Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Today I'd like to give you some information about this year's Motor Show in our town. It will be returning to Eastbrook this July, and if you thought last year's show was good, you're going to love the show this year. It will be held from 7th of July to 11th.?This year the Motor Show will not be on the Park School Field where it was last year, but will take place on the Three Trees Show Ground.?There will be more space for parking.

You will also get the chance to meet some of the top people in the motor industry. Jade Tyler, a host of the television show Fast Dri v er, will be signing copies of his new book, Speed King, while race car driver Michael Boreman will be attending and giving out signed photographs.?

If you are thinking that the Eastbrook Motor Show is just for men, and has nothing for the ladies, think again. There will be lots of stands selling gifts, jewelry and clothes, and also a chance to win a beautiful sports car especially designed for female drivers.?All you have to do is guess the number of bears in the car. So you wouldn't want to miss that, would you?

I always dreamed of studying abroad, to learn at a world-class university while further exploring the grounds on which these nations achieved new milestones of development with each passing day.

To study abroad after my graduation, I could not stop seeking my dream. To take the first step, I did some brainstorming and explored opportunities on the Internet and finally decided to go for China. There were a number of reasons behind it—its advanced education system and thousands of centuries of rich culture inspired me to study there. The primary one was my curiosity how a nation has left many nations behind in a short time at its fast pace of development.

So just like that, I applied, along with some of my friends, for a master's degree program at Communication University of China. I was the only one who got selected in the said program and in addition, the Chinese Scholarship Council sponsored all of my expenses. This good news was welcomed by my family.

This is my seventh month in Beijing. In my experience so far, one thing that appeared to be missing was the internship (实习) which I tried to find because I want to work here after completion of my studies. After some struggles I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to work as an intern with the Center for China and Globalization(CCG). It's very exciting to work on their team as a researcher. Now I can proudly say that my decision to choose China as a study destination was the best decision I have ever made.

When it's five o'clock, people leave their office. The length of the workday, for many workers, is defined by time. They leave when the clock tells them they're done.

These days, the time is everywhere: not just on clocks or watches, but on cell-phones and computers. That may be a bad thing, particularly at work. New research shows that clock-based work schedules hinder morale and creativity.

Clock-timers organize their day by blocks of minutes and hours. For example: a meeting from 9：00 a．m. to 10：00 a．m., research from 10：00 a．m.to noon, etc. On the other hand, task-timers have a list of things they want to accomplish. They work down the list, and each task starts when the previous task is completed. It is said that all of us employ a mix of both these types of planning.

What, then, are the effects of thinking about time in these different ways? Does one make us more productive? Better at the tasks at hand? Happier? In experiments conducted by Tamar Avnet and Anne-Laure Sellier, they had participants organize different activities—from project planning, holiday shopping, to yoga—by time or to-do list to measure how they performed under “clock time” vs “task time”. They found clock-timers to be more efficient but less happy because they felt little control over their lives. Task-timers are happier and more creative, but less productive. They tend to enjoy the moment when something good is happening, and seize opportunities that come up.

The researchers argue that task-based organizing tends to be undervalued and under -supported in the business culture. Smart companies, they believe, will try to bake more task-based planning into their strategies.

This might be a small change to the way we view work and the office, but the researchers argue that it challenges a widespread characteristic of the economy: work organized by clock time. While most people will still probably need, and be, to some extent, clock-timers, task-based timing should be used when performing a job that requires more creativity. It'll make those tasks easier, and the task-doers will be happier.

【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了基于时间的时间表以及基于任务的时间表，并通过研究发现它们的优缺点。

28．What does the author think of time displayed everywhere?

A．It makes everybody aware of time.

B．It is a convenience for work and life.

C．It may have a negative effect on creative work.

29．What did Tamar Avnet and Anne-Laure Sellier find in their experiments about clock-timers?

A．They seize opportunities as they come up.

B．They always get their work done in time.

D．They tend to be more productive.

D解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中的“They found clock-timers to be more efficient but less happy because they felt little control over their lives. Task-timers are happier and more creative, but less productive.”可知，task-timers没有什么创造力，这正是clock-timers所具有的。故选D。

30．What do the researchers say about today's business culture?

B．It does not attach enough importance to task-based practice.

C．It places more emphasis on work efficiency than on workers' lives.

D．It aims to bring employees' potential and creativity into full play.

31．What do the researchers suggest?

A．Task-based timing is preferred for doing creative work.

B．It is important to keep a balance between work and life.

C．Performing creative jobs tends to make workers happier.

D．A scientific standard should be adopted in job evaluation.

A解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“While most people will still probably need, and be, to some extent, clock-timers, task-based timing should be used when performing a job that requires more creativity.”可知，研究者建议当做需要更多创造力的工作时，应该使用基于任务的时间分配方案。故选A。

D

The science fiction type of entertainment is considered by most to be fathered by Jules Verne A Journey to the Center of the Earth and T w enty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea and H. G. Wells The Time Machine and The War of the Worlds. Sei-Fi, as it is commonly shortened, is a fictional story in which science and technology have a significant influence on the characters and plot. Many such works are guesswork about what the future holds and how scientific findings and technological advances will shape humankind.

Writing in the late 1800s, Jules Verne was remarkably successful in his 10 guesses about future technologies of air-conditioning, automobiles, the Internet, television, and underwater, air, and space travel. Unbelievably, of all places from which to choose, Jules Verne guessed Tampa, Florida, USA as the launching site of the first project to the Moon, which was only 200 kilometers away from the actual 1969 location at Cape Canaveral, Florida.

One of the best-known science fiction books is Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell. Published in 1949, it was not meant as a prediction, but as a warning: Orwell was describing what he saw as the outcome of the ideas, trends, and emerging technologies of his time. Many invented terms from this novel have become common in everyday use, such as “big brother”and “doublethink”. Even the author's name has been made into an adjective—Orwellian—and has become a warning descriptor for situations where privacy is lost and the individual has no power and is completely controlled by the government. Nineteen Eighty-Four was translated into sixty-five languages within five years of its publication, setting a record that still stands.

What helps bring science fiction into being is usually a new discovery or innovation. The author creates an analysis of the potential influence and consequences and then wraps it in a pleasant story. For example, the beginning of space exploration

was followed a few years later by the Star Trek television program and movie series. The science fiction author's self-determined role is search the world of future possibilities upon the road which we are traveling.

【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了过去的几部科幻小说对现在的预测和影响。

32．From the first paragraph, we know that science fiction might be ________．A．a forecast of how a new discovery could influence mankind

B．a brief review of the present drawbacks of technology

C．a thoughtful look at the past and a prediction of the future

D．an analysis of how a new technology could be used to harm human

A解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Many such works are guesswork about what the future holds and how scientific findings and technological advances will shape humankind.”可知，科幻小说主要是对现在的预测和影响，故选A。

33．Which of the following best describes Nineteen Eighty-Four?

A．A prediction of future technologies.

B．A warning of unfair and cruel ruling.

C．The motive of scientific development.

D．An imaginary perfect world of freedom.

B解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“it was not meant as a prediction, but as a warning”以及“Even the author's name has been made into an adjective—Orwellian—and has become a warning descriptor for situations where privacy is lost and the individual has no power and is completely controlled by the government.”可知，这部小说是对社会上的不公平和残酷制度的一种警告，故选B。

34．From the passage we can learn that ________．

A．H.G. Wells predicted the Internet in the late 1800s

B．Nineteen Eighty-Four adopted some popular terms

C．Star Trek movie series were based on space exploration

D．Cape Canaveral was mentioned in Jules Verne's fiction

C解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“For example, the beginning of space exploration was followed a few years later by the Star Trek television program and movie

series.”可知，《星际迷航》系列就是以太空探险为原型的，故选C。

C．A record of science development.

D．A form of thinking about possibilities.

第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)

阅读下面的短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

When we think about happiness, we usually think of something extraordinary, a pinnacle (顶点) of sheer (纯粹的) delight. And those pinnacles seem to get rarer the older we get. 36.________ I remember playing police and robbers in the woods, getting a speaking part in the school play. Of course, kids also experience lows, but their delight at such peaks of pleasure as winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved. For teenagers, or people under 20 the concept of happiness changes. 37.________ I can still feel the pain of not being invited to a party that almost everyone else was going to. I also remember the great happiness of being invited at another event to dance with a very handsome young man. In adulthood the things that bring great joy—birth, love, marriage—also bring responsibility and the risk of loss. 38.________ For adults, happiness is complex. 39.________ But I think a better definition of happiness is“the ability to enjoy something”. The more we can enjoy what we have, the happier we are. It's easy to overlook the pleasure we get from loving and being loved, the company of friends, the freedom to live where we please, even good health. While happiness may be more complex for us, the solution is the same as ever. Happiness isn't about what happens to us; it's the ability to find a positive for every negative, and view a difficulty as a challenge. 40.________

A．Love may not last; loved ones die.

B．For a child, happiness has a magic quality.

C．Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life.

D．Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect.

E．The dictionary defines “happy”as “lucky”or “fortunate”．

F．It's not wishing for what we don't have, but enjoying what we do possess.

G．Suddenly it's conditional on such things as excitement, love, and popularity.

【解题导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过自己的经历告诉我们什么是真正的幸福，我们应该如何获得自己想要的幸福。

36．B解析：根据后文“Of course, kids also experience lows”孩子也经历情绪低落。可知，孩子也会体会到幸福。故B项“对于一个孩子来说，幸福有一种神奇的品质。”符合语境。故选B。

37．G解析：根据后文“I can still feel the pain of not being invited to a party that almost everyone else was going to.”可知，作者因没有被邀请参加几乎所有人都要去的聚会而痛苦。因此推断兴奋、爱和快乐是有条件的。故选G。

38．A解析：根据前文“In adulthood the things that bring great joy—birth, love, marriage—also bring responsibility and the risk of loss.”可知，在成年后，带来巨大欢乐的事物——生育、爱情、婚姻——也会带来责任和失去的风险，因此推断爱或许不会持久，所爱的人会死去。故选A。

39．E解析：根据后文“But I think a better definition of happiness is ‘the ability to enjoy something’．”可知，作者认为幸福更好的定义是“享受某物的能力”，说明前面是指幸福的定义。故E项“字典把‘幸福’定义为‘lucky’或‘fortunate’。”符合语境，故选E。

40．F解析：根据前文可知，幸福不是发生在我们身上的事，而是为每一个消极的人找到积极的一面，将困难视为挑战的能力。因此推断，幸福不是期待我们没有的东西，而是享受我们拥有的东西。故选F。
