Students are basing their research for business school on thei r network of contacts, skills and knowledge to acquire and the brand value associated to it. Here is the Top Four of Busines s School Worldwide.

I am a second-
year student at the University of St Thomas, a private liberal-arts school. I am a political-
science major: for sure I am going to law school; maybe I am going to be president. But first I need to take one more Englis h course, and I don't know which one to choose.
I have heard about one English professor in particular, Dr Jos eph Connors. Several people have told me the same thing: T ake a class from Dr. Connors. It's rumored that, on the last da y of the semester, his students rise and give him a standing o vation(掌
声). I decide to ask his advice about which course would be b est for me.
Having graduated from a high school that enforced short hairc uts, I have long hair. I also have a beard. I am wearing boots and an Army-
surplus overcoat. The great wonder is that, when I knock on h is door looking like this, Dr. Connors doesn't call security. He smiles. He welcomes me into his office, where the shelves ar e lined with books.
Dr. Connors is the most educated man I will ever meet. He re ads all of Shakespeare's plays each year. He also reads Bos well's Life of Johnson annually. He knows a great many poem s by heart, but I don't know any of this yet as Dr. Connors brin gs me into his office and makes me feel there just might be ro om for me in this place. He takes books down from his shelve s and shows them to me. He talks about the Romantic writers he's teaching next semester — Blake, Keats, Byron — as if th ey were mutual friends of ours, I nod a lot. These books are tr easures: I can tell by the way he handles them. They contain secrets I want to know.
Dr. Connors spends a long time with me, and behind his see mingly simple questions there often lie deeper, more difficult t heories. I leave his office well on my way to becoming an Engl
ish major. I don't want to be president any more; I want to be Dr. Connors.
24. Before seeing Dr. Connors, the author _______.
A. has his hair cut short
B. expects there to be tro uble
C. fails to make an appointment
D. has his beard shave
d off
25. What does the author try to indicate through paragraph 4?
A. Shakespeare’s popularity.
B. Dr. Connors’ talent for literature.
C. Dr. Connors’ affection for literature.
D. The importance o
f plays and poems.
26. Which words can be used to best describe Dr. Connors?
A. Rich and powerful.
B. Wise and generous.
C. Serious and stubborn.
D. Learned and easy-going.
27. What do we know about the author from the last paragrap h?
A. He will soon become a lawyer.
B. He is no longer inter ested in politics.
C. He is confused about his future.
D. He is tired of Dr. C onnors theories.
C
The Tulane University School of Medicine in New Orleans has added an unconventional course to its curriculum.Medical s tudents can now take cooking classes in addition to their usua l training.This is intended to improve doctors’nutritional know ledge and encourage them to use food to prevent or cure illne sses.
According to a survey,
most medical students in the U.S.receive on average 20 h ours of nutritional education throughout their entire education .This is a low number,
especially when one considers that diet is at the core(核
心)of many modern Western diseases.From Type 2 diabete s,heart disease,reflux to obesity,allergies,
depression and arthritis,
eating the right foods can go a long way towards recovery,while significantly reducing dependency on medicinal drugs.A big part of the problem is that nutritional guidelines in North America are vague,impractical,
and difficult to apply.Everyone,
from doctors to schoolchildren,
learns about specific nutrients and percentages of recommen ded daily intakes,
but that doesn’t translate easily to the grocery store.Training doctors to cook,however,
takes nutritional education to a whole new level.Not only will doctors be able to explain which foods are best to eat,
but they will also understand how to prepare them.Tulane m edical students prepare for teaching future patients by offering free cooking classes to New Orleans residents—
a beneficial arrangement for everyone who shares that food.Fortunately,
the model seems to be catching on.Already two other medic al schools have licensed the curriculum and are adding it to th eir courses.Tulane also offers nutritional training for health—focused chefs from a nearby cooking school,
which makes a lot of sense.After a11,
with the frequency with which North Americans eat out,
we could all benefit from chefs who know how to balance nutri tion with great taste.
28.What does the author want to tell us by listing the diseas es in Paragraph 2?
A.Proper diets help cure them.B.Proper diets c an replace drugs.
C.They are difficult to treat. D.They are typical western diseases.
29.What’s the author’s attitude towards the present nutrition al guidelines in America?
A.Amazed. B.Confused. C.Dissatisfied. D.Inte rested.
30.What can we know about the course from the 1ast parag raph?
A.It will benefit chefs. B.It is becoming popular .
C.It has a long way to go. D.It encourages ea ting out.
31.Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A.Take a Cooking Course B.Learn to Be a Good Doctor
C.Live Your Life to the Full D.Let Food Be Your Me dicine
D
Vacation is a time for refreshment. In work, we are often calle d to think. Sometimes, it’s good to give our brains a rest. With out a break, we may not be able to perform up to our potential . This can be a problem, not only for the employee, but for the
employer as well.
“The main benefit of vacation is for the worker to come bac k energized,” says Weaver. “If they haven’t had a break, then they’re not coming back with new energy. They haven’t had a chance to step back and get perspective(远
景), and come back with renewed enthusiasm.”
Long working hours without a break, insecurity about one’s job, and other work-
related worries can lead to burnout and stress. Humans can u sually adapt to pressure, but not for a limitless amount of time .
“It is a problem of relating good workers and having them lo yal to the firm while they’re there,” says David Maume, PhD, p rofessor of sociology at the University of Cincinnati. He says b urnout can also affect employees’ productivity, creativity, and effectiveness.
In addition, high levels of stress may lead to depression, w hich can hit both the employer and empl oyee’s pocketbook. E ven people who manage to remain productive at work can ha ve problems. If they’re always at work, then they’re not with th eir family and friends. If they’re working while on vacation, for the time that they’re on the job, they’re not really present.
An unbalanced emphasis on work can strain family and soc
ial life. When you come up for air, you may see that you’re alo ne, or that your relationships have gone on without you.
32. What’s the main benefit of a vacation?
A. The manager can be more creative.
B. The worker can step back and get more excited
C. The worker can come back with new energy.
D. The worker can adapt to pressure much better.
33. The underlined word “there” in the fourth paragraph proba bly refers to ________.
A. the vacation
B. the home
C. the university
D. the company
34. When a worker is always at work, he is likely to get more and more__________ .
A. absent-
minded B. energetic C. skillful D. ac tive
35. Which of the following is the best title of the text?
A. How to spend the vacation effectively.
B. Why the workers need a vacation.
C. How to deal with the daily pressure.
D. Why the workers ne ed new energy.
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。
Do’s and Don’ts of Donating
Giving up your unused or unwanted stuff is a great way to m ake space in your home for the items that you do enjoy on a r egular basis. 36 Here are some do’s and don’ts of donating your belongings.
Do Prepare Your Clothes.
You’ve thoroughly cleaned out your closet and drawers, and h ave a mountain of clothing waiting to be donated. Before you bag up these pieces, inspect each one to ensure that they’re i n good condition. Make sure all buttons are fastened, and that you can’t see any dirty marks. 37
Don’t Donate Damaged Items.
The number one rule of donating your stuff is to make sure th at it’s in good, useable condition. Don’t pass along old clothes or furniture with rips(裂
口)or stains, chipped dishes, books that are missing pages, or toys with lost pieces. 38 Find a local company that will rec ycle these items instead.
Do Donate More Than Just Clothes.
39 Stuffed animals, framed pictures, unused candles, small power tools, sports equipment, baskets, dishes, glassware, si lverware, pots and pans, curtains, blankets, toasters, mixers, pillows, towels, bed sheets, bikes, and exercise equipment ar
e very popular donations.
40
With a little common sense it’s easy to figure out items that ar e ideal for donation. But unfortunately some people will throw away the contents of their home without a second thought. As a gentle reminder, it’s never a good idea to donate car parts, flammable products, construction materials, weapons, or expl osives.
A. Clothes aren’t the only household items that can be donate d.
B. Food donations are always in need.
C. Don’t Even Think of Donating These Items
D. Wash the items to make them fresh and ready for their ne w owner.
E. Don’t Donate Large Appliances
F. Nobody wants your damaged belongings.
G. Not sure where to start?

science major: for sure I am going to law school; maybe I am going to be president. But first I need to take one more English course, and I don't know which one to choose.
I have heard about one English professor in particular, Dr Joseph Connors. Several people h ave told me the same thing: Take a class from Dr. Connors. It's rumored that, on the last day of the semester, his students rise and give him a standing ovation(掌
声). I decide to ask his advice about which course would be best for me.
Having graduated from a high school that enforced short haircuts, I have long hair. I also hav e a beard. I am wearing boots and an Army-
surplus overcoat. The great wonder is that, when I knock on his door looking like this, Dr. Co nnors doesn't call security. He smiles. He welcomes me into his office, where the shelves are lined with books.
Dr. Connors is the most educated man I will ever meet. He reads all of Shakespeare's plays each year. He also reads Boswell's Life of Johnson annually. He knows a great many poems by heart, but I don't know any of this yet as Dr. Connors brings me into his office and makes
me feel there just might be room for me in this place. He takes books down from his shelves and shows them to me. He talks about the Romantic writers he's teaching next semester —Blake, Keats, Byron — as if they were mutual friends of ours, I nod a lot. These books are tre asures: I can tell by the way he handles them. They contain secrets I want to know.
Dr. Connors spends a long time with me, and behind his seemingly simple questions there of ten lie deeper, more difficult theories. I leave his office well on my way to becoming an Englis
h major. I don't want to be president any more; I want to be Dr. Connors.

The Tulane University School of Medicine in New Orleans has added an unconventional cour se to its curriculum.Medical students can now take cooking classes in addition to their usual training.This is intended to improve doctors’nutritional knowledge and encourage them to u se food to prevent or cure illnesses.
According to a survey,
most medical students in the U.S.receive on average 20 hours of nutritional education thr oughout their entire education.This is a low number,
especially when one considers that diet is at the core(核
心)of many modern Western diseases.From Type 2 diabetes,heart disease,
reflux to obesity,allergies,depression and arthritis,
eating the right foods can go a long way towards recovery,
while significantly reducing dependency on medicinal drugs.。
