When he came to analyze their embarrassing lapses (差错) in a scientific report, he was surprised to find that nearly all of them fell into a few groupings. Nor did the lapses appear to be entirely random (随机的).One of the women, for instance, on leaving her house for work one morning threw herdog her earrings(耳环) and tried to fix a dog biscuit on her ear. "The explanation for this is that the brain is like a computer," explains the professor. "People program themselves to do certain activities regularly. It was the woman's custom every morning to throw her dog two biscuits and then put on her earrings. But somehow the action got reversed in the program," About one in twenty of the incidents the volunteers reported were these “program assembly（集合，装配）failures.”Altogether the volunteers logged（存入数据）433 unintentional actions that they found themselves doing — an average of twelve each. There appear to be peak（顶峰）periods in the day when we are at our zaniest (荒谬可笑的). These are two hours some time between eight am and noon, between four and six pm with a smaller peak between eight and ten pm. "Among men the peak seems to be when a changeover(逆转) in brain 'programs' occurs, as for instance between going to and from work." Women on average reported slightly more lapses —12.5 compared with 10.9 for men — probably because they were more reliable reporters.A startling finding of the research is that the absent-minded activity is a hazard of doing things in which we are skilled. Normally, you would expect that skill reduces the number of errors we make. But trying to avoid silly slips by concentrating more could make things a lot worse — even dangerous.31. In his study Professor Smith asked the subjects __________ .（） [单选题] *A. to keep track of people who tend to forget thingsB. to report their embarrassing lapses at randomC. to analyze their awkward experiences scientificallyD. to keep a record of what they did unintentionally(正确答案)32. Professor Smith discovered that_____________ .（） [单选题] *A. certain patterns can be identified in the recorded incidents(正确答案)B. many people were too embarrassed to admit their absent-mindednessC. men tend to be more absent-minded than womenD. absent-mindedness is an excusable human weakness33. "Program assembly failures" (Line 6, Para. 2) refers to the phenomenon that people_______ .（） [单选题] *A. often fail to program their routines(常规性工作) before handB. tend to make mistakes when they are in a hurryC. unconsciously change the sequence（顺序）of doing things(正确答案)D. are likely to mess things up if they are too tired34. We learn from the third paragraph that ______________ .（） [单选题] *A. absent-mindedness tends to occur during certain hours of the day(正确答案)B. women are very careful to perform actions during peak periodsC. women experience more peak periods of absent-mindednessD. men's absent-mindedness often results in funny situations35. It can be concluded from the passage that _____________ .（） [单选题] *A. people should avoid doing important things during peak periods of lapsesB. hazards can be avoided when people do things they are good atC. people should be careful when programming their actionsD. lapses cannot always be attributed to(由于) lack of concentration(正确答案)Passage2The word "hotel" is derived from the Latin word "hospitale”. It means a rented place for sleeping. Webster defines a hotel as "a building or institution providing lodging（寄宿）, meals, and service for the public."The hotel industry rebounded during and immediately after World War II, as the volumeof travel increased. The postwar hospitality industry, however, has been markedly different from that of the prewar period with the automobile and the jet plane radically （根本地）affecting the industry, changing travel patterns and leading to the development of different types of hotels. Motels, resort hotels, and convention hotels have been developed to cater to the varied needs of today's traveling public.Motels really came of age during the 1950s. Two main factors contributed to the boom （繁荣） in motel construction. One was the development of the interstate highway system, beginning in 1956, which encouraged more and more travelers to take to the roads on long distance journeys. The other was the entry of motel chains into the market. Motels increased in size and, for the first time, added a number of services. Restaurants, swimming pools, and in-room televisions became standard features. Motels began to attract growing numbers of vacationers in addition to commercial travelers.A resort hotel is one that people visit for relaxation, recreation, and entertainment. With the rise in mass tourism, they have been established in great numbers at destinations throughout the world. The idea of the resort hotel was born in the 18th and 19th century in Europe. And the resort hotel developed with the expansion of the railroads in the second half of the nineteenth century. All catered exclusively to the rich and to the upper middle class. Families stayed for two or three months and returned to the same hotel year after year.A convention hotel is one that caters to large group gatherings. The rise of convention hotels has been one of the developments in the hotel industry, and conventioneers now account for almost 20 percent of all hotel guests. Many downtown hotels saw occupancy levels drop during the 1950s and early 1960s as motels captured a larger segment of the market. In response, some hotels began to add facilities for conventions and other group gatherings as a means of survival. At first, conventions were scheduled for off-peak periods, but as the volume of convention business increased, they began to be scheduled year-round.36. According to Para. 2, _____________ after World War Il.（） [单选题] *A. the public demanded for automobiles and jet planesB. the development of transportation changed travel patterns(正确答案)C. more and more people liked to stay in hotelsD. the hotel industry developed slowly37. During the 1950s, motels _______________ .（） [单选题] *A. encouraged people to travel with familiesB. mainly met the needs of commercial travelersC. appeared in the market to compete with other hotelsD. provided services in addition to furnishing lodging(正确答案)38. According to the passage, wealthy people who want to escape from the cities during hot summer months will most probably stay in _____________ .（） [单选题] *A. motelsB. resort hotels(正确答案)C. convention hotelsD. down hotels39. As one of the developments in the hotel industry, conventional hotels ___________ .（） [单选题] *A. have made a lot of profitsB. attract more businessmen than tourists(正确答案)C. make up a major part of the marketD. are not run all-year-round40. What is the author's purpose in writing this article?（） [单选题] *A. To give a brief history of hotel industry.(正确答案)B. To draw a line between different kinds of hotels.C. To show the functions of hotels.D. To stress the importance of hotels.Passage 3It is easier to negotiate initial salary requirement because once you are inside, the organizational constraints (约束) influence wage increases. One thing, however, is certain: your chances of getting the raise you feel you deserve are less if you don't at least ask for it. Men tend to ask for more, and they get more, and this holds true with other resources, not just pay increases. Consider Beth's story:I did not get what I wanted when I did not ask for it. We had cubicle (小隔间) offices and window offices. I sat in the cubicles with several male colleagues. One by one they were moved into window offices, while I remained in the cubicles. Several males who were hired after me also went to offices. One in particular told me he was next in line for an office and that it had been part of his negotiations for the job. I guess they thought me content to stay in the cubicles since I did not voice my opinion either way.It would be nice if we all received automatic pay increases equal to our merit(功绩), but "nice" isn't a quality attributed to most organizations. If you feel you deserve a significant raise in pay, you'll probably have to ask for it.Performance is your best bargaining (交涉) chip (筹码) when you are seeking a raise. You must be able to demonstrate (证明) that you deserve a raise. Timing is also a good bargaining chip. If you can give your boss something he or she needs (a new client or a sizable contract, for example) just before merit pay decisions are being made, you are more likely to get the raise you want.Use information as a bargaining chip too. Find out what you are worth on the open market. What will Some ne else pay for your services?Go into the negotiations prepared to place your chips on the table at the appropriate time and prepared to use communication style to guide the direction of the interaction.41. According to the passage, before taking a job, a person should ___________ .（）[单选题] *A. demonstrate his capabilityB. give his boss a good impressionC. ask for as much money as he canD. ask for the salary he hopes to get(正确答案)42. What can be inferred from Beth's story? [单选题] *A. Prejudice(偏见) against women still exists in some organizations.(B. If people want what they deserve, they have to ask for it.(正确答案)C.

He has an IQ that is "off the normal scale" but can write only two words a minute.He was offered a place by Peterhouse after the university agreed to waive (免除) the normal entry requirements because of Alexander's "unusual circumstances".To overcome his difficulties, he will use special equipment to read books and write his essays during his studies for a degree in the history of art and theology (神学).Mr. Engleman, Alexander's counsel, told Mr. Justice Tucker that Alexander was a special case because of the wide gap between his high intellectual (智力的) age and his performance caused by his dyslexia.Alexander learns from taped books and then dictates his essays into a tape recorder, which are then transcribed (转录) by his father.The city council said it refused to give Alexander financial support because, under the special educational needs legislation in the Education Act of 1996, it had no power to fund a university course.The High Court judge Mr. Tucker said that he would give his judgment today.46.
