12、rofessions and the extremely high educational and personal _29_. The imagined or real prestige of a profession or a White-collar job is _30_ good reason for choosing it as life's work. _31_, these occupations are not always well paid. Since a large percentage of jobs are in mechanical and manual

Some people desire social prestige, others intellectual satisfaction. Some want

Then he con

18、tinued to say, “I intended to give it to any one of you, but allow me to do a thing before giving it to you.” Suddenly he crumpled （揉）it into a round mass. Then he asked, “Who wants it? ” Still some hands were lifted up.He asked again, “Well, how could it be if I do it like this?” he threw the bill

19、onto the ground, stepped on it and twisted it. As he picked it up, the bill had become not only dirty but wrinkled.“Who still wants it?” Still a few people put up their hands.“My dear friends, you have had a meaningful class. No matter how I treated this bill, you still want it, because it is worth

20、20 dollars. On your life road, you may be knocked down（击垮） or even broken into pieces by your determination or unfavorable situations. We may feel ourselves worth nothing, but, my darling, remember that whatever happens in the future, you should never lose your value（价值） in the Gods heart. Youre par

21、ticular - never forget it.”36How many times did the speaker ask the people whether they wanted the bill?A. Once B. Twice C. Three times D. Four times37 The underlined word “wrinkled” in the third paragraph probably means _.A. broken B. having small lines or folds in it C. flat D. having holes on it3

How to give a meaningful classBWe might like to think we're not influenced by other people, but a new study into the group-buying mechanisms（机制） - like those used on coupon（优惠券

24、） sites such as Groupon and LivingSocial - reveals that telling buyers who come later to the offer how many have already signed up increases the number of purchasers.Researchers at the University of Toronto's Rotman School of Management wanted to understand why group buying sites that have enter

25、ed the market recently have enjoyed greater success than those operating a decade ago, such as Mercata and MobShop.Earlier attempts typically left potential buyers waiting for days before confirming whether or not they had got the offer they had signed up for.“We think one of the reasons group-buyin

26、g has been successful recently is because of the short time horizon,” says Rotman Professor Ming Hu, who co-wrote the study with Professor Mengze Shi and PhD student Jiahua Wu. “It allows for a herding effect.”Another reason is the use of an information structure that discloses to later arrivals how

27、 many have already signed onto the deal.Researchers looked at two ways of designing the purchasing mechanism for a group buy: a simultaneous mechanism, where no one knows how many buyers have come before them, and a sequential（连续的） mechanism, where a second group of buyers has the advantage of knowi

28、ng the size of the first group.The researchers' analytical（分析的） model shows the most successful mechanism is the sequential one because it eliminates uncertainty for those coming later to the deal, and improves the confidence of those who sign on early, as they're able to track the numbers o

29、f those who come after them.“That boosts confidence,” says Professor Hu, who teaches operations management. Deals for "luxury" services, versus everyday items, work better in a group buy scenario（方案） because they offer consumers a greater benefit.40It can be learned from the text that _. A

30、. the short time horizon is the reason why group-buying has been successful.B. a simultaneous mechanism is where a group of buyers has the advantage of knowing how many people have signed up.C. a sequential mechanism allows a herding effect which boosts the confidence of the buyers. D. researchers a

31、t the University of Toronto's Rotman School of Management carried out an experiment about why group buying sites entered the market successfully, such as Mercata and MobShop.41The underlined word “eliminates” in paragraph 7 probably means“_”.A. to become or to make something greater in amount, n

32、umber, valueB. to remove or get rid of somethingC. to deliberately not include something in what you are doing or considering D. to make something known to somebody42What can be the best title for the passage?A. Secret for marketing success boosting confidence.B. Secret for group-buying mechanismher

33、ding effect.C. Comparison between a simultaneous mechanism and a sequential mechanism.D. What others do influences our decisions.COK, I admit it: emoticons (表情符号) are popular. Some people even think they are fun. Many seem unable to get through an e-mail or Instant Message chat sentence without usin

34、g one. Some feel that they add feeling and character to otherwise cold digital communications. Some, however, such as editor and Hollywood scriptwriter John Blumenthal, blast (抨击) the use of emoticons as “infantile (幼稚的) just like the people who use them” He believes that words themselves should be

35、enough. “If youre being funny, happy or sad, that should be apparent (明显的) from the comment that goes before the emoticon,” he argues. In the eyes of Blumenthal, the use of emoticons is a gender issue. “Men dont use emoticons very much. Maybe not at all,” he said. “Teenage girls and women seem to us

36、e them a lot. Maybe there s an emoticon gene.”Its an interesting opinion, but it is not shared by all.In an interview with The New York Times, Dacher Keltner, professor of psychology at the University of California, said that emoticons are popular because our brains are programmed “to seek out repre

37、sentations of humanity”. He believes that they appeal not because they are shortcuts for the lazy, but because they tap into (融入) something beyond language. They reach to our need to be with and communicate with people.All of these arguments may be somehow valid (正确的). Each one of us will choose to

38、communicate in our own way. I do not have much time for emoticons. I tried to use one once and felt like I was stealing into a primary school class that I had no place being in. Id rather let my words do the talking.Friends, however, send me messages and e-mails full of emoticons. I have no problem

39、with this. I dont regard any of my friends as lazy or immature (不成熟的). Its just a question of individuality. :)43According to the article, emoticons are popular because _. A. most of them look funnyB. they are easy for lazy people to useC. they add feeling and character to a communicationD. a reader

40、 cannot understand a message without them44Which of the following views would John Blumenthal agree with? A. Instant Message chatters are childish.B. Its enough to use language in digital communication.C. Men never use emoticons. D. There is an emoticon gene in everybody.45From the text, we can conc

41、lude that the author _. A. feels he has no difficulty using emoticonsB. thinks emoticons dont suit himC. encourage his friends to use emoticonsD. believes that emoticons are suitable for everyone46What is the main point of the article? A. Advice on language used over the Internet.B. The history of e

42、moticons.C. Arguments over the use of emoticons.D. Reasons for the popularity of emoticons.DSmoking, which may be a pleasure for some people, is a series of discomfort for their fellows. Medical scientists have expressed their concern about effect of smoking on the health not only of those who smoke

43、 but also those who do not smoke. In fact, non-smokers who take in the air polluted by tobacco smoke suffer more than the smokers themselves. A great number of students are trying to persuade the university to forbid smoking in classrooms. Believe they are completely right in their aim. However, I t

44、hink it more important to achieve this by calling on the smokers to use good judgment and to show concern for others. Smoking is not allowed in theaters, cinemas and in other public places. Therefore, smoking must be forbidden in our classroom. Although many people have passed away for having smoked

45、 a lot and we call on people to give up smoking, yet many more that are following will turn down what we say every day, above all, the young people smoke a lot more. 47 In the writers opinion, smoking does good to _. A. nobody B. some people C. smokers D. young people 48 The phrase “pass away” proba

46、bly means _. A. leave ones home B. lose ones life C. pass by D. go away 49According to the selection, which of the following is true? A. Smokers suffer from the polluted air more than the non-smokers. B. Non-smokers suffer from the polluted air more than the smokers.C. Non-smokers suffer as much fro

47、m the polluted air as the smokers. D. Non-smokers dont suffer so much from the polluted air as the smokers. 第II卷（非选择题）四、阅读填空根据短文内容，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项。It is not so easy to disagree with your parents.
