5.Celebrities(名人) are more in love with themselves than the average person,according to a new study.
In case anyone needed proof,a new study supports the widely held perception:Famous people are more narcissistic(自我陶醉的),which means they are more in love with themselves than the average person is.That is the conclusion drawn by Drew Pinsky and S.Mark Young of the University of Southern California,whose study of 200celebrities will appear in the Journal Of Research in Personality.
It is not the entertainment industry that turns stars into narcissists,the study found.Rather,it suggests,the self-adoring(自恋的)people seek jobs in show business.The study,whose subjects were a11celebrities from Pinsky's‘Loveline'radio show,found that reality TV stars were the most narcissistic of all celebrities.Female stars were also more likely than the male stars to exhibit narcissistic characteristics.
It's"common sense"that celebrities are narcissists,said Jeremy Ritzlin,a longtime Hollywood psychologist who has not seen the study."Everyone knows famous people are really in love with themselves,"he said."So it would be natural for narcissists to be attracted toward the stage and spotlight,where other people will also think highly of them."
Pinsky,an assistant clinical professor of psychiatry at USC'S Keck School of Medicine,said narcissists desire attention,are overconfident,behave strangely and lack sympathy."However,they are easily-liked,especially on first meeting,are outgoing and perform well in public,"added Pinsky,who has hosted the radio show"Loveline"for 20years.
Celebrity guests appearing on the program were randomly chosen to participate in the study.They anonymously(匿名地)took the Narcissistic Personality Inventory test.which rates self-love levels based on seven components:superiority,exhibitionism,entitlement,vanity,authority,exploitativeness,and self-sufficiency.

36.Who are most likely to be self-adoring in the study?A
A.The women stars.    B.The men stars
C.The average people.  D.It is not mentioned in the passage.
37.According to the forth paragraph.the fact"celebrities are narcissists"C.
A.is common in the entertainment industry
B.is a misunderstanding of Jeremy Ritzlin
C.is known to most of the people
D.is unreal on the stage
38.According to Pinsky,narcissists may NOTB.
A.hope to attract attention
B.be kind to poor people
C.believe in themselves
D.be liked by others easily
39.How were the celebrities surveyed in the study?D
A.They were interviewed by Drew Pinsky and S.Mark Young.
B.They were invited to the University of Southern California.
C.They appeared on Pinsky's‘Loveline'radio show.
D.They took the Narcissistic Personality Inventory test.
40.The author of this passage wants to tell USD.
A.how psychologists make a study
B.how entertainment industry produces celebrities
C.how people think of the famous stars
D.how celebrities feel about themselves.

分析 本文介绍了Drew Pinsky对名人所做的一份调查,参与调查的名人都是匿名进行参与,结果发现这些名人都比普通人更加自恋,更加容易自我陶醉.调查也发现不是娱乐业让这些名人形成了这些性格,而是自恋的人们更愿意去娱乐界发展.

解答 ACBDD
36  A  细节理解题.根据文章第三段Female stars were also more likely than the male stars to exhibit narcissistic characteristics可知女演员要比男演员更自恋,答案选A.
37   C  细节理解题.从第四段首句It's"common sense"that celebrities are narcissists可以判断"celebrities are narcissists"是人们都知道的事情,是一种常识,故答案选C.
38   B  细节理解题.根据文章倒数第二段narcissists desire attention,are overconfident,behave strangely and lack sympathy.可知Pinsky认为名人缺乏同情心,由此可知B为正确选项.
39    D  细节理解题.从文章末段Celebrity guests appearing on the program were randomly chosen to participate in the study.They anonymouslytook the Narcissistic Personality Inventory test.可知名人参加了自恋的人格测验.故选D.
40    D   主旨大意题.文章首段提出研究的结果:Celebrities(名人) are more in love with themselves than the average person,according to a new study.然后在下文中进行详细介绍,由此判断作者目的是介绍一份调查结果,即:名人的自我感觉,答案选D.

点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力,做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确的选择.在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.

13.A decades-old tradition,illustrated in a modem children's book,links the sweetness of honey with the joy of learning to read.
The grandpa held a jar of honey so that all the family could see.He then dipped a spoon into it and put some honey on the cover of a small book.
The little girl had just turned five.Stand up,little one,"he asked the girl softly."I did this for your mother,your uncles,your
old brother,and now you!"

20.My oldest child,Emma,just returned to campus after a long holiday break to finish up her last period of college.These days,friends and family have begun flooding me with one question:What is she going to do after graduation?
The job market is,after all,awfully tough.Just this month the Federal Reserve Bank published a study showing that"recent graduates are increasingly working in low-paid jobs or working part-time."The bright spot,according to the study,is for students who majored(主修) in STEM-science,technology,engineering and mathematics-areas in which recent graduates"have tended to do relatively well".
But Emma is a student of the humanities(人文) at a small college.She's an American Studies major with a focus on the politics and culture of food.For quite a while,I think her field of study is so fashionable right now that I'm not the least bit worried she will find a good job.Yet the more I've thought about it,the more I've decided to be honest."I'm not sure what Emma is going to do,"I now say."But she's gotten a great education and has really found her interest.-and I know those things will serve her well over the course of her life."
Nowadays,more and more universities and colleges are being measured by the salaries of their recent graduates.In this climate,encouraging your kid to study the humanities,seems,at best,unwise or,at worst,unconcerned with earning a living.But a college is not a vocational(职业) school.And promoting STEM subjects should not be society's only answer to helping the next generation grow in a competitive world.
From the beginning,we never urged Emma to pick a college or a major with an eye on its expected return on money,as more and more families are doing.To Emma,what really matters will be something that we may not be able to measure for quite a long time:Emma's contribution to the world and how happy she is in it.
25.The author's friends and familyC.
A.are worried about Emma's safety
B.have been worrying about the flood
C.are concerned about Emma's future  
D.are worried about the job market
26.What can we learn from Paragraph 2?C
A.The number of the graduates is increasing.
B.STEM graduates can be better employees.
C.STEM graduates are in relatively greater demand.
D.More and more graduates like to do a part-time job.
27.Why did Emma choose a major in the humanities?A
A.Because she is interested in it.
B.Because her mother told her to.
C.Because it is increasingly popular.
D.Because she wants further education.
28.According to the author,what matters most in choosing a major is thatD.
A.it should be among the STEM
B.it should be fashionable and interesting
C.it should allow a good job and a high salary
D.it should bring achievements and happiness.

10.根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项.
Brain Drain
Imagine you are sitting in your living room and out of surprise you get a call from a friend.He tells you that he's gotten the student visa and is going to study abroad for higher education.His parents may feel it a privilege that their son is guaranteed to have a bright future and unbelievable job opportunities.(71)A  While many people believe that immigration is a personal choice that must be understood and respected,others have realized a serious problem-brain drain.Brain drain refers to the flow of highly skilled and educated people,such as doctors,engineers,scientists from less developed countries to developed countries. Brain drain has become a common social problem.(72)F These reasons are"Push"factors (因素) and"Pull"factors.The push factors include low wages and lack of satisfactory working and living conditions,and so on.The pull factors,however,include higher pay and better working conditions,better job opportunities,as well as better research equipment.
As we can see,many educated people are heading for richer countries,seeking higher wages and better working conditions.(73)D It reduces the number of creative people who can contribute to the development of their country.Meanwhile,with more successful businessmen taking their money abroad,their countries are missing an opportunity of wealth creation.(74)B Besides these economic effects,the brain drain has also social negative effects,such as the loss of improvement in research and technique.
Therefore,measures must be taken in less developed countries to avoid brain drain.(75)E   Social developments like health services and education opportunities also need improving.Otherwise,less developed countries will face an uncertain future.
A.Even you may start to admire his plans.
B.This also reduces government tax income.
C.Why should their motivations be seriously considered?
D.This of course has serious negative effects on their own countries.
E.There should be more job opportunities for highly educated people.
F.So it is important to find out the proper reasons behind the brain drain.
G.Most of the measures taken so far have not reduced the effects of brain drain.

15.Frank Woolworth was born in Rodman,New York.,in 1852.His family were very poor farmers,and there was never enough to eat.Frank decided he did not want to be farmer.He took a short business course,and went to work as a salesman in a large city.
Woolworth realized he had a natural skill for showing goods to attract people's interest,but he soon learned something more important.One day his boss told him to sell some odds and ends (小商品 ) for as much as he could get.Frank put all these things on one table with a sign which said FIVE CENTS EACH.People fought and pushed to buy the things and the table was soon cleared.
Soon afterwards,Woolworth opened his own store.,selling goods at five and ten cents.But he had another lesson to learn before he became successful.That is,if you want to make money by selling low-price goods,you have to buy them in large quantities directly form the factories.Once,for example,Woolworth went to Germany and placed an order for knives.The order was so large that the factory had to keep running 24 hours a day for a whole year.In this way,the price of the knives was cut down by half.
By 1919,Woolworth had over 1000 stores in the US and Canada,and opened his first store in London.He made many millions and his name became famous throughout the world.He always run his business according to strict rules,of which the most important was:"THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT."
46.Frank took a short business course in order toC.
A.earn more money for his family    
B.learn something from a salesman
C.get away from the farm           
D.get enough to eat.

A.he knew how to get people to buy his goods.
B.he cut down the price by half
C.he had put the goods on a table in a very nice way.
D.the sign he put on the table was well designed.
48.The price of the knives was cut down by half becauseB.
A.the factory workers worked 24 hours a day.
B.knives were ordered in large quantities directly from the factory.
C.the knives were made in Germany,where labour (劳动力) was cheap.

B.The low price of the goods he sold.
C.His trip to Germany and his huge order of knives.
D.His natural skill for showing things.
50.The belief that:"The customer is always right"suggests thatD.
A.whenever there is a quarrel between the customer and shop assistant,the customers are always right.
B.If you want to succeed,the rule is the only way.
C.stores must always follow the customer's orders if they want to make more money.
D.stores should do their best to meet the customer's needs if they want to be successful.
