2006年12月大学英语四级CET4真题及答案2006年12月大学英语四级CET4真题及答案part ii reading compreheion (skimming and scanning) (15 minutes)directio: in this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and awer the questio on awer sheet1.six secrets of high-energy peoplethere's an energy crisis in america, and it has nothing to do with fossil fuels. millio of us get up each morning already weary over the day holds. “i just can’t get started.” people say. but it’s not physical energy that most of us lack. sure, we could all use extra sleep and a better diet. but in truth, people are healthier today than at any time in history. i can almost guarantee that if you long for more energy, the problem is not with your body.what you’re seeking is not physical energy. it’s emotional energy. yet, sad to say life sometimes seems designed to exhaust our supply. we work too hard. we have family obligatio. we encounter emergencies and peonal crises. no wonder so many of us suffer from emotional fatigue, a kind of utter exhaustion of the spirit.and yet we all know people who are filled with joy, despite the unpleasant circumstances of their lives. even as a child i observed people who were poor or disabled or ill, but who nonetheless faced life with optimism and vigor. coider laura hillenbrand, who despite an extremely weak body wrote the best-seller seabiscuit. hillenbrand barely had enough physical energy to drag heelf out of be to write. but she was fueled by having a story she wanted to share. it was emotional energy that helped her succeed.unlike physical energy, which is finite and diminishes with age, emotional energy is unlimited and has nothing to do with genes or upbringing. so how do you get it? you can’t simply tell youelf to be positive. you must take action. here are six practical strategies that work.1.do something new.very little that’s new occu in our lives. the impact of this sameness on our emotional energy is gradual, but huge: it's like a tire with a slow leak. you don't it at fit, but eventually you'll get a flat. it's up to you to plug the leak--even though there are always a dozen reaso to stay stuck in your dull routines of life. that's where maura, 36, a waitress, found heelf a year ago.fortunately, maura had a lifeline--a group of women friends who meet regularly to discuss their lives. their lively discussio spurred maura to make small but nevertheless life altering changes. she joined a gym in the next town. she changed her look with a short haircut and new black t-shirts.eventually, maura gathered the courage to quit her job and start her own business.here's a challenge: if it's something you wouldn't ordinarily do, do it. try a dish you've never eaten. listen to music you'd ordinarily tune out. you'll discover these small things add to your emotional energy.2.reclaim life's meaning.so many of my patients tell me that their lives used to have meaning, but that somewhere along the line things went state.the fit step in solving this meaning shortage is to figure out what you really care about, and then do something about it. a case in point is ivy, 57, a pioneer in investment banking. "i mistakenly believed that all the money i made would mean something." she says. "but i feel lost, like a 22-year-old wondering what to do with her life." ivy's solution? she started a program that shows wall streete how to donate time and money to poor children. in the process, ivy filled her life with meaning.3.put youelf in the fun zone.most of us grown-ups are seriously fun-deprived. high-energy people have the same day-to-day work as the rest of us, but they manage to find something enjoyable in every situation. a real estate broker i know keeps heelf amused on the job by mentally redecorating the houses she shows to clients. "i love imagining what even the most run-down house could look like withy a little tender loving care," she says. "it's a challenge--and the least desirable properties are usually the most fun."we all define fun differently, of coue, but i can guarantee this: if you put just a bit of it into your day, you energy will increase quickly.[page]4.bid farewell to guilt and regret.everyone's past is filled with regrets that still cause pain. but from an emotional energy point of view, they are dead weights that keep us from us from moving forward. while they can't merely be willed away, i do recommend you remind youelf that whatever happened is in the past, and nothing can change that. holding on to the memory only allows the damage to continue into the present.5.make up your mind.say you’ve been thinking about cutting your hair short. will it look stylish – or too extreme?you endlessly think it over. having the decision hanging over your head is a huge energy drain.every time you can’t decide, you burden youelf with alternatives. quit thinking that you have to make the right decision; itead, make a choice and don’t look back.6.give to get.emotional energy has a kind of magical quality; the more you give, the more you get back.. this is the difference between emotional and physical energy. with the latter. you have to get it to be able to give it. with the former, however, you get it by giving it.start by asking everyone you meet, “how are you?” as if you really want to know, then listen to the reply. be the one who hea. most of us also need to smile more often. if you don’t smile at the peon you love fit thing in the morning, yo u’re sucking energy out of your relatiohip. finally, help another peon—and make the help real, concrete. give a massage (按摩) to someone you love, or cook her dinner, then, expand the circle to work. try asking youelf what you’d do if your goal were to be h elpful rather than efficient.after all, if it’s true that what goes around comes around, why not make sure that what’s circulating around you is the good stuff?注意：此部分试题请在答题卡1上作答。

真题答案0606真题Part 1 Wtiring写作点拨本文是一篇现”速奥讧捻丈，要柬考生对“学生选择任课老师" 这一做法展开讨论。

第一段筒要介绍背景，引出主题(be entitled to,the option on)；第二段具体介绍学生在选择任课老师时应该注意的问题(academic background，take character into account，interesting teaching style,good reputation)；第三段阐述这一做法的优缺点(take an active part in, put more presure on，improve teaching quality, toplecture may be ignored)。

范文点评On Students Selecting Lecturers(1) Nowadays students in some universitins are entitled to the option on lecturers for some specific courses. This offers students a more flexible and more efficient way of learning.However, there are several factors for students to consider when choosingtheir ideal lecturers. (2) On the one hand, the lecturer's academic background plays an important role in the decision. An ideal lecturer may give the students much knowledge in his specific field. (3) On the other hand，the students should take the lecturer's character into account. Without good character, a lecturer can't set a good example for the students. (4) What's more, (5) the ideal lecturer is one who has an interesting teachthg style and a good reputation among the students.(6) Free choosing of lecturers may bring to the students many advantages, such as encouraging students th take an active part in classes and putting mom pressure on lecturers m improve their teaching quality. (7) Nevertheless, it also brings along the terrible fact that some wp lecturers will be ignored if they axe not able to please the students. T o conclude. (8)further attention should be paid to this matter.1句首开门见山，直达主题。

Millions of us get up each morning already wear y over the day holds. “I just can’t get started,” p eople say. But it’s not physical energy that most of us lack. Sure, we could all use extra sleep and a better diet. But in truth, people are healthier today than at any time in history. I can almost guarantee that if you long for more energy, the problem is not with your body.What you’re seeking is not physical energy. It’s emotional energy. Yet, sad to say, life sometimes seems designed to exhaust our supply. We work too hard. We have family obligations. We encounter emergencies and personal crises. No wonder so many of us suffer from emotionalfatigue, a kind of utter exhaustion of the spirit.And yet we all know people who are filled with joy, despite the unpleasant circumstances of their lives. Even as a child, I observed people who were poor, or disabled, or ill, but who nonetheless faced life with optimism and vigor. Consider Laura Hillenbrand, who despite an extremely weak body, wrote the best-seller Seabiscuit. Hillenbrand barely had enough physical energy to drag herself out of bed to write. But she was fueled by having a story she wanted to share. It was emotional energy that helped her succeed.Unlike physical energy, which is finite and diminishes with age, emotional energy is unlimited and has no thing to do with genes or upbringing. So how do you get it? You can’t simply tell yourself to be positive. You must take action. Here are six practical strategies that work.1. Do something new.Very little that’s new occurs in our lives. The impact of thi s sameness on our emotional energy is gradual, but huge: It’s like a tire with a slow leak. You don’t notice it at first, but eventually you’ll get a flat. It’s up to you to plug the leak—even though there are always a dozen reasons to stay stuck in your d ull routines of life. That’s where Maura, 36, a waitress, found herself a year ago.Fortunately, Maura had a lifeline—a group of women friends who meet regularly to discuss their lives. Their lively discussions spurred Maura to make small but nevertheless life altering changes. She joined a gym in the next town. She changed her look with a short haircut and new black T-shirts. Eventually, Maura gathered the courage to quit her job and start her own business.Here’s a challenge: If it’s something you wouldn’t ordinarily do, do it. Try a dish you’ve never eaten. Listen to music you’d ordinarily tune out. You’ll discover these small things add to your emotional energy.2. Reclaim life’s meaning.So many of my patients tell me that their lives used to have meaning, but that somewhere along the line things went stale.The first step in solving this meaning shortage is to figure out what you really care about, and then do something about it. A case in point is Ivy, 57, a pioneer in investment banking. “I mistakenly believed that all the money I made would mean something,” she says. “But I feel lost, like a 22-year-old wondering what to do with her life.” Ivy’s solution? She started a program that shows Wall Streeters how to donate time and money to poor children. In the process, Ivy filled her life with meaning.3. Put yourself in the fun zone.Most of us grown-ups are seriously fun-deprived. High-energy people have the same day-to-day work as the rest of us, but they manage to find something enjoyable in every situation. A real estate broker I know keeps herself amused on the job by mentally redecorating the houses she shows to clients. “I love imagining what even the most run-down house could look like with a little tender loving care,” she says. “It’s a challenge—and the least desirable properties are usually the most fun.”We all define fun differently, of course, but I can guarantee this: If you put just a bit of it into your day, you energy will increase quickly.4. Bid farewell to guilt and regret.Everyone’s pa st is filled with regrets that still cause pain. But from an emotional energy point of view, they are dead weights that keep us from moving forward. While they can’t merely be willed away, I do recommend you remind yourself that whatever happened is in the past, and nothing can change that. Holding on to the memory only allows the damage to continue into the present.5. Make up your mind.Say you’ve been thinking about cutting your hair short. Will it look stylish—or too extreme?You endlessly think it over. Having the decision hanging over your head is a huge energy drain.Every time you can’t decide, you burden yourself with alternatives. Quit thinking that you have to make the right decision; instead, make a choice and don’t look back.6. Give to get.Emotional energy has a kind of magical quality; the more you give, the more you get back. This is the difference between emotional and physical energy. With the latter, you have to get it to be able to give it. With the former, however, you get it by giving it.Start by asking everyone you meet, “How are you?” as if you really want to know, then listen to the reply. Be the one who hears. Most of us also need to smile more often. If you don’t smile at the person you love first thing in the morning, you’re sucki ng energy out of your relationship. Finally, help another person—and make the help real, concrete. Give a massage (按摩) to someone you love, or cook her dinner. Then, expand the circle to work. Try asking yourself what you’d do if your goal were to be helpful rather than efficient.After all, if it’s true that what goes around comes around, why not make sure that what’s circulating around you is the good stuff?注意：此部分试题请在答题卡1上作答。

with more respoibility thatencourages creativity and initiative. or they may wish to expose their children to another culture, and the opportunity to learn a second language.when applying for a job, one usually has to submit a resume or curriculum vitae (cv). the two terms generally mean the same thing: a one- or two-page document describing one's educational qualificatio and professional experience. however, guidelines for preparing a r6sum6 are cotantly changing. the best advice is to find out what is appropriate regarding the corporate (公司) culture, the country culture, and the culture of the peon making the hiring decision. the challenge will be to embrace two or more cultures in one document. the following list is a good place to start."educational requirements differ from country to country. in almost every case of 'cross- border' job hunting, just stating the title of your degree will not bean adequate description. provide the reader with details about your studies and any related experience. " daohangtigongpay attention to the resume format you use-chronological or revee-chronological order. chronological order mea listing your 'oldest' work experience fit. revee-chronological order mea listing your current or most recent experience fit. most countries have preferences about which format is most acceptable. if you find no specific guidelines. the general preference is for the revee-chronological format. "if you are submitting your resume in english, find out if the recipient （收件人) uses british english or american english because there are variatio between the two veio. for example, univeity education is often referred to as 'tertiary education' in the united kingdom, but this term is almost never used in the united states. a reader who is unfamiliar with these variatio may assume that your resume contai erro.[page]21. companies are hiring more foreign employees becausea) they find foreign employees are usually more talentedb) they need original ideas from employees hired oveeasc) they want to expand their business beyond home borded) they have difficulty finding qualified peonnel at home22. the author believes that an individual who applies to work oveeasa) is usually creative and full of initiativeb) aims to improve his foreign language skillsc) is dissatisfied with his own life at homed) seeks either his own or his children's development23. when it comes to resume writing, it is best toa) take cultural facto into coiderationb) learn about the company's hiring processc) follow appropriate guidelines for job huntingd) know the employer's peonal likes and dislikes24. when writing about qualificatio, applicants are advised toa) stress their academic potential to impress the decision makerb) give the title of the univeity degree they have earned at homec) provide a detailed description of their study and work experiencesd) highlight their keen interest in puuing a 'cross-border' career25. according to the author's last piece of advice, the applicants should be aware ofa) the different educational systems in the us and the ukb) the differences between the varieties of englishc) the recipient's preference with regard to the formatd) the distinctive features of american and british culturesquestio 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:educating girls quite possibly yields a higher rate of return than any other investment available in the developing world. women's education may be unusual territory for economists, but enhancing women's contribution to development is actually as much an economic as a social issue. and economics, with its emphasis on incentives (激励), provides guideposts that point to an explanation for why so many girls are deprived of an education.parents in low-income countries fail to invest in their daughte because they do not expect them to make an economic contribution to the family: girls grow up only to marry into somebody else's family and bear children. girls are thus seen as less valuable than boys and art kept at home to do housework while their brothe are sent to school - the prophecy （预言) becomes self- fulfilling, trapping women in a vicious circle (恶性循环) of neglect.an educated mother, on the other hand, has greater earning abilities outside the home and faces an entirely different set of choices. she is likely to have fewer but healthier children and can iist on the development of all her children, euring that her daughte are given a fair chance. the education of her daughte then makes it much more likely that the next generation of girls, as well as of boys, will be educated and healthy. the vicious circle is thus traformed into a virtuous circle.few will dispute that educating women has great social benefits. but it has enormous economic advantages as well. most obviously, there is the direct effect of education on the wages of female worke. wages rise by 10 to 20 per cent for each additional year of schooling. such big retur are impressive by the standard of other available investments, but they are justthe beginning. educating women also has a significant impact on health practices, including family planning.26. the author argues that educating girls in developing countries isa) troublesomeb) labor-savingc) rewardingd) expeive27. by saying "... the prophecy becomes self-fulfilling ..." (lines 45. para.2). the author mea thata) girls will turn out to be less valuable than boysb) girls will be capable of realizing their own dreamsc) girls will eventually find their goals in life beyond reachd) girls will be increasingly discontented with their life at home28. the author believes that a vicious circle can turn into a virtuous circle when[page]a) women care more about educationb) girls can gain equal access to educationc) a family has fewer but healthier childrend) parents can afford their daughte' education29. what does the author say about women's education?a) it deserves greater attention than other social issues.b) it is now given top priority in many developing countries.c) it will yield greater retur than other known investments.d) it has aroused the interest of a growing number of economists.30. 7be passage mainly discussesa) unequal treatment of boys and girls in developing countriesb) the potential earning power of well-educated womenc) the major contributio of educated women to societyd) the economic and social benefits of educating womenpassage threequestio 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:speeding off in a stolen car, the thief thinks he has got a great catch. but he is in for an unwelcome surprise. the car is fitted with a remote immobiliser (锁止器), and a radio signal from a control centre miles away will eure that once the thief switches the engine off, he will not be able to start it again.the idea goes like this. a control box fitted to the car contai a mini-cellphone, a micro- processor and memory, and a gps (全球定位系统) satellite positioning receiver. ff the car is stolen, a coded cellphone signalwill tell the control centre to block the vehicle's engine management system and prevent the engine being restarted. daoahngtigongin the uk, a set of technical fixes is already making life harder for car thieves. 'the pattern of vehicle crime has changed,' says martyn randall, a security expert. he says it would only take him a few minutes to teach a peon how to steal a car, using a bare minimum of tools. but only if the car is more than 10 yea old.modern ca are far tougher to steal, as their engine management computer won't allow them to start unless they receive a unique id code beamed out by the ignition (点火) key. in the uk, technologies like this have helped achieve a 31% drop in vehicle-related crime since 1997.but determined criminals are still managing to find other ways to steal ca, often by getting bold of the owner's keys. and key theft is respoible for 40% of the thefts of vehicles fitted with a tracking system.if the car travels 100 metres without the driver confirming their id, the system will send a signal to an operatio centre that it has been stolen. the hundred metres minimum avoids false alarms due to inaccuracies in the gps signal.staff at the centre will then contact the owner to confirm that the car really is missing, and keep police informed of the vehicle's movements via the car's gps unit.31. what's the function of the remote immobilizer fitted to a car?a) to help the police make a surprise attack on the car thief.b) to allow the car to lock automatically when stolen.c) to prevent the car thief from restarting it once it stops.d) to prevent car theft by sending a radio signal to the car owner.32. by saying 'the pattern of vehicle crime has changed' (lines 1-2. para.3). martyn randall suggests thata) it takes a longer time for the car thief to do the stealingb) self-prepared tools are no longer enough for car theftc) the thief has to make use of computer technologyd) the thief has lost interest in stealing ca over 10 yea old33. what is essential in making a modem car tougher to steal?a) a coded ignition key. c) a special cellphone signal.b) a unique id card. d) a gps satellite positioning receiver.34. why does the tracking system set a 100-metre minimum before sending an alarm to the operatio centre?a) to leave time for the operatio centre to give an alarm.b) to keep police informed of the car's movements.c) to give the driver time to contact the operatio centre.d) to allow for possible erro in the gps system.35. what will the operatio centre do fit after receiving an alarm?[page]a) start the tracking system.b) contact the car owner.c) block the car engine.d) locate the missing car.passage fourquestio 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:psychiatrists 精神病专家) who work with older parents say that maturity can be an asset in child rearing - older parents are more thoughtful, use less physical discipline and spend more time with their children. but raising kids takes money and energy. many older parents find themselves balancing their limited financial resources, declining energy and failing health agait the growing demands of an active child. dying and leaving young children is probably the older parents' biggest, and often upoken, fear. having late-life children, says an economics professor. often mea parents, particularly fathe, "end up retiring much later." for many, retirement becomes an unobtainable dream.henry metcalf. a 54-year-old journalist, knows it takes money to raise kids. but he's also worried that his energy will give out fit. sure, he can still ride bikes with his athletic fifth grader, but he's learned that young at heart doesn't mean young. lately he's been taking afternoon naps (午睡) daohang to keep up his energy. "my body is aging," says metcalf. "you can't get away from that."often, older parents hear the ticking of another kind of biological clock. therapists who work with middle-aged and older parents say fea about aging are nothing to laugh at. "they worry they'll be mistaken for grandparents, or that they'll need help getting up out of those little chai in nuery school," says joann galst, a new york psychologist. but at the core of those little fea there is often a much bigger one: "that they won't be alive long enough to support and protect their child," she says.many late-life parents, though, say their children came at just the right time. after marrying late and undergoing yea of fertilily (受孕) treatment, marilyn nolen and her husband. randy, had twi. "we both wanted children," says marilyn, who was 55 when she gave birth. the twi have given the couple what they desired for yea, "a see of family." kids of older dads are often smarter, happier and more sociable because their fathe are more involved in their lives. 'the dads are older, more mature," says dr. silber, "and more ready to focus on parenting."36. why do psychiatrists regard maturity as an asset in child rearing?a) older parents are often better prepared financially.b) older parents can take better care of their children.c) older parents are usually more experienced in bringing up their children.d) older parents can better balance their resources agait children's demands.37. what does the author mean by saying "for many, retirement becomes an unobtainable dream" (lines 7-8, para. 1)?a) they are reluctant to retire when they reach

Millions of us get up each morning already weary over the day holds. “I just can’t get started.” People say. But it’s not physical energy that most of us lack. Sure, we could all use extra sleep and a better diet. But in truth, people are healthier today than at any time in history. I can almost guarantee that if you long for more energy, the problem is not with your body.What you’re seeking is not physical energy. It’s emotional energy. Yet, sad to say life sometimes seems designed to exhaust our supply. We work too hard. We have family obligations. We encounter emergencies and personal crises. No wonder so many of us suffer from emotional fatigue, a kind of utter exhaustion of the spirit.And yet we all know people who are filled with joy, despite the unpleasant circumstances of their lives. Even as a child I observed people who were poor or disabled or ill, but who nonetheless faced life with optimism and vigor. Consider Laura Hillenbrand, who despite an extremely weak body wrote the best-seller Seabiscuit. Hillenbrand barely had enough physical energy to drag herself out of be to write. But she was fueled by having a story she wanted to share. It was emotional energy that helped her succeed.Unlike physical energy, which is finite and diminishes with age, emotional energy isunlimited and has nothing to do with genes or upbri nging. So how do you get it? You can’t simply tell yourself to be positive. You must take action. Here are six practical strategies that work.1. Do something new.Very little that’s new occurs in our lives. The impact of this sameness on our emotional ene rgy is gradual, but huge: It’s like a tire with a slow leak. You don’t it at first, but eventually you’ll get a flat. It’s up to you to plug the leak--even though there are always a dozen reasons to stay stuck in your dull routines of life. That’s where Ma ura, 36, a waitress, found herself a year ago.Fortunately, Maura had a lifeline--a group of women friends who meet regularly to discuss their lives. Their lively discussions spurred Maura to make small but nevertheless life altering changes. She joined a gym in the next town. She changed her look with a short haircut and new black T-shirts. Eventually, Maura gathered the courage to quit her job and start her own business.Here’s a challenge: If it’s something you wouldn’t ordinarily do, do it. Try a dish you’ve never eaten. Listen to music you’d ordinarily tune out. You’ll discover these small things add to your emotional energy.2. Reclaim life’s meaning.So many of my patients tell me that their lives used to have meaning, but that somewhere along the line things went state.The first step in solving this meaning shortage is to figure out what you really care about, and then do something about it. A case in point is Ivy, 57, a pioneer in investment banking. "I mistakenly believed that all the money I made would mean something." she says. "But I feel lost, like a 22-year-old wondering what to do with her life." Ivy’s solution? She started a program that shows Wall Streeters how to donate time and money to poor children. In the process, Ivy filled her life with meaning.3. Put yourself in the fun zone.Most of us grown-ups are seriously fun-deprived. High-energy people have the same day-to-day work as the rest of us, but they manage to find something enjoyable in every situation. A real estate broker I know keeps herself amused on the job by mentally redecorating the houses she shows to clients. "I love imagining what even the most run-down house could look like withy a little tender loving care," she says. "It’s a challenge--and the least desirable properties are usually the most fun."We all define fun differently, of course, but I can guarantee this: If you put just a bit of it into your day, you energy will increase quickly.4. Bid farewell to guilt and regret.Everyone’s past is filled with regrets that sti ll cause pain. But from an emotional energy point of view, they are dead weights that keep us from us from moving forward. While they can’t merely be willed away, I do recommend you remind yourself that whatever happened isin the past, and nothing can change that. Holding on to the memory only allows the damage to continue into the present.5. Make up your mind.Say you’ve been thinking about cutting your hair short. Will it look stylish –or too extreme?You endlessly think it over. Having the decision hanging over your head is a huge energy drain.Every time you can’t decide, you burden yourself with alternatives. Quit thinking that you have to make the right decision; instead, make a choice and don’t look back.6. Give to get.Emotional energy has a kind of magical quality; the more you give, the more you get back.. This is the difference between emotional and physical energy. With the latter. You have to get it to be able to give it. With the former, however, you get it by giving it.Start by asking ever yone you meet, “How are you?” as if you really want to know, then listen to the reply. Be the one who hears. Most of us also need to smile more often. If you don’t smile at the person you love first thing in the morning, you’re sucking energy out of your relationship. Finally, help another person—and make the help real, concrete. Give a massage (按摩) to someone you love, or cook her dinner, Then, expand the circle to work. Try asking yourself what you’d do if your goal were to be helpful rather than efficien t.After all, if it’s true that what goes around comes around, why not make sure that what’s circulating around you is the good stuff?注意：此部分试题请在答题卡1上作答。

2006-2009年大学英语四级真题试卷2009年6月大学英语四级真题试卷Part I Writing (30 minutes) Free admission to museums1. 越来越多的博物馆免费对外开放的目的是什么？2. 也会带来一些问题3. 你的看法？Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) (15 minutes)How Do You See Diversity?As a manager, Tiffany is responsible for interviewing applicants for some of the positions with her company .During one interview, she noticed that the candidate never made direct eye contact. She was puzzled and somewhat disappointed because she liked the individual otherwise.He had a perfect resume and gave good responses to her questions, but the fact that he never looked her in the eye said “untrustworthy,” so she decided to offer the job to her second choice.“It wasn’t until I attended a diversity workshop that I rea lized the person we passed over was the perfect person,” Tiffany confesses. What she hadn’t known at the time of the interview was that the candidate’s “different” behavior was simply a cultural misunderstanding . He was an Asian-American raised in a household where respect for those in authority was shown by averting(避开) your eyes.“I was just thrown off by the lack of ye contact; not realizing it was cultural,” Tiffany says. “I missed out ,but will not miss that opportunity again.”Many of us have had similar encounters with behaviors we perceive as different. As the world becomes smaller and our workplaces more diverse, it is becoming essential to expand our under-standing of others and to reexamine some of our false assumptions .Hire AdvantageAt a time when hiring qualified people is becoming more difficult ,employers who can eliminate invalid biases(偏爱) from the process have a distinct advantage .My company, Mindsets LLC ,helps organizations and individuals see their own blind spots . A real estate recruiter we worked with illustrates the positive difference such training can make .“During my Mindsets coaching session ,I was taught how to recruit a diversified workforce.I recruited people from different cultures and skill sets .The agents were able to utilize their full potential and experiences to build up the company .When the real estate market began to change, it was because we had a diverse agent pool that we were able to stay in the real estate market much longer than others in the same profe ssion.”Blinded by GenderDale is an account executive who attended one of my workshops on supervising a diverse workforce . “Through one of the sessions ,I discovered my personal bias ,” he recalls . “I learned I had not been looking at a person as a whol e person , and being open to differences .” In his case , the blindness was not about culture but rather gender .“I had a management position open in my department ;and the two finalists were a man and a woman . Had I not attended this workshop , I would have automatically assumed the man was the best candidate because the position required quite a bit of extensive travel . My reasoning wouldhave been that even though both candidates were great and could have been successful in the position , I assumed the woman would have wanted to be home with her children and not travel .”Dale’s assumptions are another example of the well-intentioned but incorrect thinking that limits an organization’s ability to tap into the full potential of a diverse workforce .“I l earned from the class that instead of imposing my gender biases into the situation , I needed to present the full range of duties, responsibilities and expectations to all candidates and allow them to make an informed decision .” Dale credits the workshop , “because it helped me make decisions based on fairness .”Year of the Know-It-AllDoug is another supervisor who attended one of my workshops .He recalls a major lesson learned from his own employee.“One of my most embarrassing moments was when I had a Chinese-American employee put in a request to take time off to celebrate Chinese New Year . In my ignorance , I assumed he had his dates wrong , as the first of January had just passed . When I advised him of this , I gave him a long talking-to about turning in requests early with the proper dates .“He patiently waited , then when I was done , he said he would like Chinese New Year did not begin January first , and that Chinese New Year ,which is tied to the lunar cycle ,is one of the most celebrated holidays on the Chinese calendar . Needless to say , I felt very embarrassed in assuming he had his dates mixed up . But I learned a great deal about assumptions , and that the timing of holidays varies considerably from culture to culture .“Attending the dive rsity workshop helped me realize how much I could learn by simply asking questions and creating dialogues with my employees , rather than making assumptions and trying to be a know-it-all ,” Doug admits . “The biggest thing I took away from the workshop is learning how to be more ‘inclusive’ to differences.”A better Bottom LineAn open mind about diversity not only improves organizations internally , it is profitable as well . These comments from a customer service representative show how an inclusive attitude can improve sales .”Most of my customers speak English as a second language . One of the best things my company has done is to contract with a language service that offers translations over the phone . It wasn’t until my boss received Mindsets’ tra ining that she was able to understand how important inclusiveness was to customer service . As result , our customer base has increased .”Once we start to see people as individuals . and discard the stereotypes , we can move positively toward inclusiveness for everyone . Diversity is about coming together and taking advantage of our differences and similarities . It is about building better communities and organizations that enhance us as individuals and reinforce our shared humanity .When we begin to question our assumptions and challenge what we think we have learned from our past , from the media, peers , family , friends , etc , we begin to realize that some of our conclusions are flawed(有缺陷的) or contrary to our fundamental values . We need to train our-selves to think differently , shift our mindsets and realize that diversity opens doors for all of us ,creating opportunities in organizations and communities that benefit everyone .1.What bothered Tiffany during an interview with her candidate?A)He jus t wouldn’t look her in the eye.B)He was slow in answering her questions.C)His answers to some of her questions were irrelevant.D)His answers to some of her questions were irrelevant .2. Tiffany’s misjudgment about the candidate stemmed from.A) Racial stereotypes. C) Racial stereotypes.B) Invalid personal bias . D) Emphasis on physical appearance3.

They never write, unless assignments 47 it . They fine the writing process 48 and difficult.How awful to be able to speak in a language but not to write in it- 49 English , with its rich vocabulary . Being able to speak but not write is like living in an 50 mansion(豪宅) and never leaving one small room . When I meet students who think they can’t write, I know as a teacher my 51 is to show them the rest of the rooms . My task is to build fluency while providing the opportunity inherent in any writing activity to 52 the moral and emotional development of my students . One great way to do this is by having students write in a journal in class every day.Writing ability is like strength training. Writing needs to be done 53 , just like exercise ;just as muscles grow stronger with exercise , writing skills improve quickly with writing practice.I often see a rise in student confidence and 54 after only a few weeks of journal writing .Expressing oneself in writing is one of the most important skills I teach to strengthen the whole student. When my students practice journal writing, they are practicing for their future academic, political, and 55 lives . They build skills so that some day they might write a great novel, a piece of sorely needed legislation, or the perfect love letter. Every day that they write in their journals puts them a step 56 to fluency , eloquence(雄辩), and command ofPassage OneThe January fashion show, called FutureFashion , exemplified how far green design has come. Organized by the New York-based nonprofit Earth Pledge, the show inspired many top designers to work with sustainable fabrics for the first time. Several have since made pledges to include organic fabrics in their lines.The designers who undertake green fashion still face many challenges. Scott Hahn, cofounder with Gregory of Rogan and Loomstate, which uses all-organic cotton, says high-quality sustainable materials can still be tough to fine . “Most designers with existing labels are finding there aren’t comparable fabrics that can just replace what you’re doing and shat your customers are used to,” he says. For example, organic cotton and non-organic cotton are virtually indistinguishable once woven into a dress. But some popular synthetics, like stretch nylon, still have few eco-friendly equivalents.Those who do make the switch are finding they have more support. Last year the influential trade show Designers & Agents stopped charging its participation fee for young green entrepreneurs(企业家) who attend its two springtime shows in Los Angeles and New York and gave special recognition to designers whose collections are at least 25% sustainable . It now counts more than 50 green designers, up from fewer than a dozen two years ago. This week Wal-Mart is set to announce a major initiative aimed at helping cotton farmers go organic: it will buy transitional(过渡型的) cotton at higher prices , thus helping to expand the supply of a key sustainable material . “Mainstream is about to occur,” says Hahn.Some analysts(分析师) are less sure . Among consumers, only 18%are even aware that ecofashion exists, up from 6% four years ago. Natalie Hormilla, a fashion writer, is an example of the unconverted consumer, when asked if she owned any sustainable clothes, she replied: “Not that I’m aware of.” Like most consumers, she finds little time to shop, and when she does, she’s on the hunt for “cute stuff that isn’t too expensive.” By her own admission, green just isn’t yet on her mind. But –thanks to the combined efforts of designers, retailers and suppliers –one day it will be.57. What is said about FutureFashion?A) It inspired many leading designers to start going green.B) It showed that designers using organic fabrics would go far.C) It served as an example of how fashion shows should be organized.D) It convinced the public that fashionable clothes should be made durable.58. According to Scott Hahn, one big challenge to designers who will go organic isthat .A) much more time is needed to finish a dress using sustainable materials .B) they have to create new brands for clothes made of organic materials .C) customers have difficulty telling organic from non-organic materials .D) quality organic replacements for synthetics are not readily available .59. We learn from Paragraph 3 that designers who undertake green fashion .A) can attend various trade shows free .B) are readily recognized by the fashion worldC) can buy organic cotton at favorable prices .D) are gaining more and more support .60. What is Natalie Hormilla’s attitude toward ecofashion?A) She doesn’t seem to care about it. C) She is doubtful of its practical value.B) She doesn’t think it is sustainable D) She is very much opposed to the idea61. What does the author think of green fashion?A) Green products will soon go mainstream.B) It has a very promising future.C) Consumers have the final say.D) It will appeal more to young people.Passage TwoScientists have devised a way to determine roughly where a person has lived using a strand(缕) of hair , a technique that could help track the movements of criminal suspects or unidentified murder victims .The method relies on measuring how chemical variations in drinking water show up in people’s hair.“You’re what you eat and drink, and that’s recorded in you hair,” said Thure Cerling, a geologist at the University of Utah.While U.S diet is relatively identical, water supplies vary. The differences result from weather patterns. The chemical composition of rainfall changes slightly as raid clouds move.Most hydrogen and oxygen atoms in water are stable , but traces of both elements are also present as heavier isotopes (同位素) . The heaviest raid falls first .As a result, storms that form over the Pacific deliver heavier water to California than to Utah.Similar patterns exist throughout the U.S. By measuring the proportion of heavier hydrogen and oxygen isotopes along a strand of hair, scientists can construct a geographic timeline. Each inch of hair corresponds to about two months.Cerling’s team collected tap water samples from 600 cities and constructed a mop of the regional differences. They checked the accuracy of the map by testing 200 hair samples collected from 65 barber shops.They were able to accurately place the hair samples in broad regions roughly corresponding to the movement of raid systems.“It’s not good for pinpointing (精确定位),” Cerling said . “It’s good for eliminating manypossibilities.”Todd Park, a local detective, said the method has helped him learn more about an unidentified woman whose skeleton was found near Great Salt Lake.The woman was 5 feet tall. Police recovered 26 bones, a T-shirt and several strands of hair.When Park heard about the research, he gave the hair samples to the researchers. Chemical testing showed that over the two years before her death, she moved about every two months.She stayed in the Northwest, although the test could not be more specific than somewhere between eastern Oregon and western Wyoming.“It’s still a substantial area,” Park said “But it narrows it way down for me.”62. What is the scientists’ new discovery?A) One’s hair growth has to do with the amount of water they drink.B) A person’s hair may reveal where they have live d.C) Hair analysis accurately identifies criminal suspects.D) The chemical composition of hair varies from person to person.63. What does the author mean by “You’re what you eat and drink” (Line 1, Para.3)?A) Food and drink affect one’s personality d evelopment.B) Food and drink preferences vary with individuals.C) Food and drink leave traces in one’s body tissues.D) Food and drink are indispensable to one’s existence.64. What is said about the rainfall in America’s West?A) There is much more rainfall in California than in Utah.B) The water it delivers becomes lighter when it moves inland.C) Its chemical composition is less stable than in other areas.D) It gathers more light isotopes as it moves eastward.65. What did Cerling’s team produce i n their research?A) A map showing the regional differences of tap water.B) A collection of hair samples from various barber shops.C) A method to measure the amount of water in human hair.D) A chart illustrating the movement of the rain system.66. Wh at is the practical value of Cerling’s research?A) It helps analyze the quality of water in different regions.B) It helps the police determine where a crime is committed.C) It helps the police narrow down possibilities in detective work.D) It helps identify the drinking habits of the person under investigation.Part V Cloze (15 minutes)Kimiyuki Suda should be a perfect customer for Japan’s car-makers.
