So you want to draw money from a bank? Do it yourself. Want to fix a broadband internet connection? Do it yourself. Need a boarding card for your flight? Do it yourself. In theory, companies can save money by replacing human workers with automated self-service systems, while customers gain more choices and control and get quicker service. There is even talk of self-service doing for the service department what mass production did for factories, by enabling the delivery of services cheaply and on a massive scale. Surely the expansion of self-service into more and more areas is to be welcomed?Not necessarily. When it is done well, self-service can do good to both companies and customers. But when done badly—who has not found themselves trapped in a series of endless touch—tone menus? In areas where self-service is only just started, this is less of a problem: angry customers can after all, always take their business elsewhere. But if every bank were to prefer self-service systems, customers would no longer be able to express their discount by voting with their feet. As a result, some banks, for example, already promise that their telephone-banking services always offer the choice of talking to a human operator. But in return for human service, many companies will simply charge more.Another disagreement to self-service is that while it saves companies money, it does not always save their customers’ time. In the best cases, it does, of course: che cking yourself in at the airport can be quicker than queuing or making a phone call. But as more and more tasks are on to customers, they may start to hope for the days of old-fashioned service.All of this suggests that there are limits to how far self-service can be taken. Companies that go too far down the self-service route or to do it incorrectly are likely to find themselves being punished. Instead, a balance between self-service and traditional forms of service is necessary. 1．From this passage, we can see that the writer the use of self-service technology.A. dislikesB. supportsC. thinks highly ofD. makes carefully judgment on2．What advantages does the self-service technology certainly bring?A. Cutting the cost for the companies.B. Saving money for customers.C. Offering customers extra money.D. Defeating the traditional forms of service.3．What does the w riter mean by saying “customers would no longer be able to express their discount by voting with their feet”?A. customers would be so angry that they kick and damage the machine providing self-service.B. customers would not be able to express their anger at the bank’s service by leaving thereC. customers would try their best to persuade the bank to stop self-service.D. customers would elect some leaders to have a talk with the bank..4．Which of the following statements does the writer agree to?A. Banks should supply self-service and traditional forms of service as well.B. Self-service in banks has so many week points and should be stopped.C. Self-service can bring about many conveniences and should be supported.D. Banks don’t consider customers’ needs in their business.1、答案解析：答案为D。

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
Most musicians agree that the best violins were made in Italy. They were made in Cremona, Italy, about 200 years ago. These violins sound better than any others. They even sound better than violins made today. Violin makers and scientists try to make instruments like the old Italian violins. But they aren’t the same. Musicians still prefer the old ones. No one really knows why these old Italian violins are so special, but many people think they have an answer.Some people think it is the age of the violins. They say that today’s violins will also sound wonderful someday. But there is a problem here. Not all old violins sound wonderful. Only those from Cremona are special. So age cannot be the answer. There must be something different about Cremona or those Italian violins makers.Other people think the secret to those violins is wood. The wood of the violin is very important. It must be from certain kinds of the trees. It must not be too young or too old. Perhaps the violin makers of Cremona knew something special about wood for violins.But the kind of wood may not be so important. It may be more important to cut the wood in a special way. Wood for a violin must be cut very carefully. It has to be the right size and shape. The smallest difference will change the sound of the violin. Musicians sometimes think that this was the secret of the Italians. Maybe they understood more than we do about how to cut the wood.Size and shape may not be the answer either. Scientists measured these old violins very carefully. They can make new ones that are exactly the same size and shape. But the new violins still do not sound as good as the old ones. Some scientists think the secret may be the varnish, which covers the wood of the violin and makes it look shiny. It also helps the sound of the instrument. No one knows what the Italian violin makers used in their varnish. So no one can make the same varnish today.There may never be other violins like the violins of Cremona. Their secret may be lost forever. Young musicians today hope this is not true. They need fine violins. But there aren’t very many of the old violins left. Also, the old violins are very expensive. Recently, a famous old Italian violin was sold for about US$300,000!1. This passage is about .A. making violinsB. musical instrumentsC. scientific ideasD. the old Italian voilins2. The best violins .A. are made with modern techniquesB. were lost many years agoC. were made in Italy 200 years agoD. were made by scientists3. Some people think that modern violins .A. will sound better in the futureB. will sound worse in the futureC. sound wonderful and naturalD. will never be as old as those from Cremona4. Violins made today .A. look the same as the old onesB. sound the same as the old onesC. are better than the old onesD. have the same varnish as the old ones1、答案解析：答案为D。

For ten years Jo Eddings felt that she had been banging her head against a brick wall. “I can’t describe my frustration. I felt so helpless,” she says. “What I wanted was the help with my very bright daughter who had a problem with language.”She was slow to learn to talk and at 9 her reading and writing were still poor.“We took her to psychologists and all sorts of experts, but for years nobody seemed to be able to give us a proper diagnosis or know what to do.” But that changed this month when she heard a radio program about an exhibition called Genes Talking at the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) in London. It was about a research project to discover a gene lined with a condition known as specific language impairment. “As soon as I heard it I knew that this was what I’d been looking for,”she says. “I wasn’t alone; I wasn’t mad. There was someone who understood my daughter.”SLI covers speech and grammar problems suffered by children, the most familiar of which is dyslexia (诵读困难). About 8 percent of children are recognized as dyslexic. But a similar number may be suffering from other forms of SLI and are not recognized. The condition is the failure of different parts of the brain to deal with speech and language, and different failures manifest (表明) themselves in different ways.The scientist involved in the ICA project was Professor Heather van der Leiy, the director of the Centre for Developmental Language Disorders and Cognitive Neuroscience at University College London, and a leading expert on SLI. “If we can find a genetic link, it will provide the kind of hard evidence that this is a genuine problem, which is needed if we are to cure the disease,” she says.1. The underlined part in the first paragraph probably means Jo Eddings couldn’t _____.A. understand her daughter and was very sadB. help her daughter out of trouble and felt helplessC. afford to treat her daughter’s disease and felt sadD. find where to treat her daughter’s disease and felt ashamed2. Jo Eddings was pleased when she _______.A. visited and exhibition called Genes TalkingB. heard a radio program about an exhibitionC. discovered a gene linked with her daughter’s problemD. was given a proper diagnosis of her daughter’s illness.3.

Dyslexia is an unknown problem among the public.C. “SLI” stands for Specific Language Impairment.D. Jo Eddings’ daughter’s illness was cured at last.4. On which column can we read the above passage in a newspaper?A. Education News.B. Health News.C. Business News.D. Economy News.1、答案解析：答案为B。

The seventh game of any play-off is always special, win or lose, it always has an edge-of-your-seat, heart-in-your-throat intensity unlike any other.

Maybe that’s because I know I am going to have fun whenever I put then on.We t alk so much about winning in sports. But if you are the kind of kid who is happy only when their team wins , then sports will let you down. After all, no team or player wins all the time.But if you can learn to enjoy the parts of sports that have nothing to do with winning or losing---thefeel of a favorite bat or stick in your hand, or how your heartbeats when you put on your uniformand run onto the field ---then sports will always be fun.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
Recognized as the largest desert in the world, the Sahara runs across North Africa, Covering over 3 million square miles from the Atlantic Coast to the Nile River Valley. Except for an occasional oasis(绿洲), this vast land is mainly made up of sand, stones, and worn out mountains. The burning sun causes daytime temperatures to rise to 70 degrees in the shade, and days without rain commonly last for years.Paintings found on the walls of caves in the Sahara Desert suggest that a few thousand years ago, large quantities of plants grew there and covered the desert floor. Many curious and unusual insects, birds and animals got enough food that allowed them to grow and reproduce. At that time, huge river systems and many oases supported growing communities(社团，社区) where a large number of people lived.Research scientists believe that the land became a desert for several reasons. For centuries people there have wandered from place to place in search of food, water and grazing(吃草)land for their animals. These people have always considered the number of animals they have as a sign of wealth. It is considered more important to have 100 sick and starving animals than 15 healthy ones. The large herds (群)have been allowed to go freely and graze on desert plants and grass. Over time, large sections of land have been left uncovered. In addition to allowing overgrazing, these people cut down whatever trees they could find and used them for firewood. The sand was unable to hold on to the great heat of the day, so nightting temperatures often drop below freezing and nothing was left to hold the soil together.Scientists have been studying different ways to bring back the green desert. Through research and experiments, they hope to be able to produce plants that will once again support the life there. Huge holes filled with much water lie under the desert surface. Scientists believe this rainwater simply flew down through the sand over hundreds of years and collected in the big, rocky holding tanks. By making use of the sun’s power, scientists in the Sahara have made experiments in which they got huge amount of electricity. This electricity was then used to operate drilling machines and pumps to pull the rainwater from the underground tanks. By drilling the hole one mile deep into the floor of the desert, one machine was able to recover more than 80 gallons of ice—cold water each second, or 288,000 gallons per hour.Scientists have had some success turning this wasteland into useful farmland. Today the desert is dotted with huge wheat fields watered by a system of pipes that carry water from the underground tanks. Farmers have also learnt that plants grow better if seeds are planted next to stones. Studies show that stones provide protection from the sun, allowing seeds to grow in a shady and cool environment. In addition to that, greenhouses have been built to protect plants from the sunshine so that less water is needed. Another idea is to grow plants that can live on a diet of salt water, since the ocean is so near to the desert.1. What will probably happen if the local people continue their customs and traditions?A. The desert will continue to be enlarged.B. Tourists will begin traveling to North Africa.C. More oases will begin to appear across the desert.D. The number of healthy animals will become larger.2. Which of the flowing statements is a fact presented in the passage?A. The desert is rich in beautiful color and scenery.B. Camels can go for days without drinking any water.C. The Sahara will one day become a beautiful garden.D. Large river systems once supported many communities.3. The author of the passage provides evidences (证据)that scientists are .A. pleased by the progress but do not have the money to continueB. discouraged by the poor results of their experimentsC. hopeful about the chances of life coming back to the desertD. troubled by the lack of water found underground4. Which of the following is the best summary of this passage?A. Drilling machines help to water the desert floor and make plants and animals alive. B．Scientists have been able to turn this large wasteland into a successful farming community.C. So much soil has become sand that the desert will never be able to support life as it once did.D. The desert no longer supports plenty of life, but researchers hope to change it with new scientific techniques.1、答案解析：答案为A。

AIt is obvious that doctors recognize obesity as a health problem. So why is it so hard for them to talk to their patients about it?The results of two surveys, one of primary care physicians and the other of patients, found that while most doctors want to helppatients lose weight and think it is their responsibility to do so, they often don’t know what to say.“So while doctors may tell patients they are overweight, the convers ation often ends there,” said Christine C. Ferguson, director of the Stop Obesity Alliance. “Patients are not told about the possibility of diabetes (a kind of disease),” she said. “And doctors don’t feel they have good information to give. They felt that they didn’t have adequate tools to address this problem.The lack of dialogue hurts patients, too. The patient survey, of over 1,000 adults, found that most overweight patients don’t even know that they’re too heavy. Only 39 percent of overweight people surveyed had ever been told by a health care provider that they were overweight.Of those who were told they were obese, 90 percent were alsotold by their doctors to lose weight, the survey found. In fact most have tried to lose weight and may have been successful in the past—and many are still trying, the survey found. And many understand that losing even a small amount of weight can have a positive impact on their health and reduce their risk of obesityrelated diseases like hypertension and diabetes.Dr. William Bestermann Jr., medical director of Holston Medical Group, in Kingsport, Tenn. , which ranks the 10th in obesity among metropolitan areas in the United States, said the dialogue had to be anongoing one and could not be dropped after just one mention of the problem. “If you’re to be successful with helping your patients lose weight, you have to talk to them at actually every visit about their progress, and find something to encourage them and coach them,” he said.He acknowledged that many doctors tend to be not optimistic.“Part of this is that there's this common belief, and doctors are burdened by it, too, that overweight people are weak-willed and just don’t have any willpower and are selfindulgent and all that business,” he said. “If you think that way, you’re not going to spend time having a productive conversation.”1. What is the Stop Obesity Alliance most probably in Paragraph 3?A. An organization of doctors specializing in obesity.B. An organization of patients suffering from obesity.C. A research group that conducts special surveys about overweight people.D. A research group dealing with doctor-patient relationship.2. How many of the patients surveyed have been advised by their doctors to lose weight?A. About 350.B. About 390.C. About 900.D. About 1,000.3. What can be inferred about obesity patients in Paragraph 5?A. They are not as hopeless as doctors think they are.B. Most of them have tried hard to lose weight, but in vain.C. Without their doct ors’ constant coaching, there is little chance of their succeeding in losing weight.D. Most of them have just given up their hope of becoming less heavy.4. According to the passage, which factor contributes to the lack of dialogue between doctors and patients?A. Most doctors just never think of warning their patients about their weight problem.B. Many doctors find it difficult to persuade overweight people to lose weight.C. Most patients are too weak-willed to do anything about their weight.D. Many patients tend not to trust their doctors about their weight problem.5. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. Obesity in the U. S.B. Trouble of overweight Americans.C. Talk more, help better.D. Doctors or patients-who to bear more blame?BThe cultural and natural values of Kakadu National Park were recognized internationally when the Park was placed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. This is an international register of properties that are recognized as having outstanding cultural or natural values of international significance. Kakadu is the largest national park in Australia and is the second largest national park in the world. Kakaduis a biological wonderland, which is almost 8,000 square miles. The wildlife in Kakadu National Park includes over 280 kinds of birds, 60 kinds of native mammals, 55 kinds of freshwater fish, thousands of insects, and many reptiles, the most famous of which is the salt-water crocodile. All life in the park depends on water.Kakadu is not only home to the wildlife but the area is also famous for the longest continuous human culture that exists in the world. Aborigines have been living in this area for at least 40,000 years. The descendants(后裔) of these First Australians still live in Kakadu today. Kakadu contains one of the longest continuous records of rock art in the world, with around 5,000 paintings, with rock sites dating back 25,000 years. More than 1,000 sites have been recorded. Kakadu has been given double World Heritage status by the United Nations. It is one of only 17 of the 469 World heritage Areas listed for both natural and cultural values.It is Australia’s largest national park, but it isn’t just the size that surprises visitors—it is the sense of something very old and grand. Creation of the 500 km escarpment (悬崖) began 2,000 million years ago. Today those gorges are filled with rainforests, washed by waterfalls.Kakadu is one of the world’s special places. It is hard to pick the ideal time to visit Kakadu. In the wet season large areas of the park are closed to the public. It would not be possible to enter or exit from the park through the Kakadu Highway. Most of the people there agree that the best time to visit is at the end of the dry season. Some areas of Kakadu have restricted visiting times, and some are not open to the general public. Over 230 000 tourists visit Kakadu National Park every year. As you enter Kakadu National Park, you will be required to buy a permit. Part of this money is paid to the Traditional Owners of the land and the rest is given to the repairs of the park.6. Why does the author mention so much wildlife in Paragraph 1?A. To represent the scene of the nature.B. To attract readers’ attention.C. To take the wildlife for example.D. To show the value of the park.7. Kakadu is given double World Heritage status by the United Nations because of _____.A. the descendants of these First Australians still in Kakadu todayB. the particular environment and the unusual rock artC. the longest continuous human culture that exists in the worldD. Aborigines living in this area for at least 40,000 years8. The followings are mentioned in the passage except _____.A. living things in KakaduB. the escarpment and the gorgesC. the history of the parkD. the weather of the area9. The underlined word gorges in Paragraph 3 means _____.A. narrow valleys between hills or mountainsB. buildings where cases are determinedC. large and open structures for sports eventsD. places where something is located10. What does the author advise visitors to do when they go to Kakadu?A. To get more information about the special place.B. To make a better choice between the wet and dry season.C. Not to enter the national park without permission.D. Not to go there through the Kakadu Highway.C(London)—If it really is what’s on the inside that counts, then a lot of thin people might be in trouble.Some doctors now think that the internal fat surrounding important organs like the heart or liver could be as dangerous as the external fat which can be noticed more easily.“Being thin doesn’t surely mean you are not fat,” said Dr Jimmy Bell at Imperial College. Since 1994, Bell and his team have scanned nearly 800 people with MRI machines to create “fat maps” showing where people store fat.According to the result, people who keep their weight through diet rather than exercise are likely to have major deposits of internal fat, even if they are slim.Even people with normal Body Mass Index scores can have surprising levels of fat deposits inside. Of the women, as many as 45 percent of those with normal BMI scores (20 to 25) actually had too high levels of internal fat. Among men, the percentage was nearly 60 percent.According to Bell, people who are fat on the inside are actually on the edge of being fat. They eat too many fatty and sugary foods, but they are not eating enough to be fat. Scientists believe we naturallystore fat around the belly first, but at some point, the body may start storing it elsewhere.Doctors are unsure about the exact dangers of internal fat, but some think it has something to do with heart disease and diabetes. They want to prove that internal fat damages the body’s communication systems.The good news is that internal fat can be easily burned off through exercise or even by improving your diet. “If you want to be healthy, there is no short cut. Exercise has to be an important part of your lifestyle,” Bell said.11. What is this piece of news mainly about?A. Thin people may be fat inside.B. Internal fat is of no importance.C. Internal fat leads to many diseases.D. Thin people also have troubles.12. Doctors have found _____.A. the exact dangers of internal fatB. internal fat is the cause of heart disease and diabetesC. being slim is not dangerous at allD. being slim doesn’t mean you are not fat inside13. According to the passage, which of the following is WRONG?A. Exercise can help to reduce the internal fat.B. People can get rid of internal fat by improving diet.C. Men are more likely to have too much internal fat.D. People with heart disease all have internal fat.14. From the last paragraph, we can find that _____.A. whether internal fat can lead to disease has been provedB. exercise plays in important role in people’s life for keeping healthyC. thin people usually have internal fat even if they are slimD. it is easier to burn off internal fat than external fat15. The underlined part in the last paragraph means _____.A. a long roadB. an easy wayC. a clear differenceD. a short distanceDFor years, there has been a bias(偏见)against science among clinical psychologists. In a two-year analysis to be published in November in Perspectives on Psychological Science, psychologists led by Timothy B. Baker of the University of Wisconsin charge that manyclinical psychologists fail to “provide the treatments for which there is the strongest evidence of effectiveness” and “give more weight to thei r personal experiences than to science.” As a result, patients have no guarantee that their “treatment will be informed by …science.” Walter Mischel of Columbia University is even crueler in his judgment. “The disconnect between what clinical psychologists do and what science has discovered is an extreme embarrassment,” he told me, and “there is a widening gap between clinical practice and science.”The “widening” reflects the great progress that psychological research has made in identifying the most effective treatments. Thanks to strict clinical trials, we now know that teaching patients to think about their thoughts in new, healthier ways and to act on those new ways of thinking are effective against depression, panic disorder and other problems, with multiple trials showing that these treatments—the tools of psychology—bring more lasting benefits than drugs.You wouldn’t know this if you sought help from a typicalclinical psychologist. Although many treatments are effective,relatively few psychologists learn or practice them.Why in the world not? For one thing, says Baker, clinical psychologists are “very doubtful about the role of science” and “lack solid science training”. Also, one third of patients get better no matter what treatment (if any) they have, “and psychologists rememberthese successes, believing, wrongly, that they are the result of the treatment.”When faced with evidence that treatments they offer are not supported by science, clinical psychologists argue that they know better than some study that works. A 2008 study of 591 psychologists in private practice found that they rely more on their own and colleagues’ experience than on science when deciding how to treat a patient. If they keep on this path as insurance companies demand evidence-based medicine, warns Mischel, psychology will “discredit itself.”16. Many clinical psychologists fail to provide the most effective treatments because _____.A. they are unfamiliar with their patientsB. they believe in science and evidenceC. they depend on their colleagues’ helpD. they rely on their personal experiences17. The widening gap between clinical practice and science is due to _____.A. the cruel judgment by Walter MischelB. the fact that most patients get better after being treatedC. the great progress that has been made in psychological researchD. the fact that patients prefer to take drugs rather than have other treatments18. How do clinical psychologists respond when charged thattheir treatments are not supported by science?A. They feel embarrassed.B. They try to defend themselves.C. They are disappointed.D. They doubt their treatments.19. In Mischel’s opinion, psychology will ______.A. destroy its own reputation if no improvement is madeB. develop faster with the support of insurance companiesC. work together with insurance companies to provide better treatmentD. become more reliable if insurance companies won’t demand evidence-based medicine20. What is the purpose of this passage?A. To show the writer’s disapproval of clinical psychologists.B. To inform the readers of the risks of psychological treatments.C. To explain the effectiveness of treatments by clinical psychologists.D. To introduce the latest progress of medical treatment in clinical psychology.参考答案1—5 BAABC 6—10 DBCAB11—15 ADDBB 16—20 DCBAA。

Tasha Tudor(August 28,1919—June 18,2008)was an American illustrator(插画家)and writer of children’s books.She received many awards and honors for her contributions to children’s literature.When people talk about her creativity in artwork,she said,“I do it to support my dogs and my four children.” Her great publishing record,the number of magazine stories that have been written about her over the years,and her admirers have no effects on her at all.Much of Tas ha’s artwork and her reading are done in the wintertime.“I love winter.It’s delightful,” she says.“I don’t have to go anywhere because I work at home.If I’m snowed in,I can stay this way for months.” She hopes for early,deep snow to protect her gar den from the hardship of the New England winter,and when it comes she puts on snowshoes when she needs to get down the mile-long dirt path that leads to the road.Given her enjoym ent of winter and her fantasy way of life,it’s not surprising that Tasha’s Ch ristmas is a storybook holiday.She hangs flowers over the front door.Her tree comes from the woods,and it goes up on Christmas Eve,lit by homemade candles and decorated with her great-grandmother’s collection that dates from 1850.In a place of honor on the tree are large cookies cut into the shapes of her animals.The grandchildren an d friends get presents from Tasha’s old dolls;so do the animals and they have their own Christmas tree.“Of course,it’s a known fact that all the animals talk on Christmas Eve,”she has written.Small,handmade gifts fill a big wooden box.At the end of each year,Tasha can look back and know that her life is perfect,that she has again ignored the twentieth century,and that the magic continues.And for the rest of us,here’s a bit of advice,Tasha says:“Nowadays,people are so restless.If they took some tea and spent more time rocking on the porch(门廊)in the evening listening to light music,they might enjoy life more.”【文章大意】本文主要讲述的是著名的儿童作家 Tasha Tudor 的人生理念以及她对生活及工作的看法。

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
Women, be on your guard. There is a new male excuse for not listening to us.A recent study shows that men find it almost impossible to listen to what women say because their brains are out of synch（不同步的）with "complex female tones".Apparently, when men listen to other men about the things they care about, they use only the frontal area of their brains. However, when they listen to women it's different story. They have to work much harder, employing a part of the brain that normally deals with music. So when a man tells you your voice is "music to his ears", he's actually telling the truth, though not in a good way.I'm sure a lot of women could recall times when they have wasted hours explaining why they are completely right about everything in the world, only to wake up the next day to discover that not one brilliant point got through.Those times when men haven't listened to me, I just thought I was being ignored. I didn't realize I just wasn't singing their favorite music. If I'd realized I was being heard as "music", I would have had a bit of fun with it. Whenever I wanted a "discussion", I'd have brought along my own band, complete with string and horn sections.It is difficult not to be suspicious of yet more scientific findings sparing men the blame because of their biology. Isn't this "slaves to biology" all-purpose excuse wearing thin? It's enough to make you wonder at what a strange helpless species men are ----which part of the body will be "beyond their control" next.Even if there is something in it, we have to take into account that most relationships are likely to become boring. That's the truth of the matter. Male or female, your voice might start out as music to your beloved's ears. But finally it will end up as boredom.When your beautiful tones are there all the time, as they go about their daily business, you start to blend in a bit too much, until finally you become a kind of background noise.1． The author of this passage tries to ___________.A. throw doubts on a commonly accepted ideaB. explain a commonly accepted idea as it isC. give some advice on a common problemD. argue against a common belief2．According to the new study, men don't listen to women because _________ .A. what women say are usually boringB. they don't care about what women sayC. they can't deal with female voicesD. they regard female voices as music3．The underlined sentence in the fifth paragraph shows that the author is _______.A. realisticB. humorousC. seriousD. funny4．What does the author think of the finding of the new study?A. She thinks it doubtful.B. She thinks it interesting.C. She thinks it needs further proof.D. She thinks it right.5．The author would most probably agree that ________.A. men should accept what women sayB. women should talk less and do more houseworkC. however beautiful voices may be, they will finally become boringD. the relationship between men and women should always be improving1、答案解析：答案为B。

广安市2017高考英语阅读理解一轮系列训练（83）【2016高考训练】阅读理解—推理判断题。
The word proactivity is fairly common in management literature, but you won｀t find it in the dictionary. It means that as a human being you take responsibility for your own life.Look at the word responsibility: ability to choose your response, response-ability. Effective people are proactive because they take responsibility. Their behavior is a product of their own decisions, based on values, rather than being a product of their own conditions, based on feelings. For instance, you are planning a picnic with your family. You｀re excited. You have all the preparations, You've decided where to go, and then it becomes stormy, killing your plan. Proactive people carry weather within them. They realize what their purpose really was, and they creatively have a picnic elsewhere even if it's in their own basement with some special games, and make the best of that situation. The opposite of being proactive is to be reactive. Reactive people would say, “What's the use?””We can't do anything.” “Oh this is so upsetting after all of our preparations and arrangements.” They try to persuade the people around them and usually the picnic will be cancelled.Being proactive is really just being true to your human nature. Your basic nature is to act, and not to be acted upon. That's true, despite widely accepted theories of determinism used to explain human nature. Determinism says that you don't really choose anything and that what you call choices are nothing more than automatic responses to outside conditions.The language of reacti ve people is lie:”I can't .” “Don't have time.”” I have to .” I must.” The whole spirit of that language is the transfer of responsibility. They think things are determined by their environment, or by their conditions, or by their conditioning or their genetic makeup. Psychologically, people who believe they are determined will produce the evidence to support the belief, and they increasingly feel victimized and out of control. They're not in charge of their life at all.On the contrary, a proactive person exercises free will, the freedom to choose the response that best applies to his values. In that way, he gains control over the circumstances, rather than being controlled by them.1.According to the passage, a proactive person's behavior can result from .A.The environmentB. an inner beliefC. the genetic makeupD. a temporary feeling2. When a picnic plan is threatened by a sudden storm, reactive people will probably .A. have the picnic as plannedB. make the best of the picnicC. complain and give up the picnicD. find somewhere else for the picnic3. What does” carry weather within them” in the second paragraph probably mean?A. Manage to improve the weather.B. Give in to the weather passively.C. Stress the influence of the weather.D. Find a solution to the weather problems.4. It can be concluded from the passage that determinists(宿命论者) .A. accept things passivelyB. are in charge of themselvesC. are similar to proactive peopleD. respond to outside conditions actively语篇解读本文主要介绍了积极的人和消极的的之间的区别，例如在遇到天气不好野餐计划搁浅的时候，积极的人会想办法进行野餐，而消极的人却由周围的环境左右其决定。

由第二段“Linguaphone will provide you with everything you need to learn at your own pace, where and when y ou choose. And, although you aren’t in a classroom, you certainly won’t be left all alone .”可知，Linguaphone课程可以让学习者根据自己的节奏、时间和地点学习，哪怕不是在教室，也不会是独自一人。

故C错误，D正确。
尽管第一段最后一句话“Stu dy as little as half an hour a day and in twelve weeks you could be talking confidently in the language of your choice.”提到，该课程让学习者12周内可以自信地讲学习的语言，但这毕竟是做广告，广告词不免有夸大的成分，可见A 并不能作为合理的推断。
