Each p

25、assage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice. Passage One Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage. Careers for women should not be any different from careers for men

26、. Decisions about gainful and satisfying employment for women should be made on the basis of individual interest and abilities. A variety of factors can help women find better jobs. Women need better career planning and counseling. They should be encouraged to develop personal goals that will enable

27、 them to compete for good jobs in light of their abilities, desires and training. Career guidance should begin at the junior high school level, or even at the elementary school level, with the assistance of counselors, teachers and parents. Some women must change their career aspirations. Since open

28、ings in the usual womens occupations will not be sufficient to supply jobs for all women seeking work, they must choose alternatives in other occupations. Many of these jobs may pay higher wages and offer greater opportunities for promotion. In the past, too many women were forced to settle for seco

29、nd best. Others were willing to settle for inferior jobs because they felt that their stay in the labor force would be temporary. However, the situation is changing as more and more women become aware of the possibility of combining the roles of wife, mother, and homemaker with that of paid worker.

30、Employers attitudes about womens roles and desires to work need to be changed. Perhaps, the overriding factors and the myths that employers, policymakers, and others in our society have unfairly associated with the work patterns of women. One such myth is that women are not seriously attached to the

31、 labor force, as they work only for pocket money. However, one recent study shows that of the 33 million women in the labor force, more than half are working because of pressing economic needs. These women comprise a group who are either single, widowed, divorced, separated, or married to men with i

32、ncomes of less than $ 5,000 a year. Women constitute nearly two fifths of the work force. However, because of foregone conclusions about their interests and abilities, women are unfairly restricted in the kinds of jobs they hold. Their concentration in the less rewarding, lower paying occupations wi

33、th fewer chances for advancement. Personal choice in the world of work will begin to become a reality when the guidance counselor, the shop teacher, the plant employer, and women themselves are able to develop an appreciation for the differences in personal abilities and desires. 31. Which of the fo

34、llowing is the thing that the author advises women to do? A) To stay at home and become proficient with domestic work. B) To take jobs reserved for men when other jobs are unavailable. C) To remain in jobs usually dominated by women. D) To settle for second best jobs. 正确答案： B 32. According to this e

35、ssay, women have often settled for inferior jobs because _. A) they only work for pocket money B) they do not expect to work very long C) employers have put much emphasis on factory laborers D) they think they are inferior to men 正确答案： B 33. According to the essay, which one is not mentioned? A) Wom

36、en should appreciate their desires and personalities in choosing jobs for themselves. B) Women should plan their careers and consult others. C) Women should apply for jobs which offer higher pay and promotion. D) Women should, first of all, be good housewives whatever they do, or wherever they aim .

37、 正确答案： D 34. Which of the following best expresses the main idea of this essay? A) Equality for men and women in employment is easier said than done.

C) Keeping relaxed in the interview. D) Concentrating on inferior jobs. 正确答案： A Passage Two Questions 36 to 40 are based on the follow

39、ing passage. If you were to examine the birth certificates of every soccer player in 2006s World Cup tournament you would most likely find a noteworthy quirk: elite soccer players are more likely to have been born in the earlier months of the year than the later months. If you then examined the Euro

40、pean national youth teams that feed the World Cup and professional ranks, you would find this strange phenomenon to be even more pronounced. What might account for this strange phenomenon? Here are a few guesses：a) certain astrological signs confer superior soccer skills. b) winter-born babies tend

41、to have higher oxygen capacity which increases soccer stamina. c) soccer mad parents are more likely to conceive children in springtime at the annual peak of soccer mania. d) none of the above. Anders Ericsson, a 58-year-old psychology professor at Florida State University, says he believes strongly

42、 in “none of the above.” Ericsson grew up in Sweden, and studied nuclear engineering until he realized he would have more opportunity to conduct his own research if he switched to psychology. His first experiment nearly years ago, involved memory: training a person to hear and then repeat a random s

43、eries of numbers. “With the first subject, after about 20 hours of training his digit span had risen from 7 to 20,” Ericsson recalls. “He kept improving, and after about 200 hours of training he had risen to over 80 numbers.” This success coupled with later research showing that memory itself was no

44、t genetically determined, led Ericsson to conclude that the act of memorizing is more of a cognitive exercise than an intuitive one. In other words, whatever inborn differences two people may exhibit in their abilities to memorize those differences are swamped by how well each person “encodes” the i

45、nformation. And the best way to learn how to encode information meaningfully, Ericsson determined, was a process known as deliberate practice. Deliberate practice entails more than simply repeating a task. Rather, it involves setting specific goals, obtaining immediate feedback and concentrating as

46、much on technique as on outcome. Ericsson and his colleagues have thus taken to studying expert performers in a wide range of pursuits, including soccer. They gather all the data they can, not just predominance statistics and biographical details but also the results of their own lavatory experiment

47、s with high achievers. Their work makes a rather startling assertion: the trait we commonly call talent is highly overrated. Or, put another way, expert performers whether in memory or surgery, ballet or computer programming are nearly always made, not born. 36. The birthday phenomenon found among s

48、occer players is mentioned to _. A) emphasize the significance of professional training B) spotlight the soccer superstars in the World Cup C) introduce the topic of what makes expert performance D) state the importance of gifts in playing soccer 正确答案： C 37.

A) depends on meaningful processing of information B) results from intuitive rather than cognitive exercises C) is determined by genetic rather than psychological factors D) requires immediate feed

50、back and a high degree of concentration 正确答案： D 39. Ericsson and his colleagues believe that _. A) talent plays a dominating role in professional success B) biographical data provide the key to excellent performance C) the role of talent tends to be overlooked D) high achievers owe their success mos

51、tly to nurture 正确答案： D 40.
