I walked on and soon found the cause a little taxi that had got stuck in the middle of the road. There was sweat on the drivers face as he tried to start the engine again and again nothing happened. No petrol, I said to myself and then found myself getting angry. Why doesnt the fool move his taxi to the side? I thought, so did all the others who honked and shouted.He got up tiredly, and the passenger in the taxi got out. He was a young man in a white shirt, who watched the driver try to push it to the side. Stupid guy! I said. Cant he lend a helping hand? I watched as the poor driver pushed it to the side. Cars, buses and trucks went past cursing (咒骂 ) the poor man. The young man took another taxi and went off. The taxi driver began mending his taxi. Stupid passenger! I said to him. He didnt help you! The taxi driver slowly got up. Sir! he asked, Did you? I looked at him guiltily, then looked away, and walked away fast, asking myself, Did I help the poor man push his taxi?What had I been doing as the traffic jam took place? How had I helped deal with the problem? Did I help the poor man push his taxi? Id done my bit, with my mouth. But never had I moved to solve the problem. I was shocked with guilt as I heard him asking, Sir! Did you?56. Why did a traffic jam happen on the road when the author was walking to the park?A. There was too much traffic in the street.B. Truck drivers attempted to go ahead of others.C. A taxi driver couldnt start his engine.D. A young man wasnt good at driving.57. The authors attitude toward the passenger is that of _.A. angerB. respect C. sympathy D. guilt58. Why did the author feel guilty?A. Because he blamed the driver wrongly.B. Because he didnt help the driver, either.C. Because he tried to help but failed in the end.D. Because he didnt persuade the passenger to help.59. From the incident, the author learnt a lesson that we should_.A. criticize those who dont helpB. hurt the self-respect of others no moreC. think more of those who are in needD. stop talking and start to helpBIs there a magic cutoff period when children become responsible for their own actions? Is there a wonderful moment when parents can become spectators (audiences) in the lives of their children and shrug, “Its their life,” and feel nothing? When I was in my twenties, I stood in a hospital passage waiting for doctors to put a few stitches(缝线) in my sons head. I asked, “When do you stop worrying?” The nurse said, “When they get out of the accident stage.” My mother just smiled faintly and said nothing. When I was in my thirties,I sat on a little chair in a classroom and heard how one of my children talked continually and disrupted the class. As if to read my mind, a teacher said. “Dont worry. They all go through this stage and then you can sit back, relax and enjoy them.” My mother just smiled faintly and said nothing. When I was in my forties, I spent a lifetime waiting for the phone to ring, the cars to come home, the front door to open. A friend said, “Theyre trying to find themselves. Dont worry; in a few years, you can stop worrying. Theyll be adults.” My mother just smiled faintly and said nothing. By the time I was 50, I was sick and tired of being weak. I was still worrying over my children, but there was a new wrinkle. There was nothing I could do about it. My mother just smiled faintly andsaid nothing. I continued to suffer from their failures, and be absorbed in their disappointments. My friends said that when my kids got married I could stop worrying and lead my own life. I wanted to believe that, but I was haunted(萦绕心头) by my mothers warm smile and her occasional “You look pale. Are you all right? Call me the minute you get home. Are you depressed about something?” Can it be that parents are sentenced to a lifetime of worry? One of my children became quite anxious about me recently, saying, “Where were you? Ive been calling for three days, and no one answered. I was worried.” I smiled a warm smile. 60. The author intends to tell us in the passage that_. A. parents long for a period when they no longer worry about their children B. there is no time when parents have no worry about their children C. its parents duty to worry about their children D. there should be a period when parentsdont have to worry about their children61. We can infer from the underlined sentence “My mother just smiled faintly and said nothing.” that _. A. her mother shared the same idea as the nurse B. her mother didnt agree with the nurse C. her mother thought the nurse was lying D. her mother wouldnt express her opinion upon the matter62 The author mentioned her ages of twenties, thirties, forties and fifty in order to show_. A. the hard times she experiences in her life B. the different stages of her children C. the support she received from her mother D. she had been worrying about her children in her life63 What can we infer from the last sentence? A. The mother was happy that her child began to worry about her, too B. Finally the mother didnt have to worry about her children C. At last the mother could live her own life without worry. D. The mother succeeded in turning her children into adults.64 Which of the following should be the best title? A Life B Parents C Worry D ChildrenCIt takes courage to stand up at work. Now more and more people are standing up when they are working on something important. Standing up is in fashion. Medical researchers have found that people who stand at work tend to be much healthier than those who sit. But I wasnt just looking for better health standing would also improve how I work and relax my body.In recent years, many office supply companies have begun to sell adjustable desks. These so-called sit / stand models are equipped with an electric motor that lets them shift from chair height to person height at the push of a button. Unfortunately, sit / stand desks tend to be expensive, hard to find and not very easy to test in person.I discovered that when I worked standing up, my mind was clearer and new ideas kept coming to me. I suspect that this is because when youre standing, you feel a bit unchained from your desk. If I got stuck on a word or sentence as I wrote it, I found myself shaking my arms, bouncing (跳) on my feet or stepping away from the desk for a bit things I couldnt do in a chair. Often, standing up seemed to relax my mind enough for me to get over creative barriers.Theres another thing about standing for a long time: I tend to get hungrier than I do when I sit on a chair. That feels like confirmation(证实) of the stand-up advocates belief that you burn more calories when you stand than when you sit. For this reason alone, I m hoping that one day mass-market furniture companies can make many low-priced versions of sit / stand desks. We could all work with a bit more standing up.65. The author likes standing up while working because _.A. he wants to show that he has a lot of courageB. researchers say standing makes one healthier C. he intends to catch up the fashion trendD. he hopes to improve his work and relax himself66. It can be inferred from the text that _.A. adjustable desks are mass-produced nowB. adjustable desks are easy to operateC. cheaper adjustable desks will soon be availableD. adjustable desks can be tried out easily67. What is the main idea of the text?A. Standing up at work is a better choice.B. Standing up at work takes courage.C. Standing up at work burns more calories.D. Standing up at work will replace traditional sitting.DWith the Indian economy predicted to grow by 7.5 percent this year, experts say it could be time for Western CEOs to learn some lessons from Indian CEOs. The key differences between Indian and Western bosses are:Social purposeOne of the most important things is that Indian leaders lead with a sense of social purpose. Every leader in India gave a specific social purpose as being the goal of their business. Those purposes ranged from improving healthcare to getting cell phones to people who didnt have access to communication tools. Having a social purpose motivates workers.Invest in employeesIndian firms invest an enormous amount in their employees training and development. IT firms typically offer 60 days of formal training for newly hired workers and they even spend months training experienced workers. A study said that Western firms have largely abandoned investing in employees, seeing it as a waste if they quit. But Indian bosses believe that investing in employees ensures the quality of those who stay at the company.Take the long viewIndian bosses stress far less on shareholders than it is typical at Western business. As a result theyre more able to take a long-term view. Western companies cant just ignore their shareholders, but their CEOs can do more to protect their -employees from short-term financial pressures, letting them get on with their jobs.Work from their strengthsWestern companies often think about strategy in terms of chasing customers or pursuing marketopportunities, but Indian firms will more often start by identifying their strengths and customers needs, and then try to meet those needs.Act as a role modelBeing a personal role model for their employees is an amazing thing for a CEO. If Western bosses could think of themselves as role models, it would have a real impact on their workers.68. Indian CEOs use their sense of social purpose to _.A. improve the workers healthcare systemB. provide cell phones to people in needC. motivate and encourage their employeesD. promote the development of communication systems69. Western firms have largely abandoned investing in employees training and development because _.A. it takes too long to complete the formal training of newly hired workersB. they often hire experienced workers who dont need much trainingC. they are afraid of the losses brought about by the resignation of employeesD. they dont care about the quality of the employees in their firms70. Which of the following is TRUE about Western bosses?A. They stress on workers more than shareholders.B. They always act as role models for employees.C. They are good at identifying their own strengths.D. They pay closer attention to market opportunities.第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。What is a yawn(哈欠) and why do people yawn? A yawn is often associated with a person being tired. 71 People yawn for many reasons including stress, boredom, emotion and overwork.Have you noticed that yawning seems to be contagious (会传染的)? If one person yawns, this appears to cause another person to yawn. Researchers have found that 40-60% of people who see a picture of someone yawning will yawn themselves. 72 Some people think that yawning is rude and suggests that you are bored or uninterested. Maybe a yawn is a signal to a group that its time to go to sleep, or if someone yawns when theyre bored, it may be a sign to change the topic of conversation. 73 Animals of all types yawn. If you have a dog or cat, youve probably seen your pet yawn several times. Even some birds yawn such as cockatiel parrots, Adelie penguins and Emperor penguins.Some of the scientific explanations of why we yawn claim it is caused by physical needs. One likely explanation is that the yawning reflex happens when our blood needs more oxygen. The deep breath helps supply the levels of oxygen in our blood. 74 It is also thought that the same chemicals in our brain that affect our moods and emotions cause us to yawn.Superstitions about yawning have been around for hundreds of years and can date back to the ancient Greeks. A common superstition says that a person must cover his or her mouth when yawni
