我第一次见到保罗·纽曼是在1968年，当时《虎豹小霸王》的导演乔治·罗伊·希尔在纽约介绍我们认识。
当电影公司不想让我演那部电影——他们想要像保罗一样出名的演员时——保罗却站出来支持我。
我不知道多少人会那么做；通常他们会听他们的经纪人或者电影公司领导的安排。
我们的友谊在拍摄那部电影和四年后我们共同出演电影《骗中骗》的经历中产生，其根源在于尽管我们年龄不同，但是我们的表演都具有传统的戏剧和电视直播的风格。
我们都尊重演技并且会努力研究我们所要扮演的角色的性格。
我们俩都有典型的美国演员的品格和美德：幽默，进取，爱彼此打趣——但是总是伴随着我们彼此之间的潜在的关心。
这些正是我们在银屏之外的日常生活当中也是好朋友的关键。
我们有着共同的信念——如果你足够幸运取得了成功，你应该对社会做出一些回报——他创办了以自己的名字命名的食品公司，还有为有重病孩子提供的“墙上的洞夏令营”；而我创办了圣丹斯组织和圣丹斯节。
我和保罗并不经常见面，但是共同的信念把我们连接在一起。
我们在经济上彼此支持并会一起出席公益活动。
我最后一次见到他是在几个月前。
他当时一直频繁地进出医院。
我们都知道怎么回事，我们也不讨论他的病情。
我们之间的友谊不需要过多的言语。

Terrafugia公司本周一说他们公司的新飞行汽车已经完成了第一次试飞，这使他们离明年实现销售飞行汽车的目标更近了一步。
这个交通工具——被叫做“Transition”——有两个座位，四个轮子和机翼，机翼可以折叠起来，这样就可以像开车一样驾驶它了。
Transition
上个月已经在1400英尺的高空飞行了8分钟，在陆地上速度可以达到大概70英里每小时，在空中大约115英里每小时。
它的油箱可装23加仑，飞行时每小时消耗5加仑。
在陆地上，它每加仑可以跑35英里。
为了能在Transition上市时购买它，大约有100人已经交了10000美金的定金，但是本周当Terrafugia公司在纽约汽车展上向公众介绍Transition之后，订购的人极有可能会增加。
然而不要期望Transition会出现在很多的车道上。
因为Transition的预期价格是279000美元。
并且如果你碰上交通拥堵，Transition也帮不上忙。
因为Transition需要跑道才能飞起来。
根据航天专家罗伯特·曼恩所说，发明家们从20世纪30年代以来就一直试图发明飞行汽车。
但是罗伯特认为Terrafugia公司在使飞行汽车变为现实上已经比其他公司更近了一步。
为了使它更易飞行，政府已经允许该公司使用特殊的材料。
目前Transition正在进行撞击实验来确保它达到联邦安全标准。
罗伯特说联邦航空管理局五年前建立了一套独立的轻便型飞机的标准，Terrafugia公司从中获得了很多帮助，这个标准对飞行员的要求比对驾驶大型飞机飞行员的要求低。
Terrafugia公司说车主需要通过一个测试并完成20小时的飞行才可以驾驶Transition，对于飞行员来说，这将是一个相对容易达到的要求。

Today， the15 of work may be a bit overblown.“ Many jobs are boring， degrading， unhealthy ， and a waste of human potential，” saysJohn Danaher， a lecturer at the National University of Ireland in Galway.These days， because leisure time is relatively 16 for most workers， peopleuse their free time to counterbalance the intellectual and emotional 17 of their jobs.“ When I come home from a hard day’，s wI o rkften feel18 ，” Danaher says，adding ，“ In a world in which I don’ thave to work ， I might feel rather different”perhaps—different enough to throw himself19 a hobby or a passionproject with the intensity usually reserved for 20 matters.1.[A] boasting[B] denying[C] warning[D] ensuring2.[A] inequality [B] instability[C] unreliability[D] uncertainty3.[A] policy[B]guideline[C] resolution[D] prediction4.[A] characterized[B]divided[C] balanced[D]measured5.[A] wisdom[B] meaning[C] glory[D] freedom6.[A] Instead[B] Indeed[C] Thus[D] Nevertheless7.[A] rich[B] urban[C]working[D] educated8.[A] explanation[B] requirement[C] compensation [D] substitute9.[A] under[B] beyond[C] alongside[D] among10.[A] leave behind[B] make up[C] worry about[D] set aside11.[A] statistically[B] occasionally[C] necessarily[D] economically12.[A] chances[B] downsides[C] benefits[D] principles13.[A] absence[B] height[C] face[D] course14.[A] disturb[B] restore[C] exclude[D] yield15.[A] model[B] practice[C] virtue[D] hardship16.[A] tricky[B] lengthy[C] mysterious[D] scarce17.[A] demands[B] standards[C] qualities[D] threats18.[A] ignored[B] tired[C] confused[D] starved19.[A] off[B] against[C] behind[D] into20.[A] technological[B] professional [C] educational[D] interpersonalSection II Reading ComprehensionPart ADirections：Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. （40 points）Text 1Every Saturday morning, at 9 am, more than 50,000 runners set off to run 5km around their local park. The Parkrun phenomenon began with a dozen friends and has inspired 400 events in the UK and more abroad. Events are free, staffed by thousands of volunteers. Runners range from four years old to grandparents; their times range from Andrew Baddeley's world record 13 minutes 48 seconds up to an hour.Parkrun is succeeding where London's Olympic "legacy" is failing. Ten yearsago on Monday, it was announced that the Games of the 30th Olympiad would be in London. Planning documents pledged that the great legacy of the Games would be to level a nation of sport lovers away from their couches. The population would be fitter, healthier and produce more winners. It has not happened. The number of adults doing weekly sport did rise, by nearly 2 million in the run －up to 2012－ but the general population was growing faster. Worse, the numbers are now falling at an accelerating rate. The opposition claims primary school pupils doing at least two hours of sport a week have nearly halved. Obesity has risen among adults and children. Official retrospections continue as to why London 2012 failed to "inspire a generation." The success of Parkrun offers answers.Parkun is not a race but a time trial: Your only competitor is the clock. Theethos welcomes anybody. There is as much joy over a puffed-out first-timer being clapped over the line as there is about top talent shining. The Olympic bidders, by contrast, wanted to get more people doing sports and to produce more elite athletes. The dual aim was mixed up: The stress on success over taking part was intimidating for newcomers.Indeed, there is something a little absurd in the state getting involved in theplanning of such a fundamentally "grassroots", concept as community sports associations. If there is a role for government, it should really be getting involved in providing common goods－ making sure there is space for playing fields and themoney to pave tennis and netball courts, and encouraging the provision of all these activities in schools. But successive governments have presided over selling green spaces, squeezing money from local authorities and declining attention on sport in education. Instead of wordy, worthy strategies, future governments need to do moreto provide the conditions for sport to thrive. Or at least not make them worse.21.According to Paragraph1, Parkrun has_____.A．gained great popularityB．created many jobsC．strengthened community tiesD．become an official festival22.The author believes that London's Olympic "legacy" has failed to_____.A．boost population growthB．promote sport participationC．improve the city's imageD．increase sport hours in schools23.Parkrun is different from Olympic games in that it_____.A．aims at discovering talentsB．focuses on mass competitionC．does not emphasize elitismD．does not attract first-timers24.With regard to mass sport, the author holds that governments should_____. A．organize "grassroots" sports eventsB．supervise local sports associationsC．increase funds for sports clubsD．invest in public sports facilities25.The author's attitude to what UK governments have done for sports is_____. A．tolerantB．criticalC．uncertainD．sympatheticText 2With so much focus on children’ s use of screens, it's easy for parents to forget abouttheir own screen use.“ Tech is designed to really suck on you in,” says Jenny Ra in her study of digital play, "and digital products are there to promote maximalengagement. It makes it hard to disengage, and leads to a lot of bleed-over into thefamily routine.”Radesky has studied the use of mobile phones and tablets at mealtimes by givingmother-child pairs a food-testing exercise. She found that mothers who sued devicesduring the exercise started 20 percent fewer verbal and 39 percent fewer nonverbalinteractions with their children. During a separate observation, she saw that phonesbecame a source of tension in the family. Parents would be looking at their emailswhile the children would be making excited bids for their attention.Infants are wired to look at parents faces’to try to understand their world, and ifthose faces are blank and unresponsive—as they often are when absorbed in adevice－it can be extremely disconcerting foe the children. Radesky cites the “ stillface experiment” devised by developmental psychologist Ed Tronick in the 1970s. Init, a mother is asked to interact with her child in a normal way before putting on ablank expression and not giving them any visual social feedback; The child becomesincreasingly distressed as she tries to capture her mother’ s attention. "Parents don' have to be exquisitely parents at all times, but there needs to be a balance andparents need to be responsive and sensitive to a child ’verbals or nonverbalexpressions of an emotional need," says Radesky.On the other hand, Tronick himself is concerned that the worries about kids' use ofscreens are born out of an“ oppressive ideology thatndsdematht parents shouldalways be interacting” with their children:“ It ’ s based on a somewhat fantasized, v white, very upper-middle- class ideology that says if you’ re failing to expose your childto 30,000 words you are neglecting them.” Tronickesthatbelievjust because a childisn ’ t learning from the screen doesn’ t mean there’－sparticularlynovaluetoifititgives parents time to have a shower, do housework or simply have a break fromtheir child. Parents, he says, can get a lot out of using their devices to speak to afriend or get some work out of the way. This can make them feel happier, which letsthen be more available to their child the rest of the time.26.According to Jenny Radesky, digital products are designed to ______.A．simplify routine mattersB．absorb user attentionC．better interpersonal relationsD．increase work efficiency’ use of devices ______.27. Radesky ’ s -foodtesting exercise shows thatmothers A．takes away babies ’ appetiteB．distracts children’ s attentionC．slows down babies’ verbal developmentD．reduces mother-child communication28. Radesky ’ s cites the“ still face experiment” to show that _______.A．it is easy for children to get used to blank expressionsB．verbal expressions are unnecessary for emotional exchangeC．children are insensitive to changes in their parents ’ mood D．parentsneed to respond to children's emotional needs29.The oppressive ideology mentioned by Tronick requires parents to_______. A．protect kids from exposure to wild fantasiesB．teach their kids at least 30,000 words a yearC．ensure constant interaction with their childrenD．remain concerned about kid's use of screens30. According to Tronick, kid’ s use of screens may_______.A．give their parents some free timeB．make their parents more creativeC．help them with their homeworkD．help them become more attentiveText 3Today, widespread social pressure to immediately go to college in conjunction with increasingly high expectations in a fast-moving world often causes students to completely overlook the possibility of taking a gap year. After all, if everyone you know is going to college in the fall, it seems silly to stay back a year, doesn't it? And after going to school for 12 years, it doesn't feel natural to spend a year doing something that isn t academic’.But while this may be true, it ’nots a good enough reason to condemn gap years. There's always a constant fear of falling behind everyone else on the socially perpetuated “raceto the finish line, whether”that be toward graduate school, medical school or lucrative career. But despite common misconceptions, a gap year does not hinder the success of academic pursuits－ in fact, it probably enhances it. Studies from the United States and Australia show that students who take a gap year are generally better prepared for and perform better in college than those who do not. Rather than pulling students back, a gap year pushes them ahead by preparing them for independence, new responsibilities and environmental changes－ all things that first-year students often struggle with the most. Gap year experiences can lessen the blow when it comes to adjusting to college and being thrown into a brand new environment, making it easier to focus on academics and activities rather than acclimation blunders.If you're not convinced of the inherent value in taking a year off to explore interests, then consider its financial impact on future academic choices. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, nearly 80 percent of college students endup changing their majors at least once. This isn ’surprising,t considering the basic mandatory high school curriculum leaves students with a poor understanding of themselves listing one major on their college applications, but switching to anotherafter taking college classes. It ’nots necessarily a bad thing, but depending on the school, it can be costly to make up credits after switching too late in the game. At Boston College, for example, you would have to complete an extra year were you to switch to the nursing school from another department. Taking a gap year to figure things out initially can help prevent stress and save money later on.31.One of the reasons for high-school graduates not taking a gap year is that_____. A．they think it academically misleadingB．they have a lot of fun to expect in collegeC．it feels strange to do differently from othersD．it seems worthless to take off-campus courses32.Studies from the US and Australia imply that taking a gap year helps_____. A．keep students from being unrealisticB．lower risks in choosing careersC．ease freshmen ’ s financial burdensD．relieve freshmen of pressures33.The word “ acclimation（Line”8, Para. 3） is closest in meaningto_____. A．adaptationB．applicationC．motivationD．competition34.A gap year may save money for students by helping them_____.A．avoid academic failuresB．establish long-term goalsC．switch to another collegeD．decide on the right major35.The most suitable title for this text would be_____.A．In Favor of the Gap YearB．The ABCs of the Gap YearC．The Gap Year Comes BackD．The Gap Year: A DilemmaText 4Though often viewed as a problem for western states, the growing frequency of wildfires is a national concern because of its impact on federal tax dollars, says Professor Max Moritz, a specialist in fire ecology and management.In 2015, the US Forest Service for the first time spent more than half of its $5.5 billion annual budget fighting fires － nearly double the percentage it spent on such efforts 20 years ago. In effect, fewer federal funds today are going towards the agency's other work － such as forest conservation, watershed and cultural resources management, and infrastructure upkeep－that affect the lives of all Americans.Another nationwide concern is whether public funds from other agencies are goinginto construction in fire-prone districts. As Moritz puts it, how often are federaldollars building homes that are likely to be lost to a wildfire?“ It ’alreadys a huge problem from a public expenditure perspective for the wholecountry, he” says. We need to take a magnifying glass to that. Like,“ Wait a minute, this OK?”“ Dowe want instead to redirect those funds to concentrate on lower- hazard parts of the landscape?”Such a view would require a corresponding shift in the way US society today viewsfire, researchers say.For one thing, conversations about wildfires need to be more inclusive. Over the pastdecade, the focus has been on climate change－how the warming of the Earth fromgreenhouse gases is leading to conditions that worsen fires.While climate is a key element, Moritz says, it shouldn’ t come at the expense of the rest of the equation.“ The human systems and the landscapes we live on are linked, and the interactionsgo both ways," he says. Failing to recognize that, he notes, leads to "an overlysimplified view of what the solutions might be. Our perception of the problem and ofwhat the solution is becomes very limited.”At the same time, people continue to treat fire as an event that needs to be whollycontrolled and unleashed only out of necessity, says Professor Balch at the Universityof Colorado. But acknowledging fire's inevitable presence in human life is an attitudecrucial to developing the laws, policies, and practices that make it as safe as possible,she says.“ We’ vedisconnected ourselves from living with fire, ”Balch says. “ It is reallyimportant to understand and try and tease out what is the human connection withfire today. ”36. More frequent wildfires have become a national concern because in 2015they_____.A．exhausted unprecedented management effortsB．consumed a record-high percentage of budgetC．severely damaged the ecology of western statesD．caused a huge rise of infrastructure expenditure37.Moritz calls for the use of "a magnifying glass" to _____.A．raise more funds for fire-prone areasB．avoid the redirection of federal moneyC．find wildfire-free parts of the landscapeD．guarantee safer spending of public funds38.While admitting that climate is a key element, Moritz notes that _____.A．public debates have not settled yetB．fire-fighting conditions are improvingC．other factors should not be overlookedD．a shift in the view of fire has taken place39.The overly simplified view Moritz mentions is a result of failing to _____.

"We don't make anything anymore," he told Fox News, while defending his own made-in-Mexico clothing line.Without question, manufacturing has taken a significant hit during recent decades,and further trade deals raise questions about whether new shocks could hit manufacturing.But there is also a different way to look at the data.Across the country, factory owners are now grappling with a new challenge: insteadof having too many workers, they may end up with too few. Despite tradecompetition and outsourcing, American manufacturing still needs to replace tens of thousands of retiring boomers every years. Millennials may not be that interested in taking their place, other industries are recruiting them with similar or better pay.For factory owners, it all adds up to stiff competition for workers－and upward pressure on wages. "They're harder to find and they have job offers," says Jay Dunwell, president of Wolverine Coil Spring, a family-owned firm, "They may be coming [into the workforce], but they've been plucked by other industries that arealso doing an well as manufacturing," Mr. Dunwell has begun bringing high school juniors to the factory so they can get exposed to its culture.At RoMan Manufacturing, a maker of electrical transformers and welding equipment that his father cofounded in 1980, Robert Roth keep a close eye on the age of his nearly 200 workers, five are retiring this year. Mr. Roth has three community-college students enrolled in a work-placement program, with a starting wage of $13 an hour that rises to $17 after two years.At a worktable inside the transformer plant, young Jason Stenquist looks flusteredby the copper coils he's trying to assemble and the arrival of two visitors. It's his first week on the job. Asked about his choice of career, he says at high school he considered medical school before switching to electrical engineering. "I love workingwith tools. I love creating." he says.But to win over these young workers, manufacturers have to clear another major hurdle: parents, who lived through the worst US economic downturn since the Great Depression, telling them to avoid the factory. Millennials "remember their father and mother both were laid off. They blame it on the manufacturing recession," says Birgit Klohs, chief executive of The Right Place, a business development agency forwestern Michigan.These concerns aren't misplaced: Employment in manufacturing has fallen from 17 million in 1970 to 12 million in 2013. When the recovery began, worker shortagesfirst appeared in the high-skilled trades. Now shortages are appearing at the mid-skill levels."The gap is between the jobs that take to skills and those that require a lot of skill,"says Rob Spohr, a business professor at Montcalm Community College. "There're enough people to fill the jobs at McDonalds and other places where you don't needto have much skill. It's that gap in between, and that's where the problem is."Julie Parks of Grand Rapids Community points to another key to luring Millennialsinto manufacturing: a work/life balance. While their parents were content to work long hours, young people value flexibility. "Overtime is not attractive to this generation. They really want to live their lives," she says.[A]says that he switched to electricalengineering because he loves workingwith tools 。

2017考研英语二阅读译文
考研英语二阅读译文深度解析与启示In the realm of postgraduate entrance exams, the English II section, particularly the reading comprehension portion, holds a pivotal position. The translations within these readings offer a window to the cultural and intellectual depths of English-speaking countries, providing not only linguistic challenges but also insights into foreign ways of thinking. The 2017 edition of this section is particularly noteworthy, as it offers a diverse range of topics and complex language structures, testing the comprehension and analytical skills of candidates.The first reading passage, dealing with the impact of technology on daily life, presents a thought-provoking discussion on the pros and cons of technological advancements. The translation, while accurate, requires a high level of contextual understanding to appreciate the nuances of the English language. For instance, the phrase "the boon and bane of modern life" requires a deep understanding of English idioms to appreciate its double-edged meaning. This passage highlights the importance ofcritical thinking in evaluating the impact of technology on society.The second passage, dealing with the economic challenges faced by developing countries, offers a stark contrast to the first, focusing on the real-world implications of global economic disparities. Thetranslation is complex, with a blend of economic terminology and everyday language, requiring the reader to possess a sound vocabulary and understanding of economic principles. The challenges posed by this passage underscore the need for a broad knowledge base in order to effectively comprehend and analyze economic issues.The third and final passage, dealing with the environmental crisis, brings the focus to a more global and pressing issue. The translation, while challenging, is also poignant, capturing the urgency and gravity of the situation. The use of vivid imagery and emotional language underscores the need for urgent action to address environmental degradation. This passage强调了环境保护的紧迫性和重要性，提醒人们关注环境问题，并采取积极行动。

On Tuesday 29 MayBI first met Paul Newman in 1968, when George Roy Hill, the director of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, introduced us in New York City. When the studio didn’t want me for the film - it wanted somebody as well known as Paul - he stood up for me. I don’t know how many people would have done that; they would have listened to their agents （代理人）or the studio powers.The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference, we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV. We were respectful of craft（技艺）and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play. Both of us had the qualities and virtues(美德) that are typical of American actors: humorous, aggressive, and making fun of each other - but always with an underlying affection（喜爱）. Those were also at the core（核心）of our relationship off the screen.We shared the belie f that if you’re fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back - he with his Newman’s Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival. Paul and I didn’t see each other all that regularly, but sharing that brought us together. We supported each other financially and by showing up at events.I last saw him a few months ago. He’d been in and out of the hospital. He and I both knew what the deal was, and we didn’t talk about it. Ours was a relation ship that didn’t need a lot of words.24.Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to author at first?A. Paul Newman wanted it.B. The studio powers didn’t like his agent.C. He wasn’t famous enough.D. The director recommended（推荐）someone else.25. Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship?A. They were of the same age.B. They worked in the same theater.C. They were both good actors.D. They have similar charactertics.26. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to?A. Their belief.B. Their care for children.C. Their success.D. Their support for each other.27. What is the author’s purpose in writing the test?A. To show his love of films.B. To remember a friend.C. To introduce a new movie.D. To share his acting experience.CTerrafugia Inc. said Monday that its new flying car has completed its first flight, bringing the company closer to its goal of selling the flying car within the next year. The vehicle（车辆）—named the Transition —has two seats，four wheels and wings that fold up so it can be driven like a car. TheTransition, which flew at 1,400 feet for eight minutes last month, can reach around 70 miles per hour on the road and 115 in the air. It flies using a 23-gallon tank of gas and bums 5 gallons per hour in the air. On the ground, it gets 35 miles per gallon.Around 100 people have already put down a $10,000 deposit（定金）to get a Transition when they go on sale, and those numbers will likely rise after Terrafugia introduces the Transition to the public later this week at the New Y ork Auto Show. But don’t expect it to show up in too many driveways. It’s expected to cost $279,000.And it won’t help if you’re stuck in traffic. The car needs a runway.Inventors have been trying to make flying cars since the 1930s, according to Robert Mann, an airline industry expert. But Mann thinks Terrafugia has come closer than anyone to making the flying car a reality. The government has already permitted the company to use special materials to make it easier for the vehicle to fly. The Transition is now going through crash tests to make sure it meets federal safety standards（标准）.Mann said Terrafugia was helped by the Federal Aviation Administration’s decision five years ago to create a separate set of standards for light sport aircraft, which are lower than those pilots of larger planes Terrafugia says an owner would need to pass a test and complete 20 hours of flying time to be able to fly the Transition, a requirement pilots would find relatively easy to meet.28. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. The basic data of the Transition.B. The advantages of flying cars.C. The potential market for flying cars. C. The designers of the Transition.29. Why is the Transition unlikely to show up in too many driveways?A. It causes traffic jams.B. It is difficult to operate（操作）.C. It is very expensive.D. It bums too much fuel.30. What is the government’s attitude to the development of the flying car?A. CautiousB. Favorable.C. Ambiguous.D. Disapproving.31. What is the best title for the text?A. Flying Car at Auto ShowB. The Transition’s Fist FlightC. P ilots’Dream Coming TrueD. Flying Car Closer to RealityDWhen a leafy plant is under attack ，it doesn’t sit quietly. Back in 1983, two scientists, Jack Schultz and Ian Baldwin, reported that young maple trees getting bitten by insects send out a particular smell that neighboring plants can get. These chemicals come from the injured parts of the plant and seem to be an alarm. What the plants pump through the air is a mixture of chemicals known as volatile organic compounds, VOCs for short.Scientists have found that all kinds of plants give out VOCs when being attacked .It’s a plant’s way of crying out. But is anyone listening? Apparently. Because we can watch the neighbours react.Some plants pump out smelly chemicals to keep insects away. But others do double duty .They pump out perfumes（香味）designed to attract different insects who are natural enemies to the attackers. Once they arrive, the tables are turned .The attacker who was lunching now becomes lunch. In study after study, it appears that these chemical conversations help the neighbors .The damage is usually more serious on the first plant, but the neighbors , relatively speaking ,stay safer because they heard the alarm and knew what to do.Does this mean that plants talk to each other? Scientists don’t know. Maybe the first plant just made a cry of pain or was sending a message to its own branches, and so, in effect, was talking to itself. Perhaps the neighbors just happened to “overhear” the cry. So information was exchanged, but it wasn’t a true, intentional（故意的）back and forth.Charles Darwin, over 150 years ago, imagined a world far busier, noisier and more intimate(亲密的) than the world we can see and hear. Our senses are weak. There’s a whole lot going on.32. What does a plant do when it is under attack?A. It makes noises.B. It gets help from other plants.C. It stands quietlyD. It sends out certain chemicals.33. What does the author mean by “the tables are turned” in paragraph 3?A. The attackers get attacked.B. The insects gather under the table.C. The plants get ready to fight back.D. The perfumes attract natural enemies.34. Scientists find from their studies that plants can .A. predict natural disastersB. protect themselves against insectsC. talk to one another intentionallyD. help their neighbors when necessary35.what can we infer from the last paragraph?A. The word is changing faster than ever.B. People have stronger senses than beforeC. The world is more complex(复杂) than it seemsD.People in Darwin’s time were more imaginative.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）Interruptions（干扰，中断）are one of the worst things to deal with while you’re trying to get work done. 36 , there are several ways to handle things. Let’s take a look at them now.37 . Tell the person you’re sorry and explain that you have a million things t o do and then ask if the two of you can talk at a different time.When people try to interrupt you, have set hours planned and let them know to come back during that time or that you’ll find them then.38 .It can help to eliminate(消除) future interruptions.When you need to talk to someone, don’t do it in your own office.39 .it’s much easier toexcuse yourself to get back to your work than if you try to get someone out of your space even after explaining how busy you are。
