1、How to Interview PeopleInterviewing (采訪) is one of those skills that you can only get better at. You will never again feel so ill at ease when you try it fｏｒthe first time, ａｎｄ　probably you\'ll never feel entirely comfortable trying to get from another person answers that he ｏｒshe may be too shy to reveal. But at least half of the skill is mechanical. The rest is instinct, which can all be learned with experience.The basic tools fｏｒan interview are paper ａｎｄ　two ｏｒthree well-sharpened pencils. But keep your notebook ｏｒpaper out of sight until you need it. There\'s nothing less likely to relax a person than the arrival of someone with a note-taking pad. Both of you need time to get to know each other. Take a while just to chat, judging what sort of person you\'re dealing with, getting him ｏｒher to trust you.Never go into an interview without doing whatever homework you can. If you are interviewing a town official, know his voting record. If it\'s an actor, know what plays he has been in. You will not be liked if you inquire about facts that you could have learned in advance. Many beginning interviewers are afraid that they are forcing the other person to answer questions ａｎｄ　have no right to inquire about his personal secrets. ______ Unless the person really hates being interviewed, he is delighted that somebody wants to interview him. Most men ａｎｄ　women lead lives that are uninteresting, ａｎｄ　they grasp any chance to talk to an outsider who seems eager to listen.This doesn\'t necessarily mean that it will go well. In general you will be talking to people who have never been interviewed before, ａｎｄ　they will get used to the process awkwardly, perhaps not giving you anything that you can use. Come back another day； it will go better. You will both even begin to enjoy it-proof that you aren\'t forcing your victim to do something he doesn\'t really want to.【單選題】

A.Come back another day； it will go better.

B.But at least half of the skill is mechanical.

C.As one philosopher interviewed in the film notes, they lack irony.

D.You will not be liked if you inquire about facts that you could have learned in advance.

E.This fear is almost 103 percent unnecessary.

F.Both of you need time to get to know each other.

正確答案:E

答案解析:選項(xiàng)中this fear對(duì)應(yīng)前一句中的afraid一詞。

2、Some Unusual CelebrationsSome holidays are well - known all around the world. Among them are New Year\'s Eve Celebrations. Also days are common in honｏｒof love ａｎｄ　friendship, like Valentine\'s Day. Each country has its own special holidays too, to mark important events in its history. Schools, banks, ａｎｄ　government offices all close on days like these. Some of the days people celebrate, however, are less serious. A few of them are really very strange.Of course, they are not strange to the people who celebrate them. Perhaps that is because the celebrations have long traditions. Consider April Fool\'s Day, fｏｒexample. No one knows when ｏｒwhy it began. Today it is celebrated in many countries－France, England, ａｎｄ　Australia, etc. On this day, people play practical jokes. Jokes are supposed to be funny, but these jokes do not make everyone laugh. The ones who laugh are the ones playing the jokes. The people they fool often get angry. Does celebrating this day make sense to you?Dyngus Day in Polａｎｄ　seems strange, too. On this day, it is traditional fｏｒboys to pour water over the heads of girls. Here is the strangest part: they do it to girls they like.Other unusual celebrations take place in a single city ｏｒtown. A holiday called La Tomatina is celebrated in Bunol, Spain. Every year, in late August, big trucks carry more than 200,000 pounds of tomatoes into this little town. Then begins the world\'s biggest food fight. Fｏｒtwo hours, people in the streets throw tomatoes at each other. Everyone ends up red from head to toe.August 10 marks the start of the Puck Fair, an Irish festival with a very unusual tradition. People from the town of Killorglin go up into the mountains ａｎｄ　catch a wild goat. They bring him back to town, put a crown on his head, ａｎｄ　make him king fｏｒthree days.There are also some celebrations that are really strange. In the United States, sometimes one person gets an idea fｏｒa new holiday ａｎｄ　tries to get others to accept it. Whose idea was Public Sleeping Day? That one is on February 28. It may seem strange, but it sounds like more fun than the one on February 9. ____Do you like the idea of inventing a new holiday? If you do, then you will want to mark March 26 on your calendar. That is Make Up Your Own Holiday Day.【單選題】

A.They bring him back to town, put a crown on his head, ａｎｄ　make him king fｏｒthree days.

3、A Bad IdeaThink you can walk, drive, take phone calls, e - mail ａｎｄ　listen to music at the same time? Well, New York\'s new law says you can\'t. ____ The law went into force last month, following research ａｎｄ　a shocking number of accidents that involved. people using electronic gadgets (小巧機(jī)械) when crossing the street.Who\'s to blame? Scientists say that our multitasking (多任務(wù)處理) abilities are limited. "We are under the impression that our brain can do more than it often can," says Rene Marois, a neuroscientist (神經(jīng)科學(xué)家) in Tennessee. "But a core limitation is the inability to concentrate on two things at once."The young people are often considered the great multitaskers. However, an Oxford University research suggests this perception is open to question. Aｇｒｏｕｐof 18 to 21 years old ａｎｄ　aｇｒｏｕｐof 35 to 39 years old were given 90 seconds to translate images into numbers, using a simple code. The youngerｇｒｏｕｐdid 10 percent better when not interrupted. But when both groups were interrupted by a phone call ｏｒan instant message, the olderｇｒｏｕｐmatched the youngerｇｒｏｕｐin speed ａｎｄ　accuracy.It is difficult to measure the productivity lost by multitaskers. Jonathan Spira, chief analyst at Basex, a business - research firm, estimates that the cost of interruptions to the American economy is nearly $650 billion a year, The estimate is based on surveys with office workers. The surveys conclude that 28 percent of the workers\' time was spent on interruptions ａｎｄ　recovery time before they returned to their main tasks.【單選題】

A.Talking on a cell phone while driving brings you joy anyway.

B.The estimate is based on surveys with office workers.

C.The youngerｇｒｏｕｐdid 10 percent better when not interrupted.

D.However, an Oxford University research suggests this perception is open to question.

E.Scientists say that our multitasking (多任務(wù)處理) abilities are limited.

F.ａｎｄ　you\'ll be fined $ 100 if you do so on a New York city street.

正確答案:F

4、Sleeping GiantRight now, an eruption is brewing in Yellowstone National Park. Sometime during the next two hours, the park\'s most famous geyser, Old Faithful, will begin gurgling boiling water ａｎｄ　steam. Then, an enormous fountain will shoot high into the air .Old Faithful is not only a spectacular sight； it\'s also a constant reminder that Yellowstone sits on one of the largest volcanoes in the world. If you\'ve never heard of Yellowstone\'s volcano, you\'re not alone. The volcano is so inconspicuous(不顯眼的) that few people know it exists. Yet it has erupted three times during the last 2 million years. ａｎｄ　one of those eruptions spewed enough volcanic ash ａｎｄ　other debris to blanket half the United States.Yellowstone\'s volcano is sometimes called a "super volcano," ｏｒextremely large ａｎｄ　explosive caldera volcano. Three calderas make up more than a third of Yellowstone National Park. This super volcano formed over a hot spot, an extremely hot area in Earth\'s mantle. John Valley, volcano professor, said that as the crust moves across a hot spot, the hot spot melts a. section of the plate moving over it, forming "one volcano after another. "The Yellowstone hot spot melts thick continental crust, which may cause catastrophic eruptions. According to experts the eruptions that created each of the three calderas in ａｎｄ　around Yellowstone National Park were larger than any other volcanic eruption in recorded history. The most recent eruption, which happened 640,000 years ago, produced at least l,000 cubic kilometers of ash ａｎｄ　debris, which blanketed most of the western half of the United States. _____.Geological evidence shows Yellowstone has blown its stack every 700,000 years ｏｒso. "If nature were truly that regular ａｎｄ　reliable, we would be clue fｏｒanother eruption soon," said Valley. "However, these processes are subject to variability, so we don\'t really know when the next eruption will happen. "While the active geologist processes at Yellowstone do pose some risk to tire public, they also make it a unique treasure. It is the volcanic energy that powers the geysers ａｎｄ　hot springs, creates the mountains ａｎｄ　canyons, ａｎｄ　generates the unique ecosystems that support Yellowstone\'s diverse wildlife.【單選題】

A.Three calderas make up more than a third of Yellowstone National Park.

B.The first Yellowstone eruption, 2 million years ago, released more than double that amount of ash ａｎｄ　debris.

C.The volcano is so inconspicuous(不顯眼的) that few people know it exists.

D.Then, an enormous fountain will shoot high into the air.

E.While the active geologist processes at Yellowstone do pose some risk to tire public, they also make it a unique treasure.

F.Yellowstone National Park attracts the interest of geologists the world over.

正確答案:B

答案解析:在選項(xiàng)B的“more than double that amount of ash ａｎｄ　debris”這個(gè)短語(yǔ)中，有關(guān)鍵詞 double that amount，說(shuō)明前面句子一定有一個(gè)數(shù)字。檢查后，發(fā)現(xiàn)這個(gè)數(shù)字是1,000 cubic kilometers of ash ａｎｄ　debris，可以斷定，選項(xiàng)B的句子就是要放回原位的句子。

5、Ants as a Barometer of Ecological ChangeAt picnics, ants are pests. But they have their uses. In industries such as training, farming ａｎｄ　forestry, they can help gauge the health of the environment by just crawling around ａｎｄ　being antsy.It has been recognized fｏｒdecades that ants-which are highly sensitive to ecological change can provide a near-perfect barometer of the state of an ecosystem. Only certain species, fｏｒinstance, will continue to thrive at a forest site that has been cleared of trees. Others will die out fｏｒlack of food. ａｎｄ　still others will move in ａｎｄ　take up residence.By looking at which species populate a deforested area, scientists can determine how "stressed" the lａｎｄ　is. They do this by sorting the ants, counting their numbers ａｎｄ　comparing the results with those of earlier surveys. Ants are used simply because they are so common ａｎｄ　comprise so many species.Where mine sites are being restored, fｏｒexample, some ant species will recognize the stripped lａｎｄ　more quickly than others. This allowed scientists to gauge the pace ａｎｄ　progress of the ecological recovery. Australian mining company Capricorn Coal Management has been successfully using ant surveys fｏｒyears to determine the rate of recovery of lａｎｄ　that it is replanting near its German Creek mine in Queensland.Ant surveys also have been used with mine-site recovery projects in Africa ａｎｄ　Brazil, where warm climates encourage dense ａｎｄ　diverse ant populations. "We found it worked extremely well there," says Jonathan Majer, a professｏｒof environmental biology. Yet the surveys are perfectly suited to climates throughout Asia, he says, because ants are so common throughout the region. As Majer puts it: "That\'s the great thing about ants. "Ant surveys are so highly-regarded as ecological indicators that governments worldwide accept their results when assessing the environmental impact of mining ａｎｄ　tree harvesting. ______.Why not? Because many companies can\'t afford the expense ｏｒthe laboratory time needed to sift results fｏｒa comprehensive survey. The cost stems, also, from the scarcity of ant specialists. Employing those people are expensive. 【單選題】

A.This allowed scientists to gauge the pace ａｎｄ　progress of the ecological recovery.

B.Yet in other businesses, such as farming ａｎｄ　property development, ant surveys aren\'t used widely.

C.Employing those people are expensive.

D.They do this by sorting the ants, counting their numbers ａｎｄ　comparing the results with those of earlier surveys.

E.The evolution of ant species may have a strong impact on our ecosystem.

F.Others will die out fｏｒlack of food.

正確答案:B

答案解析:選項(xiàng)B中的關(guān)鍵詞other businesses、farming、property提示，選項(xiàng)B的句子是前面句子的后續(xù)句，因?yàn)榍懊婢渥佑衜ining、tree harvesting，也是businesses。螞蟻分析法已被 mining和tree harvesting等行業(yè)廣泛接受，但在farming和property行業(yè)中的應(yīng)用還不普遍。
