（1）Passage 1 2016浙江卷 A
“Did you hear what happened to Adam l ast Friday?” Lindsey whispers to Tori.
With her eyes shining, Tori brags, “You bet I did, Sean told me two days ago.”
Who are Lindsey and Tori talking about? It just happened to be yours truly, Adam Freedman. I can tell you that what they are saying is（A）not nice and（B）not even true. Still, Lindsey and Tori aren’t very different from most students here at Linton High School, including me. Many of our conversations are gossip（闲话）. I have noticed three effects of gossip: it can hurt people, it can give gossipers a strange kind of satisfaction, and it can cause social pressures in a group.
An important negative effect of gossip is that it can hurt the person being talked about. Usually, gossip spreads information about a topic—breakups, trouble at home, even dropping out—that a person would rather keep secret. The more embarrassing or shameful the secret is, the juicier the gossip it makes. Probably the worst type of gossip is the absolute lie. People often think of gossipers as harmless, but cruel lies can cause pain.
If we know that gossip can be harmful, then why do so many of us do it? The answer lies in another effect of gossip: the satisfaction it gives us. Sharing the latest rumor（传言）can make a person feel important because he or she knows something that others don’t. Similarly, hearing the latest rumor can make a person feel like part of the “in group.” In other words, gossip is satisfying because it gives people a sense of belonging or even superiority（优越感）.
Gossip also can have a third effect: it strengthens unwritten, unspoken rules about how people should act. Professor David Wilson explains that gossip is important in policing behaviors in a group. Translated into high school terms, this means that if everybody you hang around with is laughing at what John wore or what Jane said, then you can bet that wearing or saying something similar will get you the same kind of negative attention. The do’s and don’ts conveyed through gossip will never show up in any student handbook.
The effects of gossip vary depending on the situation. The next time you feel the urge to spread the latest news, thing about why you want to gossip and what effects your “juicy story” might have.
41．The author uses a conversation at the beginning of the passage to ________.
A．introduce a topic B．present an argument
C．describe the characters D．clarify his writing purpose
42．An important negative effects of gossip is that it ________.
A．breaks up relationships B．embarrasses the listener
D．causes unpleasant experiences
C．spreads information around
43．In the author’s opinion, many people like to gossip because it ________.
A．gives them a feeling of pleasure C．makes them better at telling stories B．helps them to make more friends D．enables them to meet important people
44．Professor David Wilson think that gossip can ________.
A．provide students with written rules B．help people watch their own behaviors
D．attract the police’s attention to group behaviors C．force school to improve student handbooks
45．What advice does the author give in the passage? ________
A．Never become a gossiper C．Don’t let gossip turn into lies （2）Passage 2 B．Stay away from gossipers D．Think twice before you gossip.
Facebook is growing at an exceptional pace as it enters adolescence, promoting it into a better position to challenge Google as the Internet’s most powerful company.
Facebook’s fourth-quarter report Wednesday provided the company’s latest impressive progress. It marked the first time that Facebook’s quarterly revenue（收益）has surpassed $5 billion more than fading Internet star Yahoo now generates in an entire year. Facebook’s earnings also more than doubled to $1.56 billion, even as the Menlo Park, California, company invests heavily in virtual reality, artificial intelligence, Internet access in remote parts of the world and a mobile ad network for services other than its own. The performance lifted Facebook’s stock by $11.37, or 12 percent, to $105.82 in extended trading after the report came out.
Although Google remains three times larger by revenue, Facebook has been closing the gap as it sells more mobile advertising on its addictive social-networking app.
“I’m excited about our progress and the chance to build something great for the future,” Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg told analysts in a Wednesday conference call.
Google is now hiring more virtual-reality specialists, a sign that is trying to catch up with Facebook in a still- young field that could transform computing. But consider this: Facebook will be turning 12 years old next week and it just posted revenue of $5.8 billion in its latest quarter. At the same stage of its existence in September 2010, Google’s net revenue stood at $5.5 billion.
What’s more, Facebook’s revenue is climbing at a more rapid clip than Google’s was at a comparable stage. Facebook’s revenue in the past quarter represented a 52 percent increase from the same time a year ago. When it turned 12 years old, Google’s quarterly net revenue rose 25 percent from the previous year.
In another sign of Facebook’s progress, its share of the digital advertising market rose from 8 percent in 2014 to 10 percent worldwide last year, according to the research firm eMarketer Inc. Google’s share shrank from 32 percent in 2014 to 30 percent last year.
1．What is Mark Zuckerberg’s attitude towards Facebook’s development prospects? ________ A．Ambiguous. B．Doubtful. C．Optimistic D．Pessimistic.
训练2015江苏卷
B
In the United States alone, over 100 million cell-phones are thrown away each year. Cell-phones are part of a growing mountain of electronic waste like computers and personal digital assistants. The electronic waste stream is increasing three times faster than traditional garbage as a whole.
Electronic devices contain valuable metals such as gold and silver. A Swiss study reported that while the weight
of electronic goods represented by precious metals was relatively small in comparison to total waste, the concentration（含量）of gold and other precious metals was higher in so-called e-waste than in naturally occurring minerals.
Electronic wastes also contain many poisonous metals. Even when the machines are recycled and the harmful metals removed, the recycling process often is carried out in poor countries, in practically uncontrolled ways which allow many poisonous substances to escape into the environment.
Creating products out of raw materials creates much more waste material, up to 100 times more, than the material contained in the finished products. Consider again the cell-phone, and imagine the mines that produced those metals, the factories needed to make the box and packaging（包装）it came in. Many wastes produced in the producing process are harmful as well.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency notes that most waste is dangerous in that “the production, distribution, and use of products—as well as management of the resulting waste—all result in greenhouse gas release.”Individuals can reduce their contribution by creating less waste at the start—for instance, buying reusable products and recycling.
In many countries the concept of extended producer responsibility is being considered or has been put in place as an incentive（动机）for reducing waste. If producers are required to take back packaging they use to sell their products, would they reduce the packaging in the first place?
Governments’ incentive to require producers to take responsibility for the packaging they produce is usually based on money. Why, they ask, should cities or towns be responsible for paying to deal with the bubble wrap（气
泡垫）that encased your television?
From the governments’ point of view, a primary goal of laws requiring extended producer responsibility is to transfer both the costs and the physical responsibility of waste management from the government and tax-payers back to the producers.
58．By mentioning the Swiss study, the author intends to tell us that ________.
A．the weight of e-goods is rather small B．E-waste deserves to be made good use of
C．natural minerals contain more precious metals D．the percentage of precious metals is heavy in e-waste 59．The responsibility of e-waste treatment should be extended ________.
A．from producers to governments C．from individuals to distributors B．from governments to producers D．from distributors to governments
60．What does the passage mainly talk about? ________
A．The increase in e-waste. B．The creation of e-waste.
C．The seriousness of e-waste. D．The management of e-waste.

Suppose you become a leader in an organization. It’s very likely that you’ll want to have volunteers to help with the organization’s activities. To do so, it should help to understand why people undertake volunteer work and what
keeps their interest in the work.
Let’s begin with the question of why people volunteer. Researchers have identified several factors that motivate people to get involved. For example, people volunteer to express personal values related to unselfishness, to expand their range of experiences, and to strengthen social relationships. If volunteer positions do not meet these needs, people may not wish to participate. To select volunteers, you may need to understand the motivations of the people you wish to attract.
People also volunteer because they are required to do so. To increase levels of community service, some schools have launched compulsory volunteer programs. Unfortunately, these programs can shift people’s wish of participation from an internal factor（e.g., “I volunteer because it’s important to me”）to an external factor（e.g., “I volunteer because I’m required to do so”）. When that happens, people become less likely to volunteer in the future. People must be sensitive to this possibility when they make volunteer activities a must.
Once people begin to volunteer, what leads them to remain in their positions over time? To answer this question, researchers have conducted follow-up studies in which they track volunteers over time. For instance, one study followed 238 volunteers in Florida over a year. One of the most important factors that influenced their satisfaction as volunteers was the amount of suffering they experienced in their volunteer positions. Although this result may not surprise you, it leads to important practical advice. The researchers n ote that attention should be given to “training methods that would prepare volunteers for troublesome situations or provide them with strategies for coping with the problem they do experience”.
Another study of 302 volunteers at hospitals in Chicago focused on individual differences in the degree to which people view “volunteer” as an importa nt social role. It was assumed that those people for whom the role of volunteer was most part of their personal identity would also be most likely to continue volunteer work. Participants indicated the degree to which the social role mattered by responding to statements such as “Volunteering in Hospital is an important part of who I am.” Consistent with the researchers′ expectations, they found a positive correlation（正相关）between the strength of role identity and the length of time people continued to volunteer. These results, once again, lead to concrete advice: “Once an individual begins volunteering, continued efforts might focus on developing a volunteer role identity.... Items like T-shirts that allow volunteers to be recognized publicly for their contributions can help strengthen role identity”.
61．People volunteer mainly out of ________.
A．academic requirements C．financial rewards B．social expectations D．internal needs
62．What can we learn from the Florida study? ________
A．Follow-up studies should last for one year. C．Strategy training is a must in research. B．Volunteers should get mentally prepared. D．Volunteers are provided with concrete advice.
63．What is most likely to motivate volunteers to continue their work? ________
A．Individual differences in role identity. C．Role identity as a volunteer. B．Publicly identifiable volunteer T-shirts. D．Practical advice from researchers.
64．What is the best title of the passage? ________
A．How to Get People to Volunteer B．How to Study Volunteer Behaviors
D．How to Organize Volunteer Activities C．How to Keep Volunteers′ Interest
