, but he still skates every day. He once said, “My youngest sons pre-school was recently asked what their dads do for work. My son said, Ive never seen my dad do work.” Tony agrees that his job doesnt look like work. He has found a way to spend each day doing a job he enjoys.Second, happy workers like the people they work with. Sally Ayote says, “I work with the coolest people in the world.” She and her group cook for almost 1,200 people in Antarctica. Most of these people are scientists who are doing research. Sally loves to sit and talk with them. She says, “There is no television here, no radio, so I get to know the scientists and what theyre studying.” Sally thinks she has a great job, and the best part about it is the people.Third, happy workers know that their work helps others. Caroline Barons work helps people who have had to leave their home countries because of war or other dangers. She is a filmmaker who started an organization called FilmAid, which shows movies in refugee(难民) camps around the world. Caroline believes that movies can be very helpful in these camps. For one thing, entertaining movies let refugees forget their troubles for a little while. Movies can also teach important subjects like health and safety. For example, in one camp, thousands of refugees saw a movie about how to get clean water. Caroline knows that is helping other people, and this makes her feel proud and happy about her work.Tony Hawk, Sally Ayote, and Caroline Baron all get great satisfaction from their work. Tony Hawk says, “Find the thing you love. If you are doing what you love, there is much more happiness there than being rich or famous.” Joanne Gordon would agree. She encourages people to find something they enjoy doing, find people they like to work with, and find ways to help others. Then they can be proud of what they do, and they will probably be happy at work.81. Who is the book, Be Happy at Work, written for? A. Joanne Gordon herself. B. Tony Hawk, Sally Ayote, and Caroline Baron.C. People who do not feel satisfied with their jobs. D. The workers who agree with the authors ideas.82. Joanne Gordon believes that _. A. difficult jobs are terrible B. there are no happy jobs, only happy workersC. rich and famous people have much more happiness than workersD. only about one third of the employees in North America like their jobs83. Why did Tony Hawks son say, “Ive never seen my dad do work.”? A. Because Tony Hawks job doesnt look like work.B. Because the best part about his job is to spend each day skating.C. Because Tony helps people forget their troubles while skating.D. Because Tony Hawk always finds something else he enjoys doing.84. Tony Hawk, Sally Ayote, and Caroline Baron are good examples that show us _. A. how to be a successful businessman B. how to help people in difficultiesC. how to get along with the coolest people D. how to become a happy worker85.

This also seems to be true in history. In 1799, scientists studied works(作品) of art made at different times from 1, 500 B. C. to the 1950s. Most of the people shown in these works are right-handed, so the scientists guessed that right-handedness has always been common through history. Today, only about 10% to 15% of the worlds population is left-handed. Why are there more right-handed people than left-handed ones? Scientists now know that a persons two hands each have their own jobs. For most people, the left hand is used to find things or hold things. The right hand is used to work with things. This is because of the different work of the two sides of the brain (大脑). The right side of the brain, which makes a persons hands and eyes work together, controls(控制) the left hand. The left-side of the brain, which controls the right hand, is the centre for thinking and doing problems. These findings show that more artists should be left-handed, and studies have found that left-handedness is twice as common among artists than among people in other jobs. No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed instead of left-handed. Scientists have found that almost 40% of the people become left-handed because their main brain is damaged(损害) when they are born. However, this doesnt happen to everyone, so scientists guess there must be another reason (原因) why people become left-handed. One idea is that people usually get right-handed from their parents. If a person does not receive the gene (基因) for right-handedness, he/she may become either right-or left-handed according to the chance (偶然性) and the people they work or live with. Though right-handedness is more common than left-handedness, people no longer think left-handed people are strange or unusual. A long time ago, left-handed children were made to use their right hands like other children, but today they dont have to. 66. After studying works of art made at different times in history, the scientists found . A. the art began from 1, 500 B. C. B. the works of art ended in the 1950sC. most people shown in the works of art are right-handedD. most people shown in the works of art are left-handed67. How many people in the world are left-handed now?A. Less than one sixth. B. More than a half. C. About 40%. D. The passage doesnt tell us. 68. What is the left hand for most people used to do?A. Its used to find or hold things. B. Its used to work with things. C. Its used to make a persons eyes work together. D. Its the centre for thinking and doing problems. 69. According to (根据) the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed. B. Left-handedness is cleverer than right-handedness. C. Today children are not made to use their right hands only. D. Scientists think there must be some reason why people become left-handed. 70. The best title(标题) for this passage is . A. Scientists New InventionsB. Left-handed PeopleC. Which HandD. Different Brains, Different Hands. 答案： 66. C 67. A 68. A 69. B 70.
