并在并在 答题卡上将该选项标号涂黑 答题卡上将该选项标号涂黑 A Andy rode slowly on his way to school day dreaming about the fishing trip that his father had promised him He was so busy dreaming about all the fish he would catch that he was unaware of everything else around him He rode along until a strange sound drew him to the present He came to a stop and looked curiously up to the heavens What he saw shocked and terrified him A huge swarm of bees filled the sky like a black cloud and the buzzing mass seemed to be heading angrily towards him With no time to waste Andy sped off in the opposite direction riding furiously but without knowing how to escape the swarm With a rapidly beating heart and his legs pumping furiously he sped down the rough road As the bees came closer his panic increased Andy knew that he was sensitive to bee stings 蜇 The last sting had landed him in hospital and that was only one bee sting He had been forced to stay in bed for two whole days Suddenly his father s words came to him When you are in a tight situation don t panic Use your brain and think your way out of it On a nearby hill he could see smoke waving slowly skywards from the chimney of the Nelson family home Bees don t like smoke he thought They couldn t get into the house Andy raced towards the Nelson house but the bees were gaining ground Andy knew he could not reach the house in time He estimated that the bees would catch up with him soon Suddenly out of the corner of his eyes he spotted a small dam used by Mr Nelson to irrigate his vegetable garden Off his bike and into the cool water he dived disappearing below the surface and away from the savage insects After holding his breath for as long as he could Andy came up for air and noticed the bees had gone Dragging himself out of the dam he struggled up the hilly slope and rang the doorbell Mrs Nelson took him inside and rang his mother You ll really need that fishing break to help you recover laughed his mother with relief Thank goodness you didn t panic But Andy did not hear her He was dreaming once again of the fish he would catch tomorrow 41 Why did Andy fail to notice the swarm of bees earlier A He was riding to school B He was lost in the thought of the fishing trip C He was going fishing with his father D He was listening to a strange sound 42 Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the swarm of bees in the passage A They crowded like a black cloud B They shocked and terrified Andy C They tried to attack Andy in a mass D They made Andy stay in hospital for two days 43 How did Andy avoid the bees in the end A He asked Mr Nelson for help B He hid himself under the water C He rushed into the Nelson house D He rode off in the opposite direction 44 Which of the following can best describe Andy s escape from the bees A No pains no gains B Once bitten twice shy C Where there is a will there is a way D In time of danger one s mind works fast B So there are four of them in this car heading north from Coleman in the heart of Texas to the town of Abilene 阿比林 some 53 miles away It is a hot day and the drive is dusty and boring Someone has had the bright idea to interrupt a nice family game of dominoes 多米诺 to go on a four hour round trip to eat at a really not very good restaurant When they are back home again one family member admits that she hasn t enjoyed herself all that much One by one they all confess that they would rather have stayed at home I only went along with it because I thought the rest of you wanted to go says everyone No one wanted to go to Abilene It had just happened This story was first told by Professor Jerry Harvey in an article published in 1974 called The Abilene Paradox 悖论 and other meditations on management It offers a wonderful insight into the way that decisions can sometimes just emerge without ever being consciously made Whether they mean to or not groups exert a pressure to conform 顺从 A senior management team can find itself a long way down the track to a bad decision without realizing that the idea has very little support around the table Close knit 组织严密的 teams are easily influenced by the pull of groupthink The late Professor Janis suggested several ways in which teams can avoid it Two key steps are to invite experts from outside into meetings and to appoint at least one person to the role of devil s advocate a role that should be played by different people in different meetings 45 The four family members have decided to go on a four hour round trip to the town of Abilene because A they really like the restaurant they are going to B they are tired of the game they have been playing C they have not been to Abilene for a long time D everyone thinks all the other family members want to go 46 When they are back home they find that A they have not really trusted each other B they have all enjoyed the trip except one family member C they would have had a better time if they had stayed at home D they have all had a good time although none of them wanted to go 47 A senior management team can make a bad decision because A the idea has the support of everyone around the table B everyone on the team is too tired to think clearly C the group puts a pressure to conform D they understand what each member means 48 According to Professor Janis at least one person should be appointed to the role of devil s advocate at each meeting so that A the pull of groupthink can be avoided B each member will play a different role C team members can agree with each other more easily D experts from the outside can be invited into meetings C One of the biggest challenges facing students and their families is what career they should enter and what is the best path for them to take I was talking to someone the other day who told me he first studied accounting because that was what everyone was studying several years ago It was and some say still is a reliable career However then he told me that he was now studying financial investment because again that s what everyone was studying now and it was needed if he wanted to get ahead in the company And I asked him what he was actually interested in and then well the conversation kind of died So I asked why he had bothered studying accounting in the first place and he explained that it was his parents idea Finally I asked what his passion was and he wasn t too sure because he never thought about it And so it is lifelong learning or the continual need to make ourselves marketable in a world that appears to be more competitive as time goes by Is there a secret to help us so we can live a life of quality Regardless or not at this stage in world history with increasing connection between people ideas and markets the ability to match the needs and desires of the day with your own skills and products is a tremendous and vigorous challenge Many have gone into English or foreign language study because it was encouraged at the time when China was entering the WTO Or maybe they were interested in international affairs or working abroad Upon graduation they then faced the reality that there was a limit to how many jobs they could apply for Perhaps some then studied further doing courses for work such as a tour guide or translator interpreter Many may have decided that going into teaching was more rewarding or stable Others would have gone into media or advertising or conference management and acquired new skills along the way This constant quest to remain ahead of the game makes many upset and exhausted Some futurists who examine technology have even predicted that people should expect to change careers six or seven times during their lifetime So if you are concerned by the nature of change why not start spending more time looking at the most modern leading economies institutions and their publications A whole lot of changes are starting to happen yet there is no reason why this cannot be enjoyable exciting and also rewarding Our attitude approach and willingness to continually learn and update our skills must remain strong My tip is to track the work that our government is setting about to achieve In particular look at the people who have been chosen as the key support team and try to read behind the light surface news and look at their career development and examine the recent reports that they are now recommending the government move towards Key industry development new ways of dealing with information and new demands are creating opportunities for the students and workers of tomorrow if we stay prepared 49 Who is this article intended for A Government administrators B Students planning their careers C Foreign language learners D Professors designing courses 50 The case of the student who first studied accounting and then financial investment shows A many people decide their majors without knowing their own interest B parents decisions are always blind and will result in a life of low quality C accounting and financial investment are necessary to ensure a reliable career D people never have a chance to think about their own interest in choosing career 51 In the writer s opinion to make yourself competitive in the changing world today is A exhausting B disappointing C unbelievable D necessary 52 According to the writer lifetime learning can be exciting if A we are prepared for the changes B we know who President has on his support team C we read the publications of advanced institutions D we learn English or some other foreign languages 53 Whoever has been chosen as the key support team of the government A shows the government s interest in new information B enables you to find out how hard working these people are C indicates the direction the economy is developing D reveals the government encourages creative young people D It seems that there is no middle ground when it comes to cats People either love them or hate them These feelings are not new either All through history cats have been worshiped or hated A study of ancient writings and evidence found in tombs indicates that for the past 5 000 years cats have been kept as pets in China Arabia Egypt and India However this isn t very long compared to dogs which have been domesticated for 50 000 years Still while the period in which cats have been domesticated may be quite short it has definitely had its high and low points Cats were at their highest position of domesticated life in ancient Egypt There were more cats living in Egypt during the time of the pharaohs than in any other place in the world since that time This high number of cats was probably due to the laws protecting them Cats were associated with the moon goddess Bast so the Egyptians worshiped them as holy animals If anyone was caught killing a cat the person could be put to death Families in Egypt also mourned the death of a cat and had the body of the dead cat wrapped in cloth before it was finally laid to rest This respect for cats carried over to the Roman Empire where cats were the only animals allowed into temples This fact was probably due to the ability of cats to keep the temples free of mice and rats With the coming of the Dark Ages in Europe the place of cats in society took a turn for the Empire Christians began to associate cats with pegan 异教徒 beliefs Cats had a reputation as helpers of witches When a person was accused of being a witch a cat would often be put on trial with the person The cat would be tortured 拷打 to try and make the person tell the truth and usually the cat and the person would end up being burned in a bonfire or drowned Bonfires of collected cats were not uncommon during this time The days of hunting witches have ended but other myths about cats still hold out For a while people in some places used to bury live cats under new buildings for good luck As well many people today continue to believe that black cats bring bad luck If a black cat walks in front of a person that person must take extra care in the near future to watch out for dangerous situations Regardless of superstition 迷信 cats remain a popular pet today Some cat experts b
