阅读下列短文 从每题所给的四个选项 A B C 和 D 中 选出最佳选项 A A few years ago my younger sister and I were the first to board our flight for Norfolk Virginia Just as we were about to board the plane a mechanic came out of the aircraft and blocked the door with his arms He turned to the flight attendant and hurriedly stated We got problems I thought to myself Why did I have to be the one to hear that Why couldn t I have been at the back of the line I didn t need to know that Very soon we were back in the terminal waiting and then finally back on the plane I waited for the pilot to give an explanation Pilots take courses to ease passengers mind right They know what to say to calm nerves Unfortunately I didn t think this pilot took that course Soon his voice thundered throughout the plane Sorry for the delay ladies and gentlemen We had no power on the plane We have a generator on the ground right now and we re going to jump start the engines Once we get them going we ll get up in the air and head to Norfolk and see what happens See what happens We were going to get up in the air and see what happens Couldn t we have another plan one that s been worked out just a little better At this point all I could do was to laugh nervously One woman started yelling Oh no We re going to crash There were sighs of desperation and anxiety spreading throughout the cabin Finally we got up in the air thirty minutes later and what happened Nothing other than thrust 推力 and lift We arrived in Norfolk and no sooner had the wheels touched the ground than a round of applause burst out as everyone throughout the airplane simultaneously 同时 breathed a sigh of relief Although I did sincerely like to have a plan better than see what happens worked out when flying it really isn t such a bad life strategy Success will never be guaranteed The best thing you can do is just get up in the air and see what happens Sometimes adjustments would be made in the air or shall we say in the middle of the process 56 The purpose of the text is to A introduce a frightening flight experience B prove that taking a plane is dangerous C show a strategy of making plans D tell readers a life strategy 57 What event was beyond the author s expectation A The mechanic explained the problems to the passengers B The pilot said nothing to calm the passengers C The passengers arrived in Norfolk safely D The flight was delayed for half an hour 58 Having known the problems many passengers A felt desperate and anxious B stood up and started yelling C waited calmly for the problems to be solved D complained about the mechanic s carelessness 59 Which opinion would the author most probably hold A To ensure success don t get started before you ve got everything ready B To avoid repeating failure give yourself all the reasons why you can t C To set up a business don t wait until you have everything you need D To achieve success try to prepare for the worse B It is unlawful for an employer to publish a discriminatory advertisement How to identify a discriminatory 歧视的 advertisement It must be read as a whole and account must be taken not only of the words but also of the pictures that it uses Job titles that have sexual connotations 内涵 mean an intention to discriminate on the grounds of sex Example 1 A notice in a restaurant window states Waiters required The word waiters has a male not a female connotation The advertisement does not contain an equal opportunities statement and does not specify that the jobs are open to men and women Example2 A medical clinic places an advertisement for a nurse with a photograph of a female nurse Nursing is an occupation that is traditionally associated with women The advertisement does not contain an equal opportunities statement Good practice checklist Advertise widely so that as many suitably qualified people as possible have an opportunity to apply Do not publish job advertisements in locations or publications where they are likely to be read wholly or mainly by people who share a particular community background sex race disability or age Use language which is clear and simple and do not use abstract words For example when describing the working environment or the characteristics of desirable employees do not use words like young mature or energetic Where possible do not use job titles which have a male or female connotation For example do not use the following words waiter waitress salesman salesgirl postman manageress foreman storeman matron chairman chairwoman head master mistress Instead where possible use job titles that have gender neutral connotation For example the following words are appropriate waiting staff sales assistant postal worker manager stores person supervisor chairperson nurse manager head teacher 60 When trying to identify what might be a discriminatory advertisement we should pay attention to its A length and words B length and pictures C style and words D words and pictures 61 From the two examples we know that A nowadays restaurants prefer male to female workers B the traditional view that a nurse should be female is wrong C the job title is one of the most important factors in an advertisement D advertisements for medical clinics shouldn t have photographs 62 If you want to place an advertisement for a designer you should publish it in A Southern Weekend B Titan Sports C Entertainment Weekly D Shanghai lawyer C I must have been about fourteen then and I put away the incident from my mind with the easy carelessness of youth But the words Carl Walter spoke that day came back to me years later and ever since have been of great value to me Carl Walter was my piano teacher During one of my lessons he asked how much practicing I was doing I said three or four hours a day Do you practice in long stretches an hour at a time I try to Well don t he said loudly When you grow up time won t come in long stretches Practice in minutes whenever you can find them five or ten before school after lunch between household tasks Spread the practice through the day and piano playing will become a part of your life When I was teaching at Columbia I wanted to write but class periods theme reading and committee meetings filled my days and evenings For two years I got practically nothing down on paper and my excuse was that I had no time Then I remembered what Carl Walter had said During the next week I conducted an experiment Whenever I had five minutes unoccupied I sat down and wrote a hundred words or so To my astonishment at the end of the week I had a rather large manuscript 手稿 ready for revision Later on I wrote novels by the same piecemeal 零碎的 method Though my teaching schedule had become heavier than ever in every day there were moments which could be caught and put to use There is an important trick in this time using principle you must get into your work quickly If you have but five minutes for writing you can t afford to waste it in chewing your pencil You must make your mental preparations beforehand and concentrate on your task almost instantly when the time comes Fortunately rapid concentration is easier than most of us realize I admit I have never learnt how to let go easily at the end of the five or ten minutes But life can be counted on to supply interruptions Carl Walter has had a significant influence on my life To him I owe the discovery that even very short periods of time add up to all useful hours I need if I throw myself into it without delay 63 The meaning of stretch in the underlined part is the same as that in the sentence A The dog woke up had a good stretch and wandered off B Bob worked as a government official for a stretch of over twenty years C My family wasn t wealthy by any stretch of the imagination D This material has a lot of stretch in it 64 Which of the following statements is TRUE A The author didn t take the teacher s words to heart at first B Rapid concentration is more difficult than people imagine C The author thanked his teacher for teaching him to work in long stretches D Carl Walter has influenced the writer greatly since he was a student 66 What is probably the best title for this text A Concentrate on Your Work B A Little at a Time C How I Became a Writer D Good Advice D Scientists are using a kind of eye tracking equipment to learn how babies look at the world In the lab children 5 months and older crawl 爬行 and walk up down and over adjustable wooden slopes 斜坡 gaps and steps It may seem like the set for a new reality television show but there are no prizes except perhaps for the researchers They hope to understand what makes one child respond to another how babies adjust their look to their hands and feet to handle objects and how these very young children adapt to changes The findings provided by these eye trackers suggest that babies may be more capable of understanding and acting on what they see than had been thought Quick looks at their mothers faces may be all they need to get the information they want They seem to be surprisingly efficient said John Franchak who studies psychology at New York University Although sight might largely seem effortless to us in reality we actively choose what we look at making about two to four eye movements every second for some 150 000 motions 运动 daily said Karen Adolph also a developmental psychologist at N Y U Sight is not passive she said We actively adjust our eye movements to the motions of our hands and bodies Eye tracking studies have existed for more than a century but the instruments involved were typically desk machines The wearable eye trackers that Dr Adolph Mr Franchak and their colleagues use are based on equipment developed over the last decade by Positive Science a New York company with money from the United States Naval Research Laboratory They were designed to help scientists Eye trackers are currently being used in studies to learn the differences in how amateur and professional geologists 地质学家 scan landscapes and how people examine signs when looking for exits during emergencies The researchers also found that during the studies babies looked at their mothers just 16 percent of the time That is lower than expected Dr Adolph said A large body of past research has placed importance on children watching the faces of adults as they name objects to learn languages These findings suggest children may not have to look very long to get the information they need either from people or objects This gives a new understanding of how much information they need or how quickly children might process the information 67 How do babies get the information they need A By using their own language B By looking at their mothers eyes C By watching their mothers facial expression D By listening to others 68 The underlined word They in Paragraph 5 refers to A eye tracking studies B original devices C eye trackers D desk machines 69 What do
