(2012·山东省高三四市联考)
The world is filled with smart，talented，educated and gifted people.We meet them every day.A few days ago，my car was not running well.I pulled it into a garage，and the young mechanic had it fixed in just a few minutes.He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine.I was a mazed.The sad truth is that great talent is not enough.
I am constantly shocked at how little talented people earn.I heard the other day that less than 5 percent of Americans earn more than $100,000 a year.A business consultant who specializes in the medical，trade told me how many doctors and dentists struggled financially.It was this business consultant who gave me the phrase，“They are one skill away from great wealth.”
There is an old saying that goes，“Job means ‘just over broke (破产)’．” And unfortunately，I would say that the saying applies to millions of people.Because school does not think financial intelligence is intelligence，and most workers “live_within_their_means”．They work and they pay the bills.Instead I recommend young people to seek work for what they will learn，more than what they will earn.
When I ask the class I teach，“How many of you can cook a better hamhurger than McDonald’s？” almost all the students raise their hands.I then ask，“So if most of you can cook a better hamburger，how come McDonald’s makes more money than you？” The answer is obvious：McDonald’s is excellent at business systems.The reason why so many talented people are poor is that they focus on making a better hamburger but know little or nothing about business systems.The world is filled with talented poor people.They focus on perfecting their skills at making a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger.
1．The author mentions the mechanic in the first paragraph to show that________.
A．he is just one of the talented people
B．he is ready to help others
C．he has a sharp sense of hearing
D．he knows little about car repairing
2．The underlined part in the third paragraph can be best replaced by “________”．
A．spend more than they can afford
B．do in their own way
C．live in their own circle
D．live within what they earn
3．Why do talented people earn so little according to the author?
A．They don’t work hard enough.
B．They lack financial intelligence.
C．They don’t make full use of their talents.
D．They have no specialized skills.
4．The success of McDonald’s lies in its________.
A．skills at making hamburgers
B．good business systems
C．talented workers
D．excellent service
5．The main purpose of the author is to tell us________.
A．how young people can find a satisfactory job
B．what schools should teach students
C．why so many talented people are poor
D．how McDonald’s makes much money

(2012·陕西省五校第一次模拟)
Starting the day on an egg could keep your blood pressure (血压) under control，research suggests.Scientists have shown that eggs produce proteins with a function similar to that of powerful blood pressurelowering drugs.
The research，from the University of Alberta in Canada，showed that when eggs come in contact with stomach enzymes (酶) they produce a protein that acts in the same way as ACE_inhibitors，but more work is needed to show the effects outside a lab and in the human body.
Earlier this month，British researchers declared that，contrary to popular beliefs，it is healthy to go to work on an egg.They concluded that the type of cholesterol (胆固醇) found in eggs has little effect on increasing heart disease risks.
Researcher Professor Bruce Griffin，from the University of Surrey，said：“The wrong beliefs linking egg eating to high blood cholesterol and heart disease must be corrected.The amount of fat in our diet has an effect on blood cholesterol that is several times greater than the relatively small amounts of cholesterol found in eggs.The UK public do not need to be limiting the number of eggs they eat.They can be encouraged to include them in a healthy diet as they are one of nature’s most nutritious foods.” The British Heart Foundation dropped its threeeggaweek limit in 2005.However，almost half of Britons believe the limit still applies.
6．From the text we know that “ACE inhibitors” are________.
A．a kind of medicine
B．a kind of protein
C．a kind of illness
D．a kind of food
7．According to what Professor Bruce said，eggs________.
A．are the most nutritious food
B．have no effect on blood eholesterol
C．can be included in a healthy dietD．are forbidden to be eaten in the UK
8．We can infer from the text that________.
A．drugs to lower blood pressure will be replaced by eating eggs
B．stomach enzymes mixed with eggs can cure heart diseases
C．most Britons agree the threeeggaweek limit should be dropped
D．about 50% of Britons think eating an egg a day is bad for their health
9．The text is meant________.
A．to introduce scientific findings about eggs
B．to introduce a medicine made from eggs
C．to tell people how to lower their blood pressure
D．to advicse people to eat as many eggs as possible

.阅读理解
语篇解读： 这是一篇议论文。作者认为要赚钱光有天赋是不够的，还需要有一定的经济头脑和良好的管理才能。
1．解析： 考查推理判断。第一段开头提到世界上到处都是聪明有才，学识渊博的人，并举了一个年轻机械工的例子，故A项正确。
答案： A
2．解析： 考查短语猜测。根据第三段可知，学校并不认为有经济头脑是智慧，大多数工人自己工作，自己付账，由此可推知大多数工人只靠所赚的钱生存，故画线部分表示“量入为出”，即D项正确。
答案： D
3．解析： 考查推理判断。根据第三段内容再结合最后一段第四句话“The reason why so many talented people are poor is that they focus on making a better hamburger but know little or nothing about business systems.”可知有天赋的人赚得少是因为缺少经济头脑。
答案： B
4．解析： 考查细节理解。根据最后一段第三句“...McDonald’s is excellent at business systems”可知答案。
答案： B
5．解析： 考查主旨大意。文章第一段通过一个机械工的故事引出话题，第二段的第一句话点明了本文要论述的中心问题——有才能的人赚钱并不多，下文详细解释了这一现象的原因，故C项最能概括本文主旨。
答案： C
语篇解读： 研究发现，每天吃一个鸡蛋对降低血压大有裨益，鸡蛋与胃酶结合后产生的蛋白质与降压药物有着同样的功效。
6．解析： 词义猜测题。第一段的后半部分提到鸡蛋产生蛋白质的作用与强效降血压药物类似，此处与之相呼应，表示鸡蛋与胃酶结合后产生蛋白质的作用与药物相当。由此可推知“ACE inhibitors”是一种药。
答案： A
7．解析： 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段最后一句的内容可知Bruce教授认为鸡蛋属于健康食物。
答案： C
8．解析： 推理判断题。最后一段的最后一句提到几乎一半的英国人相信对鸡蛋的限制仍然适用，由此可推断这些人依旧认为每天吃一个鸡蛋对健康有害。

答案： A
