职称英语考试综合类(C级)真题及答案6第三篇Political SpinsLast week，US White House spokesman Tony Snow sent journalists digging for their dictionaries．He called recent criticism by the former President Bill Clinton“chutzpah”(大胆放肆)．With just one sentence，Snow managed to make headlines，a joke and a defense of．President George W Bush．Interestingly, this is how battles are fought and won in US politics—with carefully-worded one—liners(一行字幕新闻)made for TV which often lack substance and clarity(清晰度)．“The amount of informat ion that candidates attempt to communicate to people is actually geeing smaller and smaller，”said Mark Smith，a political science professor at Cedarville University．This has been accompanied by a changing media environment，Smith said．In 1 968，the average TV or radio sound bite(演讲中的句子或短语)was 48seconds，according to Smith．In 1996，the average sound bite had shrunk(缩短)to 8 seconds．Thus，politicians wanting publicity try to make their public communication as quotable as possible．Campaigning politicians also use 30-second TV ads and clever campaign slogans(口号)to boost their messages．Republican presidential candidate John McCain rides to campaign stops in a bus named the” Straight-Talk Express”．McCain hopes the name will convince voters he plans to tell people the troth-whether it’s in fashion or not．Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton，on the other hand，has chosen the campaign slogan“Let the conversation begin”．She hopes it will help her appear open-minded and friendly．But one-liners，TV ads and campaign slogans all have a single key ingredient：something commonly called political“spin”．Brooks Jackson，a former journalist andthe current director of the non—partisan(无党派的)website Fact Check．org，calls spin” just a polite word for deception(欺骗).”“I do believe that very often politicians believe their own spin，”said Jackson．“Strong partisans suffer from a universal human tendency：They ignore the evidence that would force them into the uncomfortable position of having to change their minds and admit that they were wrong。

2020年职称英语综合类C级阅读理解历年真题及解析2020年真题第一篇Why Buy Shade-Grown Coffee?When people argue about whether coffee is good for health, they're usually thinking of the health of the coffee drinker. Is it food for your heart? Does it increase blood pressure? Does it help you concentrate? However, coffee affects the health of the human population in other ways, too.Traditionally, coffee bushes were planted under thecanopy ( 树冠) of taller indigenous ( 土生土长的 ) trees. However, more and more farmers in Latin America aredeforesting the land to grow full-sun coffees. At first, this increases production because more coffee bushes can beplanted if there aren't any trees. With increased production come increased profits.Unfortunately, deforesting for coffee production immediately decreases local-wildlife habitat.Native birdsnest and hide from predators ( 捕食者 ) in the tall trees and migrating birds rest there.Furthermore, in the long term, the full-sun method also damages the ecosystem because more chemical fertilizers and pesticides are needed to grow the coffee. The fertilizers and pesticides kill insects that eat coffee plant, but then the birds eat the poisoned insects and also die. The chemicalskill or sicken other animals as well, and can even enter the water that people will eventually drink.Fortunately, farmers in Central and South America are beginning to grow more coffee bushes in the shade. We can support these farmers by buying coffee with such labels as "shade grown" and"bird friendly."Sure, these varieties might cost a little more. But we're paying for the health of the birds, the land, ourselves, and the planet. I think it's worth it.31. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Farmers are changing the way they grow coffee.B. Coffee is becoming more expensive to produce.C. Shade-grow coffee is more expensive than sun-grow coffee.D. People should buy shade-grown coffee.32. The function of the word "Traditionally" in Paragraph 2 is to show __________.A. the positive effects of coffeeB. a change of coffee growthC. something that is the most importantD. how coffee production used to be33. What does increased production of full-sun coffee bring about?A. More insects.B. Better quality coffee.C. Larger farms.D. Higher profits.34. How do farmers find more land for growing full-sun coffee?A. They buy more land from other farmers.B. They cut down trees.C. They move to another country.D. They turn grassland into farmland.35. The full-sun method may affect the following EXCEPT __________.A. insectsB. airC. birdsD. humans.第二篇Across the DesertThe Sahara Desert is the largest desert in the world. It stretches across Africa from Senegal to Egypt. The Sahara Desert is an unfriendly environment. During the day it's very hot, and at night it's sometimes very cold. It is also difficult to find water in the Sahara.In 2006, Kevin Lin, Ray Zahab, and Charlie Engle decided to do something very difficult.They made the decision to run across the Sahara Desert 4,300 miles (6,920 kin). It seemedimpossible to do, but they wanted to try. The three men liked to test themselves, and this would be a very big test.On the morning of November 2, Kevin, Ray, and Charlie started their trip across the Sahara.Every morning they began running at 5：00. At 11 am they stopped and rested until 5 pm. Then they ran again until 9：30 in the evening. Each day they ran about 40 miles (64 kin) .Every day it was the same thing. They got up and ran. They listened to music on their iPods, and they ran and ran.Kevin, Ray, and Charlie needed to eat a lot of foodduring their trip. Most people need about 2,000 calories of food each day. Kevin, Ray, and Charlie needed between 6,000 and 9,000 calories every day. That's a lot of food! They also needed to drink a lot of water.The three men had some problems on their trip, and many times they wanted to quit and go home. It was often very hot during the day, and the heat made them sick. Their legs and feet hurt.Sometimes it was very windy, and they couldn't see. One time they got lost. But they didn't quit.After 111 days, Kevin, Ray, and Charlie successfully finished their trip across the Sahara Desert.They hugged each other and put their hands in the waterof the Red Sea. Then they ran to a hotel to take a long shower.36. The Sahara Desert is not fit for people to live in because of its __________.A. extreme weatherB. remotenessC. vastnessD. salty water37.

What's the reason for the success of their trip?A. They prepared sufficient food.B. They never got lost.C. They developed a good plan.D. They never gave up.第三篇The Value of TearsTears can ruin make-up, bring conversation to a stop, and give you a runny nose. They can leave you embarrassed and without energy. However, crying is a fact of life, and tears are very useful. Even when you're not crying, your eyes produce tears. These create a film over the eye's surface. This film contains a substance that protects your eyes against infection.Tears relieve stress, but we tend to fight them for all sorts of reasons. "People worry about showing their emotions. They're afraid that once they lose control, they'll never get it back."explains psychologist Dorothy Rowe. "As children we were sometimes punished for shedding tears or expressing anger. As adults we still fear the consequences of showing emotions."Almost any emotion--good or bad, happy or sad--can cause tears. Crying is a way that we release built-up emotions. Tears help you when you feel you are ready to explode because of very strong feelings. It may explain why people who are afraid to cry often suffer more heart attacks than people who cry more freely.When some people become very stressed, however, theycan't cry. They may be feeling shock,angel fear, or grief, but they repress (抑制) the emotion. "Everyone has the need to cry," says psychotherapist(精神治疗师)Vera Diamond. Sometimes in therapy sessions, patients participate in crying exercises. They practice crying so that they can get used to expressing emotion. Diamond says it's best to cry in safe, private places, like under the bedcovers or in the car.That's because many people get uncomfortable when others cry in front of them. In fact, they may be repressingtheir own need to cry.In certain situations, such as at work, tears are not appropriate. It's good to hold back tears during a tense business discussion. "But once you are safely behind closed doors, don't just cry,"Diamond says. She suggests that you act out the whole situation again and be as noisy and angry as you like. It will help you feel better. "And, "she adds," once our tears have released the stress, you can begin to think of logical ways to deal problem."Tears are a sign of our ability to feel. You should never be afraid to cry.41. The word "film" in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to __________.A. doorB. pointC. coatD. level42. Crying is useful in that itA. helps you not to exploreB. eases heart attacksC. makes others comfortableD. cleans your eyes43. According to Vera Diamond, crying should be__________.A. practicedB. repressedC. punishedD. done in public44. What are you expected to do in a tense business discussion?A. Hold back your tears.B. Cry in private.C. Release your stress with tears.D. Find out the problems.45. What is the main idea of this passage?A. How to release your stress.B. Ways to repress your emotion in public.C. How to fight tears in a business situation.D. Importance and necessity of crying.。

So they started making their own．In l920 Adolph made the first pair of athletic shoes with spikes(钉)，produced on the Dasslers' kitchen table．On lst July l924 they formed a shoe company，Dassler Brothers Ltd and they worked togetherfor many years．The company became successful and it provided the shoes for Germany's athletesat the l928 and l932 Olympic Games．But in l948 the brothers argued．No one knows exactly what happened，but family membershave suggested that the argument was about money or women．The result was that Adolph left the company．His nickname was Adi．and using this and the first three letters of the family name, Dassler, he founded Adidas．Rudolph relocated across the River Aurach and founded his own company too．At first hewanted to call it Ruda, but eventually he called it Puma，after the wild cat．The famous Puma logoof the jumping cat has hardly changed since．After the big split of l948 Adolph and Rudolph never spoke to each other again and their companies have now been in competition for over sixty years．Both companies were for many2 / 11years the market leaders, though Adidas has always been more successful than Puma．A hip hop group, Run DMC，has even written a song called “My Adidas”and in 2005 Adidas bought Reebok, another big sports shoe company．The terrible family argument should really be forgotten，but ever since it happened，over sixty years ago．the town has been split into two．Even now，some Adidas employees and Puma employees don't talk to each other．16 Adidas and Puma started to make sports shoes at the end of the l9th century．A RightB WrongC Not mentioned17 The brothers' father was a ball maker．A RightB WrongC Not mentioned18 The brothers first made sports shoes at home．A RightB WrongC Not mentioned19 The brothers provided sports shoes for the l924 Olympic Games．A RightB WrongC Not mentioned20 The brothers decided to start up their separate companies after the argument．A RightB WrongC Not mentioned21 Nike sells more shoes than Adidas．A RightB WrongC Not mentioned22 People in the town have now forgotten the argument．A RightB WrongC Not mentioned第3部分：概括大意与完成句子(第23-30题，每题l分，共8分)下面的短文后有2项测试任务：(1)第23—26题要求从所给的6个选项中为第1-4段每段选择1个最佳标题；(2)第27～30题要求从所给的6个选项中为每个句子确定1个最佳选项.Who Built Giza's Pyramids(金字塔)?1 For centuries，the pyramids of Giza have been timeless symbols of Egyptian culture．Butwho actually built them? For years，we did not know for sure．But archeologists(考古学家) recently discovered an ancient village near the pyramids．Close by．there was also a cemetery(墓地)where pyramid builders were buried．From studying these places，archeologists can now confirm that the pyramids were not built by slaves or foreigners．Ordinary Egyptians built them．3 / 112 It took about eighty years to build the pyramids．According to archeologists．about20,000-30,000 people were involved in completing the task．The workers had different roles．Some dug up the rock．some moved it，and some shaped it into blocks．People also worked on different teams. each with its own name．On a wall in Khufu's Great Pyramid，for example，a group of workers wrote “Fnends of Khufu．”Teams often competed to do a job faster．3 Life for these workers was hard．“We can see that in their skeletons(骨架).”says Azza Mohamed Sarry El-Din．a scientist studying bodies found in the cemetery．The bones show signsof arthritis(关节炎)，which developed from carrying heavy things for a long time．Archeologists have also found many female skeletons in the village and cemetery．The damage to their bones is similar to the men's．Their lives may have been even tougher：male workers lived to age 40—45．but women to only 30—35．However, workers usually had enough food．and they also had medical care if they got sick or hurt．4 The work was challenging, but laborers were proud of their work．“It's because they werenot just building the tomb of their king.”says Egyptian archeologist Zahi Hawass．“They were building Egypt．It was a national project．and everyone was a participant．”23 Paragraph l24 Paragraph 225 Paragraph 326 Paragraph 4A Pyramid builders' tough livesB An important national projectC Female pyramid builders：the challengesD Female pyramid builders' jobE Builders of the pyramidsF Egyptian salves27 The pyramids of Giza were built .28 To build the pyramids，the workers had different roles and worked .29 Both men and women workers suffered from arthritis which developed .30 The pyramid builders were proud .A by foreignersB of their workC by ordinary Egyptians4 / 11D on different teamsE of their kingF from taking heavy things第4部分：阅读理解(第31-45题，每题3分，共45分)．下面有3篇短文，每篇短文后有5道题.请根据短文内容，为每题确定l个最佳选项.第一篇The Changing Middle ClassThe United States perceives itself to be a middle-class nation．However，middle class is not a real designation，nor does it carry privileges(特权)．It is more of a perception，which probably was as true as it ever could be right after World War Ⅱ．The economy was growing，more and more people owned their own homes．workers had solid contracts with the companies that employed them, and nearly everyone who wanted a higher education could have one．Successful people enjoyed upward social mobility．They may have started out poor, but they could become rich．Successful people also found that they had greater geographic mobility．In other words．they found themselves moving to and living in a variety of places．The middle class collectively holds several values and principles．One strong value is theneed to earn enough money to feel that one can determine one's own economic fate．In addition，middle-class morality(道德观)embraces principles of individual responsibility，importance of family, obligations to others, and believing in something outside oneself．But in the l990s those in the middle class found that there was a price for success．AU.S.News & World Report survey in l994 indicated that 75 percent of Americans believed thatmiddle-class families could no longer make ends meet．Both spouses(配偶)now worked，as did some of the children，long commutes(通勤)became routine，the need for child care put strains on the family．and public schools were not as good as they once were．Members of the middle class were no longer financing their lifestyles through earnings but were using credit to stay afloat(透支)．The understanding of just what middle class meant was changing．31 This passage gives information about .A an individualB a social and economic groupC a political organizationD a government department32 In the years after World War Ⅱ, the middle class were .A overburdened and in debtB hard working and doubtful5 / 11C happy and full of hopeD young and upset33 One important middle-class value is that .A people should always have funB children should believe in themselvesC debt is nothing to worry aboutD they should earn enough to finance their lifestyles34 In the second paragraph, the word “collectively”means .A commonlyB hesitatinglyC unknowinglyD weakly35 The l994 survey showed most Americans thought the middle class .A took pleasure in raising childrenB had a regular journey to workC could not earn enough money to maintain their lifestylesD could easily maintain their lifestyles第二篇Puerto Rican Cuisine(菜肴)Puerto Rico, a Caribbean (加勒比海区) island rich in history and remarkable natural beauty,has a cuisine all its own. Immigration(移民) to the island has helped to shape its cuisine, with people from all over the world making various contributions to it. However, before the arrival of these immigrants, the Taino people lived on the island of Puerto Rico. Taino cuisine included such foods as rodents (啮齿动物), fresh shellfish and fish fried in corn oil.Many aspects of Taino cuisine continue today in Puerto Rican cooking, but it has beenheavily influenced by the Spanish, who invaded Puerto Rico in 1508, and Africans, who were initially brought to Puerto Rico to work as slaves. Taino cooking styles were mixed with ideas brought by the Spanish and Africans to create new dishes. The Spanish extended food choices by bringing cattle, pigs, goats, and sheep to the island. Africans also added to the island's food culture by introducing powerful, contrasting tastes in dishes. In fact, much of the food Puerto Rico is now famous for - coffee, coconuts, and oranges - was actually imported by foreigners to the island.6 / 11A common assumption many people make about Puerto Rican food is that it is very spicy(辛辣的). It's true that chili peppers are popular。

(第23-30题，每题1分，共8分)Interview with Allan Gray1 I was working for a multinational company in the early 1980s, and my brother asked me if I was interested in going into partnership with him to set up a language school. I’d always wanted to work for myself, and I was a bit fed up with working for someone else, so I said yes. Primarily, I wanted the freedom to make my own decisions, I wanted room to be creative, and also I wanted to be able to get the credit and keep the profits if things went wrong. These things are not possible if you work as an employee in a large organization.2 I had to borrow money to help start the business, but we were lucky because we also had some outside capital to put into the business. These days it can be really hard to persuade banks to lend money to people who want to start a company, so we were fortune. It was fairly easy to set up the business, because we had a very clear idea of what we wanted to do. The problem was, all our preconception(预想)about what it would be like to run a business were wrong. We made lots of mistakes, and we almost went bankrupt(破产的`) at the beginning .At one point, we only had two students in the school.3 Far too long! We lost money for the first four years and, asI was saying, we nearly went out of business. It took quite a longtime to start making profit. The best thing we did，through. was that we hired some really good people to work for us. In fact, some of those people are still working for us, 24 years later. Now we’re doing well, but it was very risky at first.4 One is financial constrain(约束). It can be very tough. I think all small business have cashflow problems—it often takes a long time to get paid by your customers. The second big problem is marketing. It takes a lot of funds to market your business, and you have to get your name known and build a reputation. But the biggest challenge is managing the people. All businesses are about people, and you have to learn how to deal with all kinds of people-and I think we’ve been extremely good at getting the best of our staff.23.Paragraph 1_____A.Strategies in expanding a small businessB.Right people to run a businessC.Time-consuming experience of being successfulD.Challenges of running a businessE.Difficulties in starting the businessF.Reasons for working for oneself【答案】F24.Paragraph 2_____A.Strategies in expanding a small businessB.Right people to run a businessC.Time-consuming experience of being successfulD.Challenges of running a businessE.Difficulties in starting the businessF.Reasons for working for oneself【答案】E25.Paragraph 3_____A.Strategies in expanding a small businessB.Right people to run a businessC.Time-consuming experience of being successfulD.Challenges of running a businessE.Difficulties in starting the businessF.Reasons for working for oneself【答案】C26.Paragraph 4_____A.Strategies in expanding a small businessB.Right people to run a businessC.Time-consuming experience of being successfulD.Challenges of running a businessE.Difficulties in starting the businessF.Reasons for working for oneself【答案】D27.If you made a bad decision as a boss, you had_____.A.to lose your houseB.to manage your employeesC.to keep independentD.to lend you moneyE.to take the responsibility for itF.to make profit【答案】E28.The difficult thing to start a business is to persuade banks_____.A.to lose your houseB.to manage your employeesC.to keep independentD.to lend you moneyE.to take the responsibility for itF.to make profit【答案】D29.If you hire the right people, you'll probably be able_____.A.to lose your houseB.to manage your employeesC.to keep independentD.to lend you moneyE.to take the responsibility for itF.to make profit【答案】F30.Besides financial and marketing challenges, you must know how_____.A.to lose your houseB.to manage your employeesC.to keep independentD.to lend you moneyE.to take the responsibility for itF.to make profit【答案】B四、阅读理解下面有3篇短文，每篇短文后有5道题。

职称英语综合C阅读理解真题及答案Belgium has given the world Audrey Hepburn Rene Magritte (surrealist artist)， the saxophone(萨克斯管)and deep-fried potato chips that are somehow called French.But the story behind this flat， twice-Beijing-size country is of a bad marriage between two nationalities living together that cannot stand each other. With no new government， more than a hundred days after a general election， rumors run wild that the country is about to disappear.“We are two different nations， an artificial state. With nothing in mon except a king，chocolate and beer.” Said Filp Dewinter， the leader of the Flemish Bloc， the extreme-right Flemish party.Radical Flemish separatists like Mr Dewinter want to divide the country horizontally along ethnic and economic lines： to the north. Flanders—where Dutch (known locally as Flemish) is spoken and money is increasingly made; to the south. French-speaking Wallonla， where today old factories dominate the landscape.The area of present-day Belgium passed to the French in the 18th century. Following the defeat of Napoleon in 1815. Belgium was given to the kingdom of the Netherlands， from which it gained independence as a separate kingdom in 1830.Since then， it has struggled for cohesion(结合)。

As many as6 ,000 people take part in over 20 sports．For the winilers，there are gold medals and glory. But there ishonor ,too，for al1 who compete，win or lose．That is in the spirit of the Olympics-to take part is what matters．The Olympic Gallies a1ways start in a bright color and action．The teams of all the nations parade in the opening ceremony and march round the track . The custom is for the Greek team to march in first.For it was im Greece that the Olympics began.The team of the country where the Games are beding held-the host country-marches im last.The runner with the Olympic torch（火柜）then enters the stadium and lighes the flame.A sportsman from the host country takes the Olympic oath(宣誓)on behalf of all the competitors.The judges and officials also take an oath.After the sportsmen march out of the stadium,the host country puts ona wonderful display.The competitions begin the next day. There are usually more than twenty sports in the Games.The rule is that there must be at least fifteen.The main events are in track and field,but it is a few days before these sports start. Each day the competitors take part in a differentsport-riding,shooting,swimming,and cross-country running.Points are gained for each event.Medals are awarded for the individual winners and for national teams.More and more women are taking part in the games．They first competed in 1900 ,in tennis and go1f，which are no longer held in the Olympics . Women's swimming events were introduced in 1912，But it was not until 1928 that there were any track and field events for they compete in all but half a dozen of the spcrts．In horse riding, shooting，and boat racing,they may compete in the same events as the men．31 Why is there honor for the losers as well as for the winners?A Because what really matters is to take part in the Olympic Games.B Because failure is the mother of success．C Because losers need encouragement.D Because losets and winner should be equally treated.32 Which of the following is along-established practce in the opening ceremony?A Runners enter the stadium with torches．B Each team puts on a wonderfu1 display．C Sportsmen and sportswomen wear magnificent clothes.D The Gteek team marches in first．33 Who takes the Olympic oath?A A sportsman from the host country.B A judge from a foreign country．C An officer from the host country．D A Greek sportsman.34 What are the most imponant events in the Olympic Games?A The horse-riding events．B The track and field events.C The swimming events．D The boat-racing events．35 When did women start taking part in the Olympic Games?A Inl912．B In 1928．C In 1900．D In 1924．第二篇SupermarketMost supermarkets need a very large floor area，sometimes at least ten times as big as that of an ordinary shop.There are usually two doors,one as an entrance and the other as an exit.The rest of the side facing the street is largely of plate glass,with goods or advertising material displayed.The other three walls are normally decorated in light colours,giving an impression of cleanliness(清洁)and brightness.Most supermarkets are on one floor only, goods being dstored in rooms at the back or upstairs.At right-angles to the window stretch long structures about six feet high with a number of shelves on eachside.Similar shelf units or frozen food containers extend round the walls.Broad aisles(通道)between the shelf units and ample(足够的)space between them and the window and also the far wall allow room for the circulation of many people. Individual commodities( 商品)，in tins,bags,boxes or other containers,are stacked(堆放)in groups on the shelves,and eachgroup is labeled with a price ticket.Metal baskets near the dentrance are taken by the shoppers who collect in them the goods they select from the shelves.【备注说明，非正文，实际使用可删除如下部分。

职称英语综合C阅读判断真题及答案

职称英语综合C阅读判断真题及答案Time to Stop Traveling by AirTwenty-five years ago a young British man called Mark Ellingham decided that he wanted a change of scenery. So he went to Australia, stopping off in many countries between. He also decided to write about the experience and produced a guide for other travelers making similar journeys.In 1970, British airports were used by 32million people. In 2004, the figure was 216 million. In 2030, according to government forecasts, it will be around 500 million. It’s a growth driven by the emergence of low cost airlines, offering access to all parts of the world for less than 100.This has made a huge contribution to global warming. One return flight from Britain to the US produces the same carbon dioxide(二氧化碳)as a year’s motoring(驾车). A return flight to Australia equals the emissions(排放)of three average cars for a year. And the pollution is released at a height where its effect on climate change is more than double that on the ground.Mark Ellingham built his business on helping people travel. Now he wants to help people stop – at least by air.He is calling for a 100 green tax on all flights to Europe and Africa, and 250 on flights to the rest of the world. He also wants investment to create a low-carbon economy, as well as a halt to airport expansion.Mark Ellingham’s commitment is important because his readers aren’t just the sort of young and adventurous people who would happily jump on a plane to spend a weekend exploring a foreign culture. They are also the sort of people who say they care about the environment. It’s a debate that splits people down the middle.The tourist industry has responded by offering offsetting(补偿)schemes. A small increase in the price of a ticket is used to plant trees.But critics say that it is not enough to just be carbon neutral. We should be actively cutting back on putting green house gases into the atmosphere. And for the average person, making a plane journey will be his or her largest contribution to global warming. It maybe good to repair the damage we do. But surely it is better not to do the damage in the first place.16.【题干】Mark Ellingham spent quite a few days in China on his way to Australia 25 years ago.【选项】A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned【答案】C【解析】17.【题干】Traveling from Britain to any other part of the world may cost you less than 100.【选项】A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned【答案】A【解析】18.【题干】A round trip flight from Britain to Australia produces the same amountof carbon dioxide as three average cars do in a year.【选项】A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned【答案】B【解析】19.【题干】Mark Ellingham has never hesitated to encourage people to travel by air.【选项】A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned【答案】B【解析】20.【题干】Mark Ellingham’s readers are not interested in environmental protection.【选项】A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned【答案】B【解析】21.【题干】Critics argue that the best way to protect our environment is not to do any damage to it.【选项】A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned【答案】A【解析】22.【题干】Mark Ellingham will collaborate with the critics in his efforts to fight global warming.【选项】A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned【答案】C。

Have you ever wondered why some people are suessful in business and others are not?Here’s a story about one suessful businessperson. He started out washing dishes and todayhe owns 168 restaurants.Zubair Kazi was born in Bhatkal, a small town in southwest India. His dream was to be anairplane pilot, and when he was 16 years old, he learned to fly a small plane.At the age of 23 and with just a little money in his pocket, Mr. Kazi moved to the United States.He hoped to get a job in the airplane industry in California. Instead, he ended up working for apany that rented cars.While Mr. Kazi was working at the car rental(租赁的)pany, he frequently ate at a nearbyKFC restaurant. To save money on food, he decided to get a job with KFC. For two months, heworked as a cook’s assistant. His job was to clean the kitchen and help the cook. “I didn’t likeit,” Mr. Kazi says, “but I always did the best I could.”One day, Mr. Kazi’s two coworke rs failed to e to work. That day, Mr. Kazi did the work of allthree people in the kitchen. This really impressed the owners of the restaurant.A few monthslater, the owners needed a manager for a newrestaurant. They gave the job to Mr. Kazi. Heworked hard as the manager and soon the restaurant was making a profit.A few years later, Mr. Kazi heard about a restaurantthat was losing money. The restaurant wasdirty inside and the food was terrible. Mr. Kazi borrowed money from a bank and bought therestaurant. For the first six months, Mr.Kazi worked in the restaurant from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.seven days a week. He and his wife cleaned up the restaurant, remodeled the front of thebuilding, and improved the cooking. They also tried hard to please the customers. If someonehad to wait more than ten minutes for their food, Mrs. Kazi gave them a free soda. Before longthe restaurant was making a profit.A year later, Mr. Kazi sold his restaurant for a profit. With the money he eared, he bought threemore restaurantsthat were losing money. Again, he cleaned them up, improved the food, andretrained the employees. Before long these restaurants were making a profit, too.Today Mr. Kazi owns 168 restaurants, but he isn’t planning to stop there. He’s looking for morepo orly managed restaurants to buy, “I love it when I go to buy a restaurant and find it’s amess,” Mr. Kazi says. “Theonly way it can go is up.”31.When Mr. Kazi was young, his dream was toA.be an airplane pilot.B.sell cars.C.own a restaurant.D.bee a good cook.32.Mr. Kazi decided to work with KFC toA.learn how to cook.B.save money for a car.C.save money on food.D.learn how to run a restaurant.33.Mr. Kazi became the manager of a new restaurant becauseA.he worked very hard.B.his co-workers praised him.C.he was a good cook.D.he knew how to run a restaurant.34.To save a failing restaurant, Mr. Kazi did all the following things, EXCEPT toA.advertise for it.B.clean it up.C.improve the food.D.retrain the employees.35.In the last paragraph, “it’s a mess” meansA.it’s small.B.it’s profitable.C.it’s dirty.D.it’s cheap.Most people believe they don’t have much imagination. They are wrong. Everyone hasimagination, but most of us, once we bee adults, forget how to aess it. Creativityisn’talways connected with great works of art or ideas. People at work and in their free timeroutinely think of creative ways to solve problems. Maybe you have a goal to achieve, a trickyquestion to answer or you just want to expand your mind! Here are three techniques to helpyou.This technique involves taking unrelated ideas and trying to find links between them. First,think about the problem you have to solve or the job you need to do. Then find an image,word, idea or object, for example, a candle. Write down all the ideas/words associated withcandles: light, fire, matches, wax, night, silence, etc. Think of as many as you can. The nextstage is to relate the ideas to the job you have to do. So imagine you want to buy a friend anoriginal present; you could buy him tickets to a match or take him out for the night.Imagine that normal limitations don’t exist. You have as much time/space/money, etc. as youwant. Think about your goal and the new possibilities. If, for example, your goal is to learn toski(滑雪), you can now practice skiing every day of your life (because you have the time andthe money). Now adapt this to reality. Maybe you can practice skiing every day in December, orevery Monday in January.Look at the situation from a different point of view. Good negotiators(谈判者) use thistechnique in business, and so do writers. Fiction writers often imagine they are the charactersin their books. They ask questions: what doesthis character wan t? Why can’t she get it? Whatchanges must she make to get what she wants? What does she dream about? If your goalinvolves other people, put yourself “in their shoes”. The best fishermen think like fish!36.Aording to the passage, when we bee adults.A.most of us are no longer creative.B.we are not as imaginative as children.C.we can still learn to be more creative.D.we are unwilling to be creative.37.Aording to the first technique, if you need to solvea problem,A.you should link it with candles.B.you have to think of buying a present for a friend.C.you should link it with as many words as possible.D.you could find an image and try to link it with the problem.38.The second technique suggests that you just imagineA.setting a goal is as simple as skiing.B.you have every resource to achieve your goal.C.new possibilities will soon appear.D.December and January are the best months for skiing.39.The phrase “put yourself ‘in their shoes’” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning toA.dress yourself like them.B.do as they ask you to.C.put on their shoes.D.think as they would.40.We learn from the third technique that a good salesman should ask himself:A.what are my customers’ needs?B.what do I usually do?C.what did my boss tell me to do?D.how should I sell my products?Is there something seriously wrong with marriage today? During the past 50 years, the rate ofdivorce in the United States has exploded: almost 50% of marriages end in divorce now, andthe evidence suggests it is going to get worse. If this trend continues, it will lead to thebreakup of the family, aording to a spokesperson for the National Family Association. Somefuturists predict that in 100 years, the average American will marry at least fourtimes ,andextramarital(婚外的)affairs will be even more mon than they are now.But what are the reasons for this, and is the picture really so gloomy(阴暗的)? The answer tothe first questionis really quite simple: marriage is no longer the necessityit once was. Theinstitution of marriage has been based for years partly on economic need. Women used to beeconomically dependent on their husbands as they usually didn’t have jobs outside the home.But with the rising number of women in well-paying jobs, this is no longer the case, so theydon’t feel that they need to stay in a failing marriage.In answer to the second question, the outlook may not be as pessimistic(悲观的)as it seems.While the rate of divorce has risen, the rate of couples marrying has never actually fallen verymuch, so marriage is still quite popular. In addition to this, many couples now simply livetogether and don’t bother to marry. These couples are effectively married, but they do notappear in either the marriage or divorce statistics. In fact, more than 50% of first marriagessurvive.So is marriage really an outdated institution? The fact that most people still get marriedindicates that it isn’t. And it is also true that married couples have a healthier life than singlepeople: they suffer less from stress andits consequences, such as heart problems, andmarried men generally consider themselves more contented than their single counterparts.Perhaps the key is to find out what makes a suessful marriage and apply it to all of ourrelationships!41.Which of the following is true about the marriage in the United States today?A.Divorce leads to the breakup of the family.B.More than half of the married couples get divorced.C.American people marry more than four times.D.More and more people are getting divorced.42.What does “this is no longer the case” in paragraph 2 mean?A.Women are not economically dependent any more.B.It is not necessary to get married any more.C.Women do not need a husband any longer.D.Many wives do well-paying jobs outside home now.43.Why is the outlook of marriage not as hopeless as it appears?A.Many people still like to get married.B.The rate of divorce has actually decreased.C.Over 60% of the marriages continue to exist.D.The statistics of divorce is reliable.44.How do most men feel in their marriage life?A.They feel much stronger than before.B.They don’t feel as lonely as before.C.They suffer more than before.D.They feel more satisfied than being single.45.Which of the following about marriage is NOT mentioned in the passage?A.It is important to discover what makes a marriage suessful.B.Marriage has long been partly an economic need.C.It is a fact that most people choose to get married.D.Many people went abroad after divorce.下面的短文有5处空白，短文后有6个句子，其中5个取自短文，请根据短文内容将其分别放回原有位置，以恢复文章面貌。
