The industrial age may now be coming to an end, and some of the changes in work patterns which it brought may have to be reversed. This seems a daunting thought. But, in fact, it could offer the prospect of a better future for work. Universal employment, as its history shows, has not meant economic freedom.Employment became widespread when the enclosures of the 17th and 18th centuries made many people dependent on paid work by depriving them of the use of the land, and thus of the means to provide a living for themselves. Then the factory system destroyed the cottage industries and removed work from peoples homes. Later, as transport improved, first by rail and then by road, people commuted longer distances to their places of employment until, eventually, many peoples work lost all connection with their home lives and the places in which they lived.Meanwhile, employment put women at a disadvantage. In pre-industrial times, men and women had shared the productive work of the household and village community. Now it became customary for the husband to go out to paid employment, leaving the unpaid work of the home and families to his wife. Tax and benefit regulations still assume this norm today, and restrict more flexible sharing of work roles between the sexes.It was not only women whose work status suffered. As employment became the dominant form of work, young people and old people were excluded-a problem now, as more teenagers become frustrated at school and more retired people want to live active lives.All this may now have to change. The time has certainly come to switch some effort and resources away from the idealist goal of creating jobs for all, to the urgent practical task of helping many people to manage without full-time jobs.16 The established work patterns may be changed with the closing of the industrial age.ARight BWrong CNot mentioned17 Universal employment has brought about economic freedom.ARight BWrong CNot mentioned18 Many people depended on the land for a living before the 17th century.ARight BWrong CNot mentioned19 Improved transport enabled people to travel longer distances to their work places.ARight BWrong CNot mentioned20 Employed women of equal qualifications are paid less than men.ARight BWrong CNot mentioned21 A large number of teenagers will quit school next year.ARight BWrong CNot mentioned22 Now is the time to handle the issue of employment in a practical manner.ARight BWrong CNot mentioned $pager$第3部分：概括大意与完成句子(第2330题，每题1分，共8分)阅读下面这篇短文，短文后有2项测试任务：(1)第2326题要求从所给的6个选项中为第25段每段选择1个正确的小标题;(2)第2730题要求从所给的6个选项中选择4个正确选项，分别完成每个句子。请将答案涂在答题卡相应的位置上.Searching for Smiles1Ask most people anywhere in the world what they want out of life and the reply will probably be: to be happy. Ed Deiner, an American psychology professor, has spent his whole professional life studying what makes people happy, comparing levels of happiness between cultures and trying to find out exactly why we enjoy ourselves.2Many people would say that this question does not need an answer. But Professor Deiner has one anyway. If youre a cheerful, happy person, your marriage is more likely to last, and youre more likely to make money and be successful at your job. On average, happy people have stronger immune (免疫的) systems, and there is some evidence that they live longer.3So who are the worlds happiest people? It depends on how the word is defined. There is individual happiness, the sense of joy we get when we do something we like. But there is also the feeling of satisfaction we get when we know that others respect us and approve of how we behave. According to Professor Deiner, the Western world pursues individual happiness while Asia prefers mutual satisfaction.4In the West, the individualistic (个人主义的) culture means that your mood matters much more than it does in the East. People ask themselves, what can I do thats fun or interesting? They become unhappy when they cant do any of these things. If you ask people from Japan or China if they are happy, they tend to look at what has gone wrong in their lives. If not much has gone wrong, then they are satisfied.5People from Spain and other Spanish-speaking countries had the happiest culture, Professor Deiner found. The biggest cultural difference is to do with pride and shame. Hispanic (西班牙语言的) cultures report much more pride and much less shame than others.6Income also made a big difference to peoples happiness, but only at the lowest levels. Average income earners in the US were much happier than people in poverty. But millionaires were only a little bit happier than people on average incomes. It seems that money makes us happy when we have enough to feel secure.7But can we be too happy? You get people who are actually happy, but they think happiness is so important that they try to be even happier. This desire to be always happy is a product of individualism, where the emphasis is on you individually, your emotions and feeling good. People can end up feeling unhappy because ordinary happiness is not good enough for them.1Paragraph 2_ .2Paragraph 3_ .3Paragraph 4_ .4Paragraph 5_ .A Happiest CultureB An Unhappy PersonC Definition of HappinessD Cultural Differences in HappinessE Reasons to Be HappyF Individual and Ordinary Happiness5Professor Deiner has spent many years studying_ in happiness.6Professor Deiner believes that a happy person is less prone (易患) to_ .7Once we have got enough to feel safe, money does not make _ difference to our happiness.8According to Professor Deiner, some people feel unhappy because they cannot appreciate_ .Aa questionBordinary happinessCindividualismDcultural differencesEmuchFillnesses $pager$第四部分：阅读理解(第3145题，每题3分，共45分)下面有3篇短文，每篇短文后有5道题，每道题后面都有4个选项。请仔细阅读短文并根据短文回答其后面的问题，从4个选项中选择1个最佳答案涂在答题卡相应的位置上。第一篇Sleep Necessary for MemoriesBurning the midnight oil before an exam or interview does harm to the performance according to a recent research which found that sleep is necessary for memories to be taken back into the brain. A good nights sleep within 30 hours of trying to remember a new task is a required condition of having good recall in the weeks ahead, scientists have found.The research, published in the December issue of Nature Neuroscience, showed that it was the act of sleep, rather than the simple passage of time, that was critical for long-term memory formation.We think that getting that first nights sleep starts the process of memory consolidation (巩固), said Robert Stickgold, a sleep researcher at Harvard Medical School who conducted the latest study.It seems that memories normally wash out of the brain unless some process nails them down. My suspicion is that sleep is one of those things that does the flailing down, Professor Stickgold said.With about one in five people claiming that they are so chronically short of sleep that it affects their daily activities, the latest work emphasizes the less well-understood side effect- serious memory impairment (损害).Volunteers in an experiment found it easier to remember a memory task if they were allowed to sleep that night. But for those kept awake, no amount of subsequent sleep made up for the initial loss.Professor Stickgolds team trained 24 people to identify the direction of three diagonal (斜线形的) bars flashed for a sixtieth of a second on a computer screen full of horizontal (水平的) stripes.Half of the subjects were kept awake that night, while the others slept. Both groups were allowed to sleep for the second and third nights to make up for any differences in tiredness between the volunteers.Those who slept the first night were significantly and consistently better at remembering the task while the second group showed no improvement despite enjoying two nights of catch-up sleep.1The research published in Nature Neuroscience showed that what was essential to the formation of long-term memory wasAintelligence.Btime.Cfood.Dsleep.2Which of the following statements about the research is NOT true?AIt was done within 30 hours.BIt was headed by Professor Stickgold.CIt focused on long-term memory formation.DThere were altogether 24 subjects in the experiment.3Stickgolds research focused on the side effect produced byAmemory impairment.Black of sleep.Clow work efficiency.Dmemory recall.4In Stickgolds experiment, those who were kept awake on the first nightAcould very well remember the direction of the diagonal bars.Bdidnt do any better after two nights sleep.Cwere as tired as those who were not.Dcould recall the direction of more bars than those who were not.5Those who slept the first nightAcouldnt remember the task.www.Bcould not sleep the second and third nights.Cperformed slightly better than those who did notDdid much better than those who did not. $pager$第二篇The Cherokee NationLong before the white man came to America, the land belonged to the American Indian nations. The nation of the Cherokees lived in what is now the southeastern part of the United States.After the white man came, the Cherokees copied many of their ways. One Cherokee named Sequoyah saw how important reading and writing were to the white man. He decided to invent a way to write down the spoken Cherokee language. He began by making word pictures For each word he drew a picture. But that proved impossible - there were just too many words. Then he took the 85 sounds that made up the language. Using his own imagination and an English spelling book, Sequoyah invented a sign for each sound. His alphabet proved amazingly easy to learn. Before long, many Cherokees knew how to read and write in their own language. By 1828, they were even printing their own newspaper.In 1830, the U.S. Congress passed a law. It allowed the government to remove Indians from their lands. The Cherokees refused to go. They had lived on their lands for centuries. It belonged to them. Why should they go to a strange land far beyond the Mississippi River?The army was sent to drive the Cherokees out. Soldiers surrounded their villages and marched them at gunpoint (在枪口的威胁下) into the western territory. The sick, the old and the small children went in carts, along with their belongings, The rest of the people marched on foot or rode on horseback. It was November, yet many of them still wore their summer clothes. Cold and hungry, the Cherokees were quickly exhausted by the hardships of the journey. Many dropped dead and were buried by the roadside. When the last group arrived in their new home in March 1839, more than 4,000 had died. It was indeed a march of death.6.The Cherokees used to liveA.by the roadside.B.in the southeastern part of the US.C.beyond the Mississippi River.D.in the western territory.7.Which of the following statements about Sequoyah is NOT true?A.He was imaginative.B.He was an Indian.C.He was a white man.D.He wrote down the spoken Cherokee language.8.A law was passed in 1830 toA.allow the Cherokees to stay where they were.B.stop the Cherokees using their own language.C.force the Cherokees to move westward.D.forbid the Cherokees to print their own newspaper.9.The Cherokees went to their new landsA.in carts.B.on horseback.C.on foot.D.all of the above.10. The word exhausted in the last paragraph could be best replaced byA.worn out.B.ended up.C.run out.D.finished up.$pager$第三篇KnittingMy mother knew how to knit (纺织), but she never taught me. She assumed, as did many women of her generation, that knitting was no longer a skill worth passing down from mother to daughter. A combination of feminism (女权主义) and consumerism (消费主义) made many women feel that such homely accomplishments were now out of date. My Grandmother still knitted, though, and every Christmas she made a pair of socks for my brother and me, of red wool (毛线). They were the ones we wore under our ice skates (冰鞋), when it was really important to have warm feet.Knitting is a nervous habit that happens to be productive. It helped me quit smoking by giving my hands something else to do. It is wonderful for depression because no matter what else happens, you are creating something beautiful. Time spent in front of the television or just sitting is no longer time wasted.I love breathing life into the patterns. Its true magic, finding a neglected, dog-eared (翻旧了的) old book with the perfect snowflake design, buying the same Germantown wool my grandmother used, in the exact blue to match my daughters eyes, taking it on the train with me every day for two months, working enthusiastically to get it done by Christmas, staying up late after the stockings are filled to sew in the sleeves and weave in the ends.Knitting has taught me patience. I know that if I just keep going, even if it takes months, there will be a reward. When I make a mistake, I know that anger will not fix it, and that I just have to go back and start over again.People often ask if I would do it for money, and the answer is always a definite no. In the first place, you could not pay me enough for the hours I put into a sweater. But more important, this is an activity I keep separate from such considerations. I knit to cover my children and other people I love in warmth and color. I knit to give them something earthly that money could never buy.Knitting gives my life an alternative rhythm to the daily deadline. By day I can write about Northern Ireland or the New York City Police Department and get paid for it, but on the train home, surrounded by people with laptops, I stage my little rebellion. I take out my old knitting bag and join the centuries of women who have knitted for love.11.Why did many women feel that knitting was out of date?A.Because their mothers had not taught them.B.Because they were influenced by feminism and consumerismC.Because they were feminists.D.Because they were consumerists.12.The author wore the red socks her grandmother had knitted for herA.when she went to school.B.when she went hiking.C.when she celebrated Christmas.D.when she went skating.13.The word quit in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning toA.give up.B.speed up.C.slow down,D.build up.14. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?A.Knitting helps one get rid of bad habits.B.Knitting helps one get free from a bad mood.C.Knitting requires patience.D.Knitting is a profit-making business.15 .Which of the following is NOT the writers purpose of knitting?A.To save money.B.To save time.C.To enrich her life.D.To show her love for the family.$pager$ 第5部分：补全短文(第4650题，每题2分，共10分)阅读下面的短文，文章中有5处空白，文章后面有6组文字，请根据文章的内容选择5组文字，将其分别放回文章原有位置，以恢复文章原貌。请将答案涂在答题卡相应的位置上。GarlicFrom early times man has used garlic (大蒜). The Bible speaks of it. The Israelites (古以色列人) were once far from home. They cried out to Moses, their leader, for the foods they loved: leeks (韭菜), onions, and garlic. The Romans, like the Israelites, loved to eat garlic. And they hung bags of garlic around their necks. _(1) They also thought it would keep them from getting sick.A similar idea is still held. Many people take garlic thinking it will prevent or cure disease. Most doctors say it does no
