Reading prehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Surprising new research suggests it can actually be good to feel bad at work, and that feeling good in the workplace can lead to negative outes.The study of emotions in the workplace, edited by University of Liverpool researchers Drs. Dirk Lindebaum and Peter Jordan, is the 51 of a Special Issue of the journal Human Relations.They found that the 52 held assumption that positivity in the workplace produces positive outes, while negative emotions lead to negative outes, may be in need for 53 . This is partly due to this assumption 54 to take into account the differences in work contexts which effect outes.For instance, anger does not always lead to negative outes and can be used as a force for good through acting upon injustices. In some 55 , anger can be considered a force for good if motivated by perceived violations(违背)of moral standards. An employee, for example, could express anger constructively after a manager has treated a fellow worker 56 . In such cases, anger can be useful to 57 these acts of injustice from repeating themselves in the future.Likewise, being too positive in the workplace, 58 resulting in greater well-being and greater productivity, can lead to self-satisfaction and superficiality(肤浅).One article within the issue also finds that, within team situations, negativity can have a good effect, leading to less 59 and therefore greater discussion among workers which 60 team effectiveness.An interesting contradiction(矛盾) is identified in another study of the special issue. Here, people gain 61 from doing “good” in the context of helplines by providing support to people in times of emotional distress. 62 , they are negatively affected by their line of work due to people trying to avoid them in social situations.Lindebaum sai d, “The findings of the studies published in this Special Issue63 the widely held assumption that in the workplace positive emotions 64 a positive oute, and vice verse. This Special Issue adds to our knowledge and understanding of how the positive and negative emotions affect the 65 environment and has practical application and relevance in the workplace.”51.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read(A)The term “resume”means a document describing one’s educational qualitifications and professional experience. However guidelines for preparing a global resume are constantly changing. The best advice is to find out what is appropriate regarding the pany culture, the country culture, and the culture of the person making the hiring decision. The following list is a good place to start.* In many countries, it is standard procedure to attach a photo or have your photo printed on your resume. Do not attach a photograph to your resume if you are sending it to the United States, though.* Educational requirements differ from country to country. In most case of “cross-border”job hunting, just stating the title of your degree will not be enough. Provide the reader with details about your studies and any related experience.* Pay attention to the resume format(格式) you use--chronological(时间的) or revers-chronological order. If you find no specific guidelines, the general preference is for the revers-chronological format,which means listing your current or most recent experience first.* The level of puter technology and accessibility to the Internet varies from country to country. Even if a pany or individual lists an e-mail address, there is no guarantee that they will actually receive your email. Send a paper copy of your resume , as well as the emailed copy, just to make sure that it is received.* If you are writing your resume in English, find out if the receiver uses British English or American English because there are variations between the two versions.* Although English is widely accepted today as being the universal language of business, most multinational panies will expect you to speak the language of one of the countries in which they do business, in addition to English. Have your resume prepared in both languages, and be ready for your interview to be conducted in both languages. Most panies will want to see and hear proof of your language skills.* Be aware that paper sizes are different countries. The United States standard is 81/2 by 11 inches, while the European A4 standard is 21 by 29.7 centimeters.When you send your resume by email, reformat it to the receiver’s standard. Otherwise, when it is printed out,half of your material may be missing.66. The passage is most probably intended for ______ .A. Job hunters that seek careers abroadB. panies that do international businessC. People that are employed by panies overseasD. Graduates that can speak over one foreign language67. Which of the following is always advisable when a global resume is prepared according to the passage ?A. Write it in American English.B. Prepare it in at least three languagesC. Attach or print your photo on it.D. Send both a paper and emailed copy.68. From the passage, we learn that ______.A. We can’t list the oldest experience first in a resumeB. Asian countries may have the same standard paper sizeC. A resume can help us know about a person’s personalityD. A person’s educational background should be included in a resume69. The passage mainly wants to tell us that a global resume should ______.A. Be highly professionalB. Be especially informativeC. Be culturally appropriateD. Be logically chronological(B)70. On December 25th, xx, the first coach from Heathrow Terminal 1 to Reading departs______.A. 7:15.B. 7:00.C. 6:50.D. 6:35.71.

Buy their tickets on the busC. Buy the tickets onlineD. Buy their tickets in advance(C)Researchers are reporting the first treatment to speed recovery from severe brain injuries caused by falls and car crashes: a cheap flu medicine--amantadine, whose side benefits were discovered by accident decades ago.Severely injured patients in the United States, Denmark and Germany who were given amantadine got better faster than those who received another medicine. After four weeks, more people in the flu drug group could give reliable yes-and-no answers, follow mands or use a spoon or hairbrush--things that none of them could do at the start. Far fewer patients who got amantadine remained in a vegetative state, 17 percent versus32 percent.“This drug moved the needle in terms of speeding patient recovery, and that’s not been shown before,” said neuropsychologist(神经心理学家) Joseph Giacino of Boston’s Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, co-leader of study. He added:“It really does provide hope for a population that is viewed in many places as hopeless.”Many doctors began using amantadine for brain injures years ago, but until now there’s never been a big study to show that it works. The results of the federally(联邦地) funded study appear in Thursday’s New England Journal of Medicine.A neuropsychologist(神经心理学家) who wasn’t involved in the research called it an important step. But many questions remain, including whether people less severely injured would benefit, and whether amantadine actually improves patients’long-term oute or just speeds up their recovery.Each year, an estimated 1.7 million American suffer a brain injury. With no proven treatment to rely on, doctors have used a variety of medicines approved for other disease in the hopes that they would help brain injury patients. Those decisions are based on “guesses and logic rather than data” said Dr. John Whyte, of the Moss Rehabilitation Research Institute in suburban Philadelphia. He led the study along with Giacino.Amantadine, an inexpensive medicine, was approved for the flu in the mid-1960s. The first hint that it might have other uses came a few years later when it appeared to improve Parkinson’s symptoms in nursing home patients. It was found to have an effect on the brain’s doparmine system(多巴胺系统), whose function include movement and alertness, and it was later approved for Parkinson’s.It’s now monly used for brain injuries, and the researchers felt it was important to find out “whether we’re treating patients with a useful drug, a harmful drug or a useless drug,” Whyte said.74. According to Paragraph 1, the patients in a vegetative state may be those who ______.A. Can follow simple ordersB. Recover faster than expectedC. Can’t breathe on their ownD. Show no sign of brain activities75. According to the passage, Amantadine is a medicine that ______.A. Is useful for flu onlyB. Is aimed to improve memoryC. Speeds up brain injury recoveryD. Benefits patients’brain injuries in the long run76. The aim of the study led by Giacino and Whyte is to ______.A. Get enough fund from the federal governmentB. Prove the effect of Amantadine on brain injuriesC. Publish its results in New England Journal of MedicineD. Provide hope for patients considered hopeless in the past77. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage ?A. Old Drug,Proven Side BenefitB. Medical Study, New DiscoveryC. Severe Brain Injury, Quick RecoveryD. Different Treatment, Obvious Effect Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or plete the statements in the fewest possible words.Defenders of the French language are angered by plans to introduce courses taught in English at public universities, arguing that France must protect itself against the risk of losing its cultural identity.The French Parliament recently started to debate the issue as part of a bill on a broader reform of higher education, but all attention has focused on an article that would lift a 19-year ban on English as a teaching language at public universities.The French government backs the change, which it says would help to attract foreign students and help French graduates pete in a global economy as the country struggles to regain petitiveness. More French students fearing poor job prospects at home, where youth unemployment is nearly 25 percent, are studying and working abroad. One of their destinations is London, which now has bee the sixth largest French population in the world.However, opponents of the law, including professors, lawmakers and the French language supervision body Academic France, say the munity of other French-speaking peoples must be defended and that the change would be a betrayal of other French-speaking nations."If France gives other French-speaking countries the wrong signal by leading an assault against the language, that would be a very, very regrettable thing indeed," said Claude Hagege, a language scientist.France has long defended its culture at home and abroad. In 1994, the so-called " Toubon Law" made the use of French mandatory in all TV broadcasts, meaning all foreign-language programs are dubbed, while radio stations must play at least 40 percent of French music for most of the day.Business leaders criticize France's low ranking for English proficiency(熟练度）- it placed 23rd in a xx global ranking published by education pany Education First - even though the use of English has grown, notably in academic circles.Higher Education Minister Genevieve Fioraso said offering English would increase the appeal of French universities at a time when they are falling further behind in international rankings. In a 2011-xx survey by Britain's Times newspaper, the highest-ranked French university is in 59th position. Private business schools where English is taught rank higher.(Note: Answer the questions or plete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)78. What does “the change” in Paragraph 3 refer to ?79. Some people are against the change because they think it would_____________________.80. According to “Toubon Law” , what is a must for TV stations in France?81. Genevieve Fioraso thinks the release of the bill may help French universities __________.第Ⅱ卷 (共47分)I.

What is most important is where the criticism (批评) comes from.When creative professionals or participants received criticism from a boss or a peer, they tended tobe less creative in their later work. Interestingly, if a person received negative feedback from anemployee of lower rank, they became more creative.It makes sense that employees might feel threatened by criticism from their managers. Supervisors(监督员；管理者）have a lot of power in deciding promotions or pay raises. So negative feedbackfrom a boss mi运it cause career (职业) anxiety. It also stands to reason that feedback from aco-worker might also be received as threatening. We often compete with our peers for the samepromotions and chances.What Kim found most surprising was how criticism proved to improve supervisors throughlessons learned from negative feedback that came from their followers (employees that theymanage).“But we tend to believe we shouldn’t criticize the boss，”says Kim. “In reality，mostsupervisors don’t detest negative feedback since they want to learn from it. Another reason is thatthey are in a natural power position and can deal with the discomfort of negative feedback better.As for giving suggestions to employees，bosses should point out a follower’s poor performance or weak points in time. But they should keep their feedback specific to tasks. Explain how the point discussing relates to only their task behavior, not to aspects of the person.

Understand.C. Discuss.D. Provide.CRecently according to a new research，humans have had a link to starches (含淀粉的食物) for upto 120,000 years —that’s more than 100,000 years longer than we’ve been able to plant them inthe soil during the time of the Ice Age’s drawing to an end. The research is part of an ongoing study into the history of Middle Stone Age communities.An international team of scientists identified evidence of prehistoric starch consumption in theKlasies River Cave, in present-day South Africa. Analyzing small, ashy, undisturbed hearths (壁炉）inside the cave, the re-searchers found “pieces of burned starches”ranging from around 120,000to 65,000 years old. It made them the oldest known examples of starches eaten by humans.The findings do not come as a complete surprise —but rather as welcome confirmation of oldertheories that lacked the related evidence. The lead author Cynthia Larbey said that there had previously only been genetic (基因的) biological evidence to suggest that humans had been eatingstarch for this long. This new evidence, however, takes us directly to the dinner table, and supportsthe previous assumption that humans，digestion genes gradually evolved in order to fit into anincreased digestion of starch.Co-author Sarah Wurz said, “The starch remains show that these early humans living in theKlasies River Cave could battle against their tough environment and find suitable foods andperhaps medicines. And as much as we all still desire the tubers (块茎），these cave communitieswere grilling starches such as potatoes on their foot-long hearths. They knew how to balance theirdiets as well as they could, with fats from local fish and other animals.”As early as the 1990s, some researchers started to study the hearths in the Klasies River Cave.Scientist Hilary Deacon first suggested that these hearths contained burned plants. At the time, theproper methods of examining the remains were not yet available. We now know human beingshave always been searching for their desired things.8.When did humans begin to farm starches?A.After the Ice Age.B.After the Middle Stone Age.C.About 20,000 years ago.D.About 100,000 years ago.9.According to the scientists, remains in the Klasies River Cave show thatA.South Africa once had rich soil to grow cropsB.hearths were widespread in early human historyC.early humans possibly drove away animals by fireD.settlers there might have used fire to cook starches10.What was the previous assumption of starches?A.Starch diet promoted food culture.B.Starch diet shaped humans’ evolution.C.Starches had a variety of functions.D.Starches offered humans rich nutrition.11.What can we learn about the early humans described by Sarah Wurz?A. They were smart and tough.B.They preferred plants to meat.C.They were generally very healthy.D.They got along with each other.DEveryone knows that to help lessen the ongoing climate crisis, we need to plant new trees. A paperrecently published in Science predicts that our Earth could support an additional 9,000,000 sq kmof forest, potentially hosting 500 billion trees that are able to absorb more than 200 billion tonnesof C〇2. It would be a serious help.冰川）The Earth’s land is 149,000,000 sq km. According to our study, when we take out glaciers (and deserts, we are left with 104,000,000 sq km. When we further take out cities, freshwater,forests, etc., we finally get 51,000,000 sq km of arable (适于耕种的）land badly needed to feed7.5 billion human beings.Very few people are aware of the great complexity of the whole system. “Widespread use at thescale of millions of square kilometers globally of tree-planting and bioenergy crops (用于制造生物能源的农作物）planting,” reads an IPCC report, u could have potentially bad consequences forfood security and land degradation (退化).” In other words, more widespread monoculture (单一栽培) and more bioenergy crops could degrade soil.Bioenergy now has a 50 per cent share of the world’s renewable energy consumption, according to，but“as much as wind, solar and all others combined”. It’s good newsexpert Fatih Birol’s words:not entirely. One reason is that rising ocean levels and deserts spreading are taking away morearable land. So we arrive at a tough choice. Should we use our spare soil for agriculture,reforestation or bioenergy?Firstly, when planning to use lots of spare land to grow trees, we should notice that last year,36,000 sq km of forest was cut down. So wouldn’t it be better to start by stopping cutting downforests altogether? Besides, animal farming takes up 77 per cent of the world’s arable land and provides us with 18 per cent of the calories. Shouldn’t we globally cut back on meat consumption? Lastly, modem bioenergy, which is made from non-food-crops, is already available. Shouldn’t we avoid first-generation biofuels，which are obtained from food crops?12.What does the Science paper predict?A.People will be more active in planting trees.B.The climate change will lessen in the future.rge quantities of trees can help handle C02.D.Trees will play a much bigger role in our daily life.13.What are the figures in Paragraph 2 mainly intended to show?A.Humans face a freshwater crisis.B.The Earths land has various functions.C.Forests take up a small part of the Earth’s land.D.The arable land is hard to feed the world’s population.14.What can be inferred from the IPCC report?A.Planting trees benefits bioenergy crops.B.More land can be used for growing bioenergy crops.C.The condition of plenty of land has been improved.rge scale of tree-planting may be a double-edged sword.15.What’s the last paragraph mainly about?A.How to properly use our spare soil.B.How to produce more trees and biofuels.C.Why to protect our environment.D.What to know about our role in nature.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

ADo you know the toys below? They were once among the most popular toys.1960 — Etch A SketchFrench electrician Andre Cassagnes had the idea of a drawing toy with a joy stick, a glass screen, and aluminum (铝) powder. Using that idea, the Ohio Art Co. launched (推出) the Magic Screen in 1960, and you could erase the picture with a shake of your hands. You can still find the toy today.1964 — SuperBallWhat happens when you accidentally create a plastic ball that jumps? The toy company, Wham-O Inc., buys your idea and it ends up selling millions. That’s exactly what happened to Norman Stingley, a chemical engineer who came upon SuperBall. At one time, Wham-O had to produce over 170,000 balls a day to keep up with the demand. Unbelievably, the National Football Game named the Super Bowl game (a well-known American football game) after this jumping ball. 1964 — G.I. JoeIn 1964, Hasbro toy company created G.I. Joe, a line of action figures designed to represent the 4 branches of the US Armed Forces —Action Soldier (Army), Action Sailor (Navy), Action Pilot (Air Force), and the Action Marine (Marine Corps). G.I. Joe was imagined as an excellent military unit devoted to defending citizens’ freedom against the evil persons. It has attracted the imagination of boys around the world.1965 — OperationAn unsteady hand is your downfall (败落的原因) in the game of Operation, which was invented by John Spinello, a student at the University of Illinois. Later, Spinello sold his right to the toy to a well-known toy designer Marvin Glass for a sum of $500. Operation is currently made by Hasbro, with estimated sales of $40 million.1.
