    6．The round-the-clock（24小时不断的） availability that cell phone have brought to people's lives may be taking a toll on family life，a new study suggests．The study，which followed more than 1，300 adults over 2 years，found that those who consistently used a mobile phone throughout die study period were more likely to report negative"spillover"between work and home life-and，in turn，less satisfaction with their family life．
    Spillover essenrially（本质上） means that the line between work and home begins to become unclear．Work life may invade home life when a parent ia taking job-related calls at home，for instance-or family issue may start to take up work time．For example，a child may call mom at work，telling her"microwave exploded"，explained Noclle Chesley．an assistant professor of sociology at the Univcisity of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and the author of the study．The problem with cell phones seems to be that they are allowing forever more spillover between work and home．
    This may be especially true for working women，the study found．Among men，consistent use of mobile phones seemed to allow more work issues to creep（潜入） into family time．But for women，the spillover tended to go in both directions being"connected"meant that work cut into home time，and family issues came into work life．
    Cell phones seem to be opening more lines for stressful exchanges among family members．But there may be ways to control the spillover，according to Chesley．"Employers"，she said，"could look at their policies on contacting employees after hours to make sure their expectations are‘reasonable'"．"For their part，employees could decide that cell phones go off during family time，"Chesley said．
    61．What does the underlined phrase"taking a toll on"probably mean in Paragraph 1？D
    A．Explaining                           B．Protecting．          
    C．Extending．                          D．Damaging．
    62．What is the purpose of offering the example"microwave exploded"in Paragraph 2？C
    A．To show the microwave is of poor quality．
    B．To indicate how dependent me child is．
    C．To indicate family issues affect work hours．      
    D．To show work time creeps into family life．
    63．As a result of negative"spillover"，people will feelA
    A．less satisfied with their family life                
    B．less satisfied with their work
    C．angry with their troublesome children             
    D．unwilling to get married at an early age
    64．According to Chesley，what is the best solution to the problem caused by cell phones？B
    A．Refuse to use cell phones．                       
    B．Separate work hours from family time．
    C．Ignore coming calls during family time．          
    D．Encourage women to stay at home．
    65．We can learn from the passage thatA．
    A．spillover makes the line between work and home unclear
    B．cell phones seem to be convenient to families
    C．cell phones affect men as much as women
    D．we can do nothing to solve the problem．

    分析 最新研究表明，手机24小时处于待机状态会严重影响人们的家庭生活．研究发现，在这期间频繁使用手机的人常常会觉得他们在工作和家庭之间失去了平衡，即所谓的挤占效应，而他们对自己的家庭生活也感到了不满．对此，研究人员提出了解决这一问题的建议．

    解答 61．D　词义猜测题．下文讲到手机使人们的工作时间和生活时间之间的界限变得模糊，手机在带给人们便利的同时，也给人们带来了对家庭生活的不满，故答案选D．
    62．C　推理判断题．Wisconsin-Milwaukee大学的社会学副教授Noelle Chesley举此例的目的在于说明母亲在工作时被孩子的电话所打扰．孩子说"家里的微波炉炸了"，显然是指家庭事务影响了工作．
    63．A　细节理解题．根据第一段最后一句were more likely to report negative"spillover"between work and home life-and，in turn，less satisfaction with their family life．可得出对家庭生活不够满意．故答案为A
    64．B　推理判断题．根据最后一段，Chesley建议公司老板可以考虑改变下班时间打电话给雇员的方式，确保他们对雇员有一个合理的期望值．而对于雇员来说，他们可以在下班时间关掉手机，尽情享受家庭时光．
    65．A　细节理解题．根据第二段第一句Spillover essenrially（本质上） means that the line between work and home begins to become unclear．可知答案．

    点评 做阅读时经常犯错的主要原因是，仅凭读过文章后残留在脑海中的一丝印象来勾选答案，这样便很容易掉入出题人故意设布下的题目陷阱．所谓阅读理解，对于题目的理解一定要忠实于原文，因此，每一道题都应该与原文作全面的对比与核查，再得出答案．也就是说，阅读理解的每一道题目，在原文都应该有明确的出处，我们把这一出处叫做原文相关句，（1）排除与原文相关句主题不一致的选项（2）排除与原文相关句态度相反的选项  （3）排除用于过于极端或负面的选项（4）注意结合文章主旨和主题去排除．

    17．Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer．
    The X-Factor （英国偶像），Britain's got talent（英国达人），American Idol（美国偶像）and Super girl，TV talent shows are popular all over the world．
    There are many reasons for that．To start with，the show can make the contestant（选手） famous overnight．Susan Boyle was an ordinary English woman before she appeared on Britain's Got talent，in which she sang"I Dreamed a Dream"．The video clip （片段） of her performance was viewed more than 50 million times within a few weeks．Second，the show offers a good opportunity to display one's talents．Third，everybody has a fair chance to be involved in the show regardless of the age and background．Even if you can't perform in the show，you can vote for your favorite contestant through cell phones and the Internet．Fourth，the fun and humorous style also appeals to young people．Last but not least，the modern media such as TV and the Internet contributes greatly to its rapid popularity．
    However，many people express concerns about TV talent shows．They argue that the TV talent show misleads the young people and makes them believe that they can become famous overnight．Some think the show only creates entertainers rather than artists，because many winners have little idea about real music and acting．What's worse，some judges even humiliate （羞辱） and laugh at contestants．One contestant from American Idol committed suicide because she couldn't stand the rejection and humiliation．Even the winners suffer．Susan Boyle suffered a nervous breakdown soon after the show，because she was unable to deal with the pressure．
    Many countries have realized the problems and taken some steps to regulate the show．The UK requires that contestants younger than 16 not be allowed to participate．China bans TV talent shows to be broadcast during the prime time．In the USA，some insulting judges are punished．

    14．Shaking hands is a part of business life．and while it's a simple gesture，it's important to getit right Here are some tips to follow．
    （1）Make eye contact．The handshake is firstly a form of greeting and as such you are looking at the person to make a connection with him or her，beyond the immediate physical handshake．
    （2）Introduce your self．A handshake is only part of the graeting process； combine it with an oral introduction or message．
    （3）Use your right hand If you have something to do with your right hand，you should explain to him or her and say sorry while showing your left hand to him or her to get the forgiveness．
    （4）Be firm and steady．No one likes a dead-fish handshake，but it's not a wrestling contest，either．The pressure you need to apply is about what you'd use to pick up a full drink bottle．
    （5）BA few seconds is all that is needed．Your aim is to greet the person，not to trap him．
    Here is something that you should not do．
    （1）Squeeze lt's called a handshake，not a hand squeeze Squeezing can hurt the other person's hand，especially if he or she is wearing rings．
    （2）Use a two-handed shake．Don't do that unless it's a person you know well．Between new acquaintances，the double-handed shake can be considered smarmy（讨好的）．This also napplies to using the left hand to touch the person's shoulder．
    （3）Use a dirty or sweaty hand．If you're nervous and your palm is sweat，press your palm against your leg to wipe it dry．

    36．According to the passage，before a handshake，if you are doing something with your right hand，C．
    A．you must stop doing it at once                B．you can ask him or her to wait
    C．you should explain and apologize              D．you can use your left hand
    37．What's the best title for point 5in the tips-to-follow part？B
    A Greet the person                   B．Keep it brief．
    C．Make your aim clear．               D．Don't embarrass your hand-shaker．
    38．According to the passage，if you shake hands with someone you meet for the first time，which of the following is polite to do？C
    A．Use your two hands to show your respect．
    B．Put your left hand on his or her shoulder when shaking hands．
    C．Make sure that your hand is dry before shaking hands．
    D．Use your right hand to squeeze his or her hand．
    39．Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage？B
    A．Where we should look when shaking hands．
    B．Who should hold out his or her hand first to shake hands．
    C．How much pressure should be used when you shake hands．
    D．How long a handshake  should last．
    40．We can infer that the writer spurpose in writing this passage is toD．
    A．tell us the importance of a great handshake
    B．show us what kinds of handshakes are considered impolite
    C．give us some tips on how to make a good first impression
    D．give us some tips on how to shake harids properly．

    1．The State of Marriage Today
    Is there something seriously wrong with marriage today？During the past 50years，the rate of divorce in the United States has exploded：almost 50%of marriages end in divorce now，and the evidence suggests it is going to get worse，if this trend continues．It will lead to the breakup of the family，according to a spokesperson for the National Family Association．Some futurists predict that in 100years，the average American will marry at least four times and extramarital affairs（婚外恋） will be even more common than they are now．
    But what are the reasons for this，and is the picture really so depressing？The answer to the first question is really quite simple：marriage is no longer the necessity it once was．The practice of marriage has been based for years partly on economic need．Women used to be economically dependent on their husbands as they usually didn't have jobs outside the home．But with the rising number of women in well-paying jobs，this is no longer the case，so they don't feel that they need to stay in a failing marriage．
    In answer to the second question，the prospects may not be as pessimistic as they seem．While the rate of divorce has risen，the rate of couples marrying has never actually fallen very much，so marriage is still quite popular．In addition to this，many couples now cohabit（同居） and don't bother to marry．These couples are effectively married，but they do not appear in either the marriage or divorce statistics．In fact，more than 50%of first marriages survive．The statistics are unreliable because there is a higher number of divorces in second and third marriages than in first marriages．
    So is marriage really an outdated practice？The fact that most people still get married indicates that it isn't．And it is also true that married couples have a healthier life than single people：they suffer less from stress and its consequences，such as heart problems，and married men generally consider themselves more satisfied than their single counterparts．Perhaps the key is to find out what makes a successful marriage and apply it to all of our relationships!

    65．What does"this is no longer the case"in paragraph two mean？C
    A．It is not necessary to get married any more．
    B．Women do not need a husband any longer．
    C．Women are not economically dependent any more．
    D．Many wives do well-paying jobs outside home now．
    66．Why may the prospects of marriage not be as depressing as it appears？A
    A．Many people still like to get married．
    B．The rate of divorce has actually decreased．
    C．many couples would rather cohabit than marry
    D．The statistics of divorce is not quite true．
    67．How do people usually feel in their marriage life？C
    A．They are much safer．     B．They feel no longer single．
    C．They are more satisfied． D．They suffer a lot less．
    68．Which of the following about marriage is NOT mentioned in the passage？B
    A．There will be more relationships outside marriage．
    B．Many people try to get married again after divorce．
    C．Marriage has long been partly an economic need．
    D．It is a fact that most people choose to get married．

    11．Just 25years ago，the top three career hopes for young people in Britain were teacher，banker and doctor．Now，they want to be sports star，pop star and actor，according to  survey by the Guardian newspaper．
    Rachel，a character in the popular TV show Glee，may be said to speak for British teenagers．"Nowadays being nobody is worse than being poor．"He said．
    Emma Brockes，a reporter with the Guardian，believes it is"the bad influence of celebrity（名人） culture"that is to blame．"When children wanted to be doctor，it wasn't because they were really more interested in the functions of human organs than they are now； you go where the respect is．"She wrote．
    It could explain why there has been such an increase in levels of anxiety and depression．Dr Carlo Stranger，of Tel Aviv University，studied the sense of self for his new book The Fear of Insignificance：Searching for Meaning in the 21st Century．He told the Daily Mail that young people now are"affected by the close connection to the global entertainment network，which has turned ranking and rating people according to wealth and celebrity into an obsession（痴迷）．"
    "As humans，we naturally measure ourselves to those around us，but now we live in a global village．We are comparing ourselves with the most‘important'people in the world and finding ourselves wanting，"he said．Today，even high achievers constantly fear that they are insignificant when they compare themselves to success stories in the media．
    The way out？Simply stop measuring your achievement through a fantasy of wealth and celebrity．Dr Strenger said that it is a process called"active self-acceptance through a constant search for self-knowledge through life．"
    "The fear of insignificance can only be overcome through strong individual and cultural identity over and above measurable achievement，"he said．

    66．Nowadays，young people in Britain want toB．
    A．choose jobs based on interests     B．become famous
    C．be teacher，banker and doctor      D．earn more money
    67．According to Emma Brockes，what causes the increasing level of anxiety？C
    A．Choices of future careers．        B．Access to the global network．
    C．Bad influences of celebrities．    D．Endless comparison with others．
    68．Which of the following is true of Dr Carlo Strenger？D
    A．He is a newspaper reporter．       B．He is the spokesman of teenagers．

    18．As the pace of life continues to increase，we are fast losing the art of relaxation．Once you are in the habit of rushing through lift，being on the go from looming till night，it is hard to slow down．But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body．
    Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it．In fact，it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be．A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life．It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health．
    The amount of stress a person can stand depends very much on the individual．Some people are not afraid of stress，and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities．Others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties．When exposed to stress，in whatever form，we react both chemically and physically．In fact we make a choice between"fight"or"flight"，and in more primitive days the choice made the difference between life or death．The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme，but however little the stress is，it involves the same response．It is when   such a reaction  lasts long，through continued exposure to stress，that health becomes endangered．Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart disease have established links with stress．Since we cannot remove stress from our lives （it would be unwise to do so，even if we could we need to find ways to deal with it．

    61．People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves becauseC．
    A．they have no idea of the art of relaxation
    B．they are in the habit of rushing through lift
    C．they are becoming more occupied with their work
    D．they do not believe that relaxation is important for health
    62．According to the writer，the most important quality for a good manager is hisA．
    A．not fearing stress                      B．not depending on others
    C．reaction chemically and physically      D．knowing the art of relaxation

    A．Stress is always harmful to people．
    B．We can find some ways to avoid stress．
    C．Different people can bear different amounts of stress．
    D．It is easy to lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties．
    64．In Paragraph 3，"such a reaction"refers toD．
    A．"responding to crises quickly"
    B．"losing heart at the signs of difficulties"
    C．"making a choice between'flight'or'fight'"
    D．"reaction to stress both chemically and physically"
    65．It can be inferred thatD．
    A．stress will surely make your health endangered
    B．too much relaxation can lead to poor performance
    C．it is a good idea to remove stress from our lives when we meet difficulties

    15．Some 80 percent of graduate students in East China's Zhejiang province said in a survey they will give up trying to find jobs in Beijing，Shanghai and Guangzhou，first-tier cities in China that have been considered dream places for many，because of the untouchable home prices and high living costs．
    The Yangtse Evening Post conducted the survey among 50 job seekers who were attending Sunday's job fair in Jiangsu for graduate students．The survey showed graduates are becoming more realistic in their job search despite the job market becoming better．

    One night，while camping alone，Rob reached out to pick up a large piece of wood and felt something bite his arm．Rob didn't think much about it．But a little later，his arm began to ache．When he looked closely at it，he immediately saw two teeth marks in the skin of his arm．He realized that a poisonous snake had bitten him．His pulse became rapid．
    Rob's mind raced as he thought about what he had to do to survive．Rob knew that he should remain calm，stay still，keep the injured arm below the level of his heart and avoid eating or drinking anything，especially anything with alcohol in it．He also knew that cutting the wound to suck the poison out was a bad idea．
    He used his two-way radio to call for help．As he waited，he washed the bite with soap and water．To help slow the spread of the venom（毒液），he wrapped a bandage two inches above the bite and made it loose enough to slip a finger under it so that it would not cut off the flow of blood．Then，after about half an hour，his friend Mike arrived．Mike took Rob to the local hospital，where Rob was given antivenin-an antidotefor snake venom．
    Rob still enjoys camping，but he is now very careful not to disturb snakes．
