并在答题卡上将该项涂黑 A A Even when you re extremely busy you aren t using your time with 100 efficiency There are gaps in everyone s schedule where they aren t doing anything important Even if your schedule has no gaps there is probably lots of time where you aren t working as fast or as effectively as you possibly could Why aren t you completely efficient It s because time isn t the limiting factor If it were the limiting factor people could work non stop without breaks or any unproductive distractions 消遣 Instead people even those who are highly productive need to take breaks occasionally procrastinate 拖延 and slow down on tasks throughout the day The real and most important limiting factor for productivity is your energy levels to pay attention Energy levels limit your productivity because when you re tired you can have ample time and still not get everything done Your attention ability is also limited because even if there are a million things that need to be done you can only focus on one or two at a time You might not be able to insert another 4 5 hours into your schedule without making some sacrifices 牺牲 But even extremely busy people can add an hour or two into their schedule without cancelling anything The reason it s hard to find time isn t a lack of time It s because you don t have enough energy left to focus on something else that needs to fit into your day I first suspected time wasn t the real problem during an extremely busy period in my life over a year ago I was insanely busy but at that time I still exercised regularly I had daily to do lists with over twenty items and I still found time to exercise However after a few weeks off due to illness I stopped exercising I was not busy by any standards in fact my schedule was incredibly light Despite this free time I found it 用心 爱心 专心3 hard to find time to exercise It seemed to get pushed later and later into my schedule until it was gone How can I explain this odd experience I believe you have known it 26 If someone can t work with 100 efficiency the most important limiting factor is A a schedule without gaps B breaks and distractions C the limited time D the limited energy 27 According to paragraph 4 everyone including the extremely busy people can A work without any rest B focus on many things at a time C find some more time in a day D do some exercise regularly 28 After a few weeks off what was the change of the writer s life A He had a longer daily to do lists with over twenty items B He stopped doing exercise because of the lack of energy C He found it hard to find time to exercise because he was busier D He pushed most of the things later and later in his schedule 29 The writer gives the example of himself in the last paragraph in order to A prove what the real limiting factor is B show us how busily he needs to work C explain how important a healthy body is D tell us what an odd experience he has 30 What is the best title of the passage A Are You Really Lack of Time B How Can You Work Efficiently C What Makes Your Energy Limited D When Should You Do Exercise B B Outside our hotel in Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam a seemingly ancient woman waited beside the door with her hand outstretched Every day I put my hand in hers as our eyes met She never failed to return my smile my grasp and my greeting On the last day of our visit I found myself alone on a busy corner across the street from our hotel Bicycles and motorbikes rushed in front of me As I hesitated on the sidewalk I felt a hand on my elbow and looked down to see the smile of my small beggar friend looking up at me She nodded her head toward the street indicating that she would take me across Together we moved slowly into the chaos Then we moved on toward the sidewalk where she pulled my face down to hers kissed me on both cheeks and then left still smiling and waving back to me Traveling in poorer nations I have witnessed a variety of ways to deal with beggars The most common response of tourists faced with the poverty stricken is to ignore them and focus their eyes elsewhere I have seen people push away an outstretched hand in angry annoyance A few may drop a few coins into the hand in a hurry hoping that other ragged pursuers won t immediately appear on the scene For many reasons giving money is not the best response to an outstretched hand Many world travelers have discovered that the greatest gift they can give is their time and respect Everyone needs recognition to be seen as worthy of being known to feel appreciated and loved And I believe that everyone is worthy and worth knowing 31 The woman beggars helped the author go across the busy street because A the author gave her material assistance B the author treated her kindly and friendly C the author would help her as a reward D the author was a foreigner 用心 爱心 专心4 32 From the story what position of the beggars in the author s mind might be A equal B superior C lower D valuable 33 In common cases

offer some advice on dealing with begging C express what we should offer the beggars D describe an experience with a beggar C C As I grew older Dad was to build all sorts of things for me as I explored a variety of interests magic tricks a toy circus neighborhood shows and science projects From as early as I can remember to the time I left home for college I continued to come to him with a design or an idea and he would figure out how to build it In fifth grade a schoolmate and I wrote a puppet 木偶 show that we wanted to perform for our class I made the puppet heads myself and I made the costumes and curtains with Mon who was as expert designing and sewing with cloth as my father was designing and working with wood and metal With Dad I made the puppet stage in our own invented style between kid and adult with me saying something like It has to be this high and it needs to come apart and fold up so it can fit in the backseat of the car and it needs to set up fast and it needs to have different colored lights on top with switches you can reach to control them and a curtain you can pull from under it even if you still have a puppet on your hand Dad figured out how to make it all work making plans as we went along Then with the tools in his shop he built it and I helped Dad also spent a lot of time out in the garage or in the driveway working on the family car I don t remember that he ever took it to a professional auto repair shop Maybe to save money but also because he could usually figure out what needed fixing just by taking it apart and looking Though not trained as an auto mechanic he could look under the engine cover and take parts and pieces out spread them on a tarp 油布 to catch the oil and figure out what was supposed to happen to the machine and then figure out what wasn t happening and then replace the worn out part or whatever and then put everything back together again 36 If you are the writer you are supposed to write about ahead of the

the puppet A The writer himself B His classmate C His teacher D His parents 38 Before the writer went to college he always turned to his father for A designing a machine B building his design or idea

shop C Repairing in a shop can save much money D Father was good at mending his car 40 The purpose of the writer s writing the passage is A to tell how his father made a puppet for him B in memory of his parents C to describe to the readers his memories about his father D to argue that parents should help children to explore the world and make inventions D D From bankers to factory staff employees in the West face a cold prospect prospect of losinglosing t heir jobs as a global recession 衰退 starts to bite For colleagues in the East the pain is more likely to come through a pay cut Human resource experts say cultural differences explain why Asian companies try harder to preserve jobs in difficult times which will prevent unemployment and may help Asian economies survive at a time of slowing exports The East Asian attitude may also make it easier for companies to recover quickly from the economic downturn since they will not need to rehire or train new staff but build up a more loyal and devoted group In the Confucian mindset 儒家思想 the right thing to do is to share the burden which is the sense of collective 集体的 responsibility While in the West it s more about individual survival said Michael Benoliel associate professor of organizational behavior at Singapore Management University SMU In contrast local Western companies from General Motors to Goldman Sachs plan to lay off workers by the thousands but at the Asian units of Western multinationals or western units of Asian groups job cuts will probably be less severe Japan s jobless rate was 4 percent in September up from 3 8 percent in January while Hong Kong s was flat at 3 4 percent But US unemployment is expected to have jumped to 6 3 percent last month from below 5 percent in January Experts say that while there are noticeable differences in labor practices in East and West the gap will narrow as more firms become more multinational and competition forces firms to adopt the best practices of rivals from abroad 41 The underlined word prospect prospect in the first paragraph most probably means A weather B scene C future D place 42 Compared with job cuts pay cuts can bring the following benefits EXCEPT that A it s helpful to the economy recovery B it costs the company less money to survive C it will keep the experienced and skilled workers D it can form a team working harder and more loyally 43 According to Michael Benoliel the Confucian mindset focuses on A human rights B sharing responsibility C personal profits D individual survival 44 In which company can we infer the job cuts will be probably the most severe A A local American group B A small Japanese company C A German branch of a Korean multinational 用心 爱心 专心6 D A Hong Kong s unit of a French company 45 The passage mainly tells us A the difficulties all the companies around the world will meet with today B the cultural differences between Eastern and Western world at present C the ways to cut down the cost of the companies in economic downturn D the different labor solutions of Asian and Western in global recession 第二节第二节 信息匹配信息匹配 共5小题 每小题2分 满分10分 阅读下列应用文及相关信息 并按照要求匹配信息 下面是几条与节日有关的报道 首先请阅读这些报道的标题和插图 A Father sFather s
