III.Reading Comprehension
People who describe themselves as perfectionists may do well on job interviews, but new study findings suggest that they may struggle in marriage and other intimate relationships.
Previous research has shown that certain personality traits can affect a couple's ability to adjust to marriage. In this study,a team of Canadian researchers report that a partner's perfectionism greatly influences their—and their mate’s—adjustment to marriage.
“Thus, perfectionism may be worth considering in the context of marital and family therapy,”write Dr. Paul L. Hewitt of the University of British Columbia in Vancouver and his colleagues.
Their study involved 76 couples who were married or had been living together for no more than four years. Perfectionism was determined by the extent to which the men and women agreed with statements such as, “When I am working on something, I cannot rela x until it is perfect.”
Overall, men and women who identified their partners as perfectionists－meaning they felt that their mates demanded perfection from them—tended to report greater use of sarcasm(讽刺)，nagging(唠叨) and other conflict-driven strategies to cope with their marital problems, study findings indicate.
And when men used these conflict strategies, both they and their wives rated marital adjustment—including their satisfaction with the marriage and the quality of their marital intimacy —lower than did their peers.
“This suggests ‘individuals’personality traits may affect not only their own experience of the marriage, but the experience of their partner as well,”Hewitt and his colleagues write.
What's more, women, but not men, who expected perfection from their mates also seemed unhappy with the relationship, study findings indicate. They reported poorer marital functioning
than did women who did not have such high demands of their partners.
“This finding may suggest that women who expect perfection from their spouses may be especially likely to be dissatisfied, because their spouses will inevitably fail to meet these expectations,”the researchers speculate.
21. What is true about perfectionists?
A．They can perform better in job interviews.
B．They have difficulty in getting married.
C．They are unable to enjoy intimate relationships.
D．They fail to adjust themselves well to marriage.
答案：D
[解析]从第一段中but new study findings suggest that they may struggle in marriage and other intimate relationships.这个句子和第二段中In this study, a team of Canadian researchers report that a partner's perfectionism greatly influences their and their mate's adjustment to marriage. 因此我们可以判断出答案是D。

Ⅳ.Reading Comprehension
Years ago, in a small fishing village in Holland,a young boy taught the world about the rewards of unselfish service.Because the entire village revolved around the fishing industry,a volunteer rescue team was needed in cases of emergency. One night the winds raged, the clouds burst and a gale（大风）force storm capsized a fishing boat at sea.In trouble, the crew sent out the S.O.S. The captain of the rescue rowboat team sounded the alarm and the villagers assembled in the town square overlooking the bay. While the team launched their rowboat and fought their way through the wild waves, the villagers waited restlessly on the beach, holding lanterns to light the way back.
An hour later, the rescue boat reappeared through the fog and the cheering villagers ran to greet them. Falling exhausted on the sand, the volunteers reported that the rescue boat could not hold any more passengers and they had to leave one man behind.Even one more passenger would have surely capsized the rescue boat and all would have been lost.
Frantically, the captain called for another volunteer team to go after the lone survivor. Sixteen-year-old Hans stepped forward.His mother grabbed his arm, pleading, “Please don’t go. Your father died in a shipwreck 10 years ago and your older brother, Paul,has been lost at sea for thre e weeks. Hans, you are all I have left.”
Hans replied, “Mother, this time I have to do my duty. When the call for service comes, we all need to take our turn and do our part.”Hans kissed his mother, joined the team and disappeared into the night.
Another hour passed.The rescue boat moved through the fog with Hans standing up in the bow. Barely able to contain himself, Hans excitedly shouted at the captain, “We found him. Tell my mother it's my older brother, Paul!”
26. It can be inferred from the first paragraph that ______.
A．years ago a small village was almost damaged by a gale force storm
B．a rescue team would be of great importance to fishing industry
C．the fishing boats were always involved in trouble at sea
D．most villagers were volunteers of the rescue team
答案：B
［解析］本题是推理题，根据第一段的句子：Because the entire village revolved around the fishing industry, a volunteer rescue team was needed in cases of emergency. 因为这个村子都围绕着捕鱼业，因此需要一个自愿救援队以防紧急情况。根据这个句子我们可以推出救援队对于捕鱼业非常重要。
27．The world “capsize”in Paragraph 1 means ______.

B．clash
C．upset
D．damage

Even one more passenger would have surely capsized the rescue boat and all would have been lost. 从这个句子得知，救援船不能再装人了，他们只有留下一个人，如果再装一个人的话，整个救援船就会翻过来。因此本题选B, 意思是：由于容量，除了一人以外，救援船救了所有的人。
29．Hans volunteered to join the rescue service because he ______.
A．knew the lone survivor was probably his older brother
B．wanted to do something in memory of his father
C．intended to take up his responsibility for the village

答案：C
［解析］本题是细节题，文章倒数第二段中有一句话：Mother, this time I have to do my duty. When the call for service comes, we all need to take our turn and do our part.”这个句子中“do my duty和take our turn and do our part”的意思是“做我应该做的事，负起责任来”而选项C中，take up his responsibility 负起责任，与do my duty, take our turn 是同义表达，因此选C。
30．It is implied in the passage that ______.

D．the little boy shouldn’t have taken the risk

Basketball is a sport enjoyed by millions of fans in at least 100 countries. It's one of the best-known sports in the world.It all began in 1891.
Dr. James A．Naismith, the father of basketball, was an instructor at a YMCA (基督教青年会)training school. The school trained people to work in YMCAs. Officials at the school were concerned about the low attendance during the winter months. They felt that people didn't attend them because the school did not have a good winter sports program. So they asked Dr. Naismith for help. He came up with a new indoor game.
Naismith studied current games. He found that all the most popular games used a ball. So a ball would be part of his new game, he decided.But kicking the ball or hitting it would be too rough for indoors . So he put two peach baskets up on poles. The players had to try to throw a soccer ball into them, Naismith then made thirteen rules for the game. Twelve of them are still in use today.Just seven years after the game began, professional basketball teams were formed.
And that's how basketball was born.

In the United States nowadays, more than a third of all students are women. Although many women who have received higher education do not spend the whole of their lives following careers for which their education has prepared them, it is accepted that the benefits of a university career are useful.
With so great a proportion of the young people entering higher education there is a problem of maintaining academic standards,and the process can be painful. Half of those who work on higher studies fail to graduate. The number who drop out after one of two years is disturbingly large, though there is evidence that even incomplete university study gives a person better career prospects than none at all. On the other hand, one in five of all who receive bachelor's degrees go on to take higher degrees.

However, of the people who immediately 1 to mind when one thinks of entrepreneurs——Bill Gates, Richard Branson or Oprah Winfrey, for example—few have done more than 2 a speech at a business school. 3 , a recent study by King's College in London has suggested what many intuitively 4 : that entrepreneurship may actually be in the blood—more to do with genes than classroom experience. All of which 5 the question—does an entrepreneur really need a business-school education? Not surprisingly some of the best-known schools in the field have a 6 answer to this: they don't actually profess to create entrepreneurs, 7 they nurture innate ability. Or as Timothy Faley of the entrepreneurial institute at Michigan's Ross School of Business 8 it: “A good idea is not enough. You need to know how to 9 a good idea into a good business.” Schools do this in a number of ways. One is to 10 that faculty are a mix of classic academics and businesspeople with experience of 11 their own successful firms. They can also create “incubators” where students 12 ideas and rub shoulders on a day-to-day basis with the external business world, receiving both advice and hard cash in the form of investment. Arguably such help is now more important than ever. The modern entrepreneur is faced with a more 13 world than when Richard Branson began by selling records out of a phone box. According to Patrice Houdayer, head of one of Europe's best-known entrepreneurship schools, EMIYON in France, new businesses used to move through a 14 series of growth steps—what he terms garage, local, national and international. Now however, 15 the communications revolution, they can leapfrog these stages and go global more or less straightaway—encountering a whole new 16 of problems and challenges. In this 17 Professor Houdayer maintains that the increasingly 18 nature of MBA classes can help the nascent entrepreneur in three ways: by plugging them into an international network of contacts and advisors, by preparing them for the pitfalls and opportunities 19 with dealing across different cultures and by 20 them to the different ways that business is conducted around the globe.

(10 points) Facebook has been 1 with fire and has got its fingers burned, again. On November 29th America’s Federal Trade Commission (FTC) announced that it had reached a 2 settlement with the giant social network over 3 that it had misled people about its use of their personal data. The details of the settlement make clear that Facebook, which 4 over 800m users, betrayed its users’ trust. It is also notable because it appears to be part of a broader 5 by the FTC to craft a new privacy framework to deal with the rapid 6 of social networks in America. The regulator’s findin gs come at a 7 moment for Facebook, which is said to be preparing for an initial public offering next year that could value it at around $100 billion.

Announcing the agreement, the FTC said it had found a number of cases where Facebook had made claims that were “unfair and deceptive, and 12 federal law”. For instance, it 13 personally identifiable information to advertisers, and it failed to keep a promise to make photos and videos on deleted accounts 14 . The settlement does not 15 an admission by Facebook that it has broken the law, but it deeply 16 the company nonetheless.

Among other things, the company will now have to seek consumers’ approval before it changes the way it shares their data. And it has agreed to an independent privacy audit every two years for the next 20 years. There is a clear pattern here. In separate cases over the past couple of years the FTC has insisted that Twitter and Google accept regular 19 audits, too, after each firm was accused of violating its customers’ privacy. The intent seems to be to create a regulatory regime that is tighter than the status quo, 20 one that still gives social networks plenty of room to innovate. 1.

(1) (But this may have less to do with the luring call of academic surroundings than with changing market conditions —a factor that academic critics rarely take into account.) Robert Silverberg, a former president of The Science Fiction Writers of America, is one of the most prolific professionals in a field dominated by people who actually write for a living. (Unlike mystery or Western writers, most science-fiction writers cannot expect to cash in on fat movie sales or TV tie-ins.) (2) (Still in his late thirties, Silverberg has published more than a hundred books, and he is disarmingly frank about the relationship between the quality of genuine prose and the quality of available outlet. )By his own account, he was “an annoyingly verbal young man ” from Brooklyn who picked up his first science-fiction book at the age of ten, started writing seriously at the age of thirteen, and at seventeen nearly gave up in despair over his inability to break into the pulp magazines. (3)( At his parents ’ urging, he enrolled in Columbia University, so that, if worst came to worst, he could always go to the School of Journalism and “get a nice steady job somewhere ”.) During his sophomore year, he sold his first science-fiction story to a Scottish magazine named Nebula. By the end of his junior year, he had sold a novel and twenty more stories. (4) (By the end of his senior year, he was earning two hundred dollars a week writing science fiction, and his parents were reconciled to his pursuit of the literary life. )“I became very cynical very quickly,” he says. First I couldn ’t sell anything, then I could sell everything. The market played to my worst characteristics. An editor of a schlock magazine would call up to tell me he had a ten-thousand-word hole to fill in his next issue. I ’d fill it overnight for a hundred and fifty dollars. I found that rewriting made no difference. (5)( I knew I could not possibly write the kinds of things I admired as a reader —Joyce, Kafka, Mann —so I detached myself from my work.) I was a phenomenon among my friends in college, a published, selling author. But they always asked, “When are you going to do something serious?” —meaning something that wasn ’t science fiction —and I kept telling them, “ When I ’m financially secure.” 答案 1.但是这一点与其说是与学术环境具有诱惑力的召唤有关，还不如说是与变化的市场状况有关——一这是一个学术评论家很少考虑的因素。 2.还不到四十岁，西尔弗伯格就已出版了一百多本书籍，而他对真正散文的质量与应时之作的质量之间的关系十分坦诚，毫无掩饰。 3.在他双亲的敦促下，他报考了哥伦比亚大学，所以即便最糟他也能进入新闻学校，“将来总可以有一份稳定的好工作。” 4.到大四结束的时候，他每星期写科幻小说已经可以赚两百美元了，而他的双亲也接受了他对于文学生涯的追求。 5.我知道我写不出作为读者的我所喜欢的东西，就像乔伊斯、卡夫卡、曼恩的作品，所以我不再那么关注我所写的东西。 总体分析 本文介绍了科幻小说家罗伯特·西尔弗伯格。文章先指出科幻小说的繁荣与市场需求关系紧密，接着通过介绍多产的科幻小说家西尔弗伯格的创作经历予以说明。 本文考查的知识点：后置定语、插入语、比较结构、同位语、上下文中词义的选择，等。
