For each of them, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Questions 11-15 are based on the following passage:Not enough American students want to be engineers,mathematicians, or scientists. The Obama administration wants to change that. They are spending money to do it. The government will invest three billion dollars in the education of young Americans in science, technology, engineering, and math. The four areas together are known as STEM. Many jobs in the STEM fields will open in the coming years. The U.S. government's investment aims to increase the number of Americans who can take those jobs.Yet girls appear far less interested in STEM subjects than boys. Only 25% of STEM students are girls. Camsie McAdams from the U.S. Education Department says girls simply do not feel welcomed in STEM subjects. She says young women look at industries such as engineering and computer science and see most of the leaders are men. “We, as women, want to have people that look like us, people that we can relate to. A lot of times what keeps people from entering the field, even when they get the degree, is because they don‟t feel welcomed.”Engineer Debbie Sterling invented for girls a construction toy named “Goldie Blox”. She hopes Goldie Blox will help girls develop spatial skills, which help engineers and builders to think about objects in three dimensions(维度））.To interest girls, Sterling created the character “Goldie.” Goldie does not care about beauty or clothes. Goldie tells stories, solves difficult problems and creates imaginary worlds.11.

Goldie has displayed a beautiful imaginary worldB. Goldie has a character that youngsters likeC. Goldie Blox has made girls interested in spatial skillsD. spatial skills are highly demanded in STEM jobs参考答案：BQuestions 16-20 are based on the following passage:Early last month, Bill Gates released a video of a venture funded by the Gates Foundation: the Omniprocessor, a Seattle-based processing plant that bums sewage (污水) to make clean drinking water. In the video, Gates raises a glass of water to his lips. Just five minutes ago, he explains, that water was human waste. Gates takes a sip (小口呷）). “It‟s water, ‟‟ he says. “Having studied the engineering behind it, I would happily drink it every day. It‟s that safe.”According to the Foundation^ estimates, at least two billion people lack access to proper sanitation (公共卫生);a report warned that, within the next decade, “many countries will experience water problems—shortages, poor water quality, or floods—that will risk instability and state failure.” The Omniprocessor‟s approach seems to be the perfect solution. It offers clean drinking water where access is lacking. In fact, the technology has been around for years, and its effectiveness is an established fact So why hasn‟t it been widely adopted yet?That's precisely the question that Paul Rozin tackled in a series of studies spanning over 2,000 American adults and several hundred college students. The results were published in the journal Judgment and Decision Making.“The problem isn't making the recycled water but getting people to drink it,” Rozin said. “And it‟s a problem that isn‟t going to be solved by engineers. It will be solved by psychologists.”16. The video shows that Bill Gates is ______.A. explaining the water recycling processB. making water out of sewageC. drinking clean water made from sewageD. risking drinking polluted water参考答案：A17. The video seems intended to ______.A. build public confidence in recycled waterB. market the new sewage burning technologyC. persuade people to save waterD. improve Bill Gates, public image参考答案：A18.

This passage is mainly about ______.A. the importance of psychologyB. the future of the OmniprocessorC. the ventures of Gates FoundationD. the acceptance of recycled water参考答案：DQuestions 21-25 are based on the following passage:In his book Hamlet's Blackberry. William Powers describes a scene that shouldstrike many as familiar. “Here I was in New York, the most fantastic city in the world— so much to look at, to see and hear, but everybody around me was staring closely at some digital device,” he said. “These small devices are wonderful, and they do fantastic stuff for us all day long, but to miss out on your surroundings all the time, which I think we increasingly do—I really question that.”Powers certainly doesn't condemn the way we use these devices. He does, however, recognize the downside of constantly being flooded with new information—or what he calls the “over-connectedness.” Among th e things that suffer from our overconnectedness, Powers says, are relationships. ”It's not really connectedness. It's sort of the opposite of connectedness.”How are we supposed to cope with the problem? Powers has one suggestion: just disconnect. His family, for example, takes an “Internet Sabbath” every weekend. “We turn off the household modem, and we don‟t have smart phones. We can‟t do Web surfing,” he explains.According to Powers, the positive effects of these technology breaks are felt long after the weekends are over. “Even when we're connected, we can feel the benefits of having been disconnected a couple of days ago,” he says. “It's about that simple word, …balance‟.”Not that he thinks unplugging your modem is necessarily easy. ”It's really har d to pull away. You have to know why you're doing it, and really believe,” he says.21. According to Paragraph 1, William Powers ______.A. has a passion for digital devicesB. dislikes New York cityC.writes about a familiar sceneD. is a well-known writer参考答案：C22.The word “downside”（Para. 2) is closest in meaning to “ ______.”A.shortcomingB. confusionC.effectD. challenge参考答案：A23.During the “Internet Sabbath”, the Powers family ______.A. go out for a surfB. are free from the Internet useC. play games on the InternetD. don‟t make phone calls参考答案：B24.According to Powers, technology breaks ______.A. allow people to live a simple lifeB. seem to make weekends longerC. make people‟s life better balanced .D. have a short positive effect参考答案：C25. The passage is most likely a ______.A. social surveyB. book reviewC. technical reportD. news item参考答案：BQuestions 26-30 are based on the following chart:Best Value For Vacations in August (Flights + Hotel)26.Where will you go if you want to enjoy a 3-week vacation?A.

Choose the correct word in one of the following three ways: according to the context, by using the correct form of the given word, or by using the given letter(s) of the word.Is paragliding more dangerous than parachuting? There are three elements that support the argument that through46.________ of them is safe, one is far less dangerous than the other. Those three elements are training, preparation, and skill level.Training for the first parachute jump is a 47.rel ________ simple process. Commonly a morning of instruction and practice can result 48.________ a person‟s first jump the same afternoon. In contrast, paragliding training is much more involved, taking anywhere from one to three months before the first flight occurs. It is 49.________ (legal) to fly without a license, and various competence levels must be passed to be able to move from soaring to something more involved such as cross-country flying.Preparation for a parachute jump is minimal 50.________ best. Most jumpers have their chutes packed for them, so all they have to do is climb into the plane. Some pack their own chutes, but still, this is minor. In paragliding the pilot lays out their canopy on the ground, checks it and the lines, and then must wait for the right wind conditions before launching. The fact that the chute and lines can be seen makes a 51.tre________ difference as any problems can be seen before launch, something that is impossible with parachuting. This is a very important difference because almost all parachuting 52. acc________ are the result of equipment failure. Jumpers rely almost totally on their equipment and not their skill, the reverse of the paragliding pilot.It is this difference in skill levels that makes paragliding the safer option. The 53. ________ (great) the skill the pilot develops, the less chance they might get into a dangerous situation when flying. Also, if they do get into a dangerous situation, it is far more likely that they will be able to escape. With parachuting it is the 54. opp ________. Ultimately skill does not matter. Even the most experienced jumper will be 55. ________ (able) to do anything in the event of major equipment failure. Like Russian roulette, the question is how many times a person jumps before statisticscatch up with them.Part IV Reading Comprehension (35 marks)Section A (5 marks) Questions 56-60 are based on the following passage.Hallward Library supports the learning, teaching and research needs of the Faculty of Arts and the Faculty of Social Sciences.

It‟s hard to pin down why they provoke such violent emotion; once it was simply because they lied—you don‟t turn up for the wee kly Wednesday ferry to find thatactually it goes on Tuesdays. Nowadays they are carefully researched, the information is generally true, and the maps are accurate.(61) ______ Arrive in a place and out comes the book: Places to Stay, Things to See, Getting Around, Places to Eat— all of which is undeniably useful.

It‟s not entirely fair to blame only Tony.Section C (10marks) Questions 66-70 are based on the following passage.Situated at the heart of Beijing, the Palace Museum is approached through the Gate of Heavenly Peace (Tian‟an men). Because of its centrality as well as restricted access, the palace was called the Forbidden City, It was built from 1406 to 1420 by the third emperor of the Ming dynasty, the Yongle Emperor who, upon usurping the throne, determined to move his capital northward from Nanjing to Beijing. The Ming dynasty fell to the Manchu Qing in 1644 and in 1911 the Qing dynasty wasoverthrown by the republican revolutionaries. During nearly six hundred years, twenty-four emperors lived in and ruled from this palace.The Forbidden City is surrounded by 10-metre-high walls and a 52-meter-wide moat. Measuring 961 meters from north to south and 753 meters from east to west, it covers an area of 1110000square meters. Each of the four sides is pierced by a gate: the Meridian Gate (Wu men) on the south, the Gate of Divine Prowess(Shenwu men) on the north, the Eastern and Western Prosperity Gates (Donghua men and Xihua men).Once inside, visitors will see a succession of halls and palaces spreading out on either side of an invisible central axis. The buildings‟ glowing yellow roofs levitating above vermilion walls is a magnificent sight. The painted ridges and carved beams all contribute to the sumptuous effect.Known as the Outer Court, the southern portion of the Forbidden City centers on three main halls -- Hall of Supreme Harmony (Taihedian), Hall of Central Harmony (Zhonghedian),and Hall of Preserving Harmony (Baohedian). It was here in the Outer Court that the emperor held court and conducted grand audiences. Mirroring this arrangement is the Inner Court comprising the northern portion of the Forbidden City. The Inner Court is comprised of not only the residences of the emperor and his consorts but also venues for religious rituals and administrative activities. In total, the buildings of the two courts account for an area of some 163000 square meters. These were precisely designed in accordance with a code of architectural hierarchy, which designated specific features to reflect the paramount authority and status of the emperor. No ordinary mortal would have been allowed or would even have dared to come within close proximity to these buildings.The Forbidden City, the culmination of the two-thousand-year development of classical Chinese and East Asian architecture, has been influential in the subsequent development of Chinese architecture, as well as providing inspiration for many artistic works.Questions 66-7066. Why was the Palace given the name as “The Forbidden City”?67. Who was the first emperor that lived in the Palace?68. How long is the Forbidden City?69. What is the total area of the Forbidden City?70. What is the main function of the Inner Court of the Forbidden City?Section D (10 marks) Questions 71-75 are based on the following passage.Ancient Greeks thought the brain wasn‟t the basis for intellect. It was the home for the soul. They believed that the process of thinking happened somewhere near lungs. The brain wasn‟t seen as an organ of intellect and thought until the 17th and 18th centuries. In order to measure intelligence, the IQ test, or the intelligence quotient test, was invented. The Standford-Binet Intelligence Scale was created in Paris in the early 1900s. The scale was used in Alfred Binet‟s efforts to educate children with learning difficulties. Those with scores less than their respective ages were considered mentally challenged. The MENSA IQ test has also become popular. A person who scores 150 or higher on this test is considered to have exceptional intelligence. More than 10,000 people take the test every year.Some see IQ tests as an assessment of an individual‟s probl em-solving skills, rather than general intelligence. For example, an individual may have high analytical intelligence that is genetic. This widely held view promoted many prejudiced ideas. Since the IQ test was created from the point of view of Europeans, people of other races scored comparatively lower.Research suggests that intelligence depends on culture and class. Tests given by the U.S. military showed that blacks scored lower than whites. The difference in scores was attributed to class and education levels, not genetic factors. Black children adopted into wealthier families scored significantly higher than low-income blacks. Studies have shown that children who grow in apositive learning environment score higher on the IQ tests. Having good nutrition can also affect the scores.A new type of IQ test has surfaced later on. It's called the EI test, or the emotional intelligence test. The test gauges the individual‟s ability to manage his or her emotions. Developed by Daniel Goleman, the test also measures how much self-awareness an individual has. Knowledge and emotional intelligence are different, experts say. A person with high emotional intelligence is able to better understand the feelings of others. Thus, they are better maintaining various relationships. Low emotional intelligence can affect intelligence. Studies have shown that emotional intelligence is connected with memory and concentration. Individuals with low emotional intelligence have more aggressiveness and less self-control. These factors can dramatically reduce IQ scores by as much as 25 percent.Questions 71-75 Complete the summary with only one word for each blank from the passage, changing the form where necessary.Since the early 1900s, scientists have attempted to gauge the intelligence of people. Alfred Binet‟s intelligence scale and the MENS IQ test have been used frequently over the past centuries in 71.________ intelligence. Some studies suggest that the tests aren‟t necessarily a flawless benchmark, arguing that it 72._______ on ly a person‟s problem-solving skills. Others think that intelligence is 73._______ and it varies among races. New findings point to culture, class, education levels and environment as more important intelligence predictors 74._______ genetics. A new test t hat measures the emotional intelligence, the ability to monitor one‟s emotions, has emerged. Recent findings reveal that one‟s emotional intelligence can affect one‟s IQ test 75._______.Part V Translation (15 marks)Section A (5 marks) Translate the following paragraph into Chinese.76. Opera is an art that brings music, singing, and drama together on stage. The first operas were performed in Italy in the early 1600s. These operas were based on ancient Greek myths and accompanied by simple melodies. The early composers of opera called their work “drama through music” because they felt the music was the key to expressing an idea or emotion. Although the first operas were performed for the aristocracy, by the 1700s many operas were being performed for the public.Section B (10 marks) Translate the following sentences into English by using the hints given in brackets.77. 他在学校的表现还没有达到他父母的期望。

Choose the correct word in one of the following three ways: according to the context, by using the correct form of the given word, or by using the given letter(s) of the word.Is paragliding more dangerous than parachuting？There are three elements that support the argument that through46.________ of them is safe, one is far less dangerous than the other. Those three elements are training, preparation, and skill level.Training for the first parachute jump is a 47.rel ________ simple process. Commonly a morning of instruction and practice can result 48.________ a person’s first jump the same afternoon. In contrast, paragliding training is much more involved, taking anywhere from one to three months before the first flight occurs. It is 49.________ (legal) to fly without a license, and various competence levels must be passed to be able to move from soaring to something more involved such as cross-country flying.Preparation for a parachute jump is minimal 50.________ best. Most jumpers have their chutes packed for them, so all they have to do is climb into the plane. Some pack their own chutes, but still, this is minor. In paragliding the pilot lays out their canopy on the ground, checks it and the lines, and then must wait for the right wind conditions before launching. The fact that the chute and lines can be seen makes a 51.tre________ difference as any problems can be seen before launch, something thatis impossible with parachuting. This is a very important difference because almost all parachuting 52. acc________ are the result of equipment failure. Jumpers rely almost totally on their equipment and not their skill, the reverse of the paragliding pilot.It is this difference in skill levels that makes paragliding the safer option. The 53. ________ (great) the skill the pilot develops, the less chance they might get into a dangerous situation when flying. Also, if they do get into a dangerous situation, it is far more likely that they will be able to escape. With parachuting it is the 54. opp ________. Ultimately skill does not matter. Even the most experienced jumper will be 55. ________ (able) to do anything in the event of major equipment failure. Like Russian roulette, the question is how many times a person jumps before statistics catch up with them.Part IV Reading Comprehension (35 marks)Section A (5 marks) Questions 56-60 are based on the following passage.Hallward Library supports the learning, teaching and research needs of the Faculty of Arts and the Faculty of Social Sciences.

It’s hard to pin down why they provoke such violent emotion; once it was simply because they lied—you don’t turn up for the weekly Wednesday ferry to find that actually it goes on Tuesdays. Nowadays they are carefully researched, the information is generally true, and the maps are accurate.(61) ______ Arrive in a place and out comes the book: Places to Stay, Things to See, Getting Around, Places to Eat—all of which is undeniably useful. But you end up living a life dictated by Wheeler, and that life might not be right for you. On top of that, everyone else has got one too, so instead of being the independent traveller you thought you were, you end up being just another tourist.(62) ______ His wife Maureen, who runs the company with him, is equally to blame. It all started in 1972 when, bored with Britain, they see off for Australia. They arrived in Sydney three months later with 27 cents between them.

They put the pages together and took it around the local bookshops and one of the bookshops sold thousands of copies.(63) ______Their 200-odd guidebooks cover nearly everywhere and there are phrasebooks, atlases, walking guides. They sell more than three million books a year and employ around 200 people. The Lonely Planet website is visited a million times a day and the Wheelers have replaced the van with a red Ferrari.(64) ______ ‘My children have travelled all over the world so they’re aware of a lot of things,’ says Maureen and Tony agrees. ‘It helps you grow up a lot, jus t knowing how other people live and what happens in their countries. Secondly, being on your own, having to make your way from one place to the next and work out how you do that, gives you a self-sufficiency that I think is very important.’(65) ______Ther e are people who say that by encouraging people to go places they’re destroying them－an accusation they both deny, claiming that people would go there anyway.

Because of its centrality as well as restricted access, the palace was called the Forbidden City, It was built from 1406 to 1420 by the third emperor of the Ming dynasty, the Yongle Emperor who, upon usurping the throne, determined to move his capital northward from Nanjing to Beijing. The Ming dynasty fell to the Manchu Qing in 1644 and in 1911 the Qing dynasty wasoverthrown by the republican revolutionaries. During nearly six hundred years, twenty-four emperors lived in and ruled from this palace.The Forbidden City is surrounded by 10-metre-high walls and a 52-meter-wide moat. Measuring 961 meters from north to south and 753 meters from east to west, it covers an area of 1110000 square meters. Each of the four sides is pierced by a gate: the Meridian Gate (Wu men) on the south, the Gate of Divine Prowess(Shenwu men) on the north, the Eastern and Western Prosperity Gates (Donghua men and Xihua men).Once inside, visitors will see a succession of halls and palaces spreading out on either side of an invisible central axis. The buildings’ glowing yellow roofs levitating above vermilion walls is a magnif icent sight. The painted ridges and carved beams all contribute to the sumptuous effect.Known as the Outer Court, the southern portion of the Forbidden City centers on three main halls -- Hall of Supreme Harmony (Taihedian)，Hall of Central Harmony (Zhonghedian),and Hall of Preserving Harmony (Baohedian). It was here in the Outer Court that the emperor held court and conducted grand audiences. Mirroring this arrangement is the Inner Court comprising the northern portion of the Forbidden City. The Inner Court is comprised of not only the residences of the emperor and his consorts but also venues for religious rituals and administrative activities.In total, the buildings of the two courts account for an area of some 163000 square meters. These were precisely designed in accordance with a code of architectural hierarchy, which designated specific features to reflect the paramount authority and status of the emperor. No ordinary mortal would have been allowed or would even have dared to come within close proximityto these buildings.The Forbidden City, the culmination of the two-thousand-year development of classical Chinese and East Asian architecture, has been influential in the subsequent development of Chinese architecture, as well as providing inspiration for many artistic works.Questions 66-7066. Why was the Palace given the name as “The Forbidden City”?67. Who was the first emperor that lived in the Palace?68. How long is the Forbidden City?69. What is the total area of the Forbidden City?70. What is the main function of the Inner Court of the Forbidden City?Section D (10 marks) Questions 71-75 are based on the following passage.Ancient Greeks thought the brain wasn’t the basis for intellect. It was the home for the soul. They believed that the process of thinking happened somewhere near lungs. The brain wasn’t seen as an organ of intellect and thought until the 17th and 18th centuries. In order to measure intelligence, the IQ test, or the intelligence quotient test, was invented. The Standford-Binet Intelligence Scale was created in Paris in the early 1900s. The scale was used in Alfred Binet’s efforts to educate children with learning difficulties. Those with scores less than their respective ages were considered mentally challenged. The MENSA IQ test has also become popular. A person who scores 150 or higher on this test is considered to have exceptional intelligence. More than 10,000 people take the test every year.Some see IQ tests as an assessment of an individu al’s problem-solving skills, rather than general intelligence. For example, an individual may have high analytical intelligence that is genetic. This widely held view promoted many prejudiced ideas. Since the IQ test was created from the point of view of Europeans, people of other races scored comparatively lower. Research suggests that intelligence depends on culture and class. Tests given by the U.S. military showed that blacks scored lower than whites. The difference in scores was attributed to class and education levels, not genetic factors. Black children adopted into wealthier families scored significantly higher than low-income blacks. Studies have shown that children who grow in a positive learning environment score higher on the IQ tests. Having good nutrition can also affect the scores.A new type of IQ test has surfaced later on. It's called the EI test, or the emotional intelligence test. The test gauges the individual’s ability to manage his or her emotions. Developed by Daniel Goleman, the test also measures how much self-awareness an individual has. Knowledge and emotional intelligence are different, experts say. A person with high emotional intelligence is able to better understand the feelings of others. Thus, they are better maintaining various relationships. Low emotional intelligence can affect intelligence. Studies have shown that emotional intelligence is connected with memory and concentration. Individuals with low emotional intelligence have more aggressiveness and less self-control. These factors can dramatically reduce IQ scores by as much as 25 percent.Questions 71-75 Complete the summary with only one word for each blank from the passage, changing the form where necessary.Since the early 1900s, scientists have attempted to gauge the intelligence of people. Alfred Binet’s intelligence scale and the MENS IQ test have been used frequently over the past centuries in 71.________ intelligence. Some studies suggest that the tests aren’t necessarily a flawless benchmark, arguing that it 72._______ only a person’s problem-solving skills. Others think that intelligence is 73._______ and it varies among races. New findings point to culture, class, education levels and environment as more important intelligence predictors 74._______ genetics. A new test that measures the emotional intelligence, the ability to monitor one’s emotions, has emerged. Recent findings reveal that one’s emotional intelligence can affect one’s IQ test 75._______.Part V Translation (15 marks)Section A (5 marks) Translate the following paragraph into Chinese.76. Opera is an art that brings music, singing, and drama together on stage. The first operas were performed in Italy in the early 1600s. These operas were based on ancient Greek myths and accompanied by simple melodies. The early composers of opera called their work “drama through music” because they felt the music was the key to expressing an idea or emotion. Although the first operas were performed for the aristocracy, by the 1700s many operas were being performed for the public.Section B (10 marks) Translate the following sentences into English by using the hints given in brackets.77. 他在学校的表现还没有达到他父母的期望。

2015在职GCT英语阅读理解练习及答案(1)

2015在职GCT英语阅读理解练习及答案(1)One silly question I simply cannot tolerate is “How do you feel?” Usually the question is asked of a man in action—a man walking along the street, or busily working at his desk. So what do you expect him to say? He′ll probably say, “Fine,I ′m all right.” But you have put a bug a his ear-maybe now he is not sure. If you are his good friend, you may have seen something on his face, or in his walk, that he overlooked that morning. It makes him worrying a little. He looks in a mirror to see if everything is all right, while you go merrily on your way asking someone else, “How do you feel?”Every question has its time and place. It′s perfectly acceptable, for instance, to ask “How do you feel?” if you are visiting a close friend in th e hospital. But if the fellow is walking on both legs, hurrying to take a train or sitting at his desk working, it′s no time to ask him that silly question.When George Bernard Shaw, the famous British writer of plays was in his eighties, someone asked h im, “How do you feel?” Shaw put him in his place. “When you reach my age,” he said, “either you feel all right or you are dead.”1. According to the writer, greetings, such as “How do you feel?” .A. show one′s consideration for othersB. are a good way to make friendsC. are proper to ask a man in actionD. generally make one feel uneasy2. The question “How do you feel?” seems to be correct and suitable when asked of .A. a friend who is illB. a person who has lost a close friendC. a stranger who looks somewhat worriedD. a man who is working at his desk3. George Bernard Shaw′s reply in this passage shows his .A. sillinessB. clevernessC. carelessnessD. politeness4. “You have put a bug in his ear” means that you have .A. made him laughB. shown concern for himC. made fun of himD. given him some kind of warnning5. This passage can be entitled .A. A Silly QuestionB. Don′t Trouble a Busy ManC. What Are Good GreetingsD. George Bernard Shaw′s Re ply参考答案：D A B D A。
