2012年自考英语阅读模考试题及答案3

Passage TwoIn 1998 consumers could purchase virtually anything over the Internet. Books, compact discs, and even stocks were available from World Wide Websites that seemed to spring up almost daily. A few years earlier, some people had predicted that consumers accustomed to shopping in stores would be reluctant to buy things that they could not see or touch in person. For a growing number of time-starved consumers, however, shopping from their home computer was proving to be a convenient alternative to driving to the store.A research estimated that in 1998 US consumers would purchase $7.3 billion of goods over the Internet, double the 1997 total. Finding a bargain was getting easier, owing to the rise of online auctions and Websites that did comparison shopping on the Internet for the best deal.For all the consumers’ interest, retailing in cyberspace was still a largely unprofitable business, however, Internet pioneer Amazon. com, which began selling books in 1995 and later branched into recorded music and videos, posted revenue of $153.7 million in the third quarter, up from $37.9 million in the same period of 1997. Overall, however, the company’s loss widened to $45.2 million from $9.6 million, and analysts did not expect the company to turn a profit until 2001. Despite the great loss, Amazon. Com had a stock market value of many billions, reflecting investors’ optimism about the future of the industry.Internet retailing appealed to investors because it provided an efficient means for reaching millions of consumers without having the cost of operating conventional stores with their armies of salespeople. Selling online carried its own risks, however. With so many companies competing for consumers’ attention, price competition was intense and profit margins were thin or nonexistent. One video retailer sold the hit movie Titanic for $9.99, undercutting the $19.99 suggested retail price and losing about $6 on each copy sold. With Internet retailing still in its initial stage, companies seemed willing to absorb such losses in an attempt to establish a dominant market position.Questions 16-20 are based on Passage Two16. According to the writer, which of the following is true?A. Consumers are reluctant to buy things on the Internet.B. Consumers are too busy to buy things on the Internet.C. More and more consumers prefer Internet shopping.D. Internet retailing is a profitable business.17. Finding a bargain on the Internet was getting easier partly because _____.A. there were more and more online auctions.B. there were more and more Internet users.C. the consumers had more money to spend.D. there were more goods available on the Internet18. “For all the consumer interest” (Para. 3) means _____.A. to the interest of all the consumersB. for the interest of all the consumersC. all the consumers are much interestedD. though consumers are very much interested19. It can be inferred from the passage that Amazon. com ______.A. is making a profit nowB. will probably make a profit in 2001C. is a company that sells books onlyD. suffers a great loss on the stock market20. Investors are interested in Internet retailing because _____.A. selling online involves little riskB. Internet retailing is in its initial stageC. they can make huge profits fromD. it can easily reach millions of consumers。

2012年4月份学位英语考试模拟题-3

M odel Test3Part I Reading comprehension（35minutes,40points)Questions1to5are based on the following passage.A new generation addiction is quickly spreading all over the world.Weboholism,a twentieth century disease, affects people from different ages．They surf the net,use e-mail and speak in chat rooms.They spend many hours on the computer,and it becomes a compulsive habit.They cannot stop,and it affects their lives.Ten years ago,no one thought that using computers could become compulsive behavior that could affect the social and physical life of computer users,This obsessional behavior has affected teenagers and college students. They are likely to log on computers and spend long hours at different websites.They become hooked on computers and gradually their social and school life is affected by this situation. They spend all free time surfing and don't concentrate on homework,so this addiction influences their grades and success at school.Because they can find everything on the websites,they hang out there.Moreover,this addiction to websites influences their social life.They spend more time in front of computers than with their friends.The relation with their friends changes. The virtual life becomes more important than their real life.They have a new language that they speak in the chat rooms and it causes cultural changes in society.Because of the change in their behavior,they begin to isolate themselves from the society and live with their virtual friends.They share their emotions and feelings with friends who they have never met in their life. Although they feel confident on the computer,they are not confident with real life friends they have known all their life.It is a problem for the future.This addictive behavior is beginning to affect all the world.1.The main idea of the passage is about________A)the cause of weboholism B)the advantage of weboholismC)the popularity of wcboholism D)the influence of weboholism2.The underlined word“obsessional”in the second paragraph most probably means________A)attractive B)addictive C)professional D)potential3.We can infer from the passage that________A)weboholism has the greatest effect on teenagersB)students can hardly balance real and virtual lifeC)people are addicted to games on the InternetD)virtual life is more vivid and attractive anyway4.Which of the following is NOT true of weboholism?A)It contributes to the development of the web.B)The chat room language may change social culture.C)The problem will be getting more and more seriousD)People addicted to the web often become inactive in real life.5.The author’s attitude towards weboholism is that of being______A)optimistic B)positive C)oppositive D)acceptablePassage TwoQuestions6to10are based on the following passage.The English policeman has several nicknames but the most frequently used are“copper”and“bobby”.The first name comes from the verb to“cop”(which is also slang),meaning to“take”or“capture”,and the second comes from the first name of Sit Robert Peel,the nineteenth-century politician,who was the founder of the police force,as we know it today.An early nickname for the policeman was“peeler”,but this one has died out.Whatever we may call them,the general opinion of the police seems to be a favorable one;except,of course, among the criminal part of the community where the police are given more derogatory（贬义的）nicknames which originated in American such as“fuzz”or“pig”.Visitors to England seem,nearly always to be very impressed by the English police.It has,in fact,become a standing joke that the visitor to Britain,when asked for his views of the country,will always say,at some point or other,“I think your policemen are wonderful.”Well,the British bobby may not always be wonderful but he is usually a very friendly and helpful sort of character.A music-hall song of some years ago was called,“If You Want to Know the Time,Ask A Policeman”. Nowadays,most people own watches but they still seem to find plenty of other questions to ask the policeman.In London,the policemen spend so much of their time directing visitors about the city that one wonders how they ever find time to do anything else!Two things are immediately noticeable to the stranger,when he sees an English policeman for the first time. The first is that he does not carry a pistol（手枪）and the second is that he wears a very distinctive type of headgear(帽子),the policeman’s helmet.His helmet,together with his height,enables an English policeman to be seen from a considerable distance,a fact that is not without its usefulness.From time to time it is suggested that the policeman should be given a pistol and that his helmet should be taken from him,but both these suggestions are resisted by the majority of the public and the police themselves.6.Nowadays British people call the policeman________.A)pig B)peeler C)fuzz D)bobby7.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A)There are fewer criminals in America than in Britain.B)The English police usually leave a deep impression on visitors.C)The British bobby is friendly but not helpful.D)The English police enjoy having pistols.8.If you see an English policeman for the first time,you will probably notice at once thatA)he often tells people time B)he is usually very helpfulC)he has a helmet on his head D)he wears special clothes9.That an English policeman can be seen from some distance is______A)of some help to people B)of no help to peopleC)very strange and funny D)a standing joke10.Visitors praise the English police because________.A)they are armed with modern equipmentB)they obey ordersC)they are often given thanks by peopleD)they are polite and helpfulPassage ThreeQuestions11to15are based on the following passage.As a company executive（经济管理人员）who spent ten years in federal service,I am often asked what I regard as the biggest difference between working for the government and working for a private company.My invariable response is to say that I took back on my time in government as one of the most exciting and challenging experiences of my life.Furthermore,I never worked as hard as when I was a public servant.When I worked for the government,I worked with some of the finest,most competent and most committed people I have ever met.I was impressed by the overall quality of our career civil servant then,and I still am.But one of my greatest concerns now is that I will not be able to hold this same high opinion in the future.Career public servants are leaving government in alarming numbers,and qualified replacements are becoming harder and harder to find.Good people who leave career government service are striving for highly paidpositions in private enterprises.We depend on government to keep this country safe in an uncertain world,to secure justice and domestic order and to solve a host of pressing problems.We need the best possible people performing and overseeing these vital tasks.A high-quality,professional federal service has been a source of national pride for more than a century. But what we have built up during a hundred years can be lost in less time than we imagine.We can't afford to let this happen.We must act now if this country is to be assured of the quality public service it deserves11.According to the author,_____so I will not be able to hold this same high opinion in the future.A)I never worked as hard as when I was a public servantB)I have become a company executiveC)there will not he so many competent and qualified servants in the government as we had beforeD)my time in government was not the most exciting experiences in my life12.Career public servant,are leaving government in alarming numbers.One of the reasons may be that __________.A)they received less pay B)they deserved no fame and gloryC)they performed poorly D)they worked harder than

shops so crowed and the staff so busy,it does not require any extraordinary talent to help yourself to one or two little things and escape unnoticed.It is known,in the business,as“hoisting”.But the hoisting game is not what it used to be.Even at the height of the sales,shoplifters today never know if they are being watched by one of those evil little balls that hang from the ceilings of so many department stores above the most desirable goods.As if that was not trouble enough for them,they can now be filmed at work and obliged to attend a showing of their performance in court.Selfridges was the first big to install closed-circuit video-tape equipment to watch its sales floors.In October last year the store won its first court case for shoplifting using as evidence a video-tape clearly showing a couple stealing dresses.It was an important test case which encouraged other stores to install similar equipment.When the balls,called sputniks,first make an appearance in shops it was widely believed that their only function was to frighten shoplifters.Their somewhat ridiculous appearance,the curious holes and red lights going on and off,certainly make the theory believable.It did not take long,however,for serious shoplifters to start showing suitable respect.Soon after theequipment was in operation at Selfridges,store detective Brian Chadwick was sitting in the control room watching a woman secretly putting bottles of perfume into her bag.“As she turned to go,”Chadwick recalled,“She suddenly looked up at the‘sputnik'and stopped.She could not possibly have seen that the camera was trained on her because it is completely hidden,but she must have had a feeling that I was looking at her.”“For a moment she paused,but then she returned to counter and started putting everything back.When she had finished,she opened her bag towards the camera to show it was empty and hurried out of the store.”16.January is a good month for shoplifters because________A)they don't need to wait for staff to serve themB)they don't need any previous experience as thievesC)there are so many people in the storeD)there are more goods in the shops17.The sputniks hanging from the ceiling are intended________A)as an amusing kind of decorationB)to make films that can be used in evidenceC)to frighten shoplifters by their appearanceD)to be used as evidence against shoplifters18.The case last October was important because________A)the store got the dresses backB)it repaid the investment on the equipmentC)other shops found out about the equipmentD)the kind of evidence supplied was accepted19.The woman stealing perfume_______.A)guessed what the sputniks were forB)was frightened by its shapeC)could see the camera filming herD)could feel there is a policeman

had picked upD)wanted to prove she had not intended to steal anythingPart II Vocabulary and Structure(30minutes,20points)21.That was a very______story he told about the boy who loved his dog.A)cute

全国2012年7月高等教育自学考试英语阅读（一）试题课程代码：00595全部题目用英文作答(翻译题除外)，请将答案填在答题纸相应位置上I. Careful Reading. (40 points, 2 points for each)Directions: Read the following passages carefully. Decide on the best answers and thenwrite the corresponding letters on your Answer Sheet.Passage OneQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.The Nile made Egypt’s civilization possible. The river is more than 400 miles long. In its fertile valley crops are grown for food and cotton for clothing. Mud from the river bottom makes good bricks for houses. Thus ways of getting food, clothing and shelter were close for the Egyptians.The Nile is a highway for the people of Egypt. Flat bottomed boats and large narrow barges carry products from one city to another. There are also passenger boats on the Nile, carrying people up and down the river. In ancient times huge blocks of stones were floated down the river on barges. These stones are used in making buildings and monuments.For thousands of years the Egyptians have depended on the Nile for their crops. The land on both sides of the Nile is desert, where crops cannot be raised. But crops grow well in the Nile Valley. In fact, several different crops are often grown on the same land during the same year.Once the Nile flooded each year, overflowed its banks, and carried rich soil in land every summer. These floods were caused by early summer rains.At present there is a series of dams in the Nile. Water raises high in the river each summer as usual. The people do not let the Nile flood, however. They store the water behind dams. It is now possible to use the water as needed, not just at flood time.1. In the past ______.A. there was rain all the year longB. the Nile flooded every yearC. the Nile became deeper and deeper after each rainfallD. the Nile was not a long river2. Egyptians have grown crops well ______.A. on both sides of the NileB. on the land near the desert areaC. in the Nile valleyD. far away from the desert area3. In the valley of the Nile ______.A. bricks for houses are madeB. different crops are raised on the same landC. only cotton can grow wellD. people grow all crops except cotton4. “The Nile is a highway for the people of Egypt” means ______.A. cars and trucks can move as fast as possible along itB. the river bottom can serve as a road in dry seasonC. the river is an important water transportation line in EgyptD. on the river there are a lot of boats and people5. Which of the following can best summarize the passage?A. The Nile is the source of flood.B. The Nile is a highway for the people in Egypt.C. The flat bottomed boats have been used.D. The Nile made Egypt’s civilization possible.Passage TwoQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.Sleep plays a major role in preparing the body for an alert and productive tomorrow. But sleep is not a period of inactivity. The sleeping brain is highly active at various times during the night, performing numerous “house keeping tasks”. These keep us alive and aid our ability to think and remember. Sleep also energizes the body and brain. Most people spend one-third of their lives sleeping and this will affect the other two-thirds in terms of alertness, energy, moods, body weight, perception, memory, thinking, reaction time, productivity and performance.To limit sleep means our health and daytime potential are significantly reduced. So, good sleep strategies are essential in order to feel energized day after day. There is no strategy which works for everyone, so each person needs to experiment. On e important thing is that you shouldn’t worry too much if you go a few nights without a lot of sleep. It won’t ruin your life. On any given night, one in four people can’t sleep properly and everyone suffers from a lack of sleep at some time.How does one minimize this problem? It is really quite simple. The first thing you must do is to reduce stress as much as possible. Stress is part of everyday life and, while we can never be entirely without stress, it can be managed. This means taking control of your life and focusing on what is important. One sleeping strategy is to sit in a comfortable position, close your eyes and relax all your muscles, breathing easily through your nose. Continue this for ten to twenty minutes. This should help you reduce stress and sleep better. Or, you can try getting plenty of exercise, because a tired body is likely to sleep better.6. According to the passage, sleep is important because ______.A. it is a period of complete inactivity for the brainB. it helps us understand what we have already achievedC. it makes us more effective when we are awakeD. it helps us to lose weight7. Methods of getting enough sleep ______.A. vary between men and womenB. are the same for everybodyC. vary from person to personD. are based on your job8. According to the passage, being unable to sleep ______.A. affects young children the mostB. affects everybody at some timeC. is worse for those who have relaxing livesD. is likely to ruin people’s life9. A simple strategy to sleep better is to ______.A. work harder than you couldB. put your stress under controlC. breathe through your noseD. sleep on a chair instead of bed10. After a lot of physical exercise, ______.A. you should find stress increases dramaticallyB. you will become out of breathC. you should be able to enjoy better sleepD. you will not need to sleep for some timePassage ThreeQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.Every body gets sick. Disease and injury make us suffer throughout our lives, until finally some attack on the body brings our existence to an end. Fortunately, most of us in modern industrialized societies can take relatively good health for granted most of the time. In fact, we tend to fully realize the importance of good health only when we or those close to us become seriously ill. At such times we keenly appreciate the ancient truth that health is our most precious asset, one for which we might readily give up such rewards as power, wealth, or fame.Because ill health is a universal problem, affecting the individual and society, the human response to sickness is always socially organized. No society leaves the responsibility for maintaining health and treating ill health entirely to the individual. Each society develops its own concepts of health and sickness and authorizes certain people to decide who is sick and how the sick should be treated. Around this focus there arises, over time, a number of standards, values,groups, statuses, and roles: in other words, an institution. To the sociologist, then, medicine is the institution concerned with the maintenance of health and treatment of disease.In the simplest pre-industrial societies, medicine is usually an aspect of religion. The social arrangements for dealing with sickness are very elementary, often involving only two roles: the sick and the healer (治疗者). The latter is typically also the priest, who relies primarily on religious ceremonies, both to identify and to treat disease: for example, bones may be thrown to establish a cause; songs may be used to bring about a cure. In modern industrialized societies, on the other hand, the institution has become highly complicated and specialized, including dozens of roles such as those of brain surgeon, druggist, hospital administrator, linked with various organizations such as nursing homes, insurance companies, and medical schools. Medicine, in fact, has become the subject of intense sociological interest precisely because it is now one of the most pervasive and costly institutions of modern society.11. Which of the following statements is true according to Paragraph 1 ?A. Nowadays most people believe they can have fairly good health.B. Human life involves a great deal of pain and suffering.C. Most of us are aware of the full value of health.D. Ancient people believed that health was more expensive than anything else.12. The word “authorize” in Paragraph 2 means“______”.A. make way forB. give power toC. write an order forD. make it possible for13. In Paragraph 2, we learn that the sociologist regards medicine as ______.A. a system whose purpose is to treat disease and keep people healthyB. a universal problem that affects every societyC. a social responsibility to treat ill healthD. a science that focuses on the treatment of disease14. According to Paragraph 3, which of the following is NOT true?A. In the past, bones might be used to decide why people fell ill.B. In pre-industrial societies priests sometimes treated patients by singing.C. Modern medicine is so complicated that sociology no longer has a place in it.D. There were only two roles in an elementary medical system, the patient and the one who triedto cure him.15. The author of this passage is mainly concerned with ______.A. sociological aspects in medicineB. medical treatment of diseasesC. the development of medical scienceD. the role of religion in medicinePassage FourQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.English people are less genetically diverse today than they were in the days of the Vikings, possibly due to two deadly diseases that swept their country centuries ago, a new study says.The study compared DNA from ancient and modem Englanders and found that the country has a smaller gene pool than it did a thousand years ago.The finding s come in contrast to modem England’s reputation as a cultural melting pot, where in many major cities you are as likely to hear Urdu from India or Yoruba from Nigeria being spoken on the streets as English.Rus Hoelzel, a geneticist from the Britain’s University of Durham, and his colleagues obtained DNA samples from the skeletal remains of 48 ancient Britons who lived between A. D. 300 and 1000. The researchers studied the DNA, which was passed down from mothers to their children. By comparing the DNA with that of thousands of people from various ethnic backgrounds living in England today, they found that genetic diversity was greater in the ancient population. The team also compared the ancient DNA with samples from people living in continental Europe and the Middle East, and found a similar lack of genetic variety.One possible explanation for this narrowing of diversity might be two major outbreaks of plague that swept England and much of Europe — the Black Death (1347 — 1351) and the Great Plague (1665 — 1666).The Black Death epidemic is estimated to have killed as much as 50 percent of the population of Europe. Three centuries later, a fifth of the population of London died in the Great Plague. However, these diseases didn’t kill randomly, Hoelzel explained. “The plague killed some people while others remained resistant,” he said.Eske Willerslev, a specialist in ancient DNA from the University of Copenhagen, said he is surprised by the findings but agrees that the historic epidemics may explain the loss in diversity.Since the diseases, it appears that England hasn’t been able to make up the loss to the gene pool, despite the high rate of immigration into the country over the past 200 years.16. The mode m England’s reputation as “a cultural melting pot” (Para. 3) most probably means______.A. English people speak many different languagesB. England has a population of many different cultural originsC. England is famous for exporting melting potD. England has a close diplomatic relationship with India and Nigeria17. The DNA comparison between modern and ancient English people reveals ______.A. great changes have taken place in the genetic contents in the DNAB. DNA differs among different people from different ethnic backgroundsC. there is less DNA diversity in modern Englishmen than in their ancestorsD. modern Englishmen has the same DNA diversity as their ancestors18. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?A. The ancient DNA used in this study was gathered from the bones of the ancient British people.B. The genetic information carried by DNA is passed to children from fathers.C. Although modern England has high immigration rate, it still suffers from poor genetic variety.D. England, European continent and Middle East all suffer from lack of genetic variety.19. The two deadly diseases, namely the Black Death and the Great Plague ______.A. affected England more than any other countries in EuropeB. broke out between the thirteenth century and the sixteenth centuryC. took less than half of the population away in EnglandD. left some people alive with resistance for the diseases20. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A. Willerslev was not prepared to see the lack of genetic variety in modern EnglandB. many immigrants moved to England to seek a new life after the two diseasesC. the gene bank will need to introduce more new genes to make up for its lossesD. England will need to immigrate more people to make up its gene lossII. Speed Reading. (10 points, 1 point for each)Directions: Skim or scan the following passages. Decide on the best answers and then writethe corresponding letters on your Answer Sheet.Passage FiveQuestions 21-25 are based on the following passage.Du Bois was a sociological and educational pioneer who challenged the established system of education that tended to restrict rather than to advance the progress of black Americans. He challenged what is called the “Tuskegee machine” o f Booker T. Washington, the leading educational spokesperson of the blacks in the US. A sociologist and historian, Du Bois called for a more determined and activist leadership than Washington provided.Unlike Washington, whose roots were in southern black agriculture, Du Bois’s career spanned both sides of the Mason-Dixon Line. He was a native of Massachusetts, received his undergraduate education from Fisk University in Nashville, did his graduate study at HarvardUniversity, and directed the Atlanta University Studies of Black American Life in the South. Du Bois approached the problem of racial relations in the United States from two dimensions: as a scholarly researcher and as an activist for civil rights. Among his works was the famous empirical (经验主义的) sociological study, The Philadelphia Negro: A Social Study, in which he examined that city’s black population and made recommendations for the school system. Du Bois’s Philadelphia study was the pioneer work on urban blacks in America.Du Bois had a long and active career as a leader in the civil rights movement. He helped to organize the Niagara Movement in 1905, which led to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), established in 1909. From 1910 until 1934, Du Bois edited The Crisis, the major journal of the NAACP In terms of its educational policy, the NAACP position was that all American children and youth should have genuine equality of educational opportunity. This policy, which Du Bois helped to formulate, stressed the following themes: (1) public schooling should be free and compulsory for all American children; (2) secondary schooling should be provided for all youth; (3) higher education should not be monopolized by any special class or race.As a leader in education, Du Bois challenged not only the tradition of racial segregation in the schools but also the accommodationist (妥协的;迁就的) ideology of Booker T. Washington. The major difference between the two men was that Washington sought change that was evolutionary in nature and did not upset the social order, whereas Du Bois demanded immediate change. Du Bois believed in educated leadership for blacks, and he developed a concept referred to as the “talented tenth”, according to which 10 percent of the black population wou ld receive a traditional college education in preparation for leadership.21. Compared with Booker T. Washington, Du Bois’s political stand was ______.A. less popularB. more radicalC. less aggressiveD. more conservative22. According to the text, Du Bois worked as all of the following EXCEPT ______.A. an editorB. an educatorC. a scholarD. an official23. It is Du Bois’s belief that ______.A. the blacks have a priority in terms of educationB. higher education should be free for all racesC. everyone has an equal right to educationD. development in education should be gradual24. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Washington would not appreciate the idea of overthrowing social order.B. Racial separation is an outcome of accommodationist ideology.C. Washington would not support a determined and activist leadership.D. The Philadelphia Negro is a book on blacks in American South.25. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ______.A. many blacks are prepared for leadershipB. Du Bois was in favor of “elite education” for blacksC. Washington and Du Bois had never been friendsD. only the top 10 percent are worth educatingPassage SixQuestions 26-30 are based on the following passage.In Jane Collard’s o pinion, stress is becoming an increasingly common feature of the workplace. Stress is a highly individual reaction, which varies considerably from person to person, and it is difficult for some employees to avoid it. Indeed, stress is regarded by many as part of the organizational culture of our institutions: it comes with the job. Recent figures indicate that time taken off work because of stress has increased by 50 percent since the 1950s. Undoubtedly, changes in working conditions have led to greater pressure at work at all levels. With reductions in staffing, workloads for individual employees have increased. In addition, many employees are left worrying about the security of their jobs.On the stress management courses that she runs, Jane Collard tries to make the trainees realize that stress in itself is not harmful. Everyone needs a certain level of stress to enable them to feel motivated and to perform effectively. A complete absence of stress can be as damaging as overstress, since it can make people lose interest in their work, and even lead to depression. The difficulties occur when the amount of stress rises above a level which is healthy for a particular individual. If this happens, the effects are very obvious and the trainees are taught to recognize the signs. Stress may be expressed physically, for example through headaches and tiredness, or through emotional problems such as depression. A person suffering from stress may also start to behave differently, and can be difficult to deal with.While it may not always be possible to prevent stress, there are a number of ways in which it can be controlled. The first thing that the trainees learn is how to manage their time effectively. This involves, first of all, setting realistic goals for both the short and long terms. Once this framework has been established, tasks are then prioritized on a daily basis. The trainees are also reminded that when they are under pressure the less important items should be left, and they should never hesitate to delegate. Everyone is encouraged to look at ways of reducing “wastedtime”, for example by grouping similar tasks together or dealing with items immediately.Jane feels that one of the most useful features of the course is that it enables trainees to deal with those demands or deadlines that they regard as unreasonable. They are encouraged to avoid being defensive, but at the same time they are advised not to be afraid of saying “no”. They are asked to give reasons only if necessary. The training helps them to foresee difficult situations or unwanted demands, and they learn how to prepare themselves mentally. Everyone is encouraged not to get stuck in negative thought patterns, where stress can feed a circular sense of helplessness. One solution they discuss is to think of a more encouraging alternative for each negative message. They learn, for example, to remind themselves that nothing terrible happens when a demand is refused or a deadline missed. Life goes on.26. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT the cause of stress atwork?A. Working conditions change.B. With reductions in staffing, workloads for individual employees have increased.C. Many employees are afraid of losing their jobs.D. The pay is lower than before.27. The purpose of the stress management courses run by Jane Collard is ______.A. to help people reduce their stressB. to make the trainees realize stress in itself is not harmfulC. to make the trainees realize stress enables people to feel motivated and to perform effectivelyD. to make the trainees realize a complete absence of stress can lead to depression28. “Prioritize” in the third paragraph means “______”.A. arrange in orderB. give attention toC. concentrate onD. regard as29. The most useful feature of the course is that ______.A. it enables trainees to deal with those demands or deadlines that they regard as unreasonableB. it helps people realize stress is not always harmfulC. it helps people work more efficientlyD. it lets people know the relationship between work and stress30. Which of the following can best summarize the passage?A. Stress is not always harmful.B. Stress is becoming an increasingly common feature of the workplace.C. Jane Collard’s research on stress.D. How to prevent stress?III. Discourse Cloze. (10 points, 1 point for each)Directions: The following passage is taken from the textbook. Read the passage and fill in the numbered spaces (there are more suggested answers than necessary). Write your answers on the Answer Sheet.It is difficult to live without a car in modern America. Cities and towns are built around the automobile. 31. ______. Future communities, while still allowing residents to own and operate cars if they so choose, must be centered not around vehicle traffic, but around foot traffic.A common argument against cars is 32. ______, are undesirable. While this is true, the automobile must be removed from urban planning not only due to pollution but also because of its unsustainable nature. Cars—and the type of city that is planned around them — use considerable resources and space that will not be available in the future. 33. ______. Although it is possible for alternative fuel sources to be developed, these will nonetheless require considerable energy use. Furthermore, many resources are consumed in the production of cars. In a world with a constantly increasing population, the manufacture of new cars is not something that can be sustained and provided to all the people of the world. Not only does the production and operation of cars drain society, but the attitude associated with the automobile endangers the future. It is not advantageous for individuals to drive everywhere because, as the population increases, 34. ______ —a drain on both time and resources that can be avoided with proper planning for the future.Unfortunately, current urban plans require 35. ______. Mass transit, for the most part, is hardly available to those outside of downtown areas. Even where it is available, mass transit is often limited in scope and does not provide a preferable alternative to automobiles. The desire to own cars and land accompanies this idea. This property craving is currently satiated via suburban sprawl and large houses. With burgeoning population, the inefficient land use based on the notion of property wealth needs to be discarded. 36. ______. Communities of the future must be designed so that businesses and homes are built next to one another.Of course, this is not possible with current cities. Most businesses are located in undesirable areas of cities. Moreover, suburban sprawl further demands that one uses a car. Suburban areas are spread out over large tracts of land; not only does this use up valuable farmland and natural areas, 37. ______. For the most part, suburban communities function as places to sleep; residents work and play outside of where they live. In order to create sustainable communities for future generations, it is not enough to simply pursue ideas such as mass transit. Although mass transit is an important part of any city plan, it is an alternative that distracts from the immediate problem at hand: 38. ______.Americans have a notion 39. ______. Downtown areas can be modified to lower crime andcreate a more attractive facade.
