The books mentioned above are intended for .A. parents B. children C. animal lovers D. architectsBFor most city people, the elevator is an unremarkable machine that inspires none of the enthusiasm or interest that Americans afford trains, jets, and even bicycles. Dr. Christopher Wilk is a member of a small group of elevator experts who consider this a misunderstanding. Without the elevator, they point out, there could be no downtown skyscrapers or tall buildings, and city life as we know it would be impossible. In that sense, they argue, the elevators role in American history has been no less significant than that of cars. In fact, according to Wilk, the car and the elevator have been locked in a “secret war” for over a century, with cars making it possible for people to spread horizontally(水平地), and elevators pushing them toward life in close groups of towering vertical (垂直的) columns.If we tend to ignore the significance of elevators, it might be because riding in them tends to be such a brief, boring, and even awkward experience one that can involve unexpectedly meeting people with whom we have nothing in common, and an unpleasant awareness of the fact that were hanging from a cable in a long passage.In a new book, Lifted, German journalist and cultural studies professor Andreas Bernard directed all his attention to this experience, studying the origins of elevator and its relationship to humankind and finding that riding in an elevator has never been a totally comfortable experience. “After 150 years, we are still not used to it, ”Bernard said. “We still have not exactly learned to cope with the mixture of closeness and displeasure.” That mixture, according to Bernard, sets the elevator ride apart from just about every other situation we find ourselves in as we go about our lives.Today, as the worlds urban population explodes, and cities become more crowded, taller, and more crowded, Americas total number of elevators900,000 at last count, according to Elevator World magazines “2012 Vertical Transportation Industry”are a force thats becoming more important than ever. And for the people who really, really love them, it seems like high time that we looked seriously at just what kind of force they are.24. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. The particular interests of experts._B. The general view of elevators.C. The desire for a remarkable machine.D. The enthusiasm for transport vehicles.25. The authors purpose in mentioning cars is .A. to emphasize the importance of elevators B. to contrast their functions with elevatorsC. to reveal their secret war against elevators D. to explain peoples preference for elevators26. According to Prof. Bernard, what has made the elevator ride different from other life experiences?_A. Vertical direction. B. Little physical space.C. Lack of excitement. D. Uncomfortable conditions.27. The author urges readers to consider. _A. the exact number of elevator lovers B. the serious future situation of elevatorsC. the relationship between cars and elevators D. the role of elevators in city developmentCFailure is probably the most exhausting experience a person ever has. There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding.We experience this tiredness in two ways: as start-up fatigue (疲惫) and performance fatigue. In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it has either too boring or too difficult. And the longer we delay it, the more tired we feel.Such start-up fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones. The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply: always handle the most difficult job first.Years ago, I was asked to write 102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors. Applying my own rule, I determined to write them in alphabetical (按字母的)order, never letting myself leave out a tough idea. And I always started the days work with the difficult task of essay-writing. Experience proved that the rule works.Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle. Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work, we fail again and again. In such a situation, I work as hard as I canthen let the unconscious take over.When planning Encyclopedia Britannica( 大英百科全书), I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles. Nothing like this had ever been done before, and day after day I kept coming up with solutions, but none of them worked. My fatigue became almost unbearable.One day, mentally exhausted, I wrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solved. I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me. Relived, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep.An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind. In the weeks that followed, the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind proved correct at every step. Though I worked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue. Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing.Human beings, I believe, must try to succeed. Success, then, means never feeling tired.28. People with start-up fatigue are most likely to .A. work hard B. delay tasks C. seek help D. accept failure29.What does the author recommend doing to prevent start-up fatigue?A. Writing essays in strict order. B. Building up physical strength.C. Leaving out the toughest ideas. D. Dealing with the hardest task first30. According to the author, the unconscious mind may help us .A. find the right solution B. get some nice sleepC. gain complete relief D. ignore mental problems31. What could be the best title for the passage?A. Success Is Built upon Failure B. How to Handle Performance FatigueC. Getting over Fatigue: A Way to Success D. Fatigue: An Early Sign of Health ProblemsDEvery year, World Blood Day is celebrated by blood services worldwide on 14 June, the birthday of Nobel Prize winner Karl Landsteiner, the man who discovered the ABO blood group system. If you have every thought of becoming a blood donor, just register to do it. And you should never worry about the donation.Just under a pint (around 470ml) of blood is taken at one sitting. This amount is no more than 13 percent of your total blood volume, and is quickly replaced by your body.It may come as a surprise, but whole blood is only rarely used. Different blood components are used to treat a range of conditions. None goes to waste. Red blood cells are frequently used to replace heavy blood loss after an accident, surgery or childbirth. White blood cells and antibodies(抗体)are used to help people fight infections if their immune system doesnt appear to be responding to antibiotics(抗生素). Plasma(血浆)，the straw-coloured fluid which carries the blood cells and contains proteins, are used to treat burned patients.First-time donors should be aged between 17 and 65, weigh at least 50kg and be in good health. If you have donated before, you can start being a donor again up to your 70th birthday.Although most people are able to give blood, some people who pose health risks or are at a higher risk of having come into contact with an infectious disease are no tasked to be donors. Pregnant women or those who have had a baby in the last 9 months should not donate blood.Blood has a very short shelf life. Some blood components can be kept longer than others, for instance red blood cells will keep for 35 days but platelets(血小板)for only five. Remember, you should wait at least 16 weeks before donating blood again.32. What component of blood is used to treat burned patients?_A. Plasma B. Red blood cell C. Antibody D. White blood cell33. We can learn from the passage that .A. whole blood is most widely used in hospitalB. platelets can be kept for more than 10 daysC. people can donate their blood four times a yearD. people can donate at most 470 ml of blood each time34. Who can donate their blood?_A. A teenager who is studying in a primary schoolB. A mother who is about to give birth to a new babyC. An adult who smokes and drinks from time to timeD. A man just coming back for a place suffering from malaria（疟疾）35. What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage?A. To teach people how to be a blood donorB. To give people the knowledge of blood donationC. To advise people to benefit from blood donationD. To remind people of the importance of blood donation第二节 (共5小题,每小题3分,满分15分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。How to Calm Down at WorkThe workplace can be a stressful place.
