| 第5、6、7、8、9题： Too often young people get themselves employed quite by accident, not knowing what lies in the way of opportunity for promotion, happiness and security. As a result, they are employed doing jobs that afford them little or no satisfaction. Our school leavers face so much competition that they seldom care what they do as long as they can earn a living . Some stay long at a job and learn to like it ;others quite from one to another looking for something to suit them, the young graduates who leave the university look for jobs that offer a salary up to their expectation. Very few go out into the world knowing exactly what they want and realizing their own abilities. The reason behind all this confusion is that there never has been a proper vocational guidance in our educational institution. Nearly all grope(摸索) in the dark and their chief concern when they look for a job is to ask what salary is like. They never bother to think whether they are suited for the job or, even more important, whether the job suits them, Having a job is more than merely providing yourself and your dependants with daily bread and some money for leisure and entertainment, It sets a pattern of life and, in many ways, determines social status in life, selection of friends, leisure and interest. In choosing a career you should first consider the type of work which will suit your interest .Noting is more pathetic than taking on a job in which you have no interest, for it will not only discourage your desire to succeed in life but also ruin your talents and ultimately make you an emotional wreck (受到严重伤害的人)and a bitter person. 56. The reason why some people are unlikely to succeed in life is that they _____ . A. have ruined their talents B. have taken on an unsuitable job C. think of nothing but their salary D. are not aware of their own potential 57. The difficulty in choosing a suitable job lies mainly in that_____ . A. much competition has to be faced B. many employees have no working experience C. the young people only care about how much they can earn D. schools fail to offer students appropriate vocational guidance 58. Which of the following statements is most important according to the passage? A. Your job must suit your interest. B. Your job must set a pattern of life. C. Your job must offer you a high salary. D. Your job must not ruin your talents. 59.The best title for this passage would be ____. A. What Can A Good Job Offer B. Earning A Living C. Correct Attitude On Job-hunting D. How To Choose A Job 60. The word “pathetic”in paragraph 2 most probably means ____ . A. splendid B. miserable C. disgusted D. touching |

| 第12、13、14、15、16题： Do you find it very difficult and painful to get up in the morning? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle. During the hours when your labor through your work you may say that you’re “hot”. That’s true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues as: “Get up, Peter! You’ll be late for work again!” The possible explanation to the trouble is that Peter is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has. You can’t change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit if better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning, but you have an important to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won’t change your cycle, but you’ll get up steam and work better at your low point. Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours. 51. If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably ________. A、 he is a lazy person. B、 he refuses to follow his own energy cycle. C、 he is not sure when his energy is low. D、 he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening. 52. Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage? [AJ Unawareness of energy cycles. B、 Familiar monologues. C、A change in a family member’s energy cycle. D、 Attempts to control the energy cycle of other family members. 53. If one wants to work efficiently at his low point in the morning, he should __________. A、change his energy cycle B、 overcome his laziness C、get up earlier than usual D、 go to bed earlier 54. You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will __________. A、 help to keep your energy for the day’s work. B、 help you to control your temper early in the day C、 enable you to concentrate on your routine work D、 keep your energy your energy cycle under control all day 55. Which of the following statements is NOT true? A、 Getting off to work with a minimum effort helps save one’s energy. B、 Dr. Kletman explains why people reach their peaks at different hours of day. C、 Habit helps a person adapt to his own energy cycle. D、 Children have energy cycles, too. |

| 第19、20、21、22、23题：It wasn’t an easy decision, but we’ve been asking for a decent wage for years. Now at last people are beginning to listen to us. We’re only asking for a 25 percent increase in our wages. 250 dollars a week. That’s all. It’s pity so many people have to be inconvenienced by out strike. But please don’t blame us. Blame the government for refusing our claim. Mr. Tom Brown: It’s totally unreasonable to demand so much money when we are trying desperately to control inflation. If wages go up, so do prices. If we gave in to the electricity workers, all the other unions would want more, with the inevitable result that the crisis would become uncontrollable. What we’re trying to impress upon everybody is that inflation hurts everybody, especially the poor people. We offer the electricity workers a 10 percent increase. And that’s already too much. My stand at this meeting will be to persuade the Union to see reason. Mr. Bob Davis: Everybody will be hurt by this strike, including the electricity workers themselves. The economy will be destroyed and many people will lose their jobs. Already people are saying that the big unions have too much power and shouldn’t be allowed to strike. O course the electricity want to get more money. Don’t we all? Mr. Baker: My opinion is “Get the Army in”. All the power stations should be managed by the army. The strikers should be thrown into prison. That’s what this country needs. Why must we all suffer just because a few men are greedy? If they don’t like their jobs, nobody ‘s forcing them to work. They should try and live on 50 dollars a week like I have to. Perhaps they’d keep their mouths shut then. Miss Slater: Let’s face it. It’s neither here nor there. The electricity workers are in a strong position. Perhaps we can’t do anything bout it. What I say is: let them have their 250 dollars so we can return to work. I mean, the government wastes the taxpayers’ money all the time on trivial things. How can anyone say 250 dollars is “too much”? Pop singers get more. Nurses get less. It’s just one of those things. Now match each of the persons (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements 61. Mr. Mike Smith 62. Mr. Tom Brown 63.Mr. Bob David 64.Mrs. baker 65. Miss Slater [A] A % increase is already too much, and I’m here to persuade the Union to see reason. [B] I hope that strikes should be banned in all sectors relating to the nation’s security and stability. [C] We will never go back to work until our goals are achieved. [D] I think that the government should give in to the electricity worker’s demands. [E] I strongly suggest that all the power stations should be run by the army and that the strikers should be put into prison. [F] I must take you clear that strikes will destroy the economy and that many people will lose their jobs. [G] We are forced to call a strike because the government rejected our wage claim. |
